    We know the pandemic still has most of us pinned inside our homes but we can't help but feel like reconsidering the necessity of in-person work. It first started with Microsoft's building inspired by the Taj Mahal and now we have this very unique-looking building from Amazon.
    Amazon unveiled designs for its new Arlington, Virginia-based outpost and it features a very wild-looking tower called the 'Helix'. It's a 350ft structure that's covered with trees and plants running around like green ribbons.
    Amazon calls this building 'Helix' because its corkscrew shape is supposed to take inspiration from "the natural beauty of a double helix." Well, that's what Amazon says, but most people, on Twitter and other social media platforms, are wondering if it looks more like ice-cream or a poop emoji.
    Here, check it out -

    On the inside, the building has a variety of different work environments that the employees can use. On the outside, the company says there'll be two sets of spiraling paths filled with local plants that you'll literally be able to hike up. It looks like it's going to be a steep hike since we're talking about a vertical structure. Amazon will let outsiders visit the place on weekends once it's complete, so that's awesome.

    This, by the way, isn't the only unique structure Amazon will flaunt. The company also has a similar structure that stands out at its Seattle headquarters. There, it has three spheres surrounded by greenery.
    The Helix, in case you are wondering, is just a proposal for now and it'll need some local approval before the construction can begin. The building and surrounding campus were designed by the architecture firm NBBJ. The company is also planning to have a huge campus around it with room for retail stores and restaurants.

    It'll be interesting to see how this building will take shape in the future. It may very well end up being one of the best workspaces in the world, if not the only one. We'll keep an eye on the updates regarding its construction and revert with more info.

    February 3 2018 was the day the U-19 Indian cricket team further contributed towards the nation’s journey to becoming the most successful squad in the history of the Under-19 World Cup.
    A young roster led by skipper Prithvi Shaw found themselves to be in clash with Jason Sangha’s Australian side in the finals at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand. 

    Having won the toss, the Aussies chose to bat first and stiched a decent 216-run total in 47.2 overs before getting their entire batting order getting wrapped up against a strong Indian bowling attack spearheaded by Shiva Singh and his 2/36 performance with the ball.
    However, the dominating ‘Boys in Blue’ who had remained undefeated against teams like Papua New Guinea, Zimbabwe and Australia themselves, during the Group Stage of the tournament were able to comfortably chase the target in less than 39 overs behind a 101-run innings by Manjot Kalra which earned him the ‘Man of the Match’ title in the final.
    #OnThisDay in 2018, India won the U19 Cricket World Cup for the fourth time.

    Another superstar which saw the first gleam of international success during this tournament is the current opener for the Indian Test cricket team and youth-icon Shubman Gill who was drafted into the U-19 side as the deputy in command behind Shaw.
    Gill was outstanding during the entire tournament and has scored 372 runs with an outstanding average of 124.00 while playing at the number three spot in the Indian batting lineup. 
    Shubman Gill, Player of the Tournament at #U19CWC, just made his maiden T20 fifty in #IPL2018. "That boy is special," says Dinesh Karthik.

    Although he got dismissed for 31 in the final, Gill had just struck an unbeaten 102-run innings in the semi-final match against Pakistan which further established his case as a batting prodigy and earned him praises from some of the biggest legends of the game including Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and the present President of the BCCI, Sourav Ganguly. Gill was also named the ‘Player of the Tournament’.
    Speaking of legends, winning the fourth U-19 World Cup became the biggest achievement of Rahul Dravid as the head coach of the young team.

    It also turned out to be amongst the last few feats Dravid would earn at this position as a year later he would be made the head of the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore and was going to be replaced as the head coach of the U-19 and India A team.

    One of the biggest events in the calendar of the Indian cricket team is about to start in a couple of days against Joe Root and the England squad with the first of four-Test series set to take place in Chennai from February 5, 2021.
    Given the gravity of the clash, which basically decides whether or not the Men in Blue will qualify for the World Test Championship finals, it requires some of the top names of Team India like skipper Virat Kohli and opener Rohit Sharma to unite forces and guide their side to victory.
    The BCCI recently shared pictures and videos from the Team India’s practice session ahead of the first Test against England during which both Kohli and Sharma were seen putting in the work at The Chepauk stadium in Chennai.

    — BCCI (@BCCI) February 1, 2021
    However, overanxious fans of the squad were extremely worried about the fact that very few pictures were taken of the two cricketers actually practicing together.
    Is everything alright between them?
    Can you provide their latest hugging or talking picture or videos..

    — Cricket Comali (@CricComali) February 1, 2021Due to a chain of unusual circumstances over the past one year, the irony remains that the two legends have not played a single game of cricket together for over 12 months.
    The last time Kohli and Sharma had shared the ground as teammates was all the way back on January 29, 2020 when Team India was in New Zealand and had won the third of five T20I matches on the final delivery of a nail-biting super-over clash.

