    In the tug of war for entertainment, smart TVs beat the 6-inch smartphones every single time. Well, OnePlus realised that early on and rolled out premium smart TVs â the Netflix-enabled Q1 series, last year. However, our only itch was its starting price, a whopping Rs 69, 000, truly fit for the premium category.
    News is, the brand is now all set to turn that around with 3 affordable smart TVs launching on the 2nd of July 2020.
    Latest OnePlus TVs Will Be Thinner Than OnePlus 8 Starting at just Rs 20,000, the upcoming range of OnePlus TVs is touted to be heavy on specs, easy on the price. This series will include 3 smart TVs of 32-inch, 43-inch and 55-inch screen sizes, respectively.

    The TVs are likely to come with a thin-bezel form factor, an innovative Gamma engine for better picture quality, and an exceptional DCI-P3 93% colour gamut â simply the most top-notch display of colour out there.

    A futuristic amalgamation of design and technology, the OnePlus Smart TVs will come in at just 6.9mm â yes, thatâs thinner than the OnePlus 8. 

    We have to agree that the brand has risen in these testing times and has delivered a technological masterpiece.
    An Exclusive Live Stream EventWhile the brand has given us a sneak-peek into some features, thereâs a lot that still remains under wraps. 
    Following the codes of the new normal, OnePlus has scheduled a digital-only launch for its latest range of smart TVs on July 2 at 7 pm on YouTube. This dedicated live stream event will unveil the stand-out features, definite prices and other details about this range.


    âIn 2019, the OnePlus TV Q Series was the first step towards the OnePlus ecosystem. In 2020, we hope to build on the momentum and start strategically diversifying into new product categories and new price points. The new OnePlus TVs are a step towards unlocking the full potential of technology in even more homesâ, OnePlus CEO, Pete Lau said.
    Quite naturally, the OnePlus community and first-time buyers have countless questions about the upcoming series. The simple answer being - tune into the live stream event for more details and big-ticket announcements.
    You can pre-book the OnePlus Smart TVs on Amazon now.

    âYouTube VS TikTokâ war seems to have finally ended now as the government has decided to ban the latter. Thereâs a lot of uproar on the social media about the big decision and the ones who were against the TikTok content are now at peace. TikTok has been removed from the App Store and Google Play in India. The app was banned on Monday night on an order by the Ministry of Information and Technology, which also banned 58 other popular apps from China.

    If you all remember that Carry Minati earlier had shared a video wherein he was roasting TikTokers for the quality of their videos which was later deleted. After the TikTok ban, people on Twitter think Carry Minati would actually be the happiest as he always pointed out the flaws in the TikTok content as it lacked creativity.

    â Praveen Vikal (@praveen_vikal) June 30, 2020"The Government of India has issued an interim order for the blocking of 59 apps, including TikTok, and we are in the process of complying with it. We have been invited to meet with concerned government stakeholders for an opportunity to respond and submit clarifications. TikTok continues to comply with all data privacy and security requirements under Indian law and has not shared any information about our users in India with any foreign government, including the Chinese Government. Further, if we are requested to in the future we would not do so. We place the highest importance on user privacy and integrity,â Nikhil Gandhi, head of TikTok, India said.
    TikTok had nearly 119 million active users in India and was among the top 10 apps on Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
    What do you think future hold for us?

    If you see around, thereâs this angst around in people wherein they are pointing out whatâs happening in the film industry. Not long ago, Abhay Deol sparked controversy when he opened about how he felt neglected post Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and pointed to the fact how he was sidelined by Bollywood lobby culture and Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif were promoted as the main lead. Abhay said he had issues with the tag of the âsupporting actorâ for him and Farhan Akhtar.

    In an interaction with India Today, Farhan Akhtar said he was okay with the nominations of the awards and he didnât join the film industry to be featured on magazine covers or treated like a star. âYou are constantly hearing about some rat race and everybody is fighting each other to some kind of spot which does not exist. I mean the fact is you have to believe in yourself, you have to work sincerely, work hard, how many magazines covers you will do, whether you came on the front page of a magazine, or the front page of a newspaper,â he said.
     
