    Congress leader Rahul Gandhi recently went to Madurai to be a part of the ongoing Pongal celebrations. 
    The annual harvest is celebrated with Pongal, a festival that will span the next four days. 
    Coinciding with other festivals across the country like Bihu in Assam and Uttarayan in Gujarat, and Makar Sankranti in Punjab, Rahul Gandhi, attended the popular "Jallikattu" event today.

    He wasn't the only politician present there, as RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, for instance, is in Chennai for a two-day visit to offer his Pongal prayers at the Sri Kadumbadi Chinnamman Temple in the state capital's Ponniammanmedu locality.

    "Pongal is celebrated for three days in Tamil Nadu, unlike the rest of India where it is a day-long festival. On day-one, Sun and Goddess Lakshmi are worshipped, which represents prosperity. On day-two, cows are worshipped. The cow represents nature and provides assistance to us. We worship her to thank all those who work for us. On day-three, we meet our acquaintances and eat sweets. Sweets represent that our speech should be cordial with everyone," Mr Bhagwat said.
    Rahul Gandhi was joined by DMK youth leader Udayanidhi Stalin during the Pongal celebrations.

    "I have come here as I think Tamil culture, language, and history are essential for India's and need to be respected. I've come here to give a message to those who think that they can run roughshod over Tamil people, can push aside Tamil language and Tamil culture," Mr Gandhi said at the event.

    But people were more impressed with the way Rahul Gandhi was expertly eating rice by using his hands. 

    Not using cutlery and using just his hands to eat food has been a longstanding tradition of sorts in various parts of the country.
    People were clearly impressed by the way he adapted to the local tradition.

As for internal storage, the S21 and S21+ comes in two variants i.e. 128GB and 256GB however this no way to expand storage via a microSD slot anymore. 
    For some reason, Samsung has opted to use 6.2-inch and 6.7-inch AMOLED displays with an FHD+ Resolution(2400×1080 pixels) resolution for the S21 and the S21+. Previous models have come with QHD+ resolution which is a downgrade in many aspects. The displays also implement adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz much like previous models. 
    (c) Twitter/Ice Universe
    In the camera department, both devices come with a triple camera setup at the back with a main 12MP sensor, a 64MP Telephoto with OIS, 12MP f/1.8 wide-angle,, 12MP f/2.2 Ultra-wide with 120° FOV. In terms of video capabilities, both phones are capable of capturing 8K video at 30FPS, 4K at 60FPS with AutoFocus PDAF, 30x Hybrid Optical Zoom and LED Flash.

The smartphones can also be wirelessly charged and can also charge accessories using reverse wireless charging. Much like the rumours, both phones do not come with a charger in the box citing environmental responsibility. You can, however, charge both smartphones with a 25W Power Delivery fast charger. 
    Both the Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus will come with One UI 3.1 based on Android 11 out of the box with newly added features.  
    Galaxy S21 Ultra  (c) Twitter/Ice Universe
    The Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G was also announced alongside the aforementioned models being the more premium offering by the South Korean giant this year. The Galaxy S21 Ultra uses a metal mid-frame design with glass at the rear similar to the Galaxy S20 Ultra. The S21 Ultra has a 6.8-inch Infinity-O Dynamic AMOLED display that has a WQHD+ 3200 x 1440 pixels resolution. The display also uses an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz and has a maximum brightness level of 1600 nits.

    Washing your face seems like the most basic chore of the day. However, if you're doing it wrong, it could be the very reason behind your skincare woes. 
    © Unsplash
    Here are a few things that you should keep in mind while cleaning your face every day.

    Do:∎ Use lukewarm water to wash your face. This temperature is great for weeding out dirt and gunk from the skin. 
    However, be mindful of the temperature, water that is too hot can also dehydrate the skin quickly by stripping its naturally formed protective oil barrier.

    ∎ Make sure you're rinsing out all the foam and soap residue. If the residue is left behind, it can block your pores.

