    “I think possessions kinda weigh you down,” said multi-billionaire Elon Musk when talking to Joe Rogan.  
    And since, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has been rapidly selling his properties to rid himself of material possessions.

    Caption: Elon Musk on the Joe Rogan Experience.

    It all started on the first of May, 2020, when he tweeted, “I am selling almost all physical possessions,” further clarifying that he “will own no house.”
    I am selling almost all physical possessions. Will own no house.
    — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 1, 2020
    And he has made good on that promise. 

    Musk, who had then owned a real estate portfolio of about $114 million, is now left with one house, near San Jose in Northern California — listed for $35 million in the market.
    And if you’re as curious as we are about this as we were, then here’s all you need to know about the houses he has sold in his mission to “own no house”:
    1. Gene Wilder’s Estate- The 'Quirky House' Of The Willy Wonka Actor  © zillow
    Yes, one of his six Bel Air properties, Elon Musk had indeed owned the home of the late actor Gene Wilders, which he had bought in 2013 to “preserve the spirit of Gene Wilder”.  

    Though he never lived in the house, he had used it as a private school—named AdAstra—for his children and children of some of the top SpaceX and Tesla employees. 
    And while selling the house, he had been clear that the buyer must not harm the house’s “soul” or tear it down. 
    Just one stipulation on sale: I own Gene Wilder’s old house. It cannot be torn down or lose any its soul.
    — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 1, 2020
    Soon, it was revealed that he had sold the former Wilder estate to Elizabeth Hunter, the wife of Wilder’s nephew Jordan Walker-Perlman, for $7 million in an off-market deal.  
    And, apparently, he lent as much as $6.7 million to help them buy the property too. 
    2. His First Sale And Largest Bel-Air Mansion For $29 Million  © zillow
    This 20,000-square-foot property was the beginning of it all, the first and the largest of his Bel Air estates to go after he had declared his intentions to the world. 

    With seven bedrooms and thirteen bathrooms, the property had been up for sale with an asking price of $30 million and had sold for $29.72 million to Chinese billionaire William Ding, which is reportedly about $5.5 million more than what he paid when buying it in 2016.
    3. The 4 Bel Air Properties That Came As A Packaged Deal © zillow
    In a Zillow listing, the four of his remaining properties in Bel Air had a combined asking price of $62.5 million and a fancy description to go with: “A project for the big thinker, designed to showcase one of the best views in Los Angeles - from the city to the ocean and beyond.”

    The properties, all vastly different in architecture and their individual worth ranging between $4 million to $30 million, made him a profit of about $6.8 million, going for $61.8 million combined.
    4. The Precursor: The Brentwood Property Sold In 2019 © realtor
    Way before the public declaration of his intentions, Musk had already sold a 0.28-acre modern home in Brentwood in August 2019 for $3.9 million. 

    Only about 20 minutes away from his six former Chalon-Somera properties, the property had reportedly cost Musk about $3.7 million in 2014.
    5. The Last One Standing © realtor
    Now, after almost a year of shedding his material baggage, it has all come down to one huge 100-year-old mansion near San Jose. 

    The Hillsborough estate is built on 47 acres of land, with 9 bedrooms, 9.5 baths, and just about anything you could imagine including hiking trails, canyons, a ballroom, and a reservoir. 
    Originally listed for $35 million in May 2020, it seems he has taken down the listing for now. Still, it looks like there is every possibility that the property will be relisted and Musk will complete his quest to rid himself of all his real estate assets. 
    “Freedom,” Elon Musk had tweeted. And well… if this is freedom, I think I would quite like the other end of things instead, thank you very much.
    Freedom
    — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 2, 2020
    But more power to you, a wealthy billionaire with more than enough money to easily buy a new home or several anytime he wants. It’s the thought that counts, I suppose?

    The number of bizarre things that happen each day is reaching a new level of insane, and one incident, in particular, that we came across recently was the most bizarre of them all.

