    Tired of Covid-19? Want to get the hell out of your house and start leading a normal, maskless life again?

    Well, you will have to wait a while buddy, because Coronavirus is apparently here to stay.

    We'll tell you exactly why!
    In what was indeed another bizarre chapter of the "List Of Crazy Ways To Get Covid-19 In India", hundreds of people rushed to what is the newly constructed 'Corona Mata Mandir' in Uttar Pradesh.
    The temple, which has been set up under a neem tree in Shuklapur village of the Pratapgarh district of the state, was established so that people could offer their prayers to protect themselves from the deadly virus.

    "After the deadly coronavirus wreaked havoc and snatched thousands of lives, we decided to set up 'Corona Mata' temple under a neem tree with a belief that praying to the deity would offer relief to the people from the deadly virus," a villager said.

    According to reports, villagers had gathered many donations in order to set up the temple which has a mask-wearing white idol placed inside it called "Corona Mata".
    Now, while people have been asked to follow COVID guidelines of wearing masks and maintaining social distancing, it was reported that large groups of people have been rushing to the temple to offer their prayers.
    Soon after the news broke out, people on Twitter obviously could not hide their frustrations.

    Bangladesh cricketer Shakib Al Hasan faced huge social media backlash after misbehaving with the on-field umpire, and kicking and uprooting the stumps during a local T20 cricket match on Friday.
    While Shakib has issued an apology for his actions, his wife Ummey Al Hasan has come out in defence of her husband claiming that a plot has been going on for a while to portray the all-rounder as a villain. She also said that there are many people who are supporting her husband for showing guts and standing up against all odds.
    “I’m enjoying this incident as much as the media is, finally some news on tv! It is great to see the support of the people who can see the clear picture of today’s incident at least someone has the guts to stand against all odds,” Ummey wrote on Facebook. 
    “However it is sad to see the main issue getting buried by the media highlighting only the anger that he showed. The main issue is the ongoing eye catching decisions of the umpires!" 
    “The headlines are really saddening. To me it is a plot against him that has been going on for a while to portray him as the villain in all circumstances! If you are a cricket lover beware of your actions!", she added. 
    Who’s this?
    Is it Shakib al Hasan? pic.twitter.com/kk69rdyyod
    — Iceland Cricket (@icelandcricket) June 11, 2021 Shakib lost his temper not once but twice in a span of two overs during a T20 game between Mohammedan Sporting and Abahani Limited. Unhappy with the umpiring decisions, Shakib, in complete disregard to the match officials flouted several codes of conducts, kicking, uprooting and throwing the stumps on the ground. 
    Later, describing his actions as “human error”, Shakib rendered an apology to the authorities and cricket fans, promising not to repeat the same thing again in future. 

    "Dear fans and followers, I am extremely sorry for losing my temper and ruining the match for everyone and especially those who are watching from home. An experienced player like me should not have reacted that way but sometimes against all odds it happens unfortunately," Shakib posted on Facebook. 
    "I apologise to the teams, management, tournament officials and organizing committee for this human error. Hopefully, I won't be repeating this again in the future. Thanks and love you all  SAH," he added. 
    Shocker from #Shakib.. Surely he's a role model for many young Bangladeshi cricketers. And this behaviour is unacceptable.#Shakib @UTK_019 @Ayush70795293 @james92cricket @indianLoganwa @The_BarberPans @ClownNo69 @cricFan12987 pic.twitter.com/wXFqV8twFI

    Such never-seen-before behaviour on a cricket field was heavily criticised by fans and experts alike, with some even demanding the Bangladesh Cricket Board to ban the all-rounder.

    While millions of fans are either singing or dancing or simply just obsessing to the tunes of K-pop, one of the most popular genres of music in the world right now, there is a certain Korean dictator who's having none of it.

    © Reuters
    © Reuters
    BTS, SuperM, Black Pink, and EXO are a few of the wildly popular K-pop bands who have made their way into the hearts and souls of music lovers across the globe.

    © Reuters
    However, despite the catchy tunes of Korean popular music, North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un does not want the music to be anywhere near his homeland and has even gone on to the extent of calling it a "vicious cancer".

    © AP
    It is suggested that the 37-year-old North Korean dictator believes that K-pop music has been corrupting the country's youth.

