The Sarcasm Activists

The Sarcasm Activists

So the other day I was sitting in my room, trying to ignore my group’s entreaties to come help them out with our class presentation, and whiling away time by researching random stuff on the Internet. During my excursions, I came across a rather funny video about the FIFA World Cup which was at that moment in full swing. And even though it was about 14 minutes long, it held my attention throughout because it was so hilarious. But once that outburst of mirth had subsided, I found myself deep in thought. Because though the video had been thoroughly entertaining and the content side-splitting, it actually spoke about a couple of very serious issues - the riots happening in Brazil over the hosting of the World Cup and the rampant corruption present in football’s governing body, FIFA. For those of you who haven’t already guessed, I am talking the FIFA and the World Cup episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (see the video here).

Lie or Not Lie : A Controversial Daily Question!

Lie or Not Lie : A Controversial Daily Question!

The very first lesson a small kid is taught by his parents, even before “charity begins at home” is “do not lie”. But how many of us are born Yuthisthira, someone who prided for his vow of not uttering a single untruth word, but still somewhat failed to withhold it at the time of war? So, is it so much necessary that one cannot do without? Or we all have fallen prey to some inescapable peer pressure that it’s the only the feasible option most of the time?

Papa Kehte Hain MBA Karega : The Great Indian Conundrum

After a small introduction, the first question she asks me is – “ Is there any way I can get myself evicted from this college? ”, with an innocent smile on her face. Prima facie, I thought she must be kidding. But that was not to be…

Humanity is lost somewhere between the borders..

Humanity is lost somewhere between the borders..

A plane crashes near Ukraine border on 17th July 2014; all the 280 passengers and 18 crew members lose their lives. Hundreds of families destroyed, tens of innocent children who barely learnt to speak are dead within a fraction of a second. And moments later another news flashing on my TV screen, the Indian media brings to our attention that had the supposed attack been 5 minutes late, an Air India flight would have been crashed instead. And if the attack had happened an hour later, then India might have had lost their dearest Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, because both these flights were to follow the same route as the Malaysian flight. Till this point, I was following the media and their online columns. But suddenly I found something very intriguing in the comments section of these columns.
