    If nothing helped restrict the movement of people in the Covid-stricken India to contain the deadly virus at the moment, the Indian government may have finally found a solution.

    In what will certainly pinch people when they think about travelling outside, the state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) on Monday (June 07) increased the prices of both petrol and diesel by 27-28 paise per litre.

    This means that in the national capital New Delhi itself, the prices of petrol and diesel have now risen to Rs 95.31 and Rs 86.22 per litre. (Bhayi, ab petrol hi nahi loge, toh jaoge kaise ghoomne?)

    With prices of both fuels witnessing a hike a staggering 16 times during last month alone, there certainly seems to be no respite for citizens, who've already gone through so much emotionally and physically this year due to the traumatic Covid-19 situation in the country.

    Soon after the news broke of the price hike, angry citizens took to microblogging site Twitter to start trending the #PetrolOnLoan hashtag against the government.

    In a bizarre incident that is making headlines all across Europe and among children’s welfare workers all over the world, a nine-year-old boy was recently arrested in the United Kingdom for being the youngest drug dealer in history of the country.

    The nine-year-old primary schoolboy, whose name hasn’t been disclosed to protect him from potential predators, was arrested with a significant amount of cocaine and was arrested citing his intent to distribute.

    © iStock
    A local newspaper quoted Junior Smart, the founder of a local NGO called St Giles' SOS Project, saying that this actually has become a normal thing. He said, “When I first started doing this 15 years ago I was shocked by the 10-year-olds on our caseload. Now I don't even bat an eyelid. They are getting younger and younger.”

    © The Mirror
    Smart says that oftenchildren are used as mules and are used to carry drugs for a family member or friend. “One of the most common things these children say to me is that 'we thought these people cared about us'” he said.

    Another newspaper, The Mirror, carried a report on how such practices have exasperated in England and Wales ever since people were laid off for the Covid pandemic. Jo Shiner, Chief Constable of Sussex and National Police Chiefs' Council lead for children was quoted as saying, “If they see a way of making money they will take that risk. Since the pandemic started, we have seen even more children exploited by drug gangs.”
    © iStock
    The schoolboy cannot be charged, because as per the law of the land, 10 is the legal age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales. In an ideal world, that would mean the boy would go through extensive counselling and rehabilitation. However, given the situation in England and the unavailability of resources, the boy was released, and let go. 

    The Mirror claims that in the past 5 years, there have been more than 16,000 confirmed cases, where children as young as 10-year-old were being used by drug-peddling organisations to move their product and distribute. 
    9 year old boy could be Britain’s youngest ever crack cocaine dealer! He was made to carry the drugs by an older sibling or even a parent. More education and effective intervention for primary age children is paramount. @pritipatel https://t.co/zGR5mFyqZx#countylines ⬇️
    — Christina Gabbitas (@ChristiGabbitas) June 7, 2021
    People who work with children’s welfare believe that education and systemic interventions and rehabilitation are the only ways in which such incidents can be dealt with.

    Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is all set to start tonight at 10:30 PM where the company shows off new software updates and what developers have been working on. 
    The company is set to showcase new software for the iPhone, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS at the event. 
    Last year, the company announced new customisation features for both iOS and iPadOS and other useful features that improve the overall experience of Apple products. 
    This year, Apple is likely to announce iterative software updates for all of their platforms but many doubt it won’t be a major overhaul like last year. 
    There is potential for Apple to announce new products, experiences and services but not much is known about what the company is working on. 
    - iOS 15 © Youtube_Hacker 34
    For the iPhone, Apple is expected to announce iOS 15 that will have more privacy features for users and give more control to users. New notification controls are also expected from Apple since its the most outdated and cumbersome feature to use on the iPhone currently. 

    Other changes may include improvements to the iMessage platform with more social features in nature. Similarly, Apple is also expected to incorporate a current status feature such as sleeping, driving or working on iMessage. 
    - iPadOS © MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
    For iPadOS, it seems like Apple wants to may iPadOS more in line with macOS now that the company has announced a new iPad Pro that is powered by the M1 chip, the same SoC that can be found on the MacBook Pro. 

    Apple has been leveraging the iPad Pro more like a laptop workstation than a tablet in recent years and we would expect the Cupertino giant to introduce more integrations tonight. 
    The iPadOS is also expected to get the same customisation features as the iPhone where users will be able to place widgets on the home screen and make use of the App Library. 
    - macOS  © Apple
    Apple will be announcing a new version of macOS which will likely have a new nomenclature. We could expect Apple to announce similar features as the iPadOS and iOS since the newer models of MacBook Pro are now powered by the M1 chipset. 

    Even though Apple has dismissed the idea of merging macOS and iPad OS, there could be a possibility of app compatibility support from the two different operating systems. 
    - New MacBook Pro  © MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
    WWDC is known to focus more on software developments but Apple has been known to announce hardware products at the event. We could see Apple announce a new MacBook Pro especially since Apple is looking to introduce the second generation of its custom silicon chip.