    The end result?
    Well, Kim Jong Un and North Korean state media are actively rallying against South Korean pop culture which includes movies, K-dramas, and K-pop videos.
    © Change
    Last December, the dictator introduced new laws under which anyone caught watching or possessing South Korean content could be sentenced to up to 15 years of hard labor.

    As per reports, the previous maximum punishment for fans of popular acts such as BTS was of around five years.

    What's worse is that the people who choose to smuggle in K-pop music could even face execution in the country.

    © iStock
    Damn, that's a lot of punishment for just listening to some music. Well, I guess he really just wants everyone to turn on the K-Jong-un radio.

    Apparently, Kim's war against K-pop is all down to his belief that the South Korean culture will end up corrupting the “attire, hairstyles, speeches, behaviors” of his homeland's youth.
    © iStock
    According to Jung Gwang-il, a defector who runs a network that smuggles K-pop into North Korea, Kim is kind of insecure about things.

    “Young North Koreans think they owe nothing to Kim Jong Un,”
    “He must reassert his ideological control on the young if he doesn’t want to lose the foundation for the future of his family’s dynastic rule,” said Jung while speaking to The Times.
    Well, Kim, we don't know much about running an entire country, but clearly killing them or jailing them for listening to music doesn't really seem like the best way forward for earning the love and support of your countrymen.

    Former Indian batsman Wasim Jaffer is arguably one of the most likeable personalities out there on the internet, who keeps his fans entertained with witty replies and cheeky memes. A stalwart of Indian domestic cricket, the former opener has time and again proved there is no matching him when it comes to trolling someone or shutting down trolls with his street-smart replies -- take for instance his banter with former England captain Michael Vaughan.
    Jaffer’s supremacy as king of social media was once again established when he came up with a hilarious reply to a question posed by ace-India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Twitter. Sharing a picture with teammate Cheteshwar Pujara, Ashwin asked his followers to take a guess on what the Saurashtra batsman was telling him.
    Prizes for guessing what @cheteshwar1 is telling me here! pic.twitter.com/t9YDVzpOh1
    — Mask up and take your vaccine🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) June 10, 2021
    While Ashwin was flooded with some really interesting replies, it was Jaffer’s witty response that stole the show after which even the off-spinner couldn’t contain his laughter.“2016 WT20, 2019 WC semi sabka badla lega re tera White Walker. unbowed, unbent, unbroken #WTCFinal,” Jaffer replied.
    Using references from hit TV series Game Of Thrones and popular Bollywood movies Gangs of Wasseypur, Jaffer wrote that “white walker” Chetershwar Pujara will avenge all the major defeats India had suffered against New Zealand in various ICC tournaments, including the 2016 T20 World Cup and 50-over World Cup in 2019.
    Hahahaha!! White Walker

    — Mask up and take your vaccine🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) June 11, 2021Interestingly, it was Ashwin who had come up with the ‘White Walker’ nickname for Pujara as he bats for a long duration in the middle.
    “I think Ash (R Ashwin) and Basu Sir (Shankar Basu) came up with that. Some guys also came up with ‘winter in coming’ instead of ‘winter is coming’, they have started with ‘Pujara is coming’ which is a bit funny. But it is a good way to acknowledge what I have done (for the team),” Pujara had said in an interview to BCCI.TV.

    With less than a week left for the WTC final to begin, the Indian players are giving final shape to their preparations by playing an intra-squad game against each other in order to make up for the lack of any warm-up match in the build-up to the summit clash.

    Rishabh Pant lit up the atmosphere on Day 1 of the intra-squad game, scoring a half-century, and his fans couldn’t keep calm and hoped he would be the difference-maker against the Kiwis, like he Down Under earlier this year.

    Dibakar Banerjee’s thriller, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, released recently and the direction of the film was largely praised by the audience. The film will keep you hooked to the screen and the film also exposes double standards of society when it comes to class and gender. 

    Also, it is Banerjee’s forte to use movies as a mirror for society and shed light on the injustices that happen in the world. His films always have on-point direction and perfect casting that has the power to engage the audience.
    So, here are a few of his films that prove he is one of the best filmmakers we have in the industry-
    Khosla Ka Ghosla
    In the film, a man named Kamal Khosla’s land is taken by a thug named Khurana and the film revolves around how Khoslas manage to take their own land from the thugs. This film is a typical Bollywood comedy that we all need to watch and get our minds off anything that is making us sad.

    Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!
    This film starring Abhay Deol is going to keep you on your toes and not let you feel bored even for a minute. If you are hungry for a good laugh right now, this film is your go-to. Also, who’d want to miss Paresh Rawal’s tremendous acting? Exactly, no one! 
    Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
    Only Banerjee had it in him to bring our favorite childhood heroes back to life. This film was a great crime mystery and also proved his skills of a great storyteller and he also switched between genres without losing signature style.

    Lust Stories
    It was an amazing experience to watch Manisha Koirala on-screen in action. Also, the story was brilliantly presented. Banerjee presented a story of a woman who decided to take control of her desires and destiny. Banerjee managed to show Reena’s life in a way that you understand why she did what she did.

    Mostly, characters like Reena have always been presented as anti-hero characters but that wasn’t the case here.
    Love *** Aur Dhokha 

    This film was shot completely on a Handycam and proves that you don’t need exotic locations or item numbers to make a film work. The film interlinks three stories on love, ***, and dhoka and creates a compelling story that isn’t for the faint-hearted.

    With the final of the inaugural World Test Championship approaching, the Indian players have upped their preparations for the mega clash. With no warm-up games scheduled for the side ahead of their all-important encounter, the players took on each other in an intra-squad match.
    As soon as the BCCI made the announcement of the intra-squad match, the level of excitement among fans reached a whole new level and they began searching for ways to find out every bit of detail about how their favourite superstars fared in the game.

    The BCCI posted a video of all the important actions from Day 1 of the intra-squad match and the fans couldn’t keep calm, especially with the performance of Rishabh Pant, who lit up the atmosphere with his fierce batting. 
    Pant, who had made headlines for hitting one-handed sixes during Team India’s first practice session, was at his fluent best and struck a fine half-century. Watching Pant dancing down the track and hitting the bowler over the top left fans speechless and they expressed how eagerly they were waiting for him to take the field against New Zealand and weave the same magic as he did Down Under earlier this year.

    Virat Kohli and Co. will take on New Zealand in the WTC final, which begins on June 18 at Ageas Bowl stadium in Southampton. New Zealand players will go into the match with better match practice, having played a two-Test series against England.

    — BCCI (@BCCI) June 11, 2021 As far as Indian team is concerned, this intra-squad game is all they have before the summit clash and they would look to make the most of the opportunity. Skipper Kohli, who is looking for his first ICC title as a captain, and head coach Ravi Shastri have a big task at hand of picking a playing XI which can challenge New Zealand for the title.

    While players like Cheteshwar Pujara, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant pick themselves automatically to start arguably the biggest game of their Test careers, there are some areas of concerns, like the bowling combination, that the management has to take a call and on whoever performs in the ongoing intra-squad will only strengthen his case for the title clash.

    One of your favorite Bollywood movies could have turned out very differently had actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had a say in it.

    We all remember the much-loved trio of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukherjee as Rahul, Anjali, and Tina from the 1998 rom-com film, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (KKHH) that made us all cry when we watched it for the first time.

    © Dharma Productions
    The film, which was the directorial debut of Karan Johar, is remembered as one of the classic Bollywood Rom-coms that you watch on a Sunday while hogging on some ice cream and wishing if love stories indeed ended up like that.

    © Dharma Productions
    Well folks, while KKHH was indeed a huge success along with other KJo movies like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham..., it could have all been very different for one big reason.

    Apparently, for the role of Tina in the film, KJo had approached a host of stars, which included Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at the time.
    © Reuters
    However, Aish, who was just three movies old when she got the offer, turned it down out of the fear of being "lynched" by viewers.

    While speaking with Filmfare, the 47-year-old actress said, "I'm in a catch-22 situation, really. Though I'm a newcomer, I'm compared with all the senior actresses."
    "If I'd done the film, it would have been tittered that, 'Look, Aishwarya Rai is back to doing what she did in her modeling days—leaving her hair straight, wearing minis, and pouting glamorously into the camera.' Ultimately, the hero goes back to the more real person. I know if I'd done Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, I would have been lynched."
    Well, Aishwarya's loss was Rani's gain with filmmaker Aditya Chopra (now Rani's husband) recommending her for KJo's KKHH.
     "It took months to cast for Rani’s part after Aditya Chopra recommended me her name," revealed Karan, after an event.
    Well, the rest is history. We could have never imagined the main leads of KKHH to be any different as the movie is literally a Bollywood classic now.

    Guess everything happens for a good reason.