    — BHARAT AT BARMERA (@Barmerab98) January 29, 2020
    Since then, injuries, personal issues and the coronavirus pandemic have kept the two ace-men from playing an international match for the same side. 
    It's been 12 months since Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma last played together #RohitSharma #ViratKohli pic.twitter.com/VJeJ7t0c2S
    — Rohit Sharma Fan Club (@Im_Ro45FC) February 1, 2021
    This includes India’s latest tour of Australia in which Sharma was recovering from a hamstring injury and was in quarantine during the entirety of the ODI and T20I series and the first-two Tests at the Adelaide Oval and Melbourne Cricket Ground, respectively.
    The Adelaide Test also happened to be Kohli’s final match of the tour after which he’d come back to India for the birth of his daughter, Vamika.
    Throwback To Rumoured Rift Between Virat Kohli And Rohit SharmaIn 2019, rumours of a locker room rift between Sharma and Kohli had flooded the Indian cricket fraternity but both of them shunned everything as “lies”.
    Virat Kohli came down heavily on the speculations of a rift between him and Rohit Sharma, striking down several media reports that have been doing the rounds as 'baffling' and 'ridiculous'.

    "We are feeding off lies. We are overlooking facts. We are turning a blind eye to all the good things that has (sic) happened. We are creating fantasies and scenarios in our head and want to accept that this is the truth," Kohli had said in a press conference ahead of a West Indies series in 2019.
    "I have seen this for too long now. Bringing personal lives into the picture. It's disrespectful after a moment. There is nothing between me and Rohit," Kohli said.
    "There is No Rift between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Absolute nonsense. Rohit Sharma himself opted out in the Limited Over Series and wanted to play the Test Series. So nothing politics and Rifts in Indian cricket."

    “When all these things were being written about, few of my friends came and told me and believe me or not, I was just laughing. But then it went on and on and they dragged my family and that was not on. You talk about me but don't drag my family as they genuinely don't care about anything else. I think even Virat (Kohli) must have felt the same way as families are an important aspect of our lives," Sharma had told PTI in January 2020.

    Not only this, but Kangana Ranaut also took to Twitter and reacted to Rihanna’s post to support the farmers’ protest.
    She has been supporting the farm laws introduced by the government and called Rihanna a fool for supporting the protests.
    She wrote, “No one is talking about it because they are not farmers they are terrorists who are trying to divide India so that China can take over our vulnerable broken nation and make it a Chinese colony much like USA... Sit down you fool, we are not selling our nation like you dummies.”

    Ayushmann Khurrana knows very well how to completely immerse himself into the characters that he plays. Nowhere is this any clearer than his getups for his films.
    Recently, Ayushmann shared his look from his upcoming film Anek, being directed by Anubhav Sinha, and the first thing we have to say is that Ayushmann looks rather dope as Joshua, the character he is slated to play.
    © Instagram/ayushmannk
    While not a lot of is known about the film’s plot, and characters, what we do know, is that the film is based is Kaziranga in Assam, and like all of Sinha’s films of late, it will be a cracker of a film.

    Coming to Ayushmann’s look for the film, we have to admit, the vibe that one gets from his look is eerily similar to that of Danny Archer, played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2006 film, Blood Diamond.
    © Warner Bros. Pictures
    We like how the hairstyle and the beard give away the brutal and tough setting in which the film is based. The shoddy looking, jarring haircut, further adds to the rugged appeal that Ayushmann is going for.

    © Instagram/ayushmannk
    The haphazard manner in which the crewcut he went for is executed makes it look like his character has cut his own hair. If this is indeed the case, we have to admit, that the choppiness of the hairstyle, further adds to the jarring and rugged appeal.

    © Instagram/ayushmannk
    We also like the way his beard looks rather distinct. The jarring-quality with which his beard meets his sideburns is also super dope.

    Then, there is the scar on his right eyebrow. Not only does it look super cool, it again, but also adds to the ruggedness of Ayushmann’s character. 
    © Instagram/ayushmannk
    Normally, in the films where he has kept his beard, Ayushmann has groomed it meticulously well. His beard styles tend to be neat, properly defined, and within proper lines. 

    © AA Films
    For this film, his beard lacks that same attention to detail, and definition, which further takes away from the urban and sophisticated aesthetic that the filmmakers are trying to get rid off. 

    We also like the fact that he has decided to keep the greys in his beard, just as they are. We think more actors need to embrace their greys, even if it is for a character they are playing.
    © Instagram/ayushmannk
    All in all, Ayushmann looks rather swell as Joshua. It would be interesting to see how many of these visual cues from Ayushmann’s look actually correspond to plot points in the film.

