Strong, muscular, tall, macho, suave - we wouldn't blame you if you thought we were describing a man. The image associated with men has always inclined towards the physical aspect of the balance rather than the mental or even emotional one. Words like sensitive, compassionate, empathetic, woke have been used rather modestly when it comes to men. A man has been perceived rather unidimensionally for ages now.
To reignite the conversation on International Men's Day and actually understand the nuances of mental health from the horse's mouth, we got in touch with men from various walks of life. It's been commendable to see each of these stars letting us inside their darkest moments and how they overcame them, breaking stereotypes, and proving that it's okay for a man to feel weak and vulnerable.
Here's Amit Sadh opening up in a tell-all exclusive interview:
The time that we find ourselves in, at present, warrants a much-needed discussion on mental illness, especially among men. Over the years, the dynamic around this subject has changed drastically as more and more people are coming forward to have a dialogue on this topic.
And talking about men who are breaking stereotypes in that regard, Amit Sadh is one such actor who has never shied away from talking about his struggles, especially ones related to his mental health, openly in public.
© Instagram/theamitsadh
I didn’t overcome it all in one day - took me 20 years! I just found one thing for sure - this is not the end. Life is a gift. So, the day I understood this, I started living it. I feel blessed and fortunate that I’m on the other side of the white light. Now I have a lot of compassion, love and empathy for people who become weak.
See, we all go through hard times. Everyone fails. We all get disappointed sometimes in ourselves, sometimes in the result of what we do, sometimes with people or relationships. Disappointments will continue, that’s what I've understood in life. But you can’t let it affect you so much that it affects your living, your mental balance or your happiness. Nothing in life is worth taking your happiness.
Your motto in life shouldn’t be big cars, to be rich or to own a beach apartment or go holidaying in Barcelona. Your motto in life should be to be happy, to be at peace. I’m saying this from my experience. The day I made this promise to myself, my life started changing.
2. Is it easy for men to openly discuss their mental health issues in today’s world? Do you think there is a fear of being judged?
I think men are expected to be strong and there is this stupid notion of being an alpha, In fact, we don’t even know what a real alpha means. People perhaps think we are not supposed to have feelings - there’s that stigma attached by society. I think that has to break.
© Instagram/theamitsadh
When it comes to friends who we feel need some love or attention, we should give them that. I have learnt one thing in life- that by becoming a society which is kinder, more gentle and accepting, it will instil encouragement and fearlessness in people who are genuinely going through problems, to come forward and talk about their mess and their stress.
Till the time we are going to be a judgemental society, mean and harsh and ruthless to people - jitni bhi baat karna hai kar lo, kuch hone wala nahi hai.
5. What advice or suggestion would you give to people who are trying to cope with mental ailments especially at a time like this, during a pandemic?
What I can say to people who are struggling in life mentally, emotionally, financially, and in companionship is that- everyone is going through it. The percentage may be different, the order may be different but each one of us in this world is struggling.
Most people have learnt to find life, happiness, peace and smile in between these and I hope you can learn too. And I hope and pray to God that whatever your pain is it doesn't last long and for that you should never give up. Don’t give up.
6. There’s a general perception that men should be emotionally strong, they shouldn’t cry. Do you believe in that? What’s your definition of manhood?
It’s all BULLSHIT! I believe in humanhood. Back in the day when civilization was evolving, men and women had certain skill sets which have diminished now. Biologically, a man and a woman have certain skill sets from nature. Men were going to hunt, women were taking care of the children. Hence, women’s peripheral vision improved. Meanwhile, men didn’t communicate as they went hunting. That’s why they became tunnel-visioned.
But we have evolved. We are changing.
We just need to understand that the need of the hour right now is respect and equality. These are basics. First, let’s talk about these then we can talk about other big subjects.
7. If given an opportunity, what would be the one thing that you would like to change in society - in terms of how mental health is usually perceived?
I don’t want to change anything in anyone. I want to keep changing for the good in me and if that inspires people, great. I only know one thing in life - there’s a lot of goodness in the world and the country. It just needs a channel or a pathway to come up.
I believe people want to change, I believe in this beautiful country where people have love and acceptance for each other - my belief is strong.

SRK was on a break from work and previously, in interaction with Filmfare, Shah Rukh had said, “I have no film with me right now. I am not working on any film. Usually what happens is when one of your films is coming to an end, you begin work on your next film and I get involved within 3-4 months. But this time I am just not feeling like...My heart doesn’t allow me to. I just felt that I should rather take time out, watch films, listen to stories, and read more books. Even my kids are in their college stage...my daughter is going to college and my son is about to finish his studies. So I just want to spend more time with my family.”
Are you excited to see Shah Rukh back in action? Let us know in the comments below.

