    Wasim Jaffer is in the news again, but not for his rib-tickling Twitter humour. 
    The former India opener finds himself at the centre of a controversy over his tenure as coach of the Uttarakhand cricket team. 
    While Jaffer resigned earlier this week citing interference from state cricket board officials, he's now been accused of adopting a 'communal' approach while picking players in the team for the recently-concluded T20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

    That's not all, it has also been alleged that Jaffer demanded that a 'Maulavi be allowed inside the bio bubble to administer Namaz' for players.

    Given the nature of allegations, it was only obvious that action moved to Twitter with instant outrage propelling Jaffer to the top as a trending topic. 
    Typically, there were more allegations, muck-raking and conspiracy theories, until the legendary Mumbai opener finally took matters into his own hands and put forth certain clarifications.

    "I recommended Jay Bista for captaincy not Iqbal but CAU officials favoured Iqbal. I did not invite Maulavis, " he said countering allegations of him being communal. Jaffer also reiterated the reason for his exit. "I resigned cos bias of selectors-secretary for non-deserving players". 

    He also cleared the air around reports of him having changed the team chant. "Team used to say a chant of Sikh community, I suggested we can say "Go Uttarakhand"," Jaffer added.

    While a section continued to attack Jaffer, plenty of support poured in for the former cricketer on the social microblogging site.
    Wasim, you are most honest and fair, a genuine sportsman. That's the beauty of genuine sportsperson, they are above any regional or communal bias. that's why we find peace at the Maidans, because of the genuineness. You don't need to explain anything to anybody
    — Sanjjeev (@Sanjjeev) February 11, 2021Wasim, thanks for putting out the facts as is. This is the third time in three years of Uttarakhand's existence as a cricket team that the coach of the senior men's team has changed midway. Tells us all we need to know about the system currently. Sad.
    — Shashank Kishore (@captainshanky) February 10, 2021
    Wasim, opening batting has been your religion. You don't need to defend yourself. Stay calm and shoulder arms to anything that is outside the offstump. Needless to say, you knew where your offstump was,more often than not.

    Some former cricketers too backed Jaffer. Former India pacer Dodda Ganesh was first out of the blocks.
    Dear @WasimJaffer14, you’ve been a great ambassador of the game and represented India with pride. Cannot believe that this could happen to someone like you. You’re a gem of a cricketer and human, brother. Cricket world knows you and your integrity. https://t.co/wZFPPmOVa3
    — ದೊಡ್ಡ ಗಣೇಶ್ | Dodda Ganesh (@doddaganesha) February 11, 2021However, many fans wondered why some of Indian cricket's big names were not being vocal about one of their own. That's when one of Indian cricket's biggest icons made his presence felt. 

    Anil Kumble, widely regarded for his integrity, reached out to Jaffer with a message.

    With you Wasim. Did the right thing. Unfortunately it’s the players who’ll miss your mentor ship.
    — Anil Kumble (@anilkumble1074) February 11, 2021Kumble's timely intervention in the matter was applauded by fans, with many calling other A-list cricketers to take a stand in this matter. 

    Jaffer, who scored heaps of runs in domestic cricket, has surprised fans with his post-retirement Twitter avatar. 
    His humorous take on all things cricket, especially during the recently concluded India-Australia series has made quite an impression on cricketer lovers.

    Dogs are the most loyal creatures and one needs to learn from them how to love people and stay loyal. And an incident that took place amidst the recent flash floods in Uttarakhand is testimony that dogs are the most loyal of all species. 

    Recently, a two-year-old Bhutia breed dog named Blackie was found waiting outside the Tapovan dam tunnel that was demolished by the flash floods as a result of the glacier burst.
    © Unsplash
    The adorable dog has been sitting at the same spot for the past three days as he is waiting for the return of the workers who fed him and took care of him.

    Blackie was born near the area where the Hydel project of the NTPC was being developed. He grew up around the workers who worked at the project site and he used to come to meet them in the morning and then go back down the hill.
    He usually would follow this routine and when on Sunday he went back up there, he couldn’t find any of the employees who used to pet him.
    © BCCL
    A resident named Ajeet Kumar told TOI, "He must have realized something was amiss. The place was full of strangers who paid no attention to him. Blackie used to laze around close to the project site.”

    Another worker Rajendra Kumar said, “We would give him food, a sack to sleep on when we worked. Blackie would be around during the day and leave in the evening when we did.”
    Not only this, but the teams also tried to shoo him away while the rescue operation was going on but he did not go and kept coming back to check for his friends. The local onlookers also noticed the presence of Blackie there and expressed that he was devastated and anxious throughout.
    © Unsplash
    Currently, the local people from around the area are looking after him and we hope the rescue team will find the workers.