    ∎ Lastly, find a good face wash that suits your skin type. You need a face wash that is gentle to your skin and also checks all the boxes when it comes to tackling your skin woes.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__170__
    Don’t:∎ Keep using the same towel to wipe your face for weeks at end. 
    Reusing the same towel over and over can spread bacteria, leading to skin breakouts and defeating the purpose of washing your face every day.

    ∎ Use the same towel that you use to clean up the rest of the body. 
    We have germs all over our bodies that shouldn't come in contact with our face especially after washing it. 
    It is advisable to have separate towels for both the face and the rest of the body.

    ∎ Wash your face harshly or more than twice a day defeats the purpose of all the TLC you give your skin during a skincare routine.  

    The pulling of the skin leads to the loss of its natural elasticity and will lead to baggy skin or ageing of the skin quickly.

    Two 22-year-olds took inspiration from a web series and staged a kidnapping for some extra money. 
    The accused, Nadeem and Aftab who reside in Zakir Nagar had also stolen a mobile phone from a woman on the same day. Later, they demanded a ransom of Rs. 2 lakh from their family after staging a kidnapping.
    The Police explained that Nadeem worked in his father's furniture shop. His father is a strict man and didn't let him consume any alcohol, and he never gave him money to get alcohol either. 
    Taking inspiration from Abhishek Bachchan's Breathe: Into the Shadows, they decided to stage a fake kidnapping to get money for alcohol.

    Aftab's father approached the police and told them that his nephew, Nadeem, had been kidnapped. They also informed the police of the ransom demand of Rs 2 lakh.

    Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) RP Meena said, "Our police team initiated a search and checked CCTVs in the area. We also checked call detail records of Nadeem's phone and found that he was in constant touch with a female friend. When contacted, his friend told police that Nadeem was with his cousin Aftab."

    The father also said that his son, Aftab was also missing. On inspecting the CCTVs, the police found that no kidnapping had taken place, he added.

    Later that day, another complaint was received where a woman was robbed of her phone at Jamia Nagar, on examining the CCTVs, they linked two complaints and found the two men involved.

    Clearly, a web series and the alcohol craving was enough motivation for the two men to scare their families.

    Kangana Ranaut as Tanu has been appreciated for her performance in Tanu Weds Manu and we can't even imagine any other leading lady taking the Queen actor's place. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Neetu Chandra revealed that she was the original choice for the movie and not Kangana. 

    Neetu recalled a comment made by actor R Madhavan in the past when he had claimed to have recommended Kangana for the lead role in Tanu Weds Manu. "I'm talking about Madhavan. He said, 'There was another actress who was signed for Tanu Weds Manu, but I recommended Kangana's name'," Neetu told Bollywood Hungama, adding, "That actress was me, the one who had signed Tanu Weds Manu earlier."

    She added, "These kinds of things kept happening. I was removed from six movies in the past. No one would pick up the phone and call me. Neetu had to (make calls) for Neetu. But this is the journey, and this is how I had to learn things."
    Neetu was asked why Aanand L Rai did not continue if she had been signed for the big project. She said, "How do you continue? Do you think it depends on me if I want to continue the project? For any reason, if the director thinks that the hero is recommending somebody else... I don't come from the sort of background where I can (stand my ground). I'm helpless.
    Tanu Weds Manu changed Kangana's game and posted it, she was seen as an A-List heroine. All of this success could have been a game-changer for actress Neetu Chandra.
    We wonder what Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan have to say about it!

    The world of skincare is still relatively new, especially for men. From face serums, oils to so many different varieties of face masks, there are just way too many products out there.

    This makes it even more difficult to find the perfect fit for your skin. From researching about your skin type to reading about thousands of skincare ingredients out there, the journey seems to be endless. 
    Moreover, not everything you read about your skin will hold true in real life. Our skin likes to communicate in a language of its own and you need to know how to decode it. 
    Worry not because that’s exactly what we are here for. Here are 5 signs that your skincare products and routine isn’t working for your skin. It’s time to give it a break and try something new!

