    Suresh Raina has been a silent but deadly cricketer that the Indian cricket team has had playing for them.Β Β 
    Having scored 5615 ODI runs, 1605 T20 runs and 5368 IPL runs, he is a champion of limited overs cricket and any team - be it national, domestic or a league franchise - has been lucky to have him onboard.Β

    However there was one man who has been even more silent than Raina but has managed to reach the epitome of success with the team in the white and red ball cricket.Β Β 
    We are obviously talking about Rahul Dravid, the β€˜Wall’ who was every bowler’s nightmare in Test cricket and every coach’s dream project to work on.
    Regardless of his batting prowess, Dravid’s name never emerges in the conversation around some of India’s best captains. After taking over as the skipper after Sourav Ganguly, Dravid led the squad in 25 Tests and 79 ODIs and during his tenure some of the biggest series wins came against West Indies, Bangladesh and England.
    But for Raina, one of the biggest perks of playing for Team India was to serve under the leadership of Dravid.Β

    Recalling how nervous he used to be back when he was a young cricketer who’d just received a call to play at the international level, the southpaw told us how it was Dravid who helped him settle in and get comfortable inside the dressing room.Β 
    He said:Β 
    β€œWhen you play at the highest level, you have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders. Back then I remember Rahul bhai used to play, his man-management was superb. He had brilliant players like Sachin bhai and Anil bhai. Viru bhai and Gauti bhai used to play on the top and in the middle there was Dhoni and me.” View this post on Instagram
    He continued:
    β€œI remember, as youngsters, we used to feel nervous talking in the dressing room but Rahul bhai helped us feel relaxed. He used to talk to us about our families and was genuinely concerned about their wellbeing.”It has been over eight years since Dravid hung his boots. He then went on to become the head coach of the U-19 Indian cricket team and that was India A and currently works as the boss man of the National Cricket Academy with the hopes of revitalising the infrastructure and use the facilities to produce world class cricketers.Β 
    And even then, stories of his days as an active player and a leader continue to surface and only goes on to show that Dravid was simply a class apart.Β

    Siddhant Chaturvedi's Instagram feed is on point. Scrolling down his feed will have you convinced that he's pre-planned every single detail right from the posts to the highlights.Β 
    In fact, aside from the off-beat aesthetic, it's hard to not notice that he's also a connoisseur of spiffy outfits as well. From angled close-ups of his face to the outfits that are definitely inspiration-worthy, he is nailing it.

    After Gully Boy, Siddhant ChaturvediΒ is all set to star in films like Phone Bhoot, Bunty Aur Babli 2 and an unnamed project with Shakun Batra.Β 

    Considering these are all mainstream projects, Siddhant has already upped his game. This also extends to his style game, case in point for a recent Diwali party he pulled all the stops when it came to his quirky ethnic outfit.Β 
    Take a look at what he wore:
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    Spotted with fellow actor Ananya Pandey, Siddhant Chaturvedi was seen wearing multi-coloured sherwani by Anamika Khanna with a pair of black patiala pants that were fluffed up that they almost looked like 'parachute' pants.Β 

    To complete the look, he also wore a pair of leather jodhpuris. Take a close look t his close jodhpuris here:Β

    He also repeated the sherwani for his Instagram with a pair of cigarette pants that completely changed the look of the sherwani.

    Styled by Chandani Zatakia, this was the look put together to be repurposed later as well.Β Β 
    Among the two looks with two completely different options for pants being cigarette pants and patialas, which one would you prefer with your traditional outfit?

    In another bizarre incident, a police officer landed in trouble after using a legendary Bollywood dialogue while talking to the general people. He intended to explain certain things to civilians in a fun way but the authorities didn’t take it well.Β 

    In a dramatic incident, a police officer was seen saying a popular dialogue from the Bollywood movie Sholay on the megaphone mounted to his police jeep in Madhya Pradesh’s Jhabua. The cop’s brainchild behind doing this was to maintain law and order in the area.Β 
    Check out the video here-
    #WATCH | MP: KL Dangi, in-charge of Kalyanpura police station in Jhabua, says, "Kalyanpura se 50-50 km ki duri par jab bachcha rotaa hai to maa kehti hai chup ho ja beta nahi to Dangi aa jayega".

    "A show-cause notice has been issued to him," says Jhabua ASP Anand Singh. (15.11) pic.twitter.com/FCEN0EKm8D
    β€” ANI (@ANI) November 15, 2020
    The police officer who was seen in the video is now doing the rounds on the internet and is in-charge of the Kalyanpura police station in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh. He was seen saying the altered version of one of Gabbar’s dialogue from the film Sholay.Β 
    KL Dangi was seen saying, "Kalyanpura se 50-50 km ki duri par jab bachcha rotaa hai to maa kehti hai chup ho ja beta nahi to Dangi aa jayega. (When a child cries even as far as 50 km away from Kalyanpura, their mothers tell them to go to sleep or Dangi will come).”