    With the India-England Test series just two days away, the fans of the hosting sides can’t wait to see their team back in action, especially with the confidence they brought along from Australia with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, following a historic victory at the Brisbane Cricket Ground.
    Some of the biggest names of the Indian cricket squad including skipper Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah will once again be reuniting with the roster after being ruled out of the Australia series due to personal reasons or injuries, making the broken and limping Men in Blue whole again.
    Incredible moment for India as they lift the trophy #AUSvIND

    Now that the team is back in full strength and is hosting a Test series at home, albeit against a mighty opposition in Joe Root and his Englishmen, they are still being favoured as the heavy favourites and are expected to cruise past to victory.
    But if we learnt anything from the Australia series, it is that cricket can be a tricky game and tables can turn on the favourites at any point in time, even if everything else seems to be working in their favour.
    So, just to be sure, the superstitious members of the ‘Bleed Blue’ army are approaching former England captain and commentator Michael Vaughan for his ‘reverse good luck charm’.
    Come Mr Michael please predict England is winning the test series against India by a margin of 4-0
    — rohit lakhotia (@lakrohit1983) January 22, 2021You predict Australia will win by 4-0 but India won, now you predict India will win by 3-0 and thinking that England will win, but this time you are right
    — Ashutosh Singh (@ashutoshchand82) January 21, 2021Your opinion doesn't matter to us..as ur prediction of 4-0 went in vain..now predict about England vs India der are coming for u.. Mikey
    — Stalin Nadar (@stalingunners) January 21, 2021Just thinking would @MichaelVaughan also predict the result of England vs India test series. I hope he will say 4-0 win to India this time. But If he has any doubt that England could win against India then nobody is a bigger fool then him !!
    — ImDDanger (@JaiswalVarrnit) January 20, 2021Yes please also predict for the upcoming England tour of india support your team and wish them to white wash india with 4-0 then you will know your magical powers what you have to predict anyone
    — Manvendra (@Manvend47926929) January 19, 2021Why Do Indian Fans Want Vaughan To Predict Against Their Team?After India lost the first ODI match Down Under by 66 runs, Vaughan made a bold statement about how the Men in Blue will end up “convincingly” losing to the Aussies in all formats of the game.
    Early call ... I think Australia will beat India this tour in all formats convincingly ... #AUSvIND
    — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) November 27, 2020
    However, after losing the ODI series, Virat Kohli’s side went on to win the T20I series following which an Ajinkya Rahane-led team dominated the Test series and retained the trophy 2-1 by breaking Australia’s 33-year old undefeated record at the Gabba, despite struggling to put together a decent and well experienced Playing XI.
    Once the series concluded, Vaughan had no excuse but to accept how wrong his prediction was and even said that Team India showed immense character and skill leaving him with “egg on my face”.
    Wow .. That has to go down as one of the greatest if not the greatest Test victory of all time !! Egg on my face over here in the UK .. but I love to see character & skill .. India have it in abundance .. btw @RealShubmanGill & @RishabhPant17 are future superstars ! #AUSvIND

    The captain of the Indian cricket team in all formats of the game, Virat Kohli is finally back with his squad after taking a paternity leave from his duties during India’s tour of Australia after the first of four Test matches at the Adelaide Oval.
    On Tuesday, the official Twitter account of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a wonderful video of the team practicing at The Chepauk while preparing for the first Test in Chennai against the touring England side which starts from February 5, 2021.

    In the video, the skipper could be seen getting back in the swing of things while also having a fun time warming up and playing football with his teammates.
    However, there was this one moment in the video which got the attention of most of the fans of the Men in Blue. 
    Around the 27 second mark of the video, a jolly Kohli could be seen shadow-practicing one of the most iconic shots in the history of Indian cricket - the famous ‘Helicopter Shot’ which was obviously popularised by the former captain of the team and recently retired international cricket, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

    — Virat Kohli TFC (@ViratKohliTFC) February 2, 2021
    The scenes immediately reminded the fans of the legendary wicket-keeper batsman who is considered by many as the most (or second most) successful captain of the team and was known for his unorthodox ways and the unbelieve might with which he used to bat.
    Many even call Kohli to be one of the biggest fans of ‘Mahi’ and feel that he adores the Chennai Super Kings marquee player a lot.
    VK is Biggest MSdian.

    — 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 (@oyehappy) February 2, 2021
    Reuniting with the team after the historic win Down Under, Kohli will be hungry to perform at a high level during the upcoming series against Joe Root and his Englishmen, especially with the spot in the final of the World Test Championship will be on the line.
    For India to qualify to the finals of the WTC, they will have to win at least two of the four matches and also win the series against England.
    On the other hand, if England wishes to qualify, they will have to dominate the Men in Blue 3-0, 3-1 or 4-0
