I belong to the generation who, while growing up, treated the word internet as something divinely unattainable.

I remember, while doing my Masters, someone pointed a guy to me in college and whispered in my ears that he had an … Continue reading »

Its about those inconsiderate, tactless and thoughtless people who perform the most disgusting acts in public(and at home too!!!) and don’t feel the S of Shame. Infact, the insensitivity is so deep rooted that they don’t … Continue reading »