    Since it is the Mozart of Madras we're talking about, let us not waste any time rambling on about an intro, since the man doesn't need one. There will never be another music composer who can even come close to A R Rahman, but even Rahman has some songs that are extremely underrated and never got the commercial appreciation that most of his tracks have received over the years. Why? We don't have an answer. Perhaps it's just a matter of taste, and just like everything else, perhaps they were just 'too refined' for the public to appreciate.
    via GIPHY
    Well, if you're one of the rare few who swear by these songs, congratulations my friend, you're an old soul who really 'gets' music. Let's see how many you remember.
    1. Dil Gira Dafatan - Delhi-6This song is pure magic. You need to close your eyes and just be alone, to truly appreciate it. It takes you on a journey that is full of nostalgia, but to a place you've never visited. Does it make sense? Perhaps not. But that's just how magical this track is.


    2. Ranjha Ranjha - RaavanThe contained yet explosively infectious beats, along with the melodious vocals of Rekha Bhardwaj, Javed Ali, and Anuradha Sriram, makes it a track that is really, really underrated.


    3. Chandralekha - Thiruda ThirudaThis beast can give any banger a run for its money in terms of bass, percussion, and vocals. It came out 28 years ago. Rahman has truly lived in the future.


    4. Satrangi Re - Dil SeIf you're into the seductive magic that Arabic songs can weave, this one is a must for your playlist. Also, it will remind you why Sonu Nigam is considered to be one of the most skilled and talented singers of all time.


    5. Ni Main Samajh Gayi - TaalYes, the entire album of Taal deserves multiple gold stars, but this one deserves a special mention since it got overshadowed by 'Ishq Bina', 'Ramta Jogi' and 'Taal Se Taal Mila'. Sukhwinder Singh and Richa Sharma are magicians, and the composition is like a fever dream.


    6. Main Albeli - ZubeidaaYes, Kavita Krishnamurthy and Sukhwinder Singh have killed it, but the real artists here, as a rarity, are the chorus members. Hear them harmonizing and see yourself travel to a happy place.


    7. Naina Milaike - SaathiyaSadhana Sargam and Madhushree are like a pair of ultra-powerful musical twins here. If you can tell their voices apart at any point during this delight of a composition, you are a true music connoisseur.


    8. Hum Hai Iss Pal Yahaan - KisnaNot a lot of people remember this Vivek Oberoi starrer film. However, this track deserves so much more. The sheer range is something that is worthy of being used in an epic. Truly magical.


    9. Dola Dola - Dil Hi Dil Mein'90s kids will remember this slightly obscure song. They just don't make melodies like this anymore. How we miss the old Bollywood!


    10. Mayya Mayya - GuruOkay, this one is a cult classic already but people unfortunately usually tend to relate this one with Mallika Sherawat's moves, which honestly is a shame as this behemoth of a song deserves so, so much more! This song should be a lesson to composers on how to surprise the listeners and keep them engaged throughout a song, through vocals, whispers, and instruments.


    11. Zariya - Coke StudioThis song starts with the faintest of whispers, reminiscent of the mountains, and keeps building up. It takes you higher and higher, till you imagine yourself completely immersed in a medieval desert party. It does bring the mountain and desert together too, in a way, by bringing together Nepalese Nun Ani Choying and Jordanian Singer Farah Siraj. A unique composition with a twist, that embodies the true spirit of world music.

    The big night was finally here for the world to see! The fight that everyone has been talking about for weeks. 

    Logan Paul, former YouTube sensation and professional Pokemon card collector, taking on retired billionaire boxer, Floyd Mayweather.

    The build-up to the fight was as iconic as ever, as Logan's younger brother, Jake Paul, came face to face with Mayweather a few weeks ago and did the unthinkable thing that left the whole world shocked.

    He legit stole his hat and then ran away from him, chanting "Gottchya Hat, Gottchya Hat!"  

    Can you really imagine the drama? Well, if you couldn't, let's fast forward it to yesterday's long-awaited exhibition fight between Logan and Floyd in Miami.
    © Reuters
    After weeks of social media digs at each other, the two masters of their own fields finally came face to face and landed punches on each other, in a fight that went on for the full eight rounds.

    However, unfortunately for Logan, the ultimate battle ended with people not remembering him for his grit and determination to survive eight rounds, but rather for his antics during the fight.

    Fans could not fail to point to how many times the YouTuber hugged Mayweather during the fight, with people taking to Twitter to show exactly how they felt.

    In a piece of news that will certainly excite fans across India as well as neighbours Pakistan, actor Fawad Khan has been rumoured to be the latest Asian actor to become a part of the elite superhero world of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
    © Instagram
    According to reports, the dashing 39-year-old actor will join the cast of Marvel's much-anticipated superhero show, Ms Marvel.

    © Marvel Studios
    The project is also reported to be the same one that will see Indian actor Farhan Akhtar's Marvel debut, so it will be very interesting to see the pair on the screen if it all ends up going as planned. 

    © BCCL
    The news of Fawad's casting was revealed by BBC Asian Network Senior journalist Haroon Rashid, who took to Twitter to share the update.

