    Have you ever woken up with a bloated face after enjoying a night of binge meals at a party? Well, chances are that your body retained some water which made you feel bloated or gave you that puffy face.

    Water retention is quite a common issue that can occur at very regular intervals. A number of factors can cause it including diet, hormonal changes and genetics.
    And thanks to the extra water retained by your body, you will see a change in your weight too. Here are a few changes to your routine that can help reduce water retention in your body.
    1. Drink more water © Unsplash
    When we are dehydrated, our body thinks that it is running short of water and it helps itself by retaining whatever water is supplied to the body.

    And therefore, the best way to reduce water retention is by drinking more water, which will help your body be hydrated, retain less water and flush out excess toxins as well.
    This will also ensure that an abundant amount of water has been supplied to the body and hence, it doesn't have to worry about storing water.
    Apart from this, being hydrated is also good for your kidney and liver.
    2. Reduce salt intake © Unsplash
    The only reason why street food results in higher water retention compared to a wholesome homemade meal is the excessive amount of salt added to enhance the taste of the food.

    The excessive amount of salt (sodium chloride) is likely to put you in a state of water retention, as salt plays a major role in regulating hydration levels. If sodium levels are too low or too high, it will lead to imbalances within the body and therefore fluid retention.
    Hence, reduce and manage the amount of salt in your food a bit. However, don't go for a zero-salt diet as salt is essential for optimal body functioning and health.
    3. Add magnesium and potassium to your diet © Unsplash
    Both potassium and magnesium are really important minerals and play essential roles in various functions of the body. They also help in maintaining sodium levels in our body by balancing out the electrolytes, which improves the fluid distribution in the body.

    Hence, adding these two important minerals will help you reduce water retention. 
    Good sources of magnesium and potassium that you can add to your diet include the following:
    1.Dark chocolate
    2.Avocados
    3.Coconut Water
    4.Banana
    5.Dry fruits and seeds
    6.Kiwi
    7.Green and leafy vegetables.
    Also, keep in mind that you don't go overboard with their intake. Just strike and maintain the right balance by consuming these potassium and magnesium-rich food items.
    4 . Be Active © Unsplash
    By being active, you ensure that fluid regulation is taking place at its pace.

    Don't sit at a place for too long, move more, use stairs instead of elevators, have a call while walking, stand more and ensure that you are being active throughout the day. A step in this direction could be wearing a smartwatch/band and ensuring that you are walking a minimum of 8000 steps a day.
    Couple that with some good workouts that make you sweat and burn some calories and you won’t feel bloated.
    5. Don't consume processed and junk food © Unsplash
    Refined carbohydrates lead to a rapid spike in blood sugar and insulin levels, which can result in your body retaining more sodium which in turn leads to fluid imbalance and water retention.

    Bottomline
    These are some quick hacks/daily life changes that you can add to your routine to combat the issue of water retention, which can occur due to various factors listed above.
    If you still face the issue of water retention being persistent, consult your doctor who may prescribe some medications for the same.

    The skin-trend that emerged to be the winner in the latter half of 2020 and shall continue its reign in 2021, is definitely 'Skinimalism'. 
    It might seem bizarre at first but with no exact source to point at, broadly speaking, this trend came into the mainstream when social media users on Pinterest couldn't stop posting about it. 
    And you've probably guessed it by now, 'Skinimalism' can be loosely defined as embracing your natural skin with, sometimes, a touch of super-minimal makeup. 
    It's almost like an evolved version of the 'No-Makeup-Makeup-Look'.

    So, what makes this trend so desirable?

    In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic halted all our plans for the year as most of us were stuck at home amid the pandemic. 
    In the latter half of the year, when things started opening up, and people were finally stepping out, it didn't make sense to use makeup under a mask. 
    © iStock
    Amid these new-found struggles that we were all dealing with, this trend is like a blend of minimal makeup (think a touch of concealer, an emollient lip balm, and maybe a bit of colour correction) and consistent skincare together. 

    Wearing a mask, anyway, means that our skin requires more TLC than ever before to fight the pesky 'maskne' and other skin troubles. 
    A mix of skincare and minimal makeup subverts unrealistic beauty standards and attempts to be more skin-positive and who doesn't want more of that?

    Although this trend is relatively new, most Bollywood actors have always been following it. 

    We're especially talking about actors like Aditya Roy Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Ayushmann Khurana, and John Abraham. We know that these actors always use a hint of makeup before they step out. 
    In an interview with MensXP,  Aditya Roy Kapoor even went ahead and said that he has been applying "basic make-up for 15 odd years now."
    © iStock
    In fact, his skincare routine simply involves regular hydration and taking care of his skin. That is true for most other actors. 

