    As the farmers’ protest is continuing to grow bigger in the country, people,not only from India, but from across the globe are standing in solidarity with them in this revolution and it's the kind of unity we don't get to see every day.
    As part of the 'Dilli Chalo' protest, farmers had been marching towards Delhi to peacefully fight against the Centre's farm laws that would curb their income,  leaving them at the "mercy" of big corporates.

    In a bid to show solidarity with farmers in India, protests have erupted  across places in New York. People are also playing loud Punjabi patriotic songs on the roads to show their support.

    Tens of thousands of farmers have arrived in tractors and trailers, many traveling hundreds of miles, to block roads into New Delhi and protest recently passed pro-market agricultural policies which they fear will lead to a takeover of the industry by large, politically connected corporations. In India, more than 60 percent of the population depends on agriculture to make a living. 
    Marching for days, facing down water cannons & teargas, sleeping on roads, and some even dying, these farmers are garnering support from all across the globe. 
    In order to show support to the farmers, the Sikh community in New York on Wednesday took to the streets. People in the videos can be seen shouting patriotic slogans with a placard in their hands which reads, “no farmer no food”.

    While the Modi administration has said that India’s farm policies need to be reformed to attract more investment, farmers say they were never consulted on the changes.

    The protest against the new farm laws is set to continue as talks between three Union ministers and farmer groups ended in a stalemate on Tuesday after they rejected the government's suggestion of a new committee to look into the issues raised by agitating farmers.

    The two sides, however, have decided to meet again on Thursday.

    Former WWE wrestler ‘The Great Khali’ joined the farmers’ protest at the Tikri border on Tuesday. The 7-foot tall wrestler, who is originally from Punjab, stood with the farmers in the protest against the ‘black’ farm laws and also urged the people of the country to support the farmers in the same.

    Farmers continue to protest against the farm bills at many locations around Delhi and people have been extending their help to them. The two bills presented in the parliament in the year 2018 were holding key to loosening the deadlock between the government and the protesting farmers in North India. However, both the bills haven’t been considered yet.
    The farmer’s protest has now entered the seventh day of the Dilli Chalo march and talks between the farmer unions and the government remains inconclusive. The next round of talks is scheduled for Thursday.

    The Great Khali took to Instagram and shared a video of himself participating in the protest. In the video, the former WWE star explained the losses that the farmers have faced or will face the Farm Laws and appealed to the government to roll back the legislation.

    Khali also said that the farmers won’t return back until their demands were met and that they were given at least six month’s worth of ration.

I haven't been able to travel, but now that flights are becoming safer, I plan to go there soon. Since it's a rural belt, the welfare of the farmers is my primary concern. I'm also looking out for youngsters, particularly students. I got into politics to make the lives of those who elected me better. I'm happy doing this and they are happy with what I have done and what I can do. There are a lot of dreams, not for myself, but for them.”

    For what the world has endured in 2020, the year 2019 will surely seem memorable now for many of us. But, not for Sanjay Manjrekar. 
    The Indian cricketer-turned-commentator would surely like to forget 2019 as arguably one of the worst years for him, personally. It was the same year when the 'bits and pieces' controversy earned him flak before an on-air spat with a fellow commentator spelt his doom.
    The unwarranted antics of the 55-year-old commentator, eventually, led to his axing from BCCI's commentary panel earlier this year which forced him to watch the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) season from the sidelines. 
    After a relatively quieter year, Manjrekar was back with his critical assessments, perhaps a bit toned-down, of the cricketers.
    © AP
    While Pandya played the role of the aggressor early on, Jadeja took over from him in the death overs to accelerate the scoring rate. The left-hander smashed five fours and three sixes in his 50-ball innings that came at a strike-rate of 132, playing a key role in helping India post a competitive total of 302 runs.

    A brilliant performance with the willow by Jadeja was eventually dubbed as a befitting response to Manjrekar's latest comments by fans on social media.  
    Many took to Twitter to troll the Indian commentator and probe him for a response on Jadeja's recent batting performance.

    "I am not a big fan of bits and pieces players which Jadeja is at this point of his career in 50-over cricket. I would rather have a batsman and a spinner," Majrekar had said during the World Cup in England last year.

    The pandemic hasn't ended but most industries have started work again and this includes Bollywood as well. 
    Films have resumed shoots whilst taking the necessary precautions mandated by the government amid the coronavirus crises. 
    Even Shakun Batra has started shooting his next, yet-to-be-named film starring Siddhant Chaturvedi, Deepika Padukone, and Ananya Pandey, who we often see on the move for shoots or rehearsals.
    © Viral Bhayani
    In fact, recently they were even seen together for a Diwali party at Siddhant's place. This is when Siddhant had worn a sherwani by Anamika Khanna and then repurposed it later for his Instagram feed.

    © Viral Bhayani
    It looks like Siddhant is set to play a rather vivacious character in Batra's film. This can be attributed to his recent, highly-experimental outfits that he had worn for the shoot recently. 

