She said in a post shared by the official Instagram handle of Miss India back in December, "My blood, sweat, and tears have amalgamated into the courage to pursue my dreams.”
She said, “She grew up in tough circumstances, spending nights without food or sleep and walking miles just to save a few rupees. I yearned for books and clothes that were not hand-me-downs, but luck was never in her favor.

She also expressed how her parents mortgaged whatever little jewellery to pay Manya’s exam fee. Miss India said about Manya Singh in a post shared last month, "She believes that education is the strongest weapon one can have with themselves at all times."
Her mother also expressed, “She has won the Best Student award during her HSC. She has struggled a lot in life till date, from not being able to pay her school fees, not being able to afford books, and being neglected by her classmates for being an auto driver's daughter.”
Manya also said, "I've walked hours to reach places so I could save the rickshaw fare.”

“I am here today at the VLCC Femina Miss India 2020 stage to uplift my father, my mother, and my young brother and to show the world that all is possible if you are committed to yourself and your dreams,” she added.
Manya Singh is now preparing for her further education in Management studies. Isn’t her story extremely inspiring? Let us know in the comments section below!

Earlier this week, Twitter gave in to the Indian government’s demands of blocking or deactivating accounts identified by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology(MeitY). A report published by Medianama shows 62 accounts that were removed from the platform in India that includes some prominent figures. The list was disclosed by Twitter to Lumen Database and it includes a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament, politicians from the Aam Aadmi Party and the Indian National Congress.

India’s MeitY ordered Twitter to deactivate problematic accounts in the country “in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India.” It is worth pointing out that these accounts are only inaccessible in India and are still viewable for the rest of the world.

“We have withheld a portion of the accounts identified in the blocking orders under our Country Withheld Content policy within India only. These accounts continue to be available outside of India. Because we do not believe that the actions we have been directed to take are consistent with Indian law, and, in keeping with our principles of defending protected speech and freedom of expression,” Twitter said in a blog post earlier this week. The social media giant also said that the platform blocked over 500 accounts that were engaged in “platform manipulation and spam.”

