Our Indian Police is often cursed for being a very corrupt police force.

Most of us have little or no faith in our safety and security supervisors. While there are many reasons n our country for many to go corrupt, there are many other countries which have worse case scenarios.

We all know that police corruption takes place when police forces display misconduct in order to obtain personal gains, monetary gains, or job advancements. In our country the reason to corruption at lower levels is the under-wages. They are not paid as per their job duties and hence they seek gains from other sources. In many other countries the reasons are similar but there are many a times when the act of corruption is based on purely selfish reasons. And in that case, they have broken all the barriers of corruption.

Here we are bringing you the top 5 Corrupt Police Forces of the nations across the world:

1. The Most Corrupt Police Force Goes To Haiti Police

World’s most corrupt police force is of Haiti. This police force is known for their corrupt practices and negative influences on the society. Even the Haitian culture has been marred with the unethical practices of the forces. Police officials are notorious to take law in their hands and trouble the citizens beyond measures. If you see the records of recent times, Haitian police went outrageous and broke many laws and violated human rights to the extends past believable. They have been involved in human trafficking, drug trafficking, and many acts of brutality. This so called lawlessness in the country did settle a bit after the catastrophic earthquake in January 2010, but only time will tell if it will stay this way.

2. Second Position Is Grabbed By The Mexico Police

One of the most troubled police and it continues to get worse every day. Crime is at an all-time high in Mexico City and border towns, but many police officers are only making it worse. The most common reason of the corruption in the country is low salaries. Police officials do not shy away from accepting huge bribes form criminals and doing favors. They even extort a lot of money from tourists.  They are known to give victims the option of “plata o plomo,” which means they can either offer a bribe or be killed. Mexican police also work with drug cartels to protect them and enforce drug trafficking. They often ignore reported crimes and do not investigate them to catch hold of criminals, instead, imprisoning innocent people to cover up for their negligence.

3. Kenya Police Takes The Third Position

Kenya is at No.3 amongst the most corrupt police forces in the world. This one a worse case, as a recent survey report of Transparency International, where the 92 percent civilians of Kenya themselves ranked their police as the most corrupt. Their verdict was shocking as many of them said to have paid a bribe to their police during the last 12 months only. Civilians are threatened to pay police on the availability of most basic amenities and services such as customs, healthcare, education, various registration and permits and basic utility services.

4. At Number Four Is Subdued Burma Police

Burma ranked 4 when it came to the corruption in the nation, especially police force. Corruption among police force is like moving vehicles on the road, very usual and acceptable. The Burma police is notorious to make victims pay for the criminal investigations. Extorting money from troubled citizens is like their favorite pass time. Be known that Burma is ruled by a highly authoritarian military regime, therefore the Burma police and the rights of citizens are under direct hold of military. Yet, the levels of corruption.

5. The Controversial And Scheming Iraq Police Takes Fifth Position

The most contentious Iraqi police have had a long history of corruption for various reasons. Despite the funding and monetary assistance from UN and other organizations, they are not giving up on corrupt practices. Iraqi police continue to be highly ruthless, cruel and inhumanly. They participate in kidnappings, ransom payments and bribery, quite openly. Moreover, they have a track record of being ineffective at nailing the terrorist activities in the country. The reasons are well known to the citizens and the authorities outside the country too.

Now you see, Indian Police forces do not make it to top 5 when it comes to the corruption pedestals. Our forces are still better, and we hope they continue to become better than this.

We all are very fond of our dads, well most of us.

They are strong pillars in our lives who give us every comfort from the day we are born. They help us to meet our aspirations and reach our goals too.

But many in their 20s or college life, start to feel that their father is their worst enemy! We say, that is absolutely a wrong thought. We understand that you  may not be able to connect with your dad on friendly grounds, the way SRK did with Anupam Kher in DDLJ, chatting up about the girlfriend problems and all. Yet, your dad can be your best friend if at all you want to make them, and start to see them as.

Today, we are giving you 8 very valid and believable reasons that your dad is your best friend in your college days. Read and make an effort to make him one, if you think the things are not in place for you.

