    We all know the story of the largest cut diamond ‘Kohinoor’ which is owned by India but now sits at the centre of the Queen’s crown in the United Kingdom. 

    However, if you thought it was the only treasure that our former coloniser had stolen from us, you are mistaken. 
    There are a number of treasured possessions, idols and artefacts that belong to India but are possessed by the biggest museums of Britain.

    These priceless items were moved, stolen and looted from India and taken to the UK years ago but sadly still remain in the possession of the British museums and royals. 

    Recently, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) New York said it will return the Benin bronzes looted from Nigeria by British Army in 1897 in order to repatriate the looted possessions held by the museum.

    We wonder if British museums have any plans to do such repatriation for South Asian items as well.  

    Here are some really valuable and incredibly priceless artefacts from India that are wrongly in the possession of British museums, that we would like back.  
    Lord Harihara idolA beautifully carved sandstone statue of the lord Harihara looted from the temple in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh is displayed at the British Museum, London.

    The Sultanganj BuddhaA 2.3 metres high and 500kg copper sculpture of Buddha was discovered in Sultanganj Bihar in 1862 and was estimated to be built 1500 years ago prior to that courtesy its Gupta styling of sculpturing. It is currently kept in the Birmingham museum.

    Tipu Sultan’s personal possessionsThe legendary ruler Tipu Sultan’s sword, ring, perfume and a wooden tiger are all in the possession of different museums in Britain. He fought the British till his last breath and his personal possessions were looted upon his death.

    Wine cups of Shah JahanThe paisley shaped wine cup made of white nephrite jade belonged to the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan which was later acquired by Victorian and Albert Museum in London in 1962. The cup was made in 1657 CE and had his title “Second Lord of the Conjunction” inscribed on it.

    Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s throneThe magnificent throne of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, first Maharaja of the Sikh Empire, had gold sheets and was built specifically for state meetings. It was moved during Anglo Sikh war and has been kept in the Victorian and Albert Museum since then.

    While these should shine in our homeland for the tourists from around the world to witness the rich history and culture of India, they are instead kept on display in the splendid museums of London for the British to show off. 
    What will take Great Britain to finally return what is rightfully ours?

    It is midday, a koel is humming near the window, my chai is brewing and I see my niece, all of 9 years, cycling in the verandah. 

    “ No online classes today? “, I ask. 
    “ Summer vacations have begun!”, she shouts back, before running inside to the call of her mother. 
    A whiff of nostalgia hits my brain when I realise that for almost half of my life before college and a corporate job, the months of May- June were not known by their calendar names, but simply called ‘garmi ki chhutiyan’. 
    The walk from the kitchen to my room is weighed down with the pressure of forgetting everything, and taking a jog down memory lane. So, as I skip work calls, ignore the chores surrounding me and stop being a responsible adult for a few minutes, if you made it so far, then allow yourself to embark on this journey with me.
    It feels like yesterday. The first week of May, the last day at school before we all pack our bags, promise friends to make plans and meet, exchange notes on where we were going for a vacation and slipping the holiday homework booklet into oblivion. 
    The uniforms were packed for the next two months and our mothers excitedly told us that we’d soon leave for ‘nani house’, aka the den of fun, where all whims and fancies came to life. Dads discussed plans for vacation and the most awaited train journeys would happen. 
    For me, our quaint family home in Mussoorie symbolised summer vacations. We spent a lot of time there, walking from the Mall Road to the Library Chowk.  The ‘pahado wali maggi’, sitting under the mucky Kempty Falls, the quintessential ‘hill station’ vacation was always incomplete with the roadside corn on the cob slathered with tamarind and lemon. 
    Long before delivery apps and express meal counters took over our lives, all car and train journeys relied on the ‘puri aloo’ that mom packed, all the snacks and homemade Rasna we filled in our sippers. 
    Life was simple, the vacation plans were predictable, but take out any photograph from that time and you’ll realise that we were happier. The innocence, the nonchalant blasé attitude on our faces required no Instagram filters. 
    Our parents happily clicked our pictures for memory banks, and not for social media.

