    Vicky Kaushal's journey from the super talented newcomer in Masaan to the B-Town A-lister that he is today, is definitely one for the books, but what should not be ignored here is his sartorial journey too, that has only proven to be another potent weapon in his arsenal of talents. Vicky can pull off any outfit without making the slightest of effort, and that's a quality not many stars possess. Wondering what we're talking about in particular here? Take a look.

    What we love about the entire ensemble is how effortlessly casual it is, while being absolutely stylish at the same time. The relaxed shorts on top of the compression tights, as well as the mature choice of a monochrome palette throughout is something which is masculine as well as 'chic' in a demure manner.

    If there ever was an outfit that screamed 'unbothered', it's this. A total mood for the year that has been, too - if we may say so. Go Vicky!

    We’ve got smartphones, smartwatches, fitness bands, smart lights and now it looks like smart clothes are going to be the next thing. Apple is apparently working on a ‘smart fabric’ that can be sewn on anything you wear. In a way, these would be connected garments similar to connected smart devices we now use with our smartphones every day.

    This is not the first time we’ve seen smart clothes as Google partnered with Levis to create a smart jacket not so long ago. It could be used to control the smartphone, measure heartbeat and breathing. The smart fabric can be used in anything from shirts, caps, jackets to jeans.

    However, the smart fabric by Apple is just a patent at this stage which was spotted by PatentlyApple. However, the smart fabric wouldn't make its way to the mainstream anytime soon since we haven't even heard of any prototypes Apple has been working on yet. The patent does show smart fabric buttons that could house sensors and circuitry which can detect ambient light, temperature, air gesture controls and optical features. There could also be a possibility that Apple might use its LiDAR sensor from the iPhone 12 Pro for augmented reality capabilities.

    This is not the first time Apple has dabbled with smart textiles as there have been other patents filed where it focused on smart sportswear, sleep-tracking blanket and an advanced fabric weaving machine. It sure sounds like Apple is thinking far into the future, however Levis and Google have already shown that it can be made today. This goes on to show how wearables will evolve in the future and how we could see some other whacky ideas take form in the next decade. 

    Apple was the first company to be able to make smartwatches mainstream and we wouldn’t be surprised if the company manages to pull that off with smart clothes as well. It’s exciting to see what Apple comes up with within the next few years especially since the Cupertino giant is rumoured to be working on smart glasses as well. It would be great if Apple could integrate everything we know from the patents so far with an interface that can be viewed and interacted with on the Apple Glasses.

    We have said this before, and we will say it again - no one pushes the envelope when it comes to fashion and style, and not giving two hoots about what people think of your sense of fashion, as Ranveer does.

    Say what you will, but the man clearly is comfortable in his own skin. That is the reason why we have come to love the manner in which he quirks up his outfits.
    © Instagram/ranveersingh
    What Was He Wearing © Viral Bhayani
    Recently, the man was seen in Bandra in Mumbai, wearing a rather dope looking outfit. 

    A teal coloured T-shirt with a teal & violet coloured jacket. This was paired with a rather sick-looking pair of light washed distressed denim.

    Along with that, he was also wearing perhaps one of the coolest pairs of sneakers that fans of anime would definitely approve of.

    The Brands © Adidas
    Ranveer was seen wearing an outfit that mainly comprised of pieces from Adidas. 

    The jacket that we see here is from the revived Adidas’ Original, Vintage collection, which celebrates some of the best of their athleisure wear, from the 80s & 90s.

    The sneakers, though, stand in a league of their own. Called the Adidas Yung-1 Dragon Ball Z Frieza edition, the sneakers legit look like they were made for the character from the Japanese Anime. 

    The Price  © Viral Bhayani
    Coming to the price of the sneakers, these are actually one of the most affordable pairs of sneakers that we have seen Ranveer wear.

    When they were new, they used to retail for about $150, or roughly Rs 10,000.

    However, on the reselling market, these Yung-1s go for about $175 or roughly Rs 13,000. Considering that he often wears sneakers that go for as high as Rs 70-80,000, this certainly is a bargain.

    Why It Works © Viral Bhayani
    The jacket truly is a vintage piece with modern aesthetic touches. The colours, and the material, have a strong resemblance to the athleisure pieces from the 90s & the 80s.

    The sneakers take a number of visual cues from the character. They come with a white and purple upper, three white stripes outlined in purple, and a white and purple sole.
    © Viral Bhayani
    All in all, that’s a dope looking outfit that Ranveer has got. The reason it works so well is that it is held together by a central theme.

