  In the past three months, charges have been traded and insults flung all the way from Bihar to Bombay , from Delhi to Dawood, from Kolkata to Karachi to Kangana . Reason - you guessed right - the alleged suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput.   What have we achieved and where do we go from here?   The vilification of Rhea Chakraborty follows in the sad steps of hundreds of Indian women who have gone through a similar ordeal where they were blamed for everything that went wrong. Held guilty until proven innocent and even after proving their innocence, being perceived as guilty. ‘ Kalyug ’ really is here and we as countrymen, are the pallbearers of India’s decency & morality. Before we proceed This is not to say that the woman in question is above suspicion. That she did no wrong. That she’s not guilty. The charges against Ms. Chakraborty are for the parade of investigative agencies to look into. Should she be found guilty of anything, the law should take its own course. Just a

  The Government dropped a bombshell right in the hearts of millions of gamers with the freshly imposed ban on 118 Apps of Chinese origin. But it wasn’t ban on apps like Camscanner or VideoByte that mattered to those who let out the loudest moans of despair upon hearing the news.

  The ways in which the Covid-19 pandemic has changed us and the way we lead our lives is beyond comprehension. What once used to be a normal life- one that we called 'monotonous' and 'uneventful' at best, has now become something that the society yearns for - badly . I'M A REPORTER TOO !!  Phrases like ‘ flattening the curve’ , ‘bringing down the graphs’ , ‘community spread’ , ‘stages of the pandemic’, - All of which If would have been uttered in as late as March would have solicited unkind remarks involving the speaker being blamed for making the   conversation boring - have now become household terminologies. Suffice to say, the virus has turned us all into armchair epidemiologists , and aren’t we thrilled about it !   The pleasure of sharing some random pedestrian information in family groups or with classmates over WhatsApp isn’t something which can be put into words. And once some information reaches our ears, who exactly cares about assessing its authent
