    This year has been filled with rare, once in a lifetime moments, and finally, there's something actually positive happening in that category.
    Today is the exciting day when the rare Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will happen. While both of those planets pass each other nearly once every 20 years, this time, when they're crossing paths, it's a little different.
    The great conjunction. Jupiter and Saturn. Taken at 17:20 20/12/2020 N. Dorset. UK. #LookUp @sarahcruddas pic.twitter.com/Gux4m80rwc

    Here's what makes it so special: according to NASA, "It's been nearly 400 years since the planets passed this close to each other in the sky, and nearly 800 years since the alignment of Saturn and Jupiter occurred at night, as it will for 2020, allowing nearly everyone around the world to witness this 'Great conjunction'."

    Anyone with binoculars or a small telescope will obviously get a better view and will be able to see the four moons surrounding Jupiter.
    The Livestream of the entire event will also be available on NASA's website as well as Facebook and YouTube pages.Β  Β

    While Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma might have asserted their domination in media as a power couple, the love story of Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh has equally captured the imagination of fans. The Mumbai batsman met the love of his life on the sets of a promotional shoot and soon found her managing his commercial interests.
    As the stature of Rohit grew in Indian cricket, so did his relationship with Ritika. Despite working together in a professional capacity, the duo shared a good rapport and quickly became friends. It was their friendship that laid the foundation of their relationship which, in turn, instigated the Indian opener's decision to propose Ritika.

    On 13th December 2015, the couple tied the knot and, since then, there has been no turning back for the couple. The duo has been going strong and also became proud parents of a baby girl in 2018. The love that the couple share was once again in full display as Rohit wished his wife on her 33rd birthday.

    Taking to Instagram, the Mumbai Indians captain shared a series of adorable photographs where he was seen in the company of his lovely wife. "Happy birthday darling, love you forever @ritssajdeh," Rohit captioned his post.
    Earlier this month, the couple celebrated their fifth marriage anniversary. Wishing her hubby, Ritika had also put a series of photographs with Rohit on Instagram. "Happy 5 my love @rohitsharma45 I call dibs on you for all our future lifetimes," she captioned her post.

    OnePlus unveiled a new concept OnePlus 8T phone that is somewhat odd as it features a new type of colour-shifting glass that is slightly different from the Concept One. OnePlus’ previous concept phone used an electrochromic glass that would hide the camera module from the back of the phone and only become translucent when the camera app would be launched. However, in this case, the new colour shifting glass makes use of 5G mmWave technology for some nifty new features that will change how we interact with smartphones altogether.Β Β 
    The smartphone uses a multi-hued glass material that OnePlus likes to call Electronic Color, Material and Finish or ECMF. The colour changing film contains metal oxide in the glass where the valence state of the metal ions varies under different voltages. In practice, the colour of the glass changes from a dark blue hue to a light silver whenever the metal oxide activates. This has been best demonstrated from the gif below that shows the transformation. While this colour change is more of an aesthetic transformation, there are some other uses that OnePlus is making use of with 5G mmWave technology.Β

    OnePus claims the ECMF design can change how users interact with their smartphones by using the mmWave radar. This module can transmit and receive electromagnetic waves which can be used to perform signal and information processing. Each time the module received an electromagnetic wave, the device can perceive, image, locate, and track objects according to OnePlus.Β 

    The smartphone company believe it can open β€œa wide range of possibilities for how people interact with their smartphones.” The companies believe there can be many uses for something they call β€œReactive Sensing.”
    Β© OnePlus
    In the press note, OnePlus claims, β€œECMF could flash colours for an incoming call, and users could accept or reject the call with a simple gesture. That will allow users to control the OnePlus 8T Concept using gestures without even touching the device.” 

    The second use case OnePlus claims that this new technology can transform the phone into a breaking monitor.Β 
    Β© OnePlus
    β€œThe mmWave technology can register a user’s breathing, enabling the colour to change in sync and effectively making the phone a biofeedback device. The OnePlus 8T ECMF breathes with you.”

    It seems like OnePlus is trying to push the boundaries of how smartphones can be used in the near future. However, we still don’t know how it will work in practice. While this new technology still remains a concept, it would be interesting to see if OnePlus makes this a legitimate feature in future smartphones. We still haven’t seen OnePlus translate its electrochromic glass tech to smartphones yet and the case might remain the same for the concept as well.Β

    Making his international debut as a 17-year-old fiery seamer, Mohammad Amir has arguably witnessed it all in his career. The left-arm seamer arrived with a promise of becoming one of Pakistan's greatest fast bowlers before throwing it all away following his role in the infamous 2010 spot-fixing scandal.
    In a matter of months, Amir went from being a hero to a villain. Once amongst the hottest pace bowling prospects in international cricket, Amir was handed a critical blow after he was slapped with a five-year ban. He eventually returned to the playing field after completing his ban but it wasn't easy for him.

    Returning to all forms of cricket in 2015, Amir faced an uphill battle, not only to perform with the ball, but also win back the love and trust of fans. And, Amir didn't disappoint. His exploits in the 2016 Asia Cup, where he ran through India's top-order in one of the games, remains a testimony to his remarkable return.
    Since then, Amir has done fairly well to reshape his career and rebuild his reputation in international cricket. But, the struggles he endured still haunts him. In a YouTube video, Amir disclosed how his teammates mistreated him upon his return before finding the much-needed support from Shahid Afridi.

