    The programme will last for about a year and will be divided into four quarterly sessions that will focus on games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Registration for the academy will commence from February 1st and last till February 10th. 

    Aspiring gamers can sign up for the programme from the age of 16 and above. However, players between 16-18 years will require a consent letter from their parents. The registration process will involve a screening process and shortlisted candidates will be placed in mixed teams depending on their role in the game. Candidates will be further analysed and the top 20 candidates will finally be sorted into four squads.

    What makes enrolling into the programme worth it is that the final six players will be reaching Rs 15,000 as a stipend during the three month period. Players will get further training from professional esports players and coaches during the three-month tenure as well. The company will also provide Rs 1,00,000 as a prize pool for the final six players that are selected. 
    The training will involve activities ranging from theory, teamwork and individual skill training. Players will also be taught high-level in-game strategies that are usually used in competitive tournaments. 
    “This initiative will provide a huge boost in establishing a pool of credible esports players in India and pave the way for next-generation gamers with access to resources, mentorship, and training,” said Arnold Su, Business Head, Consumer and Gaming PC, System Business Group, ASUS India.
    Training academies and facilities will be a step forward to progressing India’s esports scene and ASUS plans to support the ecosystem with its new initiative. ASUS ROG will be providing tournament grade equipment and technology to gamers to hone their skills.

    India has been touted as the next big destination for esports but just two years ago, Nikhil "forsaken" Kumawat was caught cheating at ‘eXTREMESLAND 2018’ Finals. He was using an aimbot in competitive games. The incident has now become the most memed incident as Kumawat tried to hide the cheat by renaming the file as “Word.exe” during the game.

    It is clear that unprecedented times of the coronavirus pandemic have changed a lot more than what meets the eye. While we can truly never go back to a pre-pandemic world and there have been immeasurable losses, there are certainly tiny changes worth appreciating as well. For instance, our personal style choices have also been affected drastically. After staying at home for what seemed like years, (but were, in fact, over 10 to 11 months), we have acclimated ourselves to the world of athleisure clothing. It's almost like the hoodies and the sweatpants are the new uniform that we love and never want to get out of.
    View this post on InstagramBollywood celebrities are no exception to this rule. Most celebrities now have started stepping out in extremely relatable outfits with wardrobe basics that we all have in our closet. From solid sweatpants to graphic hoodies, Bollywood has never seemed more familiar. More recently, Siddharth Malhotra wore an outfit that was even more akin to what we wear on a daily basis. Take a look at his outfit here:

    © Viral Bhayani
    Sidharth Malhotra was seen wearing a pair of military cargo pants with an olive green zip-up hoodie that had multiple holes in it. It was almost like the hoodie was worn out and had aged quite a bit. On further inspection, it became apparent that these were intentionally made to give the sweatshirt a rustic look. To fo with the vibe, he also wore a pair of extremely dirty white trainers.

    © Viral Bhayani
    It is clear Sid Malhotra's style has visibly evolved from the time he did his first film, Student Of The Year back in 2012 and entered Bollywood, Sid has now moved to experiment with trends to find his signature style. It looks like he's finally found it. This year, on the work front, Sid Malhotra will be working on films like Maharaja and Mission Majnu.

    Indian Rappers have a massive following, not just because of their upbeat songs but also because of their inspirational style game. One such example is Yo Yo Honey Singh, who is called an Indian Rap God but is also a sartorialist in the truest sense. He has worn several outlandish stuff in the past, for example, a basic watch that costs Rs 18 Lakh or sneakers with an oversized tongue.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Every time he makes an appearance, we end up dissecting his looks and are at least able to find one fashionable item that strikes a chord with us. He was recently seen at Mumbai airport, in a hip outfit and pure white sneakers. If you take a closer look at his appearance, you would realise why we are applauding this outfit combination. 

    Take a look:
    © Nike
    Coming to the sneakers he is wearing, these are Nike Air Force 1 White Sneakers. These sneakers are legendary and come with crisp leather, stitched overlays and the classic colour adds the right sort of radiance to the silhouette. Moreover, the full-grain leather puts a premium feel to the pair. The padded, low-cut collar makes it look sleek. Furthermore, it also has a foam midsole and perforations on the toe and the sole.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Coming to the other details, the black oversized hoodie is by The Natty Garb Label. This is made in terry cotton fabric. This is quite a kitschy addition if you ask us and the way Honey has paired it with his baggy pants, made for a head-turning ensemble.

