    Xiaomi was one of the first ones to make fun of Apple when they had announced about the new iPhones not having a charger in the box. But soon after that, they announced that the Mi 11 won't come with a charger. An interesting turn of events indeed but now the company says they had been planning to do that since 2015.
    Yes, Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun has assured that they did not copy Apple's move to make this decision. It looks like Xiaomi has been planning to do this since 2015. Jun just noted that they waited long enough to implement it because it wasn't sitting well with the consumers.

    That being said, he didn't mention what made them implement it now. We're pretty sure a decision like this isn't going to sit well with consumers ever. We're also not sure why Xiaomi decided to make fun of Apple when they had their own plans to implement something similar.

    Not including box content isn't something new for Xiaomi, by the way. In fact, they were one of the first ones to stop adding in-box accessories like wired earphones and cases.

    Overall, we definitely think this move to not include the charger in the box seems like it was inspired by Apple. We just have to wait and see if they stop including the charger with all their devices. It'll be interesting to see how the consumers will react to not seeing a charger in the box with budget phones.

    Starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Rajkummar Rao, and Adarsh Gourav, the Ramin Bahrani-directed film, The White Tiger, is based on Aravind Adiga’s Man Booker prize-winning novel by the same name. Priyanka and Rajkummar play the roles of a rich, US-returned married couple. They belong to an affluent business family of the city.
    Adarsh plays the role of their poor driver, Balram Halwai, and the story shows how he uses his intellect and wit to break away from the shackles of poverty. When the trailer was released, we were sure that it’s going to be a hard-hitting story that highlights the class divide in the Indian society.
    Here’s the trailer:

    And with the critics' reviews now out, we are really looking forward to January 22.
    Here are the first reviews:
    1. Variety’s Owen Gilberman: “Bahrani is no feel-good fantasist. The White Tiger taps engagingly into the rags-to-riches, Horatio-Alger-on-the-Ganges mythology that made Slumdog Millionaire a global sensation, but the movie also recognizes the earlier film as a fairy tale, positioning itself in key ways as the anti-Slumdog.”

    2. The Hollywood Reporter’s David Rooney: “The sting of underclass payback doesn’t rival that of, say, Parasite, but the movie taps into the same simmering rage of the have-nots, shafted out of an unyielding system in a perilously unbalanced world. It could almost be considered the anti-Slumdog Millionaire.”

    3. Entertainment Weekly’s Leah Greenblatt introduced Adrash as, “largely unknown actor whose soulful combination of sheer will and vulnerability should, in a just world, win him the kind of accolades that helped make Slumdog’s Dev Patel a star.” 
    © Netflix
    4. The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw: “The White Tiger is a story of servitude, resentment, and love – and what its hero calls “the contented smile that comes to the lips of a servant who has done his duty by his master.”

    5. Indiewire’s David Ehrlich: “Bahrani’s jagged sense of purpose and his street-level point-of-view allow him to attack this material with the same blunt force of Adiga’s book, and to suffuse it with the sights and sounds required to bring it all to life. Some are putrid, others intoxicating, but together they alchemize into a heady perfume of desperation that only wears off once the action slows down and shit gets real.”
    After going through these powerful reviews, we are sure that you all must be looking forward to its release as much as we are.

    While his Team India mates are sweating it out in the four-match Test series in Australia, Virat Kohli is back home spending some quality time with his wife Anushka Sharma as the couple get ready for the birth of their first child this month.
    Despite being away from the field, Kohli has been keeping close tabs on his teammates through social media where he continues to shower praise on them for their brilliant performances. 
    Though his social media activity often garners great interest from fans, Kohli's personal investment in Team India's kit sponsor has raised questions on the captain over a potential 'conflict of interest'.
    © AP
    The Delhi cricketer reportedly invested in the online gaming platform, Mobile Premier League (MPL), which recently became the kit sponsor for Team India. 

    In what is being looked upon as a potential case of conflict of interest, Kohli was allotted Compulsory Convertible Debentures (CCDs) worth over Rs 32 lakh in Galactus Funware Technology Private Limited which owns MPL.
    An Indian Express report claims that Kohli was allotted the CCDs in the Galactus Funware in February 2019. Galactus, which has its headquarters in Bengaluru, is a subsidiary of M-League Pvt Ltd - a company registered in Singapore in April 2018. 
    MPL, which was roped in as Team India's kit sponsor in November 2020, has a three-year deal with the BCCI that allows them to have their brand logo displayed on India's jersey.
    © AP
    While Kohli has been endorsing MPL for quite a while, he was appointed as the brand ambassador of the gaming platform in January last year. 