1. Their Strictness Towards You Is For Your Benefits

If your dad is a strict person and refrains you from many fun things, he is actually being your well wisher and friend to help you be a better person in life. Unlike your college friends who are just living frivolous life with you and living the moment. Your dad definitely holds your interests in a better way. Come to think of it, if your dad has a strict rule that you must enter the house at a certain time, you will pick this as a habit and will never be late for your professional appointments. Dads are not strict because they are made that way. They are like that because they want to make us a respectable person in the future.

2. While We Are Gaining Education They Are Our Funders

If it is not for your dad, you would probably never be able to meet your aspirations of the kind of education you seek. They slog for hours together to be able to fund your education and give you all the comforts while you are at it. Which friend is doing that for you? Your dad is making your future secure.

3. Dads Are The Equipped And Experienced Encyclopedias 

You can never have a better mentor than your dad ever. We can bet on that! He is the person who has experienced life in all its forms and played various roles too. Being the closest to you, he knows you and understands you unlike any other friend and that’s why he can guide you in the right direction.

4. Your Dad Is One Person You Can Always Depend Upon 

If you decide to confide in your dad, he is one person you can always depend upon, no matter how gruesome situation you are in, especially in carefree college days.  It is a tried and tested moment for many who vouch by the fact too. He gives you the sense of security that no other friend can give.

5. They Are Your Problem Solvers

From school education and math problems, to college education and grading sorrows, to all the life’s great problems, fathers seem to have the answer to all of them. And even if they don’t, they’ll look it up for you. Which friend will do it for you with that kind of dedication?

6. When The Time Demands, They Play Mom Too

When moms are not around or fall sick, it is your dad only who cooks breakfast for you when you are mad rushing to college. He is the one who makes sure that you get food on your table and clean clothes in your wardrobe when your mother is not there to take care of all these. Point out at a single friend who has ever done that for you.

7. Dads Are The Greatest Motivators In Life 

You get intimidated in your young age, while taking a plunge in newer things. But, your dad is always there to encourage you and motivate you if you are moving in the right direction. Moreover, there is a sense of ease while taking up something new, because you know he is there to hold up if anything goes wrong. 

8. This One Is The Best – They Are Funny Too 

All dads have this funny side to them. They might not like to show it all the time, for the discipline they need to inculcate in you and others in the family. But when the opportunity comes, they prove to be the funniest friend you can have and make some memories worthwhile

So folks, before we wind up on the thought, we would like to add that dads are often taken for granted and most of the times we fail to see a good friend in them, while we are busy making friends outside, in younger years. 

Try and take a closer look today and initiate the most beautiful friendship with dad, TODAY!

Many of us, who are either seasoned at their career or are very new, make certain mistakes, which are capable of ruining the career altogether.

The mistakes that mar the reputation at the office and make one look like an utterly unprofessional person. Sometimes we are not even aware of such gaffes. Most of the times,  it’s the gradual accumulation of smaller offenses that keeps one from getting ahead in their careers.

Let’s have a look at those prominent 10 mistakes which destroy your career. If you wish to have a flourishing feat in your professional domain, you must avoid these.

1. You Do Not Accommodate And Learn To Adapt The Company Culture

In the current times, almost every organisation and office has their own peculiar culture, the rules, and the customs they like to abide by. If you stick to your own style in the office and are wary of going with the norms of the organisation, you would probably become an outcast and will suffer. This attitude is alienating to co-workers and makes it seem like you don’t care about forming positive relationships in the office.

Looking for a job?

Well, if you are and if you are making these 7 mistakes in a resume, chances of your getting a job reduce substantially.

To be honest, what and how you write in your resume becomes a testimony to your personality and skills. Make sure you reflect what you want to and what can enhance your career, and not what can ruin it altogether.

Also, if you were not aware till now, get yourself updated on the fact that resumes, like many other marketing materials, have an expiration date. Resume sells your skills, and hence it is a marketing doc for you. But, as the times and the technology change, the procedures of job hunt and evaluations are changing too. Therefore it becomes important to re-evaluate your resume writing styles and avoid the mistakes that you might be making.

Here are the top 7 mistakes you are making while writing your Resume! Avoid them at all costs!

