    China has made it to the headlines once again but this time for a totally bizarre reason. It has now come up with a unique recommendation for cabin crew. According to a Bloomberg report, the aviation regulator has advised cabin crew on charter flights to high-risk COVID routes to wear disposable diapers. Yes, you read that right!

    Tarun Gill gave up his comfortable corporate job and the luxurious life of an investment banker and made a decision to become the voice of Indian athletes back when he started his YouTube channel in 2016. 
    “What’s unique about the Indian athletes, be it a bodybuilder, a wrestler or a kabaddi player, is that they are good with their sport but they can’t represent themselves. They can’t talk. Our infrastructure doesn’t allow them to represent themselves,” Tarun says.

    “So my job was to put those stories out there for people to see what struggles these guys go through,” he adds.
    We got in touch with the pioneer to understand what the life of an average bodybuilder in India looks like and here’s what he had to say.
    How much does an average Indian bodybuilder earn? View this post on Instagram
    According to Tarun, a bodybuilder who is serious about competing and is completely dedicated to the sport ends up spending between Rs. 2 lakh and Rs. 3 lakh while preparing for a single competition, while the competition doesn’t pay them more than Rs. 20,000 (if they win it).
    “Bodybuilding is not even a recognised sport in India,” he says. “It comes under ‘lifestyle’ and the competitors aren’t even considered as athletes.”
    Tarun believes that the economic range of a bodybuilder ultimately boils down to how “marketable” they are. 
    “On an average, a bodybuilder can earn anywhere between Rs. 30,000 and Rs. 30 lakh per month, depending on how he or she is working as a brand, on social media, while training others, and as brand ambassadors for various products,” he adds.
    What does the life of a female bodybuilder look like in India? View this post on Instagram“You have to understand that the ratio of female bodybuilders to male bodybuilders is around 1:15 and there is a very specific reason for that,” says the YouTuber.
    “A woman has to wear a bikini on stage during a competition and most of these competitions were very local, in terms of the people who come to watch the show. It is very mohalla driven and it often used to get embarrassing for ladies to participate.”
    However, Tarun believes that things are changing now. A lot of big competitions for women have begun and some big names from the female bodybuilding industry in India including people like Sonali Swami have become the leaders of the new era.

    On the financial front, it becomes a lot more rewarding for women (as compared to men) simply because the number of participants competing for the prize money is relatively low.
    “Another fact is that most of the women who are professional bodybuilders in India are well educated. They have achieved professional degrees, have worked in different sectors and only then have chosen to become bodybuilders out of passion and interest,” he adds.
    How much does a bodybuilder’s family contribute towards their success or failure?
    The role of the family, especially that of a bodybuilder’s spouse, is of tantamount importance. With age and experience and living with them over the years, they come to understand the physical and mental pain a bodybuilder goes through while preparing for a competition.
    In the final couple of weeks ahead of a major contest, the athlete takes away some essential requirements like water and salt from their daily diet. The lack of carbohydrates doesn’t help either. As a result, they become erratic, short-tempered, and quick to lash out on those they are close to.
    “I remember doing an interview in which the bodybuilder was about to get married and he told me how his fiancee managed to adapt to his way of living. Failing to understand why a person would want to put their body through hell at first, his fiancee truly backed him up once she grasped the reason,” Tarun says.
    What happens if a bodybuilder dies at a young age?
    People are quick to presume and blame a bodybuilder for taking steroids and anabolics as soon as news of his ill-health or even death breaks out. All his years of dedication and effort inside the gym or out there on the field, all his reputation goes out of the window within seconds.