    All this goes on to show that Singh's sense of style is outstanding and we certainly don't mind taking more style lessons from him.

    We know that rappers love their jewellery and their bling. Trust us when we say that among all of India’s hip-hop artists, Yo Yo Honey Singh stands on a different playing field.

    © Instagram/yoyohoneysingh
    Pick any music video featuring Honey Singh, and you’ll see that more than anything else, it is his quirky jewellery and bling that stands out.

    © Instagram/yoyohoneysingh
    Well, very recently, Honey Singh gave us yet another example of why people consider him to be the king of bling.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Honey Singh recently attended the launch of his new song with Nushrat Bharucha wearing a rather dope and rare timepiece. But first, let’s have a look at his outfit.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Honey Singh is wearing a rather dope looking pick coloured sweatshirt from the Indian streetwear maker, Natty Garb. The ‘Hype Kills’ sweatshirt that he is wearing is a part of their annual Christmas drop from 2020, and we had to admit it looks rather zany.

    © Viral Bhayani
    We also like the fact that he has paired it with a chunky looking pair of sneakers, and a pair of relaxed fit, black coloured denims. Such a pairing allows the sweatshirt to take the centre stage and be the highlight of the ensemble.

    © Viral Bhayani
    However, the watch that we see Honey Singh wearing is the real statement piece from the ensemble, if you ask us. 

    © Viral Bhayani
    He is seen here wearing the Patek Philippe Nautilus in Rose Gold. For all the die-hard horologists reading this article, the reference number for the watch is 5711/1R-001.

    © Viral Bhayani
    All Patek Philippes, all over the world, enjoy a massive fan following and are in high demand, thanks to the cult status it has developed. Pick any new generation rapper, boxer, or movie star - basically with loads of cash -  and they will invariably have a Patek Philippe or two.

    © Patek Philippe
    The end result is, that if you wish to buy the watch from Patek Philippe directly, you need to wait at least for three to seven years, depending on the region and any customisations that you want to go for. To put things in perspective Rolls Royce deliver their cars faster than that in India.

    © Patek Philippe
    The upshot is that if you buy from authorised dealers, the watch costs about $51,000 or Rs 37,50,000 plus import duties and other taxes. 

    © Viral Bhayani
    If you want to skip the waiting period altogether, and just want to get your hands on one of these, be prepared to shell out almost double of the original price. 

    © Viral Bhayani
    The same piece that Honey Singh is wearing resells for about $100,000 to $115,000. That’s about 74 to 90 Lakhs, plus commissions to the reseller.

    All in all, though, Honey Singh looks rather dope wearing such a cool timepiece.

    Twitter is abuzz with memes and jokes ahead of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's presentation of the Union Budget 2021-22 on Monday in Parliament.
    She is presenting her first paperless union budget and this is her third budget under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
    While anxious people sit glued to the television sets and social media to hear about the government’s plan to spend their money for the next year, here are some memes and jokes doing the rounds on social media about the Union Budget 2021:

    CA and commerce field vale :- pic.twitter.com/yVYMdJ5SZm
    — Dhavan kadia (@The_1_tweets) February 1, 2021The budget comes at a time when India is battling the COVID-19 pandemic and the economy is reeling under the after-effects of the nationwide lockdown.
    Sitharaman has raised hopes by stating that Budget 2021-22 will “be a Budget like never before.” Expectations are high that the government will boost economic revival by focusing on infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, rural economy, MSMEs sectors impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown restrictions.
    As per the latest developments, Sitharaman, in her Budget 2021 speech has said that two or more Covid-19 vaccines will arrive.
    Meanwhile, the Finance Minister has also said that the government is committed to the welfare of farmers, which was followed by sloganeering in the parliament. 
    Latest developmentsIn the budget presented today, India's Agri Credit Target was raised to Rs 16.5 lakh crore. It was announced that 1.54 crore farmers have benefited from MSP in paddy and wheat in FY21 vs 1.24 crore YoY.
    The amount paid to farmers for wheat in FY21 was Rs 75,060 crore vs Rs 62,802 crore in FY20, and for paddy in FY21 seen at Rs 1.72 crore vs Rs 1.41 lakh crore in FY20, the Finance Minister said.
    Amount paid to farmers for pulses in FY21 stood at Rs 10,530 crore vs Rs 8,285 crore in FY20.
    Unlike in the past, when agriculture often got no more than mere lip service, this time around, Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman took care to ensure her Budget prioritises farmers.
    The announcements come amid ongoing farmers’ agitation to protest against the new farm laws passed by the government. Several rounds of discussions have ended without a resolution.

