Most of us are born with a clear gender identity - either male or female. But, a Brown University study concluded that 1.7% of population develop in a way that varies from standard definition of male-female. Inter-sexuality is much more common than Down's Syndrome or Albinism.

A panel entitled "Feminist Economics and the question of good life" was led by Rinita and participated by Shoma A Chatterjee and Shaswati Ghosh and moderated by Consul General Beth Payne was arranged by the USIS on July 16, 2010.

It is an absolute pleasure to inform our readers  that the  Indian Television icon, Vinta Nanda has agreed to share her brilliant writeups with B'Khush. Enjoy this article by Vinta where she has beautifully expressed her views about the so called "Censorship" fiasco of the Indian Television.

All these years we have been lead to believe that it is Axe, the deodorant that makes women lose reason and maul decidedly ugly men, with their olfactory senses driving them to insanity. Calvin Klein’s Obsession, which was launched way back in 1986, promises you way beyond just hot-looking chicks.
