    She also said, “This has been a team effort all the way... from the many many menu deliberations, food tastings, and decor decisions with @maneeshkgoyal, @davidrabin8, Chef @harinayak, and @mabowersinc, to landing on the perfect name, all thanks to @nickjonas - yes! Hubby came up with the name at an early tasting with the team, as Sona means ‘gold,’ and he had heard that word in India, well...A LOT, throughout our wedding!”

    The second of three One Day Internationals between India and England saw a dream start for the hosts as skipper Virat Kohli alongside the star-studded middle-order went on an absolute tear in the first half of the match, scoring a mammoth 336-run total by the end of the 50th over.
    Led by KL Rahul’s phenomenal 108 and Rishabh Pant’s quickfire 77 off 40 deliveries, the Men in Blue more than made up for the fall of early wickets in the form of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. A comfortable-looking 100-run partnership between Kohli and Rahul became the strong foundation to build a well-balanced innings on top of, which the Indian batsmen successfully did.

    Then came the top-order of the touring England side, living up to their name and rank in international cricket, putting on an absolute show in the middle of the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
    From Jason Roy’s surgical 55 off 52 balls to Jonny Bairstow’s 124-run match-winning innings to Ben Stokes’ fiery stint, albeit with a little bit of luck and extra love shown by the third-umpire, the Englishmen punished the rival bowlers and how. 
    View this post on Instagram
    Spinners Krunal Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav were thrashed with the latter’s 84-run 10-over spell witnessing eight sixes - the most number of maximums given by an Indian bowler in the history of ODIs. Shardul Thakur also looked a bit expensive, while series debutant Prasidh Krishna’s 2/58 and Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s 1/63 kept India in contention until the 44th over (yes, it could have ended sooner).
    Having said that, it is important to understand that the Virat Kohli-led side has been incredible during England’s tour of India. They thrashed the visitors in the four-match Test series, won the T20Is with a 3-2 lead, and also took home a 66-run victory in the first ODI in Pune.
    Still, the one loss in the second ODI has led to former England skipper Michael Vaughan giving a free lesson to the Indian squad about their approach towards the 50-over format of the game.
    Today should be a lesson to India ... Playing it safe for 40 overs with Bat might cost them in a World Cup at home in 2 yrs ... they have enough power & depth to get scores of 375 + on flat wickets ... England leading the way with this approach ... #INDvENG

    Here’s how fans of the Indian cricket team reacted:
    just in the last ODI england also choked with this approach. calm down!
    — Neeche Se Topper (@NeecheSeTopper) March 26, 2021Ha ha. You are giving lessons based on a fluke victory! English team was absolutely destroyed in test series. You were defeated in T20 series as well and you will very likely lose the final game of ODI series as well. Take some lessons for yourself.
    — Neel Fotedar (@neelmed) March 26, 2021One win and the whole english community starts barking! Wait for the decider! It's good to see your team getting back form. Final will be entertaining..otherwise it would have been a one sided affair
    — Souvik Roy (@so_vkroy) March 26, 2021Yes, and you've been missing them for a long time too. 2 series losses and a loss in a one day-er. But seriously mate. You've got to stop living vicariously through other teams. #INDvENG
    — Tracer Bullet (@WhispererMarket) March 26, 2021Pls hold your insights till the decider on sunday..Don't jump the gun so early, atleast after losing both test and T20 series.

    It has been a year since the pandemic struck. Gyms were closed, parks were prohibited and our fitness goals were compromised. Even now, COVID-19 has not gone away and with the number of cases on the rise again, the possibility of another lockdown doesn’t seem that far off. 
    The good news is that this time, we’re better prepared. We know what to eat, what to avoid and what habits to incorporate in order to keep ourselves safe. Working out happens to be one of them.
    Well, for now, let’s talk about HIIT—the mode of training that involves high-intensity exercises, followed by low-intensity exercises with short periods of rest in between. 
    This method is extremely potent for fat loss. It takes less time, burns a ton of calories and can be done at home as well.
    Here are three HIIT Circuits that are going to be very helpful in keeping you fit at home

    Final ThoughtsHIIT is a great way to burn calories and build muscles at the same time. Once you are used to these workouts you can use resistance bands to make it more challenging.
    Along with these exercises, you have to make sure that you get full rest and complete nutrition. Don’t overexert yourself.

