    You can literally cure an incurable disease but if you have desi parents, they will still not be satisfied, not because they are not proud, but they just want you to keep doing better and better. That's actually kind of wholesome and adorable.
    But, it's such a desi parent thing to be like 'isse better karna chahiye tha', and even someone like Shubman Gill, who helped India get its historic win in Australia yesterday, can't escape.

    Talking about India's victory, Shubman's dad, Lakhwinder Gill, said, "A century would have been good for his confidence. He was playing so well and I don't know why all of a sudden played away from his body."

    Said every desi dad ever, to be honest!

    — Shubman Gill (@RealShubmanGill) January 19, 2021Shubman Gill did come out as a rising star after his stint down under after scoring 91 runs off just 146 deliveries, which helped in creating the momentum for the historic chase at The Gabba. 
    But well, desi parents will always be like, 'thoda aur acha kar lete' and we know it's out of love, so it's okay.
    Look how excited he was, though.
    Well done @KKRiders & @DineshKarthik . All played like u should…by backing urselves. @lynny50 #SWarrier @RealShubmanGill good job. But tonite belongs to Papa! 3 cheers for proud papa & family. pic.twitter.com/KDlvVWmnYT

    Jack Ma, after being missing for several months, has finally resurfaced for the first time in a video that was released today. There was speculation that Ma was missing because of CCP’s (Chinese Communist Party) crackdown on big tech in the country and scrutiny over Ma’s internet empire. 
    The 56-year-old billionaire was spotted in a video where he interacted with 100 rural teachers via video conference, according to a local government media report. This marks the billionaire's first appearance since late October as the CEO was suspected of being detained for making comments against the Chinese authorities.
    © Reuters
    Jack Ma was first reported missing after he failed to appear as a judge for a talent show he created in October 2020. There were many theories, however according to people familiar with the matter, Ma was not missing but “laying low” following a Chinese regulatory crackdown. Some sources also claimed that Ma was asked to maintain a “low profile.”

    Before his disappearance, Ma criticised China’s regulatory system in Shanghai during a forum in Shanghai. He criticised the regulatory system for “stifling innovation” and compared the country’s banks to “pawnshops."
    © Twitter
    In the newly released 50-second video, Ma is looking to spend more time on philanthropy and did not make any mention of the investigation into Ant Group. Prior to his disappearance, Ant Group was prevented from a massive $37 billion IPO by the Chinese authorities who asked the company to revamp its lending business to meet capital requirements. Soon after, an anti-monopoly investigation was launched against the Alibaba Group last month. 

    BREAKING: Alibaba founder Jack Ma, who had not been seen in public in nearly 3 months, appears on video, saying: "We’ll meet again after the epidemic is over" pic.twitter.com/aFQyDWB7wQ
    — BNO News (@BNONews) January 20, 2021
    Every year, Jack Ma holds a ceremony organised by his foundation for teachers in the Chinese seaside city of Sanya. He addressed the teachers who won the Jack Ma Rural Teachers Award in the video. “We cannot meet in Sanya due to the epidemic,” he said in the speech, which did not discuss his whereabouts. “When the epidemic is over, we must find time to make up for everyone’s trip to Sanya, and then we will meet again,” he added.
    The company plans to raise at least $5 billion through the sale of a U.S. dollar-denominated bond this month which could be the reason behind Ma’s resurfacing on video.

    Also, it is worth mentioning that Arjun Reddy fame Sandeep Reddy Vanga was supposed to direct one segment but he opted out following creative differences. 
    © Twitter
    In an interview to Deccan Chronicle, Sandeep had said, “Initially, they said that it’s about honour killing, but later they said it is about lust. I told them that I am not comfortable with lust.” 

    However, Sandeep went on to confirm that he will soon helm a web series. “I am planning to do a web series in the next 4-5 years, based on some real-life incidents. It’s about a group of friends and I know that it can’t be a film because the censor would not give us clearance for it.” 
    © Netflix
    Released as a Netflix original, Lust Stories featured Kiara Advani, Bhumi Pednekar, Radhika Apte and Manisha Koirala. The anthology film - featuring four short film segments and centred on the theme of lust - was directed by Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Dibakar Banerjee, respectively.

