What’s special of this Queen which turns 86 today?

Today marks the 86th birthday of the first super-fast train of India, the Deccan Queen. Being one of the longest running trains in India, this lady is in no mood to budge and has been running head strong from Pune to Mumbai and back to the pavilion. Having been started to bridge the gap between Pune and Mumbai, this train is the second home for those commuters who travel this long distance daily. Well, there is something special about this train which has never run on steam power, that people book tickets a day or two in advance to embrace its journey.

Out of curiosity, one day I checked out the train timing and thought not for a second and boarded the train from Pune. After helping myself with a ticket, amidst that long queue, I finally found some life by the time I realized I was standing first in the queue to board one of the bogies of the train. Like a boss, I entered the train and managed to get a seat near the window. But, my happiness was short-lived as one man asked me to get up as it was his seat. Like a puzzled and angry kid, I stared at him for a second, until the other passengers told that he is a privileged commuter. Puzzled, I had no option but to get up. Later, as the train left the station, one guy standing next to me explained me, post which, I realized that the people who have been traveling for years are the privileged ones and deserve every benefit first.

Having made-up my mind to travel the route standing, I stood like that great wall of China amidst that silent chatter, where you could only hear voices of paper and mobile phones as people were immersed in their laptops and newspapers. Feeling depressed by that dead silence, I regretted my decision to travel by this train, until that smell reached my nose. It was the smell of coffee, tea and a delicious breakfast that freshened my mood. The staff there was offering a stomach-filling breakfast. But, here also, being privileged member mattered as they were given first priority over the newbies. And we were for the sake of formality, asked while the waiters were almost departing. But, I finally helped myself with a cup of coffee by asking the waiter for one.

The cup of coffee was the much needed revamp for me and trust me it was tasty and hot. Also, sipping some coffee amidst those passing by ghats, was a mesmerizing experience. Standing near the door, I could sense the freshness in the air as the train moved faster towards CST.

During my return journey, when I boarded the Deccan Queen, I was surprised to see the transition in the atmosphere. The dead silence of morning was replaced by a chatter of people, who were immersed in their laptops in the morning. Every coach had a different story or discussion. Some were humming songs, while some were playing cards and ludo. The man sitting next to me was telling about his 40-year long journey as a dedicated Deccan Queen traveler and the changes he had witnessed in his long journey. Now, I was getting close to the reason of what made this train so special for their travelers, who considered it as an important part of their life.

Now, as the train’s reverse journey continued, it was food time again. Tell you something, the dining car is the gem of this train. It serves a lot of different simple delicious food like toasts, omelets, pizzas etc., and guess what, it is served hot and in clean cutlery. The travelers choose to eat in the dining car because of the variety available at affordable rates and this arrangement resembles the British style. I had heard till now, but today witnessed people traveling till Karjat only for the food served here. The hygiene, maintenance and pantry of the train are an inspiration for other trains to elevate their hygiene quotient. For its extreme hygiene and quality of service, this train has received the ISO certification, which is received by only two trains, the other being

Throughout the journey, I realized, the Deccan Queen is a habit for its regular travelers and their second home. Also, in the train, I witnessed many friendships that are still going strong after years. The bond they share is priceless.

Thus, as the train reached Pune at 8:30 pm, I could hear goodbyes of people, who were heading towards their homes only to come back tomorrow. I could feel the emotion and connect the train paved to among its commuters. Also, I realized that had I got to travel daily by the Deccan Queen, then I would have been lucky to be a part of the family and witness every emotion and fun as well the transition from newbie to a privileged commuter.

Thus, as this train turns 86 today, we hope the Deccan Queen runs for ages to come and making bonds firm during its journey. Happy Birthday Queen! Definitely, one of it's kind.

The hidden face of Brazil!

With the video of a 16-year-old girl being raped by about 30-33 men shared on twitter, a wave of rage has erupted all across the world.