    "The entire team was on one side and did not want to play with me but Shahid bhai said, 'Amir will play come what may'. I will always be thankful to these two. This is not an emotional decision. I took this step after putting much thought into it,” See, not everyone has (the same) guts as I have. If I made a mistake, I came clean in front of everyone and apologised for it as well and faced this issue," Amir said in a YouTube video.
    The fast bowler also thanked the almighty for helping him script an impressive return. "I came back and with Allah’s help bowled a very good spell at the Asia Cup and then became the first bowler to take a hat-trick in the PSL. I also helped Pakistan win the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. He said he has a problem with the 'Yes Boss' culture in PCB. I have reservations with the current team management. This 'yes boss, yes boss culture' cannot be allowed to go on," Amir added.

    Targeting the Pakistan team management, Amir also slammed head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis for "spoiling" image. "These people have been trying to slowly poison people's minds by saying that I didn't want to play Test cricket and only wanted to play in T20 leagues to earn money. They built a narrative that I had let down the team despite all the investment in me," Amir said.
    "They have tried to spoil my image and it takes a lot of hard work to build your image. It was a very hard decision for me but I think the time has come when one shouldn't keep quiet. I took this decision to raise this issue and let people know what is happening," the seamer added.
    Few days ago, Amir sent shockwaves across the cricket community after announcing his retirement from international cricket at the age of just 28. The left-arm bowler was one of the bowling mainstays for Pakistan. He also took 259 wickets in 147 matches for his country.Β  Β

    There have been talks of eSports becoming an official sport in the Olympics however it was met with hesitancy until the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a shift this year. Some of the games slated for the future at the Asian Games include Overwatch, Games by Tencent Games and possibly other games such as League of Legends or DOTA 2. An entire list was not shared by the organisers however it did tag the Overwatch League and Tencent Games in its announcement tweet.Β

    Director Hansal Mehta's latest offering Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story starring Pratik Gandhi in the lead role has been the talking point as people were impressed by the strong story and characters. Fans were surprised when the show was seemingly snubbed at the recent Filmfare OTT Awards 2020.
    People took to Twitter to express their disappointment as the show and Pratik deserved to be celebrated.
    Here’s what people have been saying on the social platform:
    Well deserved actor,, kuchh mila ki nahi inko...

    β€” geetanjali dixit (@geet8dixit) December 20, 2020As many were echoing the same emotions as they were upset with the favoritism. Hansal Mehta has finally responded to it and said that Filmfare wasn’t unfair at all.
    He wrote, β€œSeeing many tweets echoing similar sentiments. #Scam1992 was released much after the cutoff date for this year’s #FilmfareOTTAwards. Hence it was not eligible for nomination. Our biggest award is the love we continue to receive from you.”

    Pratik has been getting rave reviews for his portrayal of Harshad Mehta. In an interview with MensXP, he had said, β€œI was, in fact, very intrigued by his character. It’s not about playing a hero or villain. It’s about creating a character that people think it’s happening right in front of them. My job was to create that experience so that people even after knowing the end want to know what happens next and there’s a sense of curiosity in them. Well, that’s the fun of biopics. I have already played such biographical characters on stage and I genuinely find them interesting. I always love portraying the complexities of human emotions.”
    Have you watched the show?

    Elon Musk visited the Ashton Martin manufacturing unit in the year 2008 and at that time he was treated as an β€˜amateur car builder’. However, he is at the moment the owner of the world’s best automobile corporations.

    The CEO of Aston Martin had acted quite grumpy with him over the years as and when Elon Musk toured its manufacturing units. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO took to Twitter to respond to the incident in a funny tweet.
    Checkout the tweet here-
    He was indeed quite grumpy, but we did not actually know what we were doing, so he had a point
    β€” Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 17, 2020
    The same incident was described in 2015 in an e-book named Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance. However, the incident went viral after the tweet that was posted recently.
    Tesla Owners Silicon Valley took to Twitter saying, β€œHey @elonmusk how did your visit in 2008 to @astonmartin change what you did with @tesla? when Musk visited Aston Martin to see a tour of its factory, the CEO treated @elonmusk β€˜like an amateur car builder.”
    To which Elon Musk responded saying, β€œHe was indeed quite grumpy, but we did not actually know what we were doing, so he had a point.”
    Here’s what people on the internet have to say about this-
    Powerful! Just image in 15 years when we post side by sides of starship prototypes being stacked ring by ring vs the starship factory cranking them out for the Mars fleet. I can’t wait!
    β€” Robben4days (@Robben4days) December 17, 2020Given that Aston Marton apparently has zero plans to go electric, I doubt he has any regret. It's more likely that he still thinks Tesla is an aberration that will go bankrupt any day now and AM will be able to continue making ICE cars without worrying about this whole EV "fad."

    Varun Dhawan has always been someone who despite being extremely fashionably aware, keeps it real and doesn't opt for extreme theatrics. His happy-go-lucky, laidback persona makes up for the lack of avant-garde elements, but sometimes he does go down the 'experimental avenue' too. Case in point, his latest appearance in a charming brown outfit.
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    Even though we really dig the head to toe coordinated suede brown awesomeness, what immediately caught our attention was his choice of footwear. Varun is wearing a pair of brown Chelsea suede boots with cowboy heels with respectable height, that is giving his outfit that extra edge.

    Β© Viral Bhayani
    He anyway has exhibited a fondness for statement footwear in the past.

    When it comes to the rest of his outfit, the usage of the cool blue T-shirt in contrast with the warm overall suede tone was an absolute win.

    All we can say is, we love this perfect mix of being demure and edgy at the same time.
