The 60’s and 70’s. Do you remember that golden era? The world was craving for a change. This was the time of the biggest musical revolution. Louis Armstrong and Elvis Presley had done their part and it was the dawn of some new musical sensations like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Bob Marley. All these musicians will always be remembered for their unique contribution to the musical industry. But despite their music, these iconoclastic musicians were always surrounded by numerous controversies. Some came into headlines for making bold and inexplicable statements while some tarnished their persona for being involved in drug addiction and sexual assaults. For instance, John Lennon once said during their US tour that in America, The Beatles are even more popular than Jesus. After this statement, The Fab Four had to face a humungous outburst and criticism from all over the world and eventually John had to apologize and retract his s...

Second chance. Who doesn't want a second chance in life? But not everyone gets it. Nobody in this world is perfect. We all make mistakes and we all face the consequences. But sometimes a single action can influence your whole life. It takes a lifetime to build up an image. But a moment's mistake can decimate it in seconds. And that's when we all look for a second chance. A chance to recuperate your mess, a chance to start over. But you can't get everything in life. And you may have to wait all your life to get that one second chance. But if you have strength to withstand the odds then sooner or later, you will get that second chance in your life. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time in a city, there was a guy named Jason. He had a decent job, his own apartment, a car and a beautiful, loving wife. He loved his wife more than anything else and she loved him the same way. The two were living happily together. But bad days always come with...

Your life is like a game of chess Sometimes it's good, sometimes a mess. But why on earth are you sad? You're the one who made it like that. People will always come and go  Like the wind that forever blows.  And all the seasons and all your woes Will be gone as the time flows. But if you're still living in the past  reminiscing the moments that couldn't last. Then it's certain you can't escape  From all this pain and this heartache.  No matter how long you go like that 'Cause if thats you, you're already dead. - Anirudh Bhardwaj

Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason & plot.We see no reason, why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. What was the gunpowder plot? Who was Guy Fawkes? Was he good or bad? What happened on November the 5 th , 1605? Questions like this might have come to your mind. Firsts things first. Lemme tell you what many of you already know that Guy Fawkes was one of those conspirators who tried to kill the King James I of England. Their plan was to blow up the entire parliament house, killing James I along with the others by firing the barrels of gunpowder. The barrels were secretly stored in the extensive catacombs just below the parliament house. It was all to be done on November the 5 th , 1605 which was the day of the grand opening of the parliament house. The plot conspired by Guy Fawkes along with his fellow conspirators was called “The Gunpowder Plot”. Now the question worth asking is, was Guy Fawkes a hero or a villain? Was he goo...

How does it feel to be frozen? How does it feel to be frozen while you’re alive? Have you ever thought of that? What if a man isn’t frozen to death but instead of that he’s frozen alive with all his cells, tissues along with the heart and brain are still working but he’s in comma. Is that even possible? In movies we often see that a man is exposed to some extremely cold conditions or is frozon instantly due to some drowning incident in ice-cold water is brought back to life months or even years later. But the most jolting fact then discovered is that the age of that person is found to be the same as it were back then. No growth whatsoever. There maybe some memory loss for sure due to being in comma for a very long time. But now the question worth asking is that is it really possible or is just a work of fiction. That’s what this article of mine is all about. So let’s move further and let’s relate the stories of some such movies to the reality. If I ask you to tell me about a f...
