Hold on to your seats very tightly. The world is spinning out of control. And guess what? The madness doesn’t seem to stop anytime soon.
It’s been a cracker of a month. So much has happened in India and in the world that it’s enough to make you believe that this is the beginning of an apocalypse. No kidding!
So what happened to our world post Diwali? It squeezed the diwala out of the common man. *Poof*!
Let’s Make America ‘Diwala’

Now, the United States of America has been Trumped! You did this to yourself. You voted for an arrogant, ignorant, dangerous and racist man to be the face of the nation. The man who wants to build a wall around America but not around his legs. A man who probably doesn’t know that ‘Hindus’ alone don’t represent India.
All the best guys, you probably just created a perfect recipe of doomsday!
Dark Night Rises!
After praying to goddess Lakshmi to shower some money on Diwali, Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned out to be a party-pooper and turned the Diwali festivities into a diwala. Modi on 8 November shocked his mitron and announced the death of the existing Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.
Phir kya tha... Some bhakts crawled out of their complacent den and hunted for places to park their black money. Meanwhile, the not-so-lucky ones are probably staring at their Rs 500 and hoped it’ll magically change into Rs 100. Sau sweet!
Delhi Sick!
Smog on… Hai ye waqt ka ishaara
Smog on… Har lamha pukaara
Smog on….Yuhin dekhta hai kya tu
Smog on…. Achchhi hawa naa milegi dobaraa...

Deep breaths, Delhi, but you have just reached the stage of ‘Airpocalypse’. Delhiites woke up to thick layers of smog last week, making it difficult for them to soak in some wintery sun and flaunt their kala chashmas.
The Delhi smog not just stole away the Lajpat Nagar aunty’s fashion thunder but also the ‘dirty city’ crown from Beijing.
The Nation Wants To...

An apocalypse has probably also hit one of India’s leading English channels as their Editor-In-Chief resigned after steering the ship for the last 10-odd years. It seems bursting patakas on Diwali wasn’t enough that the man in news decided to drop the bomb in his office. *Boom*!
The nation wants to know: What happens to the channel and the famous debate show, once the newsmaker makes an exit?
Toblerone’s Shrinkflation?

Guys, apocalypses are really here.
The biggest chocolate nightmare has come true. The Swiss makers have redesigned Toblerone and it’s not good news at all for chocolate lovers. The big Alpine peaks have shrunk into lowland grasslands.
