    Castor oil—best known as a laxative and an unpleasant tasting fluid—has gone through a makeover and it’s all set to become a part of your beauty regime. Not only is it a top-notch moisturiser for hair and skin but also one of the best-kept beauty secrets.     

    What Is Castor Oil? © iStock
    Castor oil is derived from a plant called Ricinus communis which is mostly found in India, Africa and South America. 

    It is mainly composed of ricinoleic acid, a type of fatty acid that possesses anti-inflammatory properties. Long used in traditional medicines, castor oil can also stimulate hair growth and smoothen flaky skin. What else?!  
    Castor Oil Benefits For Hair & Skin1. Promotes healthy scalp and shiny hairUsing castor oil as a natural conditioner can provide intense moisturisation to dry and damaged hair. 
    Most people apply castor oil to their hair regularly. This helps in lubricating the hair shaft resulting in increased flexibility and less breakage. 
    If you experience dandruff, castor oil massage 2-3 times a week is the way to go. It helps in reducing inflammation and flaking by moisturising the scalp.  
    How to use castor oil for better hair growthMassage your scalp and hair with castor oil and brush with a comb to ensure even coverage. Put on a shower cap. After two hours, wash your hair with shampoo.

    2. Boosts eyelash & eyebrow densityMost people who have used castor oil on their lashes and brows have experienced its benefits. 
    There haven’t been many scientific studies that prove castor oil helps eyelash and eyebrow hair grow. But ricinoleic acid present in castor oil helps in reversing hair loss.
    How to use castor oil on your eyelashesWhile purchasing, make sure you’re buying pure castor oil and not the blended versions of it. 
    Out of its two varieties—cold-pressed and Jamaican black castor oil—go for the latter.
    Swatch it on your skin first. In case of no irritation, gently apply it to your lash line and brows using a cotton swab before going to bed. Wash it off in the morning with water.

    3. Helps in ridding moles and cystsTopical application of castor oil can help in dissolving cysts and corns as the fatty acid in it is easily absorbed by the skin. 
    How to use castor oil moles and cystsApply castor oil with a pinch of baking soda on the infected area.  
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1232__
    4. Heals & deeply moisturises skinApart from being a natural moisturiser, castor oil is also great for sensitive, acne-prone skin. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties help in soothing the skin and fighting bacteria that are responsible for acne. 
    How to use castor oil for smoother skinYou can apply castor oil twice a day on your elbows, knees and any other dry patches to seal the moisture. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1233__
    5. Treats dark circlesAssuming you don’t want dark circles under your beautiful eyes, we recommend the use of castor oil. 
    Omega-3 present in it hydrates the skin and stimulates healthy tissues which repair the discolouration of the skin. The antioxidants in castor oil protect the skin from the effects of free radicals. It also encourages the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.  
    How to use castor oil to fight against dark circlesThe easiest way is to apply 3-4 drops of castor oil directly on the dark circles under your eyes. Massage it for half a minute and leave the oil overnight. In the morning, wash it with normal water.
    For better results, you can always add a few drops of almond oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, mustard oil and milk to castor oil.  
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1234__
    Other Health Benefits Of Castor Oil ● Helps treat insomnia
    To induce sleep, rub castor oil along your eyelids before going to bed. 
    ● Increases immunity
    Castor oil strengthens the immune system by increasing white blood cells and the production of lymphocytes in the blood within hours of application. This helps the body to produce more antibodies.
    ● Boosts blood circulation
    Castor oil massage twice a week can improve blood circulation resulting in a smoother flow of oxygen into the cells. 
    ● Helps in digestion
    When taken orally, ricinoleic acid gets released in the intestine and starts its work as a laxative. The heat produced assists the body in the process of digestion and cleansing. 
    ● Helps in treating joint pain 
    Castor oil is known for its ability to treat arthritis. If you want to relieve joint pain, nerve inflammation or sore muscles, castor oil massage twice a week is ideal.