    He added, âIf that is your larger interest, I really feel that you are in the wrong profession. Youâre not here for that. Have you come here to be an actor, director, singer, music composer, or have you come here to be a reality star? Have you come here to be just, I donât know, a star?â

    For the unversed, in his Instagram post a few days ago, Abhay wrote, âI would like to mention that almost all the award functions demoted me and Farhan from main leads and nominated us as "supporting actors". Hrithik and Katrina were nominated as "actors in a leading role". So by the industry's own logic, this was a film about a man and a woman falling in love, with the man supported by his friends for whatever decisions he takes.â

    Thereâs a lot that has been said about the Bollywood lobby culture. While Abhay chose to call out, Farhan has taken a rather different approach to see things and focusing on his art.

    The UP government under Yogi Adityanath has launched a contest that encourages people to come up with creative suggestions on how to prevent further spread of COVID-19. The advertisements were published by the state health department in most newspapers in the state
    The advertisement states that there are two categories. In the first type, they call for suggestions in 150 words for ideas on breaking the coronavirus transmission chain. The Yogi government is then going to choose ten of the most âoriginal and innovativeâ submissions and they shall be rewarded a cash prize of Rs 10,000 each.
    © Reuters
    For the second category, participants are asked to submit a one-minute short-form video with possible ideas like, COVID-19 prevention tips, safety practices to beat the virus, measures to keep physical and mental health in check, and inspiring stories of patients who have successfully recovered from the virus. The best 100 entries in this category will be awarded Rs 10,000 each.

    The criteria to judge the videos have also been mentioned. This includes the presentation, content, entertainment value, and technical quality of the submissions. To submit an email ID and a WhatsApp number has been provided. The last date for sending entries is 8 July and the names of the winners will be declared on 15 July.
    © Reuters
    Amit Mohan Prasad, UPâs principal health secretary has said that the main motive behind this contest is to defeat the coronavirus pandemic with the help of the citizens. âWe are encouraging people to make videos about coronavirus. One-minute videos have been invited from the public on various issues, including prevention for coronavirus, awareness, and ways to break the chain of infection. Selected entries will be given a cash award,â he said.

    He insists that the contest submissions will be considered seriously for further action, âWe will work further on the basis of fresh ideas received from the public,â he added.
    © Reuters
    The opposition was rather critical of the move. Congress MLC Deepak Singh said the state government should be focused on measures that would give tangible results instead. âIf it is indeed concerned about the welfare of the people, then they should be informed about correct figures of coronavirus cases and more testing should be done,â he said.

    Singh added that the government processes with regard to COVID-19 needed to be streamlined. âIt is a government led by people who believe in crazy ideas like clapping and banging plates to beat COVID. They have absolutely no idea about how to tackle this pandemic,â he added.
    As of Tuesday, Uttar Pradesh has a total of 22,828 COVID-19 cases, which includes 672 deaths. While the nation stands at a grand total of 5,67,000 cases and 16,893 deaths.

    Pro-wrestling may be fake but the injuries are real. I have been talking about some of the most dangerous incidents that WWE stars have suffered through in the past while performing inside the ring for quite some time now.
    Be it Kane damaging Shawn Michaelsâ skull, permanently making him cross-eyed, or Kurt Angle breaking his neck several times during his career as a âperformerâ resulting in lack of blood flow to his arms and finally atrophying, these are some serious issues and they are very real. 

    Today, letâs talk about someone very special. Someone who managed to be the face of the company for over a decade and someone who has been one of the greatest influences to the upcoming generation of wrestling fans, even after moving away from the business - John Cena. 
    There is no denying the fact that Cena looks like a tank. His physique is a testament to the kind of hard work and discipline he has inculcated in his life and chooses to follow no matter what life throws his way. 

    Also Read: WWE Star Sheamus Tries John Cena's Workout For A Day, Ends Up Flat On The Floor 
    But what a lot of people do not realise is his willingness to have a great show and make people fall in love with WWE, no matter what. For this, he is ready to go the distance, he is ready to suffer through pain, he is ready to meet any sort of health-related trouble that he might face in the future if it means that the fans are cheering (or booing) and that they go home satisfied.
    During a 2007 match against Mr. Kennedy, Cena went for a typical arm-drag move, something he does all the time. He tossed his opponent over his right shoulder and immediately knew that something was wrong. 