The Xbox Series X has finally arrived in India and we've been testing the console ever since I got it on launch day in India. The next generation of gaming consoles is promising to deliver an experience we've never seen before. While the gaming landscape is bound to change in the coming years, I have to review the console based on what games we can play today. The Xbox Series X is probably the most exciting console by Microsoft in almost seven years and in my opinion, it's probably the most powerful, and affordable way to play games this generation.
Now when I say the most affordable way to play games this generation, I'm not talking about the console's retail price but how much money you will end up saving in the long run if you game on the Series X. I'll talk more about the affordability factor later on the in the review but let's get started with what this console is all about:
Design © MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
The Xbox Series X is probably the most recognisable design of a console right now simply because it looks like a smaller PC. While previous Xbox consoles have been fairly larger than the competition, but this time around Microsoft has opted to go with a simple look. The design is clean, minimalistic and fits in every entertainment unit in homes right now.
© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
It measures around 15.1 x 15.1 x 30.1 centimeters (5.9 x 5.9 x 11.9 inches) and weighs around 4.5Kg. The console does feel a bit heavy when you lift it for the first time but is still easier to handle than the previous Xbox One. The console can be placed vertically or horizontally depending on how much space you have, however we recommend keeping it vertical for better cooling. You can use it sideways and the console also comes with soft pads on its body to indicate the right way to position the console.
© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
The bottom of the console does have a fixed base to balance the console on a flat surface. This base cannot be removed which means using the console sideways makes it look quite awkward. When placed vertically, it simply looked better with my overall setup and I could also see green accents in the top vent holes of the console. I mentioned earlier placing it vertically is better for cooling because the console sucks in cool air from the bottom and vents it out of the top. Having enough headroom above the top vent is recommended to prevent overheating and achieve optimum performance in games.
Having said that, I would have liked to see some form of lighting or LED rings as the Xbox 360 did two generations ago. The only visible light comes from the power button which also happens to be the Xbox logo. It illuminates a white light and makes a chime every time you power on the console. It would have been cool to see some green LED somewhere either at the back or the front of the console. Sure, the minimal look does work for the console, however, I would have liked to see some flair as well.
I/O Ports © MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
The Series X comes with an array of ports at the back that gives more options than previous generation consoles. For starters, there's an HDMI 2.1 port which is essential for 4K/60 FPS or above gaming. If you happen to use a monitor or a TV that has a higher refresh rate than 60Hz, you will need to use an HDMI 2.1 to take full advantage. The console does come with the said HDMI cable that has been branded as “Ultra High Speed.”
© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
You will also find two USB3.1 ports at the back of the console which you can use to connect external USB 3.1 hard drives. Other ports include an ethernet port, a Kensington lock and a larger port for proprietary external PCIe 4.0 SSDs. One noticeable change you will find is that the console does not come with an optical audio port which can be frustrating for users who plan to use home theatres or powerful audio systems.
Features: Interface, Console Streaming, and Quick Resume
The user interface on the Xbox Series X is somewhat the same as the Xbox One making it quite unimaginative. While Xbox users will feel right at home however in our opinion the UI needs a bit of improvement. For starters, finding certain settings can be a pain as it is often buried under columns of tiles. Xbox users might already be used to this interface, however we do want it more refined for ease of use.
© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
While the UI can be a bit confusing, it is quite comprehensive. You can easily manage games, calibrate HDR displays and adjust settings to your liking. There is a range of options to adjust such as frame rate settings, resolution preference and audio tuning you can do to your liking. The Xbox Series X supports resolutions up to 4K and frame rates up to 120Hz which is great for people who own TVs and monitors alike. We mostly played games in 1440p resolution and up to 120 FPS as it was the best way to experience some of the games at the moment.
The most incredible feature has to be 'Quick Resume' where the Series X lets users play multiple games at the same time. You can load up multiple games and jump between each game without having to restart the entire game again. You can jump exactly where you left off and is almost like you left your games in a saved state. This is most useful when you are playing multiplayer games and single-player games at the same time. It's most handy for people who want to pick up their single-player game right where they left it after a quick session of Call of Duty.
© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
Console streaming also works just as advertised where you can stream your console's game on your smartphone via the Xbox app on Android and iOS. We bought the Razer Kishi to test this feature and were surprised to see that it works almost flawlessly without any latency issues. This enables a player to play games wherever they want without being confined to a chair or a couch when gaming. You do need to have your smartphone and the console on the same network for it to work.
Other nifty features include capturing footage and images at native 4K quality which get directly uploaded to your Xbox app via the cloud. The Series X also syncs all save files via the cloud from your previous console or for 'Play Anywhere' games such as Yakuza 7 via PC.
Performance The Xbox Series X is probably the most powerful console ever made as it has 12 teraflops of graphic power which directly result in better performance in games. We tested the console to run games like Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon amongst others. These games have been optimised for the Series X/S and even come with a watermark on the top right corner of the game artwork in your library.
We tested games in both 4k and 1440p resolutions for the sake of this review and here were our findings. Gears 5 runs at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second without any hiccups or throttling. Having said that, the game does prioritize frames over resolution and would often automatically adjust the resolution when it needs to. Overall, Gears 5 ran steady which we expected being a first-party game.
Similarly, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla ran better than what we experienced on the PlayStation 4 Pro. We reviewed the game on the PS4 Pro but our experience on the Xbox Series X was vastly different. The game was a perfect test for the console since it is very demanding in terms of graphics. The game looked beautiful with 4K textures and ran at an ultra-smooth 60 frames per second. The game felt less clunky and better to play than it did on the PlayStation 4 Pro. Similarly, thanks to the internal SSD, the game would load in about 4-6 second whereas it would take 1-2 minutes on the PlayStation 4 Pro. Speaking of the SSD, games like Forza Horizon 4 loaded in about 20 seconds which takes way longer on my PC and the Xbox One X.
For ray tracing and overall performance, we tested Yakuza 7 on both the Series X and our 2080ti powered PC. In our tests, the game would load in about 2 seconds on the Series X and in comparison it would take about 8-9 seconds to load on our PC's internal PCIe 4.0 SSD. The loading screens between cutscenes and levels would also take about a second which was quite impressive considering the loading times on previous generation consoles. Yakuza 7 also makes use of ray-tracing on the Series X which makes the game look absolutely beautiful especially at night. You will notice reflections, motion blur, light rays, and lens blur with almost perfection while running at 4K and 60 frames per second. You can check out this video below to see how the game performs on the Series X:
Damn #Yakuza7 looks brilliant on the #XboxSeriesX pic.twitter.com/7EmV41EZgU
— Akshay Bhalla (@Bhallanator) November 12, 2020
Thanks to the Xbox Series X's AMD Zen 2-based Ryzen processor and RDNA 2-based GPU, some games give you options to tweak your experience in games like you would on PCs. Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon lets players choose graphic fidelity options while games like 'Ori and the Will of the Wisps' let you adjust motion blur levels. The Xbox Series X does feel like a PC when it comes to making adjustments to your liking and that has also been directly translated into games that have been optimised.

