    Cinema is a religion for Indians. For many, it depicts the realities of their lives. Or sometimes it can even inspire us to overcome our limitations and take the next step forward in our personal journeys. 
    When a much beloved actor delivers a well executed dialogue, it sticks to the attention of the masses. It often even evolves into a war cry, an inspiration to keep moving when things get difficult.
    Sports also finds a sacred place in the hearts of several Indians, and with it being Olympics season, we’ve compiled 7 iconic dialogues from Bollywood Sports Movies that will inspire you to think like an Olympian: 
    1. Chak De India“ Sattar(70) Minute, sattar minute hai tumhare paas. Shayad yeh.. tumhare zindagi ke sab se… khaas sattar minute. Aaj tum aacha khelo ya bura khelo, yeh sattar minute tumhe zindagi bhar yaad rahegi. Tho kaise khelna hai.. aaj mein tumhe nahin bataunga.. Bas itna kahunga, ki jao aur yeh sattar minute jee bhar kar khelna.. kyunki iske baad aane wali zindagi chahe kuch sahi ho ya na ho.. chahe kuch rahe ya na rahe.. haro ya jeeto..lekin yeh sattar minute.. tumse koi nahin cheen sakta, Kyunki mein jaanta hu ki aagar yeh sattar minute is team ka har player apne zindagi ki sabse badiya hockey khel gaya.. tho yeh satar min khuda bhi tumse vapas nahin maang sakta.”
    I remember watching this scene in the theaters and getting goosebumps on the spot. Coach Kabir's raw and deliberate monologue inspires his hockey team to give it their all. This dialogue continues to motivate not just athletes, but every individual to give their best in everything that they do.   

    2. Toofan“Jab jab zulm ki aandhi badti hai ... usse rokne ke liye ek toofan aata hai”
    When things get tough, you’ve gotta become a force to be reckoned with. That’s what Farhan Akhtar’s Toofan preaches. 

    3. Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar “Aakhri chand second hi toh haar aur jeet ka faisla karte hai”
    Sometimes victory is determined by the finer margins, so never give up till the whistle blows. Relive this epic race from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander!
     4. Dangal “Bahaut Ho Gayi Pehelwani, Ab Dangal Hoga”
    Another goosebumps-inducing delivery. Don’t be afraid to harness your fears to get to your goals! 

    5. Sultan“Qismat Aaj Agar Mujhe Harane Me Lag Jati Hai Toh Aaj Yeah Sultan Ali Khan Apni Qismat Khud Likhega”
    Every Olympian knows that to truly be victorious, you need to be bold enough to take your fate into your hands. That fearlessness is what separates the winners from the rest. 

    6. Iqbal“Dimaag aur dil jab ek saath kaam karte hai na ... toh farak nahi padta hai ki dimaag kaunsa hai aur dil kaunsa hai”
    There comes a point in every athlete’s life when lessons learnt by the body becomes instinct of the mind. It is this state of mental and physical union that makes a champion. 

    7. Lagaan "Chulhe se roti nikale ke liye, chimte ko apna mooh jalahe padi."
    The way to the top may not be comfortable, it will often be painful even. Your dreams come true, when you become unstoppable. 

    Remember, you can achieve anything that you set your mind to. It’s important to have the right mindset! 
    What are some Bollywood dialogues that inspire you?

    ‘Chak de, oh chak de India’, this is all that is echoing in the hearts of every Indian in every corner of the globe right now. The history that got scripted thanks to our Indian women’s hockey team is a moment that is etched in time. 

    The Indian team beat Australia in a nail-biting match and fixed a seat in the Olympics semi-finals. 
    Indians all over are basically convinced that this iconic moment feels and looks like a scripted depiction of that iconic match scene from Chak De! India, and the coach of the team, Sjoerd Marijne, who is on cloud nine himself, is basically the ‘real life’ Kabir Khan who came alive on the field.