    Earlier, the landslide in Kerala’s Munnar swept the houses of 81 people, and the pictures that came after were devastating and heartbreaking to another level. But, images of Kuvi, a country dog searching for his loved ones among the debris was even more shattering.
    Even days after the disaster, Kuvi led the search and rescue team then found the body of a two-and-a-half-year-old girl who was missing.
    The dog found the body of Dhanuska, whose family was the owner of the dog. The body of the little girl was found stuck in the debris in a river and had reached 4Kms away from the landslide spot.
    Aren’t dogs just extremely loving? Let us know in the comments section below!

    For those of you who don't know, CD Projekt Red, the studio behind Cyberpunk 2077, was hacked recently and the hackers got away with a bunch of valuable code. We're talking about source codes of games like Cyberpunk 2077 , Witcher 3, and more.
    The hackers did say that they'll be leaking/selling the codes online if CD Projekt Red failed to meet their ransom demands. Well, it has started to happen now. The source code stolen by the hackers from CD Projekt Red has started appearing online.
    This was noted by the cybersecurity account vx-underground. Here, check it out -
    CD Projekt Red's ransomed data has been leaked online. pic.twitter.com/T4Zzqfn78F
    — vx-underground (@vxunderground) February 10, 2021  This initial leak is believed to include the source code of the CDPR's virtual card game Gwent. And on top of this leak, vx-underground has mentioned that auctions for the more valuable source code were happening on a hacking forum known as Exploit. There's no confirmation on that yet, and CDPR isn't commenting on this matter either.
    A cybersecurity firm called KELA, which specializes in providing threat intelligence to companies based on analysis of dark web websites and communities, noted that it has reason to believe the actions are indeed happening.
    “We do believe that this is a real auction by a real seller who accessed the data. The seller offers to use a guarantor and he allows only those who have a deposit to participate — a tactic that is used by many sellers to show that they are serious and to ensure that no scam will occur,” KELA said.
    Update: a mistake was made. They stated starting bid $1kk. This was assumed as a typo for $1,000. They meant $1,000,000. They are also selling immediately for $7,000,000.

    Attached images supplied by @DrFurfagMD pic.twitter.com/JnOcwnGqZk
    — vx-underground (@vxunderground) February 10, 2021KELA said one of their threat intelligence analysts was able to acquire some information from an individual claiming to be involved with the auctions. KELA says the auction is offering source code files for both the Red Engine and CDPR game releases, including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales spinoff, and the recently released Cyberpunk 2077.
    Well, if it isn't obvious already, this is a serious issue for CDPR. We're talking source code of very popular video games. Acquiring these source code may enable the involved parties to come up with exploits and target the players who are playing them. The source code files are being auctioned with a starting bid of $1 million and they're even ready to sell immediately for $7 million.

    If there's one Bollywood actor who doesn't get bothered by the ongoing trends, fads, and weird aesthetics, it is Saif Ali Khan. 
    While most actors are rarely seen twice in the same outfit and believe in constantly switching things up, Saif Ali Khan is not the same. He doesn't mind being spotted by the paps in his regular PJs or one of the classic white kurtas that he wears on the regular. 
    We believe, that over the years, Saif Ali Khan has developed a distinct signature style. Sticking to classic silhouettes and timeless trends, his aesthetic remains unhinged by seasonal fads. 
    In fact, a recent outfit proves just that. Take a look at this outfit he wore recently that he wore.
    © Viral Bhayani
    © Viral Bhayani
    Saif Ali Khan was seen wearing a white cotton short kurta with white pants. 

    He finished the look with a red bandana he doubled up as a mask as he wore it around his face. He also wore matching white espadrilles. 
    Saif Ali Khan is a huge fan of espadrilles and has a pair in almost every colour. He then smartly pairs his outfits with a pair of espadrilles from his vast shoe collection that complements the outfit perfectly. 
    Case in point this particular outfit. Take a look at the espadrilles right here:
    © Viral Bhayani

    Espadrilles are extremely versatile and can be dressed up and down easily. If you wish to get a pair that looks exactly like Saif's, you could check this out:

    __ECOMPRODUCT__580__
    The pair, too, is available in almost every colour. Coming back to Saif Ali Khan's outfit, the whole aesthetic together resembled a goofy 'desi pirate' if you think about it. 
    While face masks are the need of the hour, and people are getting creative with their masks every single day. There is something about a bandana being worn as a face mask that makes it badass evidently.
    On the work front, Saif Ali Khan will now be working on films like Bhoot Police with Arjun Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Om Raut's Adipurush, Bunty Aur Babli 2 with Rani Mukherjee, and lastly, Go Goa Gone 2 with Kunal Kemmu and Vir Das.