    The report also suggests that Kohli was allotted a total of 68 CCDs with a face value of Rs 10, each issued at a premium of Rs 48,990 which turns out to be around Rs 33.32 lakh. 
    Furthermore, the CCDs will get converted into equity shares at the end of 10 years which will allow Kohli to have a 0.051 per cent stake in the company.
    Apart from Kohli, Galactus Funware also, reportedly, issued 34 CCDs worth Rs 16.66 lakh to Cornerstone Sport LLP in the same meeting where the Indian captain was allotted his share of CCDs. 
    Interestingly, Cornerstone Sport's CEO Amit Arjun Sajdeh is Kohli's partner in two other firms - Magpie Venture Partners LLP and Virat Kohli Sports LLP.
    © AP
    The latest revelations have raised doubts over a potential conflict of interest but Cornerstone Sport CEO and Kohli's business partner feels there is nothing wrong there. 

    "I have said this time and again, Virat and Cornerstone are free to invest in as many businesses as they wish to. There is no conflict whatsoever as long as Virat is not invested in Cornerstone," Sajdeh was quoted as saying by Indian Express.
    On the other hand, a BCCI official feels that such 'inter-connections' are not ideal for good governance as Kohli is an influential figure in Indian cricket. "He (Kohli) is an influential figure in Indian cricket and such inter-connections aren’t ideal for good governance," the BCCI official told Indian Express.

    The Indian cricket team has announced the Playing XI for the third of four Test matches against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground starting from January 7, 2021.
    NEWS - #TeamIndia announce Playing XI for the 3rd Test against Australia at the SCG.

    Navdeep Saini is all set to make his debut.#AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/lCZNGda8UD
    — BCCI (@BCCI) January 6, 2021
    And while most of the squad continues to be the same, as expected, the fans of the Men in Blue are unhappy with two critical snubs from the final list.
    1. Mayank AgarwalMayank Agarwal since his test debut 21 innings ago

    • Most no of runs for the team= 1005
    • Highest run % for the team = 15.3
    • Top scorer of the innings = 5 times

    He pulled off all this while playing 15 of his 21 innings overseas at the toughest job of being an opener.
    — Ricky talks cricket (@CrickeyRicky) January 5, 2021
    First snub goes to red-call specialist Mayank Agarwal who, despite being one of the best top-order batsmen in the country for the longest format of the game, is currently going through form. 
    Despite opening the Indian batting lineup for the first two Test matches of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide and Melbourne respectively, Agarwal could not stick to the crease for long and gave up his wicket early in all four innings. His highest individual score was 17 that came during the first innings of the first Test.
    And when news of KL Rahl being ruled out of the rest of the series with a sprained left wrist became public, many thought that Agarwal would get another shot at proving his worth to skipper Ajinkya Rahane but it was already established that Team India will move ahead with five bowlers.
    2. T NatarajanA proud moment to wear the white jersey 🇮🇳 Ready for the next set of challenges 🏽#TeamIndia @BCCI pic.twitter.com/TInWJ9rYpU
    — Natarajan (@Natarajan_91) January 5, 2021
    Just a day before Team India announced the Playing XI, a hopeful T Natarajan shared pictures of him donning the white kit for his country and it was widely believed that he will be getting his international Test debut in Sydney, especially after his wondrous debut in limited overs cricket earlier in the tour.
    Where is Natarajan......
    — Abulasath (@ItsAbulazad) January 6, 2021Saini instead of Natarajan?? Hmmm... #IndvsAus pic.twitter.com/dq1xSFtEzx
    — Sach Mein Utha Le (@Uthale_Re_Deva) January 6, 2021What a disappointment.. We all expected @Natarajan_91 Debut.. @BCCI https://t.co/p2Pd1xkrE6
    — Raghavan JV (@IamRagbon) January 6, 2021However, Natarajan’s spot was given to yet another pacer, Navdeep Saini, who too will finally get the opportunity to make his debut in red-ball cricket on Thursday.
    While Shardul Tharkur’s name was also floating following the second Test, it was Natarajan’s ability to bring variation to his deliveries that made him the top choice for spot in the absence of Umesh Yadav but the cap went to Saini nonetheless.

    With the resumption of cricket a few months ago, while every team has been busy trying to make the most of the lost time with crucial wins, Pakistan found itself witnessing a nightmare during their recently-concluded tour of New Zealand.
    Even before a single ball was bowled, the Pakistani cricket team had drawn flak after being reprimanded for breaching quarantine protocols. 
    If their irresponsible behaviour left the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) red-faced, the team's poor performance during the 2-1 loss in the three-match T20I series further added to their woes.

    After their loss in T20Is, Pakistan's misery continued in the two-match Test series where they were completely overshadowed by a rampant New Zealand brigade that romped to a 2-0 win. 

    A 101-run loss in the first Test was followed by a defeat of the magnitude of an innings and 176 runs at Christchurch, that left Pakistani fans up in arms on social media.

    — Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) January 5, 2021
    Amid all the flak, some criticism also came from Pakistani bowling legend Shoaib Akhtar who also slammed the PCB for bringing in "average" players into the team, leading to them playing "school level cricket".  
    In an explosive video shared on Twitter, Akhtar minced no words while analysing Pakistan's mediocre performance against New Zealand. 
    "The policies of the Pakistan Cricket Board is seeing them get what they had sowed. They keep bringing and playing average players, and they keep making an average team and will continue to do average work and because of this, average results will keep coming," Akhtar said in the video. 
    "Whenever Pakistan will play Test cricket, they will be exposed. They are playing school-level cricket and the management has made them school-level cricketers. And now they are again thinking to change the management but when will you change?" he added. 

    Apart from Akhtar, the likes of Mohammad Amir and Inzamam-ul-Haq also slammed PCB recently.  

    While Amir blamed the "yes boss culture" in the national team for his early retirement from international cricket, Inzy had slammed Pakistan bowling coach Waqar Younis for his comments over Babar Azam's injury.

    The Aayog has also prepared study material on cow science for the students to study. According to them, the exam will intrigue Indians to know more about cows and make them aware of the unexplored potential and business opportunities a cow can offer them even if it can’t give milk.

    After Sushant Singh Rajput’s mysterious death, Rhea Chakraborty faced the brunt of the public as they held her accountable for his demise. Following which, Sushant’s family had filed an abetment of suicide case against her. She was also arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau on a drug-related charge in a case linked to the actor’s death.

    Now, Rumi Jaffery, who was set to cast Sushant and Rhea in one frame, has spoken in favour of her and also said that he is positive that she will make a comeback in Bollywood in 2021. 
    “I am confident she will get through this phase. Everybody around will advise you to be brave, but only the one going through [the ordeal] knows how difficult it is. Time is the best healer; with time, she will be fine. She is a talented artiste and will be ready to bounce back,” he told Mid-Day.
    He also added that he has high regard for those who stood by her and supported her in her troubled phase. “People drew their own conclusions on the matter. Ideally, we should wait for the judiciary [to give its verdict]. Every coin has two sides, but Rhea should also get a fair trial. I have the highest regard for those who supported her then,” said the director.
    He had recently met Rhea and revealed that she is not her usual self and was withdrawn and quiet. She didn’t speak much and he can’t blame her after what she has gone through. He also added, "Let the heat and dust settle down. I’m sure Rhea will have a lot to say.”

    Have you been looking at small fonts for a bit too long? Do you like staring at the sun like Mr. Bachchan in Mohabbatein? Perhaps it feels like you’ve been glued to your laptop for ages.
    These are only a few reasons why you feel your vision is being compromised. But the most important one is ignoring eye care. 
    To be honest, there’s no miracle remedy to vision correction without professional help and there’s no quick fix for eyesight problems. But there are a few tools that can still help your eyesight naturally in the long run.    
    Get Some Good Food For The EyesNutrients that are necessary for good vision: Vitamin A, C and E, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthin).
    Foods that are rich in these vision-friendly nutrients: Carrots, amla, red peppers, broccoli, spinach, strawberries, sweet potato, citruses, berries, almonds, figs, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, salmon, leafy greens, zucchini, eggs.
    Add these to your daily diet and watch your eye muscles strengthen with time. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1037__
    Wear Protective SunglassesShades don’t just make you look cool, they also protect your eyes from conditions that stem from eye damage including cataracts, macular degeneration and pterygium (a growth tissue over the white portion of the eye). Pterygium can lead to blurred vision.
    Wearing sunglasses is one of the most important steps you can take to improve your eyesight. Go for a pair that blocks out 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB radiation from the sun.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1038__
    Eye Relaxation Is Must The best ways to relax your eyes are: Getting proper sleep (preferably with an eye pillow) and following the 20-20-20 rule.
    That means every 20 minutes, you should stop staring at your laptop screen and look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__737__
    Tried Eye Massage Yet?Use your index finger and thumb to massage the pressure points found on the inner edge of the eyes and around your eyes. Do it every day for 5 minutes to relax your eyes and have a clearer vision. It is best to use massage oil for better results. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1039__
    Eye Exercises To Strengthen The MusclesExercise 1: Sit on a chair. Keep your body relaxed and back straight. Cover one of your eyes with a hand. Take a pen and bring it to the eye level. Focus on its tip. Move the pen away and closer to your eyes and continue to focus on its tip. Repeat the same with the other eye. 5 reps per eye.
    Exercise 2: Practice throwing and catching a ball while maintaining your focus on the ball. 
    Exercise 3: Early in the morning, stand facing the sun and close your eyes. Make sure your eyes are relaxed. Move your head from right to left and left to right for 2 minutes allowing the rays of the sun to fall on the eyes.
    Exercise 4: Sit on a chair comfortably. Place a pillow on your laps for comfort. Rub your hands for a minute to generate heat. Gently place your palms. Keep your eyes open and count till 20. Let your eyes see the darkness inside your hands.   
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1040__
    The BottomlineYou may not connect your eyesight to your workouts, basic hygiene and diet but they all play an important role here. 
    These methods may not protect your vision from every single eye condition that exists but they can always lower your chances of developing an issue that hurts your eyesight.
