  • 6 thoughts that went through our minds while watching the new Game of Thrones season 6 trailer!

    6 thoughts that went through our minds while watching the new Game of Thrones season 6 trailer!

    It’s here! The much-awaited sneak peek of one of our favourite TV shows (EVER) is finally out and we’re just biting our lips with all the anticipation! With the new Game of Thrones season 6 trailer (the red band one) we have a mesh of confusing thoughts in our heads and we need an explanation!

    Most of us have, obviously, already formed an opinion about the trailer, but just hear us out! So here are a few questions (thoughts rather) that went through our heads while watching the trailer repeatedly (like 4 times) and we bet all you GOT fanatics out there can somewhere relate to them. Here goes.

    1. ‘He’s gone’! – Is Jon Snow REALLY DEAD?!?!? That can’t be. And why is he laying there dead all by himself? And what’s Davos Seaworth about to do with Ghost and Snow’s dead body? (Getting goose bumps here)

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.40.43 PM

     

    2. Are they seriously playing a very nice and melodious version of Wicked Gamesin the background? Like it’s a Katherine Heigl movie and she just got dumped, brutally! BTW, if you’re looking for this cover, it’s by James Vincent McMorrow.

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.41.03 PM

     

    3. Where did Lady Melisandre’s voodoo disappear suddenly? Okay, we get it; she didn’t get her great victory (the one she saw in the flames) but is that it? Did all those sacrifices and magical drama through the seasons go down the pothole?

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.41.31 PM

     

    4. Has Daenerys Targaryen lost everything? We mean, just look at her! Poor girl, quite literally. We need some hardcore dragon action NOW! And and and, Will Jorah Mormont ever realise that he has been friend-zoned for life? CTFO, bro!

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.41.47 PM

     

    5. Three cheers for Cersei Lannister! She finally grew some b*lls (it seems). After all those years of suffering and demise, the incestual damsel seems pretty ‘high’ on confidence and well, Jaime being he, again this season.

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.42.09 PM

     

    6. Woah woah woah, who are those two making out at 1:15 in the video? Are those new additions to the Game of Thrones family? It’s kinda hard to make out (for us, not them). LOL.

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.42.44 PM

     

    7. Bran Stark being up, close and personal with a white-walker? What’s that all about? How did they end up in the same battleground! I mean he’s just a kid.

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.43.10 PM

     

    April 24th seems really far ahead and it’s just depressing to think about the long wait. Do let us know if you too got baffled with this trailer in the comments section below!

    We bet every engineer in the country can relate to these engineering stereotypes

    The recently concluded annual fest of the prestigious BITS Pilani College, Goa campus, witnessed a large gathering making it a grand affair. Known by the name ‘Quark’, the fest was held at BITS Pilani’s Goa campus and we happened to encounter a lot of talented minds over the period of 3 days from the various courses of engineering programmes.

    On our conversation with them about engineering stereotypes, here’s everything they had to say. Take a look.

    Here’s how Smriti Irani was showered with love on Twitter after her speech at the Lok Sabha!

    The Union HRD minister of India and also a former famous television personality Smriti Irani made headlines recently and how!

    At her recent episode in the Lok Sabha, Smriti gave verbal slaps to those who gave impractical/nonsensical explanations about the recent events pertaining to the JNU case and incidences that were bound to further corrupt people’s minds unnecessarily. Post her speech, Smriti emerged as the Iron Lady to some and all her fans showered her with their love on Twitter. Here are a few reactions.

  • Here’s exactly how most of us guys feel when we spot a potential crush at a social gathering!

    Here’s exactly how most of us guys feel when we spot a potential crush at a social gathering!

    So here’s the thing, us guys (the single ones mostly) have a tendency to fall in love every now and then. A new hottie around the block is like a forbidden fruit for most of us and we sure know that if we see something that we cannot have, it just makes us want to have it even more!

    Seeing that ideal woman in front of us (who we have no idea about) makes our brain undergo complex thought reactions (well, those aren’t really complex if you think about it) and puts us in a spot where we sometimes feel like a lost puppy.

