    When it comes to festivals and special occasions, receiving gifts is hands down the best part about them. 

    Who doesn’t like getting a perfect gift. Something that is thoughtful, useful and most importantly, something interesting. 
    Well, unfortunately, we rarely receive a gift that is this perfect.
    Most often than not, we end up with a gift that we re-gift or probably just toss into a dusty corner of the cupboard. 
    Yes, some gifts are that bad! 
    Here are certain conventional gifts that most Indians are absolutely tired of receiving.

    __ECOMLOOKS__1774__
    The BottomlineIn the end, we would just like to say that some gifts are way more cliched out by now. This season, try and stay away from these and go for something more thoughtful and useful. 
    Trust us, one great gift can truly strengthen your bond!

    After a whirlwind of what 2020 has been, everyone is prepping for Diwali and the upcoming festive season. A major theme this year for the festivity is going to be house parties and social bubbles that adhere to COVID-19 precautions.
    However, Diwali will still be a time when we finally get to celebrate after months of staying inside and practising social distancing. It is evident that everyone will want to put their best for these house parties.

    One of the problems that people face amid Diwali parties is the pictures that are taken. Somehow, the skin tends to look sweaty or greasy in these pictures.

    Since October and November are transitional weather months, sometimes, the weather does induce sweat. However, here's how you can tackle it:
    1. A Mattifying BB Cream Should Be Your BestfriendA BB cream conceals skin imperfections, evens out skin tone. It's also good at covering up dark circles, blemishes, pimples, and spots. 
    Moreover, if you pick out an oil-free BB cream, you get smooth skin with a mattifying effect that helps prevent grease and oil throughout the day. 
    The MUD Natural BB cream is one of the BB creams that do the job well.

    While this may sound counterintuitive but the trick to get rid of greasy and oily skin is to apply a facial oil instead of a moisturiser. The trick to nixing oily skin is applying more oil. 

    The oil that you apply absorbs quickly and leaves your skin oil-free because it registers the oily levels of the skin as sufficient so it is in fact counterproductive.
    3. Keep Face Wipes Handy & Keep An Oil Controlling Cleanser, Handy © iStock
    While taking other precautions, oil might still build on your face because of factors that are beyond your control like the humidity levels on that particular day. 

    The best way to deal with this is to keep face wipes and an oil-controlling cleanser handy in your bag and use them whenever the need arises.

    There are a lot of studies and theories out there on the harmful radiation from mobile phones and how they affect humans. You may be familiar with the SAR values on cell phones and the whole debate around that topic. Well, the whole conversation around that topic just took an unexpected turn because there's now a mobile chip that claims to reduce radiation from mobile phones.
    What's more interesting here is that the chip is said to be made out of cow dung. Yes, the Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog (RKA) chairman Vallabhbhai Kathiria unveiled the chip and said it'll help reduce radiation from mobile handsets and safeguard against diseases.
    Here, check out what he has to say -

    #WATCH: Cow dung will protect everyone, it is anti-radiation... It's scientifically proven...This is a radiation chip that can be used in mobile phones to reduce radiation. It'll be safeguard against diseases: Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog Chairman Vallabhbhai Kathiria (12.10.2020) pic.twitter.com/bgr9WZPUxK
    — ANI (@ANI) October 13, 2020 

    He spoke at the nationwide campaign ''Kamdhenu Deepawali Abhiyan'', which is aimed at promoting cow dung products. We're all for cow dung products but we wouldn't have thought about a mobile chip made out of cow dung to protect from harmful mobile phone radiation. Nope, never in a billion years.


    The chip, he says, is named Gausatva Kavach and is apparently manufactured by Rajkot-based Shrijee Gaushala. As you can see in the video, he says that it's been scientifically proven to work and it reduces radiation. There's no way for us to prove it and tell you guys if it actually works. So we're not going to comment on whether or not it works or stop people from buying it.

    Vallabhbhai Kathiria further appealed to people to avoid using China-made diyas this Diwali and said they're launching a new campaign to boost the ''Make in India'' concept of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    What's that saying? That people who live in glass houses should not throw stones? Well, someone really needs to show this to Vivek Agnihotri because man, he's spewing hate online which is incredibly ironic considering his movies.
    © Twitter
    Vivek Agnihotri is coming after Bollywood for 'destroying' a lot of things like 'art and culture' and people can't help but laugh at him. Sorry for repeating the word irony, but that's what sums up this entire thing.

