“Hello mam, I am calling from blah blah life insurance mam, are you interested mam? Blah blah blah..” WTF?!
There are 0.7 million people working in call centers in our country today. Almost everybody has a cell phone, which works on a sim card, provided by network operators like, Idea, Vodafone, Airtel, BSNL, MTNL, etc. The calls and messages from these service providers are also as random as the above two lines. And besides, telephone companies earn heaps doing all this.
The worst part of having a sim card and a mobile phone might be, getting... Read→
There are two kinds of world today. The real world and the world of internet. There is no one today, who says, “I am not a part of any social networking site”. Be it Orkut, Facebook, Myspace, Hi5 or any other site you can think of, people are addicted to it initially. Going online, checking your scraps or walls, seeing if you got any comments on your photos, checking out if any hot guy or girl sent you a request and on the process of logging in and out goes. And also the process of making the owners of such sites richer. Even kids, as young... Read→
It might be the oldest profession in the world and life must be complex being a part of it. It is pretty easy to identify them. They wear revealing outfits, excess make-up, carry vibrant colored purses and mock men on the streets. The sex workers are sometimes at remote places searching for clients or in the bars dancing. But irrespective of their age and the discrepancies shown by the government, the prostitutes dwell in several locations in the city, which are famously known as the “red light areas”. These red light areas have become increasingly... Read→
You cannot escape ragging if you are studying in a country like ours. No matter how freaked out you are, how well your academic performance has been or how powerful your father is, fun and humiliation in the form of ragging is always a part of college life. Seniors say it is a way of interaction, and juniors endlessly complain about how they cannot stand the embarrassment. But then hypocritically, the juniors end up ragging their juniors in future. The myth about the intense ragging in medical colleges, is to an extent true. MNR Medical College... Read→
Be it absolutely any song, the spirit was phenomenal with energy that ever fatigued. I am talking about the dance show conducted by the leading dance institute Twist and Turns yesterday, on the 23rd of May, at Hari Hara Kala Bhavan, Secunderabad.

Spirit of Summer was a fifteen day workshop, supervised by the head of the institution, Aaryan and his co-instructors. Any body even remotely interested in western dance, were allowed to participate in... Read→
The day a new movie releases, people rush to watch it, irrespective of who the actor is. That’s the trend people mainly in the south follow. People here are movie buffs in the true sense. The commotion and ado doubles when the movies have the public’s favorite stars in them. The group that gain maximum advantage out of the excited population are the black movie ticket marketers. Public here are movie maniacs, and hence the black market thrives. By the time you enter the theatre, most of the tickets are sold out and excited movie watchers have... Read→
People are generally categorized based on their eating preferences as Vegetarians and Non-vegetarians. But what would you call a human being who feeds on dead bodies? Death is consciously or unconsciously feared by all. It is one part of life which cannot be comprehended. Every body knows that there are certain abnormally brained people who enjoy killing their own species and feed on them. These are the cannibals. But not many are aware of a tribe that dwells in India, whose people feed on dead humans. They actually worship death more than anything... Read→
Yeah, it’s a two-in-one word, but pretty apt. You will know what I am talking about if you go and check out Bank Street in Koti. Bank Street plausibly hosts the city’s best pirated DVDs and VCDs sale. Go to Koti and ask anyone on the road about cheap DVDs, they’ll usher you to Bank street. The entrance of the street is dingy and dirty, but you will be spellbound by the crowd there. You will not generally, even find place to stand. Every shop here owns and sells the latest movies to the most expensive games at the cheapest price. You don’t... Read→
“Hey fat guy! Come here and dance on zara zara touch me, just the way Katrina does!”, “Do what I say, you are a bloody junior!”, “Bend on your knees and sit for an hour. One jerk and I’ll kick on your willy!”, “Hey smart girl, go propose that loser over there.” These are just the initial scenes of the episodes of what the seniors call ‘interaction’ in colleges. They refuse to call it ragging since they think the word is offensive. For them all this is just a way to have a fun filled rendezvous with their juniors. But... Read→
