    The World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH), an international membership organization founded in 1948 to advance the prevention of mental and emotional disorders, the proper treatment and care of those with such disorders, and the promotion of mental health, organised a 45-day global campaign to unveil the theme for this year - Mental health for all: Greater Investment, Greater Access. From September 1 to October 11, 2020, on the occasion of the World Mental Health Day, WFMH in joint efforts with partner organizations, the World Health Organization (WHO) and United for Global Mental Health, powered by Trijog and Youth for Mental Health focussed on making mental health care a reality for all, with key emphasis on awareness, advocacy, accessibility, and action. 

    In the words of the president of WFMH, Dr Ingrid Daniels, “Mental health is a human right – it’s time that mental health is available for all. Quality, accessible primary health care is the foundation for universal health coverage and is urgently required as the world grapples with the current health emergency. We, therefore, need to make mental health a reality for all – for everyone, everywhere.”

    “Together we are stronger and together we can make a big difference all over the world. World Mental Health Day aims to raise awareness in the global community about the critical mental health agendas – with a unifying voice through collaboration with various partners – to take action and to create lasting change through the messages we promote,” added Ingrid

    The virtual global campaign showcased thought-provoking conversations with psychologists, influencers, and stakeholders on multifarious themes, artistic performances, a series of informative social-media posts to raise awareness, and a social media campaign using a custom-made Instagram filter to garner worldwide support - as we stand in solidarity for mental well-being and embark on our global mental health expedition.

    The campaign culminated with the first ever Global Mental Health Festival to celebrate World Mental Health Day - Global Mental Health Fest’20, featuring global personalities and advocates. The festival, in association With Harvard Global Mental Health, The Artidote, and Vh1, featured insightful talks, discussions, unwinding sessions, beautiful artistic performances and a lot more for the world to learn and indulge in.

    The sessions featured renowned experts from the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Foundation, Harvard University, Columbia University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Lesley University, Fortis Healthcare, California Institute of Integral Studies, St. Xavier’s College and many more leading organizations from countries across the globe.

    The Global Mental Health Fest’20 was pillared on the three principles of Think, Act, and Grow. When we think and act together for a cause larger than ourselves, we grow and allow the world to become a better place for all. In the apt words of Arushi Sethi, the chairperson of youth section & board member, WFMH, “We can change the World! If we; Think, Act & Grow Together!”

    Thirty four year-old Nikhil Kamath & his elder brother Nithin (39) are the latest entrants to Forbes’ list of the 100 richest Indians. They are the founders of Zerodha & True Beacon, two of India’s most rapidly growing trading and instrument firms. 

    © Nikhil Kamath
    Nikhil is also a well-known venture capitalist and one of the co-founders of RainMatter, a venture capital firm that focuses on the fintech space.

    While Nikhil’s business acumen and his accomplishments as an analyst are pretty well known among the people who follow business news, people don’t really know a lot about his journey, what made him the successful entrepreneur that he is.
    © Nikhil Kamath
    Here are 7 things that you probably didn’t know about India’s youngest billionaire.

    1. He’s worth 11.3 Thousand Crore © Nikhil Kamath
    Nikhil Kamath and his brother are worth over $1.5 Billion. That makes them the 90th richest people in India. And do keep in mind, that Nikhil is just 34 whereas his brother is 39. This means that they still have a long time ahead of them to crack the top 10. And given just how quickly and rapidly they have expanded, it seems possible that they might be able to do just that, someday.

    2. He Played Chess For India © Nikhil Kamath
    Nikhil is not just an avid chess player, he has, in fact, played the sport at a professional level, and even represented India in a number of tournaments. He believes that trading and analytics drew him because of his proficiency in chess. The skills he developed while playing chess, mainly a thorough analysis of deviations in strategies, are what helped him in his business.

    3. He’s A Bookworm Who  Dropped Out Of School © Nikhil Kamath
    At the age of 15, he dropped out of school to concentrate on chess, much to the chagrin of his father. This is also the reason why he is an avid reader because according to him, that was the only way he could educate himself, through books. Some of his favourite authors include Nicholas Taleb, Peter Thiel & Ram Dass.