    Can the public sue Bollywood for destroying music, lyrics, language, art, creativity, social fabric and culture of India?
    — Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) October 12, 2020
    When an actor who worked on your movie is telling you to be shaant, maybe you should actually listen.

    Full props to Nikhil Dwivedi for this hilarious tweet.
    Sirrrrrrr You and I made #HateStory together. Bahut trolling hogi hamari shant ho jaao. https://t.co/ePtGyAcugT

    Hahahahhahahahahha
    — Sayani Gupta (@sayanigupta) October 13, 2020 Oh, his explanation, by the way.
    Hate Story was made on the same exploitative and titillating template of Bollywood which believes the audience is dumb and somehow make fool of them. Producers came but I never quit all those films and reinvented myself.
    — Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) October 13, 2020 When did Hate Story become a hit? Am I missing something?
    The point is, irrespective of producers believe, you made it and their belief was proven right when the film scored at the box office. So for your sensible cinema to be made you needed a hate story to succeed. In that case, how do you blame an industry and not the movie goer?

    A lot of times we dislike a few Bollywood songs but they later get stuck in our heads.  After all, many Bollywood songs don’t really make any sense and are offensive and even sexist in many ways.
    Half the songs are remixes of old songs and have unnecessary rap in between that will make you think that you don’t like a particular song. However, after a few days, you’d end up getting stuck wherein you’d be listening to the same songs that you once hated on loop.
    So, here are 5 Bollywood dancing songs that we all initially hated but now can’t do without it-
    Ghungroo - War 
    The song is from Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer film that performed extremely well at the box office. However, a lot of us didn’t like the song Ghungroo featured in the film but now almost everyone who likes to dance knows the hook step of this song.
    Akh Lad Jave – Loveyatri
    The film released in the year 2018 and starred Warrina Hussain and Aayush Sharma in the lead roles but couldn’t do well at the box office at all. However, this song soon became a hit and even after two years, you’ll see people listening to it. 
    Dilbar -Satyameva Jayate
    Everyone would agree that most of us dislike remixes but this one, we’d just listen so that we can look at Nora Fatehi’s moves. This song gets you in the party feels and we don’t mind if the DJ plays this song. 

    Kamariya – Stree
    Honestly, most of us don’t even remember this song’s lyrics but the beat of this song would want to dance. This song also showcases Nora Fatehi doing the magic that she does and no one would ever want to miss that. 

    Dheeme Dheeme - Pati Patni Aur Woh
     Most of us are still struggling with the hook step of this song but now we have come up with our own steps. This song is played at every party and sometimes even when you’re going on just a long drive, this song will get you in the part feels.

    Apple first introduced wireless charging in 2017 with the launch of the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and the iPhone X . It was a big deal for iPhone users but it didn't make any impact on the market because Android phone users had been using it for years.
    Ever since then we've been waiting for Apple to come up with something really cool and useful that'll actually make Android users envious. Well, it looks like it's finally happening.
    © MPOW

    According to a new listing online, it looks like Apple's new iPhone 12 will support magnetic wireless charging. MPOW Japan, a third-party accessories manufacturer, has already debuted a magnetically attached wireless charging system for the iPhone 12.

    Their press release says the charger is built to support a new magnetic charging specification that'll most likely be introduced with the iPhone 12. Their charger incorporates a "specially processed" ring-shaped magnet that is positioned strategically around a central charging coil. They say a similar arrangement of magnets is placed inside the iPhone 12 too, allowing for firm attachment with compatible accessories.
    © MPOW

    This bolsters the rumors that Apple's new iPhones will support magnetic wireless charging. We're pumped to see this feature because it's going to make our lives a lot easier. The biggest pet peeve that most people have while using wireless chargers is making sure the alignment of the coil is in place.

    With magnetic chargers, we won't have to worry about the alignment. We're not sure if Apple will be making its own magnetic wireless chargers but we won't be surprised to see that happening down the line. Anyway, we'll get to know more about the new iPhone tonight when Apple officially unveils everything. Stay tuned for more info on the same.

