    The Weeknd, whose chart-topping hit Blinding Lights had been widely acclaimed yet received zero Grammy nominations, recently announced that he would no longer let his label submit his work to the Grammys for consideration. “Because of the secret committees,” the artist told the New York Times.
    And he wasn’t the only one doing the calling out. Since the nominations were announced in November 2020, many artists have spoken up and demanded transparency.
    **** the grammys and everyone associated. Unless you shake hands and send gifts, there’s no nomination considerations. Next year I’ll send you a basket of confectionary.
    — zayn (@zaynmalik) March 9, 2021.@recordingacad are moving in inches and we need to move in miles. I’m keeping the pressure on & fighting for transparency & inclusion. We need to make sure we are honoring and celebrating “creative excellence” of ALL. End the secret committees. Until then ... #fuckthegrammys

    Never forget the Grammys didn’t give me my best new artist award when I had 7 songs simultaneously charting on billboard & bigger first week than any female rapper in the last decade- went on to inspire a generation. They gave it to the white man Bon Iver. #PinkFriday

    — ma city (@meramaze) March 14, 2021Most glaring was the fact that most of the categories where people of colour had been nominated had been announced during the premiere ceremony hosted on YouTube.
    Meanwhile, Bill Burr, an American stand-up comedian, decided to make everything worse by insensitive jokes such as wanting to “kill himself” after a piano performance and mispronouncing names at a supposedly global award show. Why the Recording Academy thought he should be presenting awards to people of colour is anyone’s guess.

    The South Korean group BTS were, no doubt, one of the most-anticipated and talked about acts as we came closer to the award ceremony. They headlined the Music on a Mission livestream by the Recording Academy’s affiliated charity MusiCares, and were nominated for “Best Pop Duo/Group”. Still, their category was relegated to the premiere ceremony and, despite all the build-up, they didn’t take home a much-deserved Grammy.

    don't get me wrong i am a fan of lady gaga! but the views says it all, and it's completely unfair! thank u pic.twitter.com/Fp2uI4kyH3
    — nebula (@prlvpjm) March 14, 2021During the main show, millions of fans bemoaned as another “Up Next: BTS” turned out to be a tease while they waited for the septet to perform, which finally happened right before the end of the show and second-last only to Roddy Rich.
    imagine being racist towards asians but also asking views from the fans of the asian artists that they robbed by letting them perform last and using their name every before commercial breaks lol couldn’t be anyone but grammy.
    — ً belle⁷is missing taehyung (@vantespies) March 15, 2021
    One would wonder, if BTS are huge enough to be teased every commercial break and expected to bring in the ratings the Grammys so desperately sought...
    The #GRAMMYs pre-show stream went from 1.2 million to 400K quick..
    — BIG REID (@BigReidRadio) March 14, 2021
    ...then surely a win for the minimum they were nominated for or even a nomination for “Album of the Year” or “Best Music Video” was guaranteed?
    I’ll end it here with this thread:

    It’s not every day that a South Asian actor not only gets the whole world talking for his acting prowess but also gets nominated for a freaking Oscar! Rizwan Ahmed, also known Riz MC, is an English actor of Pakistani origin and has created history for being the first Muslim and also the first actor from this side of the world who got nominated for an Oscar for his role in Sound Of Metal.  

    Initial YearsRiz hails from a family known for its rich roots back home. His parents moved to the UK from Karachi in the 70s and he belongs to the family of Sir Shah Muhammad Sulaiman, the first Muslim to become the Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court in the colonial era. Riz went on to study at the prestigious Christ College in Oxford University and after majoring in Economics and Philosophy, he finally studied the art of acting at an acting school. His acting career began back in 2006 with a powerful performance in The Road To Guantanamo, where he played a member of the Tipton Three. From 2007 to 2014, he was seen in many TV dramas where he became a famous TV face.

    Riz eventually started doing more serious work as meatier roles came his way. Some of his most notable works include The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Centurion and Four Lions.
    Music Career And Professional LifeRiz was always into music and even formed his own band back in his college days and was eventually recognised as a famous name in the rap world. His debut album Microscope was released in 2011 and his song Immigrants got him raking in good moolah on the Billboard chart, including a VMA award.