The video that showed the teen lying down in an unconscious state with four men boasting of the ordeal and also taking selfies with the bare girl has been condemned worldwide. The girl had reportedly gone to her boyfriend's place in the Sao Joao shantytown on the west side of Rio de Janeiro, but woke up in other house on Sunday, surrounded by 30 men or more. The incident that occurred in a Rio de Janeiro slum, during the weekend, has received a worldwide backlash. This incident thus, has brought to the fore the violence and sexual assaults that occur in one of the biggest South American countries.

But, besides the ordeal, the criticism the girl received from some who not only liked the video and pictures but also posted smileys. Some also went over the board and criticized the character of the girl. This again brings forth the old saying that the girl was wearing short clothes and was raped because she was drunk and available. The girl, who is shattered by the incident, also told of how she was blamed for everything that had happened. But, one question that pops into my head is that if she was not drunk and was wearing decent clothes, then would they leave her and not rape? Can anyone take guarantee of this? No, right, then how can she be blamed for her painful ordeal, when she didn’t even know what her boyfriend had planned for her. Why then such a misogyny? “I want people to know that it is not the woman’s fault. You can’t blame a robbery victim, for being robbed. I want them to await the justice of God. I feel like trash,” said the girl to a leading portal, while gathering some courage. Yes, they will get their share and we all are with you.

If glimpsed through the stats of rape and sexual assaults in Brazil, one could be shocked by the alarming rate at which women there are subjected to violence and assault. With about 6,029 rapes committed in Brazil in 2012, 4,993 were with women only. Added fuel to the fire is that not all assault cases are reported and many women fear coming out in open about the issue. Drugs and guns are famous in Brazil and are responsible for most of the sexual assaults in the 27 state country having a population of 200 million. But, the revamping of law has encouraged women to come ahead and bring to light these issues. However, this doesn’t assure the guilty will be punished. Hence, it’s high time to talk about these issues and being open about the rape culture will only help us to fight it back.

The rape has rocked Brazil, especially Rio, which is the current venue for Summer Olympics slated to occur in August this year. This can be a reason for the initial neglect of the government and police, of the brutal rape. The government was actually trying to hide the negative impact this incident would have on the athletes and tourists who will grace the event. The reports also suggest that about 20% of the budget reserved for the security and police by Brazil, has been utilized on the development and maintenance of Olympic venues, thus compromising both the development of the nation as well as the safety of women. But, thanks to the cry of the commoners, there is a worldwide support and the matter has been taken into account at the fast track rate.

Thus, we hope the protests turns out to be a revolution to aid the unsafe life of women in Brazil leading to an awakening that may change the face of Brazil in the near future. Yes, it is not 30 against one, but 30 against us.

When humour rubbed the wrong way!

The angry lash out at AIB fame Tanmay Bhat, has once again raised the question if we Indians have become intolerant to humour? Now when Tanmay made that face swap video on snap chat, less he knew that it would be taken in the wrong strand by both Bollywood and twitter. Well, ok he did poke fun at the god of cricket ‘Sachin Tendulkar’ and singing legend ‘Lata Mangeshkar’, but was it that demeaning that people started lashing out at him Now, when twitter trolled him, it could be understood but when the B’town also took his class, it was shocking and I wondered if Lata di was ever offended by this snap chat video? Well, this is not the first instance when humour has evoked anger. Below is a list of a few, whose jokes had rubbed the wrong way.

Shahrukh Khan irked Manoj Kumar

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan had once landed in the soup for making fun of veteran actor Manoj Kumar, who did not receive it well. Actually, against SRK's 2007 hit, Om Shanti Om, Manoj Kumar filed a plea to delete some scenes from the film, but it didn’t happen and on the contrary, the film was released in 2013 in Japan with all the scenes intact. This made Manoj Kumar lose his cool and file a case against Shah Rukh. Well, the scenes actually showed the famous signature style of Manoj Kumar in a humorous way and had nothing to hurt his self-respect as he said, "I don't have any personal clash with Shah Rukh Khan. He is a nice person, but when it comes to my self-respect, then I can't compromise on it."

