    If you follow the GTA online scene, then you have probably heard about “Sodapopin”, the online star who regularly streamed GTA RP (role-playing) on his Twitch channel. However, Chance “Sodapoppin” Morris announced that he will be taking a break from the game as well as his in-game character ‘Kevin Whipaloo’ because the game started to feel too much like an actual job. He said he rarely got to enjoy the scenarios in the game and is currently unclear when he will bring his character back.

    Morris decided to quit an in-game job because the pressure of handling multiple careers and maintaining a humorous persona at the same time became too much for him. Roleplaying in GTA online isn’t new and is the most-watched form of content for GTA Online. For those who are unfamiliar with it, in GTA RP streamers role-play characters and come up with some hilarious or ridiculous storylines. Sodapoppin’s character Kevin Whipaloo is both the manager at Burger Shot and Marlowe Vineyard. He is also the floor manager at the Diamond Resort and Casino. His character’s main modus operandi is that he avoids committing crimes in the game, which is extremely hard to do.

    Speaking on how the game started to feel like a real job, the streamer said "I'm taking a break. And I'm coming back when I feel like it. It's too much, And I don't want to say those things while I'm doing GTA RP, because the last thing I want is I don't want someone to look at Kevin in-game and be like 'oh, I don't want to interact with him because I know he's got too much interactions going on already.' I don't want people to overthink it. But at the same time, it's f**king brutal. It's just brutal.”

    It will be disappointing for fans of Sodapoppin since he is extremely popular in the GTA roleplaying community. It came as a shock to everyone to know that the streamer was not enjoying the experience lately. Apparently, Sodapoppin “overestimated” his capacity to balance his personal life and the game due to which he has taken a break to recuperate his mental wellbeing. His audience was sad to see him quit for the time being but were also sympathetic to his problems and are ready to welcome him back when he is ready.

    The biopic on Indian badminton star, Saina Nehwal has been in talks for a long time now. The film was announced with Shraddha Kapoor in the title role but things didn’t work out and Parineeti Chopra was roped in to play the Badminton star. The actor has dropped the teaser and it will surely give you goosebumps to get a glimpse of the badminton sensation's journey.
    The teaser takes you through the journey of the badminton star’s life - from her training in her childhood to playing for India in international tournaments. The teaser begins with a small monologue wherein Parineeti highlights how women in India are destined to do household chores before parents decide to get them married by the age of 18, but her story is different. The teaser ends with Parineeti holding the Indian flag.
    Here’s the teaser:

    After watching the teaser, people are convinced that it will do wonders at the box office and also feel that Parineeti is the perfect choice to play the role.

    The actor looks impressive as Saina and going by the teaser, we are kind of certain that this might give Parineeti the appreciation she has been looking for.

    Saina is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 26, the makers announced on Tuesday. The poster of the film was, however slammed by people on social media for the wrong depiction of a badminton serve.
    In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Parineeti had recently shared how she got into the shoes of Saina Nehwal. She said, “That was the most immersive process I've ever been a part of. You can't make up anything since you are playing real characters, you have to do everything authentically. The way I hold a racket, the way I play a particular shot - I could play it in my style but that's not allowed because you have to play like the other entity. That is why I spent so much time with Saina herself, tried to emulate her, made videos of her. I used to watch her matches, read everything, watch her interviews. I used to see how she talks and I tried to emulate that in the film."
    Excited about this one? Let us know in the comments section below.

    In another bizarre episode of 'this happens only in India', a man from Bihar’s Saharsa district celebrated his horse’s birthday by throwing an extremely lavish birthday party for his beloved pet. 

    Not only this, but he also cut a 23 kg cake and invited many people for a mouthwatering meal.

    Rajneesh Kumar aka Golu Yadav lives in Pachwati Chowk, Saharsa district, and celebrated his horse Chetak’s second birthday in a grand manner, making headlines everywhere.

    Golu loves Chetak like his own child and before Chetak’s birthday celebrations, the horse was even given a bath and was all decked up for his birthday celebration in the evening.
    According to News18, Golu Yadav also said that Chetak is like a member of his family and never calls him an 'animal'. 
    He further said that Chetak’s first birthday was also celebrated lavishly in a similar way.