    These thoughts are mostly confusing and leave us stranded in embarrassing situations. Nevertheless, we never stop trying! For instance, take a look at how most of us guys feel when we spot a potential crush at a social gathering!

    1. Oh f*ck. Look whose here.

    2. Am I looking okay?

    3. Of course not, I mean look at YOU!

    4. God damn, you beautiful creature.

    5. How do I stop looking at you?

    6. And why aren’t you looking at me?

    7. Can’t believe you’re not here with me.

    8. Is it just me being desperate or is this real love?

    9. Oh, it’s definitely love!

    10. Is she single? And ready to mingle?

    11. Or friends with benefits would work too.

    12. I bet she’s amazing in the sack.

    13. Or not. It doesn’t really matter as long as I have her.

    14. I need an excuse to break the ice. WTF!

    15. What do I do? Should I hide myself and run or shall I just walk up and say hi? Argghhhhh….life’s tough.

    16. Decide!

    17. I’d make you the happiest woman on earth and will satisfy ALL your needs (wink wink).

    18. I must find out your name and stalk you on social media (takes phone out)

    19. And now I know everything about you.

    20. Please be straight! Please be straight! You have too many display pictures with women! I mean there’s nothing wrong with being a lesbian but it’ll just end my one chance of being with you.

    21. I bet you smell better than roses!

    21. Marry me? Pretty please?

    22. Wait, who’s that guy with you?

    23. (Stares into the dark abyss) BLANK!

    24. Oh God! This day can’t be real.

    25. I mean c’mon I am much better!

    26. Arrrghhhh.

    27. I’d go say hi to her anyway. That could be her cousin. I mean, they do look strikingly similar now don’t they?

    28. Ah, the way she says hi makes me want to fall in love with her even more.

    29. Yep, definitely the cousin (jumps with joy).

    30. Okay, I’m going to ask her whether she’d like to hang sometime.

    31. Please say yes!

    32. YESSSSS!!!!!!

    33. My life finally has a meaning.

    34. When should I text her?

    35. Or do I just call her?

    36. But what am I going to say?

    * A couple of hours later *

    37. Please pick up. Please pick up.

    38. WHAT! She gave me the wrong number!

    39. Dafuq is this?

    40. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    41. I’ve been deceived.

    42. And heartbroken.

    43. I am never trusting women again.

    * Next Day at another social gathering *

    44. OMG, is she the same girl I had a crush on in college?

    45. Let me go and speak to her.

    Life’s short! Live it while you can! 😉

  • Hey Uber, I need some puppy lovin’. Book a ride and get a pup to me. Pretty please? #UberPuppies

    Hey Uber, I need some puppy lovin’. Book a ride and get a pup to me. Pretty please? #UberPuppies

    The American multinational ride service Uber, is going to deliver puppies in Mumbai on the occasion of ‘Love your pet day’ on 20th February 2016 and we’re nothing but super excited.

     

    This isn’t the first time Uber has done something of this nature. After executing similar campaigns across cities like New York, Vancouver, Cleveland and Chicago on various occasions, Uber is now bringing some puppy lovin’ for Mumbaikars while partnering with the NGO named ‘World for all’.

     

    Uber puppies- Inp img

     

    With the hashtag #Uberpuppies, the ride hiring giant will allow its users to book Indie pups for a 15-minutes playtime in an enclosed space while encouraging its users to experience having a pet and ultimately adopting it. These users can book a pup between 2 PM to 4 PM across the city to have a great time with these tiny furballs. Way to go Uber! We’d like you to do the same in Delhi too.

     

    And before we go, we urge you to consider adopting an Indian dog. Believe us, they too give the same unconditional love and are no different than any other breed! #UberPuppies

     

  • How would you feel if you discovered that your lover was actually your twin?

    How would you feel if you discovered that your lover was actually your twin?

    So it all started about 25 years back when a pair of twins got separated at birth, leading two entirely different lives with different families. Little did the twin brothers know that their destiny, unfortunately, would re-unite them in an extremely peculiar way…….as lovers!

