While many debate over the authenticity of its name, and even more argue if it's the ‘City of dreams’ or the ‘City of Night Life’, the silent spectator in me wanted to live what Mumbai is in it’s packed trains, stall laden stations, bustling streets, and jam packed food joints.

There is always a way…
Identity – something
which defines who you are. Will you comfortable to know that there
must be about hundreds of cyber nerds who might be spying on you?
That’s not all. What if someone is stealing your privacy details
for some petty work? And how does it feel to know that the
Government, the NSA and all the internet giants like Facebook,
Google, YouTube and Twitter know about everything you search on the
internet. They might have been making money by improvising on the
kind of ads on your screen that way, but doesn't it feel like
intrusion? Why should they know about what we like or what pictures
we take.

India a Democracy - The biggest fluke of the century?
It is said that India is a free country. That it is the largest democracy in the world.
Have you seen lately what has been happening in its capital city Delhi?
Girls from Northeast are laughed at and teased every day in the capital. Boys from northeast are smirked at because of their looks. people on road pass obscene comments. But why?

What a Website should have
Websites uncountable! Now there is innumerable number of websites raging the World Wide Web which makes it nearly impossible to keep count. Some people may say it is a sign of the world catching up on technological advancement, but the reality is quite the opposite. Till now, only a handful of the world’s populi get access to internet. There are regions in our nation India itself, where there is not even electricity, let alone internet.

Friends for life!
“Hey! Come here!” my bestie shouted at me. I stole the
clothes she was supposed to wear after having a bath and hid it under the couch
in the living room. She was running with a comb in her hand behind me all
around the room. We did not stop until we were extremely tired and started
sweating in the December cold. She was shouting at me for making her sweat
after her bath. After taking a shower yet again, I brought her the clothes…

Yoga Tablet - A dream come true!
“Can you tell me how to write this article on Godmen?”… A
junior asked me in facebook. I gave the instructions duly and returned to
blogging on my Tablet. After that came my employer’s call in Skype inquiring if
I was finished proof-reading the articles he asked for. I said I would mail him
the write-ups right then as I was already done with them. Then my PG mate came
to ask me what we would cook for dinner and if I had planned anything. I did a
quick search on easy to cook recipes in Google on my Tab and gave her two
options to choose from. After that, we got the ingredients and started cooking
by following the instructions right from the Internet. Oh, the tab was of such
help! If only it had a stand so that we can keep it like a paper on a paper
stand.

AAP+BJP or AAP+Congress?... The Big Question in Delhi Now
The election results of the country's capital was astounding to one and all in the nation. After 15 years, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) managed to sweep the polls, though not with majority. it was 4 counts behind to forming a Government of its own.
What matters is the trust people place in the candidates. The victorious party BJP indeed has citizens vouching for it. People in Delhi have placed their hopes in BJP, thinking the party would bring in the necessary 'winds of change' for their betterment. So why give up so easily?

To Study or Not
“No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
what we believe is true
No matter what they call us
however they attack
No matter where they take us
we’ll find our own way back”

Man or Demon!
I am a big dog lover. I have the experience of growing up with five dogs around me during the early years of my childhood. What you are about to read has nothing to do with me liking dogs a lot. In fact, I am sure every humane person out there would be shocked to see what I saw today as I was walking along the road with one of my PG mates here at Satya Niketan in New Delhi.

Remembering Edmund Spenser...
For whatsoever from one place doth fall, Is with the tide unto an other brought: For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.― Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene
Edmund Spenser’s poetic excellence needs no introduction. His style of writing motivates and entertains people even now. If poetry is to be valued by its power of lifting us into a world of dream and happiness, a world free from tyranny of reality, the Spenser’s poems are the solution. Indeed, Edmund Spenser has rightly been named the ‘poet’s poet’.
