    Has it ever happened to you that you believed something to be true so wholeheartedly, that you never bothered to check the facts?  

    And then one fine day, all it takes is a single social media post and a quick google search to change it all and make you rethink every decision you’ve taken in your life, so far.

    Well, it seems like thousands of Indians are currently dealing with a similar predicament after it was recently announced that Bata, yes the famous shoe company every Indian loves and trusts, has chosen an Indian Global CEO for the first time in history.

    Sure enough, the news of Bata India CEO Sandeep Kataria bagging the coveted global role in the company’s 126-year history was a pleasant surprise, but what seems to have shocked many  others (including myself) is the realisation that Bata is, in fact, not an Indian company!

    Yes, you read that right. I really feel like that Instagram meme which trended recently and began with something like ‘I was today years old when I found out...Bata is not an Indian, but Swiss company’. 

    No wonder so many other millennials, who may have grown up witnessing their swadeshi-loving elders speak highly of this brand, assumed that Bata might just be another Tata product.
    But alas, how mistaken were we and just like that all our growing up years seem like a farce because we’re really questioning our belief system and sense of judgement. 
    But if it’s some consolation, check out all the others who are currently having a hard time dealing with this disillusionment.
    Congrats to the CEO tho from r/indiaI always thought Bata is an Indian brand!!!
    — KSN (@skarpa23) December 2, 2020For most of my youth, I thought #bata was an Indian company. Now Sandeep Kataria appointment made the company join Indian CEO wagon. Most Indians thought Philips was Indian too, so @FonsStoelinga used to say TCS is a Dutch company. https://t.co/KpNE7obiXZ
    — Kiran Madhunapantula (@Kiran_Hyderabad) December 1, 2020Bata feels so Indian but it's a Switzerland based Brand ( Lausanne based ) and finally getting an Indian CEO #sandeepkataria to be Global Head of #bata
    — Mudit (@MuditHastir) December 1, 2020It's a good thing that Bata appointed an India CEO for the first time. Most Indians think Bata is an Indian brand anyway
    — Aaliya (@Aaliya93370176) December 1, 2020Bata was always Indian brand for most of us.. until wiki arrived

    Sidharth Malhotra's style aesthetic has drastically transformed in the last couple of years. During the promotions of his first film, Student Of The Year back in the year 2012, Sid would stick to functional solids and conventional outfits. However, after spending over 8 years in the industry, he is now comfortable experimenting with rad style trends like never before.
    View this post on Instagram
    So, while he sticks to the classic formals that suit his tall frame when it comes to cleaning up well for the red carpet. It's his off-duty looks that are the real eye-ball grabbers. From giant sneakers to studded jackets, he's experimented with everything under the roof.
    This year, it looks like he's moving towards a more sustainable way of life. This has even started to reflect on his fashion choices. Case in point, a recent outfit. Take a look at the outfit here:

    Sid Malhotra was seen wearing a maroon solid sweatshirt with a pair of dull grey jeans. He completed the look with a cap and a pair of shades along with a mask. With these accessories, he was barely recognisable from distance.

    Coming back to his outfit, he was wearing a pair of white shoes that looked extremely dirty and worn out. In fact, it looked like Sid Malhotra and thrifted the shoes.

    If this, indeed is the case, it proves that Sidharth Malhotra is embracing a sustainable lifestyle.

    Online thrift stores have seen a rise in 2020. This year, there has been a special focus on homegrown brands and thrift stores. The range of stores not only give a line of options that are different from mainstream products but they're also environmentally sustainable. We're glad that Sid is part of this movement.

    Siddhant Chaturvedi gave one of his finest performances as MC Sher in the movie Gully Boy.  
    After delivering such a powerhouse performance in 2019, the actor is all set to make a comeback with several projects including Bunty Aur Babli 2, Phone Bhoot and Shakun Batra's untitled film starring Deepika Padukone, the shooting of which is in full swing.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Besides that, Siddhant, in an attempt to make it appear more nostalgic, wore his hoodie around his waist, instead of layering it on top of his T-shirt. 

    This was a trend famous in the 90s, where not just us, but many celebrities and movies also made this trend a huge part of their style scenario with an intention to create versatile looks just out of one staple piece. 
    We really like how Siddhant has tied the oversized hoodie around his waist and is making a statement with this uber-cool twist.

    Overall, we are completely on board with his latest style move and truly admire Siddhant for taking us back in time.