    4. He Started Trading At The Age Of 17 © Nikhil Kamath
    Yup, he started trading at the age of 17, two years after he dropped out of school. He spent the next 2 decades in understanding the dynamics of the market. Success may not depend on someone’s age, but it surely depends on how much of an effort one is willing to make.

    5. He Started Out In A Call Centre © Nikhil Kamath
    Nikhil actually started his ‘career’ by working in a call centre. He did this while he was trading. Nikhil would work as a trade analyst by the day and would work the night shift at a call centre. This just goes on to show that no matter how you begin, you can reach unimaginable heights through your dedication and hard work.

    6. He Is An Adrenaline Junkie © Nikhil Kamath
    Nikhil is a proper adrenaline junkie, and by that, we don’t mean he just loves to travel. Go through his Instagram photos and you’ll see a ton of pictures of him climbing rocks, jumping out of aeroplanes, and spelunking through caves.

    7. He Is A Self Confessed ‘Horophile’ © Nikhil Kamath
    Apart from collecting pieces of art and bikes, Nikhil is a self-confessed horophile or someone who loves watches. He says that although he is not an expert on watches like a horologist, he is obsessed with timekeeping and collects vintage watches.

    Ranbir Kapoor is in the league of successful Bollywood actors with a net worth estimated to be over Rs 320 crores. Reportedly, the 38-year-old actor charges around Rs 18 to 20 crores per film and a whopping Rs 5 crores for brand endorsements. 

    Ranbir is also a big-time petrolhead and his larger-than-life car collection is proof of that. Considering his luxurious lifestyle, his garage is such that can make any man go totally green with envy. 
    Here’s a look at Ranbir Kapoor's garage that is home to some of the most expensive, luxurious and kick-ass cars:
    1. Audi R8 © Motor1
    The major petrolhead that he is, Ranbir Kapoor owns the last-gen model of the supercar Audi R8, according to TOI. 

    In fact, this is one of the oldest and most prized possessions of the actor. 
    The Audi R8 is powered by a 5.2-litre V10 petrol engine and generates a maximum power of 602bhp and peak torque of 560Nm. 
    Approx. ex-showroom price: Rs 2.72 crore onwards
    2. Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG  © Youtube
    Ranbir is one of the few celebrities in India who owns this powerful SUV that can reach a top speed of 210kms per hour. The beast comes with a 5.5-litre V8 Petrol engine that produces 563bhp and a maximum torque of 760Nm.

    Approx. ex-showroom price: Rs 2.14 crore onwards
    3. Audi A8 L  © Auid Media Center
    This one stands out in the list for one particular reason. His love for number 8. From his favourite football jersey to his cars’ number plates, Ranbir Kapoor has had a long-standing affair with the number 8. 

    A report in TOI quoted a source saying, “It’s also because it coincides with Neetu’s birthday – July 8 – and everyone in the family makes sure that the registration number totals up to it.” 
    Looks like his love for number 8 expanded towards car models too when he brought home Audi R8 and Audi A8 L. 
    Audi A8 L comes with a 2995 cc V6 petrol engine with direct fuel injection and turbocharging and can reach a top speed of 250km per hour.

    Additionally, the car also comes equipped with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a full-time AWD system. Who wouldn’t want to own this? 
    Approx. ex-showroom price: Rs 1.6 crore

    Celebrities go through major physical transformations, which we call method acting, for particular roles in movies. That's exactly what they do with their appearance as well, especially with their hairstyle, to fit into a role.  
    Here are 8 celebrities who experimented with their hairstyle, because of their commitment to the character in the movie. Check it out:
    1. Timothee Chalamet © Twitter/TimotheeUpdates


    © Twitter/TimotheeUpdates
    Timothee became quite popular for his superior acting in the movies Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird. 