    As recently as last week Realme was caught manipulating/cheating on a benchmark app that got the Realme GT banned from Antutu. The smartphone industry is quite competitive and some companies tend to cheat on benchmarking apps to get favourable review scores and mislead customers. This is not the first time this has happened and it won’t be the last. Here are seven instances where smartphone companies were caught cheating on benchmark apps:
    1. Huawei © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    Huawei has been caught cheating for multiple things in the past. From faking DSLR photos (twice) to faking selfie images. However, in 2018, Huawei was caught hardcoding the Mate 20 for manipulating benchmark scores. The smartphone was hardcoded to offer maximum possible performance whenever a benchmark app test was detected. The company was caught doing the same for the Huawei P20 series as well. 

    2. Honor  © YouTube/GeekyRanjit
    Huawei’s offshoot brand at the time was also found cheating benchmark apps specifically with ‘Honor Play’. In fact, Android Authority found a 21% leap in scores which didn’t sit well with customers. Not only did it break the trust of customers, but it also tainted the brand's reputation forever. 

    3. Xiaomi  © Xiaomi
    Xiaomi is not as big of a culprit as Huawei or Honor but the company was found inflating scores on the Mi 8 in 2019. The company hardcoded the device to inflate scores by 5% which isn’t as bad as compared to others. It’s still misleading customers, however it wasn’t as bad as other companies on this list. 

    4. OnePlus  © Youtube/The Verge
    OnePlus is yet another culprit that was accused in 2017 of hardcoding the OnePlus 5 review units for inflating benchmark scores. What made this a big deal was not only the fact that it misled customers, it also tainted the work of reviewers and journalists with misleading data. The code in the smartphone was designed to manipulate Geekbench 4, Antutu, Androbench, Nenamark 2, Vellamo and GFXBench. 

    5. Oppo  © Oppo
    The Oppo R17 Pro was caught manipulating benchmark scores by 25% for multi-core scores and 12% for single-core scores. Oppo really tried to manipulate the single-core scores in hopes to look faster and more efficient than the competition. 

    6. MediaTek  © Mediatek
    While we’ve mostly listed smartphone companies on this list for cheating benchmark scores, we couldn’t believe a silicon manufacturing company would also go down this route. Mediatek was found manipulating scores on smartphones that were powered by its chipsets. A file named ‘Power_Whitelist_CFG.xml’ was discovered by AnandTech that came directly from MediaTek and was integrated into the chip's BSP (Board Support Package). What’s worse is that the company was doing this since 2016 and blamed it on “Industry Practices.” 

    7. Realme  © Realme
    Realme was caught manipulating benchmark scores on Antutu which led to the Realme GT getting banned for three months. The phone was ousted by Antutu last week as it was found using thread delay tactics to run a multithreaded test on its fast CPU cores as much as possible. The phone also “modified” the reference JPG image used by Antutu to manipulate the score. Instead of processing the image, the phone used mosaic colour blocks to reduce the quality of the image for a faster render and processing time.

    In another episode of ‘someone just got extremely lucky', a Thai woman found an orange Melo pearl that is worth crores in her meal. Yes, you read that right!
    Kodchakorn Tantiwiwatkul had bought sea snails for Rs 163 from a local market for making dinner in Satun Province.

    As she was cutting the snails into smaller pieces for making dinner, she noticed that one of the snail shells had a round orange object inside. She thought it was a rock but later she discovered that it was a six-gram Melo pearl. She was shocked. The pearl was 1.5cm in diameter. She assumed it only to be a small fortune according to its quality.

    Her family and she decided to keep the fortunate discovery of the pearl to themselves and didn’t tell anyone as they were scared that the snail vendor might ask her to return it.
    However, Kodchakorn has now decided to sell the pearl to pay for her mother’s medical expenses.
    In an interview with Daily Mail, she said, “I showed it to my mother and she said it’s a Melo pearl and very valuable. We also watched the news on the television where a fisherman sold his for a fortune.”

    Kodchakorn’s father Niwat Tantiwiwatkul said that they needed money and he recently had an accident which made things worse. Not only this, his wife also needs cancer treatment and now they might be able to afford that. The whole family’s medical bills amount to more than Rs 23.34 lakh.