    While some actors take it up a notch in films, like Ranveer Singh's look from Padmaavat to Ayushmann's look from Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan.

    However, what's common is how these men have never shied away from a combination of subtle makeup and skincare that enhances their facial structure and features. 

    These are all things that Skinimalism stands for too.

    The drama surrounding the British royal family has gripped the world so much so that even those who wouldn’t normally care have been weighing in and forming opinions. Just recently, Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah in a CBS Special had shook the world with bombshells after another.
    And though the wonder over the royals’ net worth is nothing new, many were left confused after Prince Harry revealed how they had ‘struggled financially after being financially cut off from the palace.’

    The confusion is easy to understand, with the amount of misinformation floating around about the couple. 

    “Aren’t they, like, super rich?”
    “Didn’t his mom and great-grandmother leave him a lot of money?”
    “Hadn’t they signed huge deals for millions of dollars with Netflix and Spotify?”
    © Getty Images
    Well, yes. Except for the part about his great-grandmother leaving him money in her inheritance (which is false, according to Forbes), all of this is true. But the catch is that, apparently, all those deals were made to help them with their financial and security worries and weren’t actually a part of the plan.

    "Our life is great now. We've got a beautiful house. We've got a - I've got a beautiful family. The dogs are really happy. But, at the time, during COVID, the suggestion by a friend was, 'What about streamers?'” Harry had said. "We hadn't thought about it. So, there were all sorts of different options. And, look, from my perspective, all I needed was enough money to be able to pay for security to keep my family safe."
    © misanharriman
    The couple is now estimated to have a joint net worth of $10 million according to a Forbes report, certainly far from the estimates of $25-40 million in 2019 for Harry alone.

    Their five-year Netflix deal is worth over $100 million and their three-year podcasting deal with Spotify could be anywhere between $15-18 million, however it’s unclear whether they have received any checks or advance for these yet. The couple also seem to be looking into public speaking engagements, represented by the Harry Walker Agency.
    As for Harry’s inheritance, he had reportedly received $10 million from his mother, Diana, without which he said they “would not have been able to do this.”

    Carl Pei’s new ‘Nothing’ company has unveiled its first product i.e. the ‘Concept 1’ that is expected to launch later this summer. The new TWS earbuds' design was shown off in a render that highlights the key design aspects of the upcoming product. The earbuds have been designed by Tom Howard, the company’s design head who is also the vice head of design at ‘Teenage Engineering’.
    © Nothing Design Concept
    What’s confusing about the reveal is that it is not an actual product at the moment and isn’t something that Nothing will launch anytime soon. “The same designs principles will be followed and there will be similarities to Concept 1, the end product will look different,” according to a statement given to The Verge. 

    © Nothing Design Concept
    Concept 1 however does look different from every other TWS that has launched in the recent past. Its marquee design feat being the transparent design for the casing of the TWS earbud that gives it a very raw look. The company says its design philosophy will focus on three aspects i.e. weightlessness, effortlessness, and timelessness. While the concept and the design inspiration sure does sound interesting, it would be more convincing if the company had an actual product that represents its claims. For now, we’ve only got a render to stare at which will serve as inspiration for the upcoming TWS earbuds design but will look different from the concept. Yeah, even we are wondering why the company chose to tease their design philosophy when they have nothing to show for it at the moment. 

    However, it seems Nothing is quite optimistic of their product as they said, “These are the principles that have guided our product design over the past several months. We look forward to show you how this comes to life through our first products this summer. That’s when the fun starts.”

    Chris Hemsworth has a seemingly busy schedule this year. 
    He is currently filming his 29th film with Marvel as a part of MCU. The film, Thor: Love And Thunder has now been slated for release in the year, May 2022. 
    Despite having a water-tight schedule, this week, he organised a 1980s-themed birthday party for his assistant, Aaron Grist.
    View this post on Instagram
    He even took his official Instagram account to post pictures from the party.  
    The 37-year-old Australian actor posted a sneak peek of his costume. He was seen wearing a white fitted vest, a pair of track pants from Adidas, and a pair of relatively worn-out trainers. He even added a pair of aviators and chunky gold jewellery.  
    To complete the look, he also wore the 18-carat rose-gold and navy 41mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak timepiece, which is a timepiece worth looking at.  
    The watch is priced at £74,000 which comes down to a whopping Rs 64,29,490. 
    Take a close look at the statement watch here:

    This particular timepiece called Royal Oak was first introduced back in 1972 and was designed by the iconic watch designer Gérald Genta, who, in his time, had worked with high-end watch manufacturers like IWC, Omega, and Patek Philippe prior to the gig with Audemars Piguet.  

