    India’s COVID-19 situation is currently worsening day by day and Apple CEO Tim Cook has pledged aid to India in the form of donations. Cook announced that Apple will be donating relief efforts and support on the ground. The announcement comes after Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced their plans to help India’s fight against the raging epidemic. 
    Amid a devastating rise of COVID cases in India, our thoughts are with the medical workers, our Apple family and everyone there who is fighting through this awful stage of the pandemic. Apple will be donating to support and relief efforts on the ground.

    Cook announced via a Tweet “Amid a devastating rise of COVID cases in India, our thoughts are with the medical workers, our Apple family and everyone there who is fighting through this awful stage of the pandemic. Apple will be donating to support and relief efforts on the ground.”

    Neither Apple nor Cook have elaborated in what form the donation will come to India at the moment. Google will be sending aid to India via NGOs GiveIndia and UNICEF while Microsoft announced it will help India with the purchase of oxygen concentrators. We could see a similar relief effort by Apple in the coming days or the Cupertino giant may talk directly to the government for providing aid.

    India is currently facing a dire situation with the second wave of COVID-19 where the country has already registered over 1 million new cases in the past 72 hours. India’s devastating second wave of COVID-19 cases has caused a shortage of oxygen in cities like New Delhi. The Indian Government is working hard to provide oxygen supplies to cities that are worst hit but are facing transportation issues.  

    Tech companies aren’t the only ones providing aid to India as nations such as the US, the UK, Germany, France, Pakistan, are also providing a helping hand and significant support for the Indian people.  
    Apple is also amongst the first few companies that are encouraging its employees to get vaccinated. Apple will launch a website that will allow its employees to sign up for vaccination appointments. Earlier, the company also pledged donations worth $15 million towards the global COVID-19 relief efforts.

    It’s not a new debate that how many talented actors are sidelined, not given their due, and in fact made to believe that they will have to settle for less in order to survive in the fancy world of Bollywood. You would agree to the fact that Randeep Hooda’s talent has been wasted in many movies and he truly deserves to be celebrated way more than he has been until now. It’s sad that Bollywood hasn’t done anything to truly appreciate the actor of his calibre.
    Bollywood did sideline him and he doesn’t believe in succumbing to the ways the glam industry functions. In an interview with Pinkvilla, the actor shared why he prefers to stay away from Bollywood’s quintessential lifestyle. He said, “There is a life that I want to lead and that ideal Bollywood life of dressing up and going to these parties and being a part of the self-congratulatory cliques-- you know, the kind of a system that exists – No, I don’t miss it. My life has been about trying to live my characters, trying to live life as away from the trappings of it as much as possible; so that I don’t lose touch with the reality of life. Once you lose touch with the reality of life that’s where it starts to show on the screen. You start to appear unreal. So, I have always kept that around me. It’s my ideal lifestyle I don’t have to copy anybody. In fact, I have not given into the kind of culture that we have in the industry. There is certain sycophancy; there is a certain way of dealing with people. Everybody is an artist and so I feel and always have felt at par with everybody. There should be a sense of respect, which is there. But apart from that, I have not catered to that kind of a mindset.”

    We completely agree with the fact that once an actor loses the vision, he or she doesn’t look convincing on the screen. The actor also spoke about how the star system has always driven Bollywood and it needs to stop. This is one of the reasons that we are unable to compete with world cinema.
    He said, “I’m just an artist. I’m just an actor. I have done movies of all genres. I have done Hindi movies. I have done commercial movies. I have even delved a little into song and dance in a couple of movies; I was not very great at it. There was a time when songs of a film used to take the screenplay forward. But now, it’s more of a disruption. I want to move on and watch the story. The industry always measures it from the point of view of numbers and who they like to cast. That star system has to change.”

    He also added how Bollywood chooses the star first and then builds the script taking that actor in mind.
    “We have got a huge industry but we’re not really able to compete with the world because [ideally] the script comes first and then the casting is done according to the script or the story. Here, you have to cast a star and then the story is built around. Therefore, a lot of inappropriate casting happens where you know the storyteller is also not left with much to play. This system, obviously, has to change. It has to be about the story, the script, and then you cast actors according to who suits that character the best. Rather than just going for those few names because they are the stars and everybody else is kachra - that’s not the case. It has to be more about storytelling than just be about you know pandering to a star system,” he added.
    Randeep’s talent has always been underappreciated by the Bollywood circle and he has now gotten used to it. When his Hollywood venture released, he got appreciation from across the border but not many Bollywood celebs praised his act.

    On this, he added, “Well I’m quite used to it. It does happen time and again, well that’s okay. Maybe they didn’t like my acting, liked my action maybe, that’s why they didn’t speak up. But yeah there is a lot of hoopla that happens you know amongst people within the industry which did not happen for this. But, hey maybe as I said before maybe you didn’t like my acting.”
    We wonder when would Bollywood realize the calibre of actors like Randeep and cast them in movies that can give them their due.