    Thanks to their colour scheme, they sit in perfect harmony. Both of the pieces look like they were designed for Frieza.

    Recently, the internet was taken by storm after Pakistani artist Dananeer, also known as Geena posted a video with her friends. In no time, she was a viral sensation as her video #PawriHoRahiHai became a trending subject, thanks to Yashraj Mukhate's rendition of the meme.
    Not just social media influencers, politicians are now giving this trend their own spin too. BJP President JP Nadda seems to be the latest to hop on to the 'Pawri' trend. At the West Bengal rally, he said, “Ye Bengal ki janta hai, ye hum sab hai, aur Bengal main parivartan ki tayyari ho rahi hai. (This is Bengal’s people, this is us, and in Bengal, people are getting ready for a change).”

    People have started reacting to what he said at the rally. People feel it was surely an epic way to put forth his point. 
    Sahi hai,,, aap sab politicians comedy jyada badhiya karte ho @kunalkamra88 competition badh raha hai bro,,
    — Nicky yadav (@Nickynancy91) February 26, 2021@JPNadda आप तो उम्मीद से बढ़कर निकले
    आप इतने दिलचस्प है सोचा ही नही था।
    — Deepak kasaudhan (@KasaudhanGupta) February 26, 2021Didn't expect political parties taking memes too seriously
    — Rishi Vyaas (@MonkKunal) February 26, 2021Nadda ji got no chill
    — KESHRI (@AjayKeshri8) February 26, 2021This is next level trolling
    — Puneri_Ankita (@90_Ankita) February 26, 2021 We are wondering how the minister would react to it. 
    Yesterday, Nadda had launched an all-out attack against the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government. “We will give Bengal a new culture. No cut money, corruption-mukt, vikas yukt. The BJP will stop illegal coal mining. We are all emotionally involved with Bengal’s culture,” the BJP chief had said. 
    He launched the 'Sonar Bangla' mission and said, “We'll make available approx 30,000 suggestion boxes across Bengal. Around 100 boxes will be kept in 294 assembly constituencies. Our workers will go from door to door with 50 boxes and 50 will be placed at strategic locations.” 
    He bashed Mamta Banerjee for the current state of Bengal. "Dengue had spread here [Bengal]. The state govt wasn't providing us reports on dengue. People were dying here and as the then Health Minister I used to ask Mamataji to give me reporting of dengue. She used to threaten the doctors that no reporting has to be done," he added. 
    Political battle aside, it's interesting to see politicians being on top of latest trends and memes. What do you think? Which politician do you think is the most aligned with new trends? Let us know in the comments below.

    You might not even know it but you’re probably addicted to your smartphone especially since people have been stuck home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies show that we use our smartphones on an average of 80-150 times a day and there are repercussions if you don’t keep it in check. While there is a lot of good that comes out of using smartphones such as better communication, better work-life balance and entertainment, there comes a point that you simply cannot go without looking at your phone. In order to curb smartphone usage and get your life back in order, here are some ways you can reduce your addiction to smartphones:

    1. Check Your Usage  © Apple
    Both iPhone and Android smartphone now offer some form of smartphone usage tracking which tells you exactly how long you’ve been using your smartphone for. It also shows which apps you’ve been using the most and even lets you schedule down-time. During this time only apps that you whitelist will be available to use while others are greyed out for that duration. It is a great way to prevent yourself from using addictive apps like Instagram, Facebook and games. You can usually find this setting in the “screen time” settings of your smartphone. 

    2. Protect Your Time  © Apple
    Being always available to your friends and co-workers does come with its own caveats as you never really get time for yourself or get other work done. You need to respect and protect your own time so reduce your smartphone usage over a period of time. I tend to keep ‘Do Not Disturb’ switched on in my phone at certain hours and ensure everyone knows that I am not available. Only favourites from my contacts can get through me which includes family members and my boss. You can also completely switch off your smartphone every day at a specific time as well. Sometimes calls and text messages can make it hard for you to carry on with your work or spend time with your loved ones. If you face this problem daily, a little bit of digital detox will not hurt. 

    3. Do Other Things You Enjoy  © Unsplash
    If you love to read, play board games, watch movies, or go out on a stroll with your dog, you need to start doing more of that rather than spending time on your phone. No matter which activity you choose, the presence of a smartphone will always ruin the experience. Next time when you are watching your favourite TV show or playing a game, put your phone on ‘Do Not Disturb’; set it aside and don’t bother looking at your notifications. This is a great way to reduce the time spent on your smartphone while doing something else as you won’t be checking your smartphone each time you get a notification. 