    One of the inevitable changes that every man has to deal with over the years is greying of the hair. If you already have a significant amount of hair that has turned grey, you have two options in front of you. You could either choose to dye them all black or let them be and embrace your new salt and pepper look.
    In fact, take a cue from actors like Suniel Shetty, R. Madhavan, and Akshay Kumar among others who have also easily adapted to their fresh salt and pepper look. So, if you too are looking to try out the salt and pepper look, here's what you should do:
    1. Embrace The Idea Of A Salt And Pepper Beard © Suniel Shetty
    Think of this transition as an adventure to explore an altogether new look. This also means you'll get to try out a range of new products and a whole new grooming routine to maintain this look. However, this could also mean finding a signature look for you that might really, really suit you.

    2. You'll Have To Decide On A Style To Begin With © Instagram/Milind Soman
    The grey strays can become coarser in texture over time. This could also mean your hair might be more frizzy than usual. Experiments with fades and cropped cuts around the back and sides. Ask your hairstylist for options and take reference images with you.

    On the contrary, if your hair is smooth and frizz-free, you can easily opt for longer styles. A beard with long salt and pepper hair can look great.
    3. The Grooming Stash  © Instagram/R. Madhavan
    You'll have to start investing in shampoos that specialise in grey hair. These contain purple pigments that add a striking metallic sheen to the greys while nourishing the rest of the hair at the same time. You will also have to invest in a conditioner that helps tame your hair so they don't end up frizzy by the end of the day. Lastly, a hair serum can help maintain a sheen which is important when it comes to an enviable salt and pepper hairstyle.

    We all really need to start caring about the environment, it's high time. And one of the biggest aspects of that is actually preserving existing trees and also planting new ones.
    And, that's why the Supreme Court not allowing the Uttar Pradesh government to cut down nearly 3,000 trees is one of the best news we've heard recently. And, the savage way they countered all the points in the proposal is the cherry on top.
    The state wanted to cut 2,940 trees to widen roads around a 25-km stretch leading to a Lord Krishna temple in Mathura district and offered to pay ₹138.41 crore compensation.

    The court has ordered the UP government to present an accurate report on this account in four weeks.

    Moreover, when the point of traffic slowing down if the road isn't wide enough came up, the court had the perfect solution.
    They said, "Why do roads have to be laid in a straight line by cutting trees? Keep roads zigzag. It will reduce speed, lessen accidents on roads, and save many lives."

    Ranked second in ODI cricket, the Indian cricket team looked a mere shadow of themselves, let alone live up to their ranking, following two successive losses against Australia.  
    Some blamed it on the lack of match practice, others rued the absence of some key performers. But, India's doom was their own players who failed to make it count in crunch situations.
    From dreadful bowling performances, average batting shows to noticeable lapses in the field, the Indian cricket team failed to live up to the expectations. Virat Kohli and his team needed to make some changes and that's exactly what they did for the inconsequential 3rd ODI.

    Reeling at 152/5, Team India was staring at an embarrassing below-par-total when the likes of Hardik Pandya (92*) and Ravindra Jadeja (66*) bailed their team out of a precarious situation. The Indian all-rounders stitched an unbeaten partnership of 150 runs for the sixth wicket which played a key role in India posting a competitive total of 302 runs.

    Their unbeaten partnership is now the highest ever for the sixth wicket or lower in ODIs Down Under. It is also the highest sixth-wicket partnership ever recorded in an ODI game between India and Australia. 
    When it comes to India in ODIs, the partnership between Hardik and Jadeja is also the third-highest for the sixth wicket.

    For someone who was the second-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2020, Jasprit Bumrah looked a mere shadow of himself in the first two ODIs against Australia. 
    The Indian seamer had recorded poor bowling figures of 1-73 and 1-79 in the first two matches respectively. His dip in form was one of the key reasons behind India's slump in the ODI series.
    But, Bumrah finally managed to rediscover his form in the 3rd ODI where he conceded just 4.52 runs an over and took two wickets. The Indian pacer cleaned up Glenn Maxwell at a crucial stage to keep his team on top. 
    The sight of Bumrah bowling an inch-perfect yorker to dismiss Maxwell was long due and we're pretty sure the Indian fans would have loved it.
    3. Natarajan's Maiden Wicket Welcome to international cricket @Natarajan_91.

    A big wicket on debut

    After making waves for his notable performances in IPL 2020, Thangarasu Natarajan finally got his international debut in the 3rd ODI. And, it took him just 13 balls to take his maiden ODI wicket as he dismissed Marnus Labuschagne on a back-of-a-length delivery. 
    While the wicket allowed the 'Yorker King' to get his name in the wickets column, it also allowed India to end their poor run in the powerplays.
    Thanks to Natarajan's wicket, India finally managed to break their six-match long wicketless streak in the first powerplay in ODI cricket. It was for the first time in 55 overs and six matches that India had managed to take a wicket inside the first powerplay. 
    The Tamil Nadu seamer finished with figures of 2-70, but his maiden wicket will surely stay close to our hearts.