    Wow! Fawad Khan set to appear in Ms Marvel - the Disney+ series about Marvel’s first titular Muslim character. He's listed on the show's official IMDB page. Farhan Akhtar, Nimra Bucha and Samina Ahmad are reportedly part of the cast too. Marvel yet to comment. Amazing if true! pic.twitter.com/FFdvBHXRGO

    "Wow! Fawad Khan set to appear in Ms Marvel - the Disney+ series about Marvel’s first titular Muslim character. He's listed on the show's official IMDB page. Farhan Akhtar, Nimra Bucha, and Samina Ahmad are reportedly part of the cast too. Marvel yet to comment. Amazing if true!" he tweeted.
    There is indeed truth in what the journalist tweeted, as IMDB listings do show Fawad as being a part of the series as a character named 'Hasan'.

    The Pakistani heartthrob has already endeared himself to the Indian audience through his work in Pakistani serials like Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Humsafar, as well as Indian films like Khoobsurat, Kapoor And Sons, and Aye Dil Hai Mushkil.

    So far, there has been no official confirmation from either Fawad or Marvel Studios, however, if the reports are indeed true, Marvel will have gained an extremely good-looking and talented Asian actor alongside India's very own Farhan.

    Indian Idol was among the most popular and much loved singing-based reality shows when it started in 2004. The first batch of contestants including Rahul Vaidya, Prajakta Shukre and the winner Abhijeet Sawant still remain unforgettable for the fans. 
    © Instagram
    However, lately, the reality show has been entangled in a lot of controversies where former contestants and judges have disclosed the dirty secrets of the show and what goes behind the scenes. And, it is being criticised, mocked online and even questioned for its authenticity.

    © Instagram
    A few days ago, one of the contestants of the current season Indian Idol 12, Shanmukhapriya was heavily trolled for her singing style. Fans accused her for ruining the Bollywood classics by modifying them in her own style and snatching the essence of the soulful melodies. 

    © Instagram
    She sang a rendition of Asha Bhosle’s ‘Chura Liya Hai’ recently, in which she included yodeling and fans were not impressed. Also, they accused the judges for being biased to her and praising her for no apparent reason.

    Things turned nasty when a contestant that the audience loved, Anjali Gaikward was eliminated from the show last week. Fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment with the decision and demanded they bring her back. 
    © Instagram
    Netizens believe that she was one of the finest classical singers and the most talented among the lot and evicting her over Shanmukhapriya and another contestant Danish was highly unfair. They bashed the show for it and wondered if there is any ‘reality’ left in the ‘reality show’.

    But they must judge a talent with respect and give chance only to talented people.#IndianIdol2021 #AnjaliGaikWad #classical #music she is the gem

    — Aarti Jadkar (@jadkar_aarti) June 7, 2021
    Why are the judges of #IndianIdol2021 so biased in their praise?When a contestant beats a melodious old song to its death, they are all praises, whereas when a singer lie #AnjaliGaikWad sings and retains the song's glory they aren't much impressed.@SonyTV kindly get real judges.

    While trolling Shanmukhapriya for her singing through memes isn’t the right way to express their disapproval for a contestant, they are not wrong to question the authenticity of the show.

    After all, the audience's votes is one of the primary criteria for elimination for Indian Idol and if everyone wanted Anjali on the show, how come she got evicted?

    Ever since the story of Sushil Kumar being arrested in the murder case of fellow wrestler Sagar Rana has gone public, people from all over the country have been talking about how both of his Olympic medals should be confiscated if found guilty of the crime.
    A report from Times of India explains the case study of Oscar Pistorius - a decorated Paralympian, who won six gold, one silver and one bronze medals as a sprinter - currently serving imprisonment for the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2014.
    Despite being found guilty, Pistorius was allowed to keep his medals, while there remains no precedent in which an athlete was devoid of his achievements despite being charged with a criminal offense.

    Additionally, nowhere in the Olympic Charter, is mentioned that the medals will be taken away from an Olympian even if found guilty of the crime. The sixth chapter of the charter - Measures and Sanctions, Disciplinary Procedures and Dispute Decision, however, has a clause under which it is suggested that breaching these codes of ethics may lead to "temporary or permanent ineligibility or exclusion from the Olympic Games, disqualification or withdrawal of accreditation.”
    "In the case of disqualification or exclusion, the medals and diplomas obtained in relation to the relevant infringement of the Olympic Charter shall be returned to the IOC. In addition, at the discretion of the IOC Executive Board, a competitor or a team may lose the benefit of any ranking obtained in relation to other events at the Olympic Games at which he or it was disqualified or excluded. In such a case, the medals and diplomas won by him or it shall be returned to the IOC (Executive Board).
    In essence, if Sushil Kumar is found guilty of murder, he may not be able to represent his country at the quadrennial tournament anymore. However, he may get to keep all the awards and recognitions that he’d won at the games.

    On the other hand, when it comes to the Padma awards, the process is a lot more sorted out and the final say on whether or not Kumar’s recognition should be revoked remains in the hands of the President of India and the Ministry of Sports.
    "The one who murdered my son does not deserve to be called a mentor. All the medals won by Sushil Kumar should be taken from him.
