Every month, Indian Twitter seems to find something to laugh at - and with Pakistani news churning out a stream of gaffes at a regular pace, thereâs always something new to poke fun at.
This weekâs blunder came in from the countryâs national radio broadcaster Radio Pakistan, which released a weather report that made Twitter users chuckle before even finishing the first sentence.

Twitter users quickly spotted a rather alarming discrepancy in the report.
Showing a complete lack of knowledge of basic physics principles, the report referred to -4 degree centigrade as the maximum temperature and -1 degree centigrade as the minimum temperature, an error that Indians jumped up to correct, right on cue.

The report came as a response to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which has begun referring to the subdivision of Jammu and Kashmir as Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan and Muzaffarabad - the latter two considered as âillegally occupiedâ by Pakistan, according to the Indian government.
Despite the jokes, it seems like Pakistanâs education system does indeed have a lot to answer for - especially on the higher education front. According to global education publication WENR:
"In comparison with academic institutions in other Asian countries, Pakistani universities are not very well-represented in standard international university rankings. While there are six Indian institutions included among the top 500 in the current 2020 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, for instance, Quaid-i-Azam University is the only Pakistani institution featured in this group (at position 401â500). Six Pakistani institutions are among the top 1,000, with COMSATS the highest ranked (601â800)."
Seems like political messages are important even to climate scientists, but when it comes to the Indo-Pak border - perhaps they ought to stick to their books instead?

No matter what day of the week, you will find me playing games the moment I finish my work.
While most movies these days turn out to be disappointing and have predictable plots, video games, on the other hand, offer more value and entertainment than ever before.
Two years ago, I wrote a feature on how video games are already bigger than movies, today the industry has become bigger even in India.
Games have also become a better medium for storytelling than movies right now. Here are 4 reasons why I prefer playing video games over watching movies:
1. Itâs More Immersive
© CDProjektRed
Games are known for having awesome character development and plot details that are not possible in movies. Since many games can run for over 20 hours, you get enough time to experience the story.
In some games, you can even tell your own story by making key decisions or by developing a certain type of character. You can be evil in games or the good old hero trying to save the world, itâs your choice really especially in role-playing games.
In movies and TV shows, you simply watch the main character do things while in games, YOU get to be the main character and experience the story for yourself.
You can create how your character looks and what kind of clothes it can wear. You can even choose your characterâs voice and style of playing.
Sure, not all games have the best plot but there are plenty of games out there with better storylines than most movies today.
2. You Live In a Whole Different World
© Sega
When playing open-world games, you donât only get to experience great characters but an entirely different world from your own as well.
Some games feature a world with different islands, fauna and animals that you can interact with. We recently played Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the city of Midgar looks better than most cities in the world.
Similarly, if you like a fantasy setting, you can check out the world of The Witcher series. If you ever wondered what Tokyo feels and looks like, you can check out games like the Yakuza series.
There are so many different worlds to check out in games that can never be accurately represented in movies and TV shows.
3. I Donât Have To Deal With Bad Acting
© naughty Dog
Many movies feature actors that canât really act to save their lives. While iconic movies like The Godfather and other drama movies will always live-on; most movies today feature at least one bad actor that doesnât effectively suspend reality.
However, while playing games, you can easily get lost in the world, narrative and gameplay for hours. Games now feature great voice-actors that make cut-scenes believable.
Games like The Last of Us have a profound impact on players because of its great voice-acting and motion-captured cutscenes. It is also needed to point out that there are plenty of games that feature bad acting, animations and voice acting as well.
Just like movies, we have bad games too and are not immune to bad actors either.
4. Video Games are Global

Whether you play PUBG or Rainbow Six Siege, you are bound to make friends from different regions to play the game together. Thatâs the beauty of video games, it connects people with each other from all over the world which isnât necessarily true for movies and TV shows.
Games are developed all over the world and thereâs a high chance youâve played some of them. Ever played Mario or Contra? Both these games were developed in Japan.
Played PUBG recently? It was developed by BlueHole based in South Korea.