    Tarun believes this type of mentality must change.
    “It is sad. Very sad. Do we have control over how much we live? No. When a bodybuilder dies, it could be a natural death but their loss of life doesn’t get the same recognition as that of an average human being who died at a young age.”
    “Most of these bodybuilders sign up for such a lifestyle. They know that they have to do extreme things to get extreme results. Definitely, excess of anything can be detrimental to one’s health but to pin someone’s death on anabolics is definitely wrong when the cause of death may be natural,” he says.
    What is the dark side of bodybuilding?
    In order to become successful in any sport, an athlete must go through a lot of struggle on and off the field. From batting for hours in the sun for cricketers to acing their strokes to runners and sprinters dealing with torn ligaments and broken bones, everyone goes through something or the other. So what’s the dark side of bodybuilding?
    “The only dark side of the sport of bodybuilding according to me is how unrewarding it is,” Tarun says. “The kind of struggle a person puts himself through while competing, failing to win a medal and preparing again for the next competition, it definitely takes a toll on their health.”
    What makes Tarun Gill more than just another ‘content creator’?
    What is it that has allowed Tarun Gill to become such a great storyteller? What makes his 1.11 million YouTube subscribers come back to his channel and watch his videos again and again? What separates him from the rest of the herd of ‘online content creators’?
    The goal here is not to simply tell their stories and make money off it. It is about helping them live better lives as well. 
    “We did a video with a kid who said he was an orphan. Once the video was out, it inspired a lot of people and travelled all over the country. Within 10 days, a lady contacted me saying that her son used to look like him! After 15 years of living in separation, believing that they were dead, the boy and his mother finally reunited,” Tarun shares.
    View this post on Instagram
    Also, most of the videos that Tarun uploads under his platform ‘TG Talks’, in the description box, he ensures to add the mobile number of the athlete or the trainer the video is about. Doing this enables that athlete to have an opportunity to train the viewers with online sessions and support their own livelihood.
    “We are not just content creators. We have a purpose to help athletes live better lives. This is our intent and that’s what makes us so proud of our work.”

    Saif Ali Khan's fashion choices have always been unlike other B-town celebrities. 
    On one hand, there are actors who are usually seen in over-the-top outfits and then there is Saif, who doesn't really care much about how he has styled himself, and yet, manages to turn heads even if he is wearing a basic pair of pyjamas.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Over the years, Saif has been at the forefront of the fashion scenario. To say the least, he is a bonafide style icon that most of us look up to. 

    However, this time, the way he has coupled his ensemble can easily leave one scratching their heads and after looking at his outfit, we can't help but wonder, what was he thinking?
    Before we speak in detail about the bizarre trend, let's talk about his outfit.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Saif stepped out for his evening walk with his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan and is seen wearing a printed red bandana. Add to that, the ensemble has a very relaxed vibe and seems perfect for evening walks. 

    The way he has teamed his subtle blue T-shirt with navy blue joggers is a fool-proof, off-duty ensemble that's working really well for him.
    © Viral Bhayani
    But what's noteworthy here is how he has stuffed his socks into his joggers, and this is what we meant when we said the beginning of a bizarre trend. 

    I mean, no one would dare to wear such heavy pair of pants and wad it inside the socks, the way Saif has done it. 
    The ankle area, after emulating this trend, is also looking extremely padded. 
    We're confused if this was on purpose or was he actually trying to experiment with his fashion game.

    Coming to his sneakers, even they aren't an ordinary pair. 

    Saif usually steps out wearing his espadrilles or Kohlapuris, but this time, he wore a quirky pair of shoes for a walk. 
    The silhouette of the sneakers is chunky and the outsole has flexible traction. Add to that, these sneakers have a glow-in-the-dark detailing.

    Besides his recent sartorial escapade, another thing that caught everyone's attention was Saif's tattoo on his left arm. The design has an eye, encased inside several pyramids. 

    While there's no evidence if it's a real tattoo or a temporary one, his fans are calling it an 'Illuminati tattoo' and it has only elevated his overall look.
    Despite the fact that this trend is a bit strange, we still like how Saif has mastered it, in a casual, cool way.

    Yes, we’ve played the game and we know what you are probably wondering if you are here. You probably want to know how long it takes to beat Cyberpunk 2077 so that you can plan your life accordingly. Some people have taken offs from work while some are calling in sick to play the game. However, there are a few things you should know before you get immersed in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. 
    © CDProjekt Red, MesXP
    Now for the real question, how many hours will it take to beat Cyberpunk 2077? Well, that depends on the style you play. If you probably only play the main campaign and ignore side quests, it will be a fairly short game. However, we do recommend checking out many of the side missions as some of them have stories that are equally good if not better than the main campaign. We’ve taken into account every play style possible and here’s how long it will take to beat the game depending on your playing style:

    Main story: 18 hours
    Main story and extras: 43.5 hours
    Completionist: 105 hours
    All Playstyles: 30.5 hours
    Which is the Best Version?