    Summer vacations also meant joining a swimming class, or a dance class and honing skills which we’d later show off when schools opened and notes were exchanged with friends. 

    Besides having a lot of fun at my maternal grandmother’s house, I always had the benign pleasure of taking a Shatabdi Express to Amritsar, my nani’s maternal home. 
    If I had to describe my experience of these travels laden with the memories of ‘train ka khana’ and the breadstick covered in butter with the watery tomato soup they served, I’d say I was Harry Potter on the Hogwarts Express who just discovered chocolate frogs. 
    Back in the late ’90s and early 2000s, family time in small towns meant everyone gathered their mattresses and slept on the terrace under the blanket of a beautiful starry sky. Stories were exchanged, food was made in kilos to feed an army of hungry kids who’d run all day and be ready to devour whatever was made. 
    Oh, and yes, we had no privilege of demanding the bowl of dal (with dollops of ghee swimming on top) be replaced with a pizza or the full mug of fresh cow milk be swapped with a Frappuccino. 
    But you know what? Isn’t that what the beauty of this simplicity was? This lack of choice inside this wild innocent mind, which was living an entire lifetime of fun in those two months.

    As June came towards an end, bags were taken out, homework was finished as we all began sulking in the hangover of these holidays that went by in a blink of an eye. No one told me that the burden of finishing my holiday homework was way less than the burden of paying hospital bills in a pandemic. 

    No one reminded you that time was fleeting and that you should make the most of it. We were young, dumb, and silly, but with eyes that gleamed with joy, hearts full with love, the running around like wild bears, stealing mangoes from dadi’s kitchen, troubling older cousins. 
    I believe our parents became lenient, as we weren’t scolded for not studying, and eating more chocolates without brushing at night was allowed, because somewhere, even they relieved their own childhood with us. Secretly, they knew one day this reality of our ‘bachpan’ would soon become a photo memory, but thankfully, they decided not to ruin those moments for us.

    While I drown in this sea of nostalgia and try to just cool down my heart which is so envious of my niece leaving for her ‘nani ghar’, I decide to pass this cup of chai to my dad and go look for Roohafza instead, open a packet of ‘namkeen’ and call up my cousins to ask if they want to play badminton or hopscotch on the terrace today, just like old times. 

    For now, let’s clock in the working hours my friend, and just like me, if you too are sitting at your work desk and sighing as you finish reading this, then hold that thought and convert it into action. 
    Pick up anything from your memory and just do it, for that child inside you. 
    Holiday homework has been replaced with presentations but who cares? you can steal some time from the day for yourself right? 
    Even though I am going to the supermarket now to buy some candies, chocolates and find a bag of Fun Flips, honestly, in my heart, I wish I was on a train journey with my mom’s paranthas packed with achaar instead.

    Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely demise left his near and dear ones devastated and his loss is strongly felt to this day. 

    There are many speculations around his death and we need to be sensitive towards the emotions of those who were deeply connected to the late actor. 
    However, there are also some who have been trying to encash on his death. Some wrote books and some started to churn out scripts. 
    View this post on InstagramOne more such movie that came into the limelight is Nyay: The Justice.
    Sushant’s father dragged the makers of the film to court and his plea stated that the movie is based on his son’s life. Sushant’s father has contended that the filmmakers are taking advantage of the situation for commercial gains and therefore, the right to freedom of speech and expression would not apply to them. 
    “Plaintiff (Singh) has apprehension that various plays, movies, web-series, books, interviews or other material may be published which would harm the reputation of the son of the plaintiff and his family,” claimed the suit, seeking damages of over Rs 2 crore from the filmmakers for “loss of reputation, mental trauma, and harassment” to Rajput’s family.
    In the latest development, the Delhi High Court on Thursday refused to stay the release of the movie. Justice Sanjeev Narula dismissed an application by Rajput’s father Krishna Kishore Singh, seeking to restrain anyone from using his son’s name or likeness in movies.
    The teaser of the film does have striking similarities to Sushant’s death and all the reports that were aired on TV. 
    The teaser opens with the news of a popular actor 'Mahinder Singh' committing suicide at his residence. It shows the characters playing the apparent roles of Mahesh Bhatt and Rhea Chakraborty. 
    The director has also shown scenes wherein the actor is struggling with depression.
    “I was shocked to learn about his (Sushant Singh Rajput) death. Though I do not know him personally, we all felt for him. Through this film we want to send out a message that taking your own life is not the right thing to do, there is always another option. This film is a tribute to him and we hope that this film helps to celebrate him and his work," director Dilip Gulati said.
    Here’s the teaser:


    Producer Sarla A. Saraogi added, “We are making this film not to ride on his fame or success, we hope that this film celebrates his journey and reignites the spark to seek justice for a lost son." 
    However, I am of the opinion that the teaser is outright disturbing.

    Let's admit it. The recent years have been an absolute joyful ride for fans of the superhero franchises as we have been treated to a plethora of exciting and fresh superhero characters, some of whom we'd never even heard before.

    © Marvel Studios
    That's right!

    For every popular character like Batman, Superman, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and co, there are plenty of characters we'd never know much about had it not been for the movies. Unless, of course, if you are an avid comic book reader or have followed animated shows religiously in the past.
    © Marvel Studios
    The fact remains that while you may have cried a river when Tony Stark gave his life away to save all of us from Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, you may not have felt the same emotion had a comparatively less important character been killed in the movies. (*cough* QuickSilver *cough*)

    © Marvel Studios
    However, unlike how things are always portrayed in movies, there are plenty of amazing superheroes, who while not being so popular on the big screen, have all the firepower to hold their own.

    Hence, we have made a list of the most underrated superhero characters that definitely need their own standalone films to show exactly what they are capable of:
    1. Cyclops © Marvel
    Yeah? The goggles guy standing next to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine? The jealous boyfriend of Jean Grey in the X-Men movies? Why should you bother, right?

    © 20th Century Fox
    Wrong! 

    Unlike how the character of Cyclops AKA Scott Summers is shown in the Bryan Singer X-Men movies, in the comic books and animated television series, he is anything but just a whining, jealous boyfriend.
    Cyclops is an Alpha-Level mutant who shoots powerful optic blasts out of his eyes, which is exactly the reason why he sports his trademark visor to control it. It is said that his optic blasts are even more powerful than an actual nuclear bomb.
    © Warner Bros Television
    Not just that, Cyclops, who has spent much of his career being the leader of X-Men or the X-Factor, boasts of extensive training in martial arts and has even been called the best strategist and tactician by your beloved Captain America, Steve Rogers.

    © Marvel Studios
    Pretty sure we haven't seen any of this in the movies, where the character of Scott Summers is just considered as an extra cast member to fill up the Xavier Mansion. 

    Now, we know why he needs more screen time in a movie of his own.
    2. Robin © HBO Max
    We know you know him. We know you like him. But the real question is, have you ever really seen him?

    The answer is No, and Yes.
    I mean, if you count seeing Chris O'Donnell's portrayal as Batman's number one deputy in Batman Forever and Batman and Robin (Batnipples), well then, yes, you might have seen him.
    © Warner Bros
    However, of what we know of DC's Robin, he is worth much more than just a tiny blip on the Bat-radar.

    If Batman, who doesn't even like working together with the Justice League, lets Robin be his number one partner in crime, you have to really believe that the kid must have something in him.  
    © DC
    While Robin is similar to Batman in not possessing any superhuman powers, it is his physical conditioning that makes him perfect for jumping buildings, overpowering criminals twice the size of him, and matching up to the task of meeting Batman's expectations.

    Apart from enhanced speed, reflexes, stamina that make him physically superior to an actual Olympic athlete, Robin is a master detective, possesses a genius intellect, while also being a master combatant, tactician, and weapons specialist.
    Moreover, other than being a part of the Bat-Family, he is also the leader of the Teen Titans.
    © DC
    Now, while in the Batman universe, there have been four Robins: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Batman's own son Damian Wayne, at least we can hope for one of them to get his own superhero movie to show that it's not just about Batman.

    3. Silver Surfer © 20th Century Fox
    If you have seen 2007's Fantastic Four 2 film, you might have come across a silvery character who marauds around between different worlds on a flying board, against the wishes of Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing.

