    Like almost everything else in the world, social media too has two sides of the coin. 

    One, which is highly informative, keeps you up with the times and helps you stay close to your friends. And the other, which involves online bullying, hate comments, and the spread of misinformation. 
    Unfortunately in India, there has been a track record of misinformation remaining prevalent over the recent course of years through apps like Facebook and Whatsapp, to which the country remains the biggest market. 
    Following cases of mob-related violence and killings due to the spread of WhatsApp rumors back in 2017, the messaging app,  launched a newspaper advertising campaign warning against fake news and announced changes for its Indian users that labeled forwarded messages into the category of being misinformation. 
    However, while things may have slowed down, they surely have refused to come to a permanent halt. 
    Recently, a video did rounds of social networking sites, which showed a police officer shooting down a man and his female friend at point-blank range in Haryana. 

    The video was shared on Facebook with the claim, which translated to "Policeman committed a murder of two people in broad daylight".

    People watching the gory video were horrified in the manner the two individuals were shot by the official in broad daylight in front of bystanders. 
    However, much to everyone's relief, the video was reported to be a part of a web series' shooting in Haryana's Karnal.
    Rahul Srivastav, the Additional Superintendent of Police of the Anti-Terrorism Squad in the Haryana state clarified in his tweet that the video was staged. 
    "#FactCheck- A video of a gory murder by a cop outside a restaurant is floating since today morning on #socialmedia, triggering queries & confusion. On verification, it’s attributed to a #webseries shot outside ‘Friends Cafe’ in Karnal Haryana as per the manager of the Cafe." he tweeted.

    — RAHUL SRIVASTAV (@upcoprahul) April 12, 2021 Soon after the clarification, social media users took to Twitter to express what they thought about it.
    This kind of drama should be banned for general mass consumption and makers of such content should be black/grey listed as they propose filthy mindset and promote crass language.
    — Subodh (@___subodh) April 13, 2021sir, we should discourage people to share this kind of videos and people should be strictly warned for this
    — Ashutosh Kumar Rai (@ashutosh_3010) April 12, 2021This is very much expected from the police in india. Policemen do commit such crimes in india but they are not video taped like this. This is fake, however the scenario is not.
    — NB (@nikhilbhalla2) April 12, 2021This kind of web series should be immediately banned as the same is giving a very wrong massage about our Police Dept and the person shooting it should be arrested immediately for shooting such scene in public place.
    — DILIP BHATTACHARYA (@bhattachadilip) April 12, 2021What the hell, look at that small kid standing over there, that actress said some words and the violence created by the director , what kind of effects will that child suffer? You can not show such to kids man, Look at her reaction when cop shot that girl dead.
    — Ameya P (@AmeyaPrabhawal1) April 12, 2021This type of #webseries should be banned. Because it'll make bad impact on citizens. The #Police department is always for safety of our citizens not to hurt them. pic.twitter.com/VFyTqFNr5C
    — PRONIT.EXE (@NPronit) April 12, 2021Even this is ONE lousiest way, that they use to create "mongering" awareness. Probably the police force adjudicated to that region / place should take offence of this mongering & file a case to the Media house & its PR to book, immediately
    — RK (@myrkrish) April 12, 2021 Then, someone shared what most of us would think when witnessing such a gruesome incident.
    Sir, Now a days, there are number of such shootings happen in the Country.The videos are so Violent/ Dangerous and it is very difficult to identify the genuineness.
    The blind Social media peoples, without applying their mind, make them viral at Public domain.
    T 1
    — Jitendra Chaturvedi (Official Account)️🔴🇮🇳 (@Jitendr37502078) April 12, 2021Surely, the video was not taken in good taste. Let us know what you think of it.

    Chetan Sakariya made his debut for Rajasthan Royals in their opening clash against Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League and stunned everyone with his performance. The left-arm Sakariya took three wickets and it was his astronomical catch that astonished everyone. It was in the 2021 IPL auction that he was picked up for Rs 1.2 crore by Rajasthan Royals. 
    What a stunner by Chetan Sakariya ! #RRvPBKS #chetansakariya pic.twitter.com/wSbxo02xX2

    He might be the star of today but he had to overcome many odds and personal battles to reach here. Here’s what all we know about his family and the struggles he had to go through in his life. 