    Besides his acting, the actor also grabbed eyeballs for his long curls that give him a young and boyish look. However, for his look in The King, which released on Netflix, Chalamet flaunted his dramatic bowl cut as he played the role of King Henry IV.
    2. Alexander Skasgard © Twitter/Skarsgard_Love
    © Twitter/Skarsgard_Love
    Alexander Skarsgard has worked in a vast series of shows and movies and in most of it, his overall look remained unchanged. 

    The short spiked hair with a blonde tinge has been as it is, and has not changed until The Hummingbird Project came along. People were blown away seeing Skarsgard in the partially bald look but thankfully, that was just for the role.
    3. Saif Ali Khan © Instagram/Saif_FC

    Saif Ali Khan's evolution in the grooming department has always been on point. From nailing the man bun to sporting short spiked hair, there's nothing he hasn't tried to nail. 

    But for his stint in the movie Go Goa Gone, he was seen in quite a questionable hairstyle when he coloured his hair blonde and no, it wasn't a pretty sight! But I guess you've got to do what the role demands you do.
    4. Tom Hanks © Instagram/Tom Hanks

    Tom Hanks is recognised by his clean and neat hairstyle, which didn't change for a very long time. Until his role in Cast Away came along. 

    Hanks was seen in a completely different avatar, with his maroon full, bushy beard and long hair, which he donned for most of 2000.
    5. Leonardo DiCaprio © Twitter/Leonardo DiCaprio_fans
    © Twitter/Leonardo DiCaprio_fans
    Leonardo DiCaprio has served us several immaculate style moments with his hairstyles, ever since he appeared in Titanic and Romeo and Juliet with his trademark side parting golden hairdo. This hairstyle became quite popular. 

    In 2014, though, he grew out his hair and started sporting a man bun with a bushy beard. The actor unveiled that it was for his role in Revenant and it all worked out for the best.
    6. Matt Damon © Wikipedia
    © Twitter/Thedamonfanclub
    Matt Damon has been pretty consistent with his hairstyle. The same side-swept wavy hair has been ruling his grooming game with a bit of variation. 

    However, all that changed thanks to the actor's role in the movie Elysium, in which he sported a close buzz cut that instantly struck a chord with us.
    7. Salman Khan © Twitter/Bhai_fanclub

    Back in the days, Salman Khan had quite a common hairstyle. Short hair with a clean-shaven face was his go-to. 

    But when Tere Naam released, his middle-parted hair, became a cringey affair. Also, for his role in the movie Mujse Shaadi Karogi, he was bestowed with yet another controversial hairstyle with bangs.

    SRK seems to be growing out his hair, at the moment. But for movies, he has pulled off some uber-cool hairstyles in the past. 

    Some of his styles, including his gelled hair and super spiked hair, in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai & Ra.One made a solid style statement in the movies and we guess it worked.

    While taking care of your skin and face is necessary, taking care of your beard is equally important. 
    So, like a good skincare routine consists of a comprehensive CTM routine, a beard care routine also involves multiple products. Some of these include:
    1. The Man Company Argan & Geranium Beard Oil © The Man Company
    With the goodness of argan oil, the product is great at making beard hair softer, silkier, and shinier. It also helps tame beard frizz and enhances the manageability and long-lasting conditioning of the beard.

    2. Spruce Shave Club Cedarwood Beard Softener © Spruce
    This beard softener is a formulated cream with essential oils that will not just nourish and condition your beard but also tame beard frizz and improve the overall hair growth. 

    The mango butter is an emollient and helps in conditioning and hydrating the beard to keep it shiny.
    3. Phy Cult-ivator Growth Promoting Beard Crème © Phy
    The specially designed beard crème helps get a smoother, softer, frizz-free beard with a consistently lightweight that helps tame the mane, and also helps in making the beard visibly shiny and healthy.

    4. Beardo Godfather Beard oil © Beardo
    Beardo Godfather beard oil has a blend of almond oil and aloe vera that helps create a formula that helps you style your beard in multiple styles with relative ease. 