    If your skin feels irritated after applying castor oil, dilute it with a carrier oil such as coconut oil, grapeseed oil or almond oil. 

    As castor oil also has laxative properties, it may cause diarrhoea, cramps, vomiting and nausea when consumed in large quantities. 
    The Bottomline © iStock
    People have trusted castor oil for centuries. So if you’re looking for a reliable, affordable and multi-purpose oil for your daily needs, castor oil may be a smart choice. 

    You can even give your hair a nice castor oil massage before Holi colours hit your head.

    Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp suffered an outage in India and the rest of the world last night where many users were unable to send or receive messages, update their feed or upload any content for about an hour last night. As per Downdetector, the services went offline at 10:40 PM in India last night and lasted for about an hour. 
    © Twitter
    Facebook did give a reason as to why it happened in a statement saying  “Earlier today, a technical issue caused people to have trouble accessing some Facebook services. We resolved this issue for everyone, and we apologise for any inconvenience.”

    © Twitter_Animation on Fox
    The downtime was reported by 28,5000 users with Instagram and over 4,127 users were witnessing problems with WhatsApp according to Downdetector. However, that did not stop everyone from checking Twitter to find out whether it was only them who were suffering from the downtime and their reactions.

Solidarity to the folks working on the WhatsApp outage. People outside of the tech industry will never understand how weird it sounds when someone says that they are "looking forward to some weekend downtime,” the app posted on Twitter.
    What did you do when Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram were down last night? Did you switch to an alternative app for communicating and did you also flock to Twitter to check whether it was down for everyone else? Let us know in the comments about how you dealt with the outage.

    The iPhone for what it's worth does many things right and iOS 14 has now become more like Android, more than ever. While Apple might have reduced the gap between the two operating systems, there are still some features that we would like the iPhone to copy from flagship Android devices. These features include both hardware and software features that Apple should include in the next iPhone in 2021. 
    1. A Higher Refresh Rate Display  © denis-cherkashin-unsplash
    It has been long rumoured that Apple is looking to include a ProMotion display on the iPhone but we are yet to see that come to fruition. iPhones currently still use a 60Hz display which in many ways is archaic when compared to the current Android flagship phones. OnePlus, Samsung and Xiaomi have all started to use higher refresh rate panels for flagship models and its time Apple makes the move as well. Not only does it result in smoother scrolling and browsing experience, here will also be a noticeable difference in the overall gaming experience. 

    2. A Better Way To Manage Notifications  © Apple
    The one feature I cannot excuse anymore is the way iOS handles notifications. Currently, notifications feel very unorganised as compared to Android and sometimes even gives me anxiety.   Android also uses machine learning to auto-suggest actions to notifications which we haven't seen implemented in iOS yet. Even when it comes to managing notifications, the experience far inferior to Android 11 which often leads me to miss important notifications simply because of how iOS handles them. 

    3. Get Rid of The Lightning Port  © Youtube_EveyrthingApplePro
    USB-C has now become a global charging standard across the world for almost every device apart from the iPhone. Apple even uses the USB-C port for its MacBook and iPad lineup which makes the hesitance to change the port on the iPhone even more baffling. Apple has been known for streamlining its ecosystem in the past but as of now, it is a total mess. Switching to USB-C will not only make it compatible with other charging cables but also open up a range of accessories we can use with the iPhone. We can already see how companies are taking advantage of the USB-C port on the iPad lineup and we would like to something similar for the iPhone as well. 

    4. A Smaller Notch or No Notch At All © Everything Apple Pro
    Android devices have now moved to displays that come with a small punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera which leaves more room on the display for users. The notch on the iPhone is now quite dated and we would like to see at least a smaller notch on the next iPhone. The ideal situation would be that Apple users a similar design as the iPad Pro since the tablet does not have a notch and still manages to utilise FaceID as a form of biometric security. Apple can also use an in-display fingerprint scanner to bring back TouchID on the iPhone which has now come a long way over the years. 