1. Do Not Make It Look Like An Auto Biography. Keep It Short And Crisp

Ok yes, you are too enthusiastic to write about your achievements, awards, hobbies and interests, agreed! But, the longer the resume, the greater are the chances of it getting rejected. On an average, a recruiter or employer would spend 6 to 10 seconds to take a glance through your resume. The highest would be 16 seconds, if at all it is found worth consideration. If you wish to give away all the info in those 10 or 16 seconds, try to keep it to pone pager or one and a half to the max. Remember, your resume should always highlight the skills, the job experience, and the life accomplishments that are most relevant to your job goals.

These days, many students struggle between their fun life and academic schedules. Not being able to make a healthy balance, bogs them down.

The students who concentrates more on academics become boring book worms, and the ones who indulge in social life and parties are often tagged as careless freaks!

Here, we are going to tell you how to create a perfect balance your college life fun with your academics.

1. Learn To Control Your Schedule. Your Schedule Should Not Be Controlling You

Time management skills are utmost important if you wish to create a prolific and interesting schedule. Then comes, how to organize that schedule. For this, at the beginning of each semester, learn to organize all the important dates such as class tests, project submission deadlines etc., in a planner. Write them down yourself, so that you remember them clearly. Organize your presentation and campus meeting dates too, in the planner. Now, important thing is to mark the social activity times in the planner too, especially the fun hours with friends and birthday party celebration. Make sure you mark these in a planner that is with you all the time, supposedly a planner on your mobile phone. Your study time, 2-3 hours in every 2 days (just for an example) should also be marked in the planner, and make it as per the best hours that you can devote to studying, sans any distractions! Be disciplined enough to schedule any other activities that are less important around those that are most important and control your schedule yourself, to follow it religiously.

2. Know Your Priorities And Act Accordingly 

If you understand your priorities and act on them, you will know exactly how to make the best of each hour you have in hand. This is the biggest key factor to a successful and healthy college life, which is a good mix of fun and education. Everyone has exactly 24 hours each day. People who achieve more in life simply make better use of their 24 hours each day than everyone else. What you do with each of your 24 hours has as much to do with your success during college as any other factor. There is an old saying that “if it important enough to you, you make time for it.” Be sure that nobody is in charge of your time except for you. It is one of the most valuable assets you have. Make the best use of it, at all times.

3. Do Not Miss Any Classes

That’s right! Never do that! Skipping college classes might sound adventurous and fun, but trust me, it is all the more dangerous. You may miss your classes and still pass your exams, simply by cramming at the end of each semester. However, missing the classes is like making things difficult for you, and studying longer hours than usual. Which definitely eats up your time you could allocate for friends and other social activities. Therefore, attending the classes will only help you to save time for a lot of fun later. Also, try to get in the habit of forcing yourself to sit in the FRONT of the class, especially in large classes. Studies show that students retain more information, and pay more attention, even if they don’t realize it. It also helps keep you awake. That usually allows you to take better notes, as well. Which again saves a lot of time trying to copy notes from friends.

4. Keep The Fun Zone On At Right Times

We know you wouldn’t need help with this pointer. Who need tips on how to have fun, right? Yet, we must say that enjoy your college time to the core, while you can. You will recall these amazing years as best years of your life, when you are all grownup caught in the rut of life. Believe it or not, but professors, administrators, and your parents want you to enjoy every minute of it! You must enjoy it while making efficient use of your time and controlling your schedule. All the important ingredients should be there at right times, which allow you to dissolve your stress and breathe free for few hours.

With these tips, we are sure you will now try to take correct steps to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

Have a blast during your college life, while you excel at the academics too.

All the best!

Students, these are quite demanding. With the increasing exposure that they have and the increasing demands of academic life, students wish to make more and more of their terms in college. Especially the ones who are way too serious about their education and careers ahead.

And to meet their goals and objectives, their college lecturers, educate them, train them and equip them with essential skills to become the best that they can. Therefore, college lecturers are one of the most important in a student’s life.

But then again, there are good lecturers, there are average and there are bad ones too.

How to identify the good ones from the rest of the lot? You may ask.

Well, here are 6 most important qualities of modern day college lecturer, that can help you to know, understand and make a good bond with the prolific lecturers of your college.

1. They Are Always Organised

A good lecturer is always organised for self and also helps his students to do the same. This may involve managing all sorts of student records and their results through complicated spreadsheets with large amounts of data. The key for them to do do is getting this right is to be organised from the start of the year.

