Mini break wrecks fun
Winter break is round the corner in Delhi University, but students are not happy. The break has been cut short by six to eight days, thanks to the semester system. And with University exams set to start soon after the break, the revelry of previous years has been replaced by heavy-duty studying. It’s tough to find time for both partying and preparing for exams, says students.
SMS to help BPO staffers
Following the recent spate of crimes against women in the city, a new SMS alert system is all set to make its way into the lives of BPO employees in the NCR. BPO employees will now receive SMS alerts about safety regulations to be followed while travelling in office cabs.

Raunchy is punchy
Katrina Kaif brings sexy back and how. Be it pubs, weddings, private parties, or radio stations, there’s definitely something about Sheila Ki Jawani that DJs can’t stop playing this one. Even as critics call the song raunchy, for others, it’s cool and hip. After Munni badnaam and bidi, this new sizzling number has raised the bar for item songs.

The move aims to help pregnant teens who are victims of rape or incest, and those who have been dumped by their boyfriends. It seems like the initiative may help bring down the number of unsafe abortions and careless consumption of contraceptives.

Get into the groove
Having conquered the world with his charisma, when US president Barack Obama came here for a short visit, he immediately struck a chord with the young generation.
When the president was seen dancing with kids in Mumbai at a Diwali celebration, it hit headlines the very next day. Probably what shocked us more than anything else was the informal persona of a President, which is a rare sight in our country. Although we often see our leaders “trying” to connect with the youth, what restrains them from making a friendly gesture in public?
Telly candy? Why knot
After small screen romances and swayamwars, Sara Khan and Ali Merchant are going to make history by getting married in the Bigg Boss house. After all the bickering and controversies around Sara and Ashmit Patel’s “friendship” on the show, as she finally ties the knot with Ali, many wonder if wedding vows continue to survive after the lights are out and curtains down.
Live-in law makes women feel secure
The Supreme Court has now legally entitled a woman to seek maintenance even if she’s not married but in a live-in relationship with her partner. But it may not be as simple as it looks on the surface, for a woman would get maintenance only if she fulfills certain parameters defined by law. The four conditions described by the law
