    โ€œSexuality shouldn't define anyone. It doesn't define me. Love should be at the core of what you do.โ€

    - Jessie J (Singer/Songwriter)
    When I came out as bisexual in 2015, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by friends & family that understood and supported my decision. But, many are not so fortunate. We hear stories about parents rejecting their kids, queerphobic messages on social media that hamper our mental health and just a fear of being cast off by society.ย 
    Even though we are all moving towards creating a more inclusive and accepting world, every member of the LGBTQIA+ community faces some stereotype or other on a daily basis.ย 
    ยฉ A Little Late With Lilly Singh
    I was subjected to my fair share of creepy, indecent and crass remarks as a bisexual on dating apps. Yes, you read that right, even people our age who are supposed to be โ€œwokeโ€ and โ€œinclusiveโ€ have no understanding of how to speak to an out and proud queer individual.ย 

    So, grab your notebook and take note of things that no bisexual wants to hear:
    1. โ€œThreesome?โ€This is a patent question that I get asked on every dating app that I have ever used. As soon as my match finds out that I am bisexual the only thing that they are interested in knowing is whether I have in the past or would be open to having a threesome in the future.ย

    My sexuality is not a way for you to live out your sexual fantasy!

    2. โ€œI Canโ€™t Even Imagine Being With A Manโ€Okay? So, donโ€™t. Me being bisexual is not an indication for every straight man to walk the same road but it is definitely time to learn what not to say!ย 
    Finding other men attractive does not make you gay, complementing their outfit does not make you gay, having a fashion sense does not make you gay similarly matching with an LGBTQIA+ member is not an opening for you to showcase how straight you are.ย 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1800__
    3. โ€œYour Oral Skills Must Be Through The Roofโ€Whenever I hear this statement, it makes me want to delete the app and give up on mankind. It is crass, cheap, in poor taste and just unsophisticated to make this statement.ย 
    MensXP
    Me being bisexual is not about my sexual skills and it is statements like these that will make every straight & bisexual woman cringe and unmatch.
    4. โ€œAre You Sure You Are Not A Lesbian?โ€If I had a rupee for every time someone asked me this question, I would 100% be a millionaire. What people fail to understand is that bisexuality is not a pit stop towards becoming a lesbian.ย 
    There are many people who are curious about being with the same *** and while that is absolutely okay, it is important to remember that Bisexuality & Bi-curiosity are two different things.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1801__
    5. โ€œBisexuality Is Not A Real Thingโ€This is the statement that makes every other line seem insignificant. Whether you are gay, lesbian, trans, asexual or a part of the LGBTQIA+ community in any other way, you have heard this statement in some form or other.ย 
    ยฉ Instagram/ Happiest Season
    I can choose to love both men & women, I can choose to build a relationship in the way I see fit. Bisexuality is real because it is what I feel!

    To Wrap It UpIt is 2021 and the time to fix our mindset towards the members of the LGBTQIA+ community is long past gone. This Pride Month, we need to start listening to our queer friends and family members, we need to fight for their right to love and most importantly we need to educate ourselves so that every one of us can be a true ally to this community.

    โ€˜Checkmate COVIDโ€™ was a charity event that was supposed to be about raising awareness and funds for those struggling under the ongoing pandemic in India. Instead, it turned out to be a display of how far some of our biggest celebrities would go to win the smallest of accomplishments.
    On Monday night, Indian Chess Grandmaster and coach Srinath Narayanan shared a couple of screenshots of two massive names of the Indian film industry - actor, director, and produce Kichcha Sudeep as well as producer Sajid Nadiadwala, both of whom had their accounts banned by chess.com for using unfair means to win matches.ย 
    Everyone suspected this. I didn't want to be the judge, jury, executioner. Now the truth of this whole thing is out and clear. pic.twitter.com/SqSbqpqRcf
    โ€” Srinath Narayanan (@nsrinath69) June 14, 2021
    On Monday morning, news broke that Indiaโ€™s youngest billionaire, Nikhil Kamath had cheated to win a match against the biggest name there has ever been in the history of Indian chess - Viswanathan Anand and that the event organisers had banned Kamathโ€™s profile for similar reasons as well.
    Later in the day, Anand put out a very subtle tweet that was full of context while expressing he had no awareness of his opponents using computers and other peopleโ€™s intelligence to try to beat him.ย ย 
    He added that he had expected everyone to keep the ethics of the game in mind while playing.
    Yesterday was a celebrity simul for people to raise money It was a fun experience upholding the ethics of the game.I just played the position onthe board and expected the same from everyone . pic.twitter.com/ISJcguA8jQ

