    Having the courage to apologize when you're wrong is a virtue, doing it when you aren't is self-sabotage. 
    And even though there are a number of times when men tend to bend the knee in front of their partners and apologise just to end an argument, the cost of doing so is usually a tad bit too high.
    Yes, some women like men who have the nerve to accept their faults and gracefully take responsibility for them, but when you do that without really being in the wrong, it becomes problematic. It doesn't just put you at the risk of being taken for granted but also lowers your self-esteem and instigates feelings of self-doubt.

    Which is why, the next time you're thinking of saying you're sorry, make sure it ISN'T for any of these things:

    1. Not Being Expressive Enough  © iStock
    Thanks to society and its conditioning that made men believe showing emotions was bad and frowned upon, a lot of men around us suffer from the emotional capacity of a teaspoon as a consequence. 

    And because that is the only way men have known how to live like for a while, you shouldn't feel the need to apologise for it. 
    2. Being Over-Expressive © iStock
    While a lot of men struggle with showing emotions, there are also a bunch of men out there who do not like to refrain from 'feelings'. 

    If you're one of them, never feel the need to apologise for feeling 'too much' or expressing yourself. It isn't just healthy, it is also normal and should be encouraged.

    While the entire concept of saying no has been largely associated with women, whereas men are regarded to be ever-ready about everything you throw at them, it is important to remind yourself that you are too, allowed to say no. And be respected for it. 

    You’re just as human as anyone and should never apologise for not agreeing to everything anyone asks of you. 
    4. Your Beliefs © iStock
    As individuals, we are all different with a different set of ideation and belief systems that govern us. Some of us may believe in things very different from others, and that is absolutely okay. 

    There is no reason why you should ever apologise for standing up for what you believe in.
    5. Taking Time To Yourself © iStock
    Whether it is through a guy’s night out, a solo trip or just a few hours at the spa or a cricket field, guys should not feel apologetic or guilty for taking time out for themselves. 

    While it is good to be bankable and take responsibility for a lot of things, taking some responsibility for your own mental health and peace should also be a priority and it should not come with an apology.
    6. Saying The Truth © iStock
    By that, we don’t mean you should alter your answer when your girl asks you if she looks fine, but when it comes to the larger truths in life, you should never say sorry for speaking your mind. 

    You are entitled to saying your truth and it must never be followed with an apology, because while it may be bitter, it is never a wrong thing to be honest.
    7. Asking Questions © iStock
    No matter how obvious, dumb, intense or simply out of curiosity your question might be, you don’t have to apologise for being inquisitive. 

    It is okay to not know everything and asking about it should not make you feel like you’re doing anything wrong. Unless of course, what you’re asking is a woman’s age, in which case good luck to you!

    Americans and Hollywood movies would like to make people believe that whenever aliens from outer space visit the earth, they only visit or attack the USA. This has become a meme of sorts over the years. After all, they truly are the leaders when we speak of conspiracy theorists.

    India too, however, has its fair share of conspiracy theorists and they believe that India was visited by aliens from outer space, many many years before the US even existed. Some Indian conspiracy theorists believe that aliens came to India about 10,000 years ago.

    The reason why they believe this to be true is a series of paintings that have been found in the caves of Charama, in Chhatisgarh. Now, before you dismiss them off, they will present you with volumes of evidence. 

    © Reuters
    Here are 5 reasons why Indian conspiracy theorists believe that aliens visited India 10,000 years ago, and maybe, just maybe, why they might be right.

    The Humanoid Shapes © BCCL
    The cave paintings at Charama are not like your usual cave paintings. They certainly are a whole lot different from what people have seen at Lascaux in France. The one thing that sets Charama apart is the fact that their cave paintings show distinct forms of human-like figures. One of them can be assumed to be representing the local people who lived in the area about 10,000 years ago. The other humanoid figures are actually much closer to what we have come to recognise as aliens. The aliens also seem to wear some sort of headgear or a helmet.

    The Flying Saucers © BCCL
    The Charama rock paintings also have figures of flying saucers. What’s interesting is that the shapes have a very eerie resemblance to some of the most common flying saucers that we have seen in pop-culture and documents that conspiracy theorists all around the world cite when speaking of flying saucers. They even had the antennae and the “landing gear” that movies based on aliens have shown.

    Proximity To Another Such Site © BCCL
    Charama by itself is probably the only site of its kind that has aliens as cave paintings. But what makes things even more interesting, is its proximity to Madhya Pradesh’s Hoshangabad, another set of caves where similar paintings have been seen. Charama and Hoshangabad are actually roughly 250 kilometres apart. One interesting thing about the Hoshangabad paintings is that the ‘aliens’ there have large, humongous eyes as compared to their heads, and they have actually painted them.

