Unlike what many think that ‘Kehindes’ are always faster, I was sharper than him. I started dating Fola first, but one day, I noticed that he was going out, but he didn’t tell me where he was going. That was so strange so I decided to find out where he was going, and I realised he was visiting the Okunniyis. He later told me he likes Febi, and I told him it was okay that he should stick to her, because I already had my eyes on Fola.”

Here's why Game of Thrones would be so much more fun as a Balaji soap
This is Game of Thrones re-imagined as an Indian TV soap, stamped with all the hallmarks of an Ekta Kapoor serial - the punctuated close-ups, the cheesy music, the dramatic flashback, the exaggerated expressions.
Sinhasan Ke Khiladi (genius name) features the execution of Eddard Stark, played by British star Sean Bean, from season one of Game of Thrones. Only this time, the melodrama is supplied by Ayush Arora, editor of this gem, clearly headed for internet fame.
Like every good Balaji episode, Sinhasan Ke Khiladi also ends a heartbeat short of the moment the events were building upto.

Why You Must Take Chocolate ?

Chocolaty goodness
Our digestive system has trouble with chocolate, which is why it may be good for us.

In recent years, large-scale epidemiological studies have found that people whose diets include dark chocolate have a lower risk of heart disease than those whose diets do not. Other research has shown that chocolate includes flavonols, natural substances that can reduce the risk of disease. But it hasn't been clear how these flavonols could be affecting the human body, especially the heart. New findings from Virginia Tech and Louisiana State University, however, suggest an odd explanation for chocolate's goodness: It improves health largely by being indigestible.

VIDEO: Happiness is a baby, a dog and a cloud of bubbles

Happiness is a baby, a dog and a cloud of bubbles
Baby Molly wasn't impressed by the airy bubbles her mother blew to amuse her until Bennie the dog joined in the fun.

Bennie leaping around popping the bubbles turned out to be the funniest thing not-quite-10-months-old Molly had ever seen in her short life.

Tail wagging, Bennie waits expectantly for the next rush of bubbles. Gurgling and giggling in equal parts, so does little Molly.

We dare you not to fall over laughing just like Molly does. And we guarantee this video of baby, dog and 'Hysterical Bubbles' will make you more than a little bit wistful, nostalgic about those long-gone days when all it took to make the sun shine brighter was a bottle of soap water and a plastic ring that created a rainbow-tinted cloud of happiness, a fragile joy.

Why Vatican Said Jesus May Not Coming Again

I know many will not find this funny but if you are one of those expecting that Jesus Christ is coming very soon, then you may just have to shelve that thought because according to waterfordwhispersnews.com, the Vatican, the seat of the Roman Catholic Church Worldwide has admitted that Jesus is not coming in again.
The website quoted a spokesperson of the Vatican that it has officially announced that the second coming of Jesus, the only son of the God, may not happen now after all, but urged followers to still continue with their faith, regardless of the news.
It is reported that Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore told waterfordwhispersnews.com that this years 1,981st anniversary is to be the Vatican’s last in regards to waiting for the Lord to return to earth.

Republic Of The Mind And Thralldom Of Fear By Wole Soyinka

I have a cloud of sadness within me as I speak.  It has to do with an absence, a non-event which, both as a product in itself and as the product’s fate, could easily stand – among similar testimonies – as symbolic of the mission of this gathering, and a number of others like it, at least in all societies which value the exertion of the mind and products of the imagination.
Before I state what that non-event is, I wish to emphasize very strongly that this is not meant as an indictment of this Book Fair of which I consider myself a part, having been with it – albeit marginally - from its very inception. That would be grossly misleading. My remarks represent a personal wish, generated by the nation’s current crisis of existence, and extend beyond this present location and time, even though they do take off from there. They are a continuation of a discourse on which I embarked years ago - and formed part of my BBC Reith Lecture series – CLIMATE OF FEAR. That discourse was nudged awake quite fortuitously when I visited the London Book Fair three to four weeks ago, where the issue of censorship resurfaced. In any case, this absence I speak of, paradoxically, constitutes an integral part of the story of the Book, narrating the predicament of much of humanity in scattered parts of the world – and on so many levels, both specific and general.