    Tragic Personal Life1. Just a month prior to him being selected by the IPL, he lost his brother. In a heart-wrenching note shared by his mother with Around The Wicket, she said that Chetan’s younger brother had died by suicide and the family didn’t tell him because he was playing the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. They kept the truth hidden from him for 10 days and when he got to know, he was devastated and didn’t eat or talk to anyone for a week as the two brothers were really close. 
    She said, “I hope nobody goes through the pain and struggles we went through. My second child, a son who was a year younger than Chetan, committed suicide a month ago. Chetan was playing the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at that time, which he finished as the sixth-highest wicket-taker. We didn’t inform him about his brother’s death for the first 10 days as we didn’t want his game to be affected. All we told him was that his father wasn’t keeping well.”  
    She went on to add, “Every time Chetan would call to ask about his father’s health, he would ask us to make him speak to his brother. But I'd change the topic. I wouldn't let him speak to his father too because I knew my husband would tell him the truth. But one day, I broke down on the call. After knowing of his brother’s death, Chetan didn't speak to anybody for a week. Neither did he eat. The two brothers were very close.”

His mother's note also revealed that the family didn’t have any financial backing per se as his father was a lorry driver and unfortunately, he had been bedridden after meeting with three accidents. The hardest part in his mother's note was that his father still hasn’t recovered from his younger son’s suicide, “He is yet to recover from our son’s suicide. Neither does he eat nor talk. I try my best to give him strength.”  
    3. As it was hard for the father to make ends meet financially, Chetan started to work at his maternal uncle’s shop so as to help his family. His mother also added that until five years ago, they didn’t even own a TV and it was from outside that they used to get updates of their son’s cricket career.

    4. Chetan’s younger brother was the only bread earner of the house but he too died by suicide, leaving the whole family stranded and it was Chetan’s IPL contract that gave the family much-needed hope. His mother said, “The first thing he wants to do with the money is buying us a house in Rajkot.”  
    5. Chetan’s mother also contributed to the family and still continues to do so with her embroidery work. She added, “I also contribute to the family income by doing stonework on sarees. When my children were small, I would leave them alone at home to go out and do embroidery. That money was used for their education.”

    6. She now feels that Chetan’s hard work has paid off and also said that ever since he got the contract, the media has been contacting them daily. 
    After listening to this, we truly respect the man that Chetan has become as he battled miseries to become the achiever he is today and it’s not that easy.  
    After his personal life, let’s head on to his professional career.  
    1. Chetan‘s skills are almost self-taught as it wasn’t until he was 16 that he had formal coaching of any kind. He used to copy Irfan Pathan and Zaheer Khan's actions while bowling. 
    2. It was six years ago that he created a stir when he played for Saurashtra in the Cooch Behar Trophy, where he picked up 18 wickets in six games, including 5 for 84 against Karnataka Under-19.

    3. Chetan made his senior team debut during the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy season and has so far featured in 15 first-class games, seven List A games, and 16 T20s.  
    4. In the latest development, he was picked by the Rajasthan Royals team at the February auction for Rs 1.2 crores and that has completely changed his fate.  
    Needless to say, Chetan's story can inspire a million others to fight against odds and achieve their dreams. We hope he has a successful career ahead of him.

    An Apple iPhone 11 Pro that had a slight problem with its design was sold for over Rs 2 Lakh due to its rarity. Apple usually doesn’t let devices with misprints or design flaws get into the hands of customers due to its rigorous quality checking. However, there is always an exception to the rule and one iPhone 11 Pro with a misprinted logo got into the hands of a customer. The misprinted logo iPhone in question sold for $2,700.

    If you look at any iPhone, the logo is usually found right at the centre of the back of the phone, however in this case, the logo is slightly off the center to the right. You can see the prominent misplacement when looking at it at an angle. It is not known where this iPhone was sold, however it is indicative of a manufacturing error that got unnoticed by the quality control team. 