    The Timing & Carbon Dating Of The Paintings © Reuters
    The Charama paintings were discovered in 2014. Upon discovery, several researchers and conspiracy theorists gathered and studied those paintings. A few scientific communities even managed to get the paintings dated by a process called carbon dating. While some of the paintings are about 2000 years old, most of them are actually 10,000 years old. Remember the one with the flying saucer? That one is said to be one of the oldest paintings in the cave.

    NASA’s SilenceIn 2018, NASA was actually roped in to study these paintings. They even sent out a team to collect some materials. However, nothing was ever heard from them, at least by the public. This has only fueled India’s conspiracy theorists, that NASA, at the behest of global leaders doesn’t want the public to know about aliens.
    The bottom line…
    Whether you believe in aliens or not, Charama and Hoshangabad are actually quite cool places to visit. Not only do they have some ethereal caves, but they also have quite a good number of tribal paintings. That by itself warrants a visit. And if you do believe in aliens, well, then a journey to this place should be nothing short of a pilgrimage.

    In a new development that will certainly add more drama and masala to your life, Salman Khan's Bigg Boss will now provide you with celebrity drama like never before.

    In what is considered to be a big shift in the entertainment industry, Viacom18 has announced its decision to launch the upcoming Bigg Boss Season 15 first on its over the top (OTT) platform Voot for the first six weeks.

    So, in case you ever thought you were traveling and could not reach back home in time for your latest Bigg Boss episode, the OTT platform will surely have you covered. Viacom 18's entertainment property is set to premiere the latest season of Salman Khan's Bigg Boss next month, and the OTT platform subscribers will have access to even more content.

    "Besides the one-hour episode on Voot, viewers will get a chance to watch exclusive cuts, round-the-clock content drops, and a fully interactive 24x7 live feed from the Bigg Boss house," said Viacom 18 in a statement.
    The move to give the popular show a digital push is said to be aimed at providing the audience unprecedented access, engagement, and interactivity to enable them to include themselves “in the journey of contestants in the Bigg Boss house.”
    According to reports, once the digital exclusive gets over, the show will then be moved onto Viacom's television channel Colors.
    “Unleashing its fandom and immense consumption power on digital, Bigg Boss has garnered significant patronage of brands and advertisers who continue to engage with the iconic property, season after season, making it India’s leading entertainment property – both on television and digital,” said Viacom18 in a statement.
    Viacom18 Digital Ventures’ Chief Operating Officer, Gourav Rakshit also poured in his thoughts at the launch of Big Boss on the OTT platform.
    “Voot has grown to become home to entertainment in India through industry-leading engagement and share-worthy content across originals, international, catch up and content-around-content segments. The launch of Bigg Boss OTT exclusively on Voot before TV is poised to be yet another game-changer in digital entertainment and a step forward in further cementing our position as the most loved consumer entertainment brand. This season is set to empower our audiences through unparalleled category-defining innovation through interactivity which we are sure will provide significant to our users, advertisers, and brands alike,” said Rakshit.

    Farhan Akhtar is a name which is easily synonymous with all things brilliant. The man can act, he is a director par excellence (we have DCH because of him duh!), he can sing well if you hand him a guitar, and he makes excellent choices as a producer.

    The best part of his versatility is that he ensures his characters are an extension of him and the line between reel and real life is blurred. Be it training for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, or now training to be a boxer for Toofan, time stops for him when he is preparing for his roles. It took him two years to train and learn how to live like a boxer for his next movie and if that’s not commendable as an actor, I don’t know what is.

    In a descriptive video shared by him and the team of Toofan, the entire intricacies of the process are shown. How he trained to pack a punch and not ‘fake’ a punch, how to excel as a boxer. Every moment of his character is not a result of good acting but a well planned choreography of learning boxing as a professional sport.


    This video is like a Pandora’s box of inspiration for anyone who believes that starting or picking up something new later in life is ‘too late’. The commendable physical and mental transformation that he has undergone has baffled everyone.
    Thanks amazing transformation man ! How do you do this in your mid 40s ??? Most of us in that bracket are pot bellied handsome hunks
    — Jag (@Jagz1975) July 9, 2021Interested to hear you draw parallels to the physical and mental work that went into preparing for this role, as opposed to Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
    — Aftab Ali Fasahath (@ondroad2royalty) July 9, 2021Kudos! You deserve the success to your reflecting hardwork! Waiting anxiously to see #toofan
    — Arhaan Mumbaiyya (@arhaanmumbaiyya) July 9, 2021If nothing else, then I guess watching the movie just for Farhan’s performance is reason enough! This video has left us chanting ‘aaj kuch toofani karte hai’.