Aparshakti Khurana came into the spotlight with Dangal, and post that, there was no looking back for the actor. We have seen him in Stree, Luka Chuppi, Pati, Patni Aur Woh, and many other movies where his characters felt real and it spoke volumes about him as an actor. Well, he is not just an actor but a poet and a singer. Just like his brother Ayushmann Khurrana, he too is a man of multiple talents. He recently collaborated with Milind Gaba and King Kaazi to release the 'Dosti anthem of 2020' titled Teri Yaari. The song took social media by the storm and got thumbs from the audience.

As he was promoting his song lockdown style, I got a chance to interview him and our conversations were not limited to his recent song but we landed up discussing the current scenarios of our country.
Here are the excerpts from my interview:
First of all congratulations on your song Teri Yaari doing so well on the trends and the song has that positive vibe to it. Are you overwhelmed with the response it has been getting?
Absolutely, it has been trending on all the platforms. As an artist, you can't be happier when people start accepting your work and this was an apt time to release the song as the lockdown in on and you are missing your friends. I am really happy with the response this way.
Apar, I have been following you on Instagram and you also come up with relatable content. Be it your poetry or songs, how do you zero down on a concept?
Hmmm... I don't think I have made a conscious effort to make myself look relevant. It's like within and when you are relevant, you will come up with relevant content. I believe when you're relevant as an actor, you will be relevant in other creative aspects too. If you are not relevant, your body of work will show and I also think, you can't really plan on to be relevant.

Do you remember the last time your life was as slow as it is today? Weâve been part of the rat race since so long that we barely got time to connect even with ourselves. Today, I canât help but see a bright side of this pandemic. A side which is telling us to slow down, to reflect, to introspect, to connect with others while connecting with our own selves. Also, let's try not to panic. As the most intelligent species on earth, we definitely will find ways to tackle it, cure it and come out of it stronger, as we always have. Till then, let's remember - we are all in this together â¤A post shared by (@aparshakti_khurana)
It's the Bollywood industry that's hit badly because of the lockdown. Everything is on halt, theatres are shut, shootings are stalled. What's your take on the entire idea of theatre experience completely diminishing as people would be scared to visit the theatres and do you think OTT will take over the experience of the theatres?
I feel that will only happen for the next 8 to 10 months till the time we don't have the vaccine and it can't happen beyond that. It's not a competition between these two platforms. I have already done a Netflix film Rajma Chawal, Hotstar film Kanpuriye and I keep collaborating with the people who are in the digital space. Coming back to your question, I can never be happy because watching a movie in theatres is an experience that you enjoy with your families. I know it will take a little while to go back to normal life. Sooner or later, the government will take some measures to benefit cinema owners and moviegoers. It's an experience which will never did. Back in our childhood days when people started owning TV sets and people used to say that now everyone has a TV so they wonât go to the theatres but that never happened. I will just add that good content will always be highlighted.
Taking the lockdown conversation a little further, many women have come out in open and said that it took a pandemic to happen for men to realize that domestic chores have no gender.
So a journalist told me, a few days, back that I would be spending a lot of time with my family and it must have been one of the takeaways for me in the lockdown. I said 'NO' because I was already spending a lot of time with my family. People who are together in this will always be together and people who are not contributing, they are already very immature. Let me tell 90% of people will go back to their original self after we all get back to normalcy. Secondly, I would add that most of the boys are just pretending ki 'hum kaam kar rahe hai'. it's mothers in 90% of the households who are doing the real job. Most boys are just doing it for TikTok or social media platforms, ki 'mein kapde dho raha hun'. I believe this is a bigger problem. We can talk about it forever and this is engraved in our upbringing and everyone has to be blamed for that, not just my father but my mother too who didn't teach me how to cut vegetables. I am an emotional guy and I used to be told things like 'ladke rote nahi hai'. I feel very happy that I didn't listen to anyone and I cried when I had to. It's too liberating to cry. I think even lockdown won't teach them anything and this is just for the social media platforms, and it's absolutely obnoxious. I am glad you asked this question with confidence and I know you can only ask this when things at your home are perfectly balanced and the way I answered it, that things at my household have been balanced even before the lockdown. We don't need that ki lockdown hai, so we need to work together, we don't need a lockdown to tell us that Hindu-Muslim riots in Delhi were wrong and to get rid of it. It's so unfortunate to realize that people will go back to the same track and that's the DNA of our upbringing.
You just mentioned about the upbringing being wrong. Just a few days back, a group called Boys Locker Room was getting discussed wherein a very problematic side of the younger generation came forward and shocked everyone. Where are we headed?
At the end of the day, it all boils down to the upbringing again. Of course, it's extremely disturbing and when I see these kids doing such stuff, I really sometimes start having double thoughts if I want to have kids or not. It's a very big statement that I am making because you do want a family after you get married.