The first match of the India-England series did not go according to the Indian cricket team’s hopes and plans as the Joe Root-led side dominated the hosts in both the innings and won the clash by a massive 227-run margin.
Got a message for @Root66?
258 runs in the match
That sensational catch 🤲
All in his 100th Test match
🇮🇳 #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/aCIlx6gdKU
— England Cricket (@englandcricket) February 9, 2021 Having won the historic red-ball series on Australian soil, Virat Kohli and his Men in Blue would have expected to funnel down all the confidence and enthusiasm into the first game but a dull pitch, and allegedly faulty Test cricket balls led to a disappointing five-day stint at the Chepauk stadium for most of the Indian squad.
Keeping in mind the fact that the next match will also be taking place at the same Chennai stadium, here’s a prediction of India’s Playing XI for the second Test:
1. Rohit SharmaI Wass a bigg fan of ROHIT SHARMA but Abb Mujhe laga hai kii isske bass ka kuch bhi nhi hai virat isse bhot bhadia wo fans ko bhot kum dissappoint karta hai YE tho lodu hai 20 innings me sirf ek match me hi runn bnata hai. iss Ka waqt khatam hogya hai isse retire Ho jana chahiye.
— Aditya (@Aditya77214100) February 7, 2021
Despite failing to score more than 12 runs in either of the innings in the first Test, veteran opening batsman Rohit Sharma might get yet another opportunity to prove his mettle in the longest format of the game before skipper Kohli starts to look for other options in players like Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul.
2. Shubman GillAlthough Gill was not as effective against the Englishmen as he was Down Under during his Test debut, a half-century off the 21-year-old’s blade should ensure him another opportunity to shine at the top of the order.
3. Cheteshwar Pujara View this post on Instagram
He might be slow and eat up hundreds of deliveries before reaching the 50-run mark, Cheteshwar Pujara proved why he is the heart and soul of Indian Test cricket during the Australia series. Gone for cheap in the second innings of the England clash, Puraja’s 73-run performance made him one of the more effective batsmen against threats like James Anderson and Jack Leach in the first innings.
4. Virat KohliHaving lost the previous four Tests as the captain of the Indian squad and not being able to stitch together a decent innings to drive his side to victory for a long time in red-ball cricket, Kohli is quickly sliding through the ranks as an elite Test batsman. The skipper, although tried his best to save the second innings at the Chepauk, lost his wicket to a rogue delivery by Ben Stokes. With a chip on his shoulder, a captain’s knock is long overdue.
5. Ajinkya RahaneJust like Sanjay Manjrekar said, the captain in Ajinkya Rahane is great but the batsman in him is quickly becoming a big problem for his team. Other than the solitary century at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Rahane is finding it difficult to stick to the crease for long. Unfortunately, the fall of wickets for the middle-order batsman came off a stunning catch by Root in the first and a blinder by Anderson in the second, making the case worse for himself. Much like Sharma, Rahane might have just this one match to prove his worth as a batter.
6. Rishabh Pant View this post on Instagram
Yes, he is volatile, unpredictable and not as effective of a wicket-keeper most would like, he was the team’s greatest weapon against the Australians and proved that he could play a big innings (not long, necessarily) to give his side a fighting chance or maybe even lead them to victory. Pant stays secured at the number six spot.
7. Washington SundarIn the first three innings of his Test career, Washington Sundar has made a solid case for himself as a genuine all-rounder for the squad and not just a replacement for the injured Ravindra Jadeja. Playing once again on his home ground, Sundar’s prowess on either side of the pitch will allow him the opportunity to show up in the Indian jersey once again.
8. Ravichandran Ashwin © AP
One of the most integral parts of the Indian Test side, six-wicket haul in the second innings of the Chepauk Test in addition to his ability to hold the pitch on one side and hit big shots on occasion makes Ashwin an indispensable unit of the team. He got struck on his wrist during the second innings off a stinger by Jofra Archer and was in a lot of pain. If his injury isn’t severe, he will definitely return to the side.
9. Axar PatelThe dedicated spinner’s spot in the team created a lot of controversy in the first match when Shahbaz Nadeem was picked over Kuldeep Yadav and it seems as if the chinaman will have to wait even longer before he can play another international Test for Team India. Patel was Kohli’s first choice for days before the series had begun but was sidelined due to injury. However, he is now fit and ready to join the squad.
10. Ishant SharmaAlthough scalping just three wickets in the first match, Test veteran Sharma remained one of the most economical bowlers for Kohli in Chennai. The consistency, pace and bowlers offered by 6’4’’ pacer continues to make him an indispensable member of the red-ball squad for India.
11. Jasprit BumrahAn experienced Indian player for overseas Test matches, Jasprit Bumrah finally made his Test debut at home in the previous match and took four wickets in the two innings combined, including Dom Sibley in the first and Root in the second.

Recently, Salman Khan got relief in the blackbuck poaching case as the Jodhpur District and sessions court dismissed the Rajasthan government’s plea against him. The Rajasthan government had accused the actor of submitting a fake affidavit regarding the license for arms in 2003.
After the news of getting relief from the poaching case was out, Salman Khan took to social media and shared a photo of himself on Instagram and wrote, “To all my fans.. thank u for your love support n concern. Khayal rakho apna n parivaar ka (Take care of yourself and your family). God bless n loveee u too.”

Here’s what people on social media have to say about Salman Khan getting relief from the case that he was fighting since the year 2003-
We love you sir

— Yasmin (@BeingLove55) February 11, 2021 The judge of the case was Judge Raghavendra Kachwal and he took the decision around 3:30, in which he said, "The PIL has no strong grounds.”
Also, Salman Khan was present in the hearing through video conferencing.
For the unversed, Salman Khan was arrested in the year 1998 for killing two blackbucks in a village near Jodhpur. It was the same village where he was shooting for Sooraj Barjatya’s Hum Saath Saath Hai. A case under the Arms Act was registered against him and the court had demanded the submission of his arms license. However, in 2003, he told the court that his license had gone missing and the prosecution fought that he had submitted a false affidavit as he had now submitted his license for renewal.