2. They Use The Modern Technology Very Effectively

We are in the era where education is largely based on technological devices and online information. And it makes all the more easy for students to connect with each other and their lecturers to share the information. A good lecturer never gets frightened of technology and changing times. They would constantly make an effort to use the technology in the best possible way, no matter what era or age they come from. For students such lecturers are the best friends because they have something tangible to offer to the students that they can access outside class time. Many are intimidated by the format of lectures and seminars and are initially unsure how to collect information from the lecturers, so having the back up of online lectures, digitised research materials, and links to useful websites are always beneficial for students. They also make good use of emails, when they cannot be available personally.

3. They Are Never Over Prepared For A Class

As much they are updated with latest research and  information and are well prepared on their subject, a good lecturer is always wary of bombarding the students with too much of information in one class. Hence, they do not over prepare the lectures and spend too much time writing papers for them. Sensible lecturers rely on their practical knowledge of the subject, rather than the crammed information they just mugged a day before. Which becomes quite evident while they take a class, when they share anecdotes and personal experiences from years gone by. Which makes the lectures all the more interesting.

4. They Learn Names Quickly And Become Friends With Students

It may seem a minor point, but students really do respond better if a lecturer refers to them by their first name. It shows that they have made a personal connection with the student, they remember them and have paid attention to who they are and what they have to say, and it makes the students more confident about the lecturer. It also has the added bonus of being useful if there are any mischievous students in the class. Lecturers can tackle them directly, owing to the friendly connection they have built with the student. They also are able to help their students better, in the time of crisis. Yet, they keep a respectable distance with the students, never interfering with their personal lives, until the help is really sought.

5. They Never Over Commit

Good lecturers know their limits and they know how to abide by them. They never become too available to the students and keep providing undue assistance for every small thing. They try to instill the value of independent study in students. They understand that their role is distinctly different to that of a school teacher so they try to get the balance right between showing the care being genuinely interested in the learning of the students. They never over commit and show the students, their real status.

6. They Are Never Ashamed of Learning From Their Students

A good lecturer always knows that there is ample scope to learn from the students. Modern day students have access to a lot of knowledge and information. Lecturers get some fascinating ideas from their students or something they find interesting might trigger curiosity in them. They welcome all of it enthusiastically and participate energetically in gaining such updates from their students.

To end it all, I would like to say that a good lecturer is the one who always the best interest of his students in place. Always there to impart the best education, knowledge and best advices to his students. And becomes a guide friend when there is a need, giving the valuable guidance for life too.

Hope you find these qualities in your college lecturers.

Going by the trends in Indian Education System, it is found that , one third of college freshers plan to graduate in science and engineering, while about 8% of all these first-year students intend to concentrate in engineering proper.

Some of these engineering students are destined to land lucrative jobs with big giants worldwide, while others are . . . well, every field has its “lesser lights”, right?

Today, we have decided to bring to a sane piece of advice, that current engineering students could follow to put themselves on the fast track to career success.

Here are the best tips, most of which would work for any career-aspiring college student, but we are concentrating on Engineering Students.

Find Your Inspiration In The Field

For the engineering brigade it is imperative to find a realistic inspiration.  To identify the people who inspire, and find out what makes them tick. If you love Apple products, Steve Jobs may be your idol, or perhaps you may find a young talented current times engineering enthusiast who has won the accolades.  You can easily find out a lot of information about any other prominent person in technology, who made a brand of himself. Use that information to look into what’s helped these people and their companies become so successful. Then emulate their positive traits in your personal, scholastic, and professional life.

Start Developing Your Portfolio of Projects Right From College Time

Do not think that college time is only theoretical learning time and get head-buried in books. You must participate in every hands-on, experiential learning opportunity that a balanced schedule allows. Design and create, convert your ideas into tangible projects. This way, you’ll be building a substantial portfolio alongside and you will have something unique to show to a prospective employer or a venture capitalist, when you graduate. In addition, you’ll be far more likely to retain the knowledge you’ve gained in classes because you’ll be applying it too and, in the process, boosting your communication and interpersonal skills, which will be an added bonus.