We have discussed a lot about the current scenario. Coming back to you, how hard was it for you to make your presence felt as still, we have demarcation of being character actors.
It doesn't bother me anymore and in fact, it never did. We just need good content and for me, all that matters is that my character should be relevant be it I am a part of a movie or a series on OTT for that matter.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@aparshakti_khurana)
I agree with you that your characters were relevant and spoke volumes about you as an actor. People love your characters and relatable. Do you feel the sense of enlightenment when they say 'yeh toh apna jaisa sa lagta hai'?
I think that's the kind of cinema we have started to enjoy, all those small-town characters and all the real characters. Touchwood, people have loved me and that's how you want to sum up my journey. I have been all over the place but in a good way.
On an ending note, I would want to ask something completely off the track. You might find it funny, but your Instagram is filled with people calling you 'Paaji'. What's with this 'paaji' vibes?
I am a very 'paaji' person and if I would have met you at Deepak Kalra's house (a common friend and also a content creator), I would have addressed you too as 'paaji'. For me, 'paaji' is love and not something that is gender based.

They say âlove thy neighbourâ. But when your neighbour tries to act smart, you canât help but try and set them straight, right?
Now while India has its own quirky neighbours, Nepal too isnât far behind when it comes to having âencroachingâ neighbours being a pain in the a*s.
I mean, no offence but letâs admit that nobody appreciates snooping neighbours, do they? But perhaps living right across from each other often makes people forget all about their âboundariesâ. Just like how the Chinese media recently claimed that Mt Everest is in China, matlab yeh Geography toh sirf books mein hoti hai na?
Post showing Everest in China, CGTN deleted old tweet. In new tweet CGTN said, Everest located on China-Nepal border. pic.twitter.com/c1bx8hJmbB
â Sidhant Sibal (@sidhant) May 10, 2020
To give you a better understanding, Beijingâs state-run media house, China Global Television Network (CGTN) recently posted a tweet featuring Mt Everest and said, âlocated in Chinaâs Tibet Autonomous Regionâ which infuriated Indian and Nepalese users on Twitter who began calling out China for spreading fake news with #BackOffChina trending on the microblogging site.
Even though CGTN has since made appropriate changes to the caption, it didnât do much good because thousands of users had already seen the original post and the damage was done.
Both Indian and Nepalese users are trolling China right, left and centre for trying to make incorrect claims.
Mt. Everest is in Nepal,
Not in china.@PRCAmbNepal#backoffchina pic.twitter.com/dBHCcvzNyS
â सवà¥à¤¨à¤¾ð³ðµ (@SlowmoQueen9) May 10, 2020
Well, thatâs not happening.
Maybe they think Nepal is part of China's Tibet region.
And that's not cool at all.

Fake will always be fake.
World knows where Mt. Everest lies. Why Chinese media reporting false news. Mt. Everest lies on Nepal territory. #backoffchina

Nepalese people have taken personal offence over the matter.

A word of caution?
#backoffchina gentle reminder #nepal if you side with #china they will take not only Mount Everest but everything.
â rbajaj (@rbay_9) May 10, 2020
Well, no matter what they were trying to imply with that misleading caption, but if history is to be believed, China does have a tendency to call what belongs to others their own, or worse, try to take it by force...*coughs* Arunachal Pradesh *coughs*.