    — Pravin Agarwal (@pravin_sterlite) August 2, 2021It’s basically a very emotional moment for us as Indians and any amount of praise for these fierce women and their coach is small.
    Every Indian was reminded of #ShahRukhKhan from #ChakDeIndia after they heard "The first time ever an Indian Women's hockey team will be seen in semi-finals"️#WomenHockey #Olympics2020 #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/3d4mm05qql

    — Sundar G (@sundarg123) August 2, 2021The biggest surprise, which was basically an icing on the cake, was that SRK, the ‘reel’ Kabir Khan took to social media and poured his congratulations for this 'real life' Kabir Khan who has mentored the team to this pedestal.
    Haan haan no problem. Just bring some Gold on your way back….for a billion family members. This time Dhanteras is also on 2nd Nov. From: Ex-coach Kabir Khan. https://t.co/QcnqbtLVGX
    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) August 2, 2021
    All things said and done, the women and their exceptional coach deserve major accolades for allowing us to experience this moment of joy. 
    On that note, maybe watching Chak De! India again would be a good idea.

    An hour passes slowly, but years go by quickly. Deep stuff. 

    This is not a random quote, it’s a fact. Science says time really does seem to fly as we get older.
    Of course, there are a few theories as to why that happens—some blame it on the brain’s internal clock that runs more slowly as we age, others think decreasing levels of dopamine is the culprit. 
    Anyway, the point is that you will, eventually, say goodbye to your smooth-skin and watch it turn into a wrinkled raisin—no matter how expensive your eye creams are. 
    But researchers have concluded that eating fruits and veggies is the safest and healthiest way to fight dull complexion and fine lines. 
    The Best Anti-Ageing Foods Add these anti-ageing foods to your daily diet and your skin will show the glow. 
    1. PapayaThis superfood is packed with a variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that may help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin elasticity.
    Papaya contains:
    Vitamin A, C, K and EPotassiumCalciumMagnesiumPhosphorus B vitaminsPapain, an enzyme that’s found in many exfoliating products, in papaya acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. 
    So yes, eating papaya regularly or using products containing papain can help your body shed dead skin cells and reveal soft, vibrant and glowing skin.
    Pro tip: Eat a few slices of papaya with your breakfast or use papaya extract for instant results. It’s a great conditioner for your hair too. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2218__
    2. BlueberriesAlong with vitamin A and C, blueberries are also rich in an age-defying antioxidant called anthocyanin. This powerful antioxidant is responsible for blueberries’ deep blue colour. 
    Blueberries contain all the right nutrients to save the skin from sun damage, stress and pollution by preventing collagen loss.
    Pro tip: Add a variety of berries to your smoothie bowl or consume blueberries in their powder form.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1587__
    3. Red Bell PepperAnother superfood that’s loaded with antioxidants and is a hero when it comes to anti-ageing foods. In addition to their high vitamin C content, red bell peppers contain carotenoids.
    These powerful antioxidants are plant pigments responsible for the bright red, yellow and orange colours in many fruits and vegetables.
    Carotenoids can protect the skin from sun damage, pollution and environmental stressors as they have a variety of anti-inflammatory properties.
    Pro tip: Add baked red bell pepper to your salads or simply, add them to your dips.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2030__
    4. BroccoliBroccoli is an anti-inflammatory powerhouse packed with:
    Vitamin C helps your body produce collagenVitamin K helps in reducing the appearance of stretch marks, scars, dark spots and under-eye circleFibreFolateCalciumA variety of antioxidantsLuteinPro tip: Steam your broccoli before eating or add it to your sauces. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2219__
    5. NutsNuts are a great source of vitamin E, especially almonds. Vitamin E can help repair skin tissue, restore skin moisture and protect skin from damaging UV rays.
    Walnuts contain anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids that may help strengthen the skin’s cell membrane, add a natural glow to the skin and protect it from getting damaged under the sun.
    Pro tip: Eat your bag of nuts without peeling of their skin. Studies have shown that 50% or more of the antioxidants are present in their skin. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2220__
    6. SpinachSpinach is a great source of antioxidants that help to oxygenate and replenish the entire body. The greens are also super hydrating. 
    This versatile leafy green is packed with vitamins A, C, E, K, magnesium, iron and lutein.
    Vitamin C helps to keep the skin firm and smooth. Vitamin A promotes strong and shiny hair. And vitamin K reduces inflammation.
    Pro tip: Spinach soup isn’t the tastiest so try palak paneer instead. Add a handful of spinach to your smoothie or sandwich.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2221__
    7. AvocadoAvocados contain high amounts of inflammation-fighting fatty acids that promote soft, smooth and supple skin. They also contain other anti-ageing nutrients including vitamins K, C, E, A, B vitamins and potassium. 
    Vitamin A in avocados can help in shedding dead skin cells. Carotenoid content in them may block toxins and sun damage.
    Pro tip: Throw some avocado into a smoothie, salad or on your toast. You can eat avocado as is or make a bowl of guacamole. You can also try it topically as an incredible nighttime moisturiser to fight inflammation, reduce redness and prevent wrinkles.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2222__
    8. Sweet PotatoesBeta-carotene, an antioxidant that’s responsible for sweet potato’s orange colour, is converted to vitamin A. 
    Vitamin A helps restore skin elasticity, speeds up the skin cell turnover, resulting in softer, youthful skin.
    Sweet potatoes are also a great source of vitamin C and E—both of them contribute to a radiant complexion.  
    Pro tip: Whip up a sweet potato and add it to your toast or do it the old school way and make sweet potato chaat. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__853__
    9. Pomegranate SeedsPomegranates are high in vitamin C and a variety of potent antioxidants. It’s a medicinal fruit that protects your body from free radical damage and reduces inflammation levels in our system.
    This delicious fruit also contains punicalagin which can help preserve collagen in the skin.
    Pro tip: Sprinkle these sweet little seeds on your salad, poha or khichdi.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2223__
    10. Dark ChocolateDark chocolate is a vegetable and it’s loaded with flavanols, which are known to enhance your beauty by increasing blood flow to the skin. Flavanols can also absorb UV radiation and protect your skin from getting damaged in the sun.
    Pro tip: Ditch the milk chocolate, focus on the variety of dark chocolates. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1807__
    11. OrangesOranges are a great source of vitamin C, which is one of the most important nutrients for people who want to boost their immunity, clear their complexion and maintain a youthful appearance.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2224__
    Final ThoughtsOther than the fruits and veggies we’ve already served on your plate, consider adding yoghurt, oatmeal, turmeric, saffron and ghee to your diet as well. Let the toxins out through workout sweat and hydrate your way to younger-looking skin!

