    What an Oscar is to the film fraternity, a Grammy is to musicians all across the world. Why the Grammys are so valuable lies in the fact that it serves as a global recognition for achievements in the music industry.

    And while getting a Grammy nomination itself is a big deal, winning the real thing is definitely priceless too. So what do you think would happen when an upcoming artist finds out that their maiden album, yes, the very first, has been nominated for a Grammy?

    Seems almost impossible, right? But Brooklyn-based Indian songwriter and singer, Priya Darshini, has made the impossible come true! Priya Darshini’s debut album, titled Periphery, has been nominated for this year's Grammy Awards, under the ‘Best New Age Album’ category.

    Sharing the news and her utter disbelief over the nomination, Priya Darshini shared on Twitter that she had recorded the Live album entirely on one mic and that getting a Grammy nomination almost feels dreamlike!

    I can’t believe it!!! My debut album PERIPHERY is nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age Album category! A Live album, recorded entirely on ONE Mic getting a nod from the Academy is really quite surreal. https://t.co/zhPRYuwgYJ
    — Priya Darshini (@priyism_) November 24, 2020
    She also shared how, “Writing this record and diving into such a deep authentic vulnerable space with you has been one of the most beautiful & powerful experiences of my life.” This comes against the backdrop of Priya Darshini’s attempts to form her idea of home and identity away from her motherland.
    Speaking about her very own dream come true moment, Priya Darshini tweeted,
    I’ve dreamt of this day since I was little, but I never really thought dreams like this could come true for someone like me, tamizh ponnu from Goregaon, Mumbai! Thank you for all your messages of love, and support. I feel so held!
    — Priya Darshini (@priyism_) November 24, 2020 We are glad her talent and hard work have found the recognition they deserve. And of course, congratulations have been pouring in since!
    Well ain't this something to celebrate: Congrats to Dr. Joan Morgan (@milfinainteasy) on your Grammy nomination for Best New Age Album as a songwriter on Priya Darshini's PERIPHERY. For decades, you've been an inspiration as a music writer, scholar & now, Grammy-nominee! pic.twitter.com/2h9rUIj9SA

    Farhan Akhtar is currently working on his film Toofan. However, he also has a line of films ahead of him which include Phone Bhoot and Sharmaji Namkeen. Both of these are also scheduled for next year which means 2021 is going to be a huge year for Farhan Akhtar.

    This is perhaps the reason why we get to see him outside so often. Recently he had stepped out in an interesting pair of shorts. Take a look at his odd outfit here:

    Farhan Akhtar was seen wearing a dark blue sleeveless hoodie over a light blue solid t-shirt underneath it. He was also wearing an odd pair of drop-crotch, drawstring cargo pants that had a weird fit. We believe that even though the drawstrings were there to tweak the fitting of the outfit according to different body types, Farhan intentionally went for a relatively loose fit which contributed to the weird overall fitting of the shorts. Take a close at the shorts here: 
    © Viral Bhayani
    For the uninitiated, drop crotch shorts or pants refer to pants that are designed to sag down loosely toward the knees from the middle as can be seen in Farhan's case. 
    © Viral Bhayani
    Farhan had finished the look with a pair of Nike velcro sneakers and a half-up man bun. Taking into account a couple of his last public appearances, it looks like the half-up man bun is Farhan's new signature hairstyle. 

    We have mixed feelings about the outfit but considering its 2020 and the theme of the year is 'all-casual', we approve. What do you guys think?

    When you are an actor who is trying to own up the look of a character, one of the most challenging things to keep in mind is the aesthetic appeal. Many films demand characters to don a certain ‘look’ which is very different from the natural look of the actor playing the part. So to keep the secrecy intact and ensure that the audience is surprised when they watch the movie in theatres, actors keep their movie look under cover and take extra precaution while stepping out in public. Here are 5 such actors who tried their best to ensure that their movie look was literally kept under a garb and kept the fans guessing:

    1. Amitabh bachchanWhen he took on the challenge to play Auro in Paa, there was major hype around the prosthetics and the make up that was used to create this look for him. It was very difficult for the actor to ensure that the look was kept a secret and he tried his best to keep away from any cameras on the set that could leak the look.