    Well, while the movie was quickly forgotten amongst a pile of other films locked up in the 2000s vault, we cannot fathom the fact that Marvel never truly took advantage of bringing the Silver Surfer to the fold.
    Yes, the Silver Surfer has long been one of the most important characters in the Marvel universe, be it the comics or the animated shows.
    © Marvel
    He is considered to be one of the most powerful beings in the universe with his powers seen to not just match, but exceed those of Thanos.

    The Surfer, apart from having the ability to manipulate the four fundamental forces of the universe, possesses physical strength to that of an angry Hulk, while also being able to fly intergalactically at superluminal speeds.
    Now, imagine seeing all of that in an MCU movie. Wouldn't that be absolute nuts? This is the reason why Marvel's Kevin Feige should contact Silver Surfer right now and get him on board.
    4. Gambit © Marvel
    Gambit is one of the most iconic and charismatic characters in the X-Men world under the Marvel universe.

    Distinct for his Cajun accent and for sporting a long bo staff and a deck of cards in hands, Gambit is one of the most mysterious and incredibly likeable characters, who we've unfortunately not seen much of.
    I mean, there have been what, 13 X-Men movies (give or take), and we've just seen him in one (I know, difficult to remember, right?), the Wolverine: Origins movie, where he literally just gets his ass kicked by Hugh Jackman's Wolverine only to pick and drop him.
    © 20th Century Fox
    I mean come on! Gambit is an almost Omega-Level mutant who has the ability to mentally create, control and manipulate pure kinetic energy as per his will. Apart from that, he also has gifted intellect, is a master marksman, a profound fighter, and super skilled in card throwing.

    © Marvel
    Truly he deserves more than just a cameo as an awful sidekick in a movie that ruined Ryan Reynolds. Now, if Deadpool can make a comeback, why not Gambit?

    …are only some of the ingredients but that’s not all of them.

    Some days you’ll be a hit and on the others, you’ll miss. That’s okay.
    On day one you’d be too scared to touch your baby’s ultra-soft skin and one day, you wouldn’t let go of your little human. 
    From baby talks to shushing noises, fatherhood changes a man. Like baldness. But better. Much better. 
    It’s not tough. It’s not easy. It’s about doing everything that’s right for your family with patience. And when you feel like you’re losing it, these tips will come in handy for new fathers. 
    1. Stock Up Aloe Vera & Coconut OilIt doesn’t matter if your baby has a rash or not. Use pure aloe vera gel or cold-pressed coconut oil every time you change your baby’s nappy and your child won’t get one. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__879__
    2. Keep Your Baby At An AngleWhether you’re changing them, whether they’re sleeping, being held at an angle is good for their digestion. 
    Imagine if you ate all your meals until you’re full and immediately lied on your back. We bet you’ll feel a little uneasy too. The angling of the baby helps them digest resulting in less fussiness, less gas and less vomit. 
    Pro tip: Wear outfits made of organic and comfy fabrics. PJs and T-shirts are the best attire. It’ll be good for you and even better for your baby.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1410__
    3. It Takes A Town To Feed The BabyIt’s true, no one can take care of a baby’s nutritional needs as well as a mother—be it through breast milk or formula. But a father can always help his partner with feeding. 
    While breastfeeding, dads can provide comfort by assisting with research, troubleshooting and lactation snacks. Pay extra attention to your partner in the beginning days. 
    When it’s time for the bottle game, fathers that take night shifts for feeding are real heroes. 
    Just make sure while approaching your baby you keep the lights dim and the interaction minimal. Before putting the baby down again, make them burp.
    And do it all very quietly.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1766__
    4. Schedule, Divide & Conquer Are you a 'going with the flow' kind of a guy? Yeah, those days are over man. Babies are on schedule. So you too need to have a schedule for everything and stick to the timetable. 
    Assign tasks because you can’t do it all alone, neither can your partner. It’ll make things a lot easier.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1767__
    5. Sleep Is Everything       A baby requires 16 to 20 hours of sleep per 24 hours for the first five months. But they don’t know the difference between night and day, as the cycle inside the womb was very different. 
    Parents need to teach them about the days that are bright and active and the nights that are dark and quiet. 
    Parents should also know that babies sleep on a fast-paced 20-minute cycle. They’re active sleepers. So when they make a noise every half-hour, you need to fight the urge to pick them up. 
    When they have trouble sleeping, swaying, jiggling or a quick car ride can calm them but long shushing noises will put them back to sleep as it is essentially white noise.
    Baby’s crib should be warm and comfy, free of blankets, bumpers or toys.  
    6. Spend One On One Time With The Baby …Bath time, a walk on the terrace or just playing with the toys together, some alone time with your baby is very important to establish a bond. These memories will become great stories in future. Like your mom has a lot of stories about you doing weird stuff.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1768__
    7. Embrace ***The general rule is that you can start again after six weeks of delivery. But for some people, it takes longer to fully recover. Keep an open mind, stay in the mood and of course, stay awake. 
    If your partner doesn’t feel ready, give her more time. Take it slow. Be gentle. Choose romance over pleasure. And use lube. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1769__
    Are You The Best Daddy Yet?You can’t be a perfect parent but you can be a cool daddy, just take care of few more things.
    Buy clothes with zippers instead of buttons. Always remember that you’re parenting your kid, not babysitting. Don’t ask, just do the work that is at hand.Click as many pictures as you can with and of your baby.And remember to take care of yourself.Explore More

    Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya was recently questioned by a troll on social media about the absence of a dupatta with her suit for Crime Patrol. 
    The Twitter user had written, "Crime Patrol episode me aap dupatta kyu nahi pahanati hai (Why don't you wear a dupatta in the episodes of Crime Patrol) (sic)."
    © Instagram_Divyanka Tripathi
    Divyanka replied to the user and wrote, "Taaki aap jaise bin dupatte ki ladkiyon ko bhi izzat se dekhne ki aadat dalein! Kripya khud ki aur apne aas paas ke ladkon ki neeyat sudharen, na ki aurat jaat ke pehnaave ka beda uthaayen! Mera shareer, meri aabru, meri marzi! Aap ki sharaafat, aap ki marzi! (sic) (So that people like you learn to respect women even without a dupatta. I request you not to take upon the responsibility of what women should wear, and rather change the way you and others look at women. My body, my honour, my wish! Your decency, your wish)."

    © Divyanka Tripathi Twitter
    Divyanka, in a recent interview, recalled the incident and opened up on the reason why that remark ‘triggered’ her.

    Speaking to Hindustan Times, Divyanka Tripathi said, "As celebrities, we’re bound to catch the eye of many and are constantly under the radar. I, however, have always been against trolls who specifically target women. I teach them how to be. It’s not that I’m a hardcore feminist... I believe in equal treatment for men and women."
    “When the troll questioned me about the absence of my Dupatta, it triggered me because what I was preaching in the show was an absolute opposite of it,” she added.
    She also added that women are often brutally attacked on social media when it comes to their clothes.
    View this post on Instagram
    She said, “Social norms differ according to regions and surroundings. Besides, a lot also depends on one’s learning through growing up years. So, no one can truly say what dress or behaviour is right or wrong. The world is grey that way.”
    She went on to add, “It really annoys me that during discussions on such topics, women are the first target for correction. I feel, if a person finds a dress inappropriate, they must work on getting some world exposure.”
    I completely support her statements. What about you? Let us know in the comments section below.

    © Electronic Arts
    The reveal trailer doesn’t really show any gameplay footage but it did show off things we will be able to do in the game. 

    In fact, the trailer also showed off a meme where a pilot gets out of an aircraft, shoots an RPG to destroy another jet and get backs into his own jet soon after. A very popular meme from the Battlefield franchise where players could actually do these stunts in Battlefield 3 and 4. 
    The game showcased a near-future setting that also shows futuristic weapons, tanks, jets, vehicles and gadgets. There’s also a robot dog that looks akin to the Boston Dynamics Spot robot.

    On PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, Battlefield 2042 supports 128-player matches while on the PS4 and the Xbox One the game will only support 68-player matches. Maps on last-generation consoles will also be smaller as compared to the next-gen variant. 