    This formula enables your beard hair to become soft and malleable throughout the day.
    5. Whiskers Invigorating Beard Wash © Whiskers
    It is common knowledge that beard and moustache hair attracts dust and grime, which if left, can potentially damage your beard and the skin underneath. 

    This beard wash helps cleanse, moisturise, and hydrate the beard. It also helps tame the brittle hair while repairing the damaged skin cells.

    Back in the old days, it seemed like Bollywood only had one agenda - show who can make the most adarsh child in a movie. Sanskaars this, sanskaars that, all that the grown-up children could do was literally what their parents told them to, after all, don't want them to be batameez, right?
    But, like always, it was taken too far and I'm not even talking about all the misogyny masquerading as sanskaars in these movies.
    Yes, of course, kids should respect their parents and listen to them but not to the extent of giving up any free will and living their life just according to them. That's honestly extremely problematic, but sadly, way too relevant for desi children.
    And overly-sankaari movies didn't help the case at all, everything was so extreme and over the top, it almost feels like propaganda movies that parents collectively made for kids everywhere.
    1. Baghban © B. R. Films
    The first movie when you think of sankaars will never not be Baghban. I get what the movie was trying to say, children can be disrespectful after 'leaving the nest' but they showed such extremes sides of the spectrum, it honestly feels like a comedy.

    © B. R. Films
    On one hand, the worst, most disrespectful kids any person can have, and on the other hand, you have a son who puts his parents' picture in the temple? It's so bizarre that there was no balance between the behaviour, just polar opposites.

    2. Hum Saath-Saath Hain © Rajshri Productions
    A well-loved typical Bollywood drama showing how great joint families are. You have righteous, adarsh children who will do anything to not let their parents down, even if it involves being more mature than the parents and going away to protect the family.

    © Rajshri Productions
    3. Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! © Rajshri Productions
    I would personally like to thank this movie for bestowing upon the internet the meme of Renuka Shahane falling down the stairs. But, there's still so much problematic stuff in the movie, almost as problematic as the internet making a joke out of a death scene.

    Every one of these sanskaari movies has Mohnish Bahl playing the sensible and mature older brother and has Salman Khan playing a character named Prem. Was this in their contract or something?
    © Rajshri Productions
    If the older brother's wife died, didn't anyone think it was weird to marry off the widowed guy to his late wife's younger sister? Anything to keep the sanskaars intact, I guess.

    4. Vivah © Rajshri Productions
    Oh yes, the only goal in life for a woman is to get married and become fair otherwise who will marry you? A lot of these movies are just straight-up sexist and it's infuriating to see.

    © Rajshri Productions
    Sanskaari bahu is the ultimate life goal, no other personality trait.

    5. Cocktail © Illuminati Films
    Okay, I know this is the farthest thing from a sanskaari movie, but hear me out. The movie is on this list because it basically shows the juxtaposition of a wild party girl with a simple and sankaari woman. 

    © Illuminati Films
    It shows the party girl as someone you just have fun with, but she's not marriage material, of course. What a subtle way of showing sanskaari is better than an independent woman. 

    Hmm, I smell something. Oh, it's misogyny!

    The thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) might be lacking its usual hullabaloo in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), but there is no dearth of excitement or entertainment when it comes to cricketing action. The ongoing edition, in its initial phase, has already witnessed pulsating clashes that has provided cricket fans with memorable moments to cheer for.
    Whether it's blistering batting displays, majestic bowling spells or gravity-defying fielding efforts, the IPL 2020 has undeniably produced everything a cricket fan can really ask for. While some players have thrived, others are still finding their feet in the tournament. 
    But, there has been an interesting coincidence amongst key performers this season - something that would surely make Shah Rukh Khan feel proud.
    While there have been more than a handful of performers, the common denominator in most of them seems to be the name 'Rahul'. Their last name, and first in one case, might be different but 'Rahul' is the only name on every cricket fan's lips this season. 
    Just as Shah Rukh Khan had said in the movie Dil Toh Paagal Hai, "Rahul, naam toh suna hi hoga", these 'Rahuls' are surely living up to the hype of the actor's iconic dialogue on the back of mesmerising performances this season:
    1. KL Rahul  © Twitter/@IPL
    The domination of Rahuls in the IPL this season was kick-started by Punjab captain Kannur Lokesh (KL) in the 6th Match of the tournament. Leading from the front, Rahul, in a top-class exhibition of power-hitting, bludgeoned his way to a sensational 69-ball 132, recording the first hundred of the season.