Kiku Sharda’s arrest

It all started with Kiku Sharda mimicking Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan during the last week of the show Comedy Nights with Kapil. Kiku, who played the role of Palak in the show, was arrested and detained for mimicking. The followers of the Dera Sacha Sauda leader were angry with Kiku for making mimicry of their Godman. With an initial custody of 14 days and the then granted bail, Kiku was again arrested for his behaviour and another case was filed against him. Well, even we mimic our favourite actors among friends. There are so many trolls of actors and politicians, then what big deal was a mimicry man?

Kapil Sharma angered the nurses

Kiku’s companion and famous comedian of the country Kapil Sharma is not foreign to such a criticism. On his new show, Kapil recently made fun of the nurses and their profession. He also passed derogatory remarks against them. Well, said in a humorous way, this act of his, attracted protest from the nurses of government Guru Nanak Dev Hospital. They not only staged a protest against stand-up comedian and actor Kapil Sharma for depicting nursing profession in a bad light but also submitted a written complaint to the police station. Ok, Kapil might have thrown his humorous googlies, but was it really putting the nursing profession in a bad light? Or it actually depicted the bad side of the profession? Whatever it may be, but Kapil how dare you do that in a democratic and secular country of ours?

Infamous AIB roast

Now, who doesn’t know that infamously hilarious AIB Roast of Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor, which also comprised of Tanmay Bhatt apart from his AIB squad and Karan Johar. The show that broke the internet wasn’t received well by all. While the censor board criticised it for vulgarity, Aamir Khan also strongly condemned it. Also, Pune police had lodged an FIR against 14 people, including Ranveer, Arjun, KJo and the AIB team. Added fuel to the fire was MNS, who ordered for an apology. Well, if you ask me, the show was full of slangs and was an abusive ride. But, that what we call a roast and it is famous in the West, then why don’t we Indians take humour lightly?

Aseem Trivedi had to face sedition charges

The famous political cartoonist had to taste the charges of sedition for his cartoon, which he had displayed during the Anna Hazare protest in the Bandra-Kurla complex (BKC) in November 2011. Known for voicing his protest against the corrupt politicians through his humorous cartoons, Aseem’s cartoon depicted cartoons showed the Parliament as a commode and the National Emblem with wolves instead of lions. Somewhere his cartoon depicted the truth of Indian politics but didn’t go well with Amit Katarnayea, a legal advisor for a Mumbai-based NGO. Based on his complaint, Trivedi was charged with sedition. The cartoonist, who stood headstrong and had no regrets had told the court, I do not even remember on which sketches of mine the police have arrested me. The police have arrested me for expressing my anger against the government. And if I am an accused by expressing my views, then yes in that case I prefer to be behind bars than to enjoy my freedom in this way." Well, his statement makes sense as being a part of a democratic country, we have the right to have an opinion as well as express anger or humour. Trivedi was charged with sedition under Section 124 (A) of the Indian Penal Code. The cartoonist was also charged under the IT Act and the 1971 National Emblem Act.

Humour is a part of freedom of expression and as a democracy, we have a right to voice our opinions. Also, jokes are a means of entertainment then why do we Indians get emotional and outrage over it? I feel Rahul Gandhi is the most democratic person then, as he never gets angry and is trolled every now and then. These people should take lessons from him.

What’s on your plate this Sunday?

Done with the hangover of last night? It’s Sunday again, a day to take an off from the fast pace of the mundane chores. So what’s on your plate then? Well, we can understand, after that hectic week and the then Saturday night party, one could hardly gather some courage to party again and rather prefer a lazy Sunday. But, if in the middle of the day, a friend tells about his outing plans or you come across a Facebook check-in of your friends spending some fun time at a restaurant or an event, dam I’m sure it would envy you. Hence, in spite of not having life to go out and party, you would regret for not getting out. Well, no need to worry, as we have some cool ideas that will motivate you to spend your Sunday without compensating for that much needed rest. Do check them out and make your Sunday a fun day!