    Mohit Suri’s 2014 film Ek Villain is all set to come back with a sequel. The film’s sequel is said to release in theatres on February 11, 2022. Also, the film is titled Ek Villain Returns and the action-thriller will feature actors John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria in the lead roles.
    Not only this, John Abraham took to Twitter and shared the first look of the film and wrote, “Iss kahaani ka hero, villain hai!#EkVillainReturns, 11th Feb, 2022.”
    Check out the post here-
    Iss kahaani ka hero, villain hai! #EkVillainReturns, 11th Feb, 2022@ektarkapoor #BhushanKumar @mohit11481 #ShobhaKapoor @RuchikaaKapoor @arjunk26 @DishPatani @TaraSutaria @amul_mohan @balajimotionpic @TSeries #BalajiMotionPictures pic.twitter.com/tARGGj0L4L

    Mohit Suri said in a statement, “Ek Villain was my passion project and a labor of love. The kind of love that I still receive for ‘Ek Villain’ overwhelms me. I am sure with ‘Ek Villain Returns’, the love is only going to grow bigger. And while I cannot reveal much about the film, I can assure you that it is going to be a thrilling rollercoaster ride."
    The first part Ek Villain featured Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha Kapoor, and Riteish Deshmukh in the lead role and was a revenge drama that revolved around a criminal whose wife was murdered by a serial killer.


    In the film, Sidharth Malhotra plays the role of a gangster Guru whose life changes after he falls in love with Aisha (Shradha Kapoor) and then decides to walk on the right path. But, then Aisha gets murdered by a serial killer and then Guru once again begins to search for the murderer who killed Aisha.
    Here’s what people on the internet have to say about the film’s sequel-
    Arjun Kapoor still getting films is depressing

    Producer Boney Kapoor is extremely upset over the upcoming clash between his much-awaited sports-drama Maidaan starring Ajay Devgn, and director SS Rajamouli’s historical drama, Roudram Ranam Rudhiram (RRR). 
    © Facebook_RRR
    In a recent interview, Kapoor lashed out at Rajamouli alleging lack of camaraderie among Indian filmmakers. 

    Here’s What He Said 
    “The clash between RRR and Maidaan is very unfortunate and at the same time, it is unethical,” Boney Kapoor told Forbes. 
    The Background 
    For the unversed, Maidaan was earlier scheduled to hit the theatres in August this year. 
    However, the completion of the production got delayed due to the nationwide lockdown owing to the COVID-19 global health scare. 
    This forced the filmmakers to move the release date to October 15, coinciding with Dussehra holiday. 
    © BCCL
    Boney Kapoor refused to let Rajamouli off the hook accusing him of “strong-arm tactics and bullying.” He claimed that the slated box office clash of these films will further add to woes of the film industry, which has already been ravaged by the Covid-19 induced disruption. 

    RRR Cast & Crew 
    Other than Jr NTR and Ram Charan, the ensemble cast of RRR also includes Alia Bhatt, Samuthirakani, Olivia Morris, Alison Doody and Ray Stevenson. 
    If not for the pandemic, RRR would have released in January this year. The film has been in the production since 2018. 
    Which one are you excited to watch on the silver screen?

    Yesterday, we all laughed together at people campaigning to get Twitter banned ON Twitter because, sure, that makes perfect sense. 
    Yes, using a platform to get that same platform banned in your country just because they want to give people freedom of speech is a totally rational thing to happen recently.
    But since there has been so much controversy surrounding Twitter, especially after the company didn't fully comply with the Indian government's order to block multiple accounts, the government has also weighed in on the Twitter debate.

    Ravi Shankar Prasad, currently serving as the Union Electronics and Information Technology Minister, discussed the matter in the Parliament today and talked about the consequences of spreading fake news and inciting violence using social media.

    After sharing the advantages of social media in India, how it has empowered the common man, he also mentioned that the misuse of it will lead to tough action.
    We respect social media a lot, it has empowered common people. Social media has a big role in Digital India programme. However, if social media is misused to spread fake news, violence then action will be taken: Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in Rajya Sabha pic.twitter.com/M2NTIrh1ia
    — ANI (@ANI) February 11, 2021
    Specifically talking about  Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn in the Rajya Sabha, the Union Minister said "you have millions of followers in India, you are free to do business and make money, but you will have to follow the Indian constitution". 
    While what actions would be taken is unclear, both left and right-leaning people have already come up with lists of people spreading 'fake news' on Twitter and want them banned. A lot of people are still continuing with the Ban Twitter hashtag from yesterday.

