    Instant messaging app WhatsApp has been sent a “strongly worded letter” by the Indian government about its latest privacy policy. WhatsApp introduced a new policy that requires users to share their personal information with Facebook if they interact with businesses. The move was met with backlash from users in India that led to a mass exodus to other messaging apps such as Telegram and Signal. The Indian Government has now expressed its concerns to WhatsApp and reconsider its decision according to a report by NDTV.

    India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology or ‘’MeitY’ sent a “strongly worded” letter to WhatsApp CEO Will Cathcart. In the letter, it was expressed that the new privacy policy "raises grave concerns regarding the implications for the choice and autonomy of India citizens.”. The letter goes on to add "any unilateral changes to the WhatsApp Terms of Service and Privacy would not be fair and acceptable.”

    India is one of WhatsApp's most important markets with over 400 million users in the countries alone. A recent survey by LocalCirles also revealed that only 18% of WhatsApp users in India are likely to continue with the service which will be a massive hit to WhatsApp’s user base in the country. Due to the backlash, WhatsApp had to delay the implementation of the new policy however as of now it will be implemented on May 15th. 
    WhatsApp was brought to court about its new privacy policy however the Delhi High Court said that accepting the new privacy policy is “voluntary" and asks users to stop using the service if they don’t like the new policies. The letter from MeitY comes a day after the Delhi High Court verdict raising key objections such as the involuntary nature of the new policy. The letter also reminded WhatsApp of the Indian Supreme Court’s judgement on privacy policy from 2017 and the proposed data protection law.

    The Government also pointed out and takes objection to WhatsApp having different policies in different regions. As we reported earlier, WhatsApp’s privacy policy in Europe is different from the one in India and does not force its users to comply with the new change. The letter then asked 14 questions from WhatsApp on how user data is utilised and what type of privacy protections users get from the instant messaging app.

    On Tuesday 19, 2021, the Indian cricket team created history after defeating Australia at the Brisbane Cricket Ground in the fourth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the second consecutive year.
    The win was specifically impressive as it happened at The Gabba, the stadium in which the hosts had not lost a single match of red-ball cricket in the past three decades and were practical immortals until the Men in Blue triumphed yesterday.

    "Courage, resolve, strength you guys have shown is unreal. Not for once you were down. Injuries, 36 all out, (and still) you had the self belief in you. This hasn't happened overnight but now you have got that self belief and you can see where it can take you," Shastri said in his extended version of the speech which was uploaded on the official website of the BCCI.
    "Today, forget India, the whole world will stand up and salute you. Remember what you guys did today; you need to enjoy this moment. Don't let it go away, enjoy as much as you can. All the debutants, the support staff, everybody. You have been simply outstanding."
    A great victory for team India🇮🇳🇮🇳 The debutants has done a great job @Natarajan_91 @Sundarwashi5 @imShard well played guys you have made the whole country proud. #JaiHind ️️🇮🇳🇮🇳

    "It started in Melbourne, Sydney was fantastic it allowed us to come here level. And the fact that you pulled this off today is simply outstanding. Shubman (Gill), great work. Puji (Cheteshwar Pujara), you will be known as the ultimate warrior. Rishabh (Pant), simply outstanding. Jinks (Ajinkya Rahane), to lead the side from the position that we were in and to make them bounce back in the middle the way you had, simply superb," said Shastri.

    "Last but not the least from this Test match which I would not want to forget is three debutants, and their performance in the first innings. Nattu (Natarajan), Washi (Washington Sundar) and I say Shardul because he hardly played in the first Test. That's what the broke the back of Australia -- you come back and get 330-340 on this wicket after being 180/6. Let's not forget our masseuse and our physios. Enjoy the moment, lads, enjoy it. These things don't happen every day," Shastri said.

    On Tuesday, January 19, 2021, the Indian cricket team did the unthinkable when they not only managed to defeat the mighty Australian side in a four-match Test series for a second consecutive time, but also did so at the Gabba, a stadium where the hosts hadn’t lost a single Test match in the past three decades.

    The most commendable quality of this Indian roster was that it continued fighting against all odds, going toe to toe with the rivals, who were at full capacity, even after losing some of our top-tier players one after another.
    Names like Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah kept getting struck off from Team India’s potential Playing XI list as the series progressed, either due to personal reasons or injuries.

    The Men in Blue endured the losses and strived to achieve an agreeable outcome.
    In the end, the outcome was that India went 2-1 against the Aussies Down Under and retained the Border Gavaskar Trophy in a dominating fashion.
    Honestly, not a lot of fans or analysts could have expected such an epic conclusion to India’s struggling adventure in Australia and there were some legends of the game, who went all out on calling the series against the Men in Blue.
    Here are five comments made by cricket legends that backfired after India won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21:
    1. Michael Clarke View this post on Instagram
    “Can you imagine this Indian batting line-up without Virat Kohli for the next two Test matches? They are in deep trouble. At stages it was very hard to watch,” former Australian skipper Michael Clarke had said after Day 1 of the Adelaide Test.
    2. Ricky Ponting View this post on Instagram
    "There could be a good chance (of a whitewash). Let's hope we do get a result in Melbourne and if we do, I think India are going to find it really hard to bounce back and win a game," Ponting had told cricket.com.au during the second Test at the MCG.
    3. Mark Waugh View this post on Instagram"I thought Adelaide was the Test that they could win on paper and with Virat Kohli here for just the one Test. I thought the conditions would suit them. I just can't see how they can bounce back (after) Australia whitewashed them on the third day… four-nil to Australia,” Michael Waugh had declared ahead of the second Test.
    4. Michael Vaughan View this post on Instagram“Told ya ... India are going to get hammered in the Test Series ... #AUSvIND #4-0,” former England cricketer Michael Vaughan had tweeted cockily on December 19, 2020 just two days into the series.
    5. Brad Haddin View this post on Instagram
    “I thought their only opportunity to win a Test match was the first Test at Adelaide. I thought the conditions suited their bowling and I thought they’d get enough runs. But I don’t think they’ll be able to turn it around. You’ve got one Test up at Brisbane where no one beats Australia. These next two wickets will be suited to Indian cricket, but I don’t think they’ll be able to turn it around,” Haddin had said after India’s 36-run innings at the Adelaide Oval.