    After impressing people across the globe with his strong performances in Venom and Englistan, Riz broke more records as his work in Sound Of Metal actually echoed like crazy. The movie follows the story of a rock drummer who loses his hearing capacity and now, there’s not a single award ceremony where Riz has not been nominated for a ‘best actor’ award. He is currently the first Muslim in the world who has managed to bag this nomination and is also breaking barriers with this major inclusivity win.
    View this post on Instagram
    Personal & Public LifeRiz has used his fame and name for many wonderful causes and is a big advocate for speaking against prejudices and stereotypes that his community faces across the globe. He was also involved in raising funds for Syrian refugees and has raised his voice to educate people around the displacement of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. He has written articles on racial profiling as well. On the personal front, he is married to Fatima Farheen Mirza, who is an author of Indian descent. They met while he was preparing for his Oscar nominated role. Fatima’s debut novel, A Place For Us, was in fact a New York Times bestseller back in 2018.

    Here’s hoping that actors like Riz Ahmed break acting barriers, help the wheel of paradigm shift move forward, make award ceremonies open their doors for including actors from all parts of the world, and above all, continue doing some stellar work.

    Before you dive into your weight loss journey or another fad diet, it is important to know what is factually correct and what is outright wrong. And here are some popular nutrition myths that you might have come across but need to stop believing in immediately.

    Myth 1: Desi Ghee Makes you fat © Shutterstock
    One of the popular myths predominant in the health and fitness community is that desi ghee is not healthy and makes you fat. Desi ghee is one of the best sources of healthy fats which is rich in SCFA (Short-chain fatty acids) which enhances the digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Desi ghee also has a higher smoking point (around 252°C ) which makes it the best cooking medium. Rich in antioxidants, conjugated linoleic acid, and fat-soluble vitamins(Vitamin A, D, E, K) desi ghee is also healthy for your heart. It also helps balance your hormones and boost fertility in both men and women. Other benefits include nourishing your brain, joints, and skin, to boosting body energy.

    Irrespective of your fitness goal, age, and gender you can have around 2–4 tablespoons of desi ghee every day.
    Myth 2: Low-fat Dairy is healthy © Pexels
    Another misconception in the market and the weight loss industry is that high-fat dairy is bad for your heart’s health and leads to weight gain, and therefore you should go for low-fat dairy if you want to be healthy and lose weight.

    Since the companies and manufacturers remove fat from dairy products to make them low-fat, they add sugars and sodium in it to compensate for the lack of taste and make it more palatable. Hence, eliminating low-fat dairy from your cart would be a good step towards your health.
    Fats are really important and essential for the body's functioning and growth, since every single hormone in our body is synthesized from fats only. Therefore, eliminating fats from your diet would never be a good idea.
    Also, the common problems that you face like bloating, inflammation, etc would never be an issue again if you switch back to full-fat dairy.
    Myth 3: Carbs makes you fat © Unsplash
    Carbs alone can never make anyone fat. It is just the overconsumption of calories, be it from any source of nutrient whether it is from fats, protein, or carbs, that results in weight gain. 

    But if you are eating a well-balanced diet which consists of carbs, healthy fats, and protein according to your body calories requirement, you will be fit and healthy.
    Carbs are really important for your body as your brain operates on glucose which is derived from carbohydrates only. Hence, it’s not carbs but overconsumption of food and an unhealthy lifestyle that will make you gain weight and result in a hormone imbalance.
    That’s why you should choose healthy and whole carbs like whole grains, rice, oats, potatoes, millets, etc and try eliminating processed food from your diet.
    Myth 4: Avoid Gluten to Lose Weight © Unsplash
    Another trend that is quite popular nowadays is that you have to eliminate gluten to lose weight.

    FYI, gluten is another protein that is naturally found in certain cereal grains, such as wheat, barley, and rye.
    Therefore, for those who are suffering from celiac disease or gluten intolerance, eating food that contains gluten can be unfavorable. And people with these medical conditions have a fair and valid reason to avoid the plant protein, called gluten.
    But if you are someone who doesn't feel bad after eating your homemade Roti and doesn't have any medical issues, you have no reason to avoid gluten.
    Also going for a gluten-free diet doesn't lead to weight loss. If you are a healthy individual who just has some extra fat in their body, being in the state of a calorie deficit will help you reduce fat.
    Myth 5: Whey Protein is Not Healthy © Unsplash
    For the uninitiated, whey protein is a dietary supplement that is produced from milk only; the same cow milk which we have consumed growing up.

