    The Nintendo Switch Pro is rumoured to launch sometime this year and we’ve been following the rumour grapevine to know more about the upcoming console. There are some rumoured upgrades that we can’t wait for to become true while some upgrades that remain a dream right now. There have been various rumours suggesting the next Nintendo Switch will be a bit more than an incremental upgrade.
    Personally, I’ve been a Switch user ever since it launched but over the years I’ve been wanting certain upgrades for the past few years. Here are some of the upgrades that I would like to see on the next Nintendo Switch 
    1. Better Battery Life © pexels-lisa-fotios
    Currently, the Nintendo Switch cannot last longer than 4-5 hours on a single charge which is not really ideal for a portable gaming system. With an upgraded SoC, there is a good chance that the next Nintendo Switch might deliver slightly more power backup in line with modern smartphones. 

    2. More Internal Storage  © pexels-lucie-liz
    The current Nintendo Switch only comes with 32GB of internal storage which makes the system look quite archaic. Today we have smartphones that come up to 512GB of internal storage and it wouldn’t hurt to see a little more room for users to store their games. 128GB of internal storage would be ideal especially since we can expand it via the microSD card slot up to 1TB.

    We will have to make comparisons with modern smartphones as both devices more or less use the same architecture and components. Currently, the Switch has a 720p display but an upgraded 1080p display would change the experience drastically for Nintendo Switch users. Even budget smartphones today use 1080p displays which aren’t too expensive as compared to display units from four years ago. Rumours suggest the Switch pro will have an AMOLED display which also makes it possible to have a higher resolution display as AMOLED screens are slightly more power-efficient than LCD displays. 

    4. No More Drifting Joy-Cons © nathan-mullet-unsplash
    The Joy-Con controllers have been plagued with the drift issue from the very first day of launch and it’s high time Nintendo addresses this issue with the newer model. Nintendo has even faced multiple lawsuits over the issue which only means Nintendo needs to do better. The Joy-Cons are also quite cheaply made and it wouldn’t really be a ‘Pro’ model if no premium materials are used for the build quality of the new Joy-Cons. 

    5. 4K Gaming  © erik-mclean-unsplash
    This isn’t really a necessity simply because Nintendo games look fantastic even on 1080p resolution. However, it has been rumoured that the next Switch will be able to upscale games and content to 4K resolution while being used in docked mode. This comes particularly handy especially since 4K TVs have now become mainstream. 4K TVs are now relatively affordable as well and are now the key focus of other gaming companies like Sony, Xbox, and Nvidia. Rumours suggest Nvidia is making an upgrade to the Tegra SoC for the new Switch which will have the ability to upscale content to 4K resolution.

    They say age is just a number. As a statement, it is perhaps the most controversial of them all, as there can be numerous interpretations of the same. However, irrespective of them, aging is a beautiful thing that all of us must embrace. It just means that time has been kind enough to bless us with more wisdom, more experience, and being more in touch with our own self. However, not everyone may look at it that way, as aging means letting go of one's youth.

    via GIPHY
    Looking at it objectively, perhaps being young has its own set of advantages, that trump being old, in the strength and aesthetic domains. However, do these things come with an expiry date that's set in stone? Is there a set rule that states that one can't be strong and look great when they are 50? We disagree. Here's the picture of a gentleman who's 55 years old.

    Okay, he perhaps is an outlier as not everyone can aspire to look 25 when they're 55, but it is possible to look (and feel) substantially younger than your actual age if only a few things are taken care of on a regular basis.

    via GIPHY
    Here are 5 things to do daily, that will make you look 5 years younger in 5 months. And no, we aren't joking and it's absolutely possible. 5 months count as a lot of time, if you're following the correct self-care regime. Try this for 5 months, every single day, and you'll come back to thank us.
    1. Let's start with the easiest one, shall we? Use a moisturiser and a sunscreen. Yes, it's that simple. As we age, our skin needs extra attention to maintain its smoothness and suppleness, so a moisturiser is indispensable. Also, since we Indian men are exposed to extreme seasonal sun exposure, a sunscreen will ensure your skin doesn't go through sun damage, which frankly, can be terrible. Also, your face is the first thing people see, so!

    via GIPHY
    2. You know what's the next best thing to having flawless skin? Flawless hair and beard. Now, we'll come to the health bit, but it's not very difficult to look younger with figuring out which hair and beard style flatter your face more. It's subjective, really. Some people can look a decade younger by letting go of their scraggly beard or even getting a sharp trim, while others can just slice off 5 years by getting a sharp fade. So please do the trimming and shaving and taking care of the stray edges every day before you step out, and schedule a salon appointment every other week. Trust us, it's a game changer.

    via GIPHY
    3. This perhaps is the most obvious one. EXERCISE! You probably hate us for saying this, but trust us fam, nothing works better when it comes to looking younger. We care for you and hence we're spitting facts here. Start with the minimal if you aren't used to it, say 50 pushups and 50 squats a day, or a bit of Yoga, or dancing, anything that makes you move your body and exert. It will eventually get better and you'll end up being fitter and looking younger.

