"sweet" Gesture ?


As the people of India and Pakistan happily celebrate the festival of Eid today, things are in stark contrast at the Wagah-Attari Border.Unlike other occasions when the Border Security Force (BSF) jawans exchange sweets, Pakistani soldiers reportedly refused to accept sweets from their Indian counterparts, amid high ceasefire tension at the border.

BSF officials told ANI that their Eid greetings did not get a response from Pakistan. BSF deputy inspector general MF Farooqui said the exchange of sweets was decided at a meeting of officers of both border guards. "This time, the matter was discussed but we did not get any positive response from that (Pakistan) side. We also did not pursue the matter," he told IANS.


He added, "It is true that sweets have not been exchanged this Eid... Till date, the tradition of exchange of sweets has always been followed... We want peace at the border and we also maintain efforts of cooperation every time... We will keep wishing them on every festival."

This year-old sweet tradition has been followed by both nations, barring this one time in 2014 when tension escalated along the LoC. However, Pakistan resumed the tradition by sharing sweets on Pakistan Day on March 23.

As the news spread, Indians on Twitter were furious and quick to react.

Big Boss: Nothing but a pointless show with a stupid host

In the midst of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case and the nepotism debate, people have decided to boycott Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 14. Salman has been bearing the brunt of these trolls ever since he has shared the first teaser. In nutshell the show is nothing but a bunch of loosers who were kinda popular for a very short amount of time for one or the other reason! Dhinkchak Pooja.. seriously?  Salman - Host? Nope! Favouritism Moreover, the host of the show, Mr. Salman Khan is a very judgmental person, and he expects and wants everyone to respect him, and if one doesn't, we can see list of people who went on record to say how Salman destroyed their careers!!! Well, Salman thinks that he has the right to pass judgment over those people, and is surely biased when it comes to making his judgemental remarks. Big Boss - Negative | Negative | Negative It might have been entertaining for many people but have you ever thought that what value does it add to your life? What are...

RAISE YOUR PAW :- #StopYulin2015

Many of you might be wandering what’s this Yulin festival all about. Peeps, Over 10,000 dogs every year in southern china are tortured alive, skinned alive, boiled alive, even cut/stabbed and then been ultimately eaten. This `festival` is not a festival as the name suggests, The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is, contrary to what many might believe, not even a tradition. It was initiated only in the 1990's by the corrupt looking to find a way to profit off the selling of lychee. Perhaps you might be wandering why the slaughter of Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Ducks and all the Fish don’t get so much of focus too , guys the case here is not of being eaten and killed but the Dogs are killed for the "pleasure" of taste and "diversity" of meats. These animals are tortured as much as possible, deliberately. They are skinned alive, and then they are cooked alive. Again, let me repeat that the torture is deliberate. In fact, it is the entire point of the dog & cat me...