Make Networking Your Tool

Being the ace in a field depends upon who you are being with and whom you know. Remember, whom you know is almost as important as what you know. For that, you must attend special lectures on your campus and introduce yourself to the invited speakers. Check with your college or institution’s alumni association to get a list of alumni from your program who want to connect with undergraduates and impart tips from their experiences. Also, try and become members of technology clubs in your college or your vicinity. Make a productive network of likeminded people around you. For networking, social media platforms like LinkedIn can be used effectively.

Learn To Build And Work In Teams

Whether it’s about creating a solar-powered chopper, or participating in a college sport, or writing a research paper for the college almanac, try to work with a team. Identify the tasks that requires a team effort to produce great results, and build a solid team around it. Because, if you are in a field like engineering, throughout your career, you can be sure that you’ll be working in teams. The team building skills that you develop in college will help prepare you to lead teams in your professional career.

Learn To Take Constructive Criticism

When you design or create something, you will definitely get feedback from team members, group leaders, and professors. This feedback can be positive and negative too. You will have to learn to take negative criticism constructively because that is what will help you identify your flaws. When you have concrete feedback on how actually people view you and your work, you can work to improve your knowledge and skills. Plus, you’ll also learn how to accept, and give, constructive criticism, which is absolutely necessary for your future career.

Learn The Business Skills Too

As an engineer, it’s not enough for you to be technically proficient; you need to be business savvy too. If you’re going to be a professional, or going to become an entrepreneur, you need to understand what a P&L is (also known as an income statement). Go through the organization charts, know how to negotiate contracts, and be familiar with the myriad other functions that every top engineer needs to know. Learn to deal with an accountant, lawyer, a govt. dept. head or any other who is going to be imperative for engineering projects in future.

Get Familiar With The World Around You

There’s a whole wide world out there beyond problem sets, laboratories, and theory. There is a lot happening on the planet which is affecting life on everyday basis. Innovations, inventions are happening almost every day. Therefore, you must learn to walk with trends. Take a visual design course so you’ll learn to represent fresh ideas graphically. Take a cognitive science course to learn how people interpret the world and understand it. Take a literature course to develop your knowledge and appreciation of the classic books, which will help you write and communicate more effectively. Develop some proficiency in another language, travel abroad, or meet students from other cultures. Start “globalizing” right at college.

Enhance Your Practical Experience

When you enter the professional world, your practical experience will be given equal weightage along with your theory knowledge. Employers place tremendous value on practical experience. To work on your practical knowledge, you must look for internship opportunities actively and early in your academic career. Try to demonstrate through your internships a series of evolving engineering projects, and use the internships to build your portfolio of actual projects/products. New graduates who display a commitment to using even their vacation time productively, and who continue to learn, are always viewed more seriously by the prospective employers.

To sum it all, at last we are going to impart the most important and sane piece of advice that, as an engineering student, the life is not going to be easy, but you can definitely make it fun and very interesting, provided you decide to look beyond the books.

There is a whole world around you which is a fine specimen of genius engineering. Make the world your playground of learning.

Be the best you!

A student’s life is full of challenges and aspirations. And the ones who aim higher, are the ones who achieve too. I am talking about the brilliant lot, here.

Many students are content with the basic education they receive, while many like to challenge themselves to newer avenues to test their abilities and achieve greater heights.

One of the such challenges is a Doctorate Degree, a.k.a. PhD, in a student’s life.

It is undeniably counted as one the most important and the highest grade in the catalogue of educational qualification, that an academician can acquire. And as they say,  the paramount can never be achieved without effort. Especially the one which requires day and night effort, brings the finest fruits as its result.

Yet, as it is believed, one has to be a little strange to want to do a doctorate or PhD. Because, once you take up a PhD, you really have to give up on a chance to earn some real money in a steady job. You will be your own boss, setting up your own timetables, goals and agendas for several years of little or possibly no money.

Let us discuss a few imperative points about PhD, to help the students understand better.

What is PhD?

PhD or research based education, which fetches a degree of a Doctorate, is directly related with a student’s academic field.

Entering students often think of a PhD as a ‘magnum opus’, a brilliant research project culminating in a great work. This is rather an extremely demanding model and very few students win Nobel Prizes as a result of their doctoral studies.

As rightly phrased by someone,  a PhD is more like strolling around in familiar territories with a magnifying glass which fetches less of major discovery of new lands, but more painstakingly detailed investigation of some well-known ones.