    If you’re an Apple Music subscriber, you can now listen to music in lossless audio quality from your iPhone, iPad or even the iPod touch. 
    While most music on streaming apps offer lower bitrates, Apple’s new Lossless Audio feature lets users stream higher quality audio files. What’s great is that users don’t have to pay extra to avail this feature. In order to experience the higher quality audio, you do require the correct audio gear as iPhones, iPads, and  Apple TV 4K don’t come with a headphone jack. 
    While being stuck home due to the pandemic, I decided to experience Apple Music’s Lossless Audio library with my current setup. 
    © james-yarema-Unsplash
    If you don’t have the right equipment, you can still experience Lossless audio from your iPhone or MacBooks internal speakers but that is not really the optimum experience. Up until now, music streaming was limited to 320 Kbps MP3 or AAC formats which are ideal for transmitting over Bluetooth.  However, for higher CD-quality encodings such as 16-bit/44.1 kHz to 24-bit/192 kHz, there aren’t many options for streaming apart from Apple Music and Tidal (which is not officially available in India).  

    How To Listen To Lossless Audio On Apple Music Since Lossless Audio files are far larger in file size, you really can’t experience it over Bluetooth with accessories such as the AirPods Pro or even the AirPods Max. That’s because Bluetooth Audio does not have the capability to transmit such large files and instead it is recommenced to used wired headphones and a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)  for the best experience.
    © tim-umphreys-unsplash
    The easiest and most cost-effective way to experience Lossless Music on Apple Music and an iPhone is by using Apple’s Lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter. The adapter itself has an in-built DAC which supports up to 24-bit/48 kHz lossless audio. This adapter can be bought separately or if you have an older iPhone you would have got it along with the iPhone in the box. 

    If you want to experience audio files higher than 24-bit/48 kHz, you will then need an external DAC such as the Shanling UP 4 or any of the DACs made by FiiO. You will then need to connect both the Lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter and the DAC in order to experience higher-quality audio files. The case remains the same for Android smartphones as well where you will require a USB-C to 3.5mm jack dongle that connects to a DAC which has support for higher audio encodings. 
    What Is Lossless Audio Lossless Audio is a process where while encoding or compressing a music track, it doesn’t lose any data. It’s like an original copy of the original file created in the studio or in a producer’s DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). 
    © Apple
    This means when people listen to music that is in Lossless format, they are experiencing music that did not lose any data in the frequency range. Apple uses its own ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) format which is compatible with Apple devices. It’s essentially the same as FLAC but does not have royalty fees and in essence, is open-source. 