    Forged in God’s own country, Kerala, Kalaripayattu is an ancient martial art that literally means ‘Art Of The Battlefield.' Kerala was a highly martial state once upon a time, where self defense using weaponry was considered an integral part of a child’s education. Kids were sent to Kalari dojos that held the same reverence as temples, as a rite of passage.
    Here are five things you must know about the ancient art of Kalaripayattu:
    Birthed Kung Fu And Other Martial ArtsLegend has it that Bodhidharma, an ancient Buddhist Monk was an ardent practitioner of Kalaripayattu. He was so enamoured by this combat style that he took it with him to China around 6th Century AD. Over there, Kalaripayattu evolved into Shaolin Kung Fu, which, in turn, birthed several other martial arts like Karate and Taekwondo over time.

    Meditative CombatThe meditative nature of several martial arts can be traced back to Kalaripayattu. This combat style melds high-octane acrobatics with several yogic movements. Meant to hone the mind as well as the body, Kalaripayattu believes that the inner workings of our minds can often resemble a battlefield, and to gain victory over it one must be disciplined and mindful.

    Uses WeaponsOwing to Kerala’s martial origins, use of weaponry constitutes a formative part of Kalaripayattu. Practitioners need to first master combat using ordinary wooden sticks, before they are allowed to graduate to more lethal weapons such as spears, daggers, swords and Urumi, a coiled sword that requires a high level of skill to wield it. An important point to be noted is that Kalaripayattu is intended as a form of self defense rather than initiating attack.

    Inspired By NatureNature is often the best teacher, and Kalaripayattu has held that belief for eons. A testament to it’s holistic nature is how gracefully the movements of several animals are incorporated into this ancient martial art. The acrobatic leaps, rolls and dives are all movements inspired by the habits and fighting techniques of animals such as tigers, elephants, horses, lions, cobras and fighting cocks.

    Banned By The BritishWhen India was colonised by the British, the practice of Kalaripayattu was outlawed. They feared a revolution emboldened by this ancient martial art could very well spell doom for their rule. This led to fewer people practicing it within Kerala. However, post independence, Kalaripayattu has been steadily reclaiming its relevance in society.

    One must look at  Kalaripayattu as a means to achieve holistic health as it not only nourishes the body, but the mind as well. The benefits of Kalaripayattu can reverberate across different aspects of your life.

    Since India doesn’t have a national language but numerous regional languages, we use Hindi and English to communicate. Sure, it unites people divided by the language barrier but English is more than just a language in India. 
    Sadly, it is a parameter to measure someone’s intelligence and calibre and even whether they will succeed in life.

    A lot of people who go to non-English medium schools have a hard time proving their worth even today, all because they don’t know a certain language. However, there are people who despite going to a non-English medium school not only have a successful career but also a wholesome life.

    This Twitter thread is a testimony of exactly that. 

    IPS Officer Arun Bothra took to Twitter to share his story about how he learnt English later in life but succeeded anyway. 
    He wrote, “Coming from a govt school in a small town, I learnt English pretty late. Have done well in my professional and personal life so far. Better than many wokes who are busy judging people on their English language skills.”

    Desis could relate and started sharing their own stories of how not knowing English couldn’t hold them back in life. These people prove that English is a mere language and should be treated as one. 

    My English is also very poor sir but i am successfully Practicing as a homeopathy doctor in Germany for so long. I don't know German either and prescribe same sweet medicines for every disease
    — Dr. Mukesh Harane, BHMS (@drmukeshharane) July 8, 2021My father failed in English in 10th as he ws from a Telugu medium school. He’s a btech, MTech from iit Kharagpur, doctorate in engineering from imperial college of science and technology, London
    — Rajeshwari 🇮🇳 (@wordsandviews) July 8, 2021I can relate to this, Sir ji. Growing up in rural Bengal, non-English schooling and college, I learned basic English communication using a Reader’s Digest Guide to Spoken English & self-conversing in mirror.

    At 23, I graduated from a US College. Happy with the journey so far.
    — Sangeet Kothari (@SangeetKothari) July 8, 2021My English teacher often proudly pronounced in front the whole class that since I can't speak or understand English, I will never amount to anything in life.

    I think I turned out all right.

    Linguistic skills are tools of communication not indicators of one's intellect.
    — Ms. Kaur (@quietframe) July 8, 2021I joined a convent in 3rd std...was made fun of for not knowing to speak in Eng but in 6 months I was the topper of my class in all subjects including Eng.

    As I say colonial hangover hai

    Btw I still don't know Garhwali,Kashmiri, Tamil, sanskrit but nobody made fun of that
    — Ashu Tomar 🇮🇳 (@ashutomarbhan) July 8, 2021 That’s true. We won’t mock someone who doesn’t know French, Spanish or German, right? Then, why English, which is not even our own language anyway?
