10 signs of men who fall into the ‘Drama queen’ category!

Yes men too can be super-dramatic at times (sometimes even more dramatic than most of the women around). And each one of us has that one guy friend who never fails to entertain/annoy us with his dramatic antics! Take a look at these signs that clearly verify that the ‘boy’ is …erm…a drama queen.

#1 He’s always whining about something or the other!

It’s really difficult to make him happy. Trying to remember the last time he was extremely content is like a faint memory in your head since he’s always whining about something.

#2 He’s Mr. Sensitivity.

Trying to have a conversation with him? Stop! Check yourself, think about it twice (if it’s a sensitive issue) and then speak.

#3 If you’re at a party, only his music plays.

Hell yeah! Call him stubborn or whatever, but his music is the only sh*t that people are allowed to dance on without pissing him off!

#4 Talking about parties, if he doesn’t wanna go for one – it’s really difficult to convince him.

No means NO! Once he has made up his mind, there’s no way in hell one can change that.

#5 He keeps asking the same question over and over until he gets his desired reply.

You need to speak only his language. Because that’s all he understands. It’s either his way or the highway!

#6 EVERYONE is entitled to his opinion.

Everyone! That includes characters from the movies and TV shows as well!

#7 He has a dance step for every occasion.

Ah! The signature moves, you’d be surprised to know that he has sassy moves for every type of occasion!

#8 He’s always hungry for attention.

Everybody loves attention. But there are a few who need it more than the required threshold. If you don’t give this friend that extra attention, sh*t might just go down!

#9 He’s in on all the gossip around.

He knows everything! All the gossip, be it at work, friend-circle and the home-front!

#10 But in the end, a little drama never killed anybody.

Admit it! He’s one of the warmest, funniest and the greatest friends you have! A person who would make your life difficult from time to time but has his shoulder ready whenever you need it!

Spoilers alert: 5 distressing moments from the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie!

Attention all Avengers fans out there! If you still haven’t had the pleasure to watch the sequel to the ever famous superhero flick, allow us to give you a sneak peek into it! Avengers: Age of Ultron has been a hit at the box offices around the globe and we aren’t surprised. With a few additions to the camaraderie (Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Vision and Falcon), here’s a list of a few distressing moments from the movie that almost broke our hearts! Watch out for the spoilers.

1. Hulk suddenly ‘disappearing’ into the air leaving Black Widow muddled post the war!
After the entire series of flirting and having ‘the talk’ about taking the plunge, Bruce Banner and Natasha Romanoff pretty much convinced the viewers about a happily ever after love-filled ending. But wait whhaaattt-just-happenned? Unfortunately, the blossoming love between them never got its happy ending since Hulk decided to take off (literally) and disappear into the air!

2. Hulk killing hundreds of innocent people
In the movie ‘Code Green’ was sent at the wrong time, at the wrong place and by the wrong person leading to the deaths of insane number of people in a scene at South Africa! Our beloved Tony Stark (Iron Man) did try to stop the green monster from causing destruction but he failed miserably!

Source

3. RIP – Quicksilver
Yes the twins, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who started off with a negative role in the beginning (which seemed legit then) surprisingly ended up joining team Avengers. However, our hearts shattered into pieces when Quicksilver got hit multiple times while trying to save a little boy & Hawk Eye in Sokovia and passed away.

4. Iron Man not being so honest with team Avengers!
Now now, that was wrong. A team that fights together sticks together! Sadly Tony Stark had some other plans! Ultron came to life with the help of this magnificent scientist being oblivious to the fact that there are some things one should never mess with. What made it worse was him trying to convince Bruce Banner to be a part of it! Reminds us of the time when Captain America said – If you try to stop a war before it even begins, a lot of innocent people die!

5. Black Widow’s past life
Some of the darkest moments in Age of Ultron were the flashbacks experienced by Natasha Romanoff. With the ballet practice, the execution and the forced sterilisation, the Black Widow classified herself as a monster (all the more reason to join the Hulk brigade). Let’s hope one monster (Ms. Romanoff) finds the other one (Hulk) to get a happy ending!

Outfit of the Week: Jump it up this summer !

A good jumpsuit is a modern alternative to a gown and looks equally chic with the right accessories and footwear. Jumpsuits can easily be glammed up or dressed down according to the need of the occasion. During the day wear bold prints or vibrant colours to brighten your look with minimum accessories and for the night, wear sequined or embellished cut-out jumpsuits for an alluring look. They are comfortable, stylish and chic enough to wear on even the hottest summer days. This is one trend that’s here to stay and here’s how you should wear it.

Here’s a cab driver telling his side of the story. Uber Chronicles!

Recently we came across this ‘Uber’ interesting thread on the social Q&A website Quora.com. User Suchi Dey shared her experience with an Uber taxi service driver in Calcutta. In the middle of a chat with the driver regarding giving him a 5 star rating for the service experience, Suchi heard a rather heart warming story from him about two female riders which made us think about what the hardworking members of the same industry have to suffer. Here’s an account explaining the driver’s side of the story that we must all know about before getting into a cab the next time.

A couple of days back, I hired an Uber cab to go to a mall in Calcutta to meet some friends. The journey was about 40 minutes long and I was travelling alone. About 20 minutes into my journey, the driver asked me, “Madam, would you mind giving me a 5 star rating for this trip?”
I said, “No, I don’t mind. I will. But why do you ask suddenly?”

He replied with a sad, long face, “Madam, a few days back two lady passengers gave me extremely poor rating, dropping my rating to 2 stars.”
When I asked why, this is what he said..
“At around 11.30 PM, I picked up two lady passengers from Quest mall. They were both extremely drunk. One was falling over the other. They sat in the car and started talking about their personal stuff aloud. They were talking about things that made me uncomfortable as a man. But that was still okay. Then they opened up cans of beer and started smoking too. I warned them.. “unko bola, yeh sab nahi chalega gaadi me” but they did not listen.

At one point, it was enough for me. I asked them to stop immediately or I would call Uber office and get their accounts blocked. Then they got angry and started calling me idiot, stupid and what not. They cursed me in english too. (In his thick Bihari accent it sounded funny to an extent, but I saw him weigh his every single word and it made drop dead sense)

Then I asked him, “what did you do then?”
He said, “I made myself to drop them till their home. I did not want to. But still, I did.”

I’m sure you get the point of the story. That was my taste of a featured interview with an Indian man.

Android trolls Apple yet again! This is how!

These Maggcom illustrations have perfectly nailed it while depicting the advantages of being an Andoid user. A few here are some very cool features and exactly what android users have to say to the iOS lovers. Take a look.