    It weaved in four different stories with one common point, which brought modern relationships to life from a woman's perspective. 

    Did you watch it? How much did you like the contemporary take on real-life relationships through the lens of four women?

    We keep coming across bits and pieces of info around Rockstar Games' new big open-world game, the Grand Theft Auto 6 . So far, we've heard rumors about the game being set in multiple cities across the world and also about it being the first GTA game to have a female protagonist.
    Now, according to a new report, it looks like the game might have the most realistic NPC behavior in the open-world game ever. Honestly, that's a huge claim but it looks like Rockstar's parent company has filed for a patent in April 2019. It was recently discovered by Redditors.
    © Rockstar Games
    The patent talks about a new system that describes a new kind of NPC tech. It was developed by Rockstar’s lead AI programmer, Simon Parr, and David Hynd, Rockstar’s associate director of technology. This new system is designed to create "a realistic virtual world that is not limited by hardware and software limitations.”

    It's essentially a new kind of system to produce NPC behavior players expect within the limits of current processors and memory bandwidth. This is specifically in relation to traffic behavior and how a particular NPC behaves while handling a vehicle, boats, etc. The system outlined would result in a more realistic and immersive simulation of traffic.
    Of particular note is that the system means “each NPC can define its own specific characteristics for traversing the road nodes.” In simple terms, they'll be able to understand acceleration, breaking time and distances, top speeds, and even cornering speeds.
    © Rockstar Games
    Currently, only some of the NPCs in the game are designed to have these characteristics and they're mostly the ones that you interact with for the story or a mission. The others, say on the roads or the ones that are just fillers don't possess them. The new NPC tech, however, will try to produce more realistic NPCs throughout.

    The patent doesn't say it was specifically made for GTA 6. However,  since it was made by Rockstar designers and was patented by its parent company, Take-Two, we can only imagine that it is specifically made for Rockstar's open-world games.
    Interestingly, the patent reads this - “virtual navigation and management of objects in a multiplayer network gaming community.” This raises the question if GTA 6 will be an online experience. Honestly, it's too hard to tell what Rockstar is cooking behind the scenes for the next GTA game. We just know for a fact that it'll be big and better than ever. They can take all the time they need to make a stellar game and not rush into anything like Cyberpunk 2077.

    The fifth and final day of the Brisbane Test between India and Australia belongs to the 23-year-old Rishabh Pant who did everything in the best of his abilities to ensure that he’d drive the team to a historic victory at the Gabba.
    In a unique blend of discipline, patience and aggressiveness, Pant built an unbeaten 89-run innings while sharing the pitch with a wide range of players like Cheteshwar Pujara, Mayank Agarwal, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur and Navdeed Saini.
    In an epic internal race for the Indian series' leading runs scorer, we had an engaging healthy competition throughout the last day of a long Test series

    Gill - Pujara - Rahane

    Everybody had their moments at the top of the list.

    — North Stand Gang - Wankhede (@NorthStandGang) January 20, 2021
    And even though his partners continued to change as the day progressed, Pant remained unshaken at the crease with not an inch of stress visible on his face. 
    His confident shots and matured advice to the other batter, the southpaw perfectly moulded India’s second innings to not just win the match and the series, but also break Australia’s phenomenal Test record of being undefeated at the Gabba for the past three decades.

    It was a ‘one-of-the-kind’ innings by a ‘one-of-the-kind’ cricketer but the diehard fans of former Team India captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni tried to take away that title from the young prodigy.

    But the rest of the fans of the Indian cricket team could not let Dhoni fans take away this performance from Pant.

    Lol! Dhoni would've settled for a draw like he did in Dominica 2011.

