    Amit Sadh, now a prominent actor in the OTT space has been known for his roles in films that include the likes of Kai Po Che, Guddu Rangeela, and Sarkar 3, which is a political thriller. 
    For the uninitiated, Amit Sadh has always been part of the industry. 
    As a teen, he was a part of the teen drama Kyun Hota Hai Pyarrr, and later, acted in a few daily soaps before appearing on the reality show Bigg Boss.
    Last year, he gained traction for reprising his role as the stern cop, Kabir Sawant in the second season of Breathe, called Breathe: Into The Shadows. 
    This was followed by a number of OTT projects like Yaara, Shakuntala Devi, and Avrodh: The Siege Within.
    His dedicated following can't stop talking about his unwavering screen presence and his impeccable acting skills. But more than that, he also has a relatively effortless sense of style. 
    In fact, while he knows how to clean up well for formal events, he also knows what works best for the everyday grind. 
    His style can be defined as rather laidback and more elemental. A recent outfit of his was a testament to the fact. Take a look at the outfit here:

    Amid Sadh was spotted shooting on the streets of Mumbai. He was also riding a bike in some of these pictures and then sitting on a staircase nearby.

    He was seen wearing a black jersey with a full-sleeved vest underneath. The jersey had #MonstersReloaded printed on it in a neon green shade. 

    Along with it, he wore a pair of grey shorts. What's surprising is the fact that he wore a pair of tights underneath as well.

    Essentially, he was wearing two pairs of shorts for his bike ride. We're glad that he was wearing appropriate bike riding gear and taking road safety more safely. 

    On the work front, he will next be seen in Geher which is being directed by Ram Gopal Varma, scheduled to release in September of this year.

    Celebrities are often seen wearing sneakers that are ridiculously priced. 

    Take Karan Johar or Ranveer Singh for example. They have been seen making some jaw-dropping statements with their extravagant pieces. 
    However, not everyone in B-town does luxury fashion. Vicky Kaushal, for example, has a penchant for affordable styles. 
    Be it his brown backpack or his super colourful sneakers, his style exudes plenty of inspiration whilst also being affordable.

    He also has a penchant for zany sneakers. Case in point, he just added yet another cool pair of sneakers to his expansive collection as seen in the recent pictures.

    Take a look:

    These sneakers were launched in the month of January 2021. 

    As for the price, these bright sneakers are yet another inexpensive pair of shoes. While celebrities are spending over a lakh on shoes, these cost only Rs 13, 046.

    WhatsApp has not backed down from its recent privacy policy update that entails sharing private data with Facebook if you have interacted with a business on the instant messaging platform. In fact, you will still risk losing your account if you do not accept the privacy policy changes. As a result, there was an instant backlash from the user base and the instant messaging app delayed the rollout of the new privacy policy to May 15th. The move was done in order to clarify any issues with the changes and educate its users on what the new policy entails. It is worth pointing out that WhatsApp has a different set of policies for European customers where the company does not force users to accept the new changes.

    However, WhatsApp has now explained what will happen to your account if you do not accept the new terms. Failure to accept the new terms after May 15th will result in users losing key features. “For a short time, you’ll be able to receive calls and notifications, but won’t be able to read or send messages from the app,” according to the company’s FAQ page. 

    As for the “short time”, it means that your WhatsApp account will last for a few weeks until your account faces permanent deletion. WhatsApp has now started communicating with its merchant partners about the new policies who use the platform for selling goods and services. The instant messaging app charges a fee to businesses to use WhatsApp as a way to communicate with customers.

    Users who are not keen on accepting the new policy changes will eventually face a permanent account deletion where chat history will be deleted as well. The only option users have left is to switch to different messaging platforms like Telegram and Signal if they wish to not accept the latest privacy policies. Thankfully, Telegram now offers an easy method to transfer all of your chat history and contacts with a seamless procedure. 

    Having said that, users will still be able to accept the new terms on WhatsApp after the May 15th deadline. You will have 120 days to make up your mind after the May 15th deadline. However, if users do not accept the new terms within the new 120 days timeframe, your WhatsApp account will be classified as inactive. WhatsApp automatically deletes inactive accounts after 120 days. WhatsApp says once the account is deleted, “it is something we cannot reverse.”

