The time you spend stuck in traffic in this city is not funny. But you can always trust some dry wit to see you through. And one of the oft heard lines is: I could reach faster if I were to walk. You know they say that if a lie is repeated ad nauseam, people begin to think that there is some truth to it. Seems one of our colleagues heard it one time too many.

In sci-fi movies such as The Terminator, the gap between man and machine has reduced to a point where it’s difficult to tell one apart from the other. And a test conducted by British engineers suggests reality might not be far behind…

Interestingly, though there has been an overall rise in the number of applicants, it’s Tier-II cities that have spurred the numbers.

Judges said the work presented the "dark side of India" and likened it to Shakespeare's Macbeth "with a delicious twist".

“Firstly, I don’t think I have the figure to wear a bikini and I cannot say anything to people who are sporting it on screen. But as far as I think, it is far sexier to leave something to the imagination,”
