    When it comes to filmmaking, we know that most of the players of the Hindi film industry have a lot to learn from their southern counterparts. In fact, we will go as far as to say they need to learn a whole lot more from their Tamil counterparts. 
    Remember the iconic cop universe that Rohit Shetty made with Ajay Devgn, and named it Singham? Well, it was copied from a movie by this guy, which was called Singam.

    This is Saravanan Sivakumar or Suriya as he is popularly known, and he is, without a doubt one of the most established action stars as far as Indian cinema is concerned. And boy, oh boy, does he know his style a little too well.

    He was one of the first people to break the internet with his extreme body transformation.

    Remember, this photograph was from 2008, way, way before the age of social media? And yet, he was all the rage.

    Then there is the sublime way he dresses. Not many people can pull off pastel shades. And a pastel shade of purple? Well, that’s even harder, considering how often people tend to have wrong and negative connotations about the man wearing such a colour. 

    However, just look at how confidently and how well, Suriya is pulling the colour off.

    And lets not even get started on his “airport looks.” This is how you travel in style. We really like how he has created a contrast between the upper half and the lower half of his body. Plus, those boots, are a nice touch.

    His grooming routine is absolutely spot on as well. That Chevron moustache or pornstache is simply awesome. He pulls that low faded crew cut off with great panache as well.

    We’re not exactly a fan of denim on denim, because people simply tend to overplay their hands. Not Suriya though, he has kept things simple, and without much flair. 

    A basic buttoned-down shirt with jeans, and a nice watch. That’s just enough sometimes.

    And then, there is this. Now, this is what we call smart casuals. If ever you want a masterclass as to how to colour block your outfits the right way, this is one of those pictures that you should refer to. 

    A light blue shirt, under a brown sweater, under a black leather jacket - now that’s winter dressing done right.

    Clearly, the man knows a thing or two about style. Just look at his beard from his photos as Singam. Keep it going, Suriya, you’ve given us some really amazing style goals.

    The Indian skies are impenetrable and secure because of the daredevil protectors who hold the fort at all times, never sparing a thought about their personal safety. These knights in their blue armours put up such a fine display of bravado and selflessness which is matched only by a few others.
    But how often do we think about all the hardships they face and sacrifices they make for the likes of us who are busy delivering justice to people on social media and behave as though the hanging of the Nirbhaya convicts makes India safe for its women and ‘rape never happens’ in Bharat.

    On the occasion of Air Force Day, an Indian Air Force veteran who served the country for 38 years, spoke about his passion for conquering the skies, the unparalleled sacrifices every Armed Forces officer makes for the sake of his/her nation and its safety, as well as what the common man’s responsibility is towards his country.

    Speaking to Humans of Bombay, the retired Air Force officer recalled,
    “I was 3 years old when an Indian Air Force pilot put me in an aircraft. That was all it took for me to know that I also wanted to fly for India someday.  Let me start from the beginning– I joined the National Defense Academy in 1956– I was an Air Force Cadet. After being commissioned to fly in 1960, I began serving in the IAF.” © Facebook/Humans of Bombay
    That was just the beginning. The old man would go on to witness some of the biggest highs and lows of his life while serving for the Air Force and he shares, 
    “During the Gulf war, I was involved in rescuing Indian refugees from Jordan to India. I served during the 1965 war with Pakistan and was even on the sidelines watching a failed coup attempt to capture Saddam Hussain.”That’s not all, he also opened up about all the times he cheated death only to view it as extra hours to serve his country. Talking about those knee-jerking experiences, he shared, 
    “I’ve had quite a few close shaves in my time– once, I’d been flying a lot, so a colleague insisted on flying in my place; he crashed and passed away. I was devastated, but this made me more resolute to serve for him and me, for the years to come. I have had the honour of surviving two major air crashes. We were in Iraq when two fighter jets collided– I can still remember the feeling of elation my fellow officers and I had, knowing that we’d survived to fight another day.” © dignitarydefenseacademy
    He added that right from dropping guns for the troops during the Indo-China war to acting as a commercial pilot when there was a shortage of pilots, he has done it all. Now as a retired ex-serviceman, he makes a valid point when he says, 
    “I spent the majority of my life up in the skies. 38 years I flew for India, that has been my biggest privilege. The youth today must know that privilege – we fought to protect you, and now, we’re handing over the baton to you. What are you doing to serve your country today?” Really, what are we doing to serve our country? Are we doing enough? Can we do better? These are the questions that need to be asked and answered. Do you have an answer for him?