No waking up until it’s 12 P.M

After that long tiresome week, you need a break to recharge your battery. So the first thing to do this Sunday is to rest maximum. Don’t get out of the bed until the clock strikes 12 P.M. Switch off those alarms, phone goes silent and sleeping tight is your next mantra. Nobody is going to judge you so shut that nagging voice inside your head and don’t feel guilty as you seek solace in hibernation. Dude you have the official permission to be a lazy ass. But, don’t overdo and get up at least by 12 to prevent that boredom.

Find solace in some me time

Now, after you wake up, you will be fresh and geared for the day. But, just don’t put on the clothes and rush for some outing. Rather indulge into some me time and pamper yourself. Visit that one part of your home called ‘kitchen’ and make some coffee or tea and cook something. Now, we are not suggesting you to make a complete meal, but help yourself with some cuisine of your choice. Brush those cooking skills and don’t worry as internet is there to help. Once you have managed to make something worth taking a bite from, pat yourself and shout like Yeah! I just nailed it. Now sit down and cherish it as you sip some coffee. Don’t forget to post a selfie, with the mention of your achievement, on facebook and instagram. Let your friends know that you are having no less fun on Sunday.

Detox when at home itself

Well, there are many options to detox and pamper your soul. But, its weekend and you gotta save those last remains of your salary, until your next payment arrives. Ya, I know how it feels to see that friend of yours, boasting of visiting a famous spa in the city. But, why not do something different and soothe yourself when at home rather. Start with some meditation; try those yoga moves or push-ups. Now, time to take care of your body. A home-made facial is cool. Wait, don’t fret, as it won’t take much of your time. Squeeze some papaya or mix our famous turmeric with rose water. Apply either of it on your face and lay back as you enjoy that music playing in background. Next, go for a steam bath and shampoo, after oiling that hair of yours. Trust me after that shower, your soul will be rejuvenated and to give a final touch, put on your favorite clothes and get ready to hit the street.

What’s playing this weekend?

It’s time to go out now. Well, going on a movie is a common thing and it will also glitch you in that theatre for three hours when you can go unconventional. Why not go for some event that is the coolest thing in town or explore some exhibition. Don’t forget to carry that DSLR of yours and indulge into some photography as you surf through your city. Well, if you don’t have a DSLR its fine when you have a Smartphone. Go on a snapping spree and capture those moments of yours.

Shopping and dinner

Some time to shop. Since, it’s a month end, I would prefer to go for some street shopping. Buy that is in trend or that shirt you had an eye on for long. But, don’t forget to keep an eye on your wallet. When done with that shopping, it’s time to fill your stomach. Choose the nearest outlet and gulp that favorite food of yours like a gourmet. You can also opt for some food festival. if any, in town.

End on a serene note

Finally, you had a great Sunday. But all that starts on a positive note must also end on the same. But, we suggest you to end on a serene note. Now after that full dinner, why not take a long walk or a drive to the outskirts of the city and breathe some air. Sit down on a bench in that garden or enjoy those waves if having a sea or lake nearby. Soak into some serenity and instill some peace as you sit while watching the sky full of stars.

Thus, as you reach home, I’m sure all your stress will be melted. You will have a smile of satisfaction that you had fun on this Sunday. Lastly, don’t forget to boast of that day on social media before you jump into the blanket to start the next week all fresh. So what’s stopping you? Rush and have a fun wala Sunday. Enjoy!

Slip! Slop! Slap!...and Wrap, but don't fry!

Oye! It’s Friday, but today we are refraining from the old tradition and calling it don’t fry day. Well, I know you may think that we are talking about weight loss and cutting on oily food. But, this day, which is celebrated in the USA every year on a Friday prior to the Memorial Day, bears no connection to diet control and is a day dedicated to skin cancer prevention. Being an initiative of the national council on skin cancer prevention, this day encourages people to say no to the deadly sun rays and adopt ways to take solace from the sunshine. But wait, we aren’t bombarding you with those routine tips of wearing a sunscreen, carrying a hat or a scarf, etc., but giving you some cool tips to take a break from some sunshine. So, why not dive into the party mode at home itself. What about a beach party at your personal pad? Sounds cool na? Then follow some cool ideas of ours to transform your home into a not so sunny beach and go partying.