    This watch, surprisingly, is considered one of the world’s first luxury sports watches and is definitely the first stainless-steel watch marketed at a luxury price point.  
    Its first-ever customer was Shah of Iran, a luxury connoisseur. This clearly justifies its high price point.  
    View this post on Instagram
    With a worthy history, the watch will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year.  
    Its sharp features include an octagonal porthole-inspired bezel and eight hexagonal screws, and a trademark dial featuring Piguet’s signature tapisserie pattern, and lastly, a bracelet with a double folding clasp. 
    The reason why it was perfect for the fancy-dress party for Hemsworth is that the timepiece saw growing popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and even the late Karl Lagerfeld owned an all-black version.  
    Currently, it is popular among celebrities like Jay-Z, LeBron James, Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott, Justin Bieber as well.

    Apple has been long rumoured to host an event later this month and it seems like the date may just have leaked. The leak comes from renowned Apple leaker Jon Prosser who has predicted accurate dates for Apple events and products in the recent past. This particular event is expected to be held on March 23rd and will feature new hardware. However, it is still unclear which products Apple may finally launch. Nonetheless, these are some of the products Apple is rumoured to launch later this month.

    Apple’s wireless earbuds do need a new design refresh especially since they have been using the same design for years with incremental upgrades. The new AirPods are expected to have a similar design as the AirPods Pro albeit without the ability to use active noise cancellation. The new AirPods are expected to have support for Dolby Atmos content and spatial audio as well. The new AirPods were expected to launch sometime in 2020, however it was probably delayed for the March announcement. There’s a very good chance we will get to see the new AirPods later this month according to recent leaks.

    2020 was a huge year for gaming and it seems like Apple wants a slice of that pie too. Apple has already rolled out services like Apple Arcade and it seems the company now wants a device that can play console-level games in people’s living rooms. Apart from being a streaming device, the new Apple TV is also expected to run games, thanks to an upgraded SoC for better performance. The new Apple TV is also expected to come with a new remote design since the earlier version was not loved by users universally.

    The new iPad Pro 2021 is probably going to be announced for Apple’s March Event just like last year and it is expected to look more or less the same as last year’s tablet. The housing is expected to be the same as the design works quite well for the tablet, however there is a good chance that it may come with thinner bezels. Apple may also upgrade the display technology on the new iPad Pro as there are rumours of mini-LED screens being used instead of the usual LCD screen. Rumours also suggest the iPad Pro is expected to come in an 11-inch and 12.9-inch model.

    We are yet to see an iPad mini with a new design since Apple launched the last model way back in 2019. A new iPad mini is due for a while and rumours suggest that the smaller iPad will take influence from the Pro lineup similar to the iPad Air 2020 design. The new iPad mini is expected to get rid of the thick bezels and the home button and instead use the same housing as the iPad Air albeit smaller. The tablet might come with a fingerprint sensor on the home button as well and have support for the Apple Pencil 2.

    Rajkummar Rao has a dapper sense of style - this is just a fact that has been established long ago. 
    Whether you speak of suiting up, wearing a trim Indian outfit, or going for basic street outfits, the man knows how to turn heads.
    © Instagram/anishajain
    Very recently, he was seen at the Mumbai Airport with Patralekha, in a dope-looking outfit, that showed us why people who are even a little bit into fashion and style, follow him religiously.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Rajkummar Rao was seen wearing a not-so-basic T-shirt, with a pair of light washed denims and a pair of white trainers. On the surface, this seemed like a very basic, and functional outfit.
    © Viral Bhayani
    However, upon looking closely at his outfit, one will realise that it was anything but basic.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Rajkummar was seen wearing a rather suave looking, pink coloured T-shirt from Dior Homme, the menswear division of Christian Dior. 

    The T-shirt itself was a great statement piece because of the motifs and the imagery that it carried.
    © Viral Bhayani
    The pink T-shirt had some really cool floral motifs, and silver coloured branding. It also had a humanoid as a motif, posing in a form taken from ballet. 

    The T-Shirt is actually the result of a collaboration between Dior & Hajime Sorayama, a Japanese illustrator. 
    © Dior Homme
    Called the Dior X Sorayama Robot Logo Printed T-Shirt, the piece is as pricey as it is cool. The T-shirt is listed for $715, or roughly Rs 55,000. That’s how cool and dapper it is.
    © Viral Bhayani
    We also like the basic and simple light washed denim he has gone for the outfit. The colour combo, sort of sits harmoniously, with what Patralekha was wearing. 

    It may not be exactly a twinning outfit, but it sure was a couple-dressing goal.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Then there are the sneakers that Rajkummar is wearing. The white chunky sneakers actually look very basic and seem like they are from some off-brand line, and therefore would be cheap. 

