As a Whackk! faithful would know, we’re about to complete two full years of Whackk! soon. About time we let you know about a teensy little secret. People, people who’re not a part of the Whackk! team, often wonder about how we decide on our cover stories and other articles. Do we have super cool secret meetings at secret hide-outs and stuff? We’ll burst that bubble right now. NO, we don’t. Generally our cover stories are a reflection of an event or the general mood of...

The Whackk! team was out for a high spirited night lately, and we came across this fantastic Australian couple. We had a nice time chatting with them and really hit it off. The best thing about this young mid-twenties couple is that they’re not tourists. I’d prefer to call them explorers. It is implicit in the way they travel. Wherever they go, they start from the grassroots and explore the real essence of a city. No 5 star hotels and expensive tourist sight-seeing packages for...
Last week I came across this article in the newspaper which should have shattered a few misconceptions in our country. Without getting into the details of the article I shall give you the gist of it. An extensive research conducted across 73 countries put our education system at the second worst of the lot. Don’t believe me? Believe me man!
We have been led to believe through all these years that our education system produces some of the best brains in the world. And that we’re in...
Last year, the Choo Awards created quite a stir. We even got calls from a lot of winners threatening to sue us before we could say ‘Lawyer’. But as it turns out most of them were too cheap to spend a fortune on more lawsuits. Or maybe they got scared of us.
We were really thinking of making this a grand TV thing with performances by KRK and all. But then budget kam pad gaya. So here are, celebrating the lame. Presenting, the Choos of 2011 :
The Biggest Wannabe of the Year Award

Parents. The source of most of our knowledge, behaviour and character traits. We are but a reflection of our childhood throughout the rest of our lives. The way you’re brought up has a direct impact on how big a jerk you turn out to be in life. How is it that we could ever forget about honouring the very people who made me, you and all of us, the pimps we are today?
Have you ever noticed how friends from different backgrounds have a somewhat stereotypical nature? Somewhat. Yes, I’m...
There are milestones in life. And then, there are milestones in life.
No?
OK.
At Whackk! we have prettttty much covered all aspects of a person’s life. Except the academics. I mean, we are a “youth magazine” and all that, but, we never ever, ever, ever gave advice related to academics or did anything related to that.
(Erm. We lie. We did try to do that long ago. But, then realised how inherently flawed the whole concept of “clueless students giving other clueless...

Facebook’s latest feature, the timeline, as Chritsopher Poshin David (a writer/intern here, no biggie) says, “is some pretty decent shit!”
We couldn’t agree more. But then we activated on our own profiles and soon realised this is just one big ploy by the Facebook people to make it easier for everyone to see our extremely embarrassing and immature pasts. When we still used words like ‘lolzzz’.
This new thing got us thinking. Thinking about all those...
If you haven’t been shaken up by what the government has been doing with your money for the last few years then these are the possibilities :
a) You are a Delhi-ite, chilling out in your uppity circles with strong political connections and a filthy rich dad. (yes, we love taking digs at Delhiites)
b) You’ve been smoking up a lot.
Either way, you have been made to believe that the world is a picture perfect place, or you just couldn’t care less.
The other type, the...
Bollywood was never known for great acting or stories or direction or for that matter anything that great. Yes, sometimes they do manage to come out with gems of the first order. Although, most of the times they come out with shittiness of the first order.
But one thing Bollywood is really good at is creating some majorly kickass villains. These Villians look, speak and do so much evil-ness that one a 3 month old baby who does not understand a thing about this world will have shit inducing...
The advent of smart phones like the iPhone and Androids has shook up the gadget market like never before. You know why?
‘Coz that shit is friggin’ AWE-some.
And what’s the best thing about these smart phones?
The APPS!!
As soon as these phones hit the market, so did a lot of interesting apps. Since then the number of purely kick-ass apps have only gone up. From the useful (texting sweet nothings like “Love You” or “Miss You” or...