    โ€œYesterday was a celebrity simul for people to raise money It was a fun experience upholding the ethics of the game.I just played the position on the board and expected the same from everyone,โ€ he wrote on Twitter.ย 
    During the day, Kamath not only acknowledged the fact that his 99% accuracy match against Anand was a result of additional help from computers and other people, but he also apologised to the Indian legend on a couple of occasions.
    @vishy64theking in my head, it was just a fun game we amateurs were playing against the greatest chess champ from India to raise funds for charity. But still gives no excuse for what I did. It was wrong and I sincerely apologize.

    Unfortunately, with a trend forming with all the major celebrities trying illegal ways to show their dominance on the chessboard, fans have started questioning whether someone like actor Aamir Khan or cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal - an avid chess player in his childhood, would have also used these hacks or were they clean?
    guess only Arijit and Aamir played honestly
    โ€” Priyanka โœช (@eruditepriya) June 14, 2021There were others. Manu Jain, Yuzi and Ritesh. Yuzi is a hardworking sportsperson, he would not stoop to such a low or disrespect a legend. He loves Cricket and Chess. If anything, he might have seen the other games and knew then and there what was happening and felt disgusted.

    Some Microsoft employees chose to sleep in the software companyโ€™s data centres during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
    While most of Microsoftโ€™s employees worked from home after the breakout, some employees were so important that they had to work on-site.ย 
    Microsoft has several data centres that contain servers for online services like Microsoft Teams, Skype, Xbox Live and other cloud-related infrastructure for third party customers. Essentially, Microsoft workers slept at data centres so that we could enjoy these services while stuck at home.ย 
    ยฉ Microsoft
    Speaking to CNBC, Kristen Roby Dimlow, corporate vice president for total rewards, performance and human resources business insights, said โ€œI heard amazing stories about people actually sleeping in data centres,โ€

    โ€œIn certain countries, there was huge lockdown, and so we would have our own employees choose to sleep in the data centre because they were worried theyโ€™d get stuck at a roadblock, trying to go home.โ€
    Data centres arenโ€™t the ideal place for someone to sleep as hot air dissipated from servers and cold air comes from cooling units to prevent the servers from overheating. It's not known where exactly Microsoft employees slept and how many.
    ยฉ Reuters
    Having said that, employees were allowed to work from home if they needed and felt anxious coming to data centres. Employees were also provided transportation to and from these data centres and were allowed to stay in hotels.ย 

    โ€œWe had to in some cases go to shift work, day and night, to get the work done within the same schedule,โ€ Walsh said.
    Microsoft is now introducing flexible working for most of its 160,000 employees around the world. The new policy will let employees spend less than half their week working remotely without manager approval. Microsoft also installed eye-level cameras in meeting rooms so that people can make eye contact with their virtual teammates.ย 
    Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella has already said that he believed most employees would still want a desk in physical offices, rather than working from home permanently. However, the company said that employees who returned to the office in spring 2021 are spending much less time than they did before the pandemic.

    Gadar: Ek Prem Katha is for sure one of the biggest films in India since the turn of the century.ย ย 
    The Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel starrer, set in the partition era, was a massive hit when it released and remains a film that people continue to revisit to this day.
    From songs like Main Nikla Gaddi Leke to iconic scenes like Sunny Deol uprooting a hand pump and mouthing slogans of Hindustan Zindabad in Pakistan, this movie has its own separate fan base.