    5. Always-on Display  © MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
    The last thing that we are yet to see on an iPhone is an always-on display. Every Android device that uses an AMOLED panel uses some form of an always-on display. This one feature can change the lives of iPhone users as it can give users relevant notifications on the screen without actually having to wake-up the display. This will let users decide better whether they want to pick up their phone or not and in turn reduce screen time as well. Right now, iPhone users have to wake up the phone’s screen each time if they want to see a notification.

    Jasprit Bumrah, who recently got married to TV presenter Sanjana Ganesan, in a small and private ceremony in Goa, has come under social media scrutiny after sharing a couple of pictures from the big night.
    Days after officially announcing his marriage, Bumrah shared a set of pictures in which he can be seen walking alongside his wife through a gateway of relatives standing on both sides with fuljhadis (sparklers) in their hands and a heavily smokey background.
    The last few days have been nothing short of absolutely magical! We are so grateful for all the love & wishes we’ve received. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/dhWH918Ytu
    — Jasprit Bumrah (@Jaspritbumrah93) March 19, 2021
    “The last few days have been nothing short of absolutely magical! We are so grateful for all the love & wishes we’ve received. Thank you,” Bumrah wrote in the caption while thanking his fans and the Indian cricket fraternity for showing their love and support towards the couple. However, the message held very little value based on the pictures he shared alongside.
    While the pollution created by all the fire-crackers seems excessive, one of Bumrah’s tweets from 2017 has resurfaced to haunt his social presence ever since he shared these pictures.
    Diwali celebration at home! Wishing everyone a very Happy and a prosperous Diwali!#saynotocrackers pic.twitter.com/koCbYkLJ4I
    — Jasprit Bumrah (@Jaspritbumrah93) October 19, 2017
    “Diwali celebration at home! Fireworks Wishing everyone a very Happy and a prosperous Diwali! #saynotocrackers (sic),” Bumrah had tweeted at Diwali 2017, encouraging his fans and followers to stop the usage of crackers on the Hindu festival because of the kind of adversities they bring to our environment.
    And even though it seems as if the pacer has forgotten his own message, the same fans, and followers he had taught the lesson to, remembered his words and dug up the past to ask some very valid questions.

    — Simon ↗️ (@ImRn45) March 19, 2021Sha₹me on you.. You preach Hindus not to burn crackers and then you do it for your wedding..
    What was so great about your wedding.. Be in your limits.. And better you keep your gyan in your mouth. No one is interested.. In any magic of your life
    — Sanatani Thakur (@SanggitaT) March 20, 2021My dog saw this first pic with crackers n he has been shaking ever since hiding in the closest 🥲
    — Dr Khushboo (@khushbookadri) March 19, 2021Bumrah took a leave of absence from his duties as a member of the Indian cricket team during the four-Test series against the touring England side and the BCCI officially announced his relief without a better justification than ‘personal reasons’.
    It was later confirmed by ANI that Bumrah had taken the vacation to get married in March and that he will not be returning to the team during the five T20I matches or the three ODIs that the Men in Blue would go on to play against Eoin Morgan and his team.
    The yorker-specialist will be back in action during the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League as a member of the Mumbai Indians squad.

    We have all had those days where all the T-shirts are in the laundry bin and even if one of them were clean, you just wouldn’t want to wear one. We get it, even your favourite graphic tees and seem boring sometimes. One might also call them too basic.

