Congratulations to our sportspersons P V Sindhu and Sakshi Malik on their medals and bringing laurels to the country.

"It is all about timing!" The protagonist Chesley Sullenberger says in the movie 'Sully'.Captain Sullenberger (known as Sully) landed the US Airways flight 1549 on river Hudson in New York when the plane got hit by birds after taking off from La Guardia airport on January 15, 2009.

This potion cannot be penetrated by hand, vanished, parted, scooped up, or siphoned away, nor can it be Transfigured, Charmed, or otherwise made to change its nature. I can only conclude this potion is supposed to be drunk."- Harry and Dumbledore discuss the potion guarding...

Festivals bring friends and families together and get-togethers lead to discussions. One favorite topic of discussion is the current state of affairs of the Indian polity and the Nation. Recently, I had one such interesting discussion with a friend of mine. We both passionately debated what is wrong with the current situation - rising oil prices, tax burden, poor infrastructure, demonetization, corruption, inept politicians and insensitive administration. We had a good idea about the fixes and were...
