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 horror of the Laxmanpur Bathe massacre.
December 1, 1997: In one of the darkest...
Edelweiss Tokio Life Wealth Plus recently launched a new insurance product, a one of its kind unit-linked life insurance plan.
Let’s discuss the various benefits that it offers to us as a consumer and whether it is worth considering or not:
1. Nil Allocation And Administration Charges
The entire premium paid is directly invested in the funds as per one’s chosen investment...
Education fairs are commonly known as just a place to while away some time, get to talk to a few foreigners and spend some time having some tea and biscuits.
I have not really encountered anyone really who genuinely has gotten something useful out of these fairs except some heavy pre-made packets full of pamphlets, college brochures and the occasional...
Residents of the coastal areas of South India were thrown into a flurry yesterday as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) bulletin warned Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Lakshadweep Islands of an approaching cyclone storm. Dubbed Cyclone Ockhi, meaning ‘eye’ in Bengali, it is particularly dreaded after the scars left by the previous year’s Cyclone Vardah in Tamil Nadu. Residents are...
Of lately, there has been a constant cacophony of a concept which might or might not exist: Love Jihad.
For the ones who are not well known with the subject, here's some background:
Love Jihad is an activity where Muslim men use love to lure Hindu women into converting to Islam and then maybe marrying them. It is also alleged that...
VR or Virtual Reality is not a new concept but companies are coming up with different ways to use this technology, the most recent example being in the fitness and gymming sphere.
It’s no news that people don’t like to work out, so I applaud any attempt being made towards making this harrowing activity more fun and interactive.
We remember the...

As a girl, I know exactly how difficult it is to live in a city like Delhi, where crime rates, especially against women, are increasing every single day.
And in light of the recent Chandigarh gang-rape, I would just like to infirm that victim shaming is an extremely...
The traffic issue that Delhi faces is so recognizable that it almost constitutes as a separate point to look out when visiting Delhi.
Not that other states don’t have their fair share of traffic problems, but I have to say, seldom does any beat what is found on the roads of Delhi.
The BRT, which was opened up with such pomp...
Virat Kohli, Indian cricket's No. 18 is a lot of things. Genius. Provocateur. Artist. These are just a few words one may use to describe the Indian cricket team's captain across all formats. None of these adjectives do any justice to his work. The word, record-breaker is one of them. And yet, the way he is turning out to...
Let's be honest. Who doesn't love video games? They are the perfect escape anyone can have from reality. We all have grown up dreaming about saving the princess from the dragon or ride that cool, funky car in Need For Speed. Video games have truly been an integral part of our growing up years.
But with recent developments, video games...
Have you heard about the 'Oxford of the East'? No? Well, maybe that’s because you are unfamiliar with its Indian name. That's right, we are talking about Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune!
The factor which highlights the educational excellence of Savitribai Phule Pune University is the fact that these are some notable alumni: Late Vilasrao Deshmukh: Former Chief Minister...
WhatsApp is constantly updating and making it even more essential and difficult to leave. With each new update, one more problem or issue is being solved making the app something of a need less than just another messaging app.
Remember in a previous article I mentioned that WhatsApp obviously loved Android users more than iOS users, well perhaps finally the...
Yesterday, a wave of surprise swept over the internet as CICSE (Certificate for the Indian School Certificate Examination), the enviable, more qualified brother of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced that it was going to lower the percentage required for students to pass an exam.
I can already hear ICSE board students dancing in the streets.
What exactly happened?
So,...
To all the ladies out there, I'm sorry. Your daydreams of getting married to a handsome, rich and royal ginger-head are about to be crushed. Prince Henry of Wales aka Prince Harry aka the best looking member of the British royal family and fifth in line for the British crown has just announced his engagement to a certain Meghan...
When it comes to Yoga, you wouldn’t really have much to be surprised with considering most of it is pretty standard.
At least the actual Yoga is and not the strange and westernized Yoga that foreigners are into that tries to combine Yoga with several other things.
Yoga also is assumed either something that old people do, basically, anyone over the...

Does this ad ring a bell with many of you?
Ever had thoughts of self-doubt and self-critical judgments?
Ever stared at that pimple and wondered for hours or looked at yourself in the mirror like 100 times day?
Well, these might be the signs that you actually need help with something that is more critical than that pimple or that...
Museums are perhaps not the most exciting place as per common understanding. Usually, the people who visit museums are considered stuck-up, pretentious, too serious and not fun loving. Museums are generally where old people go or teachers forcefully take their students on a class excursion.
The environment of a museum doesn’t help its case, however, to anyone who really wants...
The winter period has started and the never-ending debate of whether there should be a winter break in football to give the players ample amount of rest has kicked in gain.
We have analyzed a few factors that make the FA deny a winter break but also receive scathing criticism for it.
Why Play During Winter?
According to various sources, it is...
Derrick Rose: What Could've Been?
No, that's not the name of his biography but it is quite fitting, given the current state of affairs which surround the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard and former MVP.
It has been a strange ride for Derrick Rose, ever since he won the MVP trophy in the 2010-11 NBA season. Injury after injury made it seem...
When it comes to a country as diverse as India, you can bet that in terms of folk regional music, you will probably never run out of options.
Folk music has frankly never really been given the amount of appreciation and attention it deserves and it mostly relegated for foreign tourists who want to see the ‘true India’ or for...

What Is LaxmiCoin?
Created by Raj Dangi and Mitts Daki, Laxmicoin will probably become India’s first digital cryptocurrency which will be regulated by the RBI. It will become an alternative to the Indian rupee and if implemented successfully, it will truly embark India into true digital revolution.
An official from RBI had been quoted as saying:
“Right now, we have a group of...
I belong to the narrow spectrum of people who are obsessed with neologies or buzzwords. My WhatsApp handle would go by the name Muffin Tops derived from the Economics of Muffin Tops exploited by Elaine Benes when she traded her ideas about selling the top of the muffin instead of stump.
But muffin top is beyond the physical layers of...

What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear: "Starbucks"?
Too Flashy? Overrated? Obnoxious hipsters? Lifesaver? Warm? Homely?
No matter what your stance on Starbucks is, you cannot ignore the cultural impact it has had all over the globe (or everywhere, for my Flat-Earthers).

Starbucks is largely responsible for...