    A misprint iPhone 11 Pro that sold for 2700$. This misprint is extremely rare- I’d say 1 in 100 million or possibly even rarer. pic.twitter.com/68F7giZAbm

    In the world of collectors, usually, items that fetch a high price have to be rare or have a defect that is not common to the item. For example, banknotes can sometimes have defects that increase their value significantly depending on their rarity. The same logic is applied here for the misplaced logo iPhone as it is a one in a million case.

    A similar case happened in 2015 where a customer found a defect in an iPad Pro where it had a very unique colour, a gold Touch ID and a silver back according to 9to5Mac. When the user contacted Apple about the problem, he was told it was an “extremely rare” manufacturing error and he would need to get a replacement. In the end, the customer decided to hold onto the iPad Pro as he was advised it could be worth a lot of money. 

    Have you ever come across an iPhone that has a noticeable defect? It could be worth a lot of money just like this iPhone that had a misplaced logo.

    He said, “I would just like to say from my experience that you should not lose your originality. These superstars do fake acting, so don't get carried away with it. I want to see your original acting. If you are acting like a superstar, why would I watch you? If you show something good, something that is interesting and original, I would want to see that.”

    Some of the best movies we watched while growing up included names like K3G or a DDLJ, because not only did they cater to the masses, they also represented our ‘larger than life’ thoughts in the best way possible. However, Bollywood and cinema have evolved over the years. Content is the true king now, and while filmmakers are now making movies which don’t follow a clichéd structure, there are some great experimental movies which have actually challenged how we look at conventional filmmaking and changed the way we perceive cinema. Here are 8 such movies which are a must-watch for anyone who is looking for some brilliant content:  
    1. PushpakThis silent movie can make more noise than many other movies. The story follows an unemployed man who finds a rich man lying drunk on the road side. He abducts him and eventually wears his name and feigns his identity. This film won a National Award for being the ‘most popular film’, and rightly so!

    2. LSDNo one was prepared for this movie when it released in 2010. With a small budget in hand and no big names in the star cast, this movie continues to be one of the rare niche movies which questioned commercial filmmaking. The storytelling format is simply outstanding with this one.

    3. No SmokingA neo-noir psychological thriller that made people sit up and really rattle their brains for a while. I personally know a few people who actually took a sabbatical from smoking as well. The movie follows a chain smoker who checks into a rehab to quit smoking. He eventually signs a cheque for 21 lakhs and is warned before release, that his family will be harmed in case he begins smoking again. No spoilers, just watch this if you still haven’t.

    4. AK vs AKThe most interesting aspect of this Anurag Kashyap experimental venture is the real-time shooting style of this documentary/film. The daughter of a film star gets kidnapped by a cynical director and the actor is forced to look for her as he is being filmed in the process. A very interesting watch, to say the least.

    5. Ship Of TheseusThis movie brings together a monk, a stock broker and a photographer who try to unravel questions of justice, beauty and more importantly, the meaning of this life. This movie is directed by Anand Gandhi, has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and also won a National Award for the ‘best feature film’.

    6. Finding FannyThis one was a mixed bag in terms of the reception it got from the public. A satirical comedy film, this movie has a group of odd ball personalities who embark on a road trip together with a common journey that is leading them to find a certain ‘Fanny’. A simple story which will leave you with multiple afterthoughts.

    7. Jaane Bhi Do YaaroAn extremely powerful movie which was way ahead of its time if you compare the kind of projects that were being made in 1983. This is a comedy movie which follows two photographers who are employed by a newspaper to photograph and expose the rich class. Accidentally, while trying to uncover the doings of a builder, they end up witnessing a murder. This movie is a must-watch for every Indian which gives you a glimpse in the real class divide of our nation. Extremely relevant in 2021 as well.

    8. LudoThis was one of the genius creative bouts of ace story teller Anurag Basu. Put a group of people, add situational comedy, some epiphanies, some personal revelations, and make this all a part of this wonderful game called Ludo. That’s the whole recipe of the story and this is one experiment that went down quite well with the audiences.