    Niwat said, “We can’t wait any longer. Now, we are desperate. My wife was diagnosed with cancer while I had an accident. This Melo pearl is our only hope to help them access the better treatment.”
    The family has now decided to find potential buyers who will offer them a good price for the valuable Melo pearl.
    © Twitter
    There is a wide variety of Melo pearls that range from orange to tan to brown. However, orange is the most valuable shade of all. These pearls are usually found in the South China Sea and the Andaman Sea off the coast of Myanmar.

    Didn’t they just get extremely lucky?

    If you have seen Silsila, you may also be aware that a lot of people claimed that it was loosely based on the complicated relationship between Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya, and Rekha. Despite so much being written about Amitabh and Rekha’s relationship, the alleged relationship between the two stars continues to garner attention from fans. 
    Their love story started in the year 1976 on the sets of Do Anjaane when Amitabh was already married to Jaya. It was kept a secret till Amitabh lost his cool when a co-star misbehaved with Rekha on the sets of Ganga Ki Saugand.

    The news of their relationship started doing the rounds but they kept denying their relationship until later, in an interview, Silsila’s director Yash Chopra confirmed it, leading to further speculations. People even questioned Rekha about the ‘sindoor’ as there were rumours about them secretly marrying each other.

    It was often reported that their relationship created a ruckus in the Bachchan household which was quite obvious. In a sensational interview with Stardust in 1978 – ‘Rekha: Girl without a Conscience?’, the actor gave evidence that Jaya knew of Amitabh’s relationship with her.
    © TOI/Filmfare
    Rekha had said, ‘Once I was looking at the whole [Bachchan] family through the projection room when they came to see the trial show of Muqaddar Ka Sikandar. Jaya was sitting in the front row and he and his parents were in the row behind her. They couldn’t see her as clearly as I could. And during our love scenes, I could see tears pouring down her face.’

    It was being claimed that Jaya had completely banned Amitabh from working with Rekha in further projects after Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and when she confronted Amitabh, he had no answers for it.
    Rekha said, ‘A week later [after the trial show of Muqaddar Ka Sikandar], everybody in the industry was telling me that he has made it clear to his producers that he was not going to work with me. Everybody else informed me about it but he didn’t say a word on the subject. When I tried to question him about it, he said, 'I am not going to say a word. Don’t ask me about it'."
    © TOI/Filmfare
    In the same interview, she revealed one more shocking detail. Apparently, Amitabh had gifted the two rings that she always used to wear but she returned them to him as he refused to work with her. She added, ‘Naturally I was upset and we broke off after that. I was working in Khoobsurat at that time and I put my heart and soul into my role. You will notice that in the last half of the film I am not wearing my two rings. They have been given to me by him and I never remove them even when I am sleeping. But during those days when we had parted, I sent them back to him.’

    Another shocking detail that she shared in the very same interview was the fact that Jaya called her over for dinner and made it clear that she won’t ever leave Amitabh. Rekha said, "Jaya did not mind the relationship as long as she thought her husband was only having a fling. It’s when she realized that he was really emotionally involved that is when it began hurting her. She called me for dinner one evening and though we spoke about everything but him before I left that day, she made sure to tell me, ‘I will never leave Amit whatever happens.’’
    © TOI/Filmfare
    Amitabh completely distanced himself from Rekha eventually, as he wanted to guard his relationship with Jaya. He had publicly denied any relationship with Rekha.

    In an interview with Filmfare in November 1984, Rekha spoke of Amitabh’s denial about their affair: “Why should he have not done it? He did it to protect his image, to protect his family, to protect his children. I think it is beautiful, I don’t care what the public thinks of it. Why should the public know of my love for him or his love for me? I love him, he loves me – that’s it! I don’t care what anybody thinks. If he’d reacted that way towards me in private, I would have been very disappointed. But has he ever done that? I ask you. So why should I care about what he’s said in public? I know people must be saying bechari Rekha, pagal hai us par, phir bhi dekho. Maybe I deserve that pity. Not that he has 10 rollicking affairs! Mr. Bachchan is still old-fashioned. He doesn’t want to hurt anybody, so why hurt his wife?”

    To date, Amitabh and Rekha’s relationship has been one of the most talked-about affairs in the industry.