    2. Ranveer SinghRight before his super hit Bajirao Mastani was released, the superstar was always spotted with a handlebar moustache and a hat. This was his public appearance look for almost a year as he was supposed to keep the whole look under cover. Surely, this worked for him as we were indeed surprised to see the final look on the big screen.

    3. Shahid KapoorKnown to own up every role he takes up, this amazing actor went the extra mile in keeping his hair look as a big secret for Haider as well Udta Punjab. Shahid’s hair experiments were worth the wait as both the looks were a big hit amongst his fans.

    4. Ranbir KapoorWhen he was shooting for Rockstar, his ‘Jordan’ look was kept under the wraps for the general public. Cameras were strictly prohibited on sets and while the look was never leaked when he was shooting in India, during the Prague schedule, his look was leaked and fans went into a frenzy.

    5. Abhishek BachchanHis much-awaited look from his upcoming movie Bob Biswas got leaked today and the actor looks absolutely unrecognisable. Earlier, he had managed to keep this look under the wraps but post looking at it today on social media, it is safe to say that AB baby fans are excited for this one to drop soon.

    Everybody has a constitutional right to protest, right? Well, then it's really ironic how the farmers who are protesting are getting treated in the most inhuman way that, too on Constitution 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.
    © Twitter
    In retaliation to the protest, Haryana police have barricaded the borders and blasted the farmers with water cannons, when it's one of the coldest winters, and used tear gas on them as well.
    © Twitter
    The pictures and videos from the borders where the protest is being prevented from moving any further look way too dystopian and people are angry and heartbroken at the treatment of farmers.

    Happy Constitution Day 2020.

    — Sayantan Ghosh (@sayantansunnyg) November 26, 2020So much manpower to disperse a peaceful protest where people whose livelihood is at stake just want to be heard and ask for answers, this is what the country has come to now.

    Not only any Government but millions of lives are dependent on #Farmers.

    — Youth Congress (@IYC) November 26, 2020 Of course, the pandemic is a cause for concern, but why the selective retaliation?
    So massive election rallies are okay. But farmers and mazdoors aren't allowed to protest against bills that determine their future. When they gather, they're met with inhuman cold water cannons in winters & times of corona. Such a shame!#FarmersProtest pic.twitter.com/0A53zQXhR8

    Today is the 12th anniversary since the dreadful day in 2008 when as many as 170 innocent people were mercilessly killed by Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists in Mumbai. Even today, it isn’t just fear that surfaces at the mention of 26/11.

    A tornado of emotions acts up and boils over within the heart of every Indian as soon as the 2008, 26/11 Mumbai terror attack is mentioned. There’s pain, there’s loss and there’s trauma that hundreds continue to live with even after 12 years since the day of tragedy.

    Seems like it isn’t just Indians who wish to ‘Never Forget’ the 26/11 and demand for a closure. Israelis too have come forward to organise ceremonies and pay respects to the victims of the 26/11 attacks. They are also demanding that the perpetrators be tried and brought to justice.
    Today we remember the victims of the terrible #MumbaiTerrorAttack of 26/11, which targeted citizens of #India, #Israel and the world. This painful chapter in our shared history only strengthens our bond and commitment to stop global terrorism together. #NeverForget pic.twitter.com/wMefPbQrAx

    Condemning “Pakistan-sponsored terrorism” and remembering the innocent lives that were lost on the fateful day, Israelis and Indian students paid their respects to the victims in Jerusalem, Rehovot and Tel Aviv yesterday, while more ceremonies have been scheduled for today in Beersheva and Eilat. That’s not all, Israelis in Eilat are hoping to build a memorial square in the memory of the victims of the Mumbai attacks.

    Speaking to PTI, Isaac Solomon said, “Israel opposes every country that provides financial and logistical support to terrorists. Peaceful countries should come together to boycott diplomatically and financially those countries that support terrorism.” He also added, “It is a matter of pride for us Israelis to have a peaceful country like India as our friend. We pray that our friendship continues to grow strong.”  

    Indians have also appreciated Israel’s gesture.