    When Zac Efron’s much-talked-about Baywatch body was first seen on the big screen, people were absolutely stunned by all the gains he had made.  
    From being a skinny kid with the old-school Justin Bieber haircut to transforming into an absolute hunk with block-shaped abs, and 5 per cent body fat, the fitness world truly appreciated the man’s dedication for the look (too bad the film didn’t show half the dedication). 
    © Paramount Pictures
    According to Muscle and Fitness , Zac’s biggest friend during this transformation was the wonderful technique of ‘supersetting’  ie; doing two or more exercises back-to-back with no rest in between. 
    Supersets not only increase the intensity of your workouts by not allowing the muscles to relax between sets but also reduces your gym-time significantly and leads to a higher rate at which your body burns calories and gets rid of fat. 
    © Paramount Pictures
    In Zac’s case, his trainer, Patrick Murphy crammed some of his best exercises into a three-day workout routine (with one day break after every workout day) and here’s how his weekly sheet looked like (via Muscle and Fitness) :  
    DAY 1 - Back and Biceps:

    Why Does Zac Efron Not Want To Get Back Into The Baywatch Shape Again? 
    © Paramount Pictures
    While appearing on the popular YouTube show Hot Ones, Efron revealed how incredibly difficult it was to maintain that physique. He said:  
    "That was actually a really important time to do Baywatch because I realized that when I was done with that movie, I don't ever want to be in that good of shape again. 

    He added:  
     "You're working with almost no wiggle room, right? You've got things like water under your skin that you're worrying about, making your six-pack into a four-pack. [Stuff] like that, it's just not… It's just stupid. It's just not real." 
    What a lot of people fail to understand is that the extraordinarily ‘ripped’ physiques actors acquire for a role comes from months of dedication in the gym. It is their job to look the part and for that, they have to spend 5-6 hours a day at the gym and follow a ruthlessly strict diet. 
    And even though it is not impossible for those who work a regular 5-9 job, to have such a chiselled physique, maintaining it for more than a few months is almost next to impossible.

    Twitter is always about trends and keeping up with them. People love these random challenges and online activities that go viral every now and then, giving them a chance to ditch the social media monotony and participate in something new and ‘exciting’.
    The latest trend which seems to have taken over Twitter users is called ‘How It Started Vs How It’s Going’ and people are getting rather creative with their tweets on the subject. So as you can probably tell, the idea is pretty much like the Before-After pictures people share, only these seem to tell elaborate stories using just two images.
    how it started. how it’s going ️ pic.twitter.com/cqWCTgIJAI
    — Aman Raj Raghuwanshi (@amanraj208) October 8, 2020
    A lot of these images actually evoke some sort of sentimental response and make you scroll through all the others that come your way. From transformations to relationship goals, the pictures under this trend really do make for a wholesome viewing experience.
    We feel this trend may have begun to make people realise how far they have come in their journeys with sometimes very little or nothing to get them by. This may just be the reminder of strength and resilience people need right now to push through these unusual times, and what better way to do that than by showing how far you’ve come!
    Check out people’s heartwarming and funny responses here.

    Apple is all set to unveil its shiny new iPhones tonight along with some other products. Apple's product launches, just like their products, are usually great and they get a respectable nod from enthusiasts. But as always we don't expect the iPhones to be perfect, at least when it comes to the specifications.
    If the new rumors are something to go by, then it looks like the new iPhones won't have high refresh-rate panels. That's right, even the new iPhone 12 series users will miss out on high refresh rate panels on their phone and will probably have to wait till the next batch of iPhones come out.
    I’m told that 120hz not being implemented in iPhone 12 Pro is 100% about battery life.

    Hardware was more than capable — but it just eats through battery, and 5G drains enough battery by itself.

    It was basically a choice between 120hz or 5G, and they picked 5G. Rightfully so.
    — Jon Prosser (@jon_prosser) October 11, 2020
    From what we've learned, it looks like Apple had to make a decision and choose between adding either 5G support or 120Hz high refresh rate panels on the new iPhones. It looks like Apple decided to go with the 5G support because all the new iPhone models, including the rumored iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12, and both the iPhone 12 Pro models, will ship with 5G support out of the box.
    Why did Apple have to choose between the two? We think battery life is the biggest bottleneck here. Yes, Apple's A-series processors are quite efficient when it comes to battery life but there's no denying that the new iPhones are going to take a hit because of the 5G support. We can only imagine what it would've been with a 120Hz panel too.