Mumbai-born pacer and son of the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun Tendulkar qualified for the upcoming auction for the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League at a Rs. 20 lakh base-price.
On Thursday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) put across a tally of 292 shortlisted cricketers from all over the world out of 1114 players who had submitted their names and respective base-prices with the hopes of entering the most lucrative T20 league in the world.
Am so damn excited for Arjun Tendulkar let's see which jersey he'll wear https://t.co/tPQXEpBOGy
— Sneha🇮🇳 (@Shinde25sneha) February 12, 2021
For Tendulkar Junior, the minimum criteria to qualify for the mini-auction was met when he made his Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy debut for his hometown earlier this year against the Haryana side.
While on one side, the story of the rise of a young athlete is in its initial chapters, almost simultaneously, yet another cricketer’s tale of absolute heartbreak has his fans mushy-eyed.
Veteran Kerala pacer Sreesanth reportedly failed to qualify for the IPL auction after coming back to playing competitive cricket following a seven-year ban on spot-fixing charges during the 2013 season of the tournament.
Sreesanth ignored for IPL 2021 auction
READ: https://t.co/geIjHzGrhk#Sreesanth #IPLAuction #IPLAuction2021 pic.twitter.com/AimKm0GvgD
— TOI Sports (@toisports) February 12, 2021
According to News18, the 38-year old could not make it to the auction as none of the eight franchises of the league were interested in having him onboard.
Many believed that his age must be a leading factor for the predicament but with a 42-year old Nayan Doshi making it through to the list of 292 candidates for a base-price of Rs. 20 lakh, without a scratch we can be certain that isn’t the case.
So it might be Sreesanth’s unrealistic base-price of Rs. 75 lakh that might have rubbed the franchise owners the wrong way, rendering him out of hope for playing in the 14th edition of the league.
Sreesanth said "I am disappointed not to be part of the final list of players in IPL auction - will be keep fighting, if I can wait for 8 years then I can wait for some more time, I am not giving up".
— Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) February 12, 2021
“I am disappointed not to be part of the final list of players in IPL auction - will be keep fighting, if I can wait for 8 years then I can wait for some more time, I am not giving up," the cricketer said via his Instagram story.
And even though any one of the above mentioned reasons could be the cause of Sreesanth not getting shortlisted, some fans are calling out the Indian cricket board for supporting the “privileged” and overlooking the helpless.
Arjun Tendulkar shortlisted for IPL auction. But Sreesanth is out. I know both of them are shit bowlers. But 'privilege' helped one.

The Centre is looking to start regulating social media and OTT streaming services after it prepared draft rules for platforms including news-related sites. The list includes major OTT services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar and others. The new move comes after the government asked social media website Twitter to ban and remove some accounts that were tweeting with dissent against the Centre and in support of the farmers’ protest.

According to a report by NDTV , the new rules will include a code of ethics and need for a chief compliance officer who will respond on a 24X7 basis to any complaints from law enforcement agencies. The officer will also be required to submit regular reports on compliance and there will also be a grievance redressal mechanism portal and an oversight mechanism to “coordinate adherence to Code of Ethics by publishers and self-regulating bodies.”
In case of emergencies, a Secretary-rank officer will be able to take action and will also need to place it before a committee within 48 hours. Websites, OTT services and social media platforms will also be required to remove flagged content within 36 hours.

Twitter was recently under fire by the Indian Government after the Centre asked for the removal of accounts and content “in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India.” Twitter did initially deactivate accounts but overturned its decision and restored the accounts after the social media giant was met with uproar from free speech advocates. Twitter finally blocked some 700 accounts in India but did not act on “accounts that consist of news media entities, journalists, activists, and politicians.”
Yesterday, the Central Government warned Twitter of severe consequences for failure to crack down on flagged and inflammatory content.