    That’s not actually the case though.
    © Prada
    Rajkummar’s wearing a sick-looking pair of nylon trainers from Prada. Called the Prada Nylon Tech Trainer Sneaker in White, this is as exquisite as sneakers get.
    © Viral Bhayani
    The sneaker uses the highest grade of nylon tech fabric, and calfskin leather to make the sneakers. And of course, you get the iconic red Prada Linea Rossa stripe on the tongue and sole.
    © Viral Bhayani
    The sneakers used to retail for about $600 when they were new. That’s about Rs 45,000 in today’s money, which is actually a lot for a pair of coke white sneakers.
    © Viral Bhayani
    But then, that’s Prada for you. As for Rajkummar’s outfit, that’s one heck of a way to style a basic outfit. Kudos Rajkummar, that’s a job well done indeed

    Virat Kohli has transformed India's Test team after taking over the reins from MS Dhoni. While India's limited-overs team was a high-performing unit under Mahi, the Test team was fairly inconsistent especially during the last five years of his tenure. Kohli, however, has not just brought in a touch of consistency but also intensity that teams have often found too hot to handle. In doing so, he's raked up seriously impressive numbers to make a legit claim for India's greatest leader in whites.
    We worked really hard for this, happy to be in the finals. Looking forward. #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/cTzFkVheRl
    — Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) March 6, 2021
    With Dhoni having shaped the team and its mindset for such a long time, it probably wasn't easy for Kohli to step into the shoes of such a colossus. Kohli has often stated in his interviews how he set the team a vision for playing Test cricket a certain way. With his single-minded focus at improving India's fortunes in Test cricket, especially abroad, Kohli set certain rules and expectations of his colleagues.
    "Virat wanted work ethic, fitness, high fielding standards and trust within the system and also get rid of excuses that this is not right and that went wrong etc etc," revealed India head coach Ravi Shastri during a media interaction post the 4th and final Test against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
    Shastri, who has become one of the most successful coaches of the Indian cricket team, said man-management was among the most important lessons he picked up after taking over from Anil Kumble as boss. Often mocked and memed by fans, Shastri has been a key architect of this Indian team's rise.

    — BCCI (@BCCI) March 7, 2021
    "I didn't know what to expect when I first took up the job. But what I have learnt in the last six years, I haven't in the past 35 years (as a player and commentator). Man management is the most important thing. More important is to understand human behaviour, their instincts, mindsets. How someone reacts to failure, how someone reacts to success, when to talk, whom to talk and whom not to talk," he added.
    With India clinching its spot in the ICC World Test Championship final after a 3-1 series win over England, it would be fair to suggest that Kohli has accomplished the vision he set out to achieve. With back-to-back wins over Australia and England, India will go into the finals with an edge over New Zealand.

    “We are relieved that now we have made it to the final,” Kohli told BCCI TV after India's crushing win over England in the 4th Test at Ahmedabad.
    “Probably if you look at the last two-and-half years how we have played, we deserve to be in that final. Now it’s just about getting together as a group again and focusing on that one big game which is quite exciting for all of us,” he added.
    The WTC final will be played at Southampton between June 18 and 22. However, if Kohli will be at the WTC final, who will lead India at the Asia Cup?

    The trailer of Anand Gandhi’s new project, OK Computer has finally been released and it gives us a sneak-peek into its unconventional science fiction story. 
    The web show stars Radhika Apte, Jackie Shroff, and Vijay Varma in lead roles. 
    The show is set in the year 2031 and at the beginning of the trailer, a voice says, "Welcome to the future". 
    In the trailer, someone is killed in a car accident and the prime suspect is a self-driving taxi which also crashes. The police are trying their best to find the one responsible, but find several obstacles that are keeping them from catching the murderer. 
    Check out the trailer here-

    In the series, Vijay Varma plays the role of a cyber cell agent helping the cops to solve the mystery. 

    Radhika is working with a private organization named PETER that works for the ethical treatment of robots and also believes that AI is not capable of harming human beings.
    Jackie Shroff makes an appearance in a weird getup and claims to be the murderer and blames technology for the chaos. Clearly, the show focuses on two ideologies: for and against technology.
    The series will release on 26th March and is directed by Ship of Theseus fame Anand Gandhi.

    “ Here’s a thought worth chewing on: We are closer to 2030 than we are to 2010. OK, Computer is an attempt to imagine a world of our near-future together, and laugh out loud while we are at it. The show asks one of the biggest questions of this century - if AI commits a crime, who should be culpable?" Gandhi said in a statement. 

    He added, "It asks this question with madcap humour, zany characters, and a rollercoaster epic story. It's been my privilege to offer unprecedented stories to Indian audiences - OK Computer, like my previous work, is a small step in a completely new direction. I hope it opens up the floodgates for science fiction entertainment in India.”