    According to reports, John Cena tore his right pectoral tendon in a flash and was in excruciating pain. He moved away from Kennedy and to the other corner of the ring, looked at his arm in disbelief, tried to shake off the pain but he couldnât. 
    He bent down for a second only to stand back straight up steady his right arm and fought through the entire match with his left arm. He tried to carry out his signature moves just like heâd do in any other fight but you could see his expression change after every bump he took.

    â Today In WWE History (@TodayInWWEHist1) October 1, 2017
    Cena and Kennedy had to improvise after the injury. The former trapped the latter in his iconic STFU submission manoeuvre and the match got over in a hurry. 
    But it was decided well in advance that once Cena had won the match, Randy Orton would enter the ring and deliver some hard blows to him as a part of a storyline.

    You could see Cena asking the referee whether âRandy was comingâ or not and when the referee nodded, he was ready to put his body through some more pain.

    And like clockwork, Orton slithered into the ring, caught Cena with an RKO followed by a shot by the steel steps and another RKO on the announcersâ table. Keep in mind that even though the moves and shots were fake, Cena had to crash to the floor with a certain whiplash impact which could not have been good for the torn tendon.
    Next week, Vince McMahon came to the show himself to make the announcement and used the injury to further the storyline between Cena and Orton. 

    According to the doctors, Cena was supposed to stay out of action for about a year. He came back within four months and the fans lost it too.

    Just in the last couple of months, we've seen some of the worst crimes humans have committed against defenceless animals and those were just the few that someone managed to document. There are probably so many cases that we never even get to know about and the poor animal never gets the justice it deserves. Adding to the long list of reasons why humans are actually trash, the new incident to cause widespread outrage - and rightly so - is the hanging of a monkey.
    A video of the horrific incident was being shared online and it shows the monkey struggling while hanging from a noose. A visual like that is enough to make everyone recoil and question if there's actually any humanity left in the world. The answer to that last question is no, from what I've seen.
    #Heartbreaking: These visuals may annoy you. This incident proves again that we are (humans) very dangerous and cruel than all on the planet. A man at #Vensupalam village, #khammam in #Telangana, brutally killed a monkey. Hours after being tortured, the monkey leaves its breath. pic.twitter.com/E3YM7YDj4s
    â Balakrishna - The Journalist (@Balakrishna096) June 28, 2020
    This is intentionally cruel, they're torturing the monkey. Reportedly, this incident took place on June 26 in Telangana's Khammam when a troop of monkeys entered the area and the people there decided to set an example and teach them a lesson. This was apparently done as a way to send a message to all the other monkeys and scare them. 
    Talking to PTI, Sathupalli Forest Range Officer A Venkateswarlu said, "The perpetrators, who admitted their guilt, are being booked under the Wildlife Protection Act. The accused wanted to scare other monkeys by hanging the one which was caught. We found the carcass in a decomposed state. The accused are being booked under the Wildlife Protection Act."
    At least the poor monkey will get some justice but we all know, we've all seen that nothing is going to change. So many people commit such heinous crimes against animals because they know there will be no consequences.

    India has a long and rich tradition of poems and lyrics. It wonât be farfetched to say that we have produced some of the best lyricists ever to have walked the earth. Be it Javed Akhtar, or Gulzar sa'ab, or even someone like Sahir Ludhianvi, we have had so many great lyricists, with such a wide body of work, that it is actually impossible to keep a track of their greatness.
    © BCCL
    Still, why not make an attempt at it? We have jotted down the names of a few lyricists who have produced an amazing body of work over the years, and whoâre still going at it. As a result, we cannot factor in the greats like Anand Bakshi, or Majrooh Sultanpuri.
    © Filmfare
    Now, we have to address the fact, that there have been blotches every now and then, especially with the current crop of âartistsâ who think that they have revolutionized Indian music with their music and cringe-worthy lyrics. 
    © Twitter/its_badshah
    But by and large, we have a rich and colourful history. Here are a few lyricists that have contributed immensely to that history.

    Javed Akhtar (About 1200 Songs) © BCCL
    Javed Akhtar has been writing since the 70s, an era where scriptwriters werenât given credit in a film, so naturally, lyricists were far down the pecking order. Only when a really notable poet would write lyrics for a song, would it get publicised. In a career spanning almost 5 decades, Javed Akhtar has given us some seriously amazing lyrics to some of the most iconic songs. We reckon that he has probably given us more than 1500, or perhaps even 1800 songs. However, because giving credit to struggling writers wasnât even a consideration back in the 70s, we cannot say for sure.

