    There are always a few things that people need to discuss before making their relationship official. Now, these discussions are never easy. However, one mustn't shy away from them. You might end up knowing many things that you didn't know about your partner before. Also, it's always better to place everything on the table before you get your feelings involved. 
    Obviously, you won't agree on everything but that’s how you understand what your significant other expects out of you. Also, before having this conversation, just make sure that you tell the truth to each other, or else there won't be a point in doing this at all. 
    So, here we go-

    There is always going to be a few things that drive you nuts and you wouldn't want them to come in between your relationship. For example, some people are okay with the fact that their partner is flirting with other people. However, for some, this could be a deal-breaker. Also, if one person in the relationship is an obsessive drinker and the other one doesn't like it at all. Make sure your partner is well informed about whatever things are total deal-breakers for you.

    Arguments are inevitable and honestly, it will be unhealthy if you and your partner never fight. But the curve of your relationship can change depending upon how you both handle your fights. There is always going to be a conflict, but, you both have to find a middle ground to get over it.

    For example, some people need space after fighting, others just want to resolve an issue before going to bed or else they won't be able to sleep. 
    So, it's fine to not want to be exactly similar and still being able to find a way out. If your partner wants to go to bed and not fight at 2:30 am, maybe, you can take up this conversation the next day. This way you get what you want and your partner gets what she wants.

    Your partner should be well aware of your dreams and aspirations and vice-versa. It's paramount for both people to know what their personal goals are and if they coincide with each other or not.

    Maybe, she wants to apply for a job in a different country and you want to never move to another country or you want to travel the world and work in different countries while she is a home-bird. 
    You both may want different things but still want to work it out, which is doable too, but at least you'll be aware of what the other person wants.

    This would matter if you two are getting married. Many couples fight over money and they aren't sure if they want to pool their money together or keep separate accounts.

     Now, if you are in a relationship, a lot of people also fight over spending money- one is spending too much and the other isn't contributing anything. 
    Also, if getting married, some people are crazy about saving money and few are not serious about it. This is another major problem in relationships. So, money does come between people and ruin a lot of things. However, we can stop that from happening by finding a solution beforehand.
    So, don't abscond from the 'relationship conversation.' Discussing these few points can take you a long way and make your bond stronger.

    Dhanush certainly must be on cloud nine, given just how massively successful his latest film, Jagame Thandhiram has been on Netflix.

    Not just in India, the film has been massively popular overseas as well. Netflix themselves say that over half of the viewers of the film came from overseas.

    To commemorate the success of this film, and in fact of the business of all his films of late, Dhanush recently performed the bhoomi pujan for his new home. 

    © Netflix
    Dhanush’s new home will be built in one of Chennai’s poshest residential areas, Poes Garden. The piece of land that Dhanush is going to build his house on, is apparently 19000 sq. ft in size. The price of the land, however, is still a mystery.

    What is not a mystery is just how lavish Dhanush’s house is going to be. The new house, which is already under construction, will comprise of four storeys and will cost about Rs 150 crores, just for the construction, if the reports that a popular Tamil entertainment channel called Valai Pechu, is to be believed. The report also claims that a total of eight plots were combined to come up with the 19,000 sq ft area.

    The furnishing and all other ancillary costs are yet to be decided. 

    Poes Garden is one of the most esteemed neighbourhoods not just in Chennai, but in India as well. Starting from top-notch film stars, to eminent politicians and industrialists, the neighbourhood houses the who’s who of India.

    The former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, J. Jayalalithaa, had a home in the neighbourhood, and so does Rajinikanth. In fact, Dhanush will actually be moving in closer to his father-in-law Rajinikanth, once the construction of his new home is complete.

    On the work front, Dhanush will be seen in the Russo brother’s next project, called The Gray Man, where he will be sharing the screen with Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and  Wagner Moura, the guy who played Pablo Escobar in Narcos. Dhanush is currently occupied with the principal photography for the film.

