Titlagarh-47.5 degrees Celcius, Rentahintala-52 degrees Celcius, Ganganagar….just another competitor. As cities and towns in India are bask…sorry…baking in sun, summer is making its presence known almost everywhere. Hill station inhabitants, we envy you! While not much can be done to push the heat away (as what needs to be done…
Not much has changed since Alexander Graham Bell’s ‘telephone’. Okay, scratch that, since the invention of telephone, only one thing has remained constant-Your call is in a queue and will be answered shortly! To muddy the already murky waters of communication, smartphones ushered in words like low battery, another country,…
The sleek face was what caught my eye. My eyes lovingly traced each of its details. The usual look of a timepiece but the unusual claim of being a smart piece, the Moto watch had me eating out of its hands in no time. That is until I knew its…
What happens when the one which inspires is in need of an inspiration? What happens when a dazzling source is threatened by the halo of its subsidiary? In an era of cutthroat competition, one would either have to imitate its competitor or outshine it without much room for questioning. Apple…
What aspect of an advertisement tends to catch your eye? For me, it’s always the protagonists, a female lead usually has me eating out of the advertiser’s hands in no time. A female lead in a male dominated world is all the more better. Sure, Microsoft in the past has…
The need to use golden words weighs one down the most at the initial stages of being introduced to these gems. At the onset of adulthood, most of these words alienate the once eager user. Rudeness often confused with authoritativeness is almost always used kicking politeness out of purview. Somewhere…
It was Christmas, a legit reason to bake cakes. “I want two dozen eggs”, said she. I rushed to the nearest store and carefully carried the lot all the way home. My carefulness amazed me, pride swell within me. Phone in one, eggs in another, I took the stairs to…
Of late we all have been heading to Lifehacker for the smartest ways to spruce and tidy our homes to smart investment ideas. She (only a female can have all the smart answers) has been a savior for many. In a recent post, she taught us how to ward off…
The world is a joke, period! Be it the word ‘only’ funnily misplaced next to a currency whose value runs in five digits or, people in heated discussion about properties worth investing in as real estate reacquainted itself with the word cheap or Delhite advocating the safety of Delhi, funny…
My culinary skills would convince Gordon Ramsay to quit Hell’s Kitchen and retreat to a lonesome mansion in Scotland to eat haggis (but then, he might already dig it) till the end of his days. My expertise in the kitchendom include the following – Boiling a cake, Baking water, Sautéing juice… You get…
Over the years the idea of moving and settling in has evolved. For our parents, moving entitled-trucks, cranky babies, loads and loads of furniture….these often followed with days of deciding, “Where would that piece go?” For us moving and settling in entitles a suitcase and setting up a Wi-Fi router,…
While your social media is taunting you with pictures of your once insane batch mates and friends taking a plunge into sanity by tying a knot with another ex-insanitie (two negatives make a positive), people who’ve long taken the route and have grown weary of it have found solace in the…
With new phone comes in new zone! A zone which makes you grapple with questions like-Do I need it? Would I use it? Do I deserve it? (not really) Did I use it? Would it take up a lot of space? Is it dependable enough……well, yes, I can over-analyze the teeny-weeniest of them…
We all are bound by limitations and therefore, words like evolution and discovery trail half-baked cakes like us everywhere. We haven’t found it all and maybe, (I am dead sure of that) we would never ever find it all (as Christine Perry has signed, stamped and delivered this fact by singing…
If you dig films based on revolutionary movements then Mona Lisa Smile should make it to your list. I believe many of us would see our present in a movie which claims to have borrowed a leaf from the books of history. A woman with a backbone of steel, Katharine…
In 2013, our attention span reportedly dropped from 12 seconds to 8 seconds just within a span of 13 years. Now, if your attention span was not a part of this study and is a cause of pride for you, do the math and gauge the results for the year 2015…
Galileo said the world is round and went ahead to spend some me-time within the confines of four walls (could have been three for all we know about the Italians). He (Galileo) never had to sit down for a moment and wrestle with the thought of how can my presentation be seen on the…
More than once in a lifetime we all find ourselves carrying out responsibilities for which we weren’t cut out in the first place. While your mother would call you a dawdler who also happens to be a good for nothing and your neighbors pride themselves for birthing kids whose looks…
If you live in a metro, the sight of a giant hoarding with a man whose eyes are set on infinity with a golf club in hand heralding the arrival of a new property in town would be common for you. A trending gimmick embraced by property seller these days-…