    Shitala Pandey aka Sameer Anjaan(Over 4000 Songs) © Wiki Commons
    If you grew up during the 90s and could read, anytime you picked a cassette case, and read the name of the lyricist of any given sing, you would always find the line âLyrics By Sameer.â So much so, that there was a joke which said that Sameerâs first name was âLyrics By.â Lame jokes aside, Sameer Anjaan has the most credits as a lyricist to his name. As of 2015, he has written songs for over 650 Bollywood films, and a total of 3500 songs. As of 2019, he has over 4000 songs to his credit.

    Gulzar (Over 1000 Songs) © BCCL
    Gulzar saâab has a way with words that is simply mesmerising. You really cannot explain effect his lyrics have, they are something that you just have to experience. He has been writing lyrics since 1961. That is a career spanning nearly 60 years. A part of the Progressive Writers Association, Gulzar saâab has always chosen quality over quantity, and weâre really glad for that. Till date, he has written songs for well over 200 films

    Prasoon Joshi (Circa 400 Songs) © Wiki Commons
    The man who has given us some of the most iconic advertisements in India, and who now heads the CBFC, Prasoon Joshi had a rather short career as a proper lyricist. We genuinely wish that after his stint as the chairperson for CBFC, he starts writing lyrics again. In spite of being immensely popular, and very much in demand, Prasoon Joshi was very selective with his projects. In total, he has written songs for about 50 films in total.

    Irshad Kamil (Over 450 Songs) © IMDb
    Next, we have Irshad Kamil. Irshad is a poet who has been writing lyrics since 2004. Of the current lot of lyricists, he is one of the most in-demand lyricists. He started his Bollywood career with Sudhir Mishraâs Chameli so that should tell you enough, just how capable he has been. 

    Amitabh Bhattacharya (Over 300 Songs) © IMDb
    And finally, we have Amitabh Bhattacharya, one of the most promising lyricists that we have today. Although he wanted to be known mainly as a singer, it was his lyrics that actually made the mark for him. He remains one of the most celebrated lyricists ever and has also won the prestigious National Film Awards for his work. Because he started out in 2008 and has mostly worked with a very close circle, the number of songs he has written is as high. However, weâre pretty sure that weâre just seeing him getting started.

    The world of cricket has seen many greats come and go, but there will never be another Rahul Dravid, for he exhibited greatness at its most humble and redefined discipline in the sport. Dignified, fair-minded, eloquent, gentle, yet tougher than anyone will ever know. A selfless cricketer and down-to-earth human being who always did and said the right things; the kind of man you'd want your son to grow into.
    A cricketer who mastered all the textbook shots to stand firm against some of the best bowling attacks, Dravid will always be remembered for his temperament and patience at the crease which saw him frustrate the opposition by batting for countless hours. And, the fact that the right-hander slammed a staggering 24,208 runs including 48 hundreds and 146 fifties across formats, shows how clinical he was with the willow.
    © Reuters
    While Dravid's batting talents surely make him one of the greatest to have ever graced the gentleman's game, it also overshadows his other talents on the field. With the memories of his iconic innings still afresh in the minds of cricket pundits and fans, Dravid, the fielder, still finds himself lurking in the shadows, rarely getting his due.

    Outstanding catcher Rahul Dravid pic.twitter.com/DnLQhKlHPV
    â Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) June 30, 2020
    But, on 30th June, it was Dravid and his fielding abilities that rightly became the talk of the town after a heartfelt tribute from Harbhajan Singh went on social media. 
    Taking to Twitter, the Indian spinner shared a video compilation of Dravid's top catches, celebrating his efforts as a fielder. "Outstanding catcher Rahul Dravid," Bhajji captioned the video.
    Apart from scoring 13,288 runs in 164 Tests, Dravid also has a whopping 210 catches to his name in the longest version of the game. His tally of catches remains the most by a player in the history of Test cricket. Apart from Dravid, only two more players, Mahela Jayawardene (205) and Jacques Kallis (200), have taken 200 or more catches in Test cricket.
    Agree 100%. Wonderful hands. I also kept telling Jam to field at short-leg....but he wouldnât come in. Too modest to admit that he was indeed the best in the playing XI at that position https://t.co/9OLW6lsjMQ