    In addition, the game will also feature destruction and evolution on a larger scales where players will be able to destroy buildings, make ground deformations. Much like Battlefield 4, 2042 will also have weather states that will change with time and may also affect the maps, except tornados and storms. 
    © Electronic Arts

    An Indian woman, who is a fitness enthusiast, has taken fitness to whole a new level, proving that you don't need to be a man to lift heavy weights and that it's all about how strong you are. 
    Amid the pandemic, since most of us are working out at home, we all bank on home equipment to stay fit and Shaili Chikara follows that as well.

    Shaili is a certified Fitness consultant, whose recent video of doing squats with a cylinder has gone viral. 
    What makes it even more challenging is, she wore a saree to perform this task. We all know how difficult it is to manage the six-yard trend, let alone wearing it every day for daily chores. 
    She posted this video on her Instagram profile and captioned it as "Meri Video Kaha Kaha pahunchi."
    View this post on Instagram
    Ever since the video was shared, it went viral within no time and it now has more than 6,800 likes. 
    Users were stunned at how flawlessly she performed the exercise. One user called her a powerful woman, while others compared her to Baahubali as well.
    © Instagram/Shaili Chikara
    Shaili, who also works at an IT company, has made one thing clear with several other videos and it's that you don't need gym or hardcore equipment to work out. All you need are some household items. 

    She is also seen lifting a kid in one of her videos.

    Do you remember your first love?
    First love is often difficult to forget. The sweet-nothings and everyday milestones of that period will always remain a cherished memory.
    But that’s not the case for everyone. For some, first love is all about the emotional heartbreak, getting over the pain and being afraid to love again.
    Our hero Kunal from MX Original Series ‘Indori Ishq’ is one such troubled Gen Z lover-boy. He started out optimistic, the ‘we-will-live-happily-ever-after-kind’, but somewhere in the middle, this unsuspecting old-school romantic got the shock of his life – a breakup he didn’t see coming.
    MX Player
    Everything about Kunal (played by Ritvik Sahore) is old-school. He listens to Kishore Kumar over Badboy Badshah, he believes in falling in love for forever, not the till-I-don’t-find-anyone-better kind of love. Back home in Indore, just out of high school, Kunal finally got in a relationship with his crush, Tara (played by Vedika Bhandari), and believed she was it for him. Unfortunately, his true love couldn’t survive the troubled waters of long-distance.
    What happened next is the story of the drastic downfall of a vibrant young boy. He was cheated on by his girlfriend, his first love remained unrequited and he felt broken beyond repair. Actor Ritvik Sahore, who played Kunal’s character brought his versatile skills to the center with contrasting emotions.
    MX Player
    Director Samit Kakkad did a marvelous job of showing the emotional toll a failed relationship can take on a man. Men are equally fragile. All they want is to be loved. So why does society expect them to simply pick up the pieces of their broken heart and move on? The disparity in the rules of love is starkly brought alive in this web series and we for one believe that gender stereotypes surrounding infidelity, commitment, and trust issues in relationships must be addressed, equally! 
    As Kunal struggles to deal with the all-consuming grief, he finds comfort in an unconventional friendship with his broker, Reshma (played by TithiRaaj). She might be a broker by day, but what keeps her afloat is her work as a dancer at the local bar. As they exchange stories of love and grief, they find solace in each other’s company. But would Kunal take this new-found friendship as a hint to move on from his failed first relationship?


    A lot is happening on ‘Indori Ishq’ and if you’re curious, don’t forget to catch all the 9 episodes of his emotional rollercoaster only on MX Player.

    In a statement that would make any sane person doubt if we’re living in the 21st century, the president of the Uttar Pradesh Women’s Commission made a statement, saying that girls who talk with boys using their cell phones, later run away with them.
    © ANI
    As if that statement wasn’t incendiary enough, Meen Kumari, the president went on to say that the mother of the girl is responsible for this, because of her “negligence.” FYI, she was elected as a member of the district panchayat, twice, before she took up this position.