    Why I Prefer Lossless Audio On Apple Music Apart from the fact that I don’t have to pay extra, Lossless Audio on the service lets me enjoy music as the music producers intended me to. I often listen to music that I intend to play at my gigs at nightclubs and the only way I can enjoy original recordings is by hooking up my iPhone with a DAC or a powered stereo system. This makes it far easier for me to make a decision for buying music off Beatport as I can be 100% sure how a track would sound on a commercial sound system. 
    With lossless audio, I can hear almost every bit of detail from the original recording which is not only an enjoyable experience, it also helps me in prepping for gigs. MP3 and AAC are great for casual users who do not have enough storage space or not enough data for streaming large files. However, for audiophiles, Lossless Audio is a blessing in disguise as it has become far more convenient to listen to high-quality audio files.
    If you prefer CD or Vinyl audio quality like me and wanted to experience the same on your digital device, Apple Music’s offering is the only feasible one right now that works as advertised. You just have to make sure you have the right equipment to experience the best audio quality possible.

    Your phone rings. The notification gives away the app. It’s tinder seducing you with the latest match for you. 
    You quickly comply because it’s not often that the stars align for you like this.  After all, the last person you matched with was a couple of months ago. And that didn’t end well, did it? 
    We’re ever the optimists. 
    She’s sweet, is passionate about her work, and has a soft spot for your favourite TV show as well. The conversations are endless, it almost seems like you both would never run out of conversations. 
    Boy were you wrong. It’s been a week, and she’s not responded to any of your texts yet. You tried your best to not impose yourself, to be honest and sincere with them. And they reassured you that they appreciate your efforts. 
    You went ahead and told them how you’re not a fan of ghosting people, they even nodded in virtual agreement. But somehow you’re left with yet another potential love interest’s number, seemingly stuck in relationship purgatory.
    So do you delete their number?
    Naw. Her ghosting you just made her all the more sexier, haina?
    Of course. 
    Here are 6 reasons why why us men are suckers for women who ghost us: 
    1. Because we have all the time in the world - It’s not like we’ve goals and aspirations in life. It’s not like we’ve ever been clear and up front about our expectations from the beginning.  It’s not like being ghosted makes us feel like a waste of time. How does any of that stuff matter right?

    2. Humare Emotion Ki Koi Value Hi Nahi Hai - Emotions? Kaunse emotions? We’re guys, we’re not expected to have an emotional bandwidth at all. Take all those feelings and chuck it in a bin for biohazard contents. After all agar koi ghost karta hai toh you just deal with  it. Don’t complain.

    3. We love the chase? - Apparently we’ve taken the mandate for chasing everything in life, especially romantic interests who are more indecisive than most modern day politicians. It’s our inheritance after all. We’re tasked with the perennial responsibility to chase-chase-chase. Even if the girl ghosted you, they’d often have the audacity to say that we didn’t want them (chase them) enough?  Aisa lagta hai chase karne ka theka sirf ladkon le rakha hai.

    4. Maangi Honesty, Mila Dhoka - Listen, when she asks you about anything, be honest. Give it your all. Even if you get ghosted eventually, It’s all right.  They love a guy who’s sincere and up front… in theory. 

    © Unsplash
    5. Kyunki Boring Hone Ka Haq Sirf Unka Hai - Guys, repeat after me. You shall NEVER be boring. Because being boring is a cardinal sin in the dating world. Since we’re their chosen class clown, you are solely responsible for keeping things fun and entertaining. We love it when our romantic interests ghost us because we got tired and exhausted being their one person carnival.

    6. Dost Se Ghost -With all the talks of sincerity and feelings that you’d shared with them, you'd half expect them to be respectful enough to not ghost you. After all, if nothing else you can at least be friends with them right? That’s where you’re wrong buddy. They can veer in and out into your life like the remnants of a haunted spirit, as and when they feel like. Healthy boundaries are too overrated, babes

    Even if this match abandons ship without any heads up, don’t fret too much. There’s always another potential romantic interest waiting for her chance to ghost you like you deserve to. So just suck it up, boys.

