Here in India we're stuck between the West and the Far East. Both the USA as well as Japan are masters at the art of telling amazing stories in pictorial and animated forms. Inevitably, a vicious conflict has emerged between supporters of American comics and cartoons VS Japan's otakus (anime and manga obsessed people) Cantankerous Cartoons : Let's face it. Cartoons are for kids. Think about it, no sane adult would find channel names such as "Baby TV" and "Cbeebies" even remotely attractive. As viewers grow older and are exposed to all the other shows TV has to offer, they abandon cartoons just the way Jerry abandoned Tom every time they got into trouble. Cartoons are such pathetic wannabes when it comes to attracting mature audiences, that they have to turn to their Kings - Marvel and DC. And what do they do? They make mature scripts, hire real-life actors and launch a Hollywood film. And the cartoon element ceases to exist here. A tiny percent of ...

Have you seen four hungry dogs fighting over a scrap of meat or a bone? If not, I can tell you it's no different from the nasty 4-way slugfest that has been on since 1992 -the English Premier League. Although there are bigger teams in the fray, the craziest fandom battles have always been fought  between Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea. Gunning down Arsenal :  Arsenal fans are dying to quench their thirst. The can't do so - because they haven't won enough cups! Nor have they had enough chances to celebrate a victory with champagne. They're usually not too far from the top but they never actually win -now that's what I call being consistently inconsistent! The only place where you'll find them right at the top is when you arrange the club names in alphabetical order! But inspite of all this,  Arsenal's generosity is laudable: every Christmas they start donating 3 points to every club they play against. As if this wasn't enou...

Situation at hand : the dispute between fans of, arguably, two of the most conformist musical genres in the industry right now. Both sides complain about the other being unoriginal and sounding exactly the same. Meanwhile, we sit back and analyse the raging battle. I know what you’re thinking. ”Don’t these people have anything better to do?!” The answer to your question: NO. Idiosyncrasies of EDM : So you think your music is ‘trippy’? Maybe its because most of the worlds population would rather ‘trip’ over a banana peal than listen to another song by Avicii (assuming they still have their ear drums intact, unlike you EDM lovers). For the record, all your music DOES sound the same.  EDM Concert Now that we have that out of the way, lets get started. Bro, I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you but fist pumping is not as cool as you think. If I see one more dude in a neon muscle tank top pumping away to another scrillex song, I am going to take your beloved drop of ...

Yeah we know! Allies won the 1st world war and defeated Germany. Japan attacked the US of A and got quite a bit of spanking for it during the 2nd. Then there's the Cold War and the Indo-Pak war and oh! hpw can we forget The Indo-China war. The list is quite long. It really is. The world has written eulogies about the war victims and has lashed out at the warring nations but, right now, in January 2015, we at the Rotaract Club of NM College, are least bothered about it. And isn't it justified?! There are battles emerging at every corner and the fighters are falling short of expletives to fire at each other! Believe us, it's a bloodbath out there. Out there, on our streets, Slytherins have vowed to flaunt their pure blood in the face of Gryffindors. George R. R. Martin and JRR Tolkein have pulled back their sleeves and are ready for the word 'go'! Paul McCartney and John Lennon are in a skirmish (again). And music lovers, world over, are rooting...
