    House Minority Leader: Trump is lying about Iran TEHRAN (Iran News) Speaking to reporters on Tuesday local time, after the briefing session for senior Congress members with Trump’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Jeffries referred to Trump’s previous claim that last year’s strikes had “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities. “Clearly he was lying to the American people, or he’s lying right now,” he added. “I plan to press them on the claim that Donald Trump himself made about the Iranian nuclear program and what the great urgency is right now,” he added. Rubio held a meeting on Tuesday evening local time, before Trump’s annual speech to Congress, with the leaders of the House of Representatives and the Senate, along with the chairs and senior members of the intelligence committees of both chambers also known as the “Gang of Eight”. The “Gang of Eight” refers to the eight senior US Congress officials who, by law, are briefed on the latest and most sensitive security and intelligence information. Following the 12-day war involving the US and Israel against Iranian nuclear facilities, indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington have resumed, despite US’ contradictory statements and threats. The first round of indirect Tehran-Washington talks after the 12-day war was held on Friday, February 6, 2026, in Muscat. The Iranian and American negotiating teams exchanged a set of views through Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, the Omani Foreign Minister. The second round of nuclear talks took place in Geneva, Switzerland, on February 17, 2026, concluding after approximately three hours and thirty minutes of intensive diplomatic consultations. These talks, like previous rounds, were held indirectly with the mediation of the Sultanate of Oman. A new round of talks is scheduled to be held on Thursday in Geneva.

    Iran tops in registered international table tennis coaches: Official TEHRAN (Iran News) Speaking to IRNA on Tuesday, Mehrdad Ali-Qardashi pointed to Iran’s ranking in the coaching by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), saying that with a total of 1,105 coaches, the country could manage to achieve the first place in the world. He said that Iran currently has 1,001 active coaches at level-one, 86 coaches at level-two, and 18 coaches at level-three, whose details are available on the website of the ITTF. Iran’s exact share of the world’s total registered coaches is calculated as 15.36 percent, meaning that approximately every 6 to 7 international coaches registered on this list is an Iranian coach. According to him, Egypt and India are in the second and third places in the world’s table tennis coaching after Iran, contrary to a popular belief that China, Japan, and South Korea are among the top three. Ali-Qardashi attributed the Iran’s ranking to the improved scientific level of coaches, which resulted in Iranian teenagers and young adults to defeat the Paris Olympic title-holders. He reminded the words of the ITTF chief, a member of the International Olympic Committee and himself a world champion from Sweden, who during the meeting with the Secretary General of the National Olympic Committee praised Benyamin Faraji for defeating World and Olympics champion and world No. 1 Wang Chuqin at the 2024 Asian Table Tennis Championships. The head of Iran’s Table Tennis Federation underscored that such praises for a teenager from West Asia, who defeated the first and second world players from China, shows the importance of Iranian coaches.

    Indifference of Jihadi Movement May Encourage Enemy Opportunism TEHRAN (Iran News) Brigadier General Mohammad Zohraei made the remarks on Tuesday night during the 12th Jihadi Memory Night ceremony held at the Sheikh Saduq Hall in the shrine of Abdolazim Hosseini Shrine. Referring to what he described as the “civilization-building battle between truth and falsehood,” Zohraei said the role of the jihadi movement must be properly defined during this historical period. He described the movement as one of the spiritual achievements of the Islamic Revolution and emphasized its role in civilization-building efforts. He called the jihadi movement a modern technological innovation of the revolution and one of the spiritual outcomes of the “Second Step” of the revolution. Zohraei added that this capacity must be firmly rooted in its historical position, strengthening not only service delivery but also ideological discourse and public mobilization in favor of the Islamic Republic. The official described jihadi volunteers as the intermediary link between government efficiency and the public, stating that responsible and non-neutral positioning by jihadi groups in areas where they operate could help strengthen social cohesion and neutralize enemy efforts. Zohraei also called for expanding cultural activities among jihadi groups, saying that organizing “Memory Night” ceremonies serves as a spiritual covenant among volunteers while facilitating experience transfer and strengthening collective morale. He noted that jihadi groups have built a strong record in past years, particularly in poverty alleviation efforts, disaster response including floods and earthquakes, and during the global COVID-19 pandemic, when volunteer forces were among the first responders and among the last to leave affected areas after recovery operations. He recalled the role of volunteer forces during the coronavirus outbreak, saying that when the unknown virus spread across the world, thousands of volunteers were trained and deployed in various fields, including the preparation, washing, and burial of deceased victims, shouldering heavy responsibilities. Praising the late Ismail Ahmadi as the founder of the program, Zohraei said the deceased had served as a model of mobilization and popularity among jihadi groups through his cultural, media, and field activities. He added that continuing this path would deepen the country’s jihadi culture. Providing an overview of jihadi groups in Iran, Zohraei said about 62,000 jihadi groups are currently active nationwide, operating at different levels. Approximately half of these groups are mosque-based or locally focused and mainly serve their immediate communities without migration. He added that some groups are geographically mobile and operate by attracting public and institutional support, maintaining permanent manpower and specialized expertise in areas such as construction, culture, agriculture, and resistance economy in targeted regions. About 16 percent of the country’s jihadi groups—nearly 1,200 teams—maintain long-term presence in specific areas. Specialized groups are also active in fields such as medicine, veterinary services, education, and resistance economy, while more than 30,000 local groups provide public services under the “Faith-Based Service Movement.” Zohraei announced that eight underdeveloped provinces had been selected as targets for Nowruz holiday service programs from mid-Ramadan to April 4. Service areas have been identified in advance, and coordination with executive agencies has been conducted to secure materials and initial funding. He said jihadi volunteers can choose their preferred province and service field based on their capacity and willingness to ensure more targeted and effective operations during the holiday period. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the ceremony, Zohraei said about 60,000 jihadi groups have registered and are active on the “Jihadi Atlas” platform. These groups operate in construction, cultural, medical, agricultural, educational, and energy projects in deprived regions and are increasingly moving toward specialized activities requiring professional certification. He said various development projects have been designed for jihadi teams. In agriculture, water supply projects for farmers have been implemented and have received positive public response. In poverty reduction programs, agreements have been signed with multiple institutions to support housing construction for disadvantaged populations. In the employment sector, jihadi groups have worked on establishing small family workshops and small-scale industries in urban and rural areas. Zohraei also noted the entry of volunteer groups into the energy sector, particularly solar power projects. After receiving specialized training, jihadi teams have constructed solar power plants in areas where solar energy could contribute to electricity generation. He emphasized that the movement toward specialized professional activities is strengthening, adding that volunteers are obtaining necessary certifications to take more solid steps in promoting the national jihadi service movement. Zohraei also noted that Iran’s 60,000 active jihadi groups provided significant assistance to the government during disasters such as floods and the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting executive agencies in various operations.