    Classic Apple computers have become a collective for quite some time now and many show up for sale on websites like eBay for exorbitant prices. However, some of these computers command a higher value simply because they have certain characteristics than make them unique. Such is the case with an Apple 1 computer that was spotted on eBay for $1.5 million. The reason why this particular model is so expensive is that it was personally built by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak themselves. 
    © Ebay
    The listing was spotted by IGN, and it is one of the six computers built by the Apple co-founders that came with an original Byte Shop KOA wood case. The computer also comes with an unmodified NTI motherboard and is in working condition which is extremely rare for computers from that era. 

    © Ebay
    The eBay listing also points out that this particular model is one of the first 50 units that were built by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The only parts that have been replaced are the video connectors which is necessary in order for it to work. The owner of the computers claims that he obtained the rare computer in 1974 via a trade-in option for a new Apple II in Montreal, Canada. 

    “The provenance of this Apple-1 system is seen in #79 on the Official Apple-1 Registry, as the second owner. I took possession in early 1978 from the original owner as part of a trade-in for a newer Apple II computer at the computer store where I maintained all Apple IIs in Montreal, Canada until Apple came to Canada. The  transformer area on the case was recently reinforced, to prevent damage as performed on other similar Apple-1 cases in the past as adhesive deteriorates over time” the posting said. 
    © Ebay
    Apple 1 was the first product to be released by the company in 1975 and was put on sale for $666.66 at the time. It’s not surprising to see a rare working Apple 1 that was built personally by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak would fetch over a million dollars today. If you had the money, would you spend that kind of money to own a piece of technology history? Let us know in the comments what you think about this rare computer going on sale and if you would consider placing a bid on eBay to get one.

    If you haven't noticed already, Ranveer Singh's style aesthetic has drastically changed in the last couple of months. From strutting high-fashion looks and street drips that instantly got our attention to switching to more laidback and relaxed silhouettes, he's a changed man this year when it comes to his fashion choices.
    In a pre-pandemic world, Ranveer Singh, with the help of his stylist, Nitasha Gaurav came up with well put-together outfits that were always unconventional in form and raised the bar for Ranveer's fellow actors in Bollywood. However, amid the pandemic last year, as everyone was cooped up inside their houses, we all acclimated to the 'new normal' which involved living in hoodies, sweatshirts and track pants all the time.
    Now that things have opened up significantly, and even films are in production again, Ranveer Singh too has started stepping out more instances. For instance, he was spotted outside recently in an outfit one would never imagine Ranveer to wear. Take a look at the outfit here:
    © Viral Bhayani
    © Viral Bhayani
    Ranveer Singh was seen wearing a graphic deep yellow, baggy hoodie from Drew house with a graphic of a smiley emoji with drew written on it.

    © Viral Bhayani
    The Drew mascot hoodie is priced at Rs. 40,000 approximately. He paired that with a regular pair sweatpants. He completed the look with the adidas x Pharrell NMD Hu sneakers that are worth Rs. 16,000 approximately. Here's what the sneaker silhouette looks like:

    © adidas
    The sneaker silhouette, instead of laces, had thin strings wrapped around it to secure it from both ends. This unconvention design certainly makes the sneaker silhouette look 'weird'.

    Over all, if one calculated, even Ranveer's stay at home look is worth over Rs. 56,000.

    On the work front, now that he's started stepping out more often. We're certain that he's started working on his upcoming line of films which includes the likes of Rajkumar Santoshi's Andaz Apna Apna 2, Divyang Thakkar's Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Rohit Shetty's Cirkus, and lastly Karan Johar's Takht. We also can't wait for the much-awaited 83 that was delayed because of the Coronavirus pandemic. Clearly, Ranveer Singh has an exciting year ahead of him.

    Microsoft's Windows OS is arguably one of the most popular operating systems out there, powering as many as billions of PCs and laptops around the world. It's insane to have that kind of a presence and dominate the market. Their mobile OS side of the story, however, is not so rosy.
    Yes, we're talking about the Windows Phone OS that never really took off in a huge way. In fact, Windows Phones are dead now and we're only left with Android and iOS as two of the most prominent mobile OS on the market.
    © Reuters
    Well, it turns out, the thought of not being able to make it big in the mobile OS space is still something that bothers Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft. He revealed the same in a recent interview in which he talked about the role of Big Tech in India and digital adoption.