    If certain sources are to be believed, people close to Dhanush are lobbying with the Russo brothers for Dhanush to be made a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, there have been no confirmed reports from either of the camps.

    Well, whether the speculations are true or not, one thing is for certain - his fans would certainly go bonkers if he indeed manages to sing a Marvel film. And perhaps, so will we.

    There can be many legitimate reasons to call off a wedding and walk away. The groom’s family demanding dowry, the groom reeking of alcohol, or his lack of basic education. However, sometimes, the reason to call off a wedding can be downright bizarre.

    A groom from Odisha’s Keonjhar district called off his wedding when the baraatis accompanying him were not served mutton at his wedding. What’s more, is that the groom then got married to another woman from the same village where the wedding was supposed to take place, before returning to Keonjhar.

    The groom, who has been identified as Ramakant Patra by local news agencies, reached Bandhagaon village in Sukinda on Wednesday this week, to get married to the girl his parents had selected for him.

    Like all Indian Baraatis, in all Indian weddings, they too were fashionably late to the wedding venue. During this time, the Bride’s family proceeded to start the lunch service for their guests.
    In spite of the baraatis being fashionably late, the bride’s family welcomed them with great pomp, and then proceeded with the rituals. Once a part of the rituals was done, the groom’s guests were invited for lunch.

    Before the lunch, the baraatis had “requested” that they were served mutton curry. However, once they were seated for lunch, they realised that mutton wasn’t on the menu, even after their request, they got into a heated argument with the bride’s family, and started dissing the arrangements that were made.

    At this point, the groom too got involved in the tussle and finally called the wedding off. The groom’s family tried to persuade Patra but in vain. Soon, Patra and his family walked away from the wedding venue, and went to one of their relative’s house nearby, to spend the rest of the day.

    Here’s where things get interesting. That same evening, Patra got married to a different woman from the same village, without much pomp, in a rather understated manner.

    The first bride’s family, obviously did not take this well. However, local police say that no complaint has been registered by the family.

    If anyone wanted proof about just how weird and wild Indian weddings can be, this is a great example.

    One factor that every Team India fan, be it a supporter or a critic, would agree to, was the batting conditions being extremely difficult at least until the Reserve Day of the World Test Championship final at Southampton’s Ageas Bowl arena.
    Constant rain and the windy weather made it extremely difficult for the batters to look for those non-deviating balls to go for the big shots. The cloud overcast for the better half of the day made it rather difficult to see and the added help to the swing wasn’t making things any easier.

    As a result, none of the members of the Indian cricket team were able to hit the 50-run mark in either of the innings while some of the most well-known, and established batsmen struggled to even cross the 20-run threshold.
    Still somehow, all the blame for the collapse of the Indian batting lineup has ended up falling on the shoulders of top-order batsman of the squad, Cheteshwar Pujara, who made 15 and 8 runs in the first and second innings, respectively.
    View this post on Instagram
    In a conversation with Sports Tak, former Indian captain and all-time great Sunil Gavaskar defended Pujara and protested all the hate that was coming toward the 33-year old.
    “Forget about India, look at the way New Zealand batsmen like Kane Williamson, Devon Conway and even Ross Taylor started their innings. They were also slow at the beginning just like Pujara. Now if you still want to point a finger at him, then we can’t really do anything about it,” Gavaskar said with a straight face.

    “He (Pujara) is one of those guys, whose solidity allows the players on the other end of the pitch to comfortably play the big strokes, knowing that at least one side of the partnership is being held by Cheteshwar Pujara.”
    A lot of this negative focus also has to do with what Team captain, Virat Kohli said after losing the final, in the press conference. 

    "We will not wait for a year or so and have to plan ahead. If you see our white-ball team now, we have great depth and guys are ready and confident. The same thing needs to be done with Test cricket,” Kohli said while teasing the speculations of a major overhaul of the Indian Test squad.
    "You have to reassess and replan and understand what dynamics work for the team and how we can be fearless. Bring in (the) right people who have (the) right mindset to perform," the skipper added.
    A day after the conference, a BCCI official told The Times of India, that in the upcoming Test series against England, Kohli will be experimenting at the number three position while bringing in either KL Rahul or Hanuma Vihari to place at 4 instead of him. This would inevitably lead to Pujara’s ouster from the squad.