Information Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad replied to a question regarding the matter in Rajya Sabha that social media companies “cannot give differential treatment while handling problems on Capitol Hill and the Red Fort.” “Please don’t spread enmity, violence and misinformation. Please follow the Constitution of India and the law of the land (otherwise we will be very strict),” he added.
What do you think about the Centre regulating social media, OTT platforms and other websites? Do you think this move is required or does it hurt free speech in the country? Let us know in the comments what you think.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India or the BCCI is known for making headlines with their fitness tests on more than one occasion and has not failed to seek the fans’ attention this time around as well.
According to a report by Times of India, the Indian cricket board introduced a new 2-km run fitness test and which led to many known cricketers unable to meet the passing criteria.
Six cricketers fail BCCI’s new 2km-run fitness test https://t.co/hN0sP59Nad
— TOI Sports News (@TOISportsNews) February 12, 2021
The report confirms that six Indian cricketers namely wicket-keeper batsmen Sanju Samson, and Ishan Kishan, Rahul Tewatia, Nitish Rana and Siddarth Kaul and Jaydev Unadkat ended up failing the test which was introduced at Bengaluru’s National Cricket Academy (NCA) which is currently under the administration of Indian batting legend, Rahul Dravid.
“Since this is a new type of a fitness test, they will all get a second chance to clear it at a fresh date, after some gap. However, if they fail to clear it, then it puts their selection for the forthcoming white-ball series comprising five T20Is and three ODIs against England at home in doubt,” a source told TOI confirming that those who couldn’t clear the test in the first try will get another opportunity, a common process while conducting fitness tests.

“A few fitness tests were conducted for around 20-odd cricketers who are in the reckoning for the limited-overs series against England at home, and for the T20 World Cup in India later this year. Among these tests was the now-famous yo-yo test and the new ‘2km run’ fitness test.
“In this test, a batsman, wicketkeeper, or a spinner has to complete the two-kilometre distance in eight minutes and 30 seconds, while for a fast bowler, the benchmark is eight minutes and 15 seconds. Six of the players failed to clear these tests. Some players barely managed to complete the run,” the source added.

The shocking outcome of test led to the fans of Men in Blue raising an interesting question about a few of the active members of the current roster which is in the middle of the four-match Test series against a touring England side at Chennai’s Chepauk stadium - How many of the current Team India players will be able to run two kilometers straight?
What about rishabh pant. He can run 2 kimoleters???

Last month, the Indian cricket team went through one of the gruelling series in the history of international Test, suffered the loss of some big names of the roster to injuries and personal issues and still someone managed to come up victorious at the end of the four matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The fans of the team were head over heels for the Men in Blue who not only won the trophy for the second consecutive time, but also broke Australia’s 33-year old undefeated streak at the Brisbane Cricket Ground in the fourth and final Test.

However, they also found another significant fan of the game in Australian cricket journalist Chloe Amanda Bailey, who quickly became famous within the Indian cricket community thanks to her cheeky and hilarious tweets throughout the series.

As a way of closely interacting with Indian fans, she’d often tweet in Hindi and used to garner a lot of engagement and thanks to social media platforms such as Twitter, her fame quickly grew as the series progressed.
It wasn’t too long before she was honoured with the rank of “bhabhi” by our young and eccentric Bleed Blue army and quickly became the talk of the town.

— ️ (@I_S_J_U_K) February 11, 2021Soon the journalist herself began to see the trend and ended up asking for followers why and how she’d become everyone’s ‘bhabhi’ and more importantly who the ‘bhaiya’ was.

— Chloe-Amanda Bailey (@ChloeAmandaB) February 11, 2021Now with the historic India-Australia clash behind us, the Men in Blue are currently in a bit of a predicament at home while in the middle of the four-match Test series against the touring England side.
The first of four matches which took place at Chennai’s Chepauk stadium went against the hosts’ wishes right from the beginning when Virat Kohli lost the toss and was made to bowl first.