    While the dismal bowling was India's weakness during their two ODI losses, the dropped catches and ordinary fielding, too, played its part in leaving the visitors red-faced. 
    With a desperate attempt to eke out a consolation win, India didn't just look better in the bowling department, but also produced a much-improved fielding effort in the 3rd ODI.
    After an impressive performance with the willow, Jadeja produced a stellar effort in the field during Australia's run-chase. The 31st over saw debutant Cameron Green sweeping Kuldeep Yadav flat behind square. 
    While the ball was in the air for a while, it didn't just dip, but also curved, making it extremely difficult for Jadeja to catch it. But, despite running in from well behind square and negating the curve and dip, Jadeja took an excellent catch diving forward, perhaps highlighting the improved fielding standards of the team.

    Ghosting - this may not be the first time you have heard of this word, but maybe this is your first time experiencing it. We know there is no easy way of putting this, but it does hurt like crazy, eh?
    © Unsplash
    Now you agree that that friend of yours wasn’t ‘moping’ for no reason and that your ‘there are other fish in the sea’ advice does sound like a load of crap, doesn’t it? It really does boil down to experiencing things first hand to understand how bad things suck.

    But there’s a problem. The ghosting experiences your friends had seem different to what you’re going through, so you aren’t entirely sure if you have been ghosted or not. Worry not, these 7 things will confirm it for you.
    1. Enter The Dreaded Monosyllables © Unsplash
    The earliest sign that shows up is when words become scarce in your everyday conversations. From a few lines, it goes to a single sentence, a few words and eventually you begin to receive only monosyllabic responses or worse, just smileys.

    2. The Puppy Love Phase Had FadedWhen the two of you decided to ‘give this a try’, it did feel exhilarating. The conversation was lively, your dates were fun too and overall things did seem a lot exciting. But of late, you have felt things fizzle out and now it does feel like you’ve hit a dud merely at the six week mark.
    3. She Felt Like A ‘Dream Come True’ © Unsplash
    She did seem like the real deal, and you remember thinking ‘she’s too good to be true’ on more than one occasion. You guys almost had the same likes and dislikes, your food choices and past time indulgences seem to align perfectly well too and you’ve never had a major disagreement so far - but chances are all of that seemed to work because that is how they meant to keep it. None of it was perhaps real to begin with.

    4. The ‘Serious’ Business Didn’t Go WellThe one time you tried to say the three golden words to her, it kind of unsettled her. You could see she wasn’t ‘expecting’ it just yet, so you decided to push the ‘serious’ talk for later. What you need to understand here is that, women too can have commitment issues, and perhaps she felt it would be better to leave before things got serious. She didn’t want to ‘hurt’ you.
    5. Lately She’s Been ‘Unavailable’ A Lot © Unsplash
    Another sign guys need to pick up on quick is when suddenly she seems a lot busier than she used to be. She keeps cancelling plans or makes excuses for being MIA, and although none of it feels too convincing, you have no choice but to take a rain-check. Only, that doesn’t happen either.

    6. Her Social Media Seems ‘Dead’You have had your suspicions. She may not have been a social media addict, but she’s also not someone whose radio silence on social media can be called ‘normal’. Chances are you have been kept out of her social (media) activities not just offline but online too. Take the hint already!
    7. You Never Had A Real ‘Heart-To-Heart’ © Unsplash
    For as long as you have known each other or ‘been into each other’, you cannot claim to have had a real heart-to-heart conversation with her. Most of your conversations have been pretty surface level, and the two of you never got into the finer details in the time you were “together”. That is saying something, isn’t it?

    BONUS: If she has stopped replying to your calls and messages altogether, you’ve definitely been ghosted.

    A report by Macrumors details that Google’s vulnerability research team member has discovered an exploit in the Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL). 
    It is Apple’s proprietary mesh networking protocol that enables users to use features like AirDrop and SideCar on iPhones and iOS devices. 
    © Apple
    The vulnerability was devised by Ian Beer, a researcher at Project Zero (Employed by Google) and revealed details about the exploit in a 30,000-word blogpost. 

    The post shows, in detail, how a memory corruption bug in AWDl can give remote access to a user’s personal data to hackers and attackers. 
    This includes private data such as emails, photos, messages and even encrypted passwords stored in the iCloud keychain. 