    The 50-pound cake was placed in front of Cheatk and there was a picture of him on the cake along with his name. 

    Afterwards, Golu cut the cake for Chetak and firecrackers were burst. 
    Golu also expressed how he never celebrates his own birthday but will celebrate Chetak’s birthday every year. He said that he brought Chetak home when the horse was only six months old and used to feed him milk.
    “I have brought up Chetak like my own child. I have given him more love than my own children, ” he said.

    Expressing his unhappiness over violence against animals, Golu said, “Today, animals are more loyal than human beings."

    Golu’s love for his horse has now become the talk of the town. After all, the love and devotion of your pet is unparalleled.

    While the use of technology has evolved with time in order to make the game of cricket as accurate and player-friendly as possible, there are some occasions on which one of the two teams will end up disappointed with the outcome of using that technology. 
    One such incident took place in the second session of the first day of the fourth and final Test match between India and England at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi stadium when England batsman Jonny Bairstow was given out on an LBW appeal by pacer Mohammed Siraj. 
    View this post on Instagram
    Batting at 28, Bairstow was visibly shocked to see umpire Nitin Menon nod to Siraj’s appeal for a Leg-Before after his delivery rushed past the Englishman’s bat and nicked his back-foot pad.
    After a brief discussion with his batting partner Ben Stokes, Bairstow decided to go for a DRS review in which it was established that while the ball did not touch the bat before hitting the pad, the trajectory of the delivery ‘may or may not’ have led to the bails falling off the stumps.
    Under such circumstances, it is the umpire’s call that remains final and the review is retained by the team.
    England 4⃣ down!

    Mohammed Siraj picks his 2⃣nd wicket.

    Jonny Bairstow is out LBW. @Paytm #INDvENG #TeamIndia

    — BCCI (@BCCI) March 4, 2021
    When the on-field official was given the go-ahead by the third umpire to stick to his decision, he once again lifted his finger to declare the wicket and Bairstow had to walk back while shaking his head in disappointment as the Men in Blue could be seen celebrating in the background.
    The conflict, therefore, led to some obvious differences in opinion between the two sides and the different sets of fans backing up each team.
    Indian cricket fans complimented on-field umpire Nithin Menon and third umpire Anil Chaudhary for conducting some high quality officiating:
    Umpiring of the highest quality ever now #INDvsENG #INDvENG
    Siraj gets Bairstow
    Wicket
    Do not dare to criticize Indian umpires again since you cannot blame the pitch again
    — Ethan 001 (@001Ethan) March 4, 2021Umpiring has been top notch for most part of this series! #INDvsENG @BCCI
    — Alexander Supertramp (@atirmataavihs) March 4, 2021Excellent Umpiring!!! That looked out to the naked eye. The on-field umpires have been on point this series. #INDvENG #INDvsENG
    — Chinmay Rane//Shy Munchkin// Stan Account (@cvrane) March 4, 2021Excellent start for Umpire Menon. Top decision.
    — Boria Majumdar (@BoriaMajumdar) March 4, 2021The umpire better make sure Bairstow is happy next time he gives him out. We wouldn’t want an unhappy Bairstow now, do we mate? May be the English players can get lollies on their way back to the pavilion. #INDvsENG https://t.co/N8fJaOFI7H
    — Sushrutha (@3eyeview) March 4, 2021On the other hand, fans who supported Bairstow were heart-broken with the verdict and called out the officials for horrible decision-making:

    Player review from Bairstow. Obviously makes sense to check everything - just seems like a small gap in the logic of Umpire's Call in this very specific scenario.
    — Ben Jones (@benjonescricket) March 4, 2021It’s really rough on Bairstow because it was umpire’s call but umpire’s “caught out” thinking invalidates LBW in his mind so not really fair to India to not look at it. Now whether umpire’s call should be a thing or whether ball tracking is infallible is another conversation
    — Anna Forsyth (@aforsyth03) March 4, 2021Bairstow was given out caught by the on field umpire .... how is that umpires call relevant for a LBW decision ?? #EngvsInd #INDvEND
    — imagineer3.0 (@Imagineer31) March 4, 2021Other than Jonny Bairstow's dismissal, umpiring on Day 1 of the fourth Test at the Motera stadium has been well-accepted and acknowledged by fans of either side. Out of the three DRS reviews being taken in the first 38 overs, two belonged to Indian skipper Virat Kohli and one came off England.
    All three reviews agreed with the final decision of the officials and only one of them got retained on a technicality.

