Posted on October 28, 2019November 6, 2019 by Karandeep Singh

Within our very difficult and hectic life style, there is very little time we use to relax ourselves. Whenever we take out time to relax, there are various things we do like roaming, long drives, playing games and many more. Out of all other choices, the one that stands out common in everyone and is most suitable for relaxation is watching movies.

Movies have always provided with the pleasure we want in our relaxation time. With us addicted too much to movies, creators have started using and apply many ideas to give the audience and the viewers pure satisfaction. Movies come in various genres like comedy, romance, sci-fi, mystery, thriller, action and many more. One genre that almost everyone likes to watch is horror. Horror movies have some charisma in them which has always been able to lure the audience.

So if someone recommends you to watch horror movies, which one are you going to watch? It is a tough question, right? With millions of horror cinemas being created, it is very difficult to find those ones which are worth watching now. To help you, here are the 7 scary horror movies that are actually worth watching. I bet you will not regret!

1. THE RING (2002)

IMDb – 7.1/10

If you want to watch a horror movie with some less big jump scares but equally creepy and horrifying, then I will recommend this one. A perfect storyline with some amazing acting and really creepy scenes make this one a must-watch.

The story is about a young journalist Rachel Keller who goes undercover to investigate about the mysterious death of her niece and three other teens, which is related to a videotape with a myth with it. The myth says that anyone who watches the tape is sure to die within one week of seeing it. But things go wrong when Rachel and her son watch it. If the myth is true, then she should run against time to safe herself and her son!

2. DON’T BREATHE (2016)

IMDb – 7.1/10

Just like the name, the movie is strange but seemingly worth watching. A perfect blend of some horrific scenes, some high jump scares and some mysteries that you-can’t-solve will make you add this film in your must-watch list.

The story revolves around three Detroit thieves who plan to rob a blind man with the huge amount of money he had got because of the death of his daughter in a car accident. As they plan to move to California with the money, the three of them enter the house according to their plan. They gas the man to sleep and begin the quest for money, without knowing the fact that the house is full of horror and mysteries. Will the three of them come out alive from the deadly trap of the blind man (who has so much other capabilities!)? Watch to find the answer. The man can listen everything, so do not breathe!

3. THE CABIN IN THE WOODS (2011)

IMDb – 7/10

It is a film to watch for if you are bored of seeing old and grown-ups in horror movies. It is all about teenagers of course!

The plot tells about five teenage friends who plan to go on a weekend to a cabin in the remote woods for some refreshment. As they reach there, they lose all contacts with the outer world. Everything is correct until the ceiling door flings itself open and the five of them go in to investigate. After finding many old relics and artifacts, one of the friends reads a book which brings a family of zombie killers to life. But things are not the same as they were earlier and there is much more going on than the eye can see!

4. IT CHAPTER ONE AND TWO (2017 and 2019)

IMDb – 7.3 and 6.8/10

This one is strongly not recommended for those who are weak hearted or hate and fear clowns. But believe me, if you want to watch a horror film series to see what horror means, watch these two.

The first installment shows us a city where small children start disappearing mysteriously, and an evil clown is behind it. Seven kids-united by their horrific encounters with the clown-unite themselves, named as the Losers club, and start the fight against the clown to end it. And they are somewhat successful! The second part shows that after being defeated by the seven kids, the evil clown Pennywise returns 27 years later to haunt the town again, with now being far more powerful. When all the children have grown up, will they be able to reunite, leave their scars of the past behind and end the clown once and for all? Watch it and find out!

5. KRAMPUS (2015)

IMDb – 6.1/10

If you are looking for a horror movie with a little comic hint to it, then you have got one.

The film is about a young boy who lives in a dysfunctional family and has his Christmas ruined, and hence he turns his back on it. As he loses his faith on Christmas, this brings back Krampus-an ancient evil who intends to punish the non-believers-back to life. Soon the festival of joy becomes a nightmare as all merry things get demonic powers of their own. Will the child be able to overcome the odds?

6. THE CONJURING (2013)

IMDb – 7.5/10

Perhaps the most successful and most terrific horror film in the history of Hollywood, and it has its series as well! And the incidents in the film are based on true events.