In realistic terms, a PhD is a demonstration of your indepth research competence. Through your research, a student is expected to demonstrate the following:

• Mastery of The Chosen Subject
• Research Insight
• Respect For The Discipline
• Capacity For Independent Research
• Ability To Lay Down The Results And Relate Them To A Broader Discourse

These parameters definitely reflect competence and professionalism, rather than magnitude. More importantly, they are as much about comprehending others’ work as about doing one’s own.

Therefore, a PhD is research training leading to a professional research qualification. A PhD can also be a deep, specific education in a discipline, preceding a postdoctoral period of on-the-job training.

Why PhD?

With the changing times and swift upgrading in the academic grounds, PhD is becoming a coveted part of educational life. Research scholars are seen playing 3 important roles in the course of their PhD, which basically explains the requirement of it.

• Getting involved only in the research field without any teaching requirement in order to dig out more information’s and findings about many new issues and cases.

• Getting involved in teaching sector only, without indulging in any research task. This particular requirement emerges in the higher education only, where the master’s or doctoral studies have been completed. Earlier, it was not the compulsion for lecturers to hold any doctorate degree, but as per the raised benchmarks in the educational qualifications of the educationists, it is slowly becoming imperative.

• Getting involved in teaching as well as research both, in their respective fields, so as to deliver more practical lectures with the most updated information of the topics in question. This is often demanded in the doctoral level teaching where the lead has to teach the pursuing candidates also and keep screwing new nuts of the topic, along side.

Thankfully, there also are some very good understandable reasons to support that why a normal, sane person should choose a doctorate or a PhD.

To Achieve or Create Something In Life Worth A Mention

If your ambition is to make money, then please go and become an entrepreneur. But if you are ambitious enough to challenge yourself, push yourself to new heights or achieve a difficult goal, then a doctorate or a PhD is definitely for you.

To Discover New Horizons In Life

If you still have that childlike curiosity left in you, after all the years in the college, you have all the potential to be a great researcher. If at all you feel a driving force pushing you to explore and learn new things, then you may love research, and find a doctorate is perfect for you.

To Improve On Self And Betterment of Life

If you only wish to pursue a PhD degree for the sake of a pay raise, then forget it. A PhD course is a great tool for greater things in life. It can improve on your abilities to understand and solve problems, it increases your confidence, it makes you a better communicator and helps you gain skills that may lead to a better job.

Only If It Fits Your Personality

Some people are made for a doctorate. You might have grown up doing countless little ‘research projects’ as hobbies. You might have a natural thirst for knowledge or an insatiable appetite for reading books about a particular topic. You might have had a lifelong fascination – even obsession – about something significant. If this sounds like you, and you can tailor a doctorate to suit your particular needs, then you’ll love it.

It May Serve As A Key to Abroad

Doctorates are in huge demand overseas, and if a scholar owns that degree from any renowned university it further increases the probability of an academic call from other nations. Thus, not only adds up to the employment scale and earning potential of the scholar, but also becomes a value adding point from the promotional point of view. Statistics show that a PhD scholar working abroad earns 50% more than, the one working here in the home country.

To sum it all, at last I would like to add, that whatever else it may be, a PhD Degree is undeniably a huge prestige tag, as till date it is the most illustrious degree that students aspire to achieve.

Now, it is completely your call, if you want to go for it or not!

Today’s audience loves gorgeous women!

In fact, who doesn’t? And if that gorgeous girl also possesses brains and talent, people are going to die for her! That holds so much true in case of Bollywood actresses who have proved their mettle with their splendid acting and breathtaking performances, where the only area of focus was part of their body above the neck area!

Then there are some glam dolls whose only claim to fame is their sexy body and that figure that makes men drool all over them all day and night! Huh!

Many of such heroines have zero talent, but are impeccable eye candies! My point is they should remain that instead of trying to act since they suck at it anyways! So why not show some skin and earn some money till you can, right?

Here’s the list of 5 actresses Actresses who should only wear bikinis and stop trying to act and simply look beautiful and do nothing else:

1) Sunny Leone

In her case, wearing a bikini is more than what she is supposed to do since her claim to fame is something that requires no clothes at all! Before every release of hers (movie release you dirty minded people!! :p ) she gives interviews and talks about how she has given her all as an actress and is seeking more challenging roles! Obviously after the movie everyone realises her best didn’t even start ‘A’ of acting! Better stop it Sunny, just show your curves and the world will be in a happier place!