    When you are showering, you mostly know the nuances of it and your hands reach out for products like a routine you don't even realise you have. You check the water temperature, rinse, lather, shower and repeat the process all over again the next day.
    But, did you know that there some steps that you are missing out on or probably don't know? Here are seven shower hacks that will elevate the way you shower:
    1. Try Out Navy Style Shower © iStock
    Waking up late doesn't mean you skip the shower completely and just head to work. Instead, utilise a navy style shower. 

    This is a method that utilises a minimum amount of water and conserves it. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average time spent in the shower is 8 minutes, which means on an average, there's the usage of 17.2 gallons of water.
    When you follow the navy style shower, you utilise only 3 gallons of water. 
    Opt for only these three simple steps: Use the water to take a head to toe shower, turn it off, use the body soap to lather your body and shampoo for your head. Turn the water on and rinse it off completely.
    If you wake up late, this hack will come to your aid and help with a quick shower.
    2. Use An Exfoliator © iStock
    Exfoliation is not just for the face, but it's used for the overall body as well. When you do so, it helps get rid of the dead skin cells and unclogs pores and prevents acne as well. This improves the overall texture of the skin and the body.

    There are two tools which are great for body scrubbing - a synthetic loofah and a back scrubber. Both of these products, do an amazing job of exfoliation.
    3. Moisturise Your Skin Stat © iStock
    Just like shaving your skin, giving it enough hydration is also very important. Dry skin can be uncomfortable and the best way to get to rid of it is by using a body lotion immediately after your shower. 

    It's also important to moisturise the face. When the skin is wet, it's in the most hydrated state, and hence using a lotion stat will enrich your skin.
    4. Use Cold Water To Rinse The Conditioner © iStock
    Using cold water will help lock the nutrients into your scalp and the pores will shut when the cold water hits the scalp. 

    The best way to wash your hair is by rinsing your hair with warm water while using your shampoo and cold water to rinse the conditioner. This will cut down the chances of any damage caused to the skin or the hair. 
    5. Trim Your Toenails After Showering © iStock
    Toenails can be your personal bane on some days but to cut them smoothly, trust us, the best way to do it is right after your shower sesh. 

    The experience is easy and the hot water in the shower helps soften the nails. 
    Opt for a quality manicure set, that comes with a clipper, scissor, cuticle cutter and a filer. The stainless steel set is your best bet. Don't forget to dab some moisturiser after this step.
    6. Try A Face Mask © iStock
    While the water is warming up, you can detoxify your skin in the meantime. 

    Use a mask, made of clay or charcoal, as it helps in getting rid of dirt and debris. Take it down to your neck, as it will exfoliate your skin for the next shave, cutting down the chances of razor burn. 
    Masks made of natural ingredients like jojoba oil, coconut oil etc. will better your chances of having a close, smooth shave. 
    7. Use Steam To Shave © Amazon
    Shaving in the shower is the best because firstly, the steam softens the hair and secondly, it reduces the chances of irritation post-shaving. 

    The steam helps keep the pores open, making it easier to shave. The pre-shave lotion sinks into the skin and you don't even have to bend over the sink, to clean it off. 
    Get a quality, fog-free shave/shower in the bathroom and you are done!

    Coronavirus cases have been on an all-time rise across the country and Lakshadweep has been spared by all of the Health Ministry lists.

    India’s smallest Union Territory- Lakshadweep has so far not recorded even a single COVID-19 case officially till now.
    The smallest Union Territory has so far managed to be completely Coronavirus free and that’s not something very easy to achieve.

    At the moment, India has around 6.84 million total cases of COVID-19 and 5.83 recovered cases.

    Now that Lakshadweep has managed to stay this way for the past eight months, many schools in the region are re-opening and are welcoming students with balloons and fresh paints.
    The Union Territory has more than 11000 students that are studying around 53 schools in the ten inhabited islands.
    © BCCL
    The islands have a population of approximately 64,000 and have been able to stay Coronavirus free and the UT also made testing mandatory for the residents before arriving at the island. They also kept a very strict quarantine policy for the residents.

    Even before the lockdown was announced in March, the UT authorities shut down its ports and airports for tourists. Residents were also only allowed to return if they were COVID-Negative.

    The residents who tested positive with the virus were treated in Kerala and were only allowed to travel after recovery.

    The whole country is outraged by the prevalent rape culture in India and how unsafe women really are. But, a certain gent took it to another level when he blamed Mallika Sherawat and her movies for rising number of cases of sexual violence against women.
    He wrote, “The kind of roles you have played in Bollywood movie contradict your statement. Don’t you think the kind of message you deliver through your movies also play an important role? Improvement should start from the person who is making the statement first.” 
    When Mallika noticed the tweet, she slammed him for his mindset. She responded, “So the movies I act in are an invitation for rape!!! It’s mentality like yours that make Indian society regressive for women! If you have a problem wt my movies then Don’t see them ‪#nocountryforwomen.” ‬
    So the movies I act in are an invitation for rape!!! It’s mentality like yours that make Indian society regressive for women! If you hv a problem wt my movies then Don’t see them #nocountryforwomen https://t.co/I5XdN7zAA6
    — Mallika Sherawat (@mallikasherawat) October 7, 2020It was a pleasant surprise to see some sensible people backing Mallika for her response.