The plot tells the story of the Perron family who have come to live in a deserted farm house away from the city. Within a few days of their living, strange paranormal incidents start to happen. In desperation, they contact noted paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. And the Warrens find out that the whole area is affected by satanic forces which intent to kill the Perron family. With their power and abilities, will the Warrens be able to save the Perrons? Find out yourself. But be ready for some horrifying jump scares!

7. A QUIET PLACE (2018)

IMDB – 7.5/10

Well, the film is about aliens, but is as horrifying as a ghost horror movie.

The plot tells about a post-apocalyptic Earth, which has been invaded by extra-terrestrial species. These are blind, but can hear the slightest of the sounds. But somehow the Abott family has managed to survive. And it has been a long year since the aliens were last seen. Have they gone? The answer comes no when the family makes a sound and everything goes wrong. Now, since the species know about the hideout of the Abotts, will they be able to survive?…

Tips for a successful trip to the beach with your baby

Posted on October 22, 2019November 13, 2019 by Karandeep Singh

When it comes to spending time with family, we usually plan trips. And among all trips, the trip to a beach seems most appealing and fascinating. The thought of the cold waves splashing in the summer, the wind blowing by, the shade under a beach umbrella and others give us a perfect reason to have a nice trip to a beach.

Going to the beach with the family does not seem that annoying until the family includes small toddlers, i.e. the children. Taking children to the beach and then keeping them in control is a tough task. So, most often the beach trip is cancelled due to the presence of children in the family. But the question is, why should the trip be cancelled if you can spend a peaceful time on the beach even if your children are around?

Here are some tips on how to have a peaceful and tension free time on the beach with your children –

1. Go early, or go late

Why go early? Why go late? There is an answer to both of these questions. The morning beach time and the evening one are the best time to visit to the beach when you have plans to take your kids along. It is because if you visit to the beach during the mid-afternoon, you will face two major problems. First one is the summer heat and the next is the nap time.

You know that a small nap is necessary for the kids. But with the heat scorching during the afternoon, I do not think your kids are going to get that. This may cause problems physically and mentally. So, always plan to visit to the beach in the early morning. So pack up the night before and leave as soon as the sun rises. If you miss, do not worry.

The evening time is also great to visit to a beach. It is satisfying to see the sun set and feel its warmth. And most people leave as the sun goes down, so you will very well have a little more space!

2. Protection from the heat is important

Long gone are the days when we used to go to the beach for the tan. And your small ones will never like the tan on their skin. And there is no way you can protect them from the scorching heat of the sun.

The only way is to take some kind of covering. You can take beach umbrellas, or tents, just take something to save your child from the heat and the sand blowing winds. Both are not good anyway! And you can also take some sun screen lotions or SPFs for the process. Just apply it on the body of your children and they are good to go.

3. Be hydrated, fill up your tummy and be cool

When you are grinding yourself and the children are having a jolly time in the sun, the body is surely going to put the brakes. The feeling of tiredness and dehydration is going to knock on the door.

So every time on a trip to the beach, take some hydrating substances with you. Too much science? Ok. Always try to take a portable cooler with you. You are not going to need it much, but your smaller ones will love it. The cool wind will freshen them up quickly. And also pack some fresh fruits, cold water, coconut water, ice-cream, popsicles and other cool items with you. This will surely bring back the energy. So take a cool break in a time gap and you will be happy!

4. Do not waste time, pack the night before

As said earlier, the best time to visit to the beach is early morning or the evening. So, you need to pack up the important stuffs earlier.

Prior to the trip, make a plan and list all the things that are going to be necessary on the beach. And gather and pack all the things the night before. There are many people who have a habit of remembering. Just at the time of leaving, some item or the other pops up into their mind, and hence, you will surely get late.

The longer you will spend time gathering up stuffs just before leaving, the later you are going to reach and the hotter the sun will be. So, before leaving, give your mind a break, and just leave! And if you prepare the night before, you are not going to regret during your trip that you forgot to bring something or the other. And that would be great!

5. Give your time to your kids

We are talking about how to enjoy on the beach along with our toddlers. So, as much as we enjoy, our smaller ones should also, right?