    BIZARRE comment by Meena Kumari, a member of the UP Women Commission.

    “Girls should not be given mobile phones. They talk to boys and later elope with them.”@NCWIndia @sharmarekha ji, do you approve of this statement? pic.twitter.com/HrSICrGL0l

    Uttar Pradesh isn’t exactly known for its stellar reputation for women and their safety. One can’t help but wonder why exactly. But if this is the sentiment that the state’s Women’s Commission and its members have, one doesn’t need to think too much, as to why women feel particularly unsafe in the state.

    While speaking to the press while presiding over a meet-up where the commission was listening to complaints from several women in Aligarh, the president made an appeal to the parents, that they shouldn’t allow the girls in their family to have mobile phones.

    And if they do allow them for some reason, then the parents should constantly keep an eye on the girls, and periodically check their phones.

    Later, when she was trying to clarify her remarks, she claimed that girls from villages don’t know “how to use phones in the right way.” She also commented on how smartphones are used to consume inappropriate content.

    Do keep in mind, that all this was in response to a question about a sharp rise in alleged rape, molestation and harassment cases in the area. 

    This obviously did not go down well with the people present at the meet-up, as well as on Twitter.

    — Shivay (@shiv24ani) June 10, 2021I guess govt should reduce retirement age to max 40yrs ...either we should get used to such silly statements
    — Sanitiser (@Tirthsi38148566) June 10, 2021Is this lady in her sane state of mind?? Ya man just blame mother, phones etc. My god it's just absurd.
    Lady WCM resign from your post, people like you are reason for women oppression.
    So when mobile was absent, girls did not elope? Girls did not elope who had no mom?
    Absurd...

    People who have seen the first episode of Marvel’s latest mini-series, Loki, or who are aware of the Time Variants Authority, or TVA, will know what happens to people who break their respective timelines.

    For those who haven’t seen the show, people who change the course of time because of their actions, are called Variants. Remember, Loki stealing the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame? Well, he changed the course of time, and thus became a variant.

    Now, an eagle-eyed viewer took to Twitter, and shared a very interesting observation. When Loki was trying to escape the TVA, and was seen playing with the time-teleportation device, a few characters appear on the screen, and walk right off.

    PEGGY ? PEGGY CARTER ? pic.twitter.com/1gvugWOBQd

    A majority of the people who have seen the show, and who have followed the messed up timelines in Marvel very closely, believe it to be Peggy Carter.

    If you’re planning to scrub through the timeline to look for that particular scene, we will save you the trouble. You should be looking around the 34:00 minute mark.

    Now, there are a couple of theories, why it may indeed be Peggy Carter. Peggy was never supposed to end up with Steve Rogers. Going by what happened at the end of Endgame, Rogers & Carter, both become variants.

    If this is indeed true, then Rogers’ timeline may be up for a reset, which means, that there is a possibility, albeit a very slight one that Steve Rogers returns as Captain America.

    Not everyone agrees with this theory, but hey, this is a pretty plausible one as far as fan theories go. 
    The response to the user’s tweet, were equally interesting.
    THIS WAS THE ENDGAME PEGGY WAS MEANT TO HAVE. NOT WITH STEVE. pic.twitter.com/MNFgfpjkNM
    — beth (@vaneIIoki) June 9, 2021It is her,by the way she walks and bye her hairstyle she is always walking with but it's weird that it takes place in 2012 and Peggy was born before WW2 so she like 70-100 so yes but most likely no
    — Jojo's bizarre adventure (@tonkarex) June 9, 2021 Funny, but what if it were true?

    — Jojo's bizarre adventure (@tonkarex) June 9, 2021If this is https://t.co/tne3OsVycR means Peggy could show up in another mcu movie.
    — Jason Logan (@JasonLo9718098) June 9, 2021 A different reality, but interesting nonetheless.
    peggy teaming up with loki yes pls pic.twitter.com/K8t911T7pQ
    — eggie FREE PEGGY!! (@whatifpeggy) June 9, 2021Say what you will, but Loki is already shaping up to be a heck of a mini-series. No wonder that Marvel fans are going crazy over how the makers are completely decimating what we think we know.