    Iran Rejects U.S. Claims About Its Nuclear Program, Calling Them “Big Lies” TEHRAN (Iran News) Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei responded to statements by U.S. officials and Western media outlets on his official account on the social media platform X (social media platform). Baghaei wrote that professional liars specialize in creating “false realities,” adding that repeating a lie often enough can make it appear like the truth. He referenced the historical propaganda principle attributed to Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi-era German Minister of Information and advisor to Adolf Hitler, stating that the slogan “repeat a lie until it appears true” was widely used in propaganda. He further stated that this principle is now systematically employed by the U.S. government and its “war-mongering circles,” particularly the “genocidal regime of Israel,” to promote what he described as a malicious campaign of spreading false information against the Iranian nation. The spokesman emphasized that claims concerning Iran’s nuclear program, alleged intercontinental ballistic missiles, and the number of casualties during the January unrest were nothing but repeated major falsehoods. He urged the public not to be deceived by such allegations. The remarks came after U.S. President Donald Trump, in his first official address titled “State of the Union” during his second presidential term, reiterated criticism of Iran. Trump claimed that Iran had developed missiles that could threaten Europe and eventually the United States. He also said that following what he called the “Midnight Hammer Operation,” Iran allegedly received warnings not to develop nuclear weapons or missiles, though he claimed Tehran continued such activities. The U.S. president further alleged that Iran was seeking to rebuild its nuclear program and pursuing “sinister goals.” Iran has consistently rejected such accusations.

    First VP Urges Export-Oriented Agricultural Production TEHRAN (Iran News) Aref made the remarks during the 64th meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization. Highlighting the organization’s achievements in agricultural research, he stated that ensuring the country’s food security is not merely a slogan, but the result of measures taken in recent years in the agricultural sector—an approach that now serves as a key strategy of the current government. Reviewing the challenges of the 1980s in agriculture, Aref recalled that at the time, the country’s strategy focused on increasing production and achieving self-sufficiency, particularly in essential commodities. He pointed to the wheat self-sufficiency celebration held in 2004 as an example. Today, he stressed, agricultural production must be planned with a realistic understanding of the country’s conditions and constraints. Aref underlined the key role of the Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization in achieving food security, noting that while the organization has made valuable contributions, the government expects more given the country’s academic and expert capacity. “Future agriculture must be smart, data-driven, and knowledge-based, while also making proper use of indigenous knowledge,” he said. Referring to the government’s regional production strategy—particularly in agriculture—Aref noted that Iran’s free trade agreement with member states of the Eurasian Economic Union presents a significant opportunity for agricultural exports. However, he said, realizing this potential requires higher productivity and improved quality of domestic products. He stressed the necessity of utilizing modern technologies, saying there is no alternative but to adopt and localize the latest advancements. “The country benefits from strong scientific capacity and a young workforce capable of producing the technologies needed in the agricultural sector,” he added. In this context, he called for reforming cultivation patterns with the cooperation and consent of farmers, emphasizing that water-intensive crops such as rice and watermelon should not be grown in water-scarce regions. Addressing climate change and declining water resources, Aref noted that such conditions had been predictable for years and that international warnings had long been issued. He urged the Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization to adopt a problem-oriented approach and, in cooperation with universities and research centers, provide practical solutions to adapt Iran’s agriculture to environmental conditions. During the meeting, a report was presented on the organization’s activities, including seed production, cultivation pattern reform, applied research, adoption of modern technologies, private sector partnerships, and training programs for farmers. Board members also approved several measures, including the audit report for the year 1403 (2024–2025), the appointment of an auditor for the 1404 (2025–2026) fiscal year, the organization’s detailed budget, implementation of a comprehensive wastewater transfer project and construction of a treatment plant at the Isfahan Provincial Research Station, the establishment of solar power plants at research centers, the implementation of an agrivoltaic project in pistachio orchards, and revisions to national standards for nursery plant and mother garden health.