In a country where offroad racing is still a niche sport, CS Santosh has pretty much won everything there is on the Indian motorsport circuit. His humble demeanour might successfully mask his success, but the trophy cabinet at his home speaks volumes about his achievements, making him one of the most accomplished offroad racers in the country.
© Red Bull
Whether it's Supercross, Motocross, Dirt Track or Rally Raid, the 36-year-old has carved his own niche on the back of persistence, courage and determination to become an icon for others in the Indian motocross scene. He is the first rider from India to finish in the top five of Asian MX championship (in 2010) and the top 10 of the WCCRC (in 2014).
View this post on InstagramAny given day Iâd be on my motorcycle! All credits to this edit to my man @man_made_machines #heromotosports #givesyouwings #sidvin #favreleuba #scottmotosports #bigrockdirpark #reckyapp #fastindian #kolar #lifeon2wheels #dirtbikes #playA post shared by (@cssantosh)
Santosh is also the first Indian to compete and finish the Dakar Rally (in 2015) - one of the most difficult and prestigious rally raids in the world of motocross. And, the fact that he has taken part in Dakar Rally for six straight years and completed it thrice further highlights his dedication and will to succeed in a sport still finding its feet in India.
Amongst many reasons, fitness as part of his training programme has been key to his success in a harsh sport like motocross. While preparing for rally raids surely demands impeccable fitness levels, Santosh, even when he isn't getting ready for competition, pays close attention to his form. And, amid the ongoing Coronavirus lockdown, the Indian racer is doing all he can.
âI usually train to maintain my performance through lean periods by doing just a few lifts during the week and some mobility and cardio to keep from completely losing form. Well at first I found it hard to find motivation to train but then I put myself through the routine every day since thatâs the only form of outlet to maintain some sanity through this confinement," Santosh told MensXP.