    The Indian Premier League clash between two of the most struggling franchises of the season, Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders took place yesterday and as if the fans didn't already anticipate it, the match turned out to be a low-scoring affair with many even getting  “Test match” vibes out of it. 
    Losing the toss, KL Rahul’s squad was made to bat first at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium - one of the two venues for the second leg of the 14th edition of the tournament, given the coronavirus outbreak in the country.
    Today is the final IPL match at Chepauk and Wankhede. From tomorrow the leg will move to Ahmedabad and Delhi for the next 16 league matches.
    — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) April 25, 2021
    Nonetheless, the match was quickly won by Eoin Morgan’s side within 17 overs, albeit at the loss of five of their finest batsmen. It took a captain’s knock to get the Kolkata side just their second win of the season which boosted their position from the bottom of the IPL Points Table to the number five position, even though they have played one match more than the rest of the teams.
    However, it is the Punjab squad and their disappointing run during IPL 2021 that has caught the attention of the fans. The fact that despite having a loaded roster with names like KL Rahul and Chris Gayle at the top of their batting order and Mohammed Shami leading the bowling attack, the team struggles to win matches so much has become astounding for those who support the team passionately.
    KL Rahul is at a loss of words #PBKSvKKR | #IPL2021
    — ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) April 26, 2021
    Many have blamed the lack of leadership skills shown by Rahul as the leading reason behind Punjab’s disappointing series so far while others are going for a deeper analysis.
    The head coach of the franchise, Anil Kumble has now come under fire for not being able to make the team function better regardless of the talented names onboard. 
    The problem was Anil Kumble not Virat Kohli..Today we're seeing it live.!#KKRvsPBKS
    — Deep Point (@ComeonPant) April 26, 2021Absolutely!!! https://t.co/jTrjnBR197
    — Parth Dhanesha (@iampaarth_) April 26, 2021The feud between Kohli and Kumble  is an ugly one. At the time of resigning from the position Team India enjoyed one of their most successful records when it came to bilateral series and went all the way in the Champions Trophy. But the way Kumble went out, making sure that the world knew about how Kohli was the reason for his resignation, made things exponentially worse for the two sides.

    “I was surprised since I have always respected the role boundaries between Captain and Coach. Though the BCCI attempted to resolve the misunderstandings between the Captain and me, it was apparent that the partnership was untenable, and I, therefore, believe it is best for me to move on,” Kumble had written back in 2017.

    Apple finally released the new iOS 14.5 update for iPhone devices that have rolled out features we’ve been waiting for for a while. Important updates such as unlocking the iPhone while wearing a Facebook with an Apple Watch was also part of the new update. Other features such as the ability to track AirTags is also part of the update. 
    However, the most important feature to roll out is Apple’s new ‘App Tracking Transparency’ where it identifies apps that track your data inside the app and also outside of them. This is particularly bad news for Facebook and other apps that track your activity on other apps such as Amazon and serve you advertisements in return. 
    © Apple
    Before the latest update, you could disable tracking on all of your apps but now the new update gives users more control. You will need to head to Settings > Privacy > Tracking and turn off  ‘Allow Apps to Request to Track’ if you do not wish to be asked by Apps to give permission for tracking. If You can also be more specific and only allow certain apps to track you. When you install new apps, you will be prompted automatically asking whether you want the new app to track you or not. If you already have apps like Facebook installed on your phone, you will need to delete and reinstall them in order to have the prompt pop up. 
    © Apple
    Many apps track activity for targeted advertising and now after the iOS 14.5 update, these apps must ask for user permission first. If denied, these apps will no longer have access to the phone’s IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers). Apple made it clear to developers with a document stating “To request permission to track the user and access the device’s advertising identifier, use the AppTrackingTransparency framework. You must also include a purpose string in the system prompt that explains why you’d like to track the user. Unless you receive permission from the user to enable tracking, the device’s advertising identifier value will be all zeros and you may not track them”.

    Apple is not looking to end targeted advertisements on iPhones but instead, give more control to users in allowing which apps can track you. Of course, the new update was a major concern for Facebook as its entire business model depends on targeted advertising. The company has been very vocal about the new feature however that did not stop Apple from rolling out the new ‘App Tracking Transparency’ feature.

    Let me go on record and say - Michael B Jordan is the uncrowned king of style. Right from flaunting his bulging abs in 'Creed' to looking effortlessly suave in 'Fruitvale Station' - trust this dapper actor to look polished in every avatar. News is, the trailer of his upcoming film 'Without Remorse' has left fans smitten (all over again!), and we're not surprised. 
    Amazon Prime Video
    Michael B Jordan as Senior Chief John Kelly in 'Without Remorse' is a sight to behold - this elite Navy SEAL operates in war torn Syria where he rescues a CIA officer taken hostage by ex-Russian military forces. When a squad of Russian soldiers kills his family in retaliation for his role in a top-secret op, Sr. Chief John Kelly (Michael B. Jordan) pursues the assassins at all costs. Needless to say - one can expect adrenaline-thumping action from this high-octane action thriller headlined by the global heartthrob Michale Bae Jordan! Take a look at the trailer - 



    Voted as ‘PEOPLE’s 2020 Sexiest Man Alive’, Michael B Jordan lives up to the title and looks like a ripped style God in the trailer. His chiseled jawline and drool-wrothy abs work wonders for his Navy SEAL avatar and make us root for him from the word go.
    Amazon Prime Video
    On a side note – several men might find themselves googling his coveted work-out regime after watching the trailer – but that’s only natural. 

    Amazon Prime Video
    His drop-dead-dapper looks complement his rugged character and dark past in Tom Clancy's 'Without Remorse'. After losing his family to a brutal retaliation by the Russian forces, John Kelly (Michael B Jordan) joins forces with fellow Navy SEAL (played by Jodie Turner Smith) and a CIA agent (played by Jamie Bell), John Kelly’s mission unintentionally exposes a covert plot that threatens to unleash an all-out war between the USA and Russia.  
    Amazon Prime Video
    Directed by Stefano Sollima and written by Taylor Sheridan and Will Staples, ‘Without Remorse’ has action-thriller fans waiting for the film to release with bated breath, while the women are already drooling over the snazzy hunk in lead. The film also stars Jamie Bell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Lauren London, and Brett Gelman in crucial roles. 

    This Amazon original is slated to release globally on April 30, only on Prime Video. So, mark your calendars and brace yourselves to deep dive into Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan universe.