Give the feel of a beach

Well, since the theme is a beach party, dressing your house in the guise of a beach is a must and don’t worry as it is quite simple. Firstly ensure you have brought enough sand. Then empty cartons and make square containers with fencing on all four sides. Make as many as you want, but place at least six-to-eight square boxes together and then add sand to it. Well, your mini beach is ready now. You can also keep one box filled with sand each, at the corners of your house and add decoratives like shells, artificial starfishes, crabs etc. You can also keep flower or plant pots on them.

The decorations to make

Now, you can cut out or paint and stick colourful posters all over the walls of your home, that have the beach, the sun, coconut trees, drinks, food and other bohemian paintings. Use the colours that are bright yet pleasant. Make cardboard cut-outs of coconut trees and place it in the sand and surround it with coconuts. Use foldable armchairs as beach chairs and keep them assembled in a row. Then place a beach umbrella near each chair. Your beach beds are ready. Don’t forget to keep towels there. Also, keep bananas, coconuts and other fruits at every corner, either in bowls or in the sand. Your home has almost transformed into a beach.

The artificial sea

Well, since it is a beach party, you and your guest must feel like that you are on a beach for which a sea is a must. Now, you can’t bring the sea home, but an artificial one is a cool idea. So pump up the inflatable pools with air to give the feel of a sea. Ensure that you keep one big inflatable pool in the main party area and keep one or two small pools at wherever it is feasible. Surround them with sand, shells, and water floaters. Also, put a small water boat in the big pool along with water balls, floaters etc. Also, add shells, artificial fishes to the pools.

The food to feast one

Now, make a buffet arrangement for the cuisine by placing a long table at a corner say near the big pool. Make an arrangement for barbeque and give the feel of barbeque chicken by placing it in the sticks on the barbeque deck. Add other beach delicacies like plates of fruits, fried chicken and other meat, deep fried meatballs, prawn and fish dishes. Ensure the food is a more starter-like and not heavy as we just need it while drinking like crazy and not puke by having the main course. Also, keep desserts and other beach varieties to feast on. Lastly, keep these in bulk as it should suffice the stomachs of your guest.

Don’t forget those drinks

Well, a party without drinks is like food without salt as it is a mandatory rule that you ain’t partying if you don’t booze. So bring boxes of beers and fill those big mugs with them. Make an orange juice, keep coconut water, pina colada, lots of lemon drinks etc., and don’t forget to add vodka to each drink. Those cocktails to sip on, are ready but don’t forget to keep them more as everyone is gonna ask for more and more. You can also make a pool of alcohol and let it open for those greedy drinker friends of yours.

The dress code is a must

After all the arrangements, when you call up your friends for the indoor beach party, you gotta warn them to follow the beach dress code. It’s time to put on the beachwear and shorts, bikini’s, sarong is a must to be the apart of the party. Also, club them with hat’s, scarves and don’t forget the sunscreen lotion. Now, I know it’s an indoor party but we have to pretend like we are in the sun. So greet your guest with those big sunscreen lotions.

Thus, a perfect beach themed party preparations are done. Now, it’s time to invite your crazy pals and just party hard at home on this no fry day and say no to the sun. So, run and get your party elements set and soak in the pool while not frying in the sun.

Celebrity statements that stirred controversy!

Bollywood stars have a life that is always under the radar. More than their films, their affairs, fights, gossips and controversial statements make headlines. Although it is common to we humans to pass a comment against our rivals, but for the B’town celebs, their reactions are not taken as normal but make headlines all over. Though these celebs try to maintain their diplomatic decorum and pass comments in a joking way, some of their tantrums have grabbed eyeballs and have indeed given us a dose of celebrity gossip. Below, we have clubbed some famous controversial statements of Bollywood stars, which you must not miss to go through.