    Cyberpunk 2077 is now available to play for everyone and the game is already breaking records for a single-player game, at least on ‘Steam’. Previously the record was held by Fallout 4 for most concurrent players in a single-player game with 472,962 gamers playing it at launch. Cyberpunk 2077 has now beaten that record with over 1,000,000 concurrent players on Steam.

    While over a million people were playing the game on Steam there were bound to be more players as Cyberpunk 2077 is available on other platforms such as GOG, Epic, GeForce Now and Stadia. The game is also available on consoles which means Cyberpunk 2077 might just be the most played game in the world right now. While writing this news piece, Cyberpunk 2077 had beaten PUBG and other popular games such as Among Us for the most concurrent players right now. 

    PUBG currently holds the record for the most players in a game on Steam with 3,257,248 people simultaneously trying their luck getting a chicken dinner. However, the game has now seen a huge drop in the number of players today due to lack of support and general interest in the game.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is now available across all platforms including different launchers on PC. If you are interested to know what the game is all about, check out our spoiler-free review in detail here. If you will be playing the game on Steam, you may face slow download speeds due to congestion. We advise you to change your region by going to Steam>Settings>Downloads. If you’re in Asia, we recommend switching to the Malaysia region if you want full download speeds for updates at the time being.

    Sanju Samson trained really hard ahead of the 2020 season of the Indian Premier League. In the post-match interview after leading his side Rajasthan Royals to victory early in the season, he explained how taking up strength training allowed him to hit shots with more power.

    In 2019, Samson also spoke to me personally and told me how his career has been a roller coaster ride. How he has gone up and down in the past couple of years, how he managed to keep his focus despite not not being included in the Indian national team for over four years.

    And then when he finally got the opportunity, he struck a six on the first ball and gave up his wicket on the second.
    This was back in November 2019. Even since, he has been dropped from the squad once but was fortunate enough to get a call for the tour Down Under. 
    A three-match T20I series against a dominating Australian side - it was supposed to be THE platform for Samson to prove his worth. It was the moment that could have erased all his mistakes of the past. It was meant to be the new beginning struggling cricketers of his age are desperate to achieve.
    Thats so fkin truee .. Hypocrisy.. #rishabhpant #SanjuSamson pic.twitter.com/zdNfwIvpnw

    Instead, Samson ended up being the most inconsequential member of the Men in Blue. 23 (15), 15 (10) and 10 (9), those were his scores in all three matches respectively. He couldn’t manage to hit more than two boundaries in any of the games, failed to exchange strikes with his partner on the pitch and ended up giving up his wicket in a hurry every single time.
    One insane show of fielding at the ropes to prevent a six, that was the only highlight of his T20I series against the Australians.

    Even in the third match, when Virat Kohli was trying to bring home the victory, he looked extremely uncomfortable while battling alongside Samson and as soon as the latter got out and Pandya came in, Kohli had the faith to switch gears and start swinging for the fences.

    Ahead of the third T20I, it was Virender Sehwag who said that he wouldn’t be surprised if Samson was not to be seen in the Playing XI after the two not-so-good matches.

    Team India veteran, Harbhajan Singh has now spoken about how the wicket-keeper batsman needs to learn from his mistakes and so do quickly or else someone else will replace him.
    “If he will not learn obviously someone else will come and take that slot. Because no.4 is a very important slot. If you have got the opportunity, you have to seal it. If not on this tour but next tour, you have to come better prepared and make sure you make it count,” Harbhajan said in an interview with India Today.
    Harbhajan Singh (told India Today):

    "Sanju Samson has got the opportunity to bat at No.4. He is still on his first or second tour, he will learn. If he will not learn obviously someone else will come & take that slot."#TeamIndia
    — Rajesh Khilare (@Cricrajeshpk) December 8, 2020
    Yes, the total number of international matches that Samson has played are still in single digits but it is also a fact that he has managed to score just 83 runs in all of them combined. The experience he has gained over all the years of playing in a massive tournament like the IPL must also be taken into account. 
    To those who say IPL experience does not count, one of the greatest examples to counter that argument comes from SunRiser Hyderabad’s T Natarajan who obviously got rewarded for a successful season by getting to make a debut in the recent series.

    The point is, there are only so many opportunities the team can afford to give to the newcomers. Especially when the line of talented batsmen trying to make a mark behind them seems to be endless. 
    Step up or step aside. It is harsh, it is brutal but it is also the reality.