SO, give some of your time to the kids. Play with them, build sand castles, fascinate them, take them into the water with them and do whatever you feel your kid will like.

And if you are planning to have a quite time in the beach, you should know that your kids will not let you sit back and relax. You have to run behind them, see whether they are swallowing the sand, or teasing any crabs! Spending time with your children will make them happy and you are going to burn a lot of calories by running behind them!

6. Organize some entertainment yourself

Yes, you have to do so. If you are trying to enjoy on the beach, along with your little buddies, then you have to organize some entertainment for them. You can play games with them, like challenge them for a digging competition- take a shovel and give them as well, and tell them to dig and find as many as shell they can- and make them busy. Or take some props like beach ball and play with them. I know you want some peace as well. But if you spend a little time with the children, they will become busy afterwards and you will be on your own again! Or you can play songs on any high-quality outdoor speakers and dance with them, either on the sand or near the shore.

7. Enjoy, and just enjoy

The last and most important task is enjoying. Whenever you are going on a trip with your toddlers, leave all your works, responsibilities and tensions behind in your house. Go in an empty mind and give your time to your children. Take photos with them and play with them. If you are around, your children will be safe and will be away from mischief! In that way, the small ones are at least not going to swallow the sand!…

12 Best Vehicles for Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse

Posted on October 17, 2019November 6, 2019 by Karandeep Singh

I know that the topic seems somewhat funny to you. It indeed is! In the 21^st century where science rules over our mind, it is difficult to imagine a situation like some zombie apocalypse.

For those rarest people who do not know what a zombie is, it is a human (sort of!) but it is dead. In simple words, when dead human start walking around you and become predators, they are called zombies. And when these zombies start gathering in hordes, it is called zombie apocalypse. It is surely hard to imagine a situation like zombie apocalypse in today’s world. But is there any harm if we discuss about the situation? Let our imagination come to life for a moment!

We have seen zombies in movies and TV series till now, but have you ever imagined what will you do if you wake up one morning and there is an apocalypse in your city? You cannot stay at a place; you have to keep moving and moving on foot will be really risky. And your everyday vehicles will not do the job as well. Here are 12 vehicles which are sure to help you survive in a zombie apocalypse –

1. CHEVROLET SILVERADO BLACK OPS

Yep, the name is really the one used in movies, but this truck will very well be helpful. As a matter of practical fact, the Chevy is a solid mini truck specially built for unknown emergencies. And an apocalypse is surely a big emergency. The Silverado Black ops is a fully loaded 4×4 truck which is powered by a heavy 5.3 liter EcoTec3 V8 engine had has nearly 355 ponies of power. Added to these are the solar power pack, Lower body armor, raised suspension, And if you add your things like First aid kit, a plenty of food and water, you are not going to die too soon!

2. FORD E-53 TRUCK

To be frank, your everyday cars are not going to run for long in an apocalyptic world, and those which you are going to use to survive will not be easy to drive. And the Ford E-53 comes in that list.

But, in the situation of a zombie attack, this truck is surely going to be a big gift for you, if you have one. It is literally like a loaded military gun running on wheels. Powered by a very common engine, it may not sound very appealing, but the other features will help. It is enough spacious for you to carry your supplies, or for your living, or even for trapping the naughty zombies! It also comes with inbuilt repairablr parts and is very easy to repair.

3. M1 ABRAMS

No, it is not a car or a bus or a truck. It is a tank, a military tank. And since the fuel in tanks is much limited, it is surely not for daily use. But in case of hand-to-hand with the zombies, you will not get any better option.

It is a very common tank in America, but obviously getting a tank is a lot more difficult than thinking of having one. But, in a post apocalyptic world, who is going to stop you from running into the military bases and getting one M! for yourself? In that situation, do not think and go for one!

4. KETTENKRAD HK 101

This one was used by the Germans during World War II, and can be depended upon. The Kettenkrad is somewhat the addition of a tank in a motorcycle. Or it is a compatible tank in the form of a motorcycle.