    The movie has completed 20 years of its release and many people back then wanted to know director Anil Sharmaโ€™s vision behind the iconic hand pump scenes as many intellectuals questioned it and called it a very impractical approach.
    Sharing his vision behind the scene, he told Hindustan Times, โ€œWhen I was writing the scene, I felt like throwing the entire building on Amrish Puri (his character, Ashraf Ali). But that was not practical. So, I decided to put the handpump in the scene. It was not just about uprooting the handpump, it was an outburst of emotions. It was symbolic."
    He added, "When people asked me how can it be possible, I told them, 'When Lakshman needed sanjeevani (herb) in Ramayan, Hanuman picked up the entire mountain.' Tara Singh may not be Hanuman but he can uproot a hand pump. We believe (in Hanuman's deeds) as we are emotionally involved. It (the scene) was creative liberty we took, and every person sitting in the theatre watching Gadar: Ek Prem Katha related with the emotions and clapped for the sequence. Many intellectuals do not understand this as they believe in working on logic alone."
    Hereโ€™s the video of the scene:
    ย 
    The director also gave it back to those who found it too far-fetched and said that they arenโ€™t emotional enough to understand the outburst of Sunnyโ€™s character Taraโ€™s anger.
    โ€œNot many people agreed with the scene when it was written. Most intellectuals felt it was too far-fetched. I do not say intellectual people are not emotional, they are. But they believe in logic, they believe two and two make four. But for emotions, two and two can make five, or, even ten. There are no definitions for emotions and that scene was about the emotional outburst,โ€ he said.
    ยฉ Zee Studios
    He further elaborated, โ€œPeople lay down their lives for their country, a mother may do so for her child, or lovers sacrifice their lives for their loved ones. These do not fall under any definition of logic (but they do happen). Love can be defined beyond logic. Logic is a very materialistic thing, that involves mathematics and science. But few things are beyond science.โ€

    ยฉ Zee Studios
    The movie is etched in the hearts of the Indian audience. Gadar broke the record previously set by Sholay for most tickets sold for a Hindi film.ย 

    In another interview with Indian Express, he talked about the success that the movie got and compared it with the Titanic. He said, โ€œWhen I was making Gadar, I understood that itโ€™ll become Indiaโ€™s Titanic and it did become one. When the record of tickets was revealed, we got to know its sale was even more than Titanic. Such was its footfall. To this day, it is said that Gadar had the maximum sale of tickets and footfall seen by any movie in India. Weโ€™ve had bigger filmmakers in our industry, but this is Godโ€™s blessing that my film created such a record. You see the magic is still the same when it airs on television even today.โ€

    With the World Test Championshipย finals less than four days away, the International Cricket Council (ICC) revealed the division of prize money which will be split into all the squads that participated based on what was their final position at the end of the tournament.
    Prize money distribution by ICC for World Test Championship participants:

    Winners - 11.71cr.

    Runner ups - 5.85cr.

    Australia - 3.3cr.
    England - 2.5cr.
    Pakistan - 1.5cr.
    Rest of the teams - 73 Lakhs. https://t.co/S9TmCX3tmW
    โ€” Rohit1๏ธโƒฃ8๏ธโƒฃ (@rohit_rathod18) June 14, 2021
    Essentially, the winner of the one-off final between India and New Zealand will bag $1.6 million or roughly Rs. 11.71 crore while the team at the losing end will receive $8,00,000 (approximately Rs. 5.85 crore. In the case of a draw, both sides will end up splitting the money equally as they will also share the title.
    And while we are yet to see who wins the big money and who becomes the runners-up, prize money for the rest of the squads has already been allotted based on where they stood in the WTC points table.

    Therefore, Australia (3rd) will receive Rs. 3.3 crore, England (4th) will receive Rs. 2.5 crore, Pakistan (5th) will receive Rs. 1.5 crore and the rest of the teams that participated will get Rs. 73 lakh each.
    Fans of international cricket were thoroughly surprised after learning how big of a prize-money the ICC has kept for the top two sides and also the fact that every single squad playing in the tournament will receive some sort of hefty token regardless of how nicely or poorly they did.
    Having said that, trolls and critics of the Pakistan squad did not let this opportunity pass by and started โ€œcongratulatingโ€ them for whatever amount they will be getting.
