- Who: Arti
- What: “Celebrating Shakti: Nine Ancient Devi Mata Temples In India!”
- Spicy: We are just done with celebrating the festival of Navratri – Celebrating the 9 forms of Shakti (a feminine force behind all creations). Most of us by the virtue of long lists of commitments, celebrate the puja, dance and the Dusherra night. But there is more to this festival than just that. Go on a journey with Arti as she blogs about all the fifferent forms of this divinity across the country.
- Who: Sandeep Patil
- What: “A brief history of “intellectual dishonesty””
- Spicy: The very duality of the society that India is raises a lot of questions. Some questions can get answers with enough probing but some just succeed in frustrating us. This essential duality and contradiction might look amusing to an outsider, but can be detrimental to the nation in the long run. Sandeep takes us through India’s history of intellectual dishonesty.
- Who: Akshay Ajmera
- What: “The Super Power of Milk and Dairy Products”
- Spicy: Remember how all of us gurgled happily as babies when presented with a bottle of milk? Of course you don’t, you were a baby! But it would serve you well if this love for milk continues well into your adulthood too. Because a glass of milk or a cube of your favourite cheese have a lot more power than you can imagine. So stock up!
- Who: GB
- What: “Goodbye Viru”
- Spicy: The cricketing world bid a goodbye to a player who wrote his own rules when it came to the game. Virender Sehwag announced his retirement on 21st October, leaving his fans in an emotional state. He was a terror for bowlers on the opposing team and a saviour for the Indian team on most occasions. Here is a blogger paying a tribute to this fearless champ who broke records and played shots, all in his own style.
- Who: Rikitha Anchan
- What: “The Surreptitious Gateway!”
- Spicy: Newspapers used to be an integral part of every household’s mornings, but now they have been relegated to the background because of news channels and live news updates on the Internet. But newspapers still have value, as said by, well…a newspaper. Read on.
- Who: Arvind Passey
- What: “The Making of Durga Idols During Devi Paksha”
- Spicy: Rare is a person who is not moved by the idols staring down benevolently at devotees in a Durga Puja pandal. You can see the world in Maa’s eyes, but there is a story behind the making of these beautiful idols that embody everything that is feminine and divine. Read this story which is just as fascinating as the idols themselves.
- Who: Vignesh Prabhu
- What: “Trek To Beautiful Grasslands Of Kudremukh”
- Spicy: Kudremukh means a ‘face of a horse’ in Kannada and is a popular destination among trekkers. It has a peak that looks like a face of a horse, hence the name. With beautiful waterfalls, calm landscapes, clear water that you can directly sip, the place makes for a relaxing visit. Vignesh tells us more about his trip.