Very less of these are left in the present time, and these are either in museums or with some rich collectors, so you have to rather find it in the former for your safety. The Kettenkrad is well known for its ability to penetrate through deep forests where cars and even trucks can’t go. It can also tow a small trailer, so you can store your supplies as well.

5. 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID

There is one more Ford creation in the list. It may seem as a normal car in first sight, but is a really reliable one if you want to survive in a post apocalyptic world within your budget (there are some who still think of budget even during dangers!).

If you have one of this in your garage, then you can be safe for a really long time. The US News rates this 9.4 outta 10 in case of reliability. And the truth is that it is far more reliable and safe then other cars in a budget. This really simple and easy to repair car is powered by a hybrid engine with an average of 38 MPG. It has solid built and you can slam into some undead if you want, and has enough space for supplies and people. And you can want some extra protection on it if you want added protection as well!

6. 2017 KIA NIRO HYBRID

When you are stuck in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, what will you prefer, a lovely long drive or a safe journey to your survival place? Obviously you will choose the latter. The Niro is sure to start and take you to your destination.

It is swift running car with an engine that revs it up to 50 MPG, and has some advanced safety features and is spacious as well. It has great fuel efficiency and will provide enough speed as compared to the undead chasing you. But be aware not to crash into any of them!

7. MERCEDES MAYBACH G650 LANDAULET

It is a big name right? But just as the name, the car will save you big time as well. If you want to enjoy your life amidst the deadly brain eaters, you can drive safely and comfortably in this Merc G650.

It is Mercedes’ proven G-Class and it has whopping 621 horsepower run engine and has enough ground clearance to drive through all kinda terrains. And it will give you enough speed to leave the uninvited guests far behind.

8. GIBBS AMPHIBIANS BISKI

You know what amphibians are, don’t you? This motorbike can run on ground and sail in the water as well!

It is a two-wheeler with 80 mph speed on ground and 37 mph on water. So while running if you have a lake ahead, don’t wait and just jump in. By the way, switching from bike to ski takes less than five seconds. So, you have enough speed to outrun your foes!

9. RIPSAW EV2

It is a stylish mixture of car and tank, but also has various other saving features. What makes it unique is its durability and comfort. It travels very fast as it is powered by 600 diesel-fueled horsepower. The outer armor can thwart zombies face down and the 12 inch suspension travel can run through any substance in your way, I repeat right through any obstacle. You get comfort with the leather seats and LED lighting inside the thick armor, and safety comes free.

10. GIBBS HUMDINGA

Did I just feature another Gibbs on the list? Yes, I did. Incidentally, the Humdinga is amphibious as well. But if you are planning to take your family with you, then you should prefer this.

With the roads full of zombies running mad everywhere, you can prefer the waterway too. And this beast gives you high flying speeds on the land, and more than 30 mph on water. So, take your family in, push a button and sail through the waters where zombies can’t swim!

11. MERCEDES BENZ ZETROS 2733 6×6

You must have seen the Hollywood movie Transformers right? If you have, then you must know Optimus Prime. The Zetros is the real life version of it.

The 6×6 truck can keep you safe in almost any environment and is comfortable from inside as well. It boats a 7.2 liter diesel inline six engine with 326 horsepower rev and 959 pound-feet of torque. Inside the beast you get heated marble floors, a shower, beds, two LED Flat screen TVs and all those things that will make you forget the cruel world outside. Everything is powered by diesel generator, so as long as you can fuel it, you will have your second home to live!

12. LOCAL MOTORS RALLY FIGHTER

If we are already talking about Transformers, then let’s continue with it. This vehicle has featured in the Transformers: Age of Extinction as a black ops unit of the CIA.

Why is it so reliable? It is open-roofed, has Corvette engine, has Ford truck rear end (it is the truth!) and has enough ground clearance to mow through the road walkers. It is really stylish, but is built with rather simple parts which will be easy to find and replace if it breaks down anyway. You have to just rev up the engine and run through the brain eaters with style!…

8 CITIES TO VISIT IN EUROPE

Posted on October 13, 2019November 6, 2019 by Karandeep Singh

Europe is a country of many stories.