    If you’re into fitness, you know how important protein is for building muscle and staying fit. It is one of the quickest ways of giving your body the right amount of nourishment and energy. 

    However, when it comes to buying protein, it’s not an easy task. From your gym trainer to your ‘pados wale uncle’, everyone seems to have an opinion on the right kind protein powder. 
    More so, protein powders are mostly expensive and do require proper research before buying. 
    Well, you are in luck because we made the whole process a lot easier for you. Here are the only 5 factors you need to consider before choosing the right protein powder for yourself.

    The Bottomline Taking protein supplements has become extremely popular. But you do need to remember that it’s not an “essential” for being fit. As long as you’re exercising regularly and are getting enough protein through your diet, you will see the results.

    When it comes to skincare, it’s important to do your research before buying random products for your skin. 

    Factors like your skin type and the skin problem that you’re trying to fix play a major role here. 
    From face serums and face oils to face masks and night creams, a good skincare routine is meant to keep your skin troubles at bay and keep your skin nourished. 
    What Are Face Serums?Today, we will specifically talk about face serums and where exactly do they fit in your routine. Face serums are nothing but high concentrations of active ingredients. Sometimes it's impossible to get all the nutrients that you need from your diet. This is where face serums step in. They are like food for your skin. 
    Face serums are one of the best skincare products for men with oily skin. They are lightweight and get easily absorbed without leaving behind any greasiness. If you have oily skin, always go for face serums and not face oils. 
    Now that you know what a face serum does, let’s go through some of the best face serums for men with oily skin. 
    1. Anti-Ageing Serum For Men Any man who is in his late 20s needs to start using anti-ageing products. The process of ageing is gradual but you can slow it down by using retinol. Retinol is a type of Vitamin that helps in boosting the collagen production in your skin. The more collagen your skin has, the younger it will look. However, retinol does make your skin more sensitive to sun so it’s recommended to be used at night, before bed. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__312__
    2. A De-Stressing Serum For Tired Skin UV exposure, through the sun or through the screen can cause fatigue. This results in premature ageing, patchy and uneven skin tone. If you’re facing this issue, this Vitamin C serum is a great fit for you. This serum also has Vitamin E, Retinol and Niacinamides which help in keeping the skin youthful. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1014__
    3. Skin Repair Serum For Damaged SkinAs the name suggests, this serum will heal your skin and is meant to be used before bed. While you are busy getting a good night’s sleep, this serum is working at repairing your damaged skin. It’s infused with Vitamin C, Mulberry Extracts and Hyaluronic Acid, which work at reducing the appearance of dark spots and wrinkles on your face. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__308__
    4. Hydrating Serum For Oily Skin“Oily skin doesn’t need moisturisation” - this is the most ridiculous skincare myth out there. It is because of lack of hydration that your glands get over-active and produce even more oil in order to compensate. In other words, you need to hydrate your skin. Just make sure you stay away from oil based moisturisers and face oils. 
    This face serum, for instance, is perfect for your skin. It has all the active ingredients essential for your skin. It gets easily absorbed into the skin and is very lightweight. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1080__
    5. Treat Discolouration & Age Spots The last pick for this list is a face serum that will boost your natural complexion. The vegan formula helps in reducing age spots, skin discolouration and improves skin elasticity. It is a bit pricey, however, you get a bigger size with more quantity. Try it out and see the difference for yourself. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1081__
    The Bottomline Based on what your skin needs, these face serums for oily skin definitely deserve a spot in your daily skincare routine. Make sure to be regular while using the product and you’re bound to see the results.

    There's been a lot of conversation around WhatsApp and its controversial privacy policy over the last couple of weeks. In fact, a lot of people have started switching to other apps already. And now, the government has decided to step in.
    Yes, the government has asked WhatsApp to withdraw its controversial privacy policy. Additionally, it has asked the company to respect the "informational privacy and data security of Indian users.

    According to sources, the government has sent a long list of questions to the company on the issue. It has also noted that having a lenient update for Europe while being stringent in India is discriminatory for Indian users. There's been a lot of discussions surrounding that as well, so it's good to see the government bringing it up.

    TOI noted that the government has expressed displeasure at how the matter was unveiled by WhatsApp and asked them to take immediate steps to sort it out. What's more interesting is that even a letter has been sent to WhatsApp CEO Will Cathcart.
    The government is said to have expressed strong concerns about the policy that has been proposed by the company. The letter says that the update and data-sharing with Facebook will expose Indian users to "greater security risks and vulnerabilities creating a honeypot of information.

    It looks like the government is also strongly against the "all-or-nothing approach" of WhatsApp where it has asked the users to either accept the new T&C or ready to stop using the app and its services. The sources said that "differential and discriminatory treatment of Indian and European users is attracting serious criticism and shows lack of respect for the rights and interests of Indian citizens."

    Obviously, it remains to be seen what comes out of this whole debacle and whether or not WhatsApp will pull back its new policy. For now, you still have the chance to accept the new terms and continue using them. The company recently extended the deadline till May 15, and we doubt if there'll further extension. We'd like to know what are your thoughts on this, so be sure to let us know by dropping a line in the comments.