    The mini auction for the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League saw some massive upsets with the likes of Aaron Finch not being shown any interest by any one of the eight franchises of the league.
    On the other hand, a couple of players, mostly overseas cricketers were in for a big pay day and a handful of hungry franchises with big purses were ready to break the bank with the hopes of filling in the holes in their squad and stand a chance to win the prestigious trophy at the end of the tournament.
    From Chris Morris to K Gowtham, here are the Top 5 Buys from the @Vivo_India #IPLAuction so far. pic.twitter.com/cLZn4tAjLu

    While Rajasthan Royals’ Rs. 16.25 crore chase for South African all-rounder Chris Morris created history, making the Protea the most expensive buy in the history of IPL auctions, there was yet another man who’s sky-high deal left fans and critics in disbelief.
    Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who got released by Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) following what was the cricketer’s worst season in the league statistically, saw Royal Challengers Bangalore pursue him with everything they got and finally won him over with a massive Rs. 14.25 crore contract.

    Many across the Indian cricketing fraternity, including former Indian opener and two-time IPL winning captain Gautam Gambhir, felt that Maxwell got way more than what he had deserved, especially after the kind of performance he put up for Punjab not too long ago.
    Gambhir had even mocked Maxwell for doing great “marketing” for himself when he publicly expressed his willingness to play under Virat Kohli.
    “I get along with Virat pretty well. It’ll be certainly nice to work under Virat and will certainly enjoy batting with him – that’s for sure. It will be awesome to work with him, and he’s always been really helpful to me along the journey. Whenever I’ve caught up with him, he’s been brilliant. So to be able to work with him first hand will be pretty cool,” Maxwell had told India Today ahead of the auction.
    And even though RCB’s contant bidding for the 32-year-old felt like an impulse buy at the time, it turns out the Bengaluru franchise had planned to bring him onboard even if it meant going above and beyond the value of his former contract.

    — Royal Challengers Bangalore (@RCBTweets) February 22, 2021
    However, the fans were extremely unhappy with the buy and called the franchise out for “wasting money” on a struggling player:
    Its time to replace selecting committee...just like you wasted money on yuvaraj singh, finch, baby and many others you are repeating it on Maxwell..his last few year performance tells everything.

    Robert Vadra, businessman and son-in-law of Congress’ President Sonia Gandhi, bashed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the hike in the prices of petrol which has become the topic of concern for everyone. He attacked him and said that he should come out of his air-conditioned cars and see people's real suffering.
    "You (PM) must come out from A/C cars and see how people are suffering and perhaps then you would reduce fuel prices. All he does is blame others' previous government for everything and move on," Vadra said while speaking to ANI. “For everything Prime Minister blames United Progressive Alliance (UPA) and the previous government. If something goes wrong then my name will be raised. He always blames others and keeps going," he added.

    — ANI (@ANI) February 22, 2021
    He went on to add, “What Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said was right that they (BJP) only think about two people. To feel the problem and pain of common people one has to come on the road.”
    In order to drive his point home, he chose to ride a bicycle and told ANI, “If I have to be people's voice then first I have to ride a bicycle to feel their pain then only I can make their voice strong. We can only request Prime Minister to look into the matter.” He rode his bike from his Sujan Singh Park residence to his Sukhdev Vihar office. The pictures of him riding a bike have started to go viral on social media.

    The Mi Portable Bluetooth speaker was launched in India for Rs 2,499 that offers everything you need from a portable speaker. The wireless speaker has a two-driver setup with an output of 16W, offers IPX7 water resistance and has all the right ports needed for your smartphone. It is probably the most affordable Bluetooth speaker that gives brands like Boat and Ultimate Ears a run for their money. I’ve been using the speaker for the past few days for various purposes and here’s what I think about it:
    Design and Features When looking at the Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker, the first thing you will notice is the design as it is quite reminiscent of the Ultimate Ears lineup. However, unlike its competition, I prefer the Portable Bluetooth speaker’s design as it can be used in both vertical and horizontal orientation. The base is wide enough for the speaker to stand vertically and on the side, the speaker also has rubber platforms to keep it balanced while placed horizontally. The speaker gives the user the freedom to use it the way they want when placing it on the flat surface. Not many portable Bluetooth speakers offer this kind of flexibility which is great to have when using it in different environments.

    The speaker is also IPX7 water-resistance rated which means you can use it at the pool or at the beach without worrying about water damage. Having said that, I do advise closing the top-hatch to cover up the charging and aux-in port. The speaker can technically be submerged up to 1 meter in water for 30 minutes. Having said that, I do wish Mi India sells a separate floaty with the speakers so that you can use it in a pool as it floats. Since the competition does offer a floaty with its water-resistant portable speakers, it was a disappointment to see Mi India not going all the way with this product.