    Thousands of men suffer with hair loss and hair fall problems. From stress to diet and everything else in between, hair fall is a serious issue that concerns most young adults in our country. 

    Amongst other reasons, DHT sensitivity is one of the many causes of severe hair fall and male pattern baldness. 
    What is DHT sensitivity? 
    Well, that’s exactly what we’ll discuss today. DHT is one of the most important male hormones and has a direct effect on beard and hair growth. Here’s how:
    What Are DHT Blockers? DHT or Dihydrotestosterone is an androgen and is responsible for the male characteristics on your body, i.e. body hair, beard, etc. More DHT can mean more body hair and a thicker beard for men. However, it also means more hair fall. 
    This happens because DHT tends to shrink the receptors around hair follicles on our scalp. This prevents the nutrients from reaching your hair and tends to cause hair fall problems.
    Your body naturally converts about 5% of testosterone into DHT. This is done with the help of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT blockers help in blocking these enzymes and thus prevent further hair loss. 
    Here are 5 DHT blockers that are popularly used in shampoos, hair oils and other anti-hair fall products. You can either incorporate these into your diet, use them in your home remedies or just buy hair care products with these ingredients.
    __ECOMLOOKS__2647__
    __ECOMLOOKS__2648__
    __ECOMLOOKS__2649__
    __ECOMLOOKS__2650__

    __ECOMLOOKS__2651__
    Final Thoughts: Do They Actually Work? Hair fall has many causes, DHT sensitivity being only one of them. If your hair loss is caused by this, DHT blockers will surely help you reduce hair fall. However, expecting to grow back all your lost hair may not be ideal. DHT blockers will only help you prevent hair fall and promote hair growth, not treat it permanently.

    Sneakers with time have become our most favourite footwear option and we love to expand our collection every now and then. 

    While they truly are versatile and can add a great deal of style to any outfit, wearing them everywhere, every day can make it exhausting for your feet. This can result in unwanted stinky feet. Feet need space and time to breathe, to remain healthy. 
    A great option to ensure that? Flats!
    However, because we have gotten so used to sporting our trusty sneakers, we aren’t sure how to shift to any other footwear style. Well, styling up flats shouldn’t be that difficult. They are truly comfortable and give your feet all the time to breathe.
    Here are 5 occasions where men can don 5 of the best flat slip-ons this season.
    1. Family Get-togetherA family get-together may be the safest option to don a classic pair of black faux leather flats. Chances are you might earn a few heads turn and a bunch of compliments if you pair it with a simple cotton kurta.
    Add in your favourite pair of ripped jeans (for a less sanskari look) and you’ll be good to go.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1180__
    2. Picnic DateRomantic walks and a basket full of tasty snacks? Sounds amazing right?! 
    You want footwear that is easy to put on and off quickly so you can get comfy on your throw on the grass. Wear a pastel coloured shirt and a pair of neutral coloured chinos.
    Finish the look with jute flats to add to the earthy-cool aesthetic.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1181__
    3. Shopping SpreeWhether you have to stock on your groceries or are looking for that perfect pair of jeans, going for a comfy footwear option will make the experience more enjoyable.
    Keep it simple with a crew neck printed white tee, bermuda shorts and these blue criss-cross flats to have a fuzz-free shopping spree.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1182__
    4. Wedding Shabang!Now that lockdown is over and we have been attending weddings while being careful, we also want to dress right.
    Looking for a footwear option that you can wear even with your casual wardrobe? We say a classic black and brown combo in criss-cross flats is your go-to choice. They are versatile and perfect for many casual and formal occasions.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1183__
    5. Whenever You Want To Let Your Feet BreathYou really shouldn’t be looking for places to wear your flats. Men look great in it because they are such a versatile classic. 
    Give your feet a break from your favourite sneakers (even if they are the love of your life) and opt for these simple black flip-flops. Flats truly are the new sneakers.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1184__
    Final ThoughtsSlip-ons are truly versatile and look great on every man. Try these flats and going back to your sneakers will become a difficult decision.

