Well, that's a good new movie to watch. Read on to know more... It’s impossible that you being a kid born in early 1990s do not know the names of heroines like Rani Mukherjee, Preity Zinta, Madhuri Dixit, Karishma Kapoor, Juhi Chawla and Kajol. And, there are many amongst you who would have written their names as Favourite actress in Slam books. And, so, when these stars – who would always remain evergreen and vibrant – make a comeback, it becomes hard not to make time to catch up with their movies. Hichki – is a film based on the life and place in society of a person affected by Tourette syndrome. Rani Mukherjee – one of my favourite actresses makes a grand comeback with this film.

Back in the early 2000, it was enough for a company to manufacture and market its products through available media – which was print media. And, all they were concerned about was the reaction of the general public which came in way after the product had well penetrated the market. And often, even if the product reviews weren’t positive by the general public, companies could get away with just investing upon reviews and ratings by influential people as advertisement through print media was often beyond the reach of the ordinary man. The associated cost of publishing also kept many individuals out of the scenario. And, any media coverage mandated widespread outrage. But, the situation now in the year 2018 has transformed immensely. With digital disruptions, it is the effective digital intelligence a company can count upon for its very existence in the market. And, with emerging social media – a form of digital media, enabling worldwide connectivity almost free and within th...

Happy International Women's Day everyone. So, this is indeed a very important day for women across the globe and a major reason for us - women to celebrate this day with our fellow breed. And here across my coffee table I have two girls from North-Eastern India, passed off as " Chikni Chinese " by some sleazy youths. The fear of being alone led them to approach me, and having grasped the incident - which took place a while before I entered the café, I was more than happy to help. After all, this accompany over coffee which they call as 'help', is something which works both ways - one, I get company and second, being an woman I get to support another woman when she needs me ( rather a woman by her side ). Well, this according to me is the real essence of womanhood - an integral theme of woman's day - Women beside Women. Irrespective of caste, creed and religion. Irrespective of colour and race. Irrespective of nationality. These sayings are quite popular ...