    The Bottomline We have heard that skincare needs to be used at least for a month in order to improve your skin. However, if your skin is reacting in the above mentioned ways, you need not wait for a month to see the results. It’s pretty obvious that the product isn’t working for you. So make sure you listen to your skin and do what suits you the best.

    For someone who was made Test captain as part of Australia's desperate bid to clean up their maligned image after the infamous 'Sandpaper Gate', Tim Paine did his team no favour owing to his forgettable antics during the 3rd Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

    The Aussie captain had become the subject of immense criticism for his uncalled remarks to Ravichandran Ashwin on the final day. 

    If that wasn't enough, the fact that Paine dropped as many as three vital catches further saw him drawing flak from cricket pundits and fans alike.
    © AP
    Amongst all the criticism, some came from Sunil Gavaskar who minced no words in criticising Paine. 

    The former Indian cricketer, now one of the most respected voices in cricket, had opined that Paine's on-field behaviour was unbefitting of a national team captain. 
    While Paine had earlier apologised for his antics at the SCG, he recently responded to Gavaskar's criticism.
    Asked if he had heard about Gavaskar's comments on him, Paine said: "I had, but I am not going to go into it and get my back and forth with Sunny Gavaskar, I think I am not going to win that. He is entitled to his opinion, it does not affect us one bit, if anything it is adding to the Test match. Sunny can keep saying what he wants to say, but in the end, we do not have anything to do with him," Paine said during a virtual press conference.

    Talking about his approach in the 4th Test, Paine said: "I just think I will handle it differently, last Test I let it get under my skin, I have admitted that. I will concentrate on myself and leading my team. This game is about controlling what we can control. If we can do that, we will be in a good position. If you look at my entire career, I have done a good job of staying relaxed. At times, you feel you get caught up in the moment".

    Following a draw at the SCG, both India and Australia will be eager to seal the four-match series when they take the field at the Gabba in the fourth and final Test slated to begin from 15th January.

    Owing to his valuable contributions during India's remarkable draw in the 3rd Test, Hanuma Vihari had garnered plaudits from cricket pundits and fans alike on social media.
    The right-hander, despite battling with an injury, had scored 23 runs during the match-saving partnership of 62 runs with Ravichandran Ashwin on the final day.
    Playing 109 balls to score 7 !That is atrocious to say the least•Hanuma Bihari has not only killed any Chance for India to achieve a historic win but has also murdered Cricket.. not keeping win an option, even if remotely, is criminal.
    PS: I know that I know nothing abt cricket
    — Babul Supriyo (@SuPriyoBabul) January 11, 2021
    While his resilience and commitment to his team was hailed by everyone, MP Babul Supriyo targetted Vihari in a distasteful tweet. 
    The Union Minister blamed his slow-paced innings for India's inability to pull off a win in Sydney. 
    "Playing 109 balls to score 7! That is atrocious to say the least Hanuma Bihari has not only killed any Chance for India to achieve a historic win but has also murdered Cricket..not keeping win an option, even if remotely, is criminal. PS: I know that I know nothing abt cricket," Supriyo tweeted.
    *Hanuma Vihari

    The uncalled criticism of Vihari saw Supriyo drawing a lot of flak from cricket fans. 
    But, the most important response came from Vihari himself, as he shut the BJP minister in a two-worded tweet. 
    Reminding Supriyo of the correct spelling of his last name, the Indian batsman replied: "Hanuma Vihari".
    Apna Vihari , Sab par Bhaari ! pic.twitter.com/PoHqWHUIwV
    — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) January 13, 2021
    The right-handed batsman's epic response undeniably left Supriyo red-faced as fans on social media continued to hail Vihari. 
    Amid all the plaudits, Vihari also managed to impress Virender Sehwag who came up with his own analogy of the entire episode. 
    Taking to Twitter, Sehwag wrote: "Apna Vihari, Sab par Bhaari!".
    Rapidly becoming a fan-favourite, Vihari will now be expected to play with similar resolve and add teeth to India's middle-order when the tourists take the field against Australia in Brisbane to play the fourth and final Test slated to begin from 15th January.