    4. Turn Your Phone Into Grayscale  © Youtube/ITJungles
    Research has shown that humans attach emotions to colours and whenever a notification pops up, sometimes you can’t help but see what it's about. If you turn your phone into a black and white canvas, it will reduce the urge to check notifications and apps. Some phones even offer a scheduling feature where you can turn your phone into grayscale automatically. This is best used when you’re about to go to bed or are trying to fall asleep. 

    5. Turn Off Notifications From Unnecessary Apps  © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    Unless you need to communicate with friends, family or co-workers in real-time, you should turn off notifications from unnecessary applications. Every app wants to get your attention and it often does that by sending you notifications repeatedly. There are games that send notifications to get you to spend money while social media apps send you updates about people which you can always check out later. You may even delete social media apps from your phone altogether and only check updates from your laptop/desktop. The constant updates from your distant friends and family can be very distracting and eventually get you scrolling for even more content.

    One of the most anticipated Indian web series of the year, Tandav has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The show, helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar and written by Gaurav Solanki of Article 15 fame, has been accused of hurting religious sentiments. One particular scene, featuring Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub, where he is seen chanting lines dressed as Lord Shiva was found to be disrespectful by the people.
    Here’s the scene that created a stir:

    A case had been filed by Additional Inspector, Hazratganj, Amarnath Verma, regarding the web series on January 18 against Aparna Purohit, Tandav director Ali Abbas, producer Himanshu Krishna Mehar and writer Gaurav Solanki. Another case was registered in Uttar Pradesh’s Gautam Buddha Nagar against Aparna and others under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (under sections 153-A (1) (B), 295-A, 505 (1) (B), 505 (2) of IPC).
    In a recent turn of events, the Allahabad high court on Thursday rejected anticipatory bail to Aparna Purohit in the case against the web series.
    “Western filmmakers have refrained from ridiculing Lord Jesus or the Prophet but Hindi filmmakers have done this repeatedly and are still doing this most unabashedly with the Hindu Gods and Goddesses,” the court observed.
    “This tendency on the part of the Hindi film industry is growing and if not curbed in time, it may have disastrous consequences for the Indian social, religious and communal order. There appears to be a design behind such acts on the part of the people who just give a disclaimer in all the films and depict things in the movies which are really religiously, socially, and communally offensive in nature,” the court added.
    Some people appreciated the decision of the Allahabad High Court.

    — SPeace (@SPeace02189860) February 26, 2021It seems that finally respected judges begin to realise that Bollywood and OTT platforms continuously hurt Hindu sentiments in the name of freedom of expression. #Tandav
    — Rajnikant Jha (@RajnikantJhaInd) February 26, 2021Honorable judges of Allahabad High Court also follow @GemsOfBollywood, it seems. They have referred to gems we have showcased in rejecting bail plea of Aparna Purohit of @PrimeVideoIN for #Tandav

    On other side, our gems were used to build case against this web series.

    — विश्वनाथ सिंह 🇮🇳 (@Narcissistic_VK) February 26, 2021 But there were others who went on to say that politicians have used religion to win the elections and it’s a hypocritical move as they are jeopardizing the freedom of speech of filmmakers.
    So it’s totally fine for the government to use religion and cast to get votes during elections but the film makers can’t use the same to make money.

    Justified isn’t it?#Tandav
    — IKeshava (@keshava_i) February 26, 2021How were hindu gods and goddesses demeaned on #Tandav?

    Rajkummar Rao is one of those rare celebs who don't have to try too hard, for anything - be it his brilliant acting chops or his ultra fashionable public appearances. While the super talented actor started his journey with back to back impressive performances, no one could predict that this very man would one day give all the hypebeasts and sneakerheads a run for their money with his effortless yet super edgy fashion choices. His latest appearance was another testament to this. Take a look.

    His torn blue denims added yet another stylistic dimension to the entire look. However, what we couldn't help but gape at, were the sneakers he chose to wear. Let's take a closer look at them here.

    It can be safely said that Rajkummar just won the sneaker game for this year with this particular pair.