    Scoring a staggering 14 fours and 7 sixes in an innings that came at a strike-rate of over 191, the Punjab captain looked in a class of his own, shattering numerous records as he raced to his hundred. 
    The knock made Rahul the fastest Indian player to reach 2000 runs in the IPL. His unbeaten score of 132 runs is now the highest by an Indian batsman in the tournament. And, most importantly, it earned Punjab a huge win of 97 runs. 
    Overall, Rahul has amassed 313 runs in six games and currently remains the leading run-getter in the tournament.
    2. Rahul Tewatia © Twitter/@IPL
    Following the footsteps of his namesake at the Punjab camp, Rahul Tewatia has also successfully carried the baton for those with whom he shares the tournament's most popular name. 

    The Rajasthan Royals (RR) allrounder had given a glimpse of his brilliance, a 3-wicket spell, in their win over Chennai earlier in the tournament, but his best came against Punjab in a match he turned single-handedly in Rajasthan's favour.
    Chasing a mammoth total of 223 runs, Rajasthan were aided by the likes of Samson (85) and Steve Smith (50). But, it was Tewatia's late fireworks, a herculean batting effort of a 31-ball 53 against all odds, that undeniably sealed a four-wicket win for Rajasthan, which also became the highest successful run-chase in IPL. Overall, Tewatia has scored 106 runs and claimed four wickets in five matches so far.
    3. Rahul Chahar © Twitter/@IPL
    The third player who is equally contributing to the ensure the popularity of 'Rahuls' doesn't fade away, is Mumbai Indians' spinner Rahul Chahar. The leg-spinner has been a vital cog in the Mumbai setup and, despite bowling in tough situations, young Rahul has been nothing short of impressive this season.

    Used by captain Rohit Sharma in different phases of the match, the 21-year-old dismissed a well-set Dinesh Karthik (30) to derail Kolkata's run-chase, eventually playing a key role with figures of 2-26 in Mumbai's 49-run win in 5th Match of the tournament. 
    Against Punjab in the 13th Match, Chahar recorded exactly the same figures, 2-26, dismissing the likes of KL Rahul and Glenn Maxwell to seal a key win for his team. 
    Overall, the leg-spinner has been influential for Mumbai, taking seven wickets in six matches so far.
    4. Rahul Tripathi  © Twitter/@IPL
    The world order of 'Rahuls' this season was finally established in the IPL by Rahul Tripathi in the 21st Match of the tournament. Tasked with the responsibility of opening the innings, Tripathi grabbed the opportunity with both hands as he smoked clubbed a match-winning 81 on a day when others couldn't get going.

    The 29-year-old smashed eight fours and three sixes in an innings that came at a strike-rate over 158. While none of the established Kolkata stars couldn't score past 17, Rahul's 81 ensured his team reached a competitive total of 167 runs. 
    His batting effort proved decisive as Chennai eventually fell short of the target, losing the game by 10 runs.
    Here's the video of SRK saying 'Rahul naam toh suna hoga'. Tripathi is blushing throughout. pic.twitter.com/2q0L1IIx52
    — ɑeɡoη (@smirkesque) October 7, 2020
    Owing to his superlative batting effort, Rahul was rightly adjudged the 'Man of the Match'. And, there was no surprise to see Shah Rukh shouting his iconic dialogue, "Rahul, naam toh suna hi hoga", from the stands as Tripathi got his MoM award. 
    There is no doubt Tripathi deserves the plaudits, but there are three other players who're keeping the domination of 'Rahuls' alive in the tournament.