    In a surprising move, the Indian government decided to ban the use of 59 Chinese apps in India last night. The list included some really popular apps like TikTok, Cam Scanner, and more. Luckily, there are a ton of alternatives out there for almost every app on the list.
    And if there wasn't an alternative, a lot of Indian developers decided to step up their game overnight to come up with something new. On the same lines, there's now a new desi TikTok rival called 'Chingari'.
    © MensXP/Karthik Iyer
    Yes, the app is indeed called 'Chingari' and it's essentially a short video platform just like TikTok. Pretty sure most of you guys are hearing this name for the first time. Well, that's because this app was nowhere to be seen on the radar until yesterday.

    Now, it has over 1 million downloads on the Google Play Store. It literally registered 100,000 downloads per hour, which is absolutely insane. This was revealed by Sumit Ghosh, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Chingari app on Twitter.
    100,000 downloads per hour, guys please be patient! we are working on the servers and getting things up and running asap! pic.twitter.com/h3lGCbe4yl
    â Sumit Ghosh (@sumitgh85) June 29, 2020
    So, what do we know about this app? Sadly, there's not a lot that we know, so far, because the app was completely unusable at the time of writing this story. 
    We downloaded the app to check it out, but we were mostly stuck on a white loading screen. We think the devs were not ready for an overwhelming response overnight.
    While most people are on the lookout for a TikTok alternative in India, we're not sure if 'Chingari' is the right one to go for. It seems like a relatively new app made to attract users just in time for the Chinese ban. 
    We suggest you wait a bit longer till we get some more clarity on the app.

    There is nothing like a big fat Indian wedding. Desi shaadis are nothing short of an extravaganza in the garb of a union between two individuals and their families. A typical Indian wedding, for the most part, will have these following elements.
    Firstly, there would be a huge gathering! Expect at least three to four generations of family members to be in attendance apart from a whole bunch of excited friends and awkward colleagues. Next, desi weddings are loud AF all with live bands, fireworks and crackers as well as a DJ who seems to have sworn off his soul to fufa ji and plays just the kind of music which pushes all his buttons.
    © Outcry Entertainment
    This is followed by a fashion walk of sorts, where every attendee is trying to outdo the others, including the bride and the groom, when it comes dressing in glorious attires and showing off all the gold and precious gems they own. Then of course, there is THE feast where the norm is to have a three-course buffet meal which caters to every kind of palate, although taya ji will still find something to complain about in the menu.

    © Outcry Entertainment
    Thatâs a typical Indian wedding for you on a regular day. But, things have been anything but regular of late and all of this is now a thing of the past. At least for 2020, and if we are too unlucky, things might be no different in 2021 as well.

    With the coronavirus wreaking havoc in India, as well as globally, a lot has changed. But the one thing that will always remain a part of our lives are weddings. But that too had to undergo many modifications in order to make the whole affair suitable for the current circumstances. And no we arenât talking about the court or video call weddings, but a true blue desi wedding.
    © Outcry Entertainment
    With government restrictions on hosting weddings, many couples have either postponed their weddings or have been forced to get married under restrictions which call for physical distancing and a limited guestlist of not more than 50 people at the ceremony.

    A recent wedding in Mumbai gave us a glimpse of what big fat Indians weddings will probably look like in the times of coronavirus. Organised by a luxury wedding planning company named Outcry Entertainment, they managed to bring the coupleâs wishes to life without flouting any government rules.

    Hosted at The LaLit, Mumbai, the organizers ensured the safety of the guests without hampering the 'larger than life' aspect of the wedding. Ample safety measures were put in place and hygiene standards were maintained at the venue at all times. Every prop and surface was sanitized

    Talking about his wedding, groom Saurabh Shah said, âAiming at zero compromise at fun, wedding feels and excitement, they made this event happen with complete Covid safety norms. I got a mask that matched my sherwani with a shawl and a turban.â

    "This also looks like a beginning towards a new way of doing events and adapting to scenarios that no one has experienced before. Peopleâs wishes and need to move on with their life was a matter of great concern for me as Wedding Planner. Style statement and the luxurious feel of the weddings will never bow down to restrictions imposed because of Covid," believes Saurabh Chaudhary, Director of Outcry Entertainment.

