  • “How dare you refer to my beautiful children as synthetic” – Sir Elton John boycotts fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana

    “How dare you refer to my beautiful children as synthetic” – Sir Elton John boycotts fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana

    British singer-songwriter Sir Elton John expressed his outrage towards the fashion brand ‘Dolce & Gabbana’ last Sunday for making remarks against same-sex marriage and gay adoptions in an interview with the Italian fashion magazine ‘Panorama’.

    Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbano, the founder-duo of the famous Italian brand quoted that the children who aren’t born into traditional families are “children of chemistry”. Here’s what they stated in the 12th March, 2015 issue of the Italian magazine ‘Panorama’ – “We oppose gay adoptions. The only family is the traditional one. No chemical offsprings and rented uterus: life has a natural flow; there are things that should not be changed.” 

    dolce-gabbana-elton-john.4

    To which the furious songwriter/legend responded by saying “How dare you refer to my beautiful children as “synthetic.” And shame on you for wagging your judgmental little fingers at IVF — a miracle that has allowed legions of loving people, both straight and gay, to fulfill their dream of having children.

    Here’s a screen shot of Sir Elton John’s Instagram from last week that further elucidates his anger and his decision to boycott Dolce & Gabbana with the hashtag #BoycottDolceGabbana.

    The only thing that baffles us is the fact that the duo once appeared in a 2005 edition of ‘Vanity Fair’ magazine posing for a ‘Family photograph’ with kids.

  • 7 illustrations that tell you why startups are the coolest places to work at!

    7 illustrations that tell you why startups are the coolest places to work at!

    We understand that a multinational corporate pays a lot more than a startup, particularly to freshers, and the swanky job also comes with a lot of cushy benefits. Working at a startup probably means that you work with a small team… most likely just a handful of people. That BTW has its own benefits, especially for the creative junkies out there. Don’t believe us? Take a look at these seven illustrations by the WittyFeed below to see why startups are the coolest places to start your career at. 

    1) We have ‘No-shave November’ almost every month. You really do not need a haircut or need to shave everyday if you work at a startup. We just care about the work and also we are used to you looking like this.

    1

    2) On-the-job-sleeping, beanbags and comfy sofas is what a startup offers as cushy benefits. There is everything you need to rest your bum on after lunch and work. And yes if you sleep, there will be a bunch of pictures haunting your social networks. Did we mention funny pictures?

    2
    3) Formals?!? – Just wear whatever you want, from sneakers to slippers. Formals are only needed when there is a rare meeting with the outside world. So feel free to shop and fill your wardrobes with the coolest, most colourful clothes, because everything is just… well… cool!

    3
    4) Team meetings are referred to as group chats. We don’t believe in sitting formally on the table and discussing plans. Meetings start with a casual discussion on the sofa with a cup of coffee and end pretty much the same way.

    4


    5) Nocturnal forever! When everyone is heading home in the evening, we get up and go to work. Flexible work timings and a lot of ‘work from home’ days is just what startups are all about.

    5

    6) We are loud and very proud. Play some music, converse across the table, work, sleep, repeat.

    PS – Parties are not a daily affair, but when we do have one, people envy us. If you know what we mean!

    6

    7) Skills over Degrees. Startups look for people who have skills and are creative. Degrees always do not come handy when you want to move out and explore life. So, if you are creative and want to really utilise your innate talents while having some fun, go and join a startup today.

  • “Sorry, Rape was my fault” – The Bad Girl

    “Sorry, Rape was my fault” – The Bad Girl

    Unfortunately our society has started classifying ‘Rape’ as a shameful act instead of completely condemning it. ‘India’s daughter’ the much-talked-about documentary produced by BBC, gave a clear insight in to what happened on that dark night of 16th December, 2012 with Jyoti Singh, a victim of the most brutal gang rape. The documentary did not only shock us with the remorseless attitude of Mukesh Singh, one of the main accused, but also highlighted the unforgivably patriarchal attitude of the defense lawyers.

    Following the previous series of pictures designed by the students of Srishti College of Art, Design and Technology as a part of their project titled, “Bad Girl” is another depiction based on the original theme created by the folks at The Quint

    This is an open letter to the ‘Rapist Association of India’ that comprises ignorant and oblivious sons, brothers & fathers in the nation, in response to the comments that our not-so-beloved ‘Mukesh Singh ji’ made on ‘India’s Daughter’.
