The clock will start ticking soon!

Hey guys!
You all must be aware that the Indian television series '24' is back with season 2. Season 1 was a huge success. Anil Kapoor who plays the male lead in the show, had been featured in the American version of the same show. He bought the official rights to India. And this was the first time the show had been adapted from the American version. Season 1 aired from October to December 2013. This season revolved around the mission to save the country within just 24 hours. The genre was mostly political thrill. The concept was as appealing as the show.



The cast and their individual performances were praise worthy. The show hits every mark of excitement and precision from the very first minute. The show brings in a sense of thrill and heart gripping action sequences and crazy suspense with extremely well set locations and twists. The story was innovative with the "24 hour" deadline. But what sets the benchmark was the performance of the male lead Anil Kapoor who plays the anti terrorist unit agent, Jai Singh Rathod. The different roles he played throughout one single day were set apart from each other with sheer excellence. The role of the father, the role of the husband, the role of a loyal Indian citizen who has to save his country. They were all done with not only precision but with a sense of reality which kept us glued to this action packed series.



 It is considered to be one of the most expensive TV shows ever produced in India. The show also aired in Australia.
The subplots and individual stories of all the characters were shown beautifully. The cast had major names like Mandira Bedi, Anita Raj, Ajinkya Deo, Neil Bhoopalam, Tisca Chopra etc with Anupam Kher and Shabana Azmi having important roles.




The show ended with a heart touching climax, but now is back with season 2. The shooting started in February 2016, and will telecast on Colors TV soon. The new season will mark the return of the previous cast with a similar story line, Some renowned actors like Ashish Vidyarthi, Sikander Kher, Sakshi Tanwar have joined the cast and have prominent roles in the show. Season 2 promises to be more stylish and daunting.
Eagerly waiting for it to launch, lets just hope it doesn't disappoint. The first look of the new season has already been released. Watch it below.


Make sure you don't miss the first episode because each episode counts. Till then

360 degree panorama!


Hey guys!

What if you could see what’s around you without having to move your neck? And what if we tell you that is possible! Yes you heard that right.

All you have to do is fit a camera that supports a 360 degree view. It is that simple.

360 degree videos are all the rage right now. It is a different form of storytelling. It is amazing to watch a video from different angles. The view is pretty epic and fun to watch. You need a special camera to capture the footage, as normal cameras cannot capture a wide field of view. The camera is not that cheap either. And creating and sharing the content is not easy. A 360 camera can also be created by arranging many cameras (like gopros) together in a manner that it can capture the panoramic view.















These videos are most fun to watch with a VR(virtual reality) headset. If you are into gaming, you are in for a treat. It won’t be very long when you’ll be able to take playing a game to the next level, like the Sony PlayStation VR. It is said that VR will change the future of the gaming world. 360 videos are being hyped today, to adopt the fast growing VR technology.



Since March, 2015 YouTube introduced 360 degree videos. Google wants VR to be accessible to everyone. So, watch the videos down below to understand this amazing technology.The quality is a little low right now, unless you watch them in really high resolutions. If you are watching them from your laptop or pc, you can tap and drag to get the entire view. Try watching them from your phone or tab, it is cooler that way, you just have to move your phone while watching.

Ever wondered how it feels like when you are paragliding?
