    Forget fats and carbohydrates, let’s load up our plates and drinks with protein because that’s the only nutrient that’ll help us lose weight and build muscles. 

    This might be one of the most bogus nutritional facts of the decade. Unfortunately, most of us fall prey to such beliefs when the food industry kick-starts a trend.    
    While the information shared with everyone isn’t false, many details remain hidden.
    A healthy diet means balancing nutrition in your daily meals. All macronutrients—carbohydrates, fats and proteins—are equally essential for your body, especially when you’re trying to lose weight. So stop believing in these myths about carbohydrates.

    BottomlineCarbs are not the enemy but the way a food product is processed might be. 
    So don’t give up on any source of nutrition without consulting a professional. A dietician can personally advise you what to add and eliminate from your diet based on your body’s needs.

    The most common mistake people make while trying to lose weight is not eating enough.

    Say, you’re squatting, dancing, weightlifting and running to burn extra fat, especially around the belly but you’re not seeing the desired results. You rather feel drained. 
    It could be because you’re not fueling your body the right way. 
    A pre-workout meal or snack that you eat at least 45 minutes before exercising can help you burn more calories and power you through rigorous workout sessions.

    Final ThoughtsTo exercise, your body needs a certain amount of energy. When this fuel is missing, your body starts converting your own muscle tissue into energy which can be counterproductive if you’re trying to build muscles. 
    So don’t skip your pre-workout meal and consult a dietician for more insights on your body’s needs.

    The number of superstitions in India are simply enormous. There is a story, a mythical belief related to almost everything that we see or feel around us. 
    Since birth, we are instructed by our parents and grandparents to do (or not do) certain things in a specific manner or on specific days. We grow up listening to these superstitious instructions that get embedded in our brains and eventually, we do the same to the next generation without actually understanding the reason behind them.
    While most of these superstitions are simply senseless and originate out of people’s blind beliefs, there are some that carry a scientific reason backing them up.
    Here are five common Indian superstitions that are backed by scientific reasons:
    1. The Lemon-Chilli Combo For Good Health & Protection Against Evil © iStock
    The superstition is that if someone puts up a bundle of a lemon and a few chillies in front of their homes, shops or vehicles, it prevents them from contracting “buri nazar”.

    The science behind this belief is that the cotton thread that pieces through the lemon and the chillies absorbs the citrus and some of the other nutrients from the combo. The fragrance that then dispurses into the atmosphere with the help of wind prevents insects from entering the homes/shops.
    2. Eating Curd & Sugar Before Stepping Out Brings Good Luck © Housejoy
    Remember when your grandmother made you eat a spoonful of curd and sugar before an important exam and said that it will bring you good luck?

    Scientifically speaking, curd is one of the most effective ways to prevent your stomach from heating especially during warm summer days in India. The addition of sugar is to give an instant boost of glucose to the body which breaks down into energy quickly. Essentially, good health would allow you to work more efficiently, in turn bringing you prosperity and “good luck”.
    3. Ghosts Reside In Peepal Trees At Night © iStock
    Defamed, insulted and slandered for supernatural beliefs, the OG peepal trees are said to have scary ghosts residing in them at night, waiting for someone to munch on. It is therefore told that one should not stand, sit or sleep under the tree after sunset.

    The logical reason behind this lies in your Class 3 biology book. Although Peepal is known to produce oxygen at night as well, it is nothing compared to the amount of carbon dioxide it releases after sunset. If a person sleeps under a massive peepal tree at night the CO2 inhaled by him will cause him to feel suffocated, thereby giving the illusion of being “possessed by a ghost”.
    4. Throwing Coins In Water Brings Good Luck © iStock
    Every once in a while, we come across a water body, a fountain, a lake or even a river in which people can be seen throwing a few coins. They close their eyes, make a wish in their heart and toss the currency with the hopes of their dreams coming true and their fortunes changing.

    Back in the day, the currencies were made up of copper, a natural purifier of water that can kill microorganisms like molds, fungi, algae and bacteria and protect those who drink that water from harmful diseases, therefore bringing “good luck” in the form of good health. However, these days, neither are coins made from pure copper, nor do we drink directly from the river. So save your coins and buy yourself a nice water-purifier.
    5. Chewing Tulsi Is Disrespectful To Lord Vishnu © iStock
    We have often been told to directly swallow leaves of the tulsi plant and never chew on them. Superstitiously speaking, chewing on the plant leaves is disrespectful to Tulsi, the wife of Lord Vishnu.