    A Look at the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran TEHRAN (Iran News) Viewing governance strictly through three branches, conventionalizing the coercive power, failing to regard culture as an integrated power in itself, decentralizing education outside a unified power-based structure, and adopting a livelihood-centered and state-centered approach to the economy have all contributed to state-centric movements. Every few years, these movements have been directed along partisan and factional lines. Of course, the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran is a synthesis of a monotheistic ontology (God-centered) and a people-based methodology symbolized by republicanism. For this reason, one can observe a certain alignment—within both the written and unwritten lines of the text—with Western liberalism (which is founded upon humanism and anthropocentrism). Thus, in some principles and concepts, similarities and overlaps with the values of Western liberal democracy can be observed. These commonalities appear mainly in the realm of “methods” and “citizens’ rights.” Entrusting cultural development entirely to the government without consistent supervision over its content and direction, or assigning education to the executive branch without aligning it with the necessities of the Revolution and national governance, as well as adopting a partisan and ideologically tinted approach to the economy—alongside pure capitalism without a focus on justice—have over the years led to the politicization of culture along factional lines, fragmentation of non-aligned educational content, and the emergence of a wealthy elite class immersed in affluence. This economic model has consistently created challenges across all sectors. We remain committed to principles within this Constitution; yet instead of giving primacy to these principles in overarching content and expecting governments to pave the way for substantive implementation, we have made the executive administrator the very foundation of content itself. Let us consider the following principles: A – Popular Sovereignty and Republicanism (Similar to Democracy) Western liberalism emphasizes popular sovereignty and the social contract. In the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, this concept is embodied in the republican nature of the system: Article 6: “In the Islamic Republic of Iran, the affairs of the country must be administered by reliance on public opinion, through elections: the election of the President, representatives of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, members of councils, and the like.” Article 56: “Absolute sovereignty over the world and humanity belongs to God, and it is He who has made man master of his own social destiny. No one can deprive man of this divine right
” Although these principles are defined within a religious framework, in terms of their popular character and recourse to public opinion, they correspond with the democratic mechanisms of Western liberalism. B – Fundamental Freedoms (Similar to Liberalism) Freedom is the core of liberalism. In Chapter Three (Rights of the Nation), the Constitution refers to a wide range of freedoms similar to those set forth in international charters (influenced by liberalism): Article 23: The investigation of beliefs is forbidden, and “no one may be molested or taken to task simply for holding a certain belief.” Article 24: Freedom of the press is guaranteed, “unless it is detrimental to the fundamental principles of Islam or the rights of the public.” Article 27: Freedom of assembly and marches is permitted, “provided that arms are not carried and that they are not detrimental to the fundamental principles of Islam.” Article 22: The dignity, life, property, rights, residence, and occupation of individuals are inviolable. C – Human Rights and Human Dignity (Shared Concepts) Research indicates that in certain respects, the Constitution aligns with human rights positions (which have roots in liberalism): Articles 19–21: Equality of individuals before the law, observance of women’s rights, and protection of mothers. Article 32: The right to legal recourse and judicial security (arrests must be made according to law). Article 38: Torture for the purpose of extracting confessions is forbidden. These principles display relative harmony with the liberal view of inherent human rights (regardless of gender, race, or religion). D – Rejection of Domination and Independence (Similar to Anti-Colonial Principles) Interestingly, some principles of foreign policy in the Constitution (such as Articles 152 and 154) bear semantic resemblance to the outlook of early Iranian liberals during the Constitutional era, who sought to reject foreign domination and preserve independence. Although these principles are rooted in the Islamic concept of rejecting subjugation, in terms of “independence and freedom from foreign powers,” they share common ground with nationalist liberal ideals. A General View In an overall assessment, the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran shares similarities with liberalism in its instrumental and procedural aspects: The use of voting and elections Recognition of conditional freedoms Respect for citizens’ rights However, at the level of foundations, the difference is fundamental. In Western liberalism, human autonomy is the source of rights, whereas in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, divine authority forms the basis of action, and people’s rights are defined within the framework of Islamic criteria (Article 4). In other words, in liberalism, freedom is unlimited unless it harms another person; but in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, freedom is limited by adherence to Islamic principles under the authority and supervision of a qualified Islamic jurist.