    Shilpa Shetty is constantly being scrutinized and attacked by trolls after her husband Raj Kundra was arrested in connection to making porn movies and sharing them on OTT platforms. 

    A few friends from the industry have extended their support to Shilpa, however, they have been criticized for doing so.
    Earlier this week, Hansal Mehta tweeted in favour of Shilpa and wrote, “If you cannot stand up for her at least leave Shilpa Shetty alone and let the law decide? Allow her some dignity and privacy. It is unfortunate that people in public life ultimately are left to fend for themselves and are proclaimed guilty even before justice is meted out.”
    Now, actress Richa Chadha has spoken out in support of Shilpa but people have rebuked her action by asking her tough questions. 
    Richa said women are always blamed for men’s mistakes. “We’ve made a national sport out of blaming women for the mistakes of the men in their lives. Glad she’s suing,” Chadha’s tweet read.
    © Richa Chadha Twitter
    Now, some people on Twitter are asking Richa how is it possible that Shilpa had no idea what her husband was doing with them staying under the same roof. 

    They even went to say that Richa is making it a 'women empowerment' issue but this is not what people are trying to say, adding that Bollywood is supporting Shilpa but no one is talking about the women who were manipulated and abused by Raj Kundra himself.

    Do you agree with people’s opinions? Let us know in the comments section below.

    Meanwhile, Shilpa has released a statement and said that the past few days have been challenging on both the personal and professional front.
    She wrote, “Yes! The past few days have been challenging, on every front. There have been a lot of rumours and accusations. A lot of unwarranted aspersions on me cast by the media and (not so) well-wishers as well. A lot of trolling/questions posed…. not only to me but also to my family,” the actor wrote in a statement that has been shared on social media.”
    She added that she will not comment on the case itself, she wrote, “MY STAND… I HAVE NOT COMMENTED YET and will continue to refrain from doing so on this case as it is subjudice, so please stop attributing false quotes on my behalf.”

    Asking everyone to respect her privacy, she wrote, “I am a proud law-abiding Indian citizen and a hardworking professional for the last 29 years. People have put their faith in ME & I’ve never let anyone down. So, most importantly, I request you to respect my family’s and ‘my right’ to privacy in these times.”
    Well, it’s somewhere wrong to pinpoint Shilpa until there’s concrete proof against her and the police have clearly denied her involvement in the entire case.

    The most awaited statement of actor Shilpa Shetty after her husband Raj Kundra was arrested for allegedly creating and distributing pornographic content has finally been released. 
    View this post on Instagram
    The actor had recently approached the Bombay High Court asking for restrictions against defamatory content on social media and websites. 
    Shilpa had mentioned that many reports that are circulating online post the arrest of her husband Raj Kundra regarding the porn racket case are defamatory and damaging her reputation.
    She has now said in a statement that she has been subjected to a ‘media trial.’ 
    On Saturday, hearing Shilpa’s plea, the Mumbai HC refused to restrain media, commenting that it will “have a chilling effect on the freedom of the press”. 
    The court also said, “Reportage of something based on what police have said is not defamatory.”

    Shilpa Shetty took to Instagram and wrote, “My statement. Yes! The past few days have been challenging, on every front. There have been a lot of rumors and accusations.

Reiterating my philosophy of, as a celebrity “Never complain, never explain”. All I will say is, as it’s an ongoing investigation, I have full faith in the Mumbai Police & the Indian judiciary.”
    She further elaborated, “As a family, we are taking recourse to all our available legal remedies. But, till then I humbly request you - especially as a MOTHER - to respect our privacy for my children’s sake and request you to refrain from commenting on half-baked information without verifying the veracity of the same. I am a proud law-abiding Indian citizen and a hardworking professional for the last 29 years. People have put their faith in ME & I’ve never let anyone down. So, most importantly, I request you to respect my family’s and ‘my right’ to privacy in these times. We don’t deserve a media trial. Please let the law take its course. Satyamev Jayate!”

