Have you ever tried to contact Brad Pitt, Oprah, Roger Federer, Sachin Tendulkar (The God) or our Bhai a.k.a Salman Khan? You might be thinking how a Mango people like us, will ever get to contact them personally. But recently I came across a very interesting theory: “6 Degrees of separation” which can help us to do the same. As per Wikipedia : Six degrees of separation   is the   theory   that everyone and  everything is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world, so that a chain of " a friend of a friend " statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps. . In a world of 6.6 billion people, it does seem hard to believe. The theory of six degrees of separation contends that, because we are all linked by chains of acquaintance, you are just six introductions away from any other person on the planet. The idea of six degrees of separation has been around for over 80 years. And, with social ...

Today Supreme Court of India gave a remarkable judgment by curbing the controversial Section 66A of Information technology Act 2000. Section 66A which was always in the news due to its encroachment on Freedom of speech has been finally declared unconstitutional by the true interpreter of Constitution. The Supreme Court of India has proven once again that if Government doesn’t do its job,  they  will do it. But what exactly is Section 66A and why are there so many controversies around it?

“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!” -- Ted Grant Few weeks ago I read an  article about a Dark skin campaign that seeks to change the mindset of society and to create awareness about the deep-rooted prejudice that fair skin is better than dark skin. Nandita Das led that campaign has created a lot of controversy by filing a public petition against Emami and Mr. Shah Rukh Khan to take down the Fair and Handsome ad and to also focus on promoting healthy skin, not on fair skin. The issue is not that whether Bollywood or different actors/actress should be blamed for this Ad. Or not but what are the social implication of this 2-3 Min Ad. on our society. Albeit we are in the 21st century but still most Indians opt for an arranged marriage - a traditional setup in India, whereby the parents pick out a suitable spouse for their children. Matches are found by word of ...

“Today  I opened The Hindu newspaper and the headline that caught my attention “ Mamta heckled, convoy blocked ”.The article was about a septuagenarian old nun of a convent school  gang-raped in Ranaghat town, some 80km from Kolkata, early on Saturday . Suddenly it brought back the memory of Nirbhaya incident and the many more rape cases which happened after that. Few days back Leslee Udwin, a famous BBC journalist published a controversial documentary on India’s daughter. As soon as the teaser video became viral on Internet, our so called democratic leaders who always vouch to support free will and free speech (who in many cases fail to take an expedite response on many critical issues), became active and banned the video in entire India. Soon after that, many open letters published. Some of them took supportive stances and some of them even asked her to make England’s daughter and South African's daughter to show that we Indian are at 54 ranks in the no of pe...