    Iran Eyes Contract Farming in Afghanistan TEHRAN (Iran News) Mahmoud Siadat, head of the Iran–Afghanistan Joint Chamber of Commerce, said that official recognition of the Taliban government—referred to by its authorities as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan—would significantly strengthen commercial relations and provide greater confidence for long-term investments and private-sector engagement. His remarks followed recent statements by Alireza Bigdeli, Iran’s ambassador in Kabul, who indicated that Tehran may soon formally recognize the Taliban-led administration. In an interview, Siadat said there is no certainty yet regarding recognition, but noted that Iran’s relations with Afghanistan’s current authorities have steadily improved across multiple sectors. “Fortunately, relations between Iran and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan are improving day by day in various fields,” he said. According to Siadat, official recognition by Tehran would create greater stability and reassurance for private-sector actors seeking to engage in Afghanistan. This would be particularly important for long-term projects such as railway connectivity linking Iran to China through Afghan territory, as well as major public and private investment initiatives. “When it comes to long-term contracts and strategic infrastructure projects, recognition would make it easier to rely on agreements and move forward with confidence,” he said. Siadat described current economic relations between the two countries as strong and friendly, but emphasized that formal diplomatic recognition would further enhance both the perception and practical realities of cooperation. Citing Iranian customs data, he said Iran’s annual exports to Afghanistan exceed $2.5 billion. However, Afghan customs authorities report even higher figures, estimating imports from Iran at more than $3 billion per year. In total, Siadat estimated that Iran’s combined exports of goods and services to Afghanistan amount to approximately $3.5 billion annually. By contrast, Afghanistan’s exports to Iran remain limited, totaling around $100 million per year. A significant portion of Iran’s exports to Afghanistan consists of technical and engineering services, which Siadat said exceed $500 million annually. However, he acknowledged that there is no comprehensive database tracking these activities. He attributed the lack of accurate data to insufficient government support and incentives. In the past, Iran’s Trade Promotion Organization provided bonuses of up to five percent of contract values to exporters of technical and engineering services, encouraging companies to formally register their overseas activities. “Today, not only are there no incentives, but exporters are concerned about potential penalties, taxes, and social security obligations,” Siadat said. “As a result, many prefer not to register their activities.” He added that Afghanistan’s most pressing needs go beyond goods and include technical services, consultancy, knowledge transfer, and technology—areas in which Iran has considerable capacity but has underperformed in terms of policy support. Looking ahead, Siadat highlighted agriculture as a key area for expanding bilateral cooperation. He said Iran has already imported cotton, legumes, and certain agricultural products from Afghanistan this year, along with limited quantities of zinc ore, lead, and other minerals. However, industrial and mining imports from Afghanistan currently face logistical and structural challenges. As a result, Iranian policymakers and business leaders are increasingly turning their attention to agricultural cooperation. “We are seeking to implement contract farming in Afghanistan,” Siadat said. “Given that more than 50 percent of Afghanistan’s economy and workforce is engaged in agriculture, livestock, fisheries, and horticulture, this sector offers significant potential.” Under contract farming arrangements, Iranian companies would invest in Afghan agricultural production, providing technology, expertise, and guaranteed purchase agreements. The harvested products—such as legumes, meat, and other agricultural goods—would then be exported to Iran. Siadat suggested that such cooperation could reduce Iran’s dependence on more distant suppliers. “Instead of importing legumes from Canada, we can source them from Afghanistan,” he said. “Through contract farming and the transfer of knowledge and technology, we can import agricultural products and meat from Afghanistan in a structured and mutually beneficial way.” Siadat also noted that remittances sent by Afghan nationals residing in Iran likely exceed the value of Iran’s total exports to Afghanistan. Millions of Afghans live and work in Iran, sending portions of their earnings back home to support their families. This flow of funds, he said, underscores the deep economic interdependence between the two neighbors. While formal recognition of the Taliban government by Iran has not yet been confirmed, Siadat made clear that such a move would mark a turning point in economic relations. It would not only solidify existing trade flows but also pave the way for expanded infrastructure projects, agricultural investment, and long-term strategic cooperation. For now, trade between the two countries remains robust despite the absence of formal recognition. But business leaders argue that a clearer diplomatic framework could unlock further growth—particularly in sectors such as rail connectivity, agriculture, engineering services, and cross-border investment. As discussions continue, Iran appears poised to deepen its economic engagement with Afghanistan, with contract farming emerging as a central pillar of its evolving strategy.

    Hamas: Settler attack on West Bank mosque ‘a fascist and organized crime’ TEHRAN (Iran News) The Palestinian group issued a statement on Monday, the same day Israeli settlers set fire to the Abu Bakr as-Siddiq Mosque, located between the towns of Sarra and Tal, near Nablus in the northern West Bank. The settlers also spray-painted racist slogans on the mosque’s walls. “The action carried out on Monday by Zionist settlers is a fascist and organized crime, and a blatant assault on places of worship and Islamic holy sites. This act constitutes a clear violation of all international laws and norms that guarantee the protection of religious and sacred sites,” Hamas said in the statement. The movement called on the Palestinian people to take measures to protect mosques and other religious sites in the face of settler attacks and to counter these aggressive acts. Hamas also urged the United Nations and all human rights organizations to condemn “this criminal fascist behavior,” prosecute its perpetrators, and hold Israeli officials accountable for encouraging such brutal crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as Islamic and Christian holy sites. “The action carried out on Monday by Zionist settlers is a fascist and organized crime, and a blatant assault on places of worship and Islamic holy sites.

    Football Matches Postponed in Mexico Ahead of World Cup TEHRAN (Iran News) Two Liga MX fixtures — Queretaro vs. Juarez FC in the men’s competition and Chivas vs. America in the women’s league — were called off, along with two second-division matches. The disruption comes as Mexico prepares to co-host this summer’s World Cup, with Guadalajara scheduled to stage four matches in June. Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” led the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) and was wounded in Tapalpa, about a two-hour drive southwest of Guadalajara, before dying while being flown to Mexico City. In the aftermath of his death, cartel members burned vehicles and blocked roads in nearly a dozen Mexican states. Authorities reported explosions and shootouts between criminal groups and security forces in Jalisco, Guerrero and Michoacan, with roadblocks erected using burning cars across parts of southwest Mexico. Against that backdrop, Mexico’s national team is scheduled to face Iceland in a friendly on Wednesday at the Corregidora stadium in Queretaro, and the Mexican football federation has not announced any plans to postpone the match. Meanwhile, the unrest has cast fresh uncertainty over preparations for the World Cup, which Mexico will co-host with the United States and Canada from June 11 to July 19. Mexico is set to host 13 matches across Guadalajara, Mexico City and Monterrey, including the opening game in Mexico City on June 11. Guadalajara is due to stage four fixtures, including two involving South Korea, as well as matches featuring co-host Mexico, Spain, Uruguay and Colombia. The CJNG is regarded as one of Mexico’s most powerful criminal organizations, with operations spanning much of the country and a key role in trafficking methamphetamine and fentanyl to the United States. Its designation as a foreign terrorist organization by the Trump administration has underscored international concern over its reach. In response to the latest violence, Global Affairs Canada urged people to “avoid non-essential travel” to dozens of areas in Mexico “due to high levels of violence and organized crime.” The US State Department advised Americans to shelter in place, with some tourists reportedly stranded amid the unrest. Separately, the Mexican Open ATP tournament is due to begin on Monday at the GNP Arena in Acapulco, Guerrero, with organizers stating that “the tournament’s operation continues as normal.” The violence erupted just months before the expanded 48-team World Cup, which will feature 104 matches and draw millions of fans to North America, intensifying scrutiny of security arrangements in host cities.