    The liquid that is left behind after cheese is processed, is called whey. This liquid is super rich in protein. However, that protein-rich liquid cannot be consumed directly since the liquid still has some amount of carbs and unwanted fats which are removed in order to obtain the lean source of protein.
    And thus, after the reduction process, whey protein supplement is extracted from the whey liquid, which is super rich in protein(contains all the 9 essential amino acids). A scoop of whey protein (around 30gms) mixed with water gives you a good 24–26g protein.
    Hence, whey protein is a dietary supplement that you can safely consume in order to meet your daily protein requirement goals conveniently.
    Also if you are someone who is vegan or lactose intolerant, then there are other protein supplements available as well like pea protein, soy protein, and vegan protein (a combination of brown rice and peas) which will give you a good 22–25g protein per scoop.
    The BottomlineThe Internet and social media are full of misleading claims about nutrition and health, thus it is better to be educated and aware of some myths so that you don't harm your health and can stick to your fitness goals.

    Saqib Saleem always leaves an impression on the audience whenever he appears on the big screen, and in the same way, when it comes to style too, he gets it right time and again. 

    From wearing pink shorts with huge pockets to making a statement at the airport in extravagant pieces, he's got the most replicable and relatable sense of style going.

    The main highlight though is the backpack that he is carrying here. 

    Even though the entire outfit is relaxed, the backpack, on the other hand, is quite eccentric and OTT, if you ask us. 
    This is Balenciaga's Explorer Graffiti Backpack. The bag plays to the extremes and is worked with a black background with vibrant and fluorescent graffiti.

    Of late, Sunny Singh has been dishing out some amazing style goals. From his heeled sneakers to the wind pants, it is safe to say that Sunny is no more a stranger in the fashion department.
    Most celebrities these days are getting rather experimental with their fits and have been working some regular AF clothes. 
    If we speak about Sunny, even he decks up in the simplest of clothing items and still, knows how to stand out with his pair of sneakers.

    Speaking of Sunny's outfit, he looks swell in his black oversized hoodie and track pants. Even though the ensemble is simple, the way he has worn the pants above his ankles brings all the focus to his sneakers. 

    Now, that's quite a brave style move, if you ask us.
    The Brands: © Adidas
    Sunny's sneakers are quite eccentric. These are the Adidas Originals Nite Jogger Shoes. 

    Nite Jogger debuted in 1980 when recreational running was becoming popular. 
    These shoes have reflective details and are made with a mix of nylon, mesh and leather, with wintry silver hues. Furthermore, the pair has boost cushioning that adds a responsive, energy-returning feel.
    The Price: © Viral Bhayani
    Sunny's outfit is perfect for a daytime stroll. What we love about it is how effortlessly casual and stylish it looks. 

    Add to that, his sneakers impressed us to the core as they took his basic ensemble to a whole new level. That's a dope way to go, Sunny. 
    On the work front, Sunny has started working for his upcoming release Adipurush alongside Kriti Sanon and Prabhas.

    Rajpal Yadav is one actor who doesn't need any introduction. In his career spanning over three decades, the actor has managed to entertain his audience with impeccable acting skills and gained recognition as an actor who is a master of comic timing. From comic roles to negative characters, Rajpal Yadav has done it all and made sure that no stereotypes bog him down and affect his passion for the craft. He turned 50 today and feels that he wants to stay away from social networking and spend quality with his family on his special day.
    View this post on Instagram
    In a recent interview with Indian Express, he reflected on his entire journey and how he has learnt from his mistakes. “If people wish to meet you or speak with you, you can say you are still relevant. I’m completing half-century of my life in 2021. I faced so many stepping stones. From 2000 to 2010, I got a chance to work in more than 100 movies. And I’ve learned from my mistakes. Now, I feel I’m reborn and aim at hitting more goals,” said Rajpal. 
    He has been seen time and again as an actor in the comic genre despite experimenting with other genres as well. Speaking about the same, he added, “I’m a very serious man in real life. I’m an observer. Only the one who’s satisfied in life can be funny. When you get to play 500 characters, you cannot feel categorized. There can only be one Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh, or Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon. Just that you need to pick characters that a child will enjoy, as much as an elderly, without making anyone uncomfortable. That’s the control you need to practice in this film industry, to abide by your ideologies. So many people offered me a role similar to Jungle. I told them what’s the point and they can copy-paste the same character. Even if I got to do less of such roles, I haven’t retired as yet. I’m still working in three shifts.”