    Jason Osbourne and Alex Brown, a gay couple based in New Jersey, US, recently discovered that they’re long lost twins after two years of their relationship. As shocking as it may sound to us, the lovers reportedly got their DNA test done only to find out why their family and friends thought they were related due to their remarkable resemblance.

     

    Jason and Alex- Inp img2

     

    According to Grazia Netherlands, Jason quoted, “The man I thought to share my life, my soulmate, is actually my twin brother … I do not know whether I should cry or jump for joy” to the local reporters.

     

    Jason and Alex- Inp img1

     

    What’s more – Jason’s partner, Alex, didn’t respond very positively to the news and has now decided to turn ‘straight’ and lead a normal life like everyone else.

    And we say we have big problems in life?

    Please note: The authenticity of this story has been questioned by a few sources. We hope to God, for both of them, that this is not true but looks like it is. Stay tuned for more updates.

  • 10 struggles of a single guy who’s entering into his 30’s!

    10 struggles of a single guy who’s entering into his 30’s!

    So your birthday is around the corner and like every year you’ve got some kickass plans to bring in your special day. Though we understand that with each passing year, your birthday has witnessed a gradual drift towards the non-cray side of life where most of your friends are married (or getting there) and rest of them just not totally up for the fun you’ve planned for your big day.

    We feel you (unless your close friend circle comprises a majority of twenty-something hot-blooded pals).

    But hey! You’re turning 30, you’re single, you have a nice job and goes without saying – you’re fabulous!

    They say age is just a number and in your case, damn they’re right! However, there are a few struggles of a single guy who’s entering into his 30’s those are just unavoidable. That’s something nobody’s going to tell you. So here’s a list (that goes out for most of us single dudes out there).

    You may thank us later.

    1. The wedding galore

    Well it’s true. Social media these days (for people like us) has become a mini wedding/honeymoon album. I mean, where did all those fun party check-in’s disappear? At times like these, tell yourself that you (by far) are the coolest person in your friend’s list and feel proud. And in case you spot a person cooler than you in the list, contact that person and catch-up!

     

    2. Those pesky relatives

    We all have relatives who are annoying as f*ck. That little evil part of your extended family is never up to any good and let’s admit it, they will have their opinions about you (especially about the fact that you’re turning 30 and it’s time for you to settle down). Well, your only escape to such a situation is that you need to be ready with a kickass comeback at all times. If ignoring them doesn’t help, dig into their past roots and come up with something that’ll shut them up forever (evil laugh).

     

    3. Dearth of those ‘cool’ friends

    The coolness quotient in most your friend deteriorates with time. You may (in some cases) realise that they’re not the same when it comes to going out and making it a night to remember. All those clubbing night-out’s that convert into pajama house parties eventually decrease in number the frequency of which is also affected due to family/personal issues. At that moment you realise, why hasn’t this change affected you? We’d suggest that you always have a Plan B handy, which could involve a date with yourself with wine and a nice movie!

     

    4. Talking about cool friends, now you sure know who your REAL friends are

    That’s a part of growing up. As you grow older, you give your ‘close friends’ opportunities to prove themselves over time and let’s face it; most of them do end up disappointing you. It’s not their fault to be honest. With time, everyone’s priorities change and there are some things you just cannot avoid. But there will be a few nice ones that’ll make sure that they’re around no matter what. DO NOT lose them under any circumstances (even if they aren’t oh-so-cool anymore).

     

    5. The ‘forever alone’ hangouts with friends AND their SO’s

    Imagine this: you’ve been invited over for dinner by your best friend and his wife. You show up and bam! You’re the only single guy at the table. All you have around you are couples narrating their annoying stories (which you’ve heard like 50 million times) and the worst part is – everybody’s drinking real slowly! A million dollar advice here for you my man – get drunk! Don’t bother who is judging you. Just make sure that you end up having a good time while making others laugh at your jokes. Be the star of the night!

