    Recently, in an interview with Indian Express, Bill Gates touched upon a lot of things, including the on-going pandemic, how the world handled it, and his thoughts on India.
    Yes, a lot of things to cover but he's a wise man and whenever he's saying something, we should all listen. 
    This can be proved by just referring to his 6-year-old TED Talk where he warned about a potential pandemic and yet, here we are.

    Talking about that, he said, "The warnings that were made through my TED talk and through other experts back in 2015 were largely ignored. A group called CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) was created that has made some contributions to this pandemic. But you know (that’s) not even 5% of what should have been done."

    Further talking about another potential pandemic, he said, "There are clear things we need to get started on: better diagnostic tools; surveillance; tonnes of R&D efforts building on the successes that we had during this pandemic. So we won’t be fully ready for the next pandemic for over five years. We have to hope you’re right that we don’t get struck again when we don’t have all these tools in place."

    Coming to the topic of India, when asked about his experience with the country, he said, "In India, there’s so much potential, you see streets teeming with people. You meet really bright people who somehow got through the education system. You don’t see oil or, you know, big mineral-type things, you just see people. The mix of humanity is just mind-blowing and you think okay if we could educate and unleash all this human potential. It’s incredible."

    He went on, "And then, you know, if you go to the foundation office or Microsoft Office you see people who have had the best Indian education and you see how smart they are and what they’re contributing. And yet you know most of the country doesn’t get that opportunity so you know if you want to see the stark potential of, you know, human capability, and you get a little frustrated that it’s not being tapped in… I always feel that way."

    And finally, he has some advice for young Indian entrepreneurs who want to be like him one day - "Starting out, with that in mind, the chance of success isn’t, you know, super high. It’s great to be ambitious but it’s probably best to pick the area you want to contribute."

    "Do you want to make better robots than anybody’s ever made or do you want to help people in research topics and helping them organize their time and money and get things done? You know there are frontiers in software. There are frontiers in medicine, there are frontiers in climate change. And so if you define yourself in terms of really caring about one of those things and getting deeply educated, whether or not you get a big company and, you know, lots of money, you’re guaranteed to have fulfilment if you tackle the biggest problems of humanity."

    Kartik Aaryan will be next seen in a film produced by Shah Rukh Khan’s production house Red Chillies. The film is titled Freddy and will be directed by Ajay Bahl.  
    According to a recent report by Bollywood Hungama, Katrina Kaif will be cast opposite Kartik Aaryan. According to sources, “The film’s producers have approached Katrina with the offer, and she’s very keen to do it. The role is not only as pivotal as Kartik’s but also in some ways, more important than his.”

    Katrina Kaif was last seen in the film Bharat which wasn’t well-received by the audience. Before that, she was seen in Zero opposite Shah Rukh Khan in a small role. It is also being said that Katrina Kaif has accepted the role but is yet to sign the formal papers for the same. 
    Kartik Aaryan has already proved that he is a great actor but he is yet to prove his versatility to the audience and pairing with Katrina Kaif is one step up the ladder of stardom. 
    A source said, “In Freddy, Kartik will play a character unlike any he has played so far. Ajay wanted someone with a sense of mischief and mystery. Kartik fitted the bill.”
    View this post on Instagram
    He also said, “Kartik will go through a rigorous workshop to get his body language and diction right for Freddy. He will be nothing like Kartik Aaryan when he is ready to play Freddy.”
    The film's shooting schedule is said to start around mid the year 2021 and at the moment Kartik Aaryan is focusing on transforming himself for the role. Also, it is exciting to see this new Jodi as none of us could’ve imagined them turning into an on-screen Jodi.

    For all you Simbu fans, here's good news. Simbu is all set to collaborate with director Gautham Menon for his next film.
    Producer Ishari K Ganesh of Vels Film International is quite upbeat about the project. On Thursday evening, he shared the news with a picture of him handing over presumably an advance payment in the form of a cheque to Simbu and his mother Usha Rajendar, signifying that it is a done deal.
    “On this auspicious Day, #VelsFilmInternational Elated to announce a collaboration with dear @SilambarasanTR_ & director @menongautham for a film beginning very soon from a really brilliant script. More exciting details will follow (sic),” tweeted Vels Film International.

    Simbu also seemed very excited to work with Gautham Menon again. “Happy as always to team up with my brother @menongautham and a new beginning with @IshariKGanesh @VelsFilmIntl (sic),” wrote the star on his Twitter account.

It’s like homecoming to work with my @SilambarasanTR_The journey continues @VelsIntl (sic),” tweeted Gautham, who will be directing Simbu for the third time.

    However, it is not clear yet whether the untitled project is a sequel to the actor-director duo’s 2010 blockbuster movie Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa.

    Last year, Simbu, Gautham and Trisha came together to make a short film called Karthik Dial Seytha Yenn. This film gave a glimpse of the kind of relationship that Karthik (Simbu) and Jessi (Trisha) share with each other after going their separate ways. It was shot using mobile phone cameras under the restrictions of lockdown by Gautham.
    The duo had worked together earlier in Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada (2016) and the modern classic Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (2010) as well. The 37-year-old actor is currently working on Maanaadu with Venkat Prabhu, while Gautham Menon has the likes of Dhruva Natchathiram, Joshua and a few other projects in the pipeline.
    Keep watching this space for more details on the subject and the rest of the cast and crew of the highly anticipated film.

    Popular stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has a very controversial presence online.
    We've all seen people absolutely divided over their opinion of the comedian, and well, that's honestly expected if he's openly stating his stance on the government on Twitter on a regular basis.