    The second season of The Family Man is seeing an unprecedented level of success and fame. Not only was it one of the most-watched Indian OTT series this year, but it also managed to climb to the fourth spot, on IMDb’s most popular shows in the world.

    Of course, all the actors, are getting heaps of praise for their performances, but a special mention has to go out to the antagonists of the series - Darshan Kumar, who plays Major Samir, Samantha Akkineni who plays Rajalakshmi, and of course, Shahab Ali, who plays Sajid.

    © Prime Video
    Shahab Ali in particular has been very impressive over the two seasons. In a recent interview, he shared how the fervorous response to The Family Man has been an overwhelming experience.

    © Prime Video
    Speaking to a national daily, he said, “I’ve been receiving sketches of Sajid and video edits. Frankly, I expected this, but I never thought it was going to get so big and people were going to like my characters so much. It has been overwhelming for me.”

    © Prime Video
    He also shared how financial constraints, at one point, almost prevented him from becoming an actor. “I started with street theatre in the Delhi University. The circumstances were not favourable so I did a course in journalism and even worked for a year for a newspaper. I always felt I was not very good at it. I was not enjoying it either.”

    He spoke to his mother about this, and soon, applied for the National School of Drama in New Delhi, after quitting his job. “Here my life changed completely,” he says. Shahab, who graduated from NSD in 2015, continued, “I cracked the audition for India’s first Broadway-style musical, Zangoora, where I performed for three years till 2018. Then I started doing Mughal-e-Azam, the musical, in Mumbai, and I am still a part of it.”

    When asked about financial stability and acting, Shahab had quite a lot to say.

    “Financially, it has been tough for me, and it still is. Both the musical shows gave me some stability. I was able to support my family and pursue my dream,” he said. Shahab added, “I wanted to come to Mumbai but knew that I couldn’t afford to be there. I could shift because of the stability these musicals gave me. The Family Man has also given me some hope.”

    However, the lockdown has been particularly hard for Shahab.“Before the release of The Family Man, I was in a very difficult situation. All work had stopped and I vacated my flat in Mumbai and came back home.” He says he still is in Delhi and is waiting to go back and resettle in Mumbai.

    Shahab will be seen in another web series, this time on MX Player on one of their originals. We just hope that an actor of his calibre does really well and establishes himself in the industry.

    Whether you hate cooking, don’t know how to make anything other than eggs and coffee or have a crunch of time to cook a proper meal, the solution is the same. Either order from restaurants or rely on maggi and different variations of eggs everyday.

    For cooking noobs or hostel students, this is an every struggle and we have all been there. There are days when you even get sick of having maggi and resort to cooking hacks to make your own experimental dish with whatever you’ve got in the fridge.

    Well, you don’t have to. Here are some quick and easy recipes that you can make with minimum ingredients and even lesser efforts. These are fuss-free and delicious recipes that you can score in no time.

    Not the classic Italian one but it takes less time, no oven and only a few ingredients. Spread some garlic butter on bread slices and stuff some cheese in between (grated or a slice). Sprinkle some oregano and chilli flakes and toast it on a pan.

    Put some garlic cloves, boiled chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, sesame seed and salt in a mixer grinder and half your job is done. Put this delicious hummus on a chapati and add some cucumber, onions, beetroot or any veggie to make a quick hummus wrap.

    All you need for this one-minute mini pizza is some pizza sauce and veggies. Spread the sauce onto the bread, put a cheese slice and add toppings of your choice. When you toast it, cover it with a lid to allow the cheese to melt and the base get crispy.

    It is as simple as it sounds and makes for a great breakfast or even a hassle-free dessert recipe (with ice cream on top). Spread a generous amount of nutella on bread. Grease the pan and cook it from both sides. Have it with coffee or a milkshake.