Amid the lack of his trainer and essential training equipment, Santosh is cherishing the fact that he can now work on attaining a 'beach body'. "So my fitness goal now is to work on that beach body I have always wanted!! Working out at home is difficult because I miss not having my trainer help push me, but I have enjoyed being able to train sometimes twice a day making my own workouts," the Red Bull athlete said.
"Core work is easily achievable at home and also coupled with some cardio! I love Push Ups, Lateral split squat jumps, Bear Crawls, Lizard walk, Plank holds. I am actually enjoying being confined as I have been training almost every day and Iâm seeing some good results," Santosh gave an insight into his home workout while revealing his favourite exercises.
Push-Ups
View this post on InstagramI got wings! ð¥#heromotosports #givesyouwings #sidvin #favreleuba #scottmotosports #bigrockdirtpark #fastindian #reckyapp #wings #vogue #life #2wheelsA post shared by (@cssantosh)
One of the simplest exercises to practice, as long as you have the correct form. Start with your body parallel to the floor, with arms at full extension, balancing only on your palms and toes. Slowly lower your body so your chest is four-five inches above the ground and your elbows tucked comfortably into your body. Lift back up and repeat. Santosh says push-ups are a great overall workout for the upper body and core.
"Pushups are a great overall for the upper body and core," Santosh said.
Lateral Split Squat Jumps
View this post on InstagramI colour coordinate ð #lights #camera #smile #modellife #bigrockdirtpark #fastindian ð¸ @man_made_machinesA post shared by (@cssantosh)
Start in a lunge position â your right leg should be forward, left leg behind and body low so your left knee is a few inches above the ground. Quickly leap five feet to your left, also jumping upward as much as possible. When you land, interchange your leg positions so your left leg is forward and right leg behind; your right knee should be low to the floor. Again jump and return to the starting position. Santosh loves doing this exercise on leg day and for a cardio workout that gets his heart pacing.
"Lateral Split jumps are good for leg days and some cardio to get the heart pacing," the Indian racer claimed.
Bear Crawl
View this post on InstagramAll the usual suspects in this frame ðThrowback to shooting with @ali.bharmal in Gujarat 2 years ago. So many beautiful places that have yet to be ridden in Incredible India! India off-road! @ali.bharmal we need to get out and put something together again this year man! #heromotosports #givesyouwings #sidvin #scottmotosports #trackandtrail #mylife #vogue #topmodel #thuglife #instafame #rallybikes #fastindianA post shared by (@cssantosh)
For the starting position, you should be crouched down with your hands in front of you at shoulder-width, your knees bent and low to the ground, but only your palms and toes should be in contact with the ground. Try to keep your hips at the same level as your shoulders at all times so your core is parallel to the ground. Start walking forward with your alternate hand and leg moving half a foot forward each time; so you could start with the right hand and left foot, followed by the left hand and right foot.
Keep walking forward till you run out of space and then walk backwards in the same motion of alternate limbs. Santosh loves the bear crawl because it is a great drill to build core stability. "Bear Crawl is a great core stability drill," he said.
Lizard Walks
View this post on InstagramIâm usually taking breaks between sets in my imaginary Rally Car ðð #heromotosports #givesyouwings #sidvin #scottmotosports #trackandtrail #fitnessmotivation #trainingday #mylife #vogue #fitnessmodel #topmodel #thuglife #fastindian ð¸ @ali.bharmalA post shared by (@cssantosh)Santosh says that the lizard walk exercise is really tough and you need to be very strong to perform it correctly. He says he is currently in a work-in-progress stage with perfecting the lizard walk. This exercise is one of the toughest variations of the push-up. You start in the push-up position and while moving down, you also walk forward with one hand and opposite foot; so if you move your right hand forward, you also move your left foot ahead. Push back up and when lowering down, walk ahead with the other hand and foot. Keep walking until you run out of space and then turn and around and continue for as many repetitions as you are comfortable with.
"Lizard walks are really tough and you need to be really strong so this is work in progress for me," Santosh revealed.
Planks

A simple, static exercise that is performed by elevating your body off the ground so you are only balancing on your palms and toes. Hold the position for as long as possible while keeping your core braced. Santosh loves this exercise because it helps build a super strong core and some endurance as well.
"Plank holds for that strong core coupled with some suffering to fight against the clock," he said.

We don't know anything about Thor: Love and Thunder right now except for one thing - that it's going to be amazing. And, how do we know that? Because we can trust Taika Waititi to top himself and make the best Marvel Cinematic Universe movie after he gave us the incredible Thor: Ragnarok.
Since there's a long way to go for the shooting to even begin for the fourth movie, we actually won't know anything about the plot for well over a year. So, what else can fans do in that much time except for speculating the plot and coming up with theories? Moreover, everyone has some extra time right now to completely geek out, so why not?
© Marvel
A fan theory about Thor: Love and Thunder not only ties together the entire phase four but also explains how Jane Foster might be able to wield Mjolnir, a hammer that doesn't even exist in the current reality.
Basically, a theory from the r/FanTheories subreddit suggests that the movie will probably loosely adapt The Mighty Thor comics storyline where Jane Foster becomes Thor. But, it's not just that, it also ties in The Eternals and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
It starts with "In present-day NY, Jane Foster is suffering from breast cancer after she was possessed by The Aether." While the aether was not the reason behind her cancer in the comics, this could be a great way for some continuation because after all, she did have an infinity stone inside of her.
© Marvel
Then comes the Doctor Strange connection - "A hammer from alternate timeline makes its way to the main universe through the portals opened by Doctor strange during MoM events, it's looking for new wielder and Choose Jane, she picks it up and becomes Mighty Thor."
There is a small Guardians of the Galaxy connection since Thor did leave earth with them - "In space, Guardians drop Thor on Vanaheim and left for their own adventure. Thor is looking for lady Sif after she was absent during Ragnarok but he finds out that she is already gone somewhere." Lady Sif's absence was painfully felt in Ragnarok and honestly, it would be great if she came back.
© Marvel
The best addition to the new movie is obviously Christian Bale and here's a theory on what he could be playing - "Actually Sif and her new friend Beta Ray Bill are investigating about the same alien who was the lone survivor of his race, he is known as Gorr. It is said that Gorr was the one who killed Celestials for revenge.he is so powerful that even Celestials feared him and if he is freed again he will continue to wreak havoc on the universe. Odin feared Gorr himself and that is why he had Hela to protect Asgard."
Then, of course, Gorr is freed and ends up meeting Thor and we get to know his backstory - "Years ago when his planet was dying of drought he prayed for rain but no one listened to them instead Celestials came and destroyed it and since then Gorr is on a vengeful mission to wipe anyone against his will."