    Lol Dhoni would've taken the game 'deep' and settled for a draw. Pant much better Test player than Dhoni
    — Vasu (@i__vasu) January 19, 2021
    Dhoni’s critics believe that the biggest reason why Pant’s innings was different from the one the Ranchi-born would have played is the fact that Pant had every intention of winning the Gabba Test while the former would have settled for a draw to retain the trophy.
    Over the nine Test matches that Dhoni had played on Australian soil, the unorthodox batsman managed to put 311 runs on the board in 18 innings. With an average of 19.44 and a strike rate of 46.35, Captain Cool’s highest score Down Under is that of 57*.
    The 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy was a true test of character for the young Rishabh Pant who had to go through all sorts of adversities over the course of the series. 
    He was left out of the Playing XI for the Adelaide Test. He was criticised for dropping several easy catches behind the wicket in Melbourne and Sydney. Finally, he suffered a nasty hit on his left elbow while batting in the first innings of the third Test and was in severe pain for the entirety of the match.
    Despite all the challenges, Pant prevailed. His performance will go down in history as one of the best innings by an Indian cricketer and nothing, not even Dhoni’s essence should take that away from him.

    The political series Tandav has been getting into controversies since the day the series was released. Now, after the second meeting with the officials of the ministry of information and broadcasting on Tuesday, the makers of the political web series Tandav has decided to make changes to the web series to address the concerns it raised. 
    In a fresh statement, director of the series Abbas Ali Zafar said, "We have the utmost respect for the sentiments of the people of our country. We did not intend to hurt or offend the sentiments of any individual, caste, community, race, religion or religious beliefs or insult or outrage any institution, political party or person, living or dead.”

    He added, “The cast and crew have decided to implement changes to the web series to address the concerns raised towards the same. We thank the ministry of information and broadcasting for the guidance and support in the matter. We once again apologize if the series has unintentionally hurt anybody’s sentiments.”

    This happened when two complaints were filed- one by a policeman in Lucknow and another by Ram Kadam in Mumbai on Sunday. The UP cop said that 17 minutes into the first episode, "people dressed up in a very bad manner to represent Hindu gods and goddesses that hurt religious sentiments."
    © Amazon Prime
    Ram Kadam's complaint said that the alleged insults to religious sentiments happened almost every time. Now, the ministry officials have engaged with Amazon prime Video, the OTT platform streaming the series, and the content creators, to resolve all the concerns and the team has now agreed to weed out all the controversial content.

    Actor Kangana Ranaut always manages to become a part of some controversy. She recently claimed that her Twitter account was restricted after she made some controversial remarks about the Tandav creators.
    Kangana Ranaut had said in her tweet which is now-deleted that it was time to take their heads off for insulting the Hindu gods in the series.
    Earlier today, she said that the liberal community had reported her account to Twitter and got it restricted for her to use by Jack Dorsey. Jack Dorsey is Twitter’s co-founder and CEO. She wrote in her tweet, "Librus cried to their chacha @jack and got my account temporarily restricted, they are threatening me mera account/virtual identity kabhi bhi desh keliye shaheed ho sakti hai (My account and my virtual identity might get martyred for the country anytime), magar my reloaded desh bhakt version will reappear through my movies. Tumhara jeena dushwar karke rahungi (I will make your life miserable).”

    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) January 20, 2021
    Earlier she also tweeted,  “Because even Lord Krishna forgave 99 mistakes of Sheshupala.... pehle Shanti phir Kranti (Silence must be followed by revolution).... time to take their heads off... Jai Shri Krishna."
    And she later retweeted more tweets that claimed Saif Ali Khan, Javed Akhtar and Naseeruddin Shah's ancestors fought with the British against Marathas and others. She made disparaging remarks about how 'treason' and 'loyalty' runs in one's blood, calling herself a true nationalist because she belongs to the bloodline of warriors, once again.
    ग़द्दारी और वफ़ादारी ख़ून में भी होती है, glad I come from a bloodline of warriors who fought for the integrity of akhand Bharat..... even if I wasn’t a Hindu I would have chosen to be a nationalist. हम वो नहीं जो अपनी ही थाली में छेद करें, जय हिंद । https://t.co/10YjsCa7KK
    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) January 18, 2021
    And then again she clarified her tweet saying, “Jo libru dar ke maare mummy ki god mein ro rahe hai, woh yeh padh lein. Maine tumhara sir kaatne ke liye nahi kaha, itna toh main bhi jaanti hoon ki insects ya worms ke liye pesticide chahiye hota hai.”
    Tandav makers in a fresh statement said, "We have the utmost respect for the sentiments of the people of our country. We did not intend to hurt or offend the sentiments of any individual, caste, community, race, religion or religious beliefs or insult or outrage any institution, political party or person, living or dead.”

