    It's true! The world really doesn't make much sense right now.

    If it wasn't for the Covid-19 pandemic, the forest fires of Australia, or global warming, it's the war now!

    Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine has been catastrophic for the country, with many citizens, soldiers losing their lives, and many escaping to other countries in search of safety.

    Well, as things turn out, one of the many people running from the country is a Hollywood superstar. 
    The actor has worked in many A-list Hollywood films through the years, and guess what, he's a two-time Oscar winner as well. 
    It's Hollywood biggie Sean Penn, who has done movies like Mystic River, I Am Sam, Carlito's Way, The Gunman, and Milk.

    So, how did the actor get stuck in Ukraine at the time when the war actually broke out? Sean is one actor who is renowned for carrying out several international humanitarian and anti-war efforts over the years and even founded the non-profit disaster relief organization CORE in response to the 2010 earthquakes in Haiti.

    The actor, who has been shooting for a documentary in the country since November 2021, was in Ukraine recently to take photos of what would be the frontlines in the Donetsk region.
    According to reports, the photos from his upcoming documentary produced by VICE Studios show him visiting the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
    It is reported that Penn had even condemned Putin's decision to invade Ukraine by calling it "a brutal mistake of lives taken and hearts are broken" in a statement made to USA TODAY.
    "If he (Putin) doesn't relent, I believe Mr Putin will have made a most horrible mistake for all of humankind. (Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people) have risen as historic symbols of courage and principle. Ukraine is the tip of the spear for the democratic embrace of dreams. If we allow it to fight alone, our soul as America is lost." Penn said.
    Soon after that Penn was praised by many including the Office of the President in Ukraine.
    "Sean Penn demonstrates the courage that many others, especially western politicians lack. The director specially came to Kyiv to record all the events that are currently happening in Ukraine and to tell the world the truth about Russia's invasion of our country." the President's office wrote on Facebook.
    However, with things not looking to get better any time soon, Penn has now confirmed that he has evacuated to Poland.
    The actor shared a picture of himself on Monday as he carried a suitcase while walking along a highway.
    Myself & two colleagues walked miles to the Polish border after abandoning our car on the side of the road. Almost all the cars in this photo carry women & children only, most without any sign of luggage, and a car their only possession of value. pic.twitter.com/XSwCDgYVSH

    Well, all we can do is applaud him and all those who are fighting for the freedom of Ukraine.  
    May sense prevail and here is praying this war comes to an end soon!

    If your love for coffee is synonymous with ours, you’ll agree with one thing: Facing mornings without the hit of cuppa caffeine feels like a doctor going to his clinic without his stethoscope. 

    But we’d also accept that a coffee alternative won’t be such a bad idea. The fifth cup of this fuel can set you off on a high-octane spinout. Caffeine surges blood pressure and adrenaline but constricts blood vessels, causing overstimulation.   
    To avoid all kinds of shaky sensations, switch to these healthier beverages that’ll keep you from zoning out for the most part of the day.
    1. Matcha TeaMatcha, a popular type of green tea you’ve already heard enough about, is a richer source of antioxidants. Its regular consumption can assist your body in reducing the risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and body fat. 
    Remember that with matcha tea, you’re consuming the whole leaf so to reduce caffeine intake, you need to be careful about the quantity of the powder you add to your water. Depending on how it’s prepared, it may have more or less caffeine than coffee.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3094__
    2. Golden MilkGolden milk is caffeine-free. Along with turmeric, you can add other refreshing spices such as black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger to your milk. 
    Turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory properties due to curcumin and black pepper helps your body’s ability to absorb curcumin. It’s a tasty, healthy and invigorating drink that increase alertness.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3095__
    3. Chicory CoffeeMuch like coffee beans, chicory roots are roasted, ground and brewed before being used as a hot beverage. Fibre-rich chicory coffee is good for digestion and for a healthy gut. Its taste is synonymous with coffee but you get all those benefits without caffeine. 
    You can also consume the powder in the form of a supplement to boost immunity.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3096__
    4. Rooibos TeaUnlike coffee and tea, South African red tea aka rooibos tea is low in tannin antioxidants which can interfere with iron absorption. Red tea is packed with enough antioxidants to help protect you against heart disease and reduce the risk of cancer. 
    Rooibos has a slightly sweet, fruity flavour, which we think you’d like early in the morning.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3097__
    5. Kombucha Made by fermenting black tea with bacteria, yeast and sugar, Kombucha is a rich source of probiotics, antioxidants and acetic acid. It can also help boost your immune system, improve cholesterol and blood glucose levels in people with diabetes.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2923__
    6. Apple Cider VinegarApple cider vinegar is a result of fermenting crushed apples using yeast and bacteria. It contains acetic acid, which may help control blood sugar levels. ACV is a beverage you cannot consume without diluting first. Doing so can burn your mouth and throat. 
    Add honey or any other sweetener you prefer because just ACV and water will give you a bit of a kick.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3098__
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3099__
    7. Lemon WaterIf you don’t want to complicate your kitchen trips early in the morning, just switch to lemon water. Start your day with a dose of vitamin C. It’s caffeine-free and all set to give your immune system a boost, protect your skin from sun damage and assist your body in creating collagen. 
    Feel free to infuse the water with other fruits and veggies like mint, cucumber, basil, watermelon etc.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3100__
    The BottomlineThere’s no denying that coffee has its own health benefits but all of them might not be a necessity for your body.
    Try switching to coffee alternatives for the extra dose of antioxidants, probiotics and acetic acid. They’re all healthier so there’s no reason for you to not give them a shot.