This calls for a superhero team-up and Thor, along with Sif, Beta Ray Bill, Valkyrie, and Jane defeat the villain. Lastly, the theory suggests that the movie will end with Sif sacrificing herself and then finally Thor's retirement.
Well, that is a compelling theory and honestly, pretty believable as well. But, I'm still holding out hope for Loki's return since it's not a Thor movie without Loki, of course.

As the world marks 11 days gone by since maverick actor Irrfan Khanâs tragic passing, his son Babil has been sharing loads of unseen glimpses of the legendâs quieter, more private moments at home - including one, in particular, thatâs just way too cute.

Shot in monochrome, the post opens with an image of Khan sitting on a sofa at home while playing with a friendly feline companion - followed by a video of the cat cosying up to the actor.
Along with several messages commenting on how adorable the video was, several fans thanked Bilal for opening a window into the life of their now-late idol, expressing how they rewatched classic Irrfan masterpieces such as The Lunchbox and Angrezi Medium in honour of his passing.
Irrfanâs death came on the 29th of April after a long, two-year battle with a neuroendocrine tumour.
Recently, Babil had also posted the following video, where his father was seen swimming in a pond while on set.

Actor Vipin Sharma had written, âIrrfan loved swimming. We were together in Filmcity long ago during the shooting of Discovery of India. There was a small pond. Irrfan jumped right in and swam while I sat outside and chatted with him.â
Upon the actorâs death, Irrfanâs wife Sutapa Sikdar and sons Babil and Ayaan issued a family statement, saying, âHow can I write this as a family statement when the whole world is taking it as a personal loss? How can I begin to feel alone when millions are grieving with us at the moment? I want to assure everyone that this is not a loss, it is a gain. Itâs a gain of the things he taught us, and now we shall finally begin to truly implement it and evolve.â
Some of Babilâs throwbacks go way into Irrfanâs past - such as these incredible shots from Irrfanâs stint in the National School of Drama back in the 1980s.

Others were just simple moments of Irrfan enjoying a bit of pani-puri while getting off an arduous shoot-schedule diet.

Itâs brought a smile to many fans - several of whom have been mourning this great loss to Indian cinema alongside the subsequent death of Rishi Kapoor.

Mothers are always special. No matter the period or age, mothers continue to be one of the biggest role models in most peopleâs lives. They can love us to death, and beat the shit out of us in the same breath.
They are the most loyal cheerleaders weâll ever come across in life, and the most brutal critics who can set us right by merely using the right words.

Mothers are multi-talented. Their knowledge is endless, their wisdom has saved our lives on multiple occasions, there doesnât exist a better multi-tasker than her and no love so abundant and selfless.
No matter how much we try to deny it, we cannot help but seek her out all the freaking time! Despite the arguments and show-downs, all it takes for things to go back to normal is âkuch bana du khane ke liye?â Mothers are priceless, and more often than not, we forget to tell her so.

But there are a few Bollywood heroes who arenât so shy about expressing their love for their mom, and openly share how much they adore her. Here are 5 such leading Bollywood stars who publicly adore their moms and donât give a shit about being called a âmamaâs boyâ:
1. Vicky Kaushal © Instagram
Vicky Kaushal may be known as a shy young man, but when it comes to expressing his admiration for his mom Veena, Vicky comes through as a doting son.
We already know that Vicky is pretty close to his family, but when it comes to showing it, Vicky does not hold back.