    Scientifically, while tulsi leaves have a lot of benefits for a person’s respiratory system, chewing them releases a substance called arsenic that results in tooth decay.

    While SRK's magic perhaps will never get dull for his fans, despite him being 54, it's noteworthy that he actually has a grown up son who can stand next to him now, neck to neck, giving him a run for his money when it comes to his signature charm and poise. Yes, Aryan Khan perhaps has just inherited it from his dad, and has never faltered when it comes to capturing the fancy of the ever-alert paps, while ironically trying to keep a low profile himself.

    A lot has already been discussed and written about him being almost a carbon copy of his father (just like Ibrahim is to Saif, really, the Khans almost justify the old Bollywood trope of having the same actor play both father and son), and rightfully so. 
    This was established yet again, with a side of delightful, fashionable choices in terms of outfits and accessories, when both of them were spotted together on the stands, cheering for KKR. Here are some pictures which make us believe that the fruit has really not fallen far from the tree at all, in the best way conceivable, TBH.

    Facebook seems to like its Messenger service a lot, which is why the company keeps making moves to make it relevant. The company has now announced that it's integrating its Messenger service with Instagram for users. This means Instagram users will now be able to send a direct message to Messenger and vice versa.
    In addition to this launch of cross-platform messaging, Instagram is also getting a major overhaul of its DM system and it'll be getting some Messenger features. These new features include vanishing messages, and the introduction of Messenger’s Watch Together feature that lets you watch videos with friends during a video call. Facebook is also adding the ability to let users on Instagram and Messenger to search for profiles across both apps simultaneously.
    © Facebook
    As you can see, Facebook is making a ton of changes to the way Instagram DMs work. We like the effort to give more features to its users but we wonder if the Instagram DM experience will ever be the same again.

    Instagram's Direct Messaging is probably one of the best solutions out there. It just works and we doubt if its users are craving new features like the vanishing messages or watch party. Also, all this just seems like a build for up some big update down the line in which Facebook might completely import Facebook Messenger and replace the existing simple solution.

    With all that being said, this particular update is not available for all the users just yet. Facebook has also noted that the users can opt-out of all this if they want. You can learn more about this change right here.

    If people keep trolling Abhishek Bachchan on a daily basis by calling him jobless, then who really is the jobless one out of them? *insert thinking emoji*
    Abhishek Bachchan gets way too much hate for someone who always stays in his lane, without being problematic, and always staying a true gentleman. Aren't people tired of coming after him when they've not managed to rile him up with their hateful comments even once?
    The only thing he should be trolled for is this picture and this picture alone.
    © Twitter
    He genuinely seems like a chill dude who loves his family, works on his movies and TV shows, and always stays humble even though he's one of the biggest names in the industry.

    Now, that actually might be the bare minimum, but going by the amount of trolling he gets, his humour and self-restraint in such situations is actually commendable.

    After months of staying indoors, life seems to be limping back to normal. Despite the numerous active cases in the country, the government has decided to re-open movie theatres after being shut for more than six months. The Government of India issued new guidelines for 're-opening' of cinema halls/ multiplexes and as per the new rules, they will re-open from October 15.
    © Google, Can Be Reused
    The Information and Broadcasting Ministry said that Cinemas/ theatres/ multiplexes will be permitted to open with up to 50 percent of their seating capacity. Around 10,000 cinema screens across the country had been shut for close to six months and the movie exhibition sector has suffered immensely.

    “Allowing 50 percent capacity is better than what we thought would be allowed earlier. Most of the countries are following the same norm,” PV Sunil, MD, Carnival Cinemas, told Moneycontrol. In an earlier interview with Moneycontrol, PVR CEO Gautam Dutta had said: “We have spoken to our software engineers. Whenever tickets are booked automatically, seats in between will be left. The first couple of weeks will see low occupancy as new films will take time to warm up. So, the system will automatically push you far away. In fact, people themselves will book seats far away.”
    Now, people on Twitter are so happy with theatres reopening that they are calling it the best news of the week.
    Here’s what they are saying:

    Samsung has launched a UV steriliser box for smartphones and other items at a time when we needed it most. We’ve been using the box for a couple of weeks now, but this story will not be a review, simply because we aren’t medical professionals who can unequivocally say that the box effectively kills germs and viruses. Having said that, using the box did give us peace of mind and we hope it should be there in every home post this pandemic. 
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    Getting the Samsung UV Steriliser is advisable not only to prevent germs and viruses settling on your smartphone and other items during the pandemic, but it should become a norm even if there wasn’t a global crisis. Smartphones are probably the dirtiest objects we use in our daily lives as we keep them on dirty surfaces, use them in bathrooms and take them everywhere with us. Whether you go to the market, a restaurant or visit family members, the phone and other objects like keys, chargers, TWS earphones and almost everything you need to use on-the-go come with you. 
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    Devices like the Samsung UV Steriliser help in keeping bacteria and germs away from your personal articles so that they remain clean and hygienic. It takes about 10 minutes to clean your smartphone or objects and Samsung claims it removes 99% of bacteria and germs, including E. Coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. 

    Having said that, there is no conclusive proof that it can kill the coronavirus from your smartphone. To Samsung’s credit, they don’t claim it does either, however the chances of it removing unwanted germs is higher than having no sterilisation process at all. The steriliser uses UVC light which can deter most germs that can cause other illnesses if you aren’t careful. If you use a smartphone that supports wireless charging, the UV box will also charge your phone, Galaxy Buds while it is getting cleaned inside. If you intend to use the box as a standalone wireless charger for your device on the nightstand, we recommend charging your phone and other devices with the lid open. 
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    You see, wireless charging creates a lot of heat and if you charge your phone with the lid closed, it can cause damage to your phone and the battery since there won’t be any heat dissipation. If you are cleaning your phone for 10 minutes, then keeping the lid closed and having it charged while cleaning is not a problem. However, if you plan to place your phone for wireless charging overnight, keeping the lid open is recommended to prevent any accidents. Do note, the wireless charger in the box does not provide any fast wireless charging even with Samsung devices so if you are looking for something faster, Samsung makes quite a few fast wireless chargers themselves. 

    How to Use The Sterilising Feature © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    Using the sterilising feature is fairly simple as there is only a single button to turn it on/off. Once you switch on the sterilisation by pressing the button, the box will make a single beeping sound and also notify you with a green LED light. The box will turn off itself in 10 minutes by making another beeping sound. The wireless charging feature does not switch off once the sterilisation process has finished however as we said earlier, we recommend opening the lip right after for trapped heat to dissipate. 

    How Much Does It Cost?This is where you will be left astonished as the Samsung UV Steriliser does not break the bank. It costs only Rs 3,600 in India and we highly recommend getting this if you want your belongings to be hygienic. In fact, owning this gadget is essential at a time like this when we feel this pandemic nightmare will never be over.

    Every day there's news of a new gangrape case where a young woman with her entire life ahead was brutalized by some men who felt entitled to her. Another day and another life lost with no hope for reform anywhere. Another day and a new family grieving over their daughter's life cut short. When will this end? When will women stop getting punished for just existing?
    It was just yesterday that the horrific gangrape in Hathras shook the country and made everyone rally together to fight for justice for the 19-year-old woman, whose family didn't even get to give a proper send off to her as she was burned by the police in the middle of the night. Now, another gangrape in Uttar Pradesh is showing us how this is no country for women, once again.
    © Reuters
    About 500 km from Hathras, a 22-year-old Dalit woman died after being allegedly raped and assaulted on Tuesday evening, who died soon after the incident occurred.

    According to the victim's mother, the woman from Balrampur had left the house in the morning to go and get admission to a college. When she failed to return back home on time, the worried family started their search.
    © Reuters
    Reportedly, she reached back at around 7 in the evening, drugged up as assailants had allegedly put her on an e-rickshaw. Her mother said, 
    "The men had injected her with some substance due to which she lost consciousness. Then they raped her... They broke her legs, they broke her back. A rickshaw-wallah brought her home. They were thrown in front of our house. My child could barely stand or speak."#UttarPradesh| 22-year-old Dalit woman gang raped in UP's #Balrampur after being given "lethal injection." The young woman died on the way to the hospital. Two accused in the case have been arrested.