    One of the greatest pains in life is that of losing someone you love. Not that death isn’t inevitable, but no matter how much peace you try to make with the concept of loss, it creates a hollow in your chest that almost nothing can make up for. 
    Now imagine that kind of a loss, that pain and multiply it 10 fold. That is what Naveen Shekharappa’s father suffered after he heard that his 21-year-old son who had gone to Ukraine to study, was killed in an airstrike by Russia.
    Who killed Naveen Shekharappa ?@BJP4Karnataka @INCKarnataka @JanataDal_S pic.twitter.com/dZeHlOxWDf
    — PLE Karnataka (@PLEKarnataka) March 1, 2022
    The young and ambitious Naveen from Karnataka, who had moved abroad to study and build a better life for himself and his parents was reduced to nothing but ‘collateral damage’ in this war that Russia has waged against Ukraine. 
    And even though the ones sitting on the other end of this strike seem to be Russian, there is no denying that our country has its own contribution to the tragic killing of Naveen.
    “Despite scoring 97% in PUC, my son could not secure a medical seat in State. To get a medical seat one has to give crores of rupees and students are getting the same education abroad spending less money," shared the grief-stricken father of Naveen, who was killed in Ukraine while he was out to get food from a nearby grocery store.

He asks Govt to also look at hefty donations that medical colleges demand, forcing Indian students to take admission abroad. ⁦@TheQuint⁩ pic.twitter.com/THKdjU1lVE

    Hours after news of his son being ruthlessly killed in the strike near the Governor’s House, a dejected Shekharappa Gyanagoudar spoke about how he sent his son abroad because the education system in India was so flawed.
    He shared, “Due to the education system and casteism, he could not get a seat despite being an intelligent student.” He also went on to say, “I am dejected with our political system, education system and casteism. Everything is in the control of private institutes..” A sentiment that is bound to come forward in light of his son’s demise.

    He then said, “I found out that I would have to spend anywhere between Rs 85 lakh and Rs 1 crore to put him in a private medical college. That’s when I decided to send him to Ukraine, but that proved far more costly.”

    And while people will still put the outright blame of Naveen’s death on this unfortunate war between two countries, it also comes as an eye-opener for us to look into the intricacies of our education system, one whose incompetence has forced several students to move out and subsequently suffer a tragic end. 
    Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to the father of Naveen Shekharappa, an Indian student who died in shelling in Kharkiv, Ukraine this morning.

    Last we checked, education should’ve been a right, not a privilege for those who can throw the maximum amount of money at the table. Because in that case, children of middle-class people like Shekharappa Gyanagoudar, a retired paper mill employee, will have no choice but to sacrifice their own blood. And that is too big a gamble to ask people to make.
    Gyanagoudar also happened to share the last conversation he had with his son, where he was advising him to "place an Indian flag" outside the building he was in. 
    The video of their conversation indicated how that is what minister Piyush Goyal had also advised them to do.

    “We have talked to minister Piyush Goyal. He said that there is a little problem. If we try to move from there, then rescue is possible. He has said that our government has talked to both the countries, both the countries have assured them that nothing will happen to the Indians there," his father was heard saying.
    However, Pooja Praharaj, a student coordinator in Kharkiv later shared how, “He lived near the Governor's House and had been standing in the queue for food. Suddenly there was an airstrike that blew up the Governor's House and he was killed".

    — Zeeshan Siddique (@zeeshan_iyc) March 2, 2022Reports suggest that in the bunker where Naveen and several other students had taken shelter, only 2% of them were actually allowed to move. In fact, several accounts of students being manhandled, beaten and stopped from moving are coming forward.

    The Indian Premier League (IPL), without any doubt, is the biggest cricket league in the world. In fact, not just cricket, IPL is one of the most popular sports leagues in the world.
    With every new season, its viewership touches new heights as more and more fans tune in to watch the action unfold, either in front of their television sets or smartphones.

    Apart from attracting billions of eyeballs, the IPL has also filled the coffers of the BCCI, the franchises and the official broadcasters. 

