An idealistic young American couple was killed in an Islamic State-claimed terrorist attack last month while on a cycling trip around the world.  Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, both 29, last year quit their office jobs in Washington, DC, to embark on the journey. The couple documented their year-long journey  on  ​Instagram  and on a  ​joint blog .  “You read the papers and you’re led to believe that the world is a big, scary place," Austin wrote.  “I don’t buy it," he continued.

Despite several reminders and follow up messages, Ford did not respond (according to Team BHP).  Now one would think that after sending multiple requests and getting rejected so many times, anyone would break all contact with the manufacturer.But not Team BHP. They did the unthinkable (which I would personally call a genius PR move). They publicly asked their viewers/readers if they owned Ford Ecosport and whether they would oblige by giving th

Yesterday I made a post which said that Jet Airways shares took a tumble of 67.5%. I was wrong. I misread the article which I taken as my source of information.

I should've read the article more thoroughly and cross checked with two-three other reliable sites for the correct news. The actual status of Jet Airways shares as of 10th August.2018 is:

A son, a husband, a father and now a HERO. Gone too soon but not in vain.  Major Kaustubh Rane (29), resident of Mira Road, lost his life  Rane, 29, lost his life fighting for the nation in the Gurez Sector of Jammu & Kashmir on August 7. He was among the four Army personnel killed in a gunfight with terrorists near the LoC in the Bandipura district on Tuesday. His coffin arrived late on Wednesday night and the last rites took place on Thursday morning with full military honours (he was decorated with the Sena Gallantry Medal by President Ram Nath Kovind on the 69th Republic Day celebrations this year). Police had cordoned off the entire area around his building.  Thousands of emotional onlookers (practically 3/4 of Mira Road's population) lined up alongside the road or from building tops and terraces to pay their respects and bid farewell to the man who made them proud and sacrificed himself to ensure their safety. Raising slogans of "Major  Kaustubh Rane , Am