    From a pair of well-fitted 'jorts' to vibrant printed shirts, his outfits left no stone unturned.
    © Viral Bhayani
    In fact, recently, Siddhant was seen yet again in an outfit in line with this aesthetic with a rather surprising addition in the form of an accessory. 

    Take a look at his outfit right here:
    © Viral Bhayani
    Siddhant was seen wearing a black printed shirt with leaves on it, a transparent pair of shades, and blue sneakers to complete the look. 

    However, if you look up close, you will also notice the mini Marshall Kilburn II black Bluetooth speaker that he's carrying like a handbag. 
    The speaker is priced at Rs 24,999.
    © Viral Bhayani
    The version that Siddhant is carrying is visibly sleek and portable, which makes it a definite collectable. 

    It clearly has the potential to double up as a fantastic fashion accessory besides its usual function of being a potent speaker, to begin with. 
    © Viral Bhayani
    Lastly, an outfit styled with a speaker can also send you back to the hit song Stereo Hearts by Gym Class Heroes. 

    We wonder if Siddhant was playing a song while walking because the sight of that would've been spectacular.

    There is always an old Tweet, just waiting there patiently to make a spectacular comeback. And, this time, the revival of a particular old Tweet is so ironic that it's making people question a lot of things.
    The ongoing farmers' protest is getting stronger and stronger every day, as they are fighting against the new laws by the government. 
    Everyone has the Constitutional right to protest peacefully and they're just practising theirs, even if it's cruelly being met with water cannons and tear gas.
    © Reuters
    These farmers need support from every single person in the country because they are the ones providing us with the food we consume on a regular basis. 

    In a time like this, you would think that just the sheer number of people protesting would make the government listen to their pleas, and actually support them, but it seems that's just too much to ask for.
    We're all waiting for PM Narendra Modi to actually speak up about what's currently happening in the capital and being the leader of the country, help out the people in distress.
    © Reuters
    Well, in a twist no one expected, PM Modi did support the farmers, but just in a different year. 

    In a tweet from right before he was elected as the Prime Minister of India back in 2014, he clearly sided with farmers wanting a fair price for their hard work.
    Why should our farmers not get the right price? Farmers are not begging, they worked hard for it & should get good prices.
    — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) April 6, 2014
    Six years later, the Tweet still applies and that says a lot about the condition of the country right now and how much we have actually 'progressed' in the last six years.
    His stance changing so wildly when he went from the opposing leader to the actual leader is shocking for everyone and people just want to know what changed that he's not acknowledging the most important thing that is going on in the country.

    Forced to endure the embarrassment of two successive defeats, the Indian cricket had nothing but pride to play for in the 3rd One-Day International (ODI) against Australia in Canberra on 2nd December. With Australia already sealing a 2-0 series win, India did opt for some noticeable changes at the top of the batting order and also in the bowling department.
    Bringing young Shubman Gill in for struggling Mayank Agarwal looked like a good move, but India found themselves on the back foot as early as the sixth over following the cheap dismissal of Shikhar Dhawan (16). A 56-run partnership between Gill (33) and Virat Kohli (63) was bringing India's innings back on track when the former fell prey to Ashton Agar.
    © AP
    For someone who has consistently struggled in the series, Shreyas Iyer did little to improve his reputation as he, once again, got dismissed for a mediocre score, this time 19 runs. Just like Iyer, KL Rahul, too, couldn't make the most of the last ODI as he got out for mere 5 runs.

    Though losing wickets at regular intervals was hurting India, the biggest blow came when Kohli was undone by Jos Hazlewood.
    Reeling at 152/5 and staring at an embarrassing below-par total, India needed a solid partnership that eventually came through Hardik Pandya (92*) and Ravindra Jadeja (66*). The Indian all-rounders added a game-changing 150 runs for the sixth wicket which played a key role in taking the visitors to a competitive total of 302 runs.
    © AP
    Despite losing the prominent batsmen in the side, India benefited heavily from the way Hardik and Jadeja went about their business. The Indian duo built their innings responsibility before exploding in the death overs to accelerate the scoring rate. 

    And, the fact that the last five overs of India's innings yielded 76 runs goes on to show how clinical the two Indian batsmen were for their team.
    © AP
    If it wasn't for the valuable contributions of Hardik and Jadeja, India, without a doubt, couldn't have possibly managed to post such a total on the scoreboard. But, apart from that, the partnership between Hardik and Jadeja also allowed them to enter the history books. 

    Their unbeaten partnership of 150 runs 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.
    Superb partnership @imjadeja and @hardikpandya7 job done.. backing our bowlers to come good today .. Chak do fatte shero @BCCI
    — Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) December 2, 2020
    When it comes to India in ODIs, the partnership between Hardik and Jadeja is also the third-highest for the sixth wicket. The 160-run partnership between Ambati Rayudu and Stuart Binny against Zimbabwe in 2015 remains the highest sixth-wicket partnership ever recorded in ODIs for India. 
    Also, the 158-run partnership between MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh, that came against Zimbabwe in 2005, remains on the second spot.