    According to the officials a show-cause notice has been issued to the police officer. Jhabua Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Anand Singh said, "A video of Dangi has gone viral on the internet. A show-cause notice has been issued to him. Further action will be taken in the matter after a preliminary enquiry.”

    Here’s what people on the internet have to say about the viral video-

    According to a few reports, it looks like some Xiaomi and Poco phone users are facing bootup issues on their devices. The devices are showing a weird message that reads "Find device closed unexpectedly" and eventually reboots. And on top of that, this seems to be happening repeatedly, which is quite annoying, to say the least.
    Although the exact reason for this is unknown, some users have suggested that the glitch was caused after Airtel Thanks App got a new update. Looks like the new version of the app has some issue with MIUI's Find My Device settings.Β

    From what we know so far, it looks like the Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max and Poco M2 Pro users are facing the issue. Xiaomi has also acknowledged the issue and said they're working with Airtel to fix the problem. However, the company did not disclose the exact reason for the current issue.

    "While we are working on fixing the issue with the App developer and rollout out a permanent update by early next week, we have put temporary containment measures in place, over the last 36 hours. This fix may need consumers to get their devices at a service center", Xiaomi said in an official statement.
    Airtel also responded with the company’s Global CIO Harmeen Mehta sharing a post on Twitter. Check it out -
    Some @airtelindia customers are experiencing phone crashes on MI phones. We have worked with Xaomi to find the cause & they are preparing a fix. Meanwhile we have put a small tweak in the airtel #Thanksapp to help. Please open the app once to effect new settings. #HappyDiwali2020
    β€” Harmeen Mehta (@HarmeenM) November 14, 2020
    As of now, we don't have any word on the update's rollout. We'll keep an eye on this issue and update here when we have more info.

    Harshaali Malhotra aka Munni from Bajrangi Bhaijaan made a household after her strong performance in the 2015 movie. Soon after her role in the Salman Khan movie, she was in the limelight and has been making sure that she updates her fans about her whereabouts with her pictures on Instagram.Β 
    View this post on InstagramRecently, Harshaali posted a series of photos from Diwali 2020 and Bhaidooj celebrations which left people spellbound.Β 
    View this post on InstagramAnd it was a recap of Hansika Motwani's case all over again as soon, people started sharing memes. One particular meme that says β€˜Munni Itni Jaldi Badi Ho Gayi’ seems to have become the most popular one.Β

    It was Harshaali's response to all the questions about growing up so fast, that won our hearts. She chose a very subtle way of answering all of these comments. In one of the replies, she said she too wants to see the memes that people are talking about. In another reply, she said that it’s not like you cannot recognize her as she has the same face.Β 
    Just like Hansika, Harshaali was attacked for her transformation. Time and again, female actors have been targeted for their transformations. From their body weight to their height to their looks, a certain section of people have always questioned and told them how a public figure should look.
    But kudos to Harshaali for shutting down these trolls in the most sensible way. We really hope that people stop discriminating against women, and it's appalling to see trolls going after an actor who is still so young.

    We hope to see her soon in movies again as we all know how brilliant a performer she is.

    The friends you make in school last for a lifetime, more often than not. Even after losing touch, the friendship is still there, and you know the right kind of people will be there for you whenever you need them.
    And, now, we have the perfect and most wholesome example of the power of friendship.
    When K Nagendran, a man from Tamil Nadu, reconnected with his school friend Muthukumar after three decades, he was heartbroken at seeing his friend's living condition.

    Muthukumar, a 44-year-old truck driver, was one of the millions who was affected badly due to the pandemic. He went from making Rs 10,000-15,000 before lockdown to barely scraping by Rs 1,000-2,000 this year.Β 

    He was living in a dilapidated hut that was on the verge of collapsing with multiple people in the house to feed.
    He said, "I am staying in the same house since I was born. I have been driving trucks to make ends meet, but lockdown reduced my income measly for the past six months. Trees around my house fell during Gaja cyclone two years ago and since then my house has been in a bad shape."

    But when Muthukumar and K Nagendran met each other after a long time at their school teacher's house, the former invited the latter to his house.Β 

    Nagendran was so hurt with seeing his friend's living conditions, he immediately started organizing funds through their TECL Higher Secondary School Pudukkottai friends WhatsApp group.
    According to New Indian Express,he said, "I met my friend almost 30 years after we finished school. I was distressed to see the condition of his house. Gaja cyclone had destroyed the trees around his house and the roof of his house. One needed to bend to even enter his house. I knew that I had to help him. I formed a Whatsapp group and sent photos and videos of his house. Many came forward to help him."
    Β© New Indian Express
    In just three months, he managed to build an entire house for his friend using the Rs. 1.5 lakh he managed to collect and the best part? The timing was so perfect that the house became a Diwali gift for Muthukumar!

