What do you call someone who you followed on social media because they are good looking but now they seem to think they are the hottest thing in town? Like you had no deeper reason at all. See good looking face, hit follow. It's almost a pablovian response at this point. And initially they know it. There posts come with captions like "Wednesday night, shoutout to my followers #plslike…

How are shoes made? (Hint: It's a lot of work!)
Do you ever find yourself getting into a rabbit hole and before you know it, it’s been seven hours and you have lost all sense of perspective? For me, the latest such journey began when I happened to see a short video on Instagram on someone hammering nails into a shoe mould. Clearly, that was a step in making shoes. Intrigued I went on to YouTube and that is how I spent all evening watching…

KCR need not steal a Kannada poet for Telangana
#Pampa: #KCR need not steal a Kannada poet for #Telangana
Is it still an honour when the honoured did not actually do what he is being honoured for, and the people who are doing the honouring have no idea who he is? Is Rajnikanth going to become the new icon of the Marathi Manoos? Or is Dr Rajkumar now going to be the new Thaliva of Tamil Nadu? Bizarre as that may sound, it could be a possibility since apparently, a lot can happen in this nation. Here…

Doctor Strange: Casting Tilda Swinton is certainly ‘Strange’!
#DoctorStrange: Casting #TildaSwinton is certainly ‘Strange’!
Here is the thing – I do not think “white washing” in American cinema is some conspiracy by ‘the man’. If the majority of the audience is Caucasian Americans, then I have no problem with Hollywood making movies where they feature prominently. Cultural appropriation is also not a real thing. All culture will be shared and inter-wined. Demanding quotas or forced representation equal to percentage…

Blame and Shame: Kerala temple tragedy forces introspection
Blame and Shame: Kerala temple tragedy forces introspection
Kerala suffered such a horrific tragedy on Sunday that even the Chinese President was moved to say a few words about the incident in the Leftist state. In a message of condolence to President Pranab Mukherjee, Xi said he was shocked to learn of the tragedy which left many people dead and many others injured in the explosions and fire due to fireworks at the temple near Kollam. “At this moment of…

Review: 'Ki and Ka' is fine in parts
#Review: '#KiandKa' is fine in parts, with an important idea at it's heart
The movie is based on a simple concept – boy meets girl, falls in love and they decide to get married. Unlike every other romantic love story, there is no drama or twists in order for them to get married. But the real problems come post-marriage. Arjun Kapoor is a house husband and Kareena Kapoor is an ambitious career-orientated working woman. House husbands are a relatively new concept in…

Why is Hinduism and PM Modi solely responsible for rapes in India?
Why is #Hinduism and #PMModi solely responsible for rapes in India?
It is always strange to see people with little or no idea about India or Hinduism try to conjure up theories on how India works via their assumptions. Pakistani Shaan Khan kicked off a minor storm through her article in the Daily Beast – ‘What’s Really Behind India’s Rape Crisis’ To be clear, there is no denying the fact the Indian women face real and horrific dangers on a daily basis, and Indian…

What will it take for the BJP to reform India?
What will it take for the BJP to reform India?
In 2014 the Bharatiya Janata Party gained a complete majority in India’s Lower House of Parliament, called the Lok Sabha, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi – who promised sweeping developmental reforms. But after 22 months, the reforms remain all talk and no trousers. Within the BJP, there appears a distinct lack of understanding of politics and Parliamentary process. Image:…

Infographics: #Budget2016 at a glance
Here is a huge bunch of info-graphics released by the Indian Government with regards to the budget. It has everything you want to know from how much money is expected to where it is all being spent. A more detailed study of the budget will show all the various hidden aspects of it. But for now, here is a broad overview.

#Budget2016: Ten responses by the 'midde-class'
#Budget2016: Ten responses by the ‘midde-class’
The budget has evoked many reactions, but mostly muted. A pro-farmer, tax heavy budget, with no great advantages for the middle class was never going to prove very popular, especially on Twitter. And as expected there was plenty of sarcasm and name-calling. Excellent budget for the Aadhaar-card holding non-smoker who lost his degree certificate and plans to launch a loss-making startup this year…

The greatest how-to cooking video (Evah!)
The greatest how-to cooking video (Evah!)
How-to videos are a truly the great boon of the golden era we live in. Whether you want to know how to dispose of a body or how to screw in a nut, you will find some expert (or dimwit) showing you how to do it on YouTube. But the time has come to ask – are we going too far with this? For as a specimen, I present exhibit A – how to make a three-cheese blend. You can watch the video right here…

Ravish Kumar's great answer to Arnab's craziness
Ravish Kumar’s great answer to Arnab’s craziness
On February 10, 2016, when the huge issue of JNU students chanting anti-India slogans and praising Afzal Guru first came to national attention, Times Now’s Arnab Goswami chose that as his topic of debate for the ‘Newshour’. The entire debate can be seen here. The entire debate is basically one long condemnation of the students – neutrality long forgotten. Whatever your point of view, one thing we…

When a Historian and a Principal bickered over a dead dhabawalla
When a Historian and a Principal bickered over a dead dhabawalla
It is always amusing to see grown adults with serious and stately titles bicker over the pettiest of things. Clearly education and prestige are not a barrier to snide remarks and tearful harangues. Before we get into the play, let us have a look at the main characters. Ramachandra Guha is considered by some to be one of India’s foremost historians. He has taught in the University of California,…

What is Zika and should we be worried?
What is Zika and should we be worried?
Zika is a virus, transmitted by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes and it is native to Africa. It was first identified in a macaque monkey from the Zika Forest of Uganda in 1947. The first human case was discovered in Nigeria in 1954. Until 2007, it was a very rare disease, confined to the African continent. Since then it has slowly spread around the world. Currently, there is a large epidemic of the…

Five times 'peaceful' Bengaluru went wild
Five times ‘peaceful’ Bengaluru went wild
There is a great amount of discussion right now about the racist attacks on several African men and women in Hessargatta in Bengaluru. The Tanzanian student was beaten and then stripped by a group of locals in Bengaluru after they assumed she was part of an incident in which a Sudanese man had run over a local woman. The incident took place on Hesaraghatta Road in Bengaluru on Saturday night…

Instagram: The strange world of shout-outs and ‘brothers’
As a recent joinee to the wonderful world of Instagram, I must admit I find its odd world of food pictures and endless selfies captivating. Take the culture of ‘shout-outs’. These are accounts whose sole purpose is to collate up pictures of pretty people, so that stalkers do not have to take the effort of scouring Instagram themselves. Every one of these pages is plastered with the motto “Send…

Indian Eye Spy: #PadmaAward4Bhakts
With the latest list of the Padma awards announced, the scrutiny on the awardees is intense. While it’s natural that there be some debate over the choices, for some of them at least, the bias is a bit too…obvious, especially when they seem to have confirmed the bias themselves. Such was the case for actor Anupam Kher, who was naturally overjoyed at winning his own Padma Bhushan. Which would be…