    Well said🏻 I can not find any movie role of @mallikasherawat which give justification to what @karan007kay is saying. If he finds issue with dress sense of girls, then he needs to grow his mind. Also see this account appears a bot. Mallika, you may simply ignore such people.
    — AnilMisraOfficial (@Dear_Anil) October 7, 2020In Hollywood too , there are lot of adult scenes even more than Bollywood .. but still those countries are safe where as india is so unsafe , she is right

    — Saif Khan (@saifkhantoronto) October 8, 2020Do you think blaming Bollywood is the way to go about solving the problem of rapes in our country? Or does the change need to begin at a more fundamental level? Let us know in the comments below.

    Arguably one of the country's top-rated seam bowlers of all time, Zaheer Khan reigned supreme as the Indian cricket team's bowling spearhead for the better part of his playing days. A seamer who could swing the new ball and reverse the old, Zaheer made opposition batsmen dance to his tunes, both on flat subcontinent tracks and helpful overseas pitches.
    By the time he was done, Zaheer had established himself as one of the biggest contributors to Indian cricket on the back of his bowling capabilities. Even after retirement, Zak is still associated with the gentleman's game as he continues to guide budding bowlers looking to make a mark in the sport.

    Well, Tendulkar's big revelation has surely got us all confused as to when we should wish Zak, but there is nothing confusing about his influence in the Mumbai camp which is currently reaping the benefits of having such a proven match-winner around. 

    The Rohit Sharma-led brigade is currently at the top of the table with four wins in six games and eight points for their showing.

    Shah Rukh Khan is not only the romance king of Bollywood but in real life too. He was a Hindu college Grad student when he first met his soulmate Gauri at a party in 1984 and fell in love with her, completely head over heels. 
    © BCCL
    After having worked in several TV series, Shah Rukh took the decision to move to Mumbai, reportedly, as a way to escape the feeling of loss left behind after his mother's death. However, surprisingly, Gauri wasn't always on board with SRK’s career plans. 

    Karan Johar, in one of his interviews, once said, “She prayed for Shah Rukh's film to fail so that they could move back to Delhi.” 
    “I had no patience for films,” Gauri had told Vogue. “It was only after I met Shah Rukh that I learnt to enjoy his passion for cinema,” she added. 
    Over the years, Gauri has played a major role in her husband’s career. She has played producer for many of Shah Rukh's films including Main Hoon Na (2004), Om Shanti Om (2007) and Dear Zindagi (2016).

    At a time, when the cricket fraternity was just coming to terms with the sudden demise of Dean Jones, another shocking news appears to have rattled everyone associated with the gentleman's game. The younger brother of former South African cricketer Vernon Philander has been shot dead a few metres away from his home in Ravensmead, Cape Town.
    According to media reports, Philander's brother Tyrone was delivering a trolley with water to a neighbour when he was shot. As per an African News Agency (ANA) reporter, Tyrone's mother Bonita, accompanied by a family member, watched in horror as her 32-year-old son's body lay in the street. The reports further suggest that the assailants are still at large.

    Disrespecting any kind of Indian food is just asking for trouble. Especially when a white guy does it. Come on, man, there are millions of us here and will roast you to death.
    And, that's why British professor Edward Anderson had to face the wrath of desi people recently after taking a controversial stance about idlis.
    © Twitter
    When Zomato asked about unpopular food opinions, Edward decided to piss off a majority of the population of India.

    Idli are the most boring things in the world. https://t.co/2RgHm6zpm4
    — Edward Anderson (@edanderson101) October 6, 2020 Oh no, don't say that. He did give some more context, though.
    pic.twitter.com/i1jGBnEYE8
    — Edward Anderson (@edanderson101) October 6, 2020 Oops.
    One problem with pissing off south Indian twitter is that they are in literally every timezone - even when India sleeps, the irate replies keep coming!
    — Edward Anderson (@edanderson101) October 6, 2020 As his previous tweet said, too late.
    pic.twitter.com/Z4pwVNE79w
    — Edward Anderson (@edanderson101) October 6, 2020 Just imagine if he had said something about biryani instead of idlis, it would've been even worse. 
    One of the people to actually get really upset with this food take was Ishaan Tharoor. 
    I think I've encountered the most offensive take on Twitter. https://t.co/jRb2xI3mX1
    — Ishaan Tharoor (@ishaantharoor) October 6, 2020 And then, of course, even senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor swooped in to roast this man alive in the nicest possible way.
    Yes, my son, there are some who are truly challenged in this world. Civilisation is hard to acquire: the taste & refinement to appreciate idlis, enjoy cricket, or watch ottamthullal is not given to every mortal. Take pity on this poor man, for he may never know what Life can be. https://t.co/M0rEfAU3V3
    — Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) October 7, 2020 Everyone after that tweet - 
    © Among Us
    While Shashi Tharoor's tweet was sassy as well, it was all in good fun and it even led to a wholesome conversation between the two. 