    She added, 
    "Somehow, crying, my daughter said, 'Save me, I do not want to die'."After she complained about severe pain in her stomach, the doctor at the local hospital advised the family to take her to Lucknow but unfortunately, she passed away on the way.
    Refuting the family's claim, the Balrampur police tweeted, "In the said case, prompt action has been taken by the police with both the accused arrested.  Details that hands and legs were broke is not true The post-mortem report does not mention this."
    © Reuters
    Officer Dev Ranjan Verma said, 

    "Her hands had a glucose syringe sticking out. She appeared to be in a very bad condition. The family has named two persons. They said they took her to a doctor to get her treated and raped her. When her condition got worse, they sent her home instead of sending her to the hospital. The police have taken swift action and arrested the two named. We will ensure swift action."Apparently, the local leaders have given the family ₹6.18 lakh as 'compensation'.
    People are questioning the UP government and CM Yogi Adityanath after two unspeakable acts have occurred in a span of few days in the state.
    UP has a history of people fighting for Mandir & masjid, its high time they realise that schools and colleges are way more important.

    A private lab in Kerala’s Valanchery has allegedly been conducting a fraud by issuing fake COVID-19 negative reports to people. Arma Laboratory has made over Rs 45 lakhs through this scam.

    The laboratory is based out of Kozhikode and now Kerala Police is investigating the whole scam that has taken place. According to the police’s investigation, the lab collected approximately 2500 people’s swab samples and only 496 samples were sent to its parent laboratory in Kozhikode.
    © BCCL
    The rest of the samples weren’t sent for a test to the parent lab and were issued false Coronavirus negative reports. This is not the only violation that’s been done by the lab, the lab wasn’t even authorized to collect samples and send them to the parent lab for testing. Also, the lab destroyed the samples for which COVID-19 negative certificates were issued.

    MK Shaji, Inspector, Valanchery police station said in a statement,
    "We have seized the computers from Arma lab after receiving complaints about the issue of fake COVID-19 test certificates. We found that the data from the computers was deleted. We were able to retrieve the data with the help of a cyber cell and came to know the lab collected 2,500 samples. When we checked with the Kozhikode based lab, they said the lab received only 496 samples. We also came to know that Arma lab officials issued fake COVID-19 negative certificates from untested samples.” © BCCL
    Kerala is one of the worst affected states in the country and it has around 61,791 active cases in the state and also 791 casualties due to the pandemic so far. But, this scam is extremely scary and made us wonder if we can really rely on the test reports provided to us by the local labs.

    Thanks to OTT, it's heartwarming to see so many talented actors getting a chance to showcase their acting skills. It’s exciting to see these people trying to make a mark through their art and we're glad that the audience is now more receptive to new talent than before. The trailer of Disney Plus Hotstar’s upcoming release Bahut Hua Sammaan was launched yesterday and it will available to stream from October 2.
    Here’s the trailer: 

    Here are five reasons why we think it will be an exciting watch.
    1. Quirky ComedyAt a time when there's a lot of negativity, not just around Bollywood, but in general too, this movie will be like a breath of fresh air as it will make you laugh. After seeing the trailer, we are sure that the movie will have many comic scenes that will take your mind off of all the stress for a while.
    2. Talented Actors  View this post on Instagram... Bataiye? Deviyon aur Sajjano, pesh hai ek Lovely nayi peshkash. #BahutHuaSammaan, trailer out soon. @disneyplushotstarvip @yoodleefilms @raghavjuyal @imsanjaimishra @iamramkapoor @abhishekchn @ashishrshuklaA post shared by (@nidhisin)
    The film boasts of talents like Raghav Juyal, Abhishek Chauhan, Sanjay Mishra, Nidhi Singh, Ram Kapoor, and Namit Das. All of these actors have already proven their mettle and are brilliant at their craft.

    Just the glimpse of this electrifying duo in the trailer has left us wanting for more of them. The trailer begins with two engineering students Boney and Fundoo (Raghav and Abhishek) who are trying to prove that they are innocent to a police officer, played by Nidhi Singh.

    4. Raghav - A Rising Star  © Disney plus Hotstar
    We have recently seen Raghav in the show Abhay 2 and we know what capabilities he has. Going by the trailer, we can tell that he has much more to offer in this film. Speaking of which, he had said in a statement to PTI, "It was an amazing experience shooting for this film. I am honoured to play the lead and share screen space with such outstanding actors like Sanjay sir. The movie holds a mirror to our society but in a quirky manner. It’s a slice of life comedy that everyone will enjoy."