    Freedom House, a US government-funded NGO, in its annual ‘Freedom in the World’ report has demoted India from being “Free” in 2020 to “Partly Free” in 2021. The country’s score has fallen from last year’s 71 to 67 out of 100 this year, calculated on the basis of the state of its political rights and civil liberties.
    Explaining the status change, the organisation says, “India’s status declined from Free to Partly Free due to a multiyear pattern in which the government and its allies presided over rising violence and discriminatory policies affecting the Muslim population and pursued a crackdown on expressions of dissent by the media, academics, civil society groups, and protesters.”
    © Freedom House
    “Rather than serving as a champion of democratic practice and a counterweight to authoritarian influence from countries such as China, Modi and his party are tragically driving India itself toward authoritarianism,” says the report.

    And according to the report, it’s not just India’s freedom that is in question. “With India’s decline to Partly Free, less than 20 percent of the world’s population now lives in a Free country, the smallest proportion since 1995.”
    © Freedom House
    Besides India, Peru was also declared “Partly Free” this year. Thailand, Peru, and Kyrgyzstan were among the countries that declined from “Partly Free” to “Not Free” while Seychelles was declared “Free” as an improvement from its previous “Partly Free” status.

    The public seems to be of two minds on this news though. Some seem to be calling into questioning the organisation’s authority.

    — Anuraag Saxena (@anuraag_saxena) March 3, 2021Freedom Housed had received funding for clandestine activities inside Iran in the past. It also lists Indian and Pakistani Kashmir as separate entities and ranks. FWIW, it also gives Canada a score of 98. pic.twitter.com/nFEQ450M4p
    — Avatans Kumar (@avatans) March 4, 2021On the separate assessment of ‘Indian Kashmir’, the organisation says, “Disputed territories are sometimes assessed separately if they meet certain criteria, including boundaries that are sufficiently stable to allow year-on-year comparisons.”
    Others are concerned over the contents of the report and what it might mean for the state of Indian democracy.
    Two disturbing news items in today’s newspapers. Freedom House has downgraded India’s ranking from being a free country to being only ‘partly free’. And, 70% of governmental shutdowns of the Internet were in India.
    — Tavleen Singh (@tavleen_singh) March 4, 2021Our freedom fighters fought the British and laid down their lives for a free India, for it to now being taken away, bit by bit, every passing day, is a sad reminder of where we stand today.
    The new normal.

    Mohammed Siraj might just be a couple of series old in international Tests but the kind of impact he has managed to leave on the field every time he has gotten the opportunity to play red-ball cricket for India has been impressive.
    In the fourth and final match of the India-England series, the first day action at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi stadium led to some early progress made by the hosting side as England found themselves struggling to score runs without losing wickets, at least in the first session.
    View this post on Instagram
    Following Axar Patel scalping two important wickets of England openers Dom Sibley and Zak Crawley in incredible fashion, it was Siraj’s turn to join the action and he did so in the best way possible - by removing the opposing skipper and England’s best batsman off the field.
    On the very first delivery of the 13th over of the day, Siraj stunned Joe Root with a direct delivery right in front of the stumps while adding some extra pace to it. Unable to read the bowler on time, Root ended up exposing his front leg to the delivery and got dismissed on an LBW appeal.
    View this post on Instagram
    The dismissal was so clear and obvious that when the English skipper walked up to his batting partner Jonny Bairstow to ask whether he should go for a review, his teammate simply shook his head in disapproval and Root ended up walking back to the pavilion without any contest.
    And while getting Joe Root out was incredible, fans of the Indian cricket team made a rather uncanny observation about what happened after Siraj had taken the wicket.
    As the Men in Blue huddled around the pacer in celebration, a peculiar face, that of Mayank Agarwal could be seen right next to Siraj, while engaging in a routine ritual every time the latter picked a wicket, regardless of where or against whom the match was being played.
    The wayyy Mayank alwayys der dedicating Siraj 's Wicket to his Dad >>>>#indvengpic.twitter.com/LwkZzXKdjI
    — Gajal (@KLaassyGajal) March 4, 2021
    Replacing one of the fielders, Agarwal was at the right place at the right time to congratulate Siraj on his first wicket of the fourth Test and did so by running up to him as the two teammates raised their arms in the air as a gesture of respect towards the bowler’s father who had died mere weeks before his international Test debut.