Sonam Kapoor

Well, this lady has a reputation of making controversial statements without even caring about the consequences. It all started when Sonam Kapoor had replaced Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the brand ambassador of Loreal The fashionista had raised eyebrows by calling Aishwarya an aunty. The fashionista had said, “Ash has worked with my dad, so I have to call her aunty na?” Ouch! Sonam’s comment did hurt Aishwarya who ensured that she didn’t walk the red carpet for the brand at the Cannes. Well, we thought Sonam had got over Aishwarya until her recent comments on her purple lipstick at Cannes. Well, seems like this lady won’t stop her controversial chatter.

Deepika Padukone

Known for her professional nature, Deepika Padukone has always chosen her words wisely when speaking about any B’town celebrity. But, her comment on ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor had made headlines. Deepika had advised Ranbir to endorse condoms on Karan Johar’s popular celebrity chat show Koffee with Karan. She had said, "I'd like to gift a pack of condoms to Ranbir because he uses them too much." 

While Ranbir took this statement sportingly and accepted the proposal, it rubbed Rishi Kapoor wrongly who had lashed out at both Deepika and Sonam who was also a part of that episode. Though Deepika and Ranbir have buried hatchets and later worked together in ‘Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani', her statement is still counted as one of the most controversial celebrity statements.

Aamir Khan

The Khan rivalry is not a new thing, neither for us and nor for the tinsel town. Though pretending to be friends, Shahrukh, Salman and Aamir are rivals in the true face and don’t leave a stone unturned to taunt each other. Though most of their reactions go unnoticed, some have made headlines and led to fights too in the past. One such was of Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan’s statement on his blog that shocked not only his fans but Shahrukh also. Aamir had compared Shahrukh to a dog by saying, “Shahrukh is licking my feet and I’m feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for? This comment of Aamir had indeed questioned his perfectionist tag.

Salman Khan

Bhaijaan Salman Khan had also shocked everyone with his shocking reaction on Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya starrer Guzaarish. “Arre Koi Kutta bhi dekhne nahin gaya,” he had said while commenting on the viewership of the film. Well, this statement of his came after his relation with Sanjay Leela Bhansali turned sour, which the actor vented on his film. The actor was present at a television award, where he had also felicitated the physically handicapped. Salman, who is known for being a religious avenger, took this opportunity and lashed at Bhansali’s film.

Jaya Bachchan

Remember that infamous Khan battle at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party post which the tinsel town was divided into two clans, one of Shahrukh Khan and the other of Salman Khan. During their verbal spat, both Shahrukh and Salman had criticized their respective television shows. But, Shahrukh went overboard and had passed a comment on Salman’s ex Aishwarya Rai Bachchan that had irked mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan. In an interview, Jaya had said, “I would have slapped Shah Rukh if he had made any infamous statement about Aishwarya in my presence.” Well, Jaya’s statement, who had worked with Shahrukh in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’ and ‘Kal Ho Na Ho,’ showed fury for Shahrukh.

Priyanka Chopra

Quantico star Piggy Chops has not only conquered Bollywood but also made a mark in Hollywood. The actress who recently won a Padmashree for her contribution to cinema has always shared a cold relationship with Kareena Kapoor. While Bebo has always openly passed a comment, Piggy Chops too had a word for a word. One such instance, when Kareena’s reaction on Priyanka winning a national award, didn’t go well with the talented actress and she expressed her anger in her witty way. She had said, “Well I guess if you don’t have one (National Award) then, it’s just sour grapes, you know. What do I say?” Ooh…that was indeed a bitchy reply that shut Kareena’s jealous mouth.

Shahid Kapoor

Sasha had also shocked everyone by comparing Kareena Kapoor with a cow and a buffalo. Shahid and Kareena, who are a part of the forthcoming film Udta Punjab, were not in good terms. When once questioned on if he would work with Kareena, Shahid had said, “If my director wants me to work with a cow or a buffalo, I’m ready to do it.” While Kareena had thanked Shahid while receiving a Best Actress award for ‘Jab We Met’, Shahid’s comment showed a sheer anger for her.