    5. Interesting Story and Plotline © Disney plus hotstar
    The plotline and the story seems really fresh and the glimpses of the way the story is being told also looks very promising. Here's what the official synopsis reads: “Small-time con artists and not-so-good students Bony and Fundoo fail to grab a job offer at the end of their engineering program since they have not been able to secure a passing grade. This failure coupled with insults from the principal of their college, the boys see a bleak future and more importantly a loss of their reputation among their peers. They see a ray of hope in whacked-out old man fondly called Bakch*d Baba who has devised a masterplan to rob a bank on their campus. As an unfortunate series of comedic events unfold, Bony and Fundoo soon find themselves in the center of an investigation headed by dabanng female cop Bobby Tiwari. They must now work towards clearing their name and getting out of a scam that impacts their lives.”

    Will you be giving it a try tomorrow? Let us know in the comments below.

    Despite the long break from the game thanks to the coronavirus pandemic disrupting sports all over the world, KL Rahul has somehow managed to keep his pre-COVID form alive and well.
    Having scored 222 runs in the three matches he has played for and captained Kings XI Punjab in the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League, Rahul even managed to set the record for the highest individual score by an Indian cricketer in the league (although, with some additional help by Virat Kohli) - an undefeated 132-run innings.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@kxipofficial)
    Punjab, despite losing two out of three matches and being on the number five spot in the IPL points table, has the best Net Run Rate in the entire tournament and Rahul’s cracking knocks have been the first and foremost reason for it.
    He is the leading scorer not just in his team but all eight franchises with teammate and fellow KXIP batting opener, Mayank Agarwal trailing in the Orange Cap race by just one run (221).
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@kxipofficial)
    Rahul’s dominance on the field and the ability to score on demand has definitely left a lasting impression in the minds of the rest of the league, especially the reigning IPL champions, Mumbai Indians.
    The bowling coach of the four-time IPL champions, Shane Bond said the following in the pre-match press conference: 
    “KL Rahul has got runs against us in the last few games as well. Brilliant player. We are having our bowlers meeting this afternoon in terms of the planning for our next opponent who are playing well. KL, look we know he’s a dynamic player, scores all around the field. We also know that he takes his time generally through the middle overs. It allows us to create some pressure on him and the batsmen around him.”
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@kxipofficial)
    He added: 
    “But we will have specific ideas about how we’re going to get him out. In the end, we just can’t allow him to score in the areas where he’s very strong, scores well over extra cover, can pick up over fine leg. You know we have got a quality bowling unit so we just have to put as much pressure on him and Mayank who have been the two key batsmen for Kings XI and played brilliantly throughout the series so far.”The 28-year-old wicketkeeper batsman’s record against MI has been exceptional in the previous encounters the two parties have had. In the last three matchups, Rahul has amassed 265 runs at an average of 88.3 scoring 94, 71 and 100 runs in each innings respectively.
    View this post on Instagram⬆️ happened the last time we faced #MI! 💥 Who wants to see this again? 😍 #SaddaPunjab #IPL2020 #KXIP #KXIPvMI @rahulklA post shared by (@kxipofficial)
    Having said that Mumbai Indians aren’t the most successful franchise in the league history for nothing. Albeit struggling to live up to their reputation at the moment and finding themselves sixth in the points table, MI are well equipped with an excellent bowling line-up capable of flatlining any batting order in the league.
    And they have the exact strategy for someone like KL Rahul too as Bond further explained: 
    “If we can create some pressure and get those boys out earlier and put more pressure on that middle-order early. Then hopefully, we can restrict them to a score and stop them from scoring the runs so we can get on the board.” View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@mumbaiindians)
    Showing faith in his skipper Rohit Sharma and the talented batting top order, he also said: 
    “I think we are reasonably confident with our batting line-up. We have put up good runs on the board. So far in every match we have played are tough batting orders to stop plus we have played on this ground twice, so we sort of know what to expect with the conditions. So that should help us a bit.” View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@mumbaiindians)
    Mumbai Indians will be taking on KL Rahul and Kings XI Punjab today at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi starting at 7:30 PM, IST.