    That’s when a Henley shirt comes in light. 
    What Is A Henley?Essentially a collarless polo shirt, a henley shirt is a pullover shirt characterised by a round neckline and a 3 to 5 inches long placket with usually 3 to 5 buttons. 
    How does it make you look younger you ask? Well here’s the answer. The signature buttons on the front, though subtle but adds an element of detail to your garment, making you look polished. 
    Guys who wear henleys always appear to have an elevated sense of style when compared with your average guy, it is also a great option to show off your collar bones.
    Why Is It Called A Henley?Introduced essentially as an undergarment in the 1800s, the henley style of shirt transitioned into uniform for rowers in the English town of Henley-On-Thames. 
    Next time you wear a henley, feel cool about the nautical reference you're making.
    Give your basic tees rest and wear this versatile garment in 5 ways to look younger and stylish.
    1. Half-tuck & Blazer OnWant to hit the spot between casual and formal for an event or just a date night? Style a grey henley shirt with navy chinos and blazer. French-tuck (just from the front) it into your trousers, throw in your classic oxfords and you’re good to go.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1228__
    2. Old Blue JeansNothing says laid-back, carefree and young more than a white henley paired with your favourite pair of blue jeans. We say the dirtier, worn-out, the better because A- you’ll be comfortable and B- it has an effortless youthful appeal.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__341__
    3. Jacketed & Boots UpA jacket is henley’s best friend. Denim, corduroy or leather, choose your pick and style it with a solid black henley to keep it cool and punk. Though we suggest keeping your choice for jacket and footwear, leather Chelsea boots are one kind that are just as much of a versatile choice as a henley shirt.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1229__
    4. Modern Grandpa AppealKeep it all monotone with blues. Style a blue henley with a blue pair of trousers, preferably with a relaxed or baggy fit. Add in blue suspenders to manifest that modern grandpa appeal. But, here’s the twist. Instead of wearing them on your shoulder, let them hand on your legs, merely as accessories. 
    Finish the look with some brogues or espadrilles.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__340__
    5. Accessorising Is The KeyYou heard it, kids, accessorising is truly the key with a henley. Though with a bit of detail, it is simple enough to let your accessories stand out and shine. Whether it is a simple metal chain, blue beaded bracelet, a leather wristlet or a string of pearls, go crazy with jewellery.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1230__
    Here’s What We ThinkWearing a henley brings out the most natural good looks of the guys wearing them. Great to create a fashion statement or to keep it low-key chill, a henley shirt is truly versatile.
    Adding more to a guy’s *** appeal, there’s a reason why you spot it again and again on celebrities like Varun Dhawan, Shahid Kapoor, Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper. It might be time to add a few pieces to your wardrobe as well.

    Smartphone companies have done some great things to bring the industry forward but plenty have also done some shady things. While we might like to forget some of the dreadful things done in the past, we can’t ignore them, especially if history repeats itself. From controversial decisions to false marketing; here are five of the worst things smartphone companies have done in the past. 
    1. False Marketing © Huawei_Reddit
    Many smartphone companies have tried to pass off false marketing as the real deal for an upcoming product which was soon caught by people keeping a close watch. It all started with the Nokia Lumia 920 where one could see a video being shot by a DSLR. The video used for advertising the smartphone highlighted the smartphone’s OIS capabilities however soon enough people could spot a person in reflection using a DSLR instead. 

    Similarly, Huawei was also caught faking DSLR shots for its Nova 3 smartphone commercial. In the commercial, a couple is taking selfie shots however additional behind the scenes images surfaced online showing how the company faked the images claiming it was shot on the Nova 3. Huawei was caught for a second time when it presented a stock image of a volcano erupting as if it was captured using the P30 Pro’s camera. 
    2. Inserting Ads in Smartphones  © MensXP
    Xiaomi is the number one culprit here for serving its customers ads on the Redmi Note series of smartphones. These ads are so intrusive that many opt to flash the phone and install a different OS ROM to get around the problem. Ads in personal devices are quite intrusive, especially since most of the free apps on the smartphone are already plagued with ads. It ruins the overall experience and is one of the worst things a smartphone company can do. Other companies like Realme, Samsung and others have also started to advertise on their smartphones treating personal devices as some sort of a digital billboard. 