    Things have changed in the cinema space but the actor believes that hurling abuses on the screen doesn’t make anyone a great actor and he won’t do it just to earn money. “We’ve been born and brought up in hinterland India where people keep abuses handy. But in the last 5-7 years, we see how one can earn money for abusing on screen. I don’t need to use bad language as a means of earning or for entertainment. Only 3 percent of the audience enjoy that, the remaining 97 percent still like Hum Aapke Hain Koun,” said the actor.
    Rajpal also mentioned when he started out, there were tags like that of a lead actor and a comedian. He added that things have changed over the last few years and today, it’s more about the character you play on the screen. “Everything happens at its time. For a true artiste, all that should matter is entertaining the masses. What we do in the reel isn’t our real side. So, it doesn’t matter if you play the lead, a supporting role, or a comedian. Overall, it is the age of entertainment. The reel is the illusion of reality, and this is the right time to live that illusion,” added the actor.

    Thanks to OTT platforms, actors have got more room to showcase their talent and Rajpal is now aiming to reach a larger audience as well. “All the films are tailor-made today. With the advent of OTT, we are being offered great roles. If a film like Chup Chup Ke is remembered by people of every generation, with the expansion of web space, I aim at reaching out to a wider audience,” said Yadav.
    In conclusion, he shared how Charlie Chaplin is his inspiration. “Charlie Chaplin is my friend. I can speak to him for hours. There cannot be a bigger friend of creativity. I’ll feel proud if my sorrows can turn into someone’s happiness,” Rajpal concluded.
    Rajpal surely has set an example for GenX.

    Everyone’s talking about it. NFT, which stands for non-fungible tokens, has seen a massive resurgence lately, with people parting with thousands and millions of dollars to boast digital ownership over certain pieces of art, memes, and even tweets through blockchain technology.
    Hopping on the train, Elon Musk recently tweeted, “I’m selling this song about NFTs as an NFT.”
    I’m selling this song about NFTs as an NFT pic.twitter.com/B4EZLlesPx
    — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 15, 2021
    The video features a techno track in the background, with a rotating trophy that has the words “NFT”, “Vanity Trophy”, “Computers”, and “HODL” (an acronym for Hold On for Dear Life) on it, besides other stuff like dogs and hands and the like… you know, general trophy stuff.

    And he might have already found a buyer in Beeple, a digital artist who’s sold quite a bit of NFT art of his own.
    i'll give you $69M for it. https://t.co/DMd4EEOGCZ
    — beeple (@beeple) March 15, 2021SOLD.
    — beeple (@beeple) March 16, 2021Hold up, what’s NFT?Some of you might be in the know already but if this is the first you’re hearing of it, allow me to introduce you to the internet’s latest obsession: NFT. Though it’s been here for a while, 2020 proved to be the year when NFT really came into the limelight and now it seems like all anyone can talk about.
    Basically, an NFT is a digital certificate that contains a string of data that allows you to prove ownership over a particular piece of work that exists only on the internet — like a meme, a video, a song, digital art, or even a tweet that went viral.

    Though it’s mined similarly, unlike cryptocurrency, it does not have a “fungible” value. That is, the value of an NFT cannot be interchanged with another NFT as each one is unique. Pretty similar to how original art and paintings sell for their perceived value in the market. And you can be sure, people are giving a lot of value to these NFTs.

    Sounds great! Where do I sign up?Hold on a second! Before you go traversing the murky waters of the NFT craze, you should know that all’s not rainbows and cat memes.
    For one, NFTs come with huge environmental costs, even by cryptocurrency standards. And if the well-being of our planet doesn’t scare you off, then the hidden “gas fees” they charge you for the computing energy it takes to validate transactions might.
    Plus, imagine claiming ownership to a meme or a picture that anyone can download with a click… Who knows how long the hype for this ownership may last?