    Unlike Javed Jaffrey, who carved a niche for himself in Bollywood with his on-point comic timing, his son Meezaan Jaffrey was seen in an intense character in his debut movie Malaal in 2019. The film amassed decent reviews from the audience and critics as well. His next project Hungama 2 also recently released on OTT platform Disney Hotstar, in which he essayed a whole new character.

    But before Meezaan became a famous, well-known face in the industry, did you know he played Ranveer Singh's body double in the movie Padmaavat for a few scenes? Not just that, he also assisted director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Ranveer played the role of Alauddin Khilji. In an interview, Meezaan reminisced about a scene from the movie and called it a nerve-wracking experience. He added that he memorised a few lines and had to enact Ranveer's mannerisms.

    © Instagram/Meezaan Jaffrey
    Technically, before Malaal, it was Padmaavat, which marked his actual debut. He said in a new interview that he learned a lot on the sets of the movie and observed all the three main leads, including Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor. He said, "Bhansali sir trusted me, and he would rehearse scenes with me. He would record the rehearsals and the blockings, and he'd give me feedback on my performance."

    © Instagram/Meezaan Jaffrey
    He also recalled another intense scene, and this was when Ranveer was unavailable. He said, "I was there on set, in costume and makeup. I hadn't eaten anything, so I was really stressed. I was a little late, and it took an hour for the prosthetics and for me to get into the look. I learned the script in that one hour."

    © Instagram/Meezaan Jaffrey
    He further added, "The moment I came out, I was already nervous about doing proper acting in front of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, it was technically my 'silver screen debut', and there were 500 junior artistes around me, and I had to deliver a whole speech. Then an assistant director comes to me and shows me Ranveer's version of the shot, and asks me to replicate his mannerisms. I was like, 'why couldn't you have told me before! I was already so tense'. But regardless, I went ahead, I was terrified, I was in bad shape."

    Meezaan thought he would have to do a proper scene but later realised his face won't be seen on the camera. However, the actor said that he wouldn't forget this incident.
    © Instagram/Meezaan Jaffrey
    Meezaan had also said in one of the interviews before that when Bhansali met him; he was unaware who Meezaan was. He mentioned, "When I first sat across Sanjay sir, he did not know anything about me, my background or who my father was. He just saw me and said, 'You are a star and you should become an actor'. I did not know what to say or how to react because I had not thought of acting."

    © Instagram/Meezaan Jaffrey
    Sanjay Leela Bhansali invited him on the sets of Bajirao Mastani and asked him to observe everything. Right after this, Bhansali said that he would launch Meezaan in the industry and that's when the magic of Malaal happened!

    Not to sound like a hypocrite, considering I am the kind of a person who spends three fourths of her paycheck not on clearing pending bills but shopping carts that I’ve already made three weeks ago, but buyer’s remorse is a real thing and boy, does it hit you hard...
    You see, for people like me for whom shopping is more of a retail therapy, it is very easy to get sucked into the black hole of impulse buying. These are the purchases we make in the spur of the moment at the billing counter strategically decorated with reasonable merchandise, or when we’re feeling a tad bit too adventurous, generous or sometimes simply pressured by a very good salesman. 

    via GIPHY
    But chances are, and they are good, that most of these impulse purchases will come free with a sense of regret attached to them. Why, you ask? Because here are a few such things that you will always regret buying!

    One of the biggest scams in history, extended warranties on electrical appliances and gadgets is like throwing money directly down the drain. Not only do we often forget that we bought the warranty, but also by the time we do remember, we’re past the date of the warranty and all we’re left with is a bucket load of regret for paying extra.

    Okay, so this is more of a problem for the ones who aren’t exactly fitness buffs but are enthusiastic enough to give home-work out a try. While there's nothing wrong with trying to exercise at home, most of the time that treadmill is only used for drying clothes and those kettlebells simply collect dust in a corner of your room that you don’t even look at.

    It’s closing time, the bartender has announced the last call for all orders and you crossed over from tipsy to drunk 3 drinks ago. Yet, tempted by the last call, you order for one last drink of the night, one that mostly ends up in you puking your guts out. The regret is as heavy as the hangover the next morning.

    Whether it is getting lured by how much people are earning through crypto or getting convinced by one of your friends to invest in the stock market, simply on instinct or hearsay. But spending money on purchasing shares of companies that you know nothing about is perhaps the easiest way to say goodbye to what could be your savings.

