    In another inspiring story with a shining example of breaking the glass ceiling, a transgender person in Bangladesh debuted on national television for the first time as a news reporter.

    Tashnuva Anan Shishir delivered a three-minute news bulletin on the private Boishakhi TV channel. 
    Shishir says she discovered in her early teens that she was trapped inside a man’s body and was later sexually assaulted and bullied for years.

    She said, “The bullying was so unbearable I attempted suicide four times. My father stopped talking to me for years.”

    “When I couldn’t cope with it anymore, I left home… I couldn’t stand the neighbours telling my father about how I should act or walk in a masculine way,” she added.
    She expressed that she fled from her home and lived alone in the capital of Dhaka and also lived in the central city of Narayanganj.

    There, she also underwent hormone therapy, changed many jobs and worked for charities, and also acted in theatres. She did all this while she was studying for her studies.

    In January, she also became the first person to study for a Master’s in Public Health at the James P Grant School of Public Health in Dhaka.
    Shishir’s broadcast on Monday was for International Women’s Day. Shishir said that she went for auditions on other channels as well but only Boishakhi was brave enough to hire her for the job.

    “I tried to think of stage dramas I’ve performed in and follow the techniques I’ve learned there. But I was shaking inside,” she said.

    “I don’t want any members of the (transgender) community to suffer. I don’t want them to live a miserable life. I hope they will find work according to their skills,” she added.
    This is a great step towards change for the transgender community across the world and especially, in South Asia.

    A new feature has been discovered in iOS14.5 beta where your iPhone will warn you if there is an unknown item travelling with you. The unknown item can be tracked via the Find My app that is used for tracking devices tied with your AppleID. However, rumours have suggested that Apple is looking to launch trackers in the near future which will be tracked via the Find My app and this new feature has something to do with the upcoming devices.

    It was discovered in the beta version of iOS 14.5 that there is now a new menu in the Find MY app called ‘Item Safety Alerts’. This has been included so that it will notify iPhone users about unwanted devices like the AirTags being used to stalk them." According to iOS developer Benjamin Mayo, "If someone secretly hides a tag in your possessions, your phone will notice and warn you about it. The setting is on by default which makes sense, but the fact you can turn it off at all probably means that this fires false positive alerts in some circumstances.”

    Something I hadn’t considered before: new beta includes a Item Safety setting in Find My. This is how Apple is trying to prevent 'stalking' with AirTags. If someone secretly hides a tag in your possessions, your phone will notice and warn you about it. pic.twitter.com/NVJyAZlthw

    Users who opt to turn off this feature will be given an additional warning stating that the owner of an unknown tracking item will be able to see their location and they will no longer get a notification when the unknown item is found moving with them.  Apple is yet to make the AirTag official, however previous rumours have shown off screenshots of how the new product will work. These trackers are small keychain-sized devices that can be attached to just about everything. If this item with an AirTag is misplaced, Apple users can search for the item in “Lost Mode.” If another iPhone user comes close to the item, it will automatically ping the location of the lost device to your iPhone and even display the content information for the item’s owner. The person who finds the item can contact them via phone or SMS.

    Apple is expected to announce a new set of devices later this month but no official date has been confirmed by the Cupertino giant yet. We should know more about AirTags later this month once it has been made official.

    Ben Stokes' heroics in the 4th India-England Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad were applauded by cricket fans across the globe. The all-rounder, often touted as the best in the world, left nothing in the tank as he bowled his heart out in trying conditions. Despite the best efforts of Stokes and Jimmy Anderson, the visitors couldn't prevent another crushing defeat at the hands of Virat Kohli's men, who romped home to a 3-1 series win and sealed their spot in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand.

    One of the words used by Harsha Bhogle in commentary during Stokes' gladiatorial spell was 'spent.' The veteran cricket commentator alluded to how Stokes was producing a high-class bowling performance despite the visible exhaustion. The 29-year-old has now revealed that was a direct reflection of astonishing weight loss suffered by him and his teammates during the Ahmedabad Test.

    The searing Gujarat heat made matters worse for some England cricketers who caught a sickness bug in the run-up to the final Test with the series at 2-1 in favour of India. While none of Joe Root's men missed the Test, they certainly found the going tougher than usual.
    While Stokes lost 5kg during the week, his teammates too endured a massive weight loss.
    "Players are totally committed to England and I think that was emphasised last week when a few of us went down with illness that made operating in 41-degree heat particularly taxing. I lost 5kg in a week, Dom Sibley 4kg and Jimmy Anderson 3kg, among others. Jack Leach was ducking off the field in between bowling spells and spending more time than is ideal in the toilet," Stokes told Mirror Sport in an exclusive interview.
    Despite the astonishing weight loss, Stokes stood out as the best England player during the 4th Test, making significant contributions in all three departments. More impressively, Stokes accounted for 27.4 overs in England's bowling, twice more than what he'd bowled in the previous three Tests. Apart from picking up four wickets, Stokes also scored a brilliant fifty.

    On Day 1, Stokes and Kohli were involved in a war of words after the former had reportedly abused India pacer Mohammed Siraj following a bouncer.

    When asked about the incident, Stokes played it down saying, "The thing in cricket nowadays is that it becomes a massive talking point when two opponents have a word with each other. People seem, I do not know, not to lose their heads but they think it is all wrong."

    High-street labels always have a way of taking things to the extreme. 
    Other than wearable silhouettes, some brands often go for bizarre, eye-brow-raising artefact-like silhouettes that are sometimes not wearable either. 
    From extremely long jeans to a denim jacket with humongous sleeves, they seem to have 'invented' them all in the last few years.

    Recently, we had another such weird sneaker silhouette introduced in the market. 

    Balenciaga just dropped a pair of sneakers that’s made entirely of metal. 
    The French luxury fashion house just introduced the ‘Track Sculpture,' an outlandish sneaker silhouette made of metal, which looks exactly like their iconic Track 2 sneaker silhouette in size 41.

    Made in Italy, the brand's weird new offering will be tough to fit into even if you try. That's because the metallic sneaker is made by soldering 16 moulded pieces together and it’s so heavy that walking in them would not be easy. 

    In fact, your feet might even get bruised just by slipping into these sneakers. These are unwearable but look good from afar.

    So, if they're not meant for wearing, why has Balenciaga come up with literal metallic sneakers? Apparently, they can be great decor pieces according to Balenciaga.  

    “Part of a lineage of objects d’art that recontextualises everyday products, the palladium, and brass sculpture is a cross between a bronzed baby shoe keepsake and a Dadaist Readymade, transforming the functional Balenciaga sneaker into an inflexible solid”, said a spokesperson for the brand. 
    This metallic sneaker is not like your regular home decor item. It's priced at  $5250 which comes down to a whopping Rs 3,83,900 approximately.
    If you plan to get one, you should probably hurry, they're a limited edition product with only 16 products that have been made, so far. 
    Currently, the metal sneakers are available on Balenciaga’s official website and even in their stores in Madison Avenue or North Rodeo Drive storefronts in the US.

    However, if you just want to stick to the Track 2 sneakers, you could get the OGs from Farfetch, one of the variants costs 914 dollars but is currently on sale and comes down to 640 Dollars which Rs 46,800 approximately. 

    They're practically the same design, sans the metal part.