    Lastly, Nagendran said, "Even though we weren’t in touch, school friends are special. We must all help our friends in need. Many have suffered during the lockdown. If you chance upon a friend who is in distress, please do something to help them out."

    Never leave a friend behind, what a special friendship these guys have.Β 

    Even after no contact, they were actively helping someone in need and changed someone's life for the better.
    Every single person deserves a friend like that, and if you already have someone like that in your life, it's time to show a little more appreciation for them.

    We finally got to test the HomePod Mini, Apple’s new smart speaker that is way smaller than its bigger brother and is a direct competitor to Google’s Nest Audio and Amazon Echo. The HomePod Mini is Apple’s answer to the small smart speaker market which is everything an iPhone user needs in 2020. It’s more affordable and can do everything the larger HomePod can do. If you are an iPhone user who is heavily invested in Apple’s ecosystem, you will absolutely adore this smart speaker. It works with the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iPod and every other recent Apple product launched in the past few years. Here’s what we think about Apple’s HomePod Mini:
    DesignΒ We’ve already mentioned the HomePod Mini is small but what sets it apart from everything else out there is its half-spherical design. The entire speaker is wrapped in a fabric mesh similar to the larger HomePod and has a touch control pad with LED indicators at the top. Apple has retained the original design of the HomePod albeit with slight changes to the overall design. The fabric mesh is supposed to make the sound better on the HomePod Mini which has proven to be effective in the larger model.Β 
    Β© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
    The HomePod Mini does need to be plugged in at all times and is not a portable device you can carry around the house. The smart speaker also does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack if you want to play music from other devices and heavily relies on Apple Music and other streaming services. The small size also means it can be easily installed in a bookshelf, desk or the kitchen counter if you are looking for something more discrete. Apart from the subtle changes, the HomePod Mini follows a similar design ethos as the larger HomePod and fits the Apple aesthetic perfectly.Β 

    FeaturesΒ While the HomePod Mini might feel like a cheaper, smaller device, it doesn’t mean the smart speaker does not have all the features. The HomePod Mini does everything the larger HomePod can do powered by Siri. You can control smart devices that are compatible with Apple’s HomeKit and even use it for streaming content from Apple Music, TuneIn, Podcasts amongst others. Alternatively, you can also use the Handoff feature from your iPhone by simply tapping on the speaker with your phone and it will transfer whatever was playing. You will get a notification on your iPhone and feel haptic feedback whenever you are transferring audio to the HomePod Mini. Having said that, in order for this feature to work, both devices need to be on the same WiFi network.Β 
    Β© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
    Apple has also introduced a new intercom feature that allows users to broadcast voice messages to other Apple devices at your home. You simply need to say β€œHey Siri, Intercom…” followed by your message. You can turn off this feature from the Home app settings or select when to receive notifications. I’ve personally set it on β€œWhen I’m Home” as I don’t expect to step out anytime in the near future. You can send voice notes via Intercom to iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, AirPods to family members which you have to choose in the Home app.Β 

    Β© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
    If you are looking to get two HomePod Minis, you can also pair them up in stereo for a better audio experience. This was possible on the larger HomePod as well which is great for users who would like to pair it with their Apple TV. You can place it in a manner that you get the best audio acoustics from the smart speaker. The speaker is also powered by Apple’s U1 Wideband chip which does help in tuning the audio according to the environment and detect iPhones for the handoff feature.Β 

    Sound Quality Β© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
    I’ll be honest, I did not expect the HomePod Mini to pack a punch when it comes to audio quality due to its sheer size. The speaker is loud enough to fill up a medium-sized room and keeps the sound balanced for all types of genres. The HomePod Mini is clearer than most other speakers we’ve used that come in a similar size and sound less distorted. The mids and highs are balanced perfectly and can be distinctly heard at medium to low volumes. Having said that, the lows or bass still needs a bit of tuning even though it still sounds better than the competition. You do get enough bass without having the overall sound getting distorted which is always a good sign with small speakers. However, if you are looking for a more powerful bass sound, we recommend getting the regular HomePod for your needs. If you listen to a lot of podcasts, the HomePod Mini is the perfect smart speaker for listening to spoken word content.Β 

    The Final SayIf you are an iPhone user looking for a smart speaker that works seamless with your phone, the HomePod Mini is a great option to consider. It doesn’t take too much space and sounds great for its size. The smart speaker can handle all of your queries via Siri and is perfect for controlling HomeKit devices such as cameras, smart lights and other devices. There’s finally an affordable option for iPhone users who want to make full use of their HomeKit and Apple’s ecosystem.