    Everyone is on radar, you have been given Freedom of Speech but people are using Freedom of Spoech to abuse Freedom of Speech. That's not right, Twitter has to follow Law of Land.

    Koo, India’s alternative to Twitter that is offered in multiple regional languages has been accused of exposing users’ personal data. The apparent problem was discovered by French security researcher Robert Baptiste who revealed his findings on Twitter. According to Baptiste, he spent 30 minutes on Koo at the request of his followers and found the app was exposing sensitive information of its users. Details such as names, gender, email addresses and more were revealed to be left vulnerable by the application. 
    You asked so I did it. I spent 30 min on this new Koo app. The app is leaking of the personal data of his users: email, dob, name, marital status, gender, ... https://t.co/87Et18MrOg pic.twitter.com/qzrXeFBW0L
    — Elliot Alderson (@fs0c131y) February 10, 2021Baptiste shared screenshots on Twitter which shows that it was fairly easy for him to get personal information of Koo users. He said the app leaks personal data of its users with other information such as DOB, marital status and email details. Koo’s domain is also not registered in India but instead in the US with the registrant based in China. 
    © KooApp
    Koo currently is being touted as the alternative to Twitter as the app offers features almost identical to Twitter. Koo’s unique selling point is having support for regional languages which gives it an advantage over Twitter. However, in our usage, the app is not as intuitive to use as basic sections such as ‘Trending’ take a very long time to load. Koo describes itself as an app "built for Indians to share their views in their mother tongue and have meaningful discussions. Discussions are around interesting topics. It empowers people to express their thoughts in Indian languages with a strong-knit local Indian community.”

    If the title made you click on the story, you already are aware of what we are talking about here. Yes, you guessed it right. KANGANA...once again! 
    Actor Nakuul Mehta recently shared a video of iconic actress Meryl Streep, giving a politically charged speech at the 2017 Golden Globe awards. 
    © Reuters
    He joked that the woman in the video wasn't Meryl, but Kangana Ranaut in disguise. (LOL!) 

    His savage jibe for the Queen actress comes after Kangana compared herself to Meryl and set off a flurry of online outrage. 
    Well, sharing the video, which has been going viral on Twitter, Nakuul wrote, "This is NOT Meryl Streep. This is Kangana Ranaut playing Meryl so wonderfully. #RawTalent."

    In her 2017 speech, the three-time Oscar-winner speaks about the changing political landscape. 
    The speech was made weeks after Donald Trump's election as president of the United States. The Devil Wears Prada actor spoke about Hollywood being made up of outsiders and immigrants. 
    Here’s how people on Twitter reacted to the video shared by Nakuul: 
    Hahahahahaha. I spotted a bit of Gal Gadot in that performance. Big giveaway.

    Here’s how it all started. 
    Kangana, in a tweet earlier this week, had said that she has the 'raw talent' of Meryl Streep and challenged anyone to prove that she was a less skilled actor than her. 
    © Phanton-Films
    Later, she suggested that Meryl, who holds the record for the most number of Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, could never pull off a film like Queen. 

    "Pls prove my claims wrong or illogical, will accept my statements as gloating disorder, if you can’t then you too have to accept, in this world of mediocre hyenas who will do anything to look through genuine talent Modesty is not good not at the cost of HONESTY. Snatch your due," she'd written.
    Pls prove my claims wrong or illogical, will accept my statements as gloating disorder, if you can’t then you too have to accept, in this world of mediocre hyenas who will do anything to look through genuine talent Modesty is not good not at the cost of HONESTY. Snatch your due. https://t.co/MA6hT7Pdxh
    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) February 9, 2021
    Seemingly in response, actor Richa Chadha shared a checklist for narcissistic personality disorder, and 'signs of a sociopath', without naming anyone. 
    Actor Ishaan Khatter shared a quote by Meryl, which she made in a 2006 address at Princeton University. The quote reads, "My achievement, if you can call it that, is that I've basically pretended to be extraordinary people my entire life, and now I'm being mistaken for one." 
    I am open for debate if anyone can show me more range and brilliance of craft than me by any other actress on this planet I promise to give up my arrogance, until then I can surely afford the luxury of pride #Thalaivi #Dhaakad pic.twitter.com/0RXB1FcM43
    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) February 9, 2021
    Kangana also compared herself to Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, said that she is a better stunt performer than Tom Cruise, and later, drew parallels between herself and Marlon Brando. 
    Well, what are your thoughts on Kangana’s claims? Agree with Nakuul Mehta here? Tell us what you think in the space below.