    In this advanced world of technology, finding a partner on dating apps has now become quite common. But, not for one woman, who was seeing four different men at the same time.

    In an unusual event, Uttar Pradesh's Ambedkarnagar had to carry out a lucky draw system for this woman who had fled with four youths, according to several reports.

    The panchayat had to take such unwonted measures as the woman found it difficult to find the right soulmate for herself amongst the four men she was dating.
    © iStock
    The whole situation took place when the woman allegedly decided to elope with four men and stayed at her relative's house with one of them. 

    The family, after finding their daughter, was convinced to file a complaint against the four youths. 
    This was the time when the panchayat intervened and came up with an unconventional method of doing a lucky draw. 
    The men were asked to write down their names on a small piece of paper and the girl had to marry the guy whose name she would pick from the bowl.

    This was the alternative given to the family and to the girl, who was confused about the guy she wanted to marry, out of the four men.

    Truly, this is a new kind of Swayamwar that we weren't ready for!

    Sporting the same hairdo can get boring after a while. That’s when we know it’s time to experiment with some trendy hairstyles . 

    Be it hair colouring or a haircut, a drastic change can really make one feel like a whole new person.
    If you are thinking about changing up your hair colour, you need to know how to take care of coloured hair. It’s only after colouring your hair that you realise the damage it can cause.

    Well, you need not worry because with these products by your side, you can easily tackle the aftermath of dyeing your hair:
    1. Keratin Repair Strengthening MaskHair colouring, especially for people with naturally dark hair, involves a lot of bleaching. In fact, bleaching is the main cause of all the resulting problems like dryness and hair breakage.

    The world of skincare can be really intimidating, especially to a beginner. 

    From knowing the right ingredients to knowing how to and when to apply them, you need to know it all if you want what’s best for your skin. 
    A face pack is one of the simpler products to use. It is something that you use once or twice a week and give your skin the much-needed nutrient boost. 
    But how can you figure out which is the best face pack for your skin? 
    Unfortunately, we can’t give you a one-word answer to this. This would depend on a lot of other factors like your skin type and your problem areas. Today, however, we will only talk about dry skin types. 
    In case you don’t have dry skin, you can read about the best face packs for oily skin. If you do have dry skin, here are the best face packs for you:
    1. Vitamin Boost Clay Face Mask This yellow clay face mask by MensXP Mud is enriched with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid. As someone with dry skin, this ingredient is a must-have in your skincare routine.

    __ECOMPRODUCT__1192__
    5. De-Tan Face Mask For Dry Skin Most de-tan face masks have ingredients that leave even a normal skin type dry, so one can imagine what it would do to the dry skin type. 
    Well, this face mask by Ustraa is slightly different. 
    Along with white Kaolin clay and Volcanic Ash, it’s also enriched with Aloe Vera which gives dry skin much-needed hydration.

    7. Rose & Sandalwood Face Pack Lastly, we have this gentle, all-natural face pack for men with dry skin. Since it’s a dry face pack, you will have to mix it with some rose water or normal water before applying. 
    This face pack consists of rose, sandalwood and neem extracts that will heal and protect your skin from sun and pollution damage.

    Whether intentionally or unintentionally, I don’t think anyone can deny that there are some (or many) words in the Indian lexicon that are… distasteful, to say the least, and outright racist in many cases. 
    While the seriousness of their usage depends, there’s no doubt the mental harm it can cause to the recipient of such words, which the society, at large, seems hellbent on ignoring.
    From the early days in the school to right inside our very homes and offices, these words have been commonplace for years and normalised to the degree that calling out their usage, generally leads to the shaming of the very person pointing it out.

    via GIPHY
    Well, for whatever good it would do, here is a small, non-exhaustive list of words that Indians really have got to stop using:

    1. The N WordI don’t know who told you that being brown gives you a free pass to use the n-word, but I’m sorry to say you’re gravely mistaken. 
    Even if you’ve got a black friend. Even if they once said you could use it, because—newsflash—black people are not a monolith
    I remember when BLM protests broke out last year, this one Indian dude living in India, made a video where he said brown people can use the n word because we use it as a term of endearment???? and he also said that people "shouldn't read too much into it" and everyday I wish
    — Ammz (@ammsosickofyou) January 26, 2021
    And no, the other ‘variations’ of this word, even words like “h*bshi” that directly translate to the n-word and have somehow become socially acceptable substitutes, aren’t it either. We know what you’re referring to, and it’s not cool. 
    Also, if you were wondering, yes, calling someone “kallu” is racist. 
    2.  The R Word If you don’t know what I’m referring to, it’s the word “ret*rd”, which is so common in our lexicon, globally, that you’ll find it in books, literature, shows, you name it.  
    The word has, for years, been used to put down individuals with intellectual disabilities, and has become a part of our everyday language. 
    If you’re not autistic or any other disability

    can you stop using retard as a slur? because it was used against autistic people, people with downsyndrome and many more people!! There’s other words to describe someone
    — Myles is married to Riker ♡ 75 days (@beetwtinnit) March 4, 2021
    Whether you’re using it lightheartedly or are actually referring to someone with a disability (even if not in a malicious manner), the use of this word is unacceptable. So the next time you want to lovingly curse out your friend, try to go for something that doesn’t reinforce stereotypes about an entire group of people. 
    3.  OCD “Oh, I’m so OCD.” No, you’re not, you’re just talking about something you haven’t the slightest clue about. 
    But, you protest if you hate messes and love keeping things clean and organised, so you must be having OCD, no? NO. And please stop saying you have it, or even Monica from Friends has it. 
    In simple terms, someone who has OCD suffers from “excessive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviours (compulsions).” 
    Now, this might manifest as an obsessive need for cleanliness and organisation, but it is certainly not the same as liking to colour-code all your notes and files, please give me a break.
    People saying “You’re being so OCD” or “Wow im acting really OCD right now” dont have a clue what OCD is

    OCD is fucking horrible... its having intrusive thoughts that can be violent/sexual/etc in nature and dealing with them through internal/external compulsions

    It is pure hell
    — Fey Vercuiel️‍⚧️️‍♿️ (@feymakes) March 1, 2021
    This perception of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is, in fact, pretty harmful to individuals who actually suffer from it.  
    Stereotyping an actual illness as a “perfectionist” or as just someone who “obsessively keeps things tidy” just serves to diminish the seriousness of the condition. 
    4.  Ch*nk* The word may now land you in jail but tell that to the hordes of Indians, children and adults alike, who oh-so-lovingly refer to their Northeastern friends as “ch*nk*”, “momo”, “chow mein”, or any other racist BS in the name of friendly banter. 
    © YRF
    By using this word, you’re actually insulting the multiple communities of Northeastern individuals and essentially calling them “Chinese”. 

    And no, it’s not okay even if your friend isn’t from the Northeast and merely has “small eyes” or “Chinese-looking eyes”, no matter how you might want to reason it. It's wrong. Period. 
    the way my relatives call my sister chinki because she has small eyes,,,,, itna normalised racism???!!!!!??
    — Bhavika (@bubblewrap101) September 18, 2020
    And as a piece of advice in the pandemic: Equating Northeast Indians or Northeast Asians to the coronavirus is definitely racist and you are walking around saying so, you clearly need help. 
    Bonus:  
    5. "It’s Just A Joke!"Not funny, didn’t laugh. 
    If your definition of a joke serves to put down someone’s self-worth, reinforce harmful stereotypes, or even aid in creating a dangerous environment that can lead to violence against a community, then you need to evaluate your sense of humour. 
    It’s the 21st century, and we really have to stop accepting ignorance as a way of life and start expecting better from each other.