Rome

Rome had first been discovered in 753 BC which is almost 3000 years ago. The city has encapsulated millions of historic events and witnessed empires rise and fall. So rich and plentiful is the history, almost every building in Rome has a story. One would witness the people of Rome indulging in their unique cultural traditions and practices which are for the most part, rich in religion. With about 900 churches spread across the city, devotion and pilgrimage is a common sight. Rome is also known for its art in it’s many many forms. Statues, sculptures and elegant architecture is a visual treat, and they’re everywhere. Roman artists also specialize in paintings and mosaic work. That’s not all, Rome an important fashion capital and home to one of the best dressed people and in the world. And last but not the least, CInecitta studios, which is the largest film making studio in Europe.

Barcelona

Most people in the world recognise Barcelona from the most popular European club – Football Club Barcelona. It is a stunningly developed city with beautiful panoramic views. This beauty was also previewed in the movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. It has a long coastline spread across the Mediterranean Sea. Long coastline means beaches and this city has one of the cleanest beaches of the continent. The city is pocketed by the mountain range of Collserla, which offer a fantastic visual spectacle. Although Barcelona is one of the safest cities in Europe, the most commonly stolen items are passports and wallets, so beware the Barcelonian pickpocketers.

Venice

A city with many names, City of Bridges, Floating City, City of Water. A city with many titles as well, the most prestigious of them all being, The Most Beautiful City in the World. Venice is not a city, it is simply paradise. Most people do not know this, but Venice is actually a cluster of almost 120 islands, connected by bridges and canals. Because the city is surrounded by water, there are massive ports bringing in ships and boats. Every street in Venice looks like a pretty painting. The architecture is inspired by Gothic style which is a tasteful combination of straight and curved arches. For the literature nerds out there, there are thousands of novels, essays and plays, both fictional and non fictional. The contest among foreigners to buy a house in Venice has become so high that residents are forced to move to other affordable parts of Italy. A house in Venice will set you back by at least a million US dollars.

Istanbul

Istanbul quite literally is as exotic as it sounds. A city connected by sea, you will surely make your way across town in a boat or two. As you’re sailing in the beautiful sun, you can see groups of local fisherman looking to catch some fish from the sea. When you reach land, there is a street food joint on the corner of every street. The Turkish food is healthy, fresh and de-li-cious. Donor kebab (delicious Turkish meat sandwich) and Pomegranates are available everywhere. The city is always in company of tourists and tour guides accompanying them. It is understandable to need a tour guide. The city has a great deal of treats to lay your eyes on. Innumerous museums like the TopKapi Palace and the Hagia Sofia are beautiful caves telling us tales of their past. Magnificent churches and mosques full of devotees in prayer. Irresistible shopping markets spread across at least a couple of blocks in the streets of Istanbul. After the sun sets, people head out to hang out in the streets and in the clubs. Smoking is very common here. A day in Istanbul leaves you utterly happy and hopelessly exhausted.

Monaco:

Before you go at me saying Monaco is not a city, a city-State is what it is called. It is an exceptional environment of excellence and extravagance. It is home for many successful racing drives including World Champions Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic and many more. The city is hugged by the hills on one side and blends into the sea on the other. Apart from the luxurious houses, enormous yachts and breathtaking skyscrapers there is something even more special, The Monaco F1 Grand Prix. It is built around the city. The otherwise public roads are closed for the race. Gambling was introduced here in the late 18th century and not surprisingly, Monaco has one of the world’s richest casinos in the world. If your pockets are deep as the ocean, Monaco is the place to live. Budget travellers do have affordable hotels but pretty much everything else costs a lot. Calculate your expenses wisely!

6. Paris:

Undoubtedly the most well known city of Europe, the

Capital of France is a colony of everlasting beauty. Beauty lies in the form of the glorious past, the evolving present and the exciting future. The Notre Dame Cathedral and the Old Palace are longstanding testaments of the past. Not to forget to mention the one and only Louvre Museum housing the Mona Lisa amongst other masterpieces. Of course, The Eiffel Tower. We see too many pictures of it but seeing it for real is a different experience. You will awe at the sheer height and structure. The Seine river flows through the city. You can take a boat ride tour of the city making it an unforgettably beautiful experience. The fashion capital of the world also has a plethora of shopping spaces for every price. The Eiffel Tower bejewels the night as the city shines.