    This time, he's actually facing charges of contempt of court because of his tweets against the Supreme Court but he has decided to not back down and apologize for it.
    © Twitter
    Kamra stated that his “tweets were not published with intention of diminishing people’s faith in the highest court of our democracy” and that “the suggestion that my tweets could shake the foundations of the most powerful court in the world is an over-estimation of my abilities”.

    Well, that's technically true.
    © Twitter
    In the long affidavit, he has responded to the notice maintaining that "even judges know no protection from jokes and that the public faith in the judiciary is founded on the institution’s own actions and not on any criticism or commentary about it."

    The affidavit further said, "We are witnessing an assault on the freedom of speech and expression, with comedians like Munawar Faruqui being jailed for jokes that they have not even made, and school students being interrogated for sedition. To believe any institution of power in a democracy is beyond criticism is like saying migrants need to find their way back home during an ill-planned, nationwide lockdown."
    "I do not believe that any high authority, including judges, would find themselves unable to discharge their duties only on account of being the subject of satire or comedy"- comedian Kunal Kamra tells #SupremeCourt in response to contempt notice.@kunalkamra88#KunalKamra pic.twitter.com/7vxCViJGMV
    — Live Law (@LiveLawIndia) January 29, 2021Maintaining the stance that all he did was make a joke, he said, "These jokes are not reality, and do not claim to be so. Most people do not react to jokes that don’t make them laugh; they ignore them like our political leaders ignore their critics. That is where the life of a joke must end...I do not believe that any high authority, including judges, would find themselves unable to discharge their duties only on account of being the subjects of satire or comedy."
    The affidavit also said, "Should powerful people and institutions continue to show an inability to tolerate rebuke or criticism, we would be reduced to a country of incarcerated artists and flourishing lapdogs."
    Jokes need no defence; jokes are not reality; they are a comedian's perception
    "Truth about the attention economy is that the more attention one gives to criticism or ridicule, the more credible it appears to be", he says in response to contempt notice.#KunalKamra pic.twitter.com/Y9d5KcwA3g
    — Live Law (@LiveLawIndia) January 29, 2021He added if the top court believes he has crossed a line and wants to shut down his Internet indefinitely, then he too will “write Happy Independence Day postcards every August 15 just like his Kashmiri friends”.
    You can read the entire affidavit in this thread.

    Of course, people are divided over his response but we can all agree it's very brutal.
    Brutal reply by @kunalkamra88 . SC judges ko slap karne ki zaroorat nehi hey bas yehi kafi hey.

    Hmm.
    Fantastic response

    It really is strong.
    The 6-page affidavit of Kunal Kamra is the best thing I've read in recent times.#kunalkamra
    — Manu Sebastian (@manuvichar) January 29, 2021
    Yes, it is.
    Kamra's reply is a very suitable and effective reply.

    Okay?
    #kunalkamra is brilliant. We need more people like him to make otherwise mundane life worth living. https://t.co/z8kH6v7OHM
    — Ravinder (@crocodilecat) January 29, 2021
    He really is.
    @kunalkamra88 OP

    Kunal karma is ready for the proceedings against him and he is making some significant points here.@kunalkamra88 #kunalkamra https://t.co/Qr36Y29Ibt
    — Lokesh (@lokeshbag67) January 29, 2021
    Just waiting.
    Really curious to see what the #SupremeCourt has to say about this very interesting reply by #KunalKamra. https://t.co/UfsBUjMNyN
    — Shruti Mahajan (@shrutimahajan21) January 29, 2021
    To the point.
    A beautifully written affidavit.
    My respect to the lawyer and Kamra for being so true, law abiding and humorous at the same time.
    This response to the notice will be remembered for long.#kunalkamra https://t.co/ANg2g94K7r

    After a year of unprecedented ups and downs, the Board on Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to bring normalcy back to Indian cricket with the 14th season of the Indian Premier League planned to take place on home soil.
    However, one of the biggest news revolves around the issue of the league’s title sponsor this season.
    According to Cricbuzz, the BCCI are open to rope in VIVO as the title sponsors of IPL 2021.
    — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) January 28, 2021
    During the 2020 edition of the tournament which had to take place in the United Arab Emirates due to a strong outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in India, the BCCI was under immense pressure to get rid of Vivo, a Chinese technology brand as their biggest sponsor after the escalation of military tensions between India and China at the Galwan Valley which took place back in June 2020. 
    On August 6, 2020, they announced that VIVO and they had come to a mutual agreement for suspending their partnership for the previous season of the league. A single-sentence statement by the board read:
    “The BCCI and Vivo Mobile India Pvt Ltd have decided to suspend their partnership for Indian Premier League in 2020.”

    — Crickpost (@crickpost) August 6, 2020
    An auction for the position of the title sponsor was then held by the Indian cricket board and Dream11, an Indian fantasy sports platform came up victorious.
    With the one-season deal with Dream11 now over, reports of the BCCI mulling over bringing back VIVO as their title sponsor for the IPL have begun to emerge.
    This has enraged the fans once again who are voicing their opinion on Twitter:

    — Harsh Pachissiya #DhoniTheGOATCaptain (@HappyHarsh09) January 28, 2021
    Contractually, BCCI and Vivo had entered a five-year deal worth Rs. 440 crore for the Chinese company to be the title sponsor of the tournament for a five year term back in 2018. This deal was put on hold last season due to the public backlash.
    To be fair, the board also allowed an opportunity to Dream11 to enter the bidding war against Vivo but the Indian company was not willing to offer a sum higher than Rs 222 crore, the amount they gave ahead of the 2020 season.
    However, as of now, the BCCI is still searching for a suitable title sponsor for IPL 2021 and the deal with Vivo is still not complete.