    Most men we know do not shop often, don’t follow trends and live out of their two pairs of tees and a set number of jeans.

    It just had to happen! With Warner Bros and DC doing their magic with Robert Pattinson's new Batman film, it was only some time left for Marvel to bring the rabbit out of the hat. And it sure looks like they've done it again, in some spectacular fashion! According to reports, MCU's Daredevil reboot is finally set to enter production, and will apparently be a Disney+ MCU series. © Netflix This means that the Devil of Hell's Kitchen will finally be returning back to the TV screens to terrorize his enemies. This is according to the latest issue of Production Weekly, which is usually the centre of providing pre-production or in-production projects for film professionals. View this post on Instagram The news was included in a section for a show which was referred to as the 'Daredevil Reboot'. According to reports, the show was listed as a Disney+ series which was currently in development. It also mentioned Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, and Chris Gary as producers of the popular show. This points to the much-anticipated return of fan-favourite Charlie Cox as attorney Matt Murdoch/Crimefighter vigilante Daredevil. Charlie already made fans jump up from their seats in Tom Holland's Spider-Man: No Way Home back in December of last year. © Netflix And well, it looks like he'll have the same effect when the star returns in the show as the popular superhero. While he will return, it is still not known what kind of project the character would appear in, or whether there would be any more tweaks to the whole show, as per Disney. So far, no timelines have been given for the show or when it will begin production. There is also no information on which actors would be starring in the project and how exactly will it be synchronized with the rest of the MCU. However, recently, actress Deborah Ann Woll, who played the role of Karen Page in the show revealed her hope for the character to return again. © Netflix “I loved playing Karen Page.

How has the Covid-19 pandemic affected the sports industry? Who suffered the most?Punit: Of course, there has been be a big impact because of COVID. · Events have slowly started without spectators at venues.

    The only thing that’s flourishing in India during the pandemic is PM Modi’s beard. It’s growing at the same pace as the number of Covid cases and petrol prices, and there’s no stopping. There have been numerous speculations regarding the purpose behind his reluctance to shave. © Instagram/Narendra Modi These fan theories (yes, I said it) include it’s an attempt to establish a political identity, send across a masculine message, his oath (sankalp) to get the Ram Mandir ready, preparation for the audition for Dumbledore and many more. Okay, the last one might be from the memers and may not be true. The reason is still unknown. © Instagram/Narendra Modi While the world discusses the reason behind his growing beard, Shashi Tharoor has a new word for it. Or should I say, he has an exotic word that he learned and used PM Modi’s beard to teach us because it fits his current grooming situation perfectly. © Instagram/Shashi Tharoor The word is pogonotrophy, which means ‘the act of cultivating, or growing and grooming, a mustache, beard, sideburns or other facial hair’. He edified us with the new word upon a Twitter user’s request. She wrote, “Sir, apart from your articulate speeches I'm waiting for some new word to learn. It's always great to tickle your mind with an out of the box word!” Sir,apart from your articulate speeches I'm waiting for some new word to learn. It's always great to tickle your mind with an out of the box word! — Dr.Priya Anand (@DrPriyaAnand1) July 1, 2021 He replied, “My friend Rathin Roy, the economist, taught me a new word today: pogonotrophy.” Before we could flip the pages of the dictionary to find the meaning, he explained it himself, taking a dig at PM Modi’s full beard. “Which means "the cultivation of a beard". As in, the PM's pogonotrophy has been a pandemic preoccupation
” he continued in the tweet. My friend Rathin Roy, the economist, taught me a new word today: pogonotrophy, which means "the cultivation of a beard". As in, the PM's pogonotrophy has been a pandemic preoccupation... https://t.co/oytIvCKRJR — Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) July 1, 2021 Tharoor should have his own dictionary filled with exotic words that only he can pronounce. He has taught us dozens of words in the past that we don’t think anyone even uses in their everyday life, like floccinaucinihilipilification or lalochezia (look them up on google to enhance your vocabulary). © Instagram/Shashi Tharoor We might not use these ‘convoluted’ words (also from Tharoor’s vocab), but we think we can use this new ‘word of the day’, pogonotrophy, to describe PM Modi’s Pandemic look, at least until he trims his beard off.

    In the last couple of months, you may have noticed that you're getting more pimples than ever before. Pandemic stress-induced acne and maskne have been common talking points all last year as we notice that breakouts were prominent not just on the face but also on the rest of the body. But, if we're talking about body acne specifically, how are they different from the breakouts that we see on our face? © iStock Chest and back acne is known as folliculitis, and it stems from pores clogged with oil, dead skin, or other gunk. Why have these breakouts become more frequent lately?The emotional and physical stress of the pandemic has definitely contributed to the rise in acne. There is also a significant lifestyle change that we all acclimated to when we sat at home for months at end, which contributes to acne. For example, sitting for more hours causes more friction on the butt which leads to more breakouts. If you're not taking a bath as often and let's face it, we're all guilty of it, that too contributes to rising in clogged pores which causes acne. Eating more junk at home and grabbing more donuts, pizza, ice cream and wine too is responsible for exacerbating your acne __ECOMPRODUCT__233__ How to treat body acneFirstly, find ways to de-stress yourself. At-home exercises and yoga are great at relieving your stress. Creating a balance in terms of ordering in food from outside and throwing in more healthy food options to take care of your diet will also help. Buy Dermoys Body Wash Body acne can be treated with the same products and ingredients that you use for your face. When it comes to a body wash, opt for a cleanser that is packed with acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.. __ECOMPRODUCT__1083__ View the full article