    From Refugee to Breathe: Into The Shadows, Abhishek Bachchan has come a long way. While people have liked some of his characters like that of Guru, he has also been the subject of ridicule and hate for certain career choices. Nevertheless, people do agree with the fact that he is a good actor and needs to be celebrated. Abhishek recently shared his new look from his upcoming film, Dasvi, where the actor is seen donning the garb of Indian politician. 
    Sharing the picture, he wrote, “#Dasvi का दसवा दिन @yamigautam @NimratOfficial #DineshVijan @LeyzellSandeep #ShobhanaYadav @TusharJalota @writish #KumarVishwas @Soulfulsachin @JIGARSARAIYA #AmitabhBhattacharya #KabirTejpal @MaddockFilms @bakemycakefilms @jiostudios @JioCinema.”

    — Smita Paul (@smita_paul) March 4, 2021The movie is touted to be a political comedy, which marks the directorial debut of Tushar Jalota. The film has been produced by Dinesh Vijan, and will reportedly deliver a message about the importance of education in today's times.
    According to an earlier report in Pinkvilla, he will play the role of 10th standard fail Chief Minister. "The film is unlike any political film made in Bollywood as the narrative is entangled with a lot of humor (sic)," a source told the publication.
    The source added, "All through the lockdown, Abhishek has been in constant touch with Tushar and Dinoo (Vijan), to discuss this film and it's finally all set to go on the floors from February 22. It's a script close to Abhishek's heart and he is looking forward to getting into the tale that chronicles the journey of a corrupt politician.”
    Besides Dasvi, Abhishek Bachchan will also be seen in crime-thriller Bob Biswas, a spin-off to the 2012 Vidya Balan-starrer Kahaani, and Kookie Gulati-directed The Big Bull, where the actor will be seen playing infamous stockbroker Harshad Mehta.

    According to a new report by Bloomberg, Nintendo is set to launch a new model of the Nintendo Switch that will come with upgraded specifications and new capabilities. Bloomberg reports that the new model will use a Samsung OLED display and will have the ability to deliver 4K UHD graphics when in docked mode.

    It is rumoured that Nintendo is planning to unveil the new model in the hopes that the "larger touchscreen can prop up demand in time for the holidays.” Samsung Display Co. is expected to start mass production of a 7-inch 720p OLED panel as early as June 2021 with an "initial monthly target of under a million units.” The display will then be shipped to factories that will assemble the new Nintendo Switch.

    The current Nintendo Switch model features a 6.2-inch 720p LCD display which has very large bezels. The new screen would probably be the same size as the current model albeit without the larger bezels around it. “The OLED panel will consume less battery, offer higher contrast and possibly faster response time when compared to the Switch’s current liquid-crystal display,” said Yoshio Tamura, co-founder of display consultancy DSCC.

    Nintendo has also apparently opted for rigid OLED panels as it is a cheaper alternative to OLED displays used in high-end smartphones. The excess supply of rigid OLED displays has made the screen cheaper and will let Nintendo be competitive with the price of the new Switch model.

    Nintendo has been long rumoured to launch an upgraded Nintendo Switch even though Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa recently said they will not be announcing a new model "anytime soon.” Many people have called it the “Switch Pro” or “Super Switch” but we will only know the official nomenclature once Nintendo makes it official. 

    Bloomberg predicts that the new model could launch by the end of this year while some have speculated at a Match 2022 launch. Many believe Nintendo is in no rush to launch a new model as the Nintendo Switch is still selling incredibly well where it has surpassed 79.8 million lifetime sales already.