     

    6. The perpetual third-wheeler

    Again, every time you make a nice plan with one of your friends, while making it absolutely clear that ITS HIM ONLY who you want to meet, his plus one shows up. EVERYTIME! It’s like a package deal that comes with each one of your friends. Next thing you know, you’re the friggin third-wheeler there. Well, that’s something that cannot be avoided at any cost. You can’t simply tell your friends that you don’t want to hang out with their girlfriends, now can you?

     

    7. Your inability to party hard like the early 20’s

    You’re almost 30 and you’ve come to an agreement with yourself that drinking like the early 20’s isn’t something you can afford anymore. Your hangovers hit you harder and your body becomes more sensitive to alcohol’s effects. But…but…but…don’t let that affect you. Yes, you may go slow and reduce its consumption as long as you reach that happy state! Well, think about it like this – you spend lesser money on alcohol now to reach that happy high unlike your early 20’s.

     

    8. The fear of actually dying alone coming true

    That’s debatable! Some of us are just fine with life the way it is. On the other hand some of us get carried away by stupid norms and stereotypes of the society where everyone tells you to get married before it’s too late. Believe us, it is NEVER too late to find a partner! So, chuck that fear of dying alone out of your head unless you really want to (see a doctor if you do, we’d suggest).

     

    9. Hanging out with your other friends who’ve already made ‘other human beings’

    Yeah yeah, we all have friends who got married in their early 20’s and are now raising their families while producing other human beings like it’s no one’s business. Clearly it isn’t our business either but to hangout with them and their tiny ones like all the time can get just a tad bit annoying. Like hello? How about some adult quality-beer-happening time together? There are baby sitters in this world you know!

     

    10. The moment you realise you’re no longer in your 20’s !

    So what?!? You’re life isn’t over. You just grew a year older. Just tell yourself this – ‘It took you 30 awesome years to look this good, damn you!’. Compare yourself with your other pals you grew up around (we know that’s bad advice) but at the end of the day, whatever sails your boat me friend! Whatever sails your boat!

     

    So, those were the 10 struggles of a single guy who’s entering into his 30’s! If you are one of them, we are with you. Happy Birthday and we hope you make it so big that turning 30 doesn't seem like a struggle to you anymore!

  • Five most annoying celebrity couples

    Five most annoying celebrity couples

    Do you like getting an insight of your favourite celebrities’ lives? We are sure most of you do, but too much of anything will make you sick. Be it the same track playing repetitively on every other radio station or the media updating you about the same old celebrity couples leaving you queasy and absolutely annoyed. Here’s our list of five most annoying celebrity couples.

     

    1) Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh

    Ranveer Singh goes on a shopping trip with Deepika’s family, flies down to Bengaluru from Malaysia just to get a glimpse of Deepika and the two still call themselves single. Doesn’t this bear enough proof about their relationship? It’s high time they decide upon their relationship status and shed off the tag of being a rumoured couple.

    2) Kanye West and Kim Kardashian

    You can hate them, you can love them but you can’t ignore them. This couple will keep annoying you with their ego clashes. Watch Bound 2 and you will experience the Kardashian-West effect once again.

    3) Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

    Isn’t it hideous seeing Johnny Depp cut ties with his wife for Amber Heard who is supposedly 23 years younger than him? Both of them could have done so much better.

    4) Taylor swift and all her ex-lovers

    Taylor swift has had a long list of ex-lovers and to our surprise all her relationships start with a bang and end with a whimper. However, we can only hope for her to find her soul mate so the social media posts STOP for good.

    5) Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor

    Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor’s relationship got annoying just as they started seeing each other as the two were spotted more on the media for their romance and less on the screens. Now denying a Bollywood relationship is very obvious but kissing on the balcony and then acting coy. NOT DONE!

  • Netflix India: Is our country really ready for Netflix?

    Netflix India: Is our country really ready for Netflix?

    The US-based video streaming company Netflix launched its operations recently in India and we couldn’t be more excited!