2) Katrina Kaif

Ms. Beautiful has been trying for many years to learn Hindi language and act, but every attempt has failed! In fact, she should realise that people have even stopped expecting an acting performance from her so she should not be so hard on herself. Relax darling, just look like a hottie that you’re and start making plans of settling down. Acting in not your cup of tea!

3) Jacqueline Fernandes

This Sri Lankan import has made the right connections, selected the right kind of support system in Bollywood (read Salman Khan) and oozes out sexuality out of every pore of her body! Why does she need to act then? Based on above mentioned qualities, she will survive for long! Carry on Jacky, the Indians are looks-crazy, we as a nation, don’t give too much importance to women who have beauty and talent! You anyways are blessed with only one of those two!

4) Sonam Kapoor

Sonam has been trying really hard to do different roles, give controversial statements, work with the best banners including her own family’s banner to do some meaty roles, but everything has failed big time! The irony is, when she donned a bikini in one of her dud movies, she got immense fame. So why not stick to it, even if you don’t have a figure to flaunt a bikini-body, people still love you in that attire! That way nobody has to go through the torture of listening to what stupidity you vomit out of your mouth! The focus is elsewhere, you know?

5) Nargis Fakhri

Well, this import from abroad has also proven that she looks a million bucks, but can’t act to save her life! She might be intelligent, who knows, but that’s not a guarantee for being a good actress! How about being hot and sexy and letting other more mature and sensible actresses entertain us with their talents? Now don’t be a cry baby, you also entertain in your own way and people love that kind of entertainment too!

This, I think suffices for today’s bitchy gossip. Let me find a hot and spicy topic for tomorrow.

Will see you soon.

Playing pranks on your friends is always a good way of having fun.

Of course, the pranks should be such that they don’t cause a permanent harm or lead to any financial losses; that’s the beauty of pranks!

We bring to you 7 of the craziest pranks that you can play on your friends and then sit back and enjoy.

1)   Invite your friends over and offer them with some cold drinks. The only difference is, add some soy sauce to those drinks and keep your glass separate. Then ask them for a cheer and making sure everyone takes a sip at the same time! The looks on their faces after the first sip will be priceless!

2)   Involve your friend’s boss or a college professor in some light hearted fun. Ask them to call your friend on the phone when he/she is with you and fire him. Check the expressions on your friend’s face after coming to know that their job is gone or they have been suspended from the college for the flimsiest of the reasons! Only after enjoying the moment to the maximum, spill the beans!

3)   This prank will only work if you know your friend really well and have access to their bedroom and personal belongings. You don’t have to do much except secretly add some baby powder to their hair dryer. Then let them take a shower and start to blow dry hair. The whiteness of their hair and face will be a moment to capture on your smart phone and to be shared with your other friends!

4)   Borrow their phone for an urgent call and on the pretext of making the call, walk away from the room for a short while. In this small window of opportunity available to you, switch the names of their mom or dad with their girlfriend or boyfriend’s name in the contact list of the phone. Watch their horrible expressions when they text those romantic Coochie-coos to their parents!

5)   When in a coffee shop, grab a moment when they go to the washroom. Do this simple trick to really give a sour taste in their mouth. Cut the corner of a small chilli sauce packet, enough to insert a straw in it. Then remove the lid of their coffee cup, empty the coffee and put the sauce packet in it with the straw. Put the lid back on and wait for them to take a sip of their favourite coffee, oops chilli sauce!

6)   This is again a phone prank, but works wonderfully! A simple trick of changing their phone ringtone to a porn audio clip and making sure that you call them when they are in their class taking lectures or in a boardroom meeting! The embarrassment on their face will be a lifelong memory to cherish!

7)   Just put a few drops of food colouring on your friend’s toothbrush that they won’t even notice. Imagine their reaction when they brush their teeth and see a different colour! Want to extend the ordeal? Add some salt to it and the colour will stay for a few days at least!

Try these pranks and make life some more fun and enjoyable! Make sure your friends are a good sport and don’t take offence to these harmless antics!
