We all have witnessed some real cricket in the recently concluded Women's World Cup and unlike Men's Cricket, Women't cricket is much regarded for various reasons which includes the match fixing and betting. Though it shouldn't be compared, I, as a commoner felt that this is what that makes Women's Cricket superior over Men's Cricket. Indian Women's team has not won the World Cup match so far and has been dominated by Australia followed by England and New Zealand. If only India would have on the finals which was splayed yesterday- 23/7/17, it would have been a fitting tribute for the retiring Captain Mithali Raj and terrific bowler Jhulan Goswami. The Women's Cricket team has been in existence for  while now but not much interest was given towards it by our Nation. It was Anjum Chopra who got some attention to the game with her brilliant knocks and captaincy. When Mithali Raj took over, it was a complete turnaround. She went on to bec...

Bigg Boss is a reality show which is been aired by STAR Group . After its initial success abroad where if you could remember how the bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty rose to fame all of a sudden due to racism. The only difference over here is, there is no racism. While there are many theories running around this concept where some brainiacs has effectively pointed out few flaw saying that the entire show is doctored and was shot in 10 days or so, I have no comments. I respect their findings but at the same time, we should enjoy the show in its truest sense and should not look at each and every thing with a suspicion. If we did so, there will be no fun element in entertainment field. There has been thousands of memes being created about the contestants each showing their own support to their favorite stars and the key word BiggBoss Tamil and hashtags #OviyaArmy and #SaveOviya has been trending for so many days which shows how much rage the program has created.

Title - Ananta Sesha Naga : Rise of Demon Prince Author - Sanjeev K Sharma Genre - Fiction Publisher - Story Mirror ISBN - 978-93-86305-52-7 To begin with, I must say that I was completely impressed with the story. I have read hundreds and thousands of stories but this one is unique from all that I have read. This is story about Naagins. Initially I was sceptical as to how would author make it an interesting read and since it was predominantly about Nagas(snakes), I did not get attracted to it but as and when the story started to unfold, I was dumbstruck. I did not realise when I finished the book that the story had 280 pages and I never felt fatigued reading such a big one. There was a quarrel that existed between Demon Sarpas who considered Asuras controlled by Varuna and Devas who was headed by Indra were their main enemies. Though they were from Sarpa family, they also considered Anata Sesha Naga - the Supreme King of all Nagas as their enemy too. The Sarpa Ma...

Marketing is the new hero in the ever-competitive marketing field. Marketing has evolved from Print, Banner, Television and Telephones.  With the advent of the internet, things started taking a different turn. Initially, the internet was expensive and one had to pay for – 1. The telephone for the dial-up and 2. For the service provider. However, with the entry of few telecom service providers, the rates came down to the minimum extent possible making the internet really affordable and cheap. Few companies like Yahoo and Rediff entered this space much earlier and though they survived, they did not evolve with the changes making them cede the market leadership to Google which had a humble beginning but has now grown to be the biggest technology company in the World. Around this time companies started exploring the digital space. Few Social websites entered the online space. Orkut was the first to get into this space and was introduced by none other than Google but since it ...