    Aparshakti Khurana, by all means, is a bonafide style icon of B-town. He exactly knows how to elevate his style statement, even when he is stepping out in a casual ensemble. Remember the time he wore an expensive pair of simple joggers and when he wore the zaniest sneakers ever? That's Apar's way of turning heads. © Instagram/Aparshakti © Gucci Aparshakti is seen wearing Gucci Flashtrek sneakers. These are inspired by the hiking world and feature a dynamic mix of materials like rubber, suede and technical canvas. Moreover, these have perforated padded ankles as well. The pair looks oversized and is quite a quirky pair we would say. But these for hiking? We are wondering how comfortable they would be, given the heel height and the fact that they are extra-ordinarily white. Since these are from Gucci, the price is expected to burn a big hole in anyone's pocket. © Viral Bhayani All in all, this is a cool way to head to a party and those sneakers, well, we can't stop gazing at them.

    It's a hard fact of life that as we grow up, the process of ageing begins. The lines start showing up on the skin, eventually causing sagging and other age-related problems. Maintaining the hairline is a particular challenge for men and the body hair starts to mount. That's just science, can't do anything about it. This is the time when you just can't afford to ignore your grooming routine. Without it, the dead skin cells will only keep getting build-up, leading to dryness and dull-looking skin. In your 30s as well, you can fend off every problem by taking care of these grooming issues. Here's how you can do it right: 1. Your Hair © iStock Your genetics have to be really strong for an issue like thinning or greying to not appear. But this issue happens to most men in their 30s. Don't lose all your hopes just as yet. We have said it before and we will say it again. There are ways to disguise it, by embracing a new hairstyle, or dyeing your hair or just not seeing it as a big problem and going all out without making a big fuss. 2. Lower Skin Defense © iStock When you are in your 30s, your skin won't work as it did back in your 20s. Hence, it's only wise that when you are shaving, you go for easy strokes as this will minimise any damage caused. The skin is not as taut and hence, elevating your routine by using soothing creams and tonics will help you steer clear of redness and irritation. 3. Dark Circles Around Your Eyes © iStock Dark circles in your 30s is a result of what you did in your 20s. That said, dark circles or crow's feet are all signs of ageing, which says that you need to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Besides that, keep an under-eye massager with you to de-puff your eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles. It should be a part of your routine now. 4. Taking Care Of The Nose & Ears © iStock You can't help but let hair sprout from areas like your nostrils or your ears. Unfortunately, as you grow old, you will notice more of it. The only solution here is to invest in an electric trimmer or hair scissors that do the work. These grooming items will help you be at top of your game in your 30s. 5. Let's Talk About Your Hands © iStock Collagen production decreases as you age and you start seeing your skin's firmness lessening. So, before this ends up becoming permanent, keep your hands in great shape by washing them frequently and using a hydrating cream every day. Also, consider booking a manicure appointment. 6. Keeping Your Feet Clean © iStock Basically, what you do with your hands applies for the feet as well. Exfoliate your feet at least twice a week or go for a pedicure to keep them pristine.

    While most of us watched Karan JoharĂąs Student Of The Year, we thought such schools donĂąt exist at all. And most of us wanted to study in a fancy and posh school like St. Teresa but didnĂąt know if such schools existed. To our surprise, many schools in India give us the Bollywood set the vibe and are exactly how it was shown in KJoĂąs SOTY. So, here is a list of 5 such schools in India thatĂąll astound you and give Bollywood sets a run for their money- Mayo College, Ajmer © Youtube/Kanak Arora This one looks less of a school and more of a five-star luxurious resort.

Army Public School, Dagshai © Youtube/Mandeep Singh This school is spread across 40 acres of land and is situated right on the hilltop. Also, this one is ranked 6th amongst most prestigious boarding schools in India. It not only helps in grooming the students but also enables them in shaping their personalities for future endeavors.

    After ruling the box office for years, Shah Rukh Khan's net worth has been increasing every year, which is why it is not surprising that in 2020, Shah Rukh Khan has one of the highest net worth figures in the country. In such a scenario, with an annual income of Rs 256 crore, SRK's net worth can easily give any contemporary actor out there a tough competition. © Shah Rukh Khan FC Official/ Twitter But before we get right into it, it's important to understand what consists of net worth. Net worth is the value of all assets, minus the total of all liabilities. Put another way, net worth is what is owned minus what is owed. This net worth calculator helps determine your net worth. It also estimates how net worth could grow or decline over the next 10 years. © Shah Rukh Khan FC Official/ Twitter Shah Rukh KhanĂąs net worth has reportedly been estimated to be 600 million Dollars. This comes down to approximately Rs 4,575.9 crore. © Shah Rukh Khan FC Official/ Twitter The assets aside from his annual income include the likes of luxury cars like BMW 6 series (convertible), Audi A6, BMW 7 series, BMW i8, Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, Mitsubishi Pajero SFX, Bentley Continental GT, and Harley Davidson Dyna Street Bob Toyota Land Cruiser Prado from his collection. © Shah Rukh Khan FC Official/ Twitter Among properties, it is noteworthy to mention an estate called Villa K-93 in Palm Jumeirah, Dubai which is priced at Rs 17 crore. He also possesses a place in Park Lane, London which approximately costs big Rs 167 crore. © Shah Rukh Khan FC Official/ Twitter Among other assets, fans also buy him things, this includes land on the Moon certified from the Lunar Republic Society. © Shah Rukh Khan FC Official/ Twitter © Shah Rukh Khan FC Official/ Twitter We all know SRK's stake in the IPL. He owns a strong and winning IPL team with a stake of 55% adding Rs 575 crore to his bag. The team as you must know is the all-time winners, Kolkata Knight Riders, also known for its initials as KKR! © Shah Rukh Khan FC Official/ Twitter Besides, he runs a production house under the name of Red Chillies which also consists of two huge components - production and VFX. The annual turnover of the same is around Rs 500 crore. Another venture is Kidzania, designed for children aged 4-14. The program blends learning and reality with entertainment. It is a four-hour experience where the kids can independently pick several activities and test their potential in a vast number of professions. © Shah Rukh Khan FC Official/ Twitter Besides that, having brand ambassador deals with Airtel, Pepsi, Hyundai, Sprite, Videocon are also noteworthy income sources.

