India’s ‘complicated’ adventure love affair

 A decade’s success story of Hero Motor Corp. The BS6 variant of the Hero Xpulse 200 is expected to be launched soon in India as it finally got listed on the company website. The news is a head-turner for all Indian adventure enthusiasts as the bike is expected to bear more torque than its predecessor. The amount of hype this motorcycle has been getting in the past few months is beyond compare. The Xpulse 200 is currently by a large margin, the flagship product of Hero MotoCorp. The success of this particular motorcycle came overnight but was in the making for over a decade.  Hero MotoCorp was always a visionary when in the Indian motorcycle market. Their partnership with Honda has produced some of the most successful selling motorcycles in the sub-continent. In 1999 Hero alongside partner Honda launched the Hero Honda CBZ.

The Indigenous Way of Dating

Love is beautiful. It is divine and like any other divine procedure, love too takes a while to happen. Some people take up their whole life to find that one perfect partner.  I have been thinking more about this hyped-up system of 'finding love' lately.

(Which is a big deal). Now you move in with him/her (which is at times done before the proposal too) and after months from proposing, you surprise your partner again

Fishes out of water

"Fish Out of Water" is the fourth episode of the  third season  of the American animated television series  Bojack Horseman . The episode features  Bojack  traveling to a film festival in the ocean, where he wears an oxygen-filled bubble to continue breathing. Notably, the episode features less than three minutes of audible dialogue. Plot:   BoJack’s publicist Ana sends him to the world's biggest underwater film festival to promote his movie ‘Secretariat’. Unfortunately, ex-Secretariat director Kelsey Jannings is also attending the festival. Faced with the thought of seeing her, BoJack panics. He goes to the festival lobby where press events are underway. A group of fish journalists takes his picture, so he poses for them—giving them the thumbs-up sign, not knowing that this gesture is offensive in Pacific Ocean City. He notices Kelsey sadly trying to drum up interest in her movie, so he tries to write her an apology note, but she disappears before he can gi