    The portable speaker also has all the capacitive buttons you need for controlling music, volume and connections. The buttons are quite responsive to use and fairly easy to set up with any phone you want, thanks to the dedicated pairing button. Overall, the speaker’s design is well thought out and covers all the bases including providing a port for a 3.5mm auxiliary-in. This port can be used for plugging in all types of devices that support the connection. In my case, I used it with the Nintendo Switch as it serves as the perfect portable speaker for portable gaming. Lastly, the speaker also has an in-built microphone that can be used for phone calls. 

    Sound Quality When it comes to portable Bluetooth speakers, sound quality is not the main feature customers look at. That’s because these speakers need to serve their purpose more than offering high fidelity sound. Having said that, the Mi Portable Bluetooth speaker offers a great sound experience considering how much it costs. In comparison to UE portable speakers, the sound is as good if not better. The experience can also be enhanced by using a stereo setup since the speaker can pair with another Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker via stereo pairing. I didn’t get to test the stereo pairing feature since I was provided with only one review unit, but I advise checking it out for yourself at a store near you.

    When it comes to the sound, the speaker is loud enough to fill up a medium-sized room with ease, thanks to the dual setup with an output of 16W. The speaker also offers a more balanced sound than UE’s Megaboom while being louder at the same time. In fact, this speaker by MI puts UE on notice as it offers a better sound experience for less. The speaker does come with a dual-EQ mode that improves the sound a bit but it isn’t as comprehensive as UE’s app-based EQ customisations. 

    © MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
    Genres like Electronic, Hip-Hop and Ambient sound quite satisfying although we do feel the speaker focuses a bit more on the lower frequencies in one of the EQ modes. Overall, the sound quality is good enough for outdoor parties or a day at the beach, a purpose the Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker serves suitably. The Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker can also last for up to 13 hours on a single charge which is quite impressive considering the size of the drivers. The speaker can be recharged via the USB-C port but unfortunately, it does not offer any fast-charging capabilities. 

    The Final Say The Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker is perfect for anyone who needs a portable speaker that doesn’t cost too much but also delivers great sound. For Rs 2,499, the Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker is currently the best value for money portable Bluetooth speakers in the market and makes the competition look like it is overcharging for its products.

    If you don’t like or haven’t watched Titanic about a dozen times in your life, you are already eligible for that one-way mission to Mars, whenever that happens. This iconic movie is not just a record holder in terms of the accolades and the awards that came its way, but it's been a part of our growing up. It also paved the way for the pious friendship goals Leonardo and Kate Winslet set for everyone. So it's natural that this is not a movie, it's an emotion, a part of history which no one dares to mess with.

    Now what if we tell you that the makers had indeed shot an alternative ending to the story and recently, it got viral after someone shared it on social media and also mentioned how they feel about it (read: not good). If you jog your memory, the original movie has an old Rose throwing off the gigantic heart-shaped necklace into the ocean as she lingers in memory, staring into some sort of an abyss. Remember? Okay, so the alternative ending is slightly different and has her doing the same, except, she is surrounded by a crew as well. Watch this:
    The alternate ending to Titanic is hilarious. This would have absolutely ruined the film for me pic.twitter.com/L3vSrSb72e
    — Pat Brennan (@patbrennan88) February 16, 2021
    This video has suddenly gone viral on the internet and fans are actually not happy. I mean, this looks more like a BTS to me, TBH.
    The only way this could’ve been worse is if there was a shot of the jewellery reaching the bottom of the ocean and landing in the hand of a skeleton wearing Jack’s clothes lmao
    — Philip (@TheWatcherIsBae) February 18, 2021
    Imagine if he grabs it and runs away or the beard man throws the old lady in the sea. 🤣🤣
    — Sumit G (@SsumitG) February 20, 2021
    I can’t stop laughing. Seriously that ending would have sucked but watching it now just cracks me up. Bill Paxton had the look like he was going to push Rose over the edge and take off with the jewel
    — Tyler Ellis (@TylerMageeEllis) February 20, 2021
    Exactly. This ending would have been the iceberg that would have sunk "Titanic" the movie.
    — Saala Desi (@saaladesi) February 21, 2021
    The whole squeaky act got us cringing, actually! So glad this wasn’t the original choice and the makers went with what we saw on the screen. I wonder what James Cameron would say if he compared the two endings now and mused on what this silly joke was.