    The OnePlus 8T launch is right around the corner, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be getting any leaks before it actually launches. We already know quite a bit about the upcoming smartphone, however one particular feature remained a mystery until now. The OnePlus 8T is the company’s mid-year cycle refresh that usually comes with incremental upgrades. Now that OnePlus has confirmed there will be no 8T Pro model this year, all eyes are on the OnePlus 8T.

    A leak surfaced online via Twitter user and leaker Sudhanshu who tweeted a Geekbench 4 test result. While we review our phones on the newer Geekbench 5 scale, we can still run the older software to determine comparisons. According to the leak, the phone’s model number is expected to be “OnePlus KB2000” and the results look quite impressive. The leak shows the phone has a single-core score of 3,843 and a multi-core score of 11,714 which is in fact a downgrade over the OnePlus 8. We ran a similar test on the OnePlus 8 and the test yielded a 4,235 in the single-core test and achieved a multi-core score of 13,273. In comparison, the leaked results show the phone scored less than the OnePlus 8 in both tests.

    — Sudhanshu (@Sudhanshu1414) September 29, 2020
    The reason why the tests yielded results lower than the OnePlus 8 could be because the phone will not be using the Snapdragon 865 plus chipset. Last year, the 7T/7T Pro did use the Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, however it seems like due to the pandemic OnePlus is looking to cut costs this year and just offer a slight design change instead of any significant upgrade when it comes to the specifications.  
    OnePlus has already confirmed other features that will be there on the OnePlus 8T such as a 120Hz refresh-rate display alongside 65W fast-charging that will use a dual-battery system. Having said that, the OnPlus 8T won’t be offering wireless charging as it will remain exclusive to the OnePlus 8 Pro.

    While the leak may show something, we do recommend taking this piece of information with a pinch of salt. The Geekbench 4 listing could be of a model with a lower RAM configuration or could be false altogether. We’ve also seen new OnePlus phones lacking optimisation at launch and this test may just be a test to see the performance levels on the upcoming phone. Having said that, the phone will launch on October 17th and it shouldn’t be long before we know how the phone actually performs in real-life testing.

    The match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals felt like an easy win for the former with a solid performance by the franchise on both ends of the pitch backed by Shubman GIll’s 47-run innings and Shivam Mavi’s 20-2 bowling spell in four overs.

    RR player Robin Uthappa, however, seems to have created a bit of a stir on social media after the cameraman caught him using his savila on the skin of the ball in the first half of the game in the match-up against his former team.

    Given the circumstances in which the 2020 season of the Indian Premier League has been set up and the coronavirus pandemic still the biggest reason of concern for the people from all over the world, the common norm of using one’s saliva on the ball to bring shine to it has been banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to keep the highly contagious virus from spreading among the players as well.

    — Khaleej Times (@khaleejtimes) June 9, 2020
    Judging by the way Uthappa was openly using the spit on the ball in front of anyone and not trying to hide it as if it was illegal, it became evident that Uthappa had no malintentions in mind and had simply forgotten about the rule amidst whatever was happening during the match.
    So what kind of punishment were Uthappa and Rajasthan Royals expected to go through for breaking the rule?
    In June 2020, the ICC issued a statement related to the ban, explaining the repercussions of breaking the rule: 
    “Players will not be permitted to use saliva to shine the ball. If a player does apply saliva to the ball, the umpires will manage the situation with some leniency during an initial period of adjustment for the players, but subsequent instances will result in the team receiving a warning.”#IPL2020 #RRvsKKR

    — Times Now Sports (@timesnowsports) September 30, 2020
    Keeping in mind that the players who have been using their savila on the ball all their life as cricketers will tend to forget not doing so in the middle of the field, at least in the initial days of the “new way of playing the game”. 
    Therefore, they have kept a provision for issuing two warnings to a team per innings and if the team doesn’t adhere to the rule, five runs will be added to the opposing team’s total as penalty.
    Is the punishment severe enough?

    — बेरोज़गार (@ItsRaviMaurya) September 30, 2020
    While issuing warnings to players at first makes sense, two per innings seems to be a bit too lenient. Once the first warning is issued, the players should be made aware of the fact that this will not be tolerated anymore.
    On the other hand, a five-run penalty after the two warnings also feels a bit too sparing. Considering the seriousness of the potential outcome of using saliva on the ball, a minimalistic fine, after being repeatedly told not to do it, becomes too forbearing.
    What happens if a bowler applies saliva to the ball out of habit?
    What are the hygiene measures in place?
    Why an increase in the number of reviews?