Amsterdam

This one is or the party people! “Amsterdam is infamous for quite lot of the right reasons” is something the hippie local crowd would say. The city is quite notorious as well. Sketchy coffee shops that sell marijuana and a street called Red Light District that encourages sexual entertainment is all a part of the city. Amsterdam began locally brewing their own beer as they felt the corporate brewerie’s offering wasn’t great. The nightlife is never ending as parties go well into the morning hours. If you aren’t going to Amsterdam for the rave, there still is a lot more to it.. It is a well built modern city with its own displays of history. There are many museums that will help you catch up on the history of this city, especially the VIncent Van Gogh Museum. A cruise tour around the city is a relaxing and eye opening experience. You can also rent a bike and join the bike tour around the city. The Jordan District is a beautiful little colony branched by roads and rivers. Here you can take a boat ride, explore the street art galleries, chill at cafes by the serene river and unwind.

Santorini

In place of now the city of Santorini, was once a large active volcano which had caused one of the biggest eruptions on earth. This eruption caused deep collective deposition of ash around the island running hundreds of meters deep. The city is built around what seems like a valley encompassed by hills. This island with immense beauty has traveller flying in from all over the globe. Tourism is the primary source of Santorini’s income and has vastly improved the economy as well as the population. It has got some picture perfect beaches too. The Red Beach which gets its name from the sand that is red due to its volcanic rock origin. Santorini is also known for the beautiful black sand beaches. It is known for its delicious tomatoes and tasteful wine. Other places to explore include ancient settlements dating back to 7th century BC like the Ancient Thira and the Akrotiri Archaeological site. This picturesque city is the perfect getaway destination to enjoy the beauty of nature and modern architecture coming together.…

The 15 Essential Movies Every Man should see at least once

Posted on October 5, 2019November 6, 2019 by Karandeep Singh

Movies in the present world have become an essential part of our lives. We can’t imagine kicking the butt of our boredom without the movies. There are various reasons about why we should watch movies, and I hope the reasons are enough that you should let yourself and your kids watch every type of movies.

There are about hundreds of thousands of movies out there, and these are of various languages, genres, companies and countries. And you can’t watch all of them in your lifetime. Reports say that about three thousand to five thousand movies are released everyday all around the world. How many can you watch? To help you, here are 15 essential movies that you must watch at least once before dying –

1. The Departed (2006)

This one is Leonardo DiCaprio’s one of the first films, and being a cult classic, it is a must watch.

The story tells about young police officers who just graduate from the academy, and both are advised to follow the two different sides of law. One of them is appointed as an undercover agent to work with a deadly mobster and gather evidences for his arrest. And his true identity is known to only two of his senior officers.

The story is about a Thief Danny Ocean who has just been released from the prison and he seeks his old mate Rusty for a job. The job is to rob a vault which houses the cash of three casinos of Las Vegas, owned by the ruthless Terry Benedict. And it should in the night when the vault will have $150 million but only for some moments. So they make a team of people with various abilities and name it Ocean’s Eleven. Everything is going as per plan when Rusty finds out that Ocean’s ex-wife is Terry’s right hand. SO will Ocean be able to rob the money or will he get carried away by emotions?

3. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)

The film stars our beloved Ironman Robert Downey Jr and believe me you will not be able to recognize him unless you are a true fan.

The story is about a small thief who tries to escape from the police after an unsuccessful robbery, and accidentally gets submitted in an audition for the lead of a film as a detective. When he is invited to a party, he becomes friends with a private detective who invites him to join him for an investigation for developing his film character.

It was on 10^th April 1912 when she boarded a luxury ship named Titanic with her mother and her fiancé, and falls in love with an artist during the journey. When everything is going good, the Titanic enters the Antarctic and during the journey hits a humongous iceberg. The rest is about how the accident made it the first and last journey of the Titanic.

Do not go on the year when it was released, because the movie has lot to offer. The lead of the film is Bruce Lee, so I do not think you need a bigger reason to watch it.