    Most of these habits seemed insanely hard to follow when I started. But they have yielded results that I could not have imagined or planned for, when I started. That's the beauty of habits. They lead you to destinations you could not have decided for yourself. They create opportunities that would seem impossible early on. They make you comfortably equipped with uncertainty.
    When I dropped out of my PhD and came back to India, at the age of 24, I had 2 choices to make:
    Choice 1: Plan A didn't work. So Plan B. And then Plan C, D,E or Choice 2: Was there a way to live life without a plan, a goal, a target?  
    In a moment of what most people, including myself, would call madness, I decided it was Choice 2. I will not set any more goals or targets. I will set habits. Frankly, at that low point of life, I had nothing to lose. And all to gain. And gain, I did!
    Don't set goals. Set habits!
    Here are 10 such habits that will help you achieve higher goals than you could have set for yourself.  
    Habit 1: Read every day © Unsplash
    I read 30-45 mins everyday. Early in the morning. Only non-fiction. No specific topic. Anything that intrigues me. How it has helped me is to connect the dots from multiple fields, personalities, experiences. I remember how Stoic Philosophy helped me design the investment approach for Nearbuy and how Charlie Chaplin's biography helped me make better video content.  

    Habit 2: Meditate every dayI meditate for 30 mins every day. It is hard to describe how immensely helpful meditation has been. I am more aware, out of habit now. The minute I am distracted, I realize I am. I do not feel the need to control my emotions anymore. I am simply aware of them.
    Habit 3: Work out 6 days a week © Unsplash
    I play tennis for 3 days a week and lift weights 3 days a week. This was a journey I started rather late in life, at the age of 32. Haven't looked back since then.  Working out has taught me not just self discipline and self respect, it has also contributed the most to my growth as a leader. Studying about the body made me realize how organizations should also be developed the same way.

    Habit 4: Sleep for 7-8 hours a dayI sleep at 9: 30 pm every day (except Friday) for 7 hours and then try to sleep for another hour during the afternoon. Sleeping well is perhaps the single biggest determinant of physical and mental energy. It is ridiculous how easy it is to gain that energy and how many of us still waste this natural cure to so many problems!
    Habit 5: Read ALL emailsI get ~3,000 emails a week marked to me. And I read all of them. I reply to less than 5% though.  I treat my emails as my opportunity creator. I have hired my best folks, because of cold emails sent to me. I have collaborated with the smartest, most capable people I know, and all of it started with a random email. Great opportunities do not come with the subject line "Great Opportunity"!
    Habit 6: Meet someone new every weekFor the past 5 years, I have met someone new every week. Earlier it used to be in office. Now happens through Zoom. I decide spontaneously. An interesting email. An intriguing tweet. An article that caught my fancy. I just seek their time. People have amazing stories, amazing experiences, amazing things to share. It is like reading a book a week, in less than 30 minutes. Most of these conversations, I walk away with something that I need to think upon, work upon, improve upon. 
    Habit 7: Watch TV less than 2 hours a week © Unsplash
    We cut our cable connection 6 years back. And even on OTTs, my time per week is less than 2 hours. I do not commit to any series. Only movies. (My last 2 series were Chernobyl and Scam - both worth it!). Less TV means less numbing of my senses, less chances of being seduced to not sleep on time, less time consuming. And that means more time feeling alive, more chances of sticking to my schedule and more time thinking.

    Habit 8: Think in questionsBack in college we used to play a fun game. We will all speak ONLY in questions. No sentences. I still play that game in my head every day. Asking questions allows me to dig deeper. It helps me pause, helps me reflect.
    Habit 9: Resist the obviousWhenever in a complex situation, I ask myself, "If I were to take an opinion poll on what should I do, what would be the majority response?" And then I will encourage myself to not make that choice. Instead, think of the non-obvious path.  This is a magical habit. It compounds magnificently to the point where it becomes second nature. And when it does, it sets you up for outcomes that most of the world will not witness for themselves.
    Habit 10: Share what you knowI have been writing a blog since 2005. I have been posting videos once every week since 2016. I have been posting videos every day since 2018. I have been sharing what I have learnt, as a process (which doesn't feel like a process to me). Sharing has made me connect with people that I would have never met otherwise. Sharing it with absolute transparency has also made me extremely comfortable with who I am.
