A lot of us have been bullied by bullies in our lives, without knowing what to do. While it is not always possible to come up with the most ego-shattering burns when someone tries to insult us, simply standing up for yourself is enough most of the time. Point to remember: how someone treats you has more to do with their own self-esteem than it is to do with your worth as a person.

I have used some dating apps over the past year, only to uninstall each one of them in a matter of days. I know these apps do work for people, which is what makes it so frustrating. I totally blame the hopeless romantic in me for not getting into the whole online dating thing.

Republic Day marks and celebrates the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect, January 26, 1950. The Constitution lays down its ideals in the Preamble in the very beginning.

Cats are considered quiet, independent and (apparently) low-maintenance pets, but if you are planning to get one, make sure you are prepared for some of their annoying cat-behaviours. They are moody and unpredictable. They think you are the one living in their house rent-free, so make sure you obey their command.