    When Bill Gates was asked about "a missed opportunity" of his life, he said that Microsoft not being able to develop a decent mobile operating system for smartphones was one of the biggest missed opportunities in his life.
    “You know, Microsoft did not end up doing the phone operating system well enough. I made mistakes there that I regret,” he said. Here, check out the short snippet from the interview below -

    Well, you know what Mr. Gates? We miss the Windows Phone OS too and we would love to see it making a comeback someday to compete with this extremely saturated market of smartphones.
    Windows Phone OS, for those of you who don't know, is a thing of the past now. They were somewhat popular back in 2010, but they never really took off in a big way. We had a very limited set of phones running the OS, primarily from Nokia.
    A lot of interesting developments happened later, but sadly we didn't see anything significant. But this conversation about Bill Gates looking at Windows Phone OS as a missed opportunity has reignited the topic and we wonder what would it be like if Microsoft made a new mobile OS today and tried competing with Android and iOS.

    One of the biggest powerful couples of India, actor Anushka Sharma and Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli recently revealed the name of their newborn baby daughter via the former’s Twitter handle.
    We have lived together with love , presence and gratitude as a way of life but this little one , Vamika ️ has taken it to a whole new level !

    "We have lived together with love, presence and gratitude as a way of life but this little one, Vamika  has taken it to a whole new level ! Tears , laughter , worry , bliss - emotions that have been experienced in a span of minutes sometimes !” Anushka wrote in the tweet with an image of the couple holding their child.
    In yet another tweet in the same thread, Anushka even shared the experience of becoming first-time parents and what it’s like raising an infant. 
    Sleep is elusive but our hearts are SO full ️
    Thanking you all for your wishes , prayers and good energy
    — Anushka Sharma (@AnushkaSharma) February 1, 2021
    “Sleep is elusive  but our hearts are SO full Thanking you all for your wishes , prayers and good energy," she added. 
    Kohli came home on a BCCI sanctioned paternity leave after the first of four Test between India and Australia and had informed the rest of the world about the birth of their daughter via his social media accounts on January 11, 2021.

    — Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) January 11, 2021
    "We are thrilled to share with you that we've been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you all for your love, prayers, and good wishes. Anushka and the baby are both healthy and we are feeling beyond blessed to start this new chapter of our lives. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time. Love, Virat,” the cricketer had written back then.
    In an interview with Vogue, Anushka Sharma had talked about how the two did not wish to raise Vamika in the public eye.

    “There are so many similarities in the way we are as people and the way we approach life. So I do think that will work for us. I’ve been thinking about it before I even became a parent. Conditioning is the most important role in how we see the world. I come from a progressive background, so that will always be a part of our home. Love is the underlying factor in our home, and what’s important to us is that our child be respectful of people. You have to create that value structure. We don’t want to raise brats,” the actor said.

    “We’ve thought about it a lot. We definitely do not want to raise a child in the public eye—we don’t plan on engaging our child in social media. I think it’s a decision your child should be able to take. No kid should be made to be more special than the other. It’s hard enough for adults to deal with it. It’s going to be difficult, but we intend to follow through,” she added.

    Manish Malhotra's name is not just synonymous with Indian fashion but also with Bollywood. The designer has been a part of the industry for more than three decades now and has been wowing us with some of his amazing designs. When it comes to his personal sense of style as well, Manish isn't far behind. He has been wearing some mind-boggling pieces in the past, most of which made a jaw-dropping statement. Case in point, when he wore a monstrous pair of shoes which instantly made us sit straight and look at his shoes.
    © Viral Bhayani
    With such instances, it's clear that Manish is not just a fashion aficionado but also a sneakerhead. The latest appearance is again a testament to that.

    Most of the sneakers that we see these days are chunky and edgy, but the one that Manish wore this time is something out of the ordinary.

    He is seen wearing Fendi's Sock Sneakers. These sneakers are unique and come with an elasticated opening. These sneakers are a slip-on style and are a comfortable addition. Furthermore, these sneakers have a round toe, ridged rubber sole and contrasting panels.

    Sock sneakers trend usually combines performance and streetwear style and these sneakers have been crowned with a new name called 'snockers'. Many classic brands have presented their own style and many celebrities are now seen banking more and more on this trend.