    Starting at Rs. 500 per month, Netflix India has framed its packages very similar to their American plans. Reportedly, Netflix India is also looking forward to getting on board with more Indian partners to diversify their collection for the Indian market; adding more Bollywood movies in their database.

    Netflix in India-Inp img

    But, what caught our attention in this whole Netflix India outburst were a few points that were directed to only one question: Is India really ready for Netflix?

    Here’s why.

    #1. Minus the metro cities in India, do tier II & tier III cites have enough bandwidth to stream HD TV shows and movies in their homes?

    #2. Will the online piracy affect Netflix India’s operations? There are several websites that are already offering free online streaming of shows/movies (so we’ve heard).

    #3. The fact that Netflix India is still in the process of tying up with its Indian partners, do we really have a large target audience that follows American TV series/movies?

    Though, everything aside, we’re going to sign up with Netflix India right about now. We think it’s one of the coolest New Year presents we’ve received in 2016 so far! Thank you, Netflix.

  • After the lesbians, gay men touch boobs for the first time and you have to see what happens!

    After the lesbians, gay men touch boobs for the first time and you have to see what happens!

    We all saw YouTubers BriaAndChrissy’s video where three lesbians touch a guy’s penis for the first time. Well well, that didn’t quite go how we expected it to, but it was great to see their reactions with all the nervousness.

    Here’s another one.

    That’s right, in this video by BriaAndChrissy, the YouTubers tested waters in the same territory just with an opposite approach. To be clearer, the duo made three gay men touch Bria’s boobs capturing their reactions (since that was a first for all three of them).

     

     

    Believe us, it’s just as hilarious as their previous video and we’re going to take some time to get over it. Also, the thing to be noted here is the fact that even these gay men appreciated the female body in the perfect way.

    Take a look.

    The best place to randomly spot a Bollywood celebrity is none other than the Mumbai airport. That’s right, with their tight work/holiday schedules; these Bollywood celebs are often spotted getting out from their swanky cars at the airport while making heads turn! 

    Let’s take a quick look at the last week’s appearances. These include big names like Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli, Farhan Akhtar, Bobby Deol (we bet you’d like to see him) and Dia Mirza.

  • And the most annoying ad of 2015 award goes to…      

    And the most annoying ad of 2015 award goes to…      

    It’s safe to assume that today almost every Indian urban household has a television set; some in fact have more than one. While television sets were meant for catching up with our favourite series, news, movies, music and much more; what came along as an unnecessary addition were the advertisements also popularly known as Television Commercials (TVCs).

    There are advertisements that really grab our undivided attention (remember Seagram’s men will be men series of TVCs?). And there are some that just make us cringe and think why they exist in the first place. They are those ads that have the right mixture of everything wrong; the wrong music, the wrong idea and the wrong message. Here are five​ such ads from 2015 that usually make us press the mute button faster than a rat chases cheese.

    #1 Snickers ad featuring Sonam Kapoor

    We understand the tag line ‘Hunger achhe achhon ko badal deta hai’, it isn’t just right on point but also something that people experience on a daily basis. However, turning into a “heroine” when someone is hungry is plain silly. Did you know that ad is actually only 30 seconds in duration? Always thought it was much longer!

    #2 Airtel 4G challenge ad and all their related ads

    Sasha Chettri (the lead actor) might have made it big with the Airtel 4G ads series but the ad itself is just annoying. First, no one takes a 4G challenge against another connection that is clearly not 4G. Second, do people seriously root for parties in these supposed challenges? Moreover, we still can’t get over what they did to A.R. Rahman’s iconic Airtel ringtone in these series of ads.

    #3 Idea share the Internet

    Giving competition to Airtel in the most annoying ad of 2015 category is Idea. “India Share Karega… India Care Karega…” is fine but are we actually serious about sharing 100 MB Internet to help Ram’s kid with his Science project? And for all the other things that are showed in that ad. How much can we actually help someone with mobile Internet anyway?