    Try it with a plate of steaming idlis, accompanied by coconut chutney with a garnish of mustard seeds, a red-chilli-and-onion samandi & some molagapodi w/melted ghee. If the idli batter has been fermented right, it’s the closest thing to heaven on this earth! Class will be better
    — Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) October 7, 2020 And then there's Ishaan Tharoor, following his dad's footsteps.
    Apologies, you don’t deserve all this for objecting to idlis... or maybe you do 🧐
    — Ishaan Tharoor (@ishaantharoor) October 7, 2020 But, he's not your average desi dad.
    Ok Shashi or you could’ve just said “that’s just his opinion Ishaan, focus on your studies”
    — Raunaq Rajani (@SirRaunaqRajani) October 8, 2020 Victory!
    This may be the first time, I have understood each and every word of his without referring to a dictionary...(brb, adding English under languages known) https://t.co/UppmaqWnMk
    — sai (@Pandakahubby) October 8, 2020 The most interesting of the wars.
    The Idli wars. https://t.co/rNQhanTp4M
    — Prabhakar Singh (@OolongTeaCher) October 8, 2020 Ooh.
    Mr Tharoor, the offender is in fact a son in law of your constituency. The next time he’s visiting you must get someone there to remedy his misgivings. @edanderson101

    For someone who reigned as the most expensive overseas player in the 2017 and 2018 edition, Ben Stokes is a noticeable absentee at the Rajasthan Royals (RR) camp in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
    The England all-rounder, who has been part of the Rajasthan outfit since 2018, was expected to join the training camp like others, however, owing to the medical condition of his father, Stokes, quite understandably, chose to spend time with his family. 
    But, with the blessing of his ailing father, Stokes is back in the Rajasthan camp, currently in isolation, and will soon be seen sporting the pink jersey.
    © Twitter/@IPL
    While captain Steve Smith has revealed that the arrival of Stokes, two days earlier than expected, has surely expedited his return into the team, the left-handed batsman will still not be available for their upcoming clash against Delhi Capitals (DC) on 9th October. 

    Though he might be away from the team, Stokes, going by his social media activity, is still keeping close tabs on the turn of events in the tournament.
    Last night, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) edged-past Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to secure a 10-run win. It was a rare match where both the teams deserved to lose owing to their respective shortcomings. But, in the end, it was Chennai whose over-reliance on top 3 and stuttering middle-order instigated their doom yet again, losing a game that wasn't losable.
    © Twitter/@IPL
    Though KKR eventually managed to come out on top, they, too, had their fair share of struggles. Barring Rahul Tripathi (81), none of the Kolkata batsmen looked at their usual best. 

    Apart from that, there were also some key decisions taken by Kolkata that got both the pundits and fans scratching their heads.
    Narine before Morgan???
    — Ben Stokes (@benstokes38) October 7, 2020
    While the ploy of replacing Narine with Tripathi at the top worked wonders for Kolkata, the decision of sending the West Indian ahead of Eoin Morgan didn't just baffle fans, but also confused Stokes. 
    Watching the game on the TV screen from his hotel room in Dubai, Stokes took to Twitter and asked: "Narine before Morgan?"
    Yeah it’s like yuvraj before stokes ! Sometimes u got let the all-rounders go before , bowlers who can bat before a proper batsman to slog !
    — Yuvraj Singh (@YUVSTRONG12) October 7, 2020
    Stokes' question struck a chord with cricket fans who expressed their own opinion. Amongst those responses, one came from Yuvraj Singh who came up with a hilarious analogy. 
    Taking a dig at Stokes, Yuvi replied: "Yeah it's like yuvraj before stokes! Sometimes u got let the all-rounders go before, bowlers who can bat before a proper batsman to slog".
    But you are way better than stokes! Don't underestimate yourself
    — all in one (@7077673aio) October 7, 2020
    While it was all fun and games for Stokes on social media, Rajasthan, on a more serious note, desperately requires the services of the Englishman. 
    The Steve Smith-led brigade is currently placed at a lowly seventh place in the points table with just two wins in five matches so far in the tournament.
