But, as always, we’ve picked out the best new shows and movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar and Vodafone Play you should watch this week to make your life a little simpler. Let the binge-watching begin.
1. MRS. SERIAL KILLER – NETFLIX
Over the weekend, you may have heard some conflicting reviews about the newest addition to Indian original movies on Netflix. However, we’d still recommend you to watch it for two major reasons. The first one is Manoj Bajpayee’s acting chops. The other; well, what better do you have to do over the weekend anyway? It tells the story of how a doctor is blamed for a series of murders and how his wife, played by Jacqueline Fernandez, decides to exact revenge.

9. BAAGHI 3 – DISNEY+ HOTSTAR
If you ever wondered what it would be like if the Rambo series was made in India, you need to look no further than the Baaghi franchise. Filled with action and stunt scenes to a tee, this will blow your mind away. Tiger Shroff’s mad parkour and martial arts skills are only the cherry on top. While the action is top-rated, we would advise you to stay as far as possible from the remix of the “Dus Bahaane” song that this movie gave the world.

10. BOMBSHELL – VODAFONE PLAY
This Oscar-nominated movie, produced by Lionsgate, tells the real story of three courageous women who exposed their CEO of sexually harassing them. For all those who’d like to get a deeper understanding of the origins of the #MeToo movement, this one is not to be missed. Honestly, this is the must-watch film among all the movies on Netflix, Vodafone Play and the other OTT platforms.
My sister received a job offer from Maruti Suzuki today. All she had to do to secure the position was to pay a refundable security deposit of Rs. 16,900/-, and she would land up with a job paying anywhere between Rs. 62,000/- per annum to Rs. 20,00,000/- per annum! Seems like a bargain, does it. Thankfully, my sister smelled a rat and forwarded the JD to me for comments. I am pasting the contents of the JD below: MARUTI SUZUKI INDIA LTD (MSIL) Head Office Maruti Suzuki, India Limited Nelson Mandela Road , Vasant Kunj, New Delhi-110070 Board no.46781000 Email: freshjobs_msil@live.com Tel: +919873128829 (10:00 AM TO 5:30 PM) REF: "MARUTI SUZUKI" DIRECT RECRUITMENTS OFFER.

I am keen on Microfinance and try to follow related news / articles as much as I can. Last year I had gone on a research project with some fellow students and stayed in villages for about 10 days. From the discussions we had with villagers and MFI operating in those villages, I got a feeling that though there are many MFIs now operating in India, they do not yet have a clear structure or system to operate with. Villagers further showed a tendency to recycle loans, and often waited for the government to waive off loans. Though life style of some of the villagers seemed to have improved, I did not see Microfinance making major impact on their means of income. If income was stagnant, improved lifestyle could mean only one thing - that loan was being used to meet household expenses, and not as working capital. It was thus no surprise when I came across this article: "Ketaki Gokhale in the WSJ: ' A credit crisis is brewing in Microfinance ' Here in Ramanagaram, a silk-ma
Given an option, I always chose window seat on the flight. reason being, I take childish delight in looking over the scenery, the snow white clouds, the ground where everything is minuscule, and far off objects. Thus it was no wonder that I found myself occupying a window seat on my return flight from Calcutta to Delhi last Tuesday, after having celebrated Diwali at home. Flight from Calcutta to Delhi is especially pleasurable as for a large part of the flight, you can look snow capped peaks of Himalaya jutting out of clouds at a distance. The view, for me, is breathtaking and spellbinding. I also like to look at the ground, whenever there is a break in clouds, and try to figure out farms, towns etc. I have noticed the landscape change over the years, from being pre dominantly green, to predominantly brown - the shade of soil. I am always disappointed at the pace with which green seems to be disappearing. This flight, however, had another surprise in store for me. My flight had to