    Your questions pertaining to altered playing conditions are answered here ⬇️https://t.co/B61p1z4slZ pic.twitter.com/R6Fhx7Wr48
    — ICC (@ICC) July 8, 2020
    If a player continues to use saliva on the ball, despite the repeated instructions, they should not only face a monetary fine but also be commanded to leave the field immediately.
    Various ICC officials have often complained about not being taken seriously in the past. Based on the easy-going rules they have established around such a danger offence at the moment, there is no reason why the players will go out of their way to adhere to the instructions.
    If the ever-evolving game of cricket needs to make some crucial changes on the field, the bylaws must become more stringent and exacting.

    For quite a while, the India launch date for the Pixel 4a seemed like a mystery. However, we now have confirmation from Google itself. The phone is going to launch in India on October 17th as confirmed by Google’s ‘MadeByGoogle’ Twitter handle. The phone launched in other regions in August, however for some reason it was delayed in India. But thankfully, we finally have clarity about when the Pixel 4a will come to India. 
    Hi Christopher, we appreciate your interest in our Pixel devices. The Pixel 4a launches in India on October 17th and will be available for purchase on Flipkart. To learn more about the Pixel 4a check out the official blog post here: https://t.co/EOgWtQ7NMg Appreciate it.

    Made by Google Tweeted out the launch date of the phone after a user sent the handle a query about the phone’s launch date in India. The tweet also confirmed that the phone will be available via Flipkart much like previous Pixel smartphones that have launched in the country.

    The Pixel 4a is Google’s budget-friendly smartphone that was expected to launch earlier this year. However, due to the pandemic, the launch was delayed. For starters, the phone has a 5.81-inch FHD+ OLED display and has an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. It comes with up to 12 GB Of storage and has a 3,410 mAh battery. The battery can be charged using 18W PD chargers and uses the PD2.0 standard.

    Pixel smartphones are known for having great photography capabilities and the 4a uses the same 12.2MP rear camera as the Pixel 4. The camera is capable of both OIS and EIS and supports HDR+ photography for dual-exposure control. The Pixel 4a will also take advantage of Google’s computational photography capabilities as well as other features such as Night Sight with astrophotography. Other features such as Portrait Mode and Top Shot are also making a return. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s 730G chipset and has already received the Android 11 update.  

    We should know more about the launch price of the Pixel 4a closer to the launch event and as usual, we will be reviewing the phone once we get our hands on the device.

    The beard maketh a man but it does not mean everyone wants to grow a long beard.

    For the ones who take care, refine and style their beard, it is a literal extension of their personality. So if you are a distinguished, to-the-point kind of man, short beard styles will enhance your look.
    __ECOMLOOKS__1654__
    __ECOMLOOKS__1655__
    The Shape Of Your FaceSome short beard styles can fit more aptly on your face shape. If you’re confused about the shape of your face, allow us to help you with that.
    For square face shape - Measurements of all sides are fairly similar and the angle of the jaw is sharp. 
    For round face shape - Face length and cheekbones are similar in size. Forehead, cheekbones and jawline have a similar measurement. The jaw's angle is less defined. 
    For rectangle face shape - The measurement of face length is greater. Forehead, cheekbones and jawline are in similar size.  
    For oval face shape - Face length is greater than the width of the cheekbones, the forehead is greater than the jawline and the jaw is rounded.
    Your Facial Features Your jaw, your cheekbones and the length of your face are significant when deciding a beard style. It is rather more important for short beard styles as they will not hide your facial features. 
    Your Skin TypeShort beards are easy-to-maintain but if you have sensitive skin, you may experience irritation or discomfort while shaving and trimming your beard every week. 
    Short Beard Styles For Every Face ShapeThe ultimate goal of a badass beard is to add contrast to the face and to achieve a well-balanced look. But sometimes, even the most on-trend, Bollywood-inspired beard style fails to do so. It could be because your face shape needs a better companion. So here’s the simplest way to match your face shape with a beard style.
    __ECOMLOOKS__1642__
    __ECOMLOOKS__1645__
    __ECOMLOOKS__1648__
    __ECOMLOOKS__1649__
    How To Maintain A Short Beard?Okay, so short beard styles may not be as complicated as the longer ones but they still need to be groomed from time to time. First up, let your beard grow for a week or two to check its growth pattern.

