Ingredients of a successful human
Posted at: 12:51 By: Atika Ahmad Farooqui

Have you heard of Shahrukh Khan? Well you can't possibly say no. My 3 year old nephew knows about Shahrukh Khan and humms his songs. So who exactly is Shahrukh Khan? An actor? A bussinessman? An entertainer? A star? Or simply an incredibly inspiring man? Correct my friend...simply an incredibly inspiring man.

Bollywood aur Multiplex owners ke beech jang
Posted at: 07:21 By: Ujjawal Trivedi

Pichle kaee dino se main theater mein film dekhne nahi jaa paya. Jaante hain iski wajah kya hai? Iske liye zimmedar hai wo ladaee jo chhidi huee hai Bollywood Producers aur Multiplex owners ke beech. Pichle kareeb teen hafton se na to koi badi film release huee hai aur na hi is hafte koi ummeed hai ki koi badi film hum sabka dil bahlane aaegi.

Bollywood...yeh jadoo hai jadoo
Posted at: 04:53 By: Atika Ahmad Farooqui

"Bollywood jise kehte hain jaadu ka khilauna hai, mil jaye to mitti hai kho jaye to sona hai...” Amitabh Bachchan and various elite members of this fraternity simply hate to address their Hindi Film Industry as 'Bollywood' and constantly insist that let it be this way only. But truth be told, Hindi Film Industry is known by this term the world over and continues to be searched on google and other search engines by this word only.

Nangepan ka sach
Posted at: 12:20 By: Ujjawal Trivedi

Bollywood mein haal hi mein Akshay Kumar ne ramp par jo harkat ki uske baad unki patni Twinkle Khanna ko kuch samay ke liye jail ki hawa khani padi. Lekin sawal ye hai ki galti kiski thi? Button kholne wale ki ya button khulwane wale ki? Ye idea dene wale ki ya phir is so called vulgur act mein se vulgarity ko nikal kar isey baar baar TV ya newspapers mein dikhane wale ki?

'What happens in Vegas will seldom happen in India'
Posted at: 02:14 By: Shilpa Attavar

This movie may not make sense to most of us. The reason behind it, being an awkward love story. But perceptions do differ. It can also be viewed as a predictable comedy that insists on spending time in an unhappy marriage in order to sow love. As far as I am concerned, it was a good break for me from the routine love dramas that either drift your imaginations into a dream land or make you sob while leaving the theaters.

Its spring season… its love
Posted at: 02:57 By: Jaya Srivastava

Well, it was quite amazing to find out that 14th February is a holiday in some of the countries in the western world like USA, France, and Italy amongst others. (Wow, I wish we had a day off too in India…) After all, they celebrate it with grandiose just like a festival. In France and Italy, only lovers can exchange gifts and love tokens. In Italy, a special gift, Baci Perugina chocolate is given away. Each 'Baci' chocolate which means 'kisses' in Italian is a creamy dark chocolate with rich hazelnut center. It's specialty..? It comes wrapped in a paper written with poetic love note in four languages, describing the course of love.