    via GIPHY
    4. Eat more protein. Does this sound random? Perhaps, but hear us out. What you eat is almost entirely responsible for how you look. Protein is the building block of muscles, and we look older by gaining more fat, essentially by eating more of other macronutrients, especially Carbohydrates in excess instead and that gets stored as fat when not in use. Eating excessive protein will also eventually lead to fat gain but that is harder to do than eating carbs. Also, since you'd be exercising, you'll need more protein for recovery and muscle growth. Plus protein keeps you full for longer and that would mean you'd perhaps lay off from that third helping of fries you've been eying? On a serious note, if you've joined a gym or are leading an extremely active lifestyle and want best results, you should consume about 1.6 to 2 gms of protein per kg of your body weight.

    via GIPHY
    5. Since these two are perhaps the only ones that can be counted as no-brainers, we're putting them together: drink enough water and get enough sleep. Yes, it's just as simple.
    Start your day with at least half a litre of water (you can consider having lukewarm water for added benefits of digestion and a soothed gut, but no it doesn't help in fat loss as most people think), and make a schedule of drinking water throughout the day if thirst is something that doesn't occur to you naturally on regular intervals.

    via GIPHY
    Also, try to get 8 hours of sleep. Yes it's one-third of your life and it's not fair, but such is life. You don't want those dark circles, bad skin, and overall irritability.


    via GIPHY
    Try these little things every single day for the next 5 months, and you'll come back to thank us. All the best!

    Normally, we won’t see Riteish Deshmukh wearing something jaw-droppingly bizarre or out of this world. He dresses up in a rather simple, but quite stylish manner.

    However, that is not to say that the man can’t turn heads. 

    On the contrary, he is known to push the stylistic envelope beyond boundaries, from time to time. 
    © Instagram/riteishd
    It may be hard to fathom for some people, but Riteish too is a bonafide sneakerhead and has been seen in some of the most whacked-out and quirky sneakers. 

    There was this instance, for example, when he was spotted wearing a dope looking pair of 'Emoji' Sneakers.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Well, very recently, he was spotted wearing a pair of slip-on loafers that were as whacky as those Emoji sneakers.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Riteish was seen in a pair of graffiti or doodle sneakers that would make even Banksy, the famous, underground artist, envious of his shoes.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Riteish was seen at Aalim Hakim’s Studio in Mumbai, getting a sweet-looking haircut. He was dressed in a very basic, but dapper-looking printed T-shirt and a pair of denim.

    © Viral Bhayani
    His slip-ons though were on fire.

    It looks like whoever made those sneakers, repurposed a sweet looking laptop sleeve. 
    © DSquared2
    If you look closely, you’ll see that the motifs used on the bag and loafers are exactly the same. The placement of graphics, the logos, and the captions, all of them, are exactly the same.

    © Viral Bhayani
    The bag that spawned this pair was originally from DSquared2, which retailed for about $345, or roughly Rs 25,000, and it looked quirky AF on its own.

    © DSquared2
    The bag, and therefore the slip-ons that Riteish is wearing have a very zany set of doodles. The digitally-printed doodles seem to be inspired by some of Banksy’s best known graffitis.

    © Viral Bhayani
    If the sleeve has indeed been repurposed and made into a pair of slip-ons, then we have to say that this was a great step towards sustainability. 

    © Viral Bhayani
    Given that fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world, it only makes sense that the celebrities and fashion icons, who inspire our style choices, go for sustainably-made, and environmentally-responsible pieces.

    © Viral Bhayani
    All in all, that’s one dapper looking pair of slip-ons. The fact that it is a sustainable and responsibly-made piece is the cherry on top. 

    Kudos, Riteish. Well Done.

    Aly Goni became a big hit after Bigg Boss 14, and now, he is not just known for his stint on the show but also consistently sits on top of the fashion charts. 

    Apart from being a fashion enthusiast, Goni is also a sneakerhead, who has been wearing some outstanding pair of sneakers of late. 
    Be it on the reality show or him casually strutting around, he does know what suits his feet the best.

    For this look, in particular, he steered clear of wearing chunky sneakers and rather opted for a pair of chappals, or rather flip flops. The neon pair is Superdry's City Neon Pool Slides.

    If you’ve had enough Zoom meetings for the day and just wanted to leave the next call but don’t have an excuse, this app has your back. Meet Zoom Escaper, a free widget that lets you add fake audio sounds to your call so that you have a valid excuse to leave an online meeting and escape. 
    © Zoom-Escaper
    There are several sounds you can choose from such as barking dogs, construction noise, crying babies or even bad connection sounds so that you can leave the call without having anyone suspect you. The app has been created by Sam Lavigne and is quite easy to use. All you need to do is download an additional audio software call VB-Audio that can route audio through the website. You just need to select audio input in Zoom or any other online meeting client from your microphone to VB-Audio and then play the audio effects. If you need a more visual tutorial, have a look at the video below:


    It is worth pointing out that while using Zoom Escaper, you can’t really hear the sound effects yourself but it works. You can test it out for yourself by getting on a call with a friend or adding two of your accounts on different devices to see how it works. Other sounds you can play around with are Man Weeping, Urination, Wind Blowing, Echo, Barking Dogs, and Upset Baby. Probably the bad connection and upset baby sounds are most convincing, however you need people on the other side of the call to believe that you have a baby.

    Needless to say, we advise using the app at your own risk and test it out before you actually try to pull this off. Having said that, I will be using this app today in one of my meetings today as I have some annoying video calls lined up and I really don’t want to attend them. If you end up using this app in one of your calls, do let us know if it worked for you. If you were able to successfully escape an online meeting, let us know in the comments how you went about it and which audio preset you opted to use.
