Why Antakshari is the Best Indian Game Ever

 It can transform the wallflower into a star

Even the besur can become a singer

Makes the long journey short – हँसते हँसते काट जाये रस्ते (in a different way than this of course)

Being good at antakshari instantly makes you cool

What would we do on a picnic without Antakshari?

…And how would the boys patao the girls?

It’s a message for the ‘अनजान’ ‘उपरवाला’

Uncle, aunty, are hugely impressed by your rendition of that bhajan! (you must be such a GOOD BOY!)

It’s an excuse to shake a leg

And no one minds if you don’t look that pretty doing it

Belting out songs starting from obscure letters – as magical as pulling a rabbit out of your hat (or a Kabootar or two)

If your ‘Antakshari Knowledge’ is good, everyone wants you on their team

You can sing a song from ‘Dh’? You genius You!

14.It’s a way to score over the mother in law

Antakshari is a way to confess your love –your दिल की बात

The variations are endless: Rain Songs, Songs about ‘ज़ुल्फें’

7 Reasons Why We Cherish Our Childhood More Than The Kind Of Life We Have Today

So I have been on this earth nearly 3 decades now. Being in a city like Delhi where there are buildings that measure their age by millennia, helps put that brief blink of the eye into perspective. We all have left several years of our lives trying to learn things, building our materialistic world – in our own way. We have stumbled, and we learned – with time. Dedicated to those sweet childhood memories which made us who we are today, here are ten facts why our childhood was so much fun: 1.  Back then we used to play for hours with those few toys that our parents had bought for us.  For girls, making up their Barbie dolls and setting up their virtual houses used to be the best play. And now we have everything.