    The difference between fashion trends and fads is that the former still sticks around for enough time for you to try them on without looking like a fool. Whereas fashion fads, as the name suggests, fade away much quicker than most and make for terrible buys. Think of those huge buckle belts back in the day that might still be lurking in the darkest corners of your wardrobe, unused…

    All those extra bucks you spend on an annual membership for online zumba classes or yoga sessions simply sit and eat dust as most of us never get ourselves to get up and actually avail them. Including the ones we simply forget to unsubscribe until they drain our bank accounts month after month..

    Usually I’d say that one must only aspire to shop during sale season, for the kind of deals you avail at the time are simply amazing. But there are also times when just to give yourself the satisfaction of buying during an impressive one plus one offer, you end up buying way more than you planned or needed. Because one thing leads to another and before you know it, you have 17 pairs of shoes with nowhere to go.

    A man got electrocuted while playing games on a console with a wired controller during a storm when lightning struck the ground near his home. 
    It’s probably one of the rarest and most bizarre ways to get electrocuted by lightning through a game controller.  
    As reported by WKRN, the man was playing games after dinner and when he was electrocuted he had to call emergency services for assistance.

     "Josh Rice, the Assistant Director of Robertson County Emergency Medical Services told News 2 that medics had responded around 9:15 p.m. Saturday to a call of a man struck by lightning in Greenbrier.  

    When crews arrived, they said they determined the man’s house was either hit or the lightning struck nearby, and he suffered a shock through a video game controller.” 
    The freak accident took place over the weekend and took place during a storm in Robertson County, Tennessee. 
    Luckily the man was able to call emergency services after the incident. Medical staff did an initial check-up and was found to be uninjured. He did not need to be transported to the hospital for any further assistance.

    This is not the only time a gamer has been shocked via a game controller due to a lightning strike. 

    Last year, Karma, a professional Rocket League player was also shocked during a storm while holding a wired controller. 
    While using a wireless controller does help in preventing these incidents, older consoles tend to only use wired controllers. It is also worthy to point out that professionals prefer to use wired controllers for gaming due to latency issues.  
    In Karma’s incident, she suffered burns to her hand after getting the shock and even melted the USB port on the controller. 
    Thankfully, the Robertson County incident did not result in the man getting any burns or frying any of the equipment he was using.  
    Lightning strikes can cause damage to electronics, gaming consoles and other kinds of equipment if certain precautions have not been taken. One of the more common ways for a nearby lightning strike to enter homes is via wires or pipes that extend outside the home.  
    The energy from these strikes can travel through communication wires such as phones, cable TV or internet, from a home’s electrical panel or through conductive metal found in plumbing. This is why it is essential to invest in surge protectors that protect your electronics and yourself from such freak incidents.

    Sooraj Pancholi, who has only been seen in a few Bollywood movies, so far, recently said that he is somehow satisfied after his trial in the Jiah Khan death case has been moved to a special CBI court.
    Jiah Khan was found dead in her Mumbai apartment in 2013 and her then-boyfriend, Sooraj was charged with abetment to suicide.
    In a recent interview, Sooraj said that the last eight years have been extremely tough for him and that his image has been completely ruined. 
    He added that he ‘should be penalized’ only if convicted, but if he was acquitted, he ‘deserve(s) to be set free from these charges’.

    Sooraj said, “I am a little satisfied with this because my case should have been in the special CBI Court from the beginning. Now that the matter is in the CBI Court, I am hopeful that we will see closure to this. If the court finds me guilty, I should be penalized, but if it doesn’t, I deserve to be set free from these charges.”
    He further added, “This period has been tough for me. I trust that there will be light at the end of this tunnel. It has been tough on me because the industry and everything around it works on perception and the perception about me has not been what I would have liked it to be. It was ruined years ago. I don’t know how I survived the last eight years; my family’s support has seen me through it all.”

    He also expressed how he wants to forget everything that he has gone through in the last couple of years and just wants to move forward.
    Jiah Khan gained fame after her notable works in films like Nishabd, Ghajini, and Housefull. 
    She was found dead on June 3, 2013, in her Mumbai apartment and her death was ruled as a suicide, however, her mother, Rabiya has maintained that she was murdered.