    Winning their fifth match of the Indian Premier League 2020 on Monday, Royal Challengers Bangalore have climbed to the third spot in the points table and are finally looking like the franchise their fans had been wishing for, for years. 
    Defeating Dinesh Karthik’s Kolkata Knight Riders by 82 runs was RCB’s biggest victory over the two-time IPL champions, ever since the inception of the league and it took some action-packed batting from former South African captain AB de Villiers to make a reputable total for their opponents to chase. 
    View this post on Instagram8️⃣3️⃣ of these have come in the last 5️⃣. 💥 💥 💥 #PlayBold #IPL2020 #WeAreChallengers #Dream11IPL #RCBvKKRA post shared by (@royalchallengersbangalore)
    The Protea batsman’s 73-off-33 knock consisted of 11 boundaries and one of his sixes went over the Sharjah Cricket Stadium’s roof and hit one of the cars on the highway as well. 
    For his “superman” innings, as skipper Virat Kohli acknowledged it, de Villiers was honoured with the ‘Man of the Match’ award.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@royalchallengersbangalore)
    While AB was simply amazing with the bat and his numbers were phenomenal too, England cricketer and Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Ben Stokes made a certain observation after the match that turned a few heads as well. 
    He believed that it should have been RCB’s leading bowler Yuzvendra Chahal and not de Villiers who deserved to be the ‘Man of the Match’.  
    In a batters game @yuzi_chahal should get MOM here,incredible figures especially as it’s in Sharjah
    — Ben Stokes (@benstokes38) October 12, 2020
    He tweeted:  
    “In a batters game @yuzi_chahal should get MOM here,incredible figures especially as it’s in Sharjah.”Chahal, who is not only the most efficient bowler in the Bangalore team but also a top-5 contender for the Purple Cap with 10 wickets in seven matches, had an exceptional match as he gave away just 12 runs in four overs while also collecting KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik’s wicket in the second half of the match.
    The Sharjah Cricket Stadium is often called ‘the Batsmen’s Paradise’ especially because of its small playing area, shorter boundaries and a flat pitch. This means that making runs here, especially for gifted cricketers like AB de Villiers wasn’t all that difficult. 
    Conversely, the stadium is also considered a bowler’s doom for all the same reasons mentioned above.

    Therefore, to be able to give away 12 in four overs while taking a major wicket and that too in a T20 game with names like Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik and Shubman Gill facing on the other side, takes some real skills and Chahal proved his worth as a spinner on Monday night.  
    Stokes’ Tweet does shed light on the clear disadvantage that bowlers face in the world of cricket.  
    The amount of work that goes into perfecting their craft is the same to that of a batsman, they are equally responsible for a team’s victory or defeat but when it comes to sharing the rewards, the batsmen often take away the major chunk of it.

    Video Games have been a saviour, to the say the least, around the world after countries went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 2020 has been a weird year for everyone, however the one thing that has been keeping people mentally healthy are video games. In fact, even World Health Organisation also recommended  playing games to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

    However, a new study spotted by Ladbible found that video games are actually beneficial to kids and people who game regularly, given that they play a few times a week for a reasonable amount of time. In fact, the study found that gamers are more inclined to benefit from gaming than getting involved with other nefarious activities such as drug and alcohol consumption.

    The study comes from United Kingdom’s National Literacy Trust, who found that video games can be a genuine route for gamers in reading, creative writing, improving literacy skills and most importantly emotional wellbeing. 

    More than 4,600 young people aged between 11 to 16 were surveyed for this study in the UK and 75% of them said that gaming helps them feel like they are part of a story. This, in turn, inspired them to read more about the games they are playing and inspired their own creativity in the process. 65% of the respondents said that video games could help them imagine being someone else which implies some form of genuine empathy according to the study.

    60% of the respondents also admitted that gaming has the ability to keep their kids in contact with friends and family during lockdown. Keeping in touch with your friends on a regular basis is important for the mental wellbeing of children. Online multiplayer games encourage kids to communicate with their friends and work as a team to win matches or achieve goals in games like Destiny 2. 

    Jonathan Douglas, chief executive of the National Literacy Trust, said, "This research absolutely suggests that mechanisms that young people themselves already enjoy are the best ways to get them into the wider pattern of reading and writing. It's exciting to uncover the opportunities that video game playing can provide for young people to engage in reading, stimulate creativity through writing, enhance communication with friends and family, and support empathy and wellbeing."
    He added, "COVID-19 has significantly disrupted young people's literacy and learning in recent months, and we want to ensure that no stone is left unturned when it comes to identifying new and innovative ways to support children's literacy when they return to school in September.”