Finally, the Xbox Series X does get a bit warm from the top when playing graphic-intensive games but the console remains silent. There was no sound coming out of the console however this could change towards the end of the generation when games start pushing the console's hardware limit seven years from now. For people interested in power usage, the Xbox Series X draws about 128-130W when playing games and about 50W when sitting idle.
The Affordability Factor 90% of gaming has to do with third-party games and being the most powerful console ever made, the Xbox Series X is probably the most affordable way to play games. We've already mentioned before how the Xbox Game Pass is beneficial for Indian gamers but the Xbox Series X does take it to the next level. With backwards compatibility, you can play 99% of your existing library with better performance, faster loading times, and higher frames. With the Game Pass, you can play 100s of games for a price of Rs 489/month that also gives you access to EA Play games. It is the most affordable way to catch up with your backlog and try new games without shelling our Rs 5,000 - 6,000 for each game. What's great is that Microsoft releases first-party titles as a part of the Game Pass Subscription on Day 1 as well.
Having said that, there is a lack of first-party launch titles with the Xbox Series X as there are no new next-gen games from Microsoft Studios at the moment. Sure, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla does fit that bill, however there are currently no new games to play. The lack of first-party games alone makes the Series X feel like a transitionary console rather than next-gen at the moment. First-party games are on their way and until then you can simply use the console to catch up on your backlog or progress in games that you were already playing via backwards compatibility. Thankfully, the Xbox Series X seamlessly brings over your save files from PC or the Xbox One which makes it easier to keep playing your older games. Nevertheless, considering every criticism we've put forth, the Series X is arguably the best console to play games this generation without having the need to build a PC.
Controllers © MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
The new controller that comes with the Series X is not that much different from previous Xbox controllers apart from slight changes. For starters, the controller now has a textured surface on the underside and the triggers to improve your grip. There's also now a dedicated share button to capture images and footage instantly on the console. The joysticks also feel firmer than before making it more durable. The controller does still use the archaic style of using alkaline AA batteries which was a bit disappointing to see. You can buy a rechargeable battery pack separately that can charge via the USB-C port. The new controller has taken a few cues from the Elite controller when it comes to the rumble feature. Vibrations feel more defined and can be felt in both the underside and the triggers albeit not as pronounced as the Elite controllers.
© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
You can also use older Xbox One controllers with the console as it supports hardware backwards compatibility as well. We used the regular Xbox controller, the Elite 1 and Elite controllers to test this feature out. To our surprise, the older controllers work flawlessly with the Series X and in the case of the Elite controllers, you do feel the extra vibration optimisations with games such as Forza, Gears 5 and Master Chief Collection as well.
The Final Verdict If you are a gamer who wants to play the best possible version of games on a console, the Xbox Series X is the console for you. While first-party games are still on their way, the Series X is the most affordable way to enjoy games this generation, thanks to its subscription service. For Rs 50,000, the Xbox Series X delivers PC-like performance for a fraction of the price and gives incredible value considering the hardware inside.