    According to a report published by Duff and Phelps, the IPL has the fourth most expensive broadcasting rights in the world. The host broadcasters Star India paid around Rs 64.37 Cr in broadcasting fee per match to the BCCI in 2020.

    The top three spots belong to the National Football League (Rs 131.78 Cr), English Premier League (Rs 79.52 Cr) and Major League Baseball (Rs 72.70 Cr), respectively. Germany’s top-flight football league Bundesliga comes in at fifth spot with Rs 29.53 Cr while the NBA takes the sixth place earning Rs 15.90 Cr per match through broadcasting rights.

    What’s interesting is that all the other leagues on the list have a long history while the IPL came into existence merely a decade back in 2008. Despite being fairly young, the IPL has managed to compete against some of the more established sports leagues in the world, which speaks volumes about its crazy popularity.

    This report is a testament that no other cricket league is anywhere near the level of IPL, neither in terms of popularity nor the monetary gains. However, people from across the border often make unnecessary comparisons between IPL and Pakistan Super League.

    Just like any other cricket league, PSL is also an infant in front of the IPL but still the Pakistani supporters and some of the cricket experts try to portray as if their league is at par with the IPL, especially when it comes to the quality of cricket.
    The IPL’s ranking among the best sports leagues in the world provided the Indian fans with an opportunity to roast the Pakistani supporters and show them the mirror.

Being fans of IPL, all of us can be mighty proud of the role we have played in making the tournament a massive success over the years.

    Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, was finally released in the theatres last week and is on its way to being a success at the box office. Since the last few weeks, the actress has been on a promotion spree and was recently saved by the paps from getting injured during an open bus tour in Mumbai.
    View this post on Instagram
    In a video, posted by well-known paparazzi Viral Bhayani, Alia can be seen sitting on top of a double-decker bus with photographers. This promotion activity was planned to promote Gangubai Kathiawadi. On the moving bus, at a point, paps around her shouted, "Jhaad lagega (Careful of the branches)". A photographer lifted the branches up when they came close to touching her head.
    As a few more branches were about to come in her way, the cameraman said, "Woh wala araha hai (A few more are coming)". After hearing this, Alia took her saree's pallu and covered her head. After the paps informed her that there were no more branches, she finally removed it.
    Watch the clip below:

    After watching the video, social media users are praising paparazzi for their quick thinking, in the comments section. A user said, "actually Indian paps are very sweet". Another Instagram user wrote, "Jahaa dekho bus Alia he Alia chaa rahi hai". A third comment reads, "They are so caring".
    For the unversed, Bhansali's ambitious film did a business of Rs. 39.12 crores in its first weekend in the domestic market. On the first Monday, Gangubai Kathiawadi earned Rs. 8.19 crores, bringing its four-day total to Rs. 47.31 crores. 
    View this post on Instagram
    Based on a chapter from Hussain Zaidi's book Mafia Queens of Mumbai, Gangubai Kathiawadi also features Shantanu Maheshwari, Ajay Devgn, Seema Pahwa, and Vijay Raaz in pivotal roles. The film is having a dream run at the box office and is expected to cross the Rs. 100 crore mark in the second weekend.

    Sara Ali Khan is among the few celebrities in India who proudly celebrates all festivals, visits temples and dargah and respects all religions equally and this might be because she grew up in a secular family. 

    © Instagram/Sara Ali Khan
    Although she was raised a Muslim, she doesn’t restrict herself to following one religion and sets a great example of secularism. However, sometimes, it raises a storm, like whenever she posts a picture on social media paying her respect to any religion other than Islam.   

    © Instagram/Sara Ali Khan
    Something similar happened recently on the occasion of Mahashivratri as she shared a throwback picture from when she visited the Omkareshwar Temple Jyotirlinga in Madhya Pradesh. She captioned the photo, “Happy Mahashivtratri Jai Bholenath.”

    View this post on Instagram
    Some of her followers saw this as an opportunity to troll the actress on the basis of her religion and questioned her on her beliefs as a Muslim. 

    The comment section turned into a Hindu-Muslim war with some accusing her of being a bad Muslim, while others defended her for being respectful of all religions. 
    © Instagram/Sara Ali Khan
    However, there were some who defended her and leave her alone. “Requesting every muslim please don't abuse her his father is muslim her mother is Hindu she's practising both religion you just Disrespecting our own religion by abusing her stop this nonsense.” 

    Another wrote, “Literally prayed for you, because you are settling a great example of secularism [sic.].” A user commented, “Why it can't be her choice.. let her pray and hail whomever she want... she don't need ur certificate..”
    © Instagram/Sara Ali Khan
    This is not the first time that Sara has been trolled and called a ‘bad Muslim' for visiting temples and gurudwaras or celebrating festivals of other religions. However, it seems like she doesn’t care what some people out there say about it.  

    © Instagram/Sara Ali Khan
    It is just the many perils of being a celebrity. You cannot make everyone happy, especially in India when religion is considered.