    Macrumors says that “The vulnerability was discovered by Beer in a 2018 iOS beta that Apple accidentally shipped without stripping function name symbols from the kernel cache, offering a wealth of missing context about how bits of code fit together.”
    Beer was then able to find the code related to AWDL, identify it and target remotely using devices such as a laptop, Wi-FI adapters and a Raspberry Pi 4B. 
    The process took about six months to discover the exploit however once it was discovered, Beer could hack any iPhone that was in radio proximity. If an iPhone was close enough, he could steal all of the user’s data by running an arbitrary code. 
    © Youtube_Ian Beer
    Beer said in his blogpost “The takeaway from this project should not be: no one will spend six months of their life just to hack my phone, I'm fine.

    Instead, it should be: one person, working alone in their bedroom, was able to build a capability which would allow them to seriously compromise ‌iPhone‌ users they'd come into close contact with.
    Imagine the sense of power an attacker with such a capability must feel. As we all pour more and more of our souls into these devices, an attacker can gain a treasure trove of information on an unsuspecting target.”
    Apple patched the vulnerability earlier this year in May 2020 with the iOS 12.4.7 update and cited Beer’s findings in the patch notes. Apple said that the vast majority of users are already using the latest version of iOS where this vulnerability has been patched. 
    Having said that, if your iPhone is still using an earlier build, we advise updating to the latest version of iOS to avoid the above exploit.

    2020 saw a resurgence of vintage fashion trends and flared trousers with extra long silhouettes, which turned out to be a huge trend that made a way back into our closets. 
    If you do a little digging now, you will also discover how the majority of male celebrities started donning their flares in a unique way. While it's understandable that it's a tricky trend to pull off, let's not forget that wide-leg trousers are a really cool way to turn heads.

    If you are wondering as to why we have gone in-depth to talk about this particular trend, well, we have the king of flamboyance, Ranveer Singh, who recently made an appearance, wearing these pants and boy, we have to say he totally pulled it off.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Ranveer's fashion choices have mostly been eccentric and outlandish but it all seems to work out well for him. 

    Be it clashing prints, OTT silhouettes, patterned skirts, give this stellar actor any damn fashion trend and he will make it all look eclectic. 
    © Viral Bhayani
    He did the same yet again as he was seen wearing a pair of flared pants in a vibrant purple shade. His latest unconventional style demanded all the attention and here's why we say that.

    Ranveer has worked a lot of accessories here. He is wearing a colourful, vibrant bucket cap. That paired with round sunglasses and a full-size face mask look playful and kitschy. 
    Certainly, most people wouldn't dare to wear so many colours in public but that's classic Ranveer and he knows how to shine through and through.
    © Gucci
    Moreover, he also knows how to club several statement pieces together. 

    He is seen here wearing Gucci's Monogram Intarsia Striped Wool Sweater. The interlocking GG moniker has been rendered on the jumper and is packed with a knitted pattern, with contrasting design on the collar and the sleeves.
    And since this sweater is by Gucci, let us also tell you that it is worth almost Rs 1 lakh, that too without the customs and import duties.
    © Viral Bhayani
    The same sweater has been layered with a red collared checkered jacket. 

    Coming to pièce de résistance of the whole look, his pants. Ranveer has maintained the loud colour palette here, and the pants, with its unique cut, are adding more character to the flamboyant aesthetic here. 
    The silhouette is a little longer than usual and yet is perfectly complementing every damn piece of his outfit, including his chunky sneakers. 
    With that, it also looks like the pants are at least a size bigger than his original size due to the extra-wide silhouette, flaring a bit from the sides.
    Overall, we are impressed by this latest style move. Here's hoping Ranveer continues to bombard us with more of such unconventional looks.

    Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Tuesday passed the AP Gaming (Amendment) Bill 2020 imposing a ban on online games in the state. This decision follows some unfortunate events of some youngsters committing suicides in recent days after they were pushed into debt by playing some online games.
    This has more to do with online gambling services than any other normal online games. Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy spoke about this Gaming Amendment Bill and noted how youngsters have been committing suicides after they were pushed into financial debt.
    © Reuters
    Home Minister M Sucharita also explained the objective behind amending the gaming law and pointed out how online gambling could induce criminal behavior in society and increase the number of organized crimes. These crimes include but are not limited to money laundering and fraud.

    Under the amendment, the first offense attracts imprisonment of up to one year and a fine of Rs 5,000. For every subsequent offense, the term of imprisonment might extend up to two years and a fine of Rs 10,000. It's also worth pointing out that every offense under this will be non-bailable.
    © Unsplash
    This particular news follows Tamil Nadu's ban on online games in the state citing similar reasons. In fact, it comes a little over a week following the ban in TN.

    We'll be closely following this news for further developments, so keep an eye out for an update. There's always an option to bring proper regulations in place instead of banning but we hope this decision will bring a positive impact on society.