It's no secret that most Indian parents simply love to taunt their kids if they are found oversleeping. Every desi parent just loves to call out their kid if they sleep too much.
Too much sleep means being less productive, and nope, that is just not acceptable in a regular Indian household.
Meet 35-year-old Bhambal Sil from Manikganj, Bangladesh, who possesses the incredible talent of sleeping continuously for days. And there is absolutely nothing his parents can do about it!
© Jamuna TV
Apparently, he can even sleep for seven days at a stretch without eating any food. Now, we don't know if that is awesome or just downright disturbing.
Check out the video here-
According to a video by Jamuna TV, Bhambal never showed such behaviour as a kid but after reaching the age of 15, his sleeping pattern changed and has continued to be like this for the past twenty years.
Not only this, Bhambal’s eating and bathing patterns are also very unusual as he can eat food meant for 4-5 people and takes a bath for hours on.
His family is struggling a lot to manage to get so much food for him on a regular basis as it's proving to be a herculean task.

According to doctors, Bhambal is suffering from a complex illness which, luckily, can be cured with the help of the right medical assistance.

The coming year is definitely going to be huge for Ranbir Kapoor. '
From the release of the much-awaited first part of the Brahmastra trilogy by Ayan Mukherjee to Shamshera and Luv Ranjan's next, there is a big film line-up for the star next year.
With so much on his plate, it is evident why Ranbir Kapoor steps out ever so often these days.

Things right now are not how they used to be in a pre-pandemic world. Now, one has to take the necessary COVID-19 precautions before stepping out.
It is unthinkable to step out without a mask or a sanitiser or wear something OTT, considering it might get difficult to manage the outfit outside with the mask on.

It looks like Ranbir Kapoor has adapted well to the current challenge and is living up to it while also managing to put together stellar outfits.
From DIY skull masks to efficient yet bizarre-looking O2 respirators, he's worn them all.
Recently, he stepped out in a balaclava face mask.

Balaclava face masks refer to masks that have a close-fitting covering and are typically made of wool. They also have velcro straps at the back instead of elastic or tie-up strings.

Coming back to his outfit, he wore a red and black classic flannel t-shirt with a pair of ripped jeans and a pair of High-top Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Mid Chicago Toe that is priced at 160 Dollars which comes down to Rs 12,000 approximately.
Oddly, the balaclava mask complemented the outfit.
Usually worn in the winter while playing sports, the balaclava face mask will definitely make a big comeback this season courtesy of the coronavirus pandemic.