    Given the current scenario and looking at the pictures from the event we agree with Saurabh that this might indeed be the new normal for Big Fat Indian weddings in the times to come. Itâs true that this looks nothing like the usual stuff and itâs all new, but there is no denying that this is the need of the hour and the best we can expect in a situation like ours.

    Last night, the government decided to take an unprecedented step and ban the use of 59 Chinese apps in the country. The list includes some really popular apps like TikTok, Cam Scanner, Mi Community app, and a whole lot more. 

    While a lot of Indians were surprised by this decision, it's safe to say that it was received well by most people on the internet.
    A lot of supporters who were against the use of Chinese apps and products are extremely excited. Twitter also witnessed some of the funniest memes from these supporters yesterday.
    For some reason, people seem to be really happy about TikTok getting banned, in particular.

    â Subodh Shridhar Naikade (@sub_naikade) June 29, 2020While most people are happy about the removal of TikTok from both the Google Play Store and App Store, there are some mixed reactions for other utility apps like Cam Scanner. 
    Anyway, a majority of these apps have now been removed from the marketplace and it remains to be seen for how long this ban is in place. For now, our best bet is to find alternatives that we can use. Stay tuned for more on that.

    Sushant Singh Rajputâs tragic demise has made people think about how people who donât hail from the filmy background or are less influential are always being shunned by the Bollywoodâs bigwigs. His demise has questioned the unethical ways that Bollywood has been swearing by all these years. Now, people are intolerant towards any sort of inequality and injustice in the industry. Why am I talking about all this? So yesterday, Disney HotStar decided to hold this press conference to announce all the upcoming movies. They decided to have all the bigwigs for the conference or call the famous ones for that matter and snubbed actors like Kunal Kemmu and Vidyut Jammwal. The online event was hosted by actor Varun Dhawan who spoke to Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, and Alia Bhatt. 
    BIGGG ANNOUNCEMENT... #AkshayKumar, #AjayDevgn, #AbhishekBachchan, #AliaBhatt, #VarunDhawan will be LIVE on #DisneyPlusHotstar with #UdayShankar [President, The Walt Disney Co and Chairman, Star & Disney India]... Mark your calendars: TOMORROW, Monday, 29 June 2020, 4.30 pm. pic.twitter.com/5qUBbVfMiJ
    â taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) June 28, 2020
    The actors have expressed their disappointment over this by tweeting it out. Kunal Kemmu posted a cryptic message saying that if given an equal opportunity, they too can prove their mettle. He wrote, âIzzat aur pyaar maanga nahi kamaya jaata hai. Koi na de toh usse hum chhote nahi hote. Bas maidaan khelne ke liye barabar de do chhalaang hum bhi oonchi laga sakte hai.â

    â kunal kemmu (@kunalkemmu) June 29, 2020
    Vidyut pointed out the fact that he wasnât even given any sort of intimation about the press conference. He wrote, âA BIG announcement for sure!! 7 films scheduled for release but only 5 are deemed worthy of representation. 2 films, receive no invitation or intimation. Itâs a long road ahead. THE CYCLE CONTINUES.â

    After they called out the hypocrisy, people have come out in support of the stars and are targeting Bollywood mafia for continuing the injustice.
    This is not done.
    Shame on you.@DisneyplusHSVIP @DisneyPlusHS #DisneyPlusHotstar https://t.co/Hd3hAjW21I
    â BroPati (@Bro_pati) June 30, 2020That's pathetic.. it's high time that such things and biases need to stop. How pathetic #DisneyPlusHotstar

    â Rahul Singh (@iamrahulkrsingh) June 30, 2020Another example of "Favouritism and Partiality" has been seen in #Bollywood when none of the actors of 'Khuda-Hafiz' & 'Lootcase' was even invited in #DisneyPlusHotstar live event.