    Last month, Indian wrestler Bajrang Punia was left disheartened after being ignored for the prestigious Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, which was eventually awarded to Virat Kohli and Mirabai Chanu. Punia had won gold medals at the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games earlier this year, but still, he was snubbed by the selection panel. Thus, there was no surprise to see a disappointed Punia threatening to take legal action against the move. For an athlete who worked day in and day out to eventually bring laurels for the country, Punia's misfortune to somehow miss out on India's highest sporting honour was quite shocking. The failure of a country to acknowledge the hardships of their sportspersons surely sets a bad precedent, often leaving the athletes demotivated. But, Punia is an athlete of a different breed - one that believes in responding where it matters the most. Channelling all his disappointment and aggression, Punia gave a befitting reply to the Indian selection committee - who ignored him for the Khel Ratna - with a historic performance in the 2018 World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Hungary. The Indian wrestler secured a hard-fought silver medal in the men's 65kg freestyle category. © Twitter/@wrestling Continuing his fine run this year, the 24-year-old had his eyes set on the gold after staving off a late threat from Cuba's Alejandro Valdes Tobier in the semis, to secure his berth in the 65kg summit clash. However, the Indian wrestler couldn't get the better of his Japanese counterpart Takuto Otoguro before losing the final bout 9-16. The coveted final saw Punia trailing 0-5 early on, but the Indian wrestler made a commendable comeback to improve the scoreline 6-7 at the end of the first period. But, it was eventually Punia's 19-year-old opponent who held his nerve with a couple of telling moves. Otoguro continued to attack Punia's legs in the second period and extended his lead to secure a comfortable win in the end. © Twitter/@wrestling A gold-medal finish also made Otoguro Japan's youngest world champion. He surpassed the legendary Yuji Takada who had become the youngest world champion for Japan at the age of 20 in 1974. While the Japanese wrestler made his mark on the international stage, Punia, too, etched his name in the history books despite missing out on the gold. Owing to his silver-medal performance, Punia became the first Indian wrestler to win two medals at the World Championships. He had previously won a bronze medal in the 2013 edition of the same tournament while plying his trade in the 60kg category. He is also only the fourth Indian ever to make it to the World Championships' gold-medal bout. I want to dedicate this silver medal at World Wrestling Championships to the people died in the tragic Amritsar train accident. My deep condolences to their families. pic.twitter.com/oSsg3ABA2c — Bajrang Punia (@BajrangPunia) October 22, 2018 If his historic performance wasn't enough, Punia's heartfelt gesture to dedicate his silver medal to the victims of the tragic train accident in Amritsar, further enhanced his reputation, not only as an athlete, but also as a great human being.

ET Money © etmoney Mutual funds and Systematic Investment Plan(SIP) are the future. Why? Because they give better returns as compared to fixed deposits or savings account. Sometime back there was this misconception about mutual funds, that they are very risky in their nature but with time and increased awareness people are recognizing that they are not so risky after all. Suppose it's the first day of the month and you have received your salary in your bank account. Now, the first thing you should do with this money is to put a share of it in your savings account and invest some. Do not try to be debt free at once, but feed them with what is left after investing, saving and sustaining. On an average, Mutual Funds give you double the return for what you get in a Fixed Deposit, which is usually around 7-8 percent in India. The longer you invest, the less risky it gets. You can start investing in mutual funds early and benefit from the power compounding. ET Money is one such app that can help you better manage your funds. This way your money can work for you instead of you working for the money. Isn't that a smart move? 6. Fyers Fyers is a mobile trading app or you can say an online stockbroker, which serves as a trading platform in India.

It is that simple. 7. Fisdom - Mutual Fund Investment Fisdom allows you to invest in top performing mutual funds.

    Like it or not, Valentine's Day is just around the corner. That means planning for it, getting ready, gifting - the usual shebang. It's ironic that a day that is supposed to be all about love, is reduced to one that is about a 'Roadies' style task instead, the aim of which is to impress your partner. We examined the problem closely and found out the main issue that causes all the confusion and stress is that most men are clueless about what to gift their partners. And why don't they know what to gift? Because it's tough AF to figure out what women want. Plus it's 2018, so roses and chocolates and soft toys just don't cut it anymore. Keeping the happiness of our homies in mind, we went ahead and got the information right from the horse's mouth. We asked 10 women about that one perfect gift they'd love to receive on Valentine's Day. 1. For the practical girlfriend: I honestly don't expect, or even want a really expensive gift from my partner. What would really impress me would be if he shows that he notices really small but important, seemingly trivial details about me. I always treat skincare with priority and love the amazing sheet masks from Innisfree. If he gets me a bunch of them in different flavours, that will be the perfect gift for me. — Naina, 27, Photographer © Innisfreeworld Get it here 2. For the girlfriend you have been dating forever: I would just love to be pampered. You know what would really make me happy? A super relaxed, stress-free day in the spa. What can possibly make a girl happier? — Sukriti, 29, HR Professional © Euromedspa Get it here 3. For the spoilt girlfriend: Okay, I might sound like a materialistic girl, but let's be honest here, nothing else can give you as much happiness as diamonds. Hey, you wanted an honest answer. — Natasha, 26, Engineer © Caratlane Get it here 4. For the domestic goddess girlfriend: I love a man who has good taste in crockery. I'd be very impressed if he gifts me some jewel glasses. The kitchen is extremely important for me and if a man is good in there, that's half the battle won for him. — Suranjini, 30, Chef © Goodearth Get it here 5. For the glam girlfriend: I love lipsticks. I am obsessed. I like to collect them. If he gifts me a L'Oreal Paris x Balmain Limited Edition piece, I will be super impressed. The real challenge for him, however, will be to find a colour that I already don't own. — Liza, 26, Control Systems Engineer © Barneys Get it here 6. For the classy girlfriend: I don't expect my guy to wow me with unrealistic gifts. But he surely should be able to manage an evergreen sort of gift that's perfect for any occasion. A perfume works! And you know which one qualifies as 'the perfume'? Chanel No. 5. — Anaita, 27, Graphics Designer © Graziadaily Get it here 7. For the girlfriend with impeccable taste: Given my profession, I will be really impressed if my partner manages to wow me with a piece of decor that is minimalistic yet gorgeous. I have had my eyes stuck on this beautiful vase from Thelohasmith for some time now. © Thelohasmith Get it here 8. For the ethnic girlfriend: I am really passionate about ethnic Indian jewellery that is not gaudy. I love the pendants from Tribe by Amrapali. — Shivani, 24, Art Director © TribeByAmrapali Get it here 9. For the naughty girlfriend: Some good *** would be amazing. But I need to be in the perfect mood. You know what would be a perfect gift? This hot red bodysuit from La Perla I recently came across and haven't been able to get out of my mind. — Lavanya, 25, Fashion Designer © La Perla Get it here: The La Perla Boutique, DLF Emporio, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi - 110070 10. For the emotional girlfriend: Polaroid Cameras, one for each of us. They can capture one of their favorite moments of the day and store them, while I do the same. Let us also say, my hypothetical beloved one lives miles away from me. Every time we get a chance to meet, we exchange the physical photographs, store them with us and create memories suiting our happiness. — Divya, 22, Senior Copywriter © Amazon Get it here

    No matter what part of the world you reside in, you've worn a pop colour at least once in life. They may not be very household, but bright colours are bonafide winners as stand-out pieces to own (plus, they're not even that dramatic). But dug deep into, their appearance with denim is a most sought after combo. Two A-list, classic trends will obvs result in a big celebration. No? To help us score brownie points with this combo and our denim pairings as a whole—blogger Akshay Sharma gives us a peak into his denim school of thought... Your first ever denim purchase? I was probably 5 or 6, when my dad bought me my first pair of denims. I was obsessed with them! Until I gained weight and they stopped fitting me! Is denim a pizza or a burger? I'd say, a Hawaiian pizza. I love wearing denims, as much as I love pineapples on my pizza. Maybe a crime, but it's all about your guilty pleasures sometimes. Ever had a smelly jeans moment? Never! I feel ambushed & get paranoid when my clothes start to stink. I'm a mess (lol). How often do you wash your jeans? The more you wash denim, the more it'll fade & loose it's appeal (especially black jeans). So, I wash them once in a month! Ever tried dungarees? I have! And my mum tells me I look as cute as a baby boy in them. Your take on gender-fluid denim habits? I wear nail paint, gender neutral apparel and accessories almost every day. And guess what, my family is completely cool with it! But publicly, yes—I do feel interrogating eyes staring at me sometimes. In my opinion, it's no one's business to question an individual's style of dressing. I'm glad that people have now become more accepting, but there's still a long way to go. Dark wash or light wash? I've been wearing a lot of light wash denim this year. Probably because I've burnt myself out wearing an excess of dark washes in the past. Ripped or distressed? Ripped, they look unapologetically dope. White or black denim? Black! First off, it's hassle-free. But most importantly, they let you enjoy your red wine without the fear of a stain. Love or hate skinny jeans? Absolutely adore skinny jeans! But I wear them only once in a blue moon. Your go-to denim outfit? In summers—tank tops & distressed denim shorts. I prefer wearing minimal clothing in the heat! Actually, I even go commando at times. In winter, my denim jacket is a must. Your go-to denim brand? Levi's & H&M. One unusual denim hack that only you know of? To fade-wash your jeans, take baking powder & apply it on the fabric. Now, grab a few sketch pens & add colour to your denim (in whichever way you'd like). After a while, run some Hydrogen Peroxide (readily available at pharmacies) all over the fabric, (with the help of a cotton dab) to arrive upon your DIY-ed pair of fade-wash jeans! Ever committed a denim faux pas? Multiple times! I visited a casino in Goa recently, wearing distressed jeans like a boss. In a matter of minutes, I had to head to buy myself an alternate pair of jeans, to gain entry inside. My jeans could be excessively distressed for their dress code, but in my defense—I was too drunk to notice. '30 days of Denim' is a social experiment of sorts, or in layman terms, the ultimate Denim guide, on how to inject your personality, and inherent sense of self into, say, a basic-ass pair of jeans. Bonus: It features 30 really cool men, all with very distinct style sensibilities, but primarily, each having an innate love for all things denim.