Today, we saw two trends #BringBackTrueIndology and #ShameOnYouIPSRoopa on Twitter, and upon digging further, we discovered how the two were interconnected.
Roopa Divakar Moudgil, popularly known as D. Roopa, is an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer from Devanagere, Karnataka. She started to trend after her argument with a Twitter user True Indology over whether firecrackers are Indian or not went viral. In case you're unaware of True Indology, since July 2019, this particular handle has been giving snippets on Indian culture and history from the perspective of the owner of the handle.
View this post on Instagram
A lot of people were following the handle but it was suspended right after the big argument between the senior IPS officer and the owner of the Twitter page.
How did it all start?On November 14, the senior IPS officer posted a status on Facebook asking why people are objecting to a ban on firecrackers. “Ban on crackers in Bengaluru is for this year alone, given COVID situation. Why can't for one year we abstain ourselves from the use of crackers? Are we so hollow that our joy is dependent solely on crackers? There are many ways to celebrate Deepawali. Light diyas, meet people, exchange mithai...but no, adamant people only want crackers. How unreasonable!” she wrote in her post.
True Indology and Roopa got into an argument over whether there was any mention of firecrackers in the ancient manuscripts of our culture. After she disagreed with True Indology’s perspective, she told him that ‘Your Time Is Up’ and five minutes later, his account was suspended.
He wrote an elaborate note on Instagram on what exactly happened and when things went awry. In his long post, he wrote, “This post is about magic that happened on Twitter. One IPS officer from Bengaluru (Twitter India Head Quarters) issued directives to ban Diwali crackers. She said that crackers were not mentioned in ancient texts. I disagreed with her and showed her references from Ananda Ramayana and Skanda Purana. She challenged me to divulge my personal details. I refused to divulge those details. She then said, "Your time is up". And boom. My account was suspended within 5 minutes. What a sweet coincidence! Twitter sent no mail. Gave no reason. Simply suspended my account. Friends, this is a coincidence. Just a sweet coincidence. Nothing more to it. There is absolutely no correlation and I am REALLY not hinting at anything. I did not divulge personal details. Hence, I was only digitally eliminated. What would have happened if I had? I shudder to think.”

Right after his account was suspended, people started questioning the freedom of speech we have as it was attacked because someone's ego got hurt. Celebs like Kangana Ranaut and Ranvir Shorey also bashed Roopa for using her power to digitally murder a genuinely informative page.
Here’s what they tweeted:
See @TIinExile this is what you earned, they who ruthlessly eliminated you must be powerful but they can’t take away your real worth, we miss you and remember eventually love wins, don’t feel low/ disheartened or hopeless... we are together in this #BringBackTrueIndology pic.twitter.com/7Q6KfdCo3q
— Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) November 18, 2020Living off on tax money, these cops are answerable for arm twisting commoners, it’s a valid question rather than taking people’s complaints and assisting them, why is @D_Roopa_IPS indulging in time pass trolling that too in working hours threatening and intimidating youngsters. https://t.co/b9O7clFzTe
— Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) November 18, 2020Hey @TwitterIndia, this is the second time you have unreasonably suspended one of the most informative and decent Twitter handles on your platform. Utter #shame. #BringBackTrueIndology
— Ranvir Shorey (@RanvirShorey) November 18, 2020Some people also voiced their opinion on how they felt that it was wrong to get someone’s Twitter account suspended over personal disagreement and ego. People ended up bashing the IPS officer Roopa left, right, and center.
Here’s how people reacted on Twitter:
D Roopa IPS miss use of our Power for suspended the True Nationalist twitter handle @TIinExile ....?
We all Nationalist always stand with True Indology.

In a country where humans are suffering every day, especially because of the ongoing pandemic, the government is still focused on protecting cows.
Nothing wrong in that, just that...priorities.
The Madhya Pradesh government seems to be finding itself amid everything controversial these days. First, it was the entire love jihad episode where they went after inter-religion marriages in the state and now, it is cows.
MP's Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced today that the state government is forming a 'Cow Cabinet' for the conservation and promotion of cow cattle.

There's been a lot of discussion surrounding PUBG Mobile over the past few days and we expect more with the new version of the game coming out.
In fact, we also learned that the global version of the game is still working in India despite the ban.
Anyway, we have a new version of the game coming out very soon called PUBG Mobile India and it'll have some India-specific in-game changes.
Ever since this version of the game was announced, a lot of players have been wondering if their player-stats and in-game purchases from the global version of the game carries over to the new one.

Well, there are some reports out there which claim that all player-stat and in-game purchases will indeed carry over the new version.
This means Indian players who'll soon start playing PUBG Mobile again won't have to worry about grinding all over again from the start.
Players will also get their IDs back from the global version as soon as you log into the Indian version.
There's also a video showing the migration of player ID to the new version of the game although we're not entirely sure if it's legit. You can check it out below -

This is indeed great news and we hope it's not just a rumour. It only makes to have your player ID and account stats back when you log in to the new version.
We still haven't heard from the devs directly, so we suggest you stick around for an official confirmation.