    â Bhashkar Biswas ⪠(@biswas_bhashkar) June 30, 2020@PanoramaMovies Why wasn't @VidyutJammwal invite for the launch of "Khuda Hafiz". You all are bloody vultures. You all keep on shouting about talent talent but what are you doing with the real one. #DisneyPlusHotstar
    â Puja Mondal (@puja_piku) June 30, 2020shame on Bollywood biggie mafia. we should boycott them. just boycott don't think too much.#AmitShahDoJusticeForSSR
    â Voice 2 (Justice for SSR) (@gobinda_msd_kr) June 29, 2020Even after all the buzz around nepotism killing talent and talented people, #DisneyplusHotstar dint hear the noise. Its shameful how only 2 people where left out from the group of people invited for promoting the movies, just because they are less influential than the others.
    â Amrita Misri (@MisriAmrita) June 30, 2020There is this rage in people as they are now intolerant towards all sorts of injustices after what happened to Sushant Singh Rajput. Itâs truly unfair to leave out a few actors because even they deserved a platform to talk about their future ventures as they too have worked hard for their respective projects. Now, we have two actors calling out the hypocrisy of Bollywood mafia and that shows that itâs high time we understand whatâs wrong.

    We are almost 3 months into this work from home life, and if you thought youâd be going back to the office in June, you couldnât have been more wrong! With more and more private companies opting to keep their workforce at home and safe from the ongoing health crisis, working from home has become the new normal in 2020. So unpack those office bags and get comfortable at home, because you are in for a long ride.
    Finding The Work-Home Life BalanceWorking from home isnât easy, and juggling your housework and office work is an enormous task. Every time you sit down with your laptop, the used utensils in the sink remind you of all the labour you need to put in. Besides the housework, your family life can also take a toll if you are available for work calls 24X7.
    With work from home becoming the new normal, you need to define your office working hours and stick to them. For example, 'No work calls post 6 pm'. Evenings are for some exclusive âme-timeâ and âfamily timeâ. Donât take extra work over the weekends just because you are available. Set into a work-life balance, and stick to it.

    Set Up Your Office Space At HomeGet off the bed and find a work desk thatâs comfortable and clean. The first step to a work from home life is setting up your workspace in the house. A private corner where no one will disturb you and you wonât be tempted to take a quick nap between your Zoom calls. You can even turn a spare room into your office.
    Get An All-Rounder Laptop & Necessary AccessoriesWith no IT operations handy, it is best to upgrade your laptop and internet with the best in the field. And HP India is ready to help you out with both your concerns! HP India has just launched its first affordable 4G LTE powered laptop, the Personal Internet PC which comes with its very own sim slot and card. The 4G LTE premium feature was otherwise available in laptops costing over one lakh. However, HP wanted to make this feature much more affordable to all. The Personal Internet PC with 4G LTE starts at the price of only Rs 44,999. The best part, thanks to the 4G feature, you no longer have to be dependent on the shared family WiFi that has a slow bandwidth. Powered by Windows 10 home and 10th Gen Intel Core i3/i5, it gives you a smooth user interface. With 24x7 connectivity and uninterrupted data services, it makes the never-ending virtual conference calls a lot more tolerable. It is a perfect upgrade if you've moved your office home amidst this public health crisis. 
    HP India
    Thatâs not all; your home office also requires some important functioning accessories. From bluetooth headphones to a steady mouse to a printer, make a list of all your work requirements and look up the best offers on the HP India website.

    It seems like 2020 has even more bad news in store for us, as a new strain of flu that has the potential to become a global pandemic has been discovered by scientists in China. The virus is being carried by pigs and can infect humans, according to scientists. 
    Researchers have expressed concern that the virus can further mutate and will easily spread from person to person, which could result in yet another global outbreak. The virus is not as big of a concern as COVID-19, however, scientists say it has all the necessary attributes required for it to mutate to infect humans and requires close monitoring. 
    © Reuters
    It possesses âall the essential hallmarks of being highly adapted to infect humansâ, said the authors, scientists at Chinese universities and Chinaâs Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The findings of the virus were posted in a journal on Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 

    It is worth to note that more than one in 10 swine workers have already been infected and tests indicate as many as 4.4% of the general population have already been exposed to the new virus. The virus has been given the name âG4â by the researchers. 
    The researchers added in their report, âIt is of concern that human infection of G4 virus will further human adaptation and increase the risk of a human pandemic,â the researchers wrote. 
    As the news broke, people on social media were clearly not happy about the new virus and shared their concerns:
