Liv’ED It is an ED original style where we write about our personal experiences on experiencing and reviewing any app/place/website which gives us a feeling of coming back for more.
Google App Tez is yet another example of Google making an appearance into a separate new field! For those of you who aren't aware, Google has launched its very own...
Modern feminism is a modern joke. And I'm not even shy in admitting it.
The rich ones sitting in the comfort of their velvety curtains and silk sheets get to talk about issues which make no sense to the ones deprived of 3 meals a day.
They "raise awareness" and "protest online" about not getting seats in the metro, about deodorants...

“No family is perfect....we argue, we fight. But in the end, the family is all we have. The love remains the same”.
-unknown author
This is the golden principle our Indian culture has been swearing by, generation after generation. And this principle is true also, on many grounds. The family is all the support and love we need and...
We love to see our female leads crying and depressed, don’t we?
Why is it that Bollywood is so afraid of portraying women in a female-oriented movie, as someone who is fun and lives life like a regular person?
I know that women are mostly, extremely repressed and have to deal with patriarchy, sexism, harassment, and assault.
Bollywood usually seems intent on...

Banaras Hindu University, one of the premium educational institutions of India has been erupting with extreme violence since Saturday amidst growing protests by the students of BHU.
What Exactly Is The Issue?
Apparently, a first year student of the University was molested by three unknown men on a bike inside the campus while she was returning to her hostel...
Kashmir humaara hai? No. Technically, this is not the thing that crosses the mind of Pakistani youth.
Quora gave that space to Pakistani youths and this is the answer we all got:
The diversity
Almost every answer spoke of how India is rich in its ethnicity and cultures. Many Pakistanis find it remarkable that India is able to sustain such geographically...

Back in Time is ED’s newspaper-like column that reports an incident from the past as though it has happened just yesterday. It allows the reader to re-live it several years later, on the date it had occurred. This time, we take you Back in Time to the release of The Shawshank Redemption.
September 24, 1994: ‘The Shawshank Redemption,'...
Disclaimer: I am nowhere stating it as a fact that either of these items were stolen or gifted, some reports claim that it was gifted, while others report them as stolen. That topic I believe is a debate for another time.
India was not called the ‘golden bird’ or ‘sone ki chidiya’ for nothing. According to certain sources, ancient India was...
A majority of the middle-class population in India spends most of their time on finding ways and means to evade taxes. No wonder, we pay our CA’s handsomely to wriggle us out of the tax conundrum.
Here we list some easy and at the same legal ways to evade taxes in India.
Tricky Investments
Certain investments provide us with a tax rebate....
I am a bit sick and tired of Lovepanky and HerFeed telling me all the time that I deserve better as a heterosexual woman.
That seems to be everything that has captured the imagination of women on the internet, how to move on from a broken heart and how to be excellent in a new relationship.
And be a G.I.R.L. B.O.S.S....
The relationship between JNU and the Centre has been a tumultuous one recently. A deep mistrust in the minds of the student community and a less than the diplomatic route to handle them by the government has resulted in a sort of standoff, where words are being exchanged on both sides and nothing more.
A majority of JNU politics exist...

Recently, two famous celebrities from the tinsel town were photographed chilling out with each other. Mahira Khan was seen smoking with Ranbir Kapoor as conventional folks hanging out.
Twitter was in sort of dither with tweets sparking hate and abuse over Mahira Khan dressing provocatively and bumming a cigarette.
Unsolicited and sexist as usual!

The recent arrest of twenty people from Hyderabad including five Omani and three Qatari citizens has made quite a news. In furtherance of the arrest, many brokers who 'arrange' child brides for foreign sheikhs have also been trapped under the radar of the police. The arrest, made in connection with the sale of underage brides to Arab...
Why are there no movies about ghosting, breadcrumbing and boys not responding to WhatsApp messages? Instead, we are made to suffer through 15th century-isque die-hard Romeo type senseless movies like Half Girlfriend and more.
I really want to ask, who does this much waiting and chasing in today’s date?
Kon karta hai ye sab aaj ki date mein?
Please, as a...

Picture this, you’re sitting in a concert hall awaiting a band’s performance. Behind closed curtains, you hear a steady thumping sound reverberate. Gentle trills from a violin follow and a crescendo of trumpets and, CURTAIN RISE! Wait, there are no instruments on stage?
Behold, the wonders of the human voice and the magic of a cappella.

I have been seeing much on the internet of this growing trend of homeschooling kids. Parents are starting to understand that perhaps the school education system is not as good as they thought it would be and that it does more harm than good.
Thus, parents, these days are opting to home-school their kids and adopting different styles of teaching...
The recent turmoil in the Bihar politics has not only changed the game for many but also questioned the moral standpoint and political principles of many politicians including Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
One who has emerged out with clean hands from this fiasco unquestionably is Sharad Yadav.
Sharad Yadav is one of those politicians whom centre cannot choose to ignore...
“This Is London”
These were the words which brought people running to their radio systems as they eagerly put out an ear and cranked up the volume to listen to the daily briefings of the BBC World Service.
Throughout the empire (and beyond) this was THE service that people listened to. All announcements for major world events to take place...
Yeah, I said it. Like a typical modern day narcissistic man, I feel that most of the men who surround me lack style and that's exactly why I feel that middle-class Indian men need to have a fashion sense.
Now I don't have anything against the Indian men, or maybe I do and you can read my article on why...

The best thing about fashion – It keeps on changing allowing both men and women the independence of imbibing new and funky trends in their dressing styles over the years.
After all who doesn’t like to dress up, guys!
Apart from being pretty popular for their opinionated asses, superhuman pool of talents (exaggerated much?) and gorgeous features, the one...
#PartnerED
To mark September 28th this year, which is globally recognized as the Global Day of Action for Access to Safe and Legal Abortion, Love Matters India has launched its campaign #ChoiceOverStigma: Reproductive Rights Matter, Choices Matter, Women Matter, geared towards recognizing, acknowledging, respecting, and celebrating all the diverse choices that women make pertaining to their bodies, sexuality, and reproduction,...
Fame often comes with a little bit of craze. Or maybe it is the eccentric personalities that are most drawn to the world of music, art, and performance. We often get to hear about brilliant, talented people acting in strange ways or having bizarre attitudes. Today, we take a look at some of the most talented and eccentric musicians...
Game Of Thrones season 7 recently concluded its run (with an awkward view of Kit Harrington's butt that I didn't want to see) and we can't help but speculate some popular and mildly crazy fan theories as to how the show will end. Game Of Thrones fan theories for season 8 have set the internet ablaze and we couldn't...
Golmal hai bhai sab golmal hai
These are the lines which come to mind when I look at the TV these days. Mindless entertainment is packaged in a nice shiny little wrapper and being sold by the best salesmen ever.
A clarification here, I am not talking about TV shows, but news. News has become nothing but a race for...
Modernisation has hit us hard.
Technology is ruling lives.
Modern life ain't the same anymore. Gone are the days of heart to heart conversation in people's physical presence. Gone are the days of playing fun games out.
Modern life is all about tagging friends in lit memes and spending Friday nights drinking away. As much cliché it sounds, it's true.