    3. Removing The Headphone Jack  © Youtube_UnboxTherapy
    While we may not complain about it today, removing the headphone hack on the iPhone 7 was quite controversial a few years ago. Apple's reasoning was a vague declaration of its 'courage' for innovation in the smartphone space however not many people were happy about it. While it may have worked out for the company in the long run, it was widely considered as one of the worst things done by a smartphone company in recent memory. Today, almost every flagship smartphone comes with a headphone jack in favour of better water resistance and wireless audio tech. 

    4. Cheating Benchmarks  © Realme
    Just last week, Realme was caught manipulating Antutu benchmark scores for the ‘Realme GT’ which led to the smartphone being banned on the platform for the next three months. Sadly, Realme is not the only culprit here since other companies such as OnePlus, Huawei, Honor, OPPO, Samsung and others have also been accused of manipulating benchmark scores in the past. Some companies even block benchmark apps on newly launched smartphones so that reviewers cannot run tests as it would reflect badly in review scores. 

    5. Heavy Discounting After Launch The one thing every Indian Android users knows is that smartphones often get heavily discounted soon after launch. Samsung is known for doing that with its flagship Galaxy smartphones and it often leaves a bad taste in the mouth of customers who purchased the smartphone on launch day. Android smartphones are known for losing value twice as fast as iPhones and there’s nothing you can do about it. However, we do advise waiting whenever a new Android device launches as it will probably get a heavy discount a few months later.

    The summers are almost here and we are already dreading what the harsh sun will do to our skin. 

    From causing premature aging to hyperpigmentation, sun exposure can have long lasting and drastic effects on our skin. However, this kind of sun damage can always be prevented. 
    Here’s an easy and convenient nighttime skincare routine for men that will help you reverse most of the damage and prevent further sun damage.
    After all, your skin deserves it! 
    Step 1: Cleanse It goes without saying that cleansing your face before bed is extremely important, especially if you’ve been out and about the entire day. Cleansing also ensures that all the products that you’re about to use get well absorbed into your skin. 
    Make sure to pick a face wash based on your skin type. The MensXP Mud Natural Face Wash has two variants. One for oily and combination skin and another for normal and dry skin. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__41__
    Step 2: Toner A toner helps in clearing and minimising pores. This face toner by Paul Penders is one of the best toners for men. It has a blend of 22 organic herbs and helps in replenishing the skin. It’s suitable for all skin types and helps in soothing and tightening the skin. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1226__
    Step 3: Night Serum A serum is a concentrated formula enriched with active ingredients that our skin needs but doesn’t always get. If aging is not an issue for your skin, you can use this Restorative Night Serum by Bare Air. It has Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C and Mulberry extracts. These ingredients help in hydrating and nourishing your skin overnight. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__308__
    If you’re a man in his late 20s, we recommend that you start using anti-aging products as a preventative measure for your skin. You can use this Retinol Serum by Mensome, or any other retinol serum of your choice. It helps in reducing fine lines, wrinkles and skin discolouration. It also causes the skin to be sensitive towards the sun, so make sure to use retinol during nighttime only.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__312__
    Step 4: Night Cream Hydration is extremely important if you want your skin to look and feel youthful. This night cream by Greenberry Organics is formulated using almond, peppermint, rose and lavender oils, which help in keeping the skin plump and hydrated. It also contains cocoa and shea butter, which help in regenerating and rejuvenating your skin while you get a good night’s rest. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1227__
    Step 5: Eye Cream The skin around our eyes is very sensitive and starts showing signs of aging earlier than other parts of our face. This is why it's important to use an eye cream after a long day of sun exposure. This particular Under Eye Recovery Gel by Fizzy Fern is highly rich in antioxidants. It helps in reducing fine lines, dark circles and puffiness. 
    Remember to be gentle while using this product. Dot it evenly around the eyes and massage gently until absorbed.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__607__
    The Bottomline This skincare routine can be followed by anyone who has to be out in the sun for long hours. Alongside practising this routine, also ensure that you are always wearing sunscreen. It’s important to not only treat sun damage but also to prevent further damage.
