Bhaiyon-behenon, welcome to pure and pious beginning of the nine-day long Chaitra Navratri – the holy festival that marks the beginning of the new year. In short, dear millennials, it’s nine days of detoxification, and perhaps a shortcut to lose some extra kilos.
Apart from detoxifying, which btw is a great idea, Navratri is also (for some of you) a chance to redeem yourself, and celebrate the New Year all over again. #HelloDéjàVu
Though it’s only been three months into the New Year, for a few, the year couldn’t get over sooner.
So for those dear mitron of ours, let’s hope this Navratri brings in happiness, prosperity and good fortune. ’Cuz let’s face it – they need it more than anyone of us. Find out who these people are...
Kapil Sharma
The king of LOL Land is not a happy man these days. Kapil Sharma’s stardom has taken a dramatic soap-opera turn, and has fallen from 30,000 feet to ground zero. Well, at least for now!
So the only way Kapil can redeem his funny bone is for Sunil Grover to forgive the comedian-cum-actor, and make an entry on his popular talk-show or pray to every god this Navratri to make his New Year great again!
ATMs
If there is anyone or anything who deserves to celebrate Navratri this year, it’s the ATMs.
What a year it has been for ATMs. The poor machines were cursed, abused, and manhandled by us at the time of demonetisation. But the ATMs didn’t give up on us. As the time passed, they slowly continued to do their job till we were ready to accept them back in our lives and wait in queue to sing – Agar Tum Miljao (ATM)...
Vodafone-Idea Merger
It’s been a good year for Vodafone-Idea cellular. But bad news for Abhishek Bachchan.
It seem Abhishek needs to pray really hard for the following nine days to make sure this telecom joint venture does make him share the advertisement space with a pug or the ZooZoo, or worse, replace him altogether.
Not a good idea sirji!
Akhilesh Yadav

Akhilesh Yadav failed to peddle his party to a clear state election win. Along with the cycle, Yadav’s dream to reign in Uttar Pradesh again got punctured, and now, it seems his dream project – Gomti Riverfront – might just sink his political career too.
Bhaiyaji, this is your chance to do all the pujas and keep Yogi baba at bay.
Arvind Kejriwal
Arvind Kejriwal needs more than his jhadoogari topi to make him win the upcoming MCD polls in April. After a poor performance in Punjab and Goa, the Delhi Chief Minister is probably desperately looking for reasons to celebrate and not crib about his loss.
Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan could definitely do with a good year.
The Badshah has been deprived of Box Office success for the past couple of years. Let’s hope this Navratri makes King Khan Raees again. #FingersAndToesCrossed