    After a lot of leaks and rumours, Google finally decided to launch the Pixel 5 last night at an online event. The company also launched a bunch of other products yesterday, but we'll be checking out the two phones in this particular story. Let's get started.
    Pixel 5Pixel 5 is Google's main phone this year. It's not a high-end phone, at least in terms of the specs, but it seems like a really good device for the price. It sports a 6-inch FHD+ OLED 90Hz Smooth Display on the front with very minimal bezels.
    This is, in fact, one of the very few phones that have no chin at the bottom of the display, so that's something to be excited about. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon 765G processor with 8GB of RAM. This, as you probably already guessed, isn't a flagship processor, but it supports 5G. We're not too happy about the fact that the Pixel 5 only has 128GB storage, even on the top-of-the-line variant.
    Meet the new Google Pixel phones

    From our latest AI and Assistant features, to the biggest ever battery we’ve put in a Pixel, to industry-leading camera features, the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 provide more help at a more helpful price. https://t.co/Gioak2AGE6
    — Google (@Google) September 30, 2020
    In terms of the camera, we're looking at a dual-camera setup at the back which includes a 12.2MP sensor and a 16MP wide-angle lens. The 12.2MP primary sensor is the same one that's used in Pixel 3. On the front, the Pixel 5 has an 8MP sensor for selfies.
    Pixel 5 also has a 4,080 mAh battery and it also supports wireless charging. You can also charge other accessories with the help of the Pixel 5 because it also supports reverse wireless charging. The Pixel 5 runs of Android 11 out of the box, although it's not the first phone to do that.
    Pixel 4a 5GThe Pixel 4a 5G is more or less similar to the Pixel 5. The Pixel 4a 5G sports a 6.2-inch panel instead of the 6-inch panel on the Pixel 5, and it's also capped at 60Hz, unlike the Pixel 5's 90Hz panel. In terms of the specs, the Pixel 4a 5G is also powered by the same processor, however, it only has 6GB RAM. It also packs a smaller battery, coming in at 3,080 mAh.
    But besides this, both phones are the same. You get 5G support, the same set of cameras, and even the same design. The display on the 4a 5G has a chin at the bottom though.
    © Google
    Pricing & AvailabilityPixel 5 will be available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and Australia, and it'll cost $699. You'll be able to pick one up in these countries starting October 15. The Pixel 4a 5G will be available for $499, which isn't too bad. In India, Google has confirmed that it's only going to launch the Pixel 4a. No, not even the 5G variant. In fact, we don't even know how much the Pixel 4a will cost, so let's just wait.

    Google has announced the Pixel 5 and the Pixel 4a 5G during its Launch Night In hardware event. There were absolutely no hardware surprises as we pretty much knew everything beforehand, thanks to all the leaks and the rumours. But if there's one thing that we like from the array of new features, then it is probably the new 'Hold For Me' feature.
    As you've probably already guessed it by the title, this new feature takes advantage of the Google Assistant and the 'Duplex' feature that was introduced earlier. In this case, the Google Assistant will essentially monitor your phone calls after you've been placed on hold.
    A water-resistant phone that creates quite a splash. The new #Pixel5 has 8 GB of RAM and wireless and reverse wireless charging to use with your Pixel Stand or to charge your Pixel Buds on-the-go.https://t.co/YYzCyiRlDR #LaunchNightIn pic.twitter.com/JB9NVMeWvK
    — Made By Google (@madebygoogle) September 30, 2020
    And as soon as there's a person on the other side ready to talk to you again, Google Assistant will then alert you about the same. This is an incredible feature and we see how this can be super useful for everyone in many ways.
    We can already see this working in our favour when we're stuck on those long waiting lines, having to listen to the hold music for a long time. Well, this new feature is made just for that. This feature will be available to the Pixel 5 and the Pixel 4a 5G users first, but it looks like other Pixel phones will also get it in the future.
    © Google
    That being said, we're not entirely sure if/when this feature will come to India. It's limited to the US now, so let's hope for the best.