    There’s finally some respite for people across the world, as it looks like we finally have the first COVID-19 vaccine set for public use. 

    © AFP
    The United Kingdom has become the first western country to license a vaccine against Coronavirus, paving the way for mass immunisation with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for those most at risk. 

    UK authorises Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, to be made available across the country from next week pic.twitter.com/gHVXZ98cLD
    — ANI (@ANI) December 2, 2020 As per the news reports, the vaccine has been authorised for emergency use by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority (MHRA), ahead of decisions by the US and Europe. 
    The MHRA was given the power to approve the vaccine by the government under special regulations before 1 January, when it will become fully responsible for medicines authorisation in the UK after Brexit.
    When Will The Vaccine Be Launched A news report in The Guardian mentioned that the first doses of the vaccine will arrive in the coming days, according to the company. 
    The UK has bought 40m doses of the vaccine, which has been shown to have 95% efficacy in its final trials. 
    © counterpoint research
    “Today’s emergency use authorisation in the UK marks a historic moment in the fight against Covid-19. This authorisation is a goal we have been working toward since we first declared that science will win, and we applaud the MHRA for their ability to conduct a careful assessment and take timely action to help protect the people of the UK,” Albert Bourla, the chairman and chief executive officer of Pfizer said. 

    “As we anticipate further authorisations and approvals, we are focused on moving with the same level of urgency to safely supply a high-quality vaccine around the world. With thousands of people becoming infected, every day matters in the collective race to end this devastating pandemic.”
    Who Will Get The Vaccine First  © Reuters
    The first priority groups for vaccination are the Care Home residents, who may not be able to come to a vaccination centre, together with the staff who look after them. 

    At fridge temperatures, it may be possible for the vaccine to be brought to them. Next in line will be the over-80s and NHS staff.
    Here’s What The Trial Data Showed The trial data showed the vaccine had equal efficacy among younger volunteers and those over 65 who are most at risk from Covid. Gender, race and ethnicity also made no difference. 
    © BCCL
    Pfizer and BioNTech say their combined manufacturing network has the potential to supply globally up to 50m vaccine doses in 2020 and up to 1.3bn doses by the end of 2021.

    Other Details The delivery of the UK’s 40m doses will start immediately. UK Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, has said he expects 10m doses to arrive this year. 
    Delivery will continue throughout 2020 and 2021 in stages “to ensure an equitable allocation of vaccines across the geographies with executed contracts.” 
    The US, which has ordered 100m doses, and Europe, which has bought 200m, are expected to approve the vaccine within weeks. 
    © Reuters
    The MHRA has moved with unprecedented speed to grant emergency use authorisation within just a week, having received the final data from the companies on 23 November. It has been carrying out a rolling approval process, scrutinising data from early trials as they came in. 

    “The emergency use authorisation in the UK will mark the first time citizens outside of the trials will have the opportunity to be immunised against Covid-19,” said Ugur Sahin, the CEO and co-founder of BioNTech. 
    “We believe that the rollout of the vaccination programme in the UK will reduce the number of people in the high-risk population being hospitalised. Our aim is to bring a safe and effective vaccine upon approval to the people who need it. The data submitted to regulatory agencies around the world are the result of a scientifically rigorous and highly ethical research and development programme,” Sahin added. 
    Well, this certainly gives us all hope for a better future and finally, a COVID-free world!

    The ongoing Farmers’ protest has caused quite a stir not only at the Delhi-Haryana border but also on social media. People from all walks of life have an opinion on the matter, regardless of how half-baked or problematic their arguments might be.

    However, without getting into the discussion regarding what’s the ‘bigger issue’ here is, let’s talk about how the sense of community and collective well-being is ingrained within the Sikh community, who never leave a stone unturned when it comes to serving humanity, even amidst personal turmoil.

    Just an hour ago, singer Mika Singh took to his social media accounts to share how the protestors provided the on-duty police with Langar. Many NGOs have been working to provide the protesting farmers with food supplies, and with their help even the police officers got a taste of farmers’ unbridled kindness in the form of steaming plates of delicious Langar amid the winter chill.

    Sharing pictures of the same, Mika wrote, “Good morning Look at how these beautiful farmers are protesting peacefully. This is also the 1st time that those protesting are providing Langar to the police. That’s called the Punjabi’s. I salute @unitedsikhs @letshelpdivinetouch and @khalsaaid_india @khalsa_aid for meeting the farmers basic needs. I’m sure that the Govt will take serious action and support our farmers. I always stand with our farmers, because of whom we have food to eat.”

    This is yet another reminder that a little kindness and empathy goes a long way, and it wouldn’t be incorrect to say that the farmers and the Sikh community has always shown us what selflessness looks like and maybe all of us can learn a thing or two from them.