    The Narendra Modi stadium pitch is being criticised by various international cricket experts for being heavily in favour of spinners and based on the kind of outcome we saw in the third Test between India and England at Ahmedabad, it is safe to say that they may be right.
    Out of the 30 wickets that fell on the first and second days of the penultimate Test, 28 were taken by spinners.

    However, there was one man who made the most out of this turf and that was the local Gujarat lad Axar Patel who got himself a six-wicket haul in both the innings of the match and removed some big names like Jonny Bairstow and Zak Crawley off the field twice. 
    Following a well-deserved 'Man of the Match’ award, Patel was in the middle of a friendly interview with teammate Hardik Pandya while talking about his experience of such a staggering performance in front of the home crowd. 
    Here are the excerpts as provided by India Today: 
    Hardik: For you, it seems Test cricket is very easy isn't it? 
    Axar: When everything is going your way it seems easy but when things are not then you can even miss a full toss. It is all about confidence. 
    Hardik: As a friend, brother and a teammate, I'm very proud of the way you have played and made a comeback.
    Axar: When I was out of the team for 3 years I used to think about where I need to work on my game to come back. Friends started asking questions about my absence from the team. They used to ask 'why are you not in the team even after doing well in the IPL?'. But I knew I would play at the right time and give my 100 per cent.
    View this post on Instagram
    My family members, friends and you guys kept motivating me all the time. I would give credit to my family and friends for supporting me through the tough times. 
    Hardik: For Axar, we have been waiting for his debut for a long time. The way he has made it, we feel very proud of him. For me, it has been lots of hard work, patience and genuinity which is very important in this sport which I find this guy had it. And one more thing, how did you like playing on your home ground? 
    Axar: I felt great playing here because this is my second match at Motera. It was great to pick 2 five-wicket hauls in front of my home crowd. It was a special feeling to play in front of my home crowd and feels really nice when they cheer for you. 
    Hardik: Take another five-wicket haul in the next game. 
    Axar: I will try my best, won't say much till I perform.

    The duo was having a light-hearted conversation until their captain Virat Kohli jumped into the frame, took Pandya’s microphone and tuned his inner Gujarati: 
    “Aye Babu, thari bowling kamal chhe (hey Babu, your bowling was amazing)” Kohli said. 
    Caught completely by surprise, both Patel and Pandya ended up bursting out in laughter.

    With the ongoing Test series between India and England being of extreme importance with regards to the World Test Championship, fans from all over the country had travelled to Gujarat to witness the first-ever pink-ball match at the Narendra Modi stadium.
    They were hoping to witness five days (February 24 to February 28) of quality international cricket between two of the giants of the game, having a good time at the world’s largest cricket stadium, and witness history in the making.
    While history was most certainly made, it was just not the kind the spectators were expecting to become a part of.

    The Day-Night match started at 2:30 PM IST on Wednesday but got finished a little after supper on Thursday.  
    Only 842 balls were delivered during this period, while wrapping up all four innings and officially making it the shortest Test match since World War II.
    The inability shown by Joe Root and the rest of the English batsmen against India’s spinners led to an early collapse of the touring side in the first innings, leaving the Men in Blue with a mundane total of 112 runs to chase.

    Following a half-century by opener Rohit Sharma, vanishing England’s not-so-impressive lead did not take a lot of time. In the first couple of overs on Day 2, India had already overtaken England’s score and were well on their way towards a big advantage. 
    Once India were wrapped up at 145 with a 33-run lead for the Englishmen in the second innings, the dominance of the Indian spinners returned once again to haunt the visitors.  
    This time around, the experience was even worse as England could only score 81 runs and gave a 49-run target to the Men in Blue to win the match. 
    View this post on Instagram
    Within half an hour of supper, the opening partnership of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill was able to chase it down and allow their side to win by 10 wickets. 
    As impressive as this win was for the Virat Kohli-led side, it also meant that the Test, which was supposed to go on for three more days had suddenly come to an end and the fans who had paid good money to be there, were left worried about credible returns. 
    They started sharing pictures of their tickets on social media requesting the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to give them a refund:

    — $mokey (@IndianSmokey) February 26, 2021While the eligibility for a refund in case a Test match ends sooner than five days varies between different cricket associations, rumours of the BCCI and Gujarat Cricket Association considering a refund due to the early conclusion of the match are floating about.  
    However, nothing certain has been reported, so far. 
    @BCCI @GCAMotera Please update. Allowing to book tickets for 4th Test instead of refund would also work. #INDvsENG #INDvsENG_2021 pic.twitter.com/GOQlU4YEe6
