Wonder Woman saves DC Extended Universe
That heading is not an overstatement by any means. DC fans are still not over the disasters that were Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad as the onslaught of Marvel's tried and tested blockbuster formula continues.

You don't have to give up Carbs
Carbohydrates seem to have a bad rep. By eating more processed, less filling carbs, we're consuming way more calories than we need

Undo the damages of a desk-bound job
If I could, I'd take up manual labour but unfortunately, it doesn't pay well. If you're rolling your eyes, try to count the number of overweight people working on the streets you've come across.

Jump like a kid or a boxer
No, jumping rope [or skipping, as some call it] isn't only for little girls. If you've watched any movie about boxing, or have ever walked into a boxing gym, you'll know it's a staple in a boxer's conditioning programme. It's also what ended my cardio plateau.

La La Land: That Rare Musical I Didn’t Hate
I suppose that title needs clarification. I love music; I eat, breathe, sleep movies – just not characters breaking into a song and dance routine every 15/20 minutes [reason why I’m not a fan of the traditional Bollywood storytelling format].

Opinion: Clickbait gone wrong [as it often does]
British online newspaper, The Independent, publishes article titled “The Muslim country congratulating ‘His Excellency’ Donald Trump” on November 10, 2016 referring to the letter from the Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to the US President-elect Donald Trump. This is a prime example of clickbait gone wrong. The main purpose was – in all likelihood – to come up with a sensational title that draws in readers who don’t know any better [which sadly is often the case on the internet].

I'm happy today because…
Are you happy? Are you content or happy? Do you know the difference between content and happy? If you can perceive the difference, how much does the distinction matter?

Berlin – Art Paradise
Right after I arrived in Berlin, on my way to the hotel, I asked my vivacious guide NihanSivridag, “Describe Berlin in a sentence.” In response, Nihan quoted Klaus Wowereit,former Mayor of Berlin: “Berlin is poor but sexy.”[“Poor”, according to European standards, of course.] Over the next few days, I tried to understand what she meant.

Mad Max: Fury Road
If, like me, you too are over the super humans/aliens fighting epic CGI battles and need a break, “Mad Max: Fury Road” is THE movie you should watch. The last Mad Max film was released 30 years ago. For The Road Warrior's (likely) dwindling fanbase, it has been a long wait; long but rewarding.

One of the terms I LOATHE is 'cookie-cutter'. We're all unique snowflakes. Then why should our workout routines be the same?