    #4 Mentos TVC – TV vs Padhai

    Mentos came up with this genius #DimaagKiBatti way of asking your mom to let you watch TV while studying. All you need to do is make her have some Mentos! *slow clapping*. While we don’t think this idea really works for moms or for anyone, what it does is make your ad land a spot on the most annoying ads of 2015.

    #5 Amazon’s kya pehnu ad

    It’s amazing that Amazon has clothes, and that they are offering “har confusion ka stylish solution” but do we really have to listen to someone talking about how their wardrobe has only “minis” when they need clothes for a wedding? And THAT jingle, change it already!

    Do you have your pick of the most annoying ad of 2015? Do let us know in the comments section below.

  • Top Twitter trends of 2015 and what they were all about!

    Top Twitter trends of 2015 and what they were all about!

    There’s a lot that happened in 2015 across the globe. Some events were so unfortunate that they ended up harming the lives of many and some made us feel grateful about the fact that the world is just a small community of people who are constantly on a look out for each other.

    The common thread between the events is that they brought people together, not just from different cities but from many nations and all we have to thank is the power of social media and hashtags.

    Let us now take a recap into the year and the top Twitter trends of 2015 that caught the attention of the Indian audience and what they were all about.

    1. #JeSuisCharlie

    Je Suis Charlie, the French phrase for ‘I am Charlie’ was an unfortunate event that took place in early January 2015 in Paris and the world is still recovering from it. The mishap involved a massacre of twelve people at the French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo’s offices.

    2. #AIBRoast

    Talking about roasts, All India Bakchod released their roast on Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor in late January 2015 and boy, it was big (no pun intended). With Karan Johar as the roast master, the AIB knockout garnered innumerable views on YouTube before it got involved into many controversies and was eventually taken down from the site. For those who didn’t get an opportunity to watch it, you have no idea what you’ve missed.

    3. #TheDress

    A dress photo that went viral in February 2015 with over ten million tweets gave us sleepless nights all because of its colours that varied from one eye to another. ‘The dress’ divided the people of the world into two halves, with the first half seeing its colours as white & gold and the other half of the human population perceiving it to be as black & blue. The real colours of the dress are still a mystery to us and we’d be happy to be a part of the much-awaited reality.

    5. #DadBod

    Gone are the days when women used to drool over ripped men with abs and a balanced diet. Spending all those hours at the gym while checking out every chiseled muscle in front of the mirror is just passé. What’s new is the DadBod, appreciation for those extra kilos, which started trending with the hashtag #Dadbod. It was an Internet sensation where women expressed their love for flabby men. The point here to be noted here is that dadbod is NOT about fat men, it’s about those guys who perhaps were really fit once and have been taking it easy for a bit. Afterall, those few slices of pizza with beer never killed anybody!

    6. #LoveWins

    American Supreme court’s ruling on marriage equality gave the world a new hope and a beautiful reason to celebrate. The hashtag ‘Lovewins’ was a part of millions of tweets across America and around the world. The best part about the social media outburst was the fact that (reportedly) Twitter too added a small rainbow heart next to #LoveWins with every user’s tweet.

    8. #IStandWithAhmed

    Ahmed Mohamed is a 14-year-old kid from Texas who built a clock from a pencil case so he could impress his teachers. Little did he know that there was massive trouble coming his way when the teachers called the cops on him. The authorities at the Irving High School thought that the 14 year-old made a ‘hoax bomb’ and got it to school. Ahmed was handcuffed and taken to the police station where he was denied the right to make a call to his parents and was questioned without his attorney’s presence. The issue got so out of control that some big, we mean, BIG names came to Ahmed’s rescue. President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg amongst others made a genuine effort for his case!

    10. #PrayForParis

    The evening of 13th November will always be remembered as one of the most dreaded days of 2015. The series of coordinated terrorist attacks that took place in France did not just include hostage-taking but mass shootings and suicide bombings as well. Many innocent people suffered the darkness of terrorism for reasons everyone is trying to fathom. People were killed, faith was shattered and around midnight emerged the ‘Peace For Paris’ symbol sending out a strong message to the heartless that the world is united and will fight back.