    What makes smartphones “smart” is their ability to manage apps, which we all have on our devices to do something or the other. However, on Android, there are plenty of apps that we don’t use as often or may have downloaded for a particular situation and never really launched the app again. However, these apps that we don’t use, often take up significant space on our smartphones. 
    © Android
    It seems like Android is finally catching up with iOS in this field. A new report by XDA Developers who were tipped off about new changes to the AOSP. The changes suggest Google is working on a “hibernation” system, similar to what iOS uses for its iPhones. The new hibernation system will free up space on smartphones from apps that you don’t use that often. 

    This is a welcome feature on Android 12 as many smartphones do not come with expanded storage any longer including the latest Galaxy S21. Not having expandable storage can be problematic if you have many apps on your device and this feature may just make storage management a lot easier than it is at the moment. 
    © XDA Developers
    Currently, it is unclear how Google plans to implement this change but it might work similarly to iOS where it offloads unused apps. iOS has a feature in the settings where users can enable the system to determine that an app is not in use for a long period and the operating system sort of deletes the app on your phone to free up space. The app still remains visible to users as an icon, however if one wants to use it again, iOS will download the app again. Google might use a similar technique for its hibernation system but  we shall know more once the developer preview is available.

    Android 12 might also copy another feature from iOS where it will let users share their WiFi with guests without actually giving away the password. iOS already uses this feature for iPhones and iPads where one simply needs to be near the other person’s iOS device to grant access. Google sort of uses a similar concept for the Google WiFi app for its mesh routers, however it seems, it might be extended natively as a part of the Android 12 update. The feature was discovered in the same AOSP by XDA Developers and it would be interesting to see how Google implements the WiFi sharing feature on Android 12.

    The man of the hour, Rishabh Pant played the greatest cricket of his international career against Australia at the Brisbane Cricket Ground when he sculpted an unbeaten 89-run innings to lead a battered and bruised Indian cricket team to a 2-1 Test series win on foreign soil.
    Facing rejection, injuries and a ton of criticism because of his inability to be an effective wicket-keeper for the Men in Blue in the first few Tests, Pant somehow managed to keep his morale high and play the game the only way he knows - with aggression.
    View this post on Instagram
    Baffled by the self-confidence with which the 23-year-old carried the rest of the squad, Indian commentator Ajay Jadeja shared an interesting story with the viewers of Sony Sports Network about a conversation he had with Pant over four years ago.
    “I think that's the experience I have had with him. Every time there are questions on how he plays and I completely agree with that. He takes risks even in Test match cricket. It was that day in Delhi, he wasn't picked in the side,” Jadeja said on the show.
    View this post on Instagram
    “I happened to be around him and asked him ‘Why don't you come to nets tomorrow. You can practice even if you are not picked in the squad’. He said, ‘Paaji jab zarurat padegi ye ghar se bulaenge (They will call me from my home when they will need me). That has stayed on with me. That was almost 4 years ago, that was before he got picked up for Delhi. In a Ranji Trophy game someone else was picked ahead of him,” Ajay Jadeja added.

    “That's the mindset these young kids have today. They believe if they are good, there is nobody in the world to stop them. They don't want to play, everybody else wants them to play, they don't play to please people around them. They play how they wish to play. Pleasing others who are writing, talking about cricket, these kids don't think about it. They just believe in themselves, they put out their beliefs on one simple thing, 'I Know what is best for me'. I just love the way this Indian team plays,” Jadjeja concluded.