2. Kartik Aaryan © Instagram
Kartik Aaryan is especially out there when it comes to showering his mom Mala with all the attention both in real and reel life.
We often see him sharing pictures with his mother and sister, whom he calls his biggest pillars of strength. And understandably, Kartikâs mom too doesnât seem to mind the mushy-ness one bit.

3. Shahid Kapoor © momspresso
Shahid and his mom Neelima share a very strong bond. She has been a part of every significant event in the actorâs life despite being divorced from his father Pankaj Kapur.
Shahidâs mom is often seen spending time with his family along with his younger brother Ishaan. Itâs pretty obvious that she is the glue within the family.

Aparshakti may not be as poetically gifted as his older brother Ayushmann, but that doesnât stop him from expressing how much he admires their mother Poonam.
Right from going on trips together to clicking endless photos with her, Aparshakti makes sure his mother knows how much she is adored.

5. Ranbir Kapoor © Instagram
Needless to say, Ranbir had to be on this list. He is most definitely a mamaâs boy through and through.
Ranbir can often be found right beside his mom Neetu during public outings, and if rumours are to be believed, takes her wishes into consideration very seriously.
Even during family gatherings, they usually hang out in the same circles.

It's about time the mentality behind being a 'mama's boy' sees a shift, don't you think?

Early this Sunday, Mumbaiâs Nair hospital experienced nothing short of a Mother's Day miracle.
After being turned down by seven hospitals, an expectant mother was taken in by Dr Ganesh Shinde of Nairâs Gynaecology department, where despite having tested positive for COVID-19, she delivered a set of healthy triplets - each of whom tested negative for the deadly virus.
Itâs not too much of a stretch to say that sheâs been through one of the most dire 24-hours of her life this weekend, but if thereâs a Motherâs Day message to take home from here, itâs this: There is nothing more difficult on this Earth than being a mother.
Being A Mother Is A Full-Time Job

I think we all deserve some slack for not realising this as children. After being asked countless times about our ambitions and plans for the future, many of us wanted to grow up as soon as possible - no more rules to follow? That sure sounded great back then.
And so, as we grew older into our teenage years, we threw ourselves into friendships, relationships and personal interests that came and went - all with the hope that we wouldnât grow old with regrets. All while our mothers stood by our sides and dealt with our mood swings, our avoidant behaviour and tendency to jump the nest.

While we make progress on the front of women's rights inch by inch every day, itâs only been just over seventy years since the first womenâs rights movement marched onward in the western world - just a blink in the eye of human history.
When our mothers were growing up in the late 20th century, many of them had to fight against social pressures the likes of which we take for granted today - especially as men.
Having a child as an Indian woman came with many expectations that remain invisible to us today, especially if weâre not actively looking for them.
Our mothers have sacrificed so much in the name of raising us - everything from career opportunities as working women to late nights and early mornings spent on household chores and family expectations.

Thatâs why, perhaps this Motherâs Day, when weâre socially distanced and donât have the means to produce grand gestures or expensive gifts, perhaps the most important thing we can give our mothers is the chance to open up. To have a tougher, but more honest conversation about the realities theyâve faced and the sacrifices theyâve had to make.
One that they could not have with a young child by their side, but can definitely have with an older, matured one who also isnât just a son or daughter - but a friend to lean on as well.

Ayushmann Khurrana is a multi-faceted artist who happens to be good at a lot of things besides acting!
He is a fantastic poet, his singing calibre needs no introduction and his performances always leave us spell-bound.
While Ayushmann has been letting his creative juices flow full-on amid the lockdown, he has come back with the most wonderful composition on the occasion of Motherâs Day with a special song called âMaâ.

Right from the soulful tunes to the poignant lyrics, this song is going to hit you right in the feels.
Itâs everything we have felt about our mothers, but also everything we couldnât put into words. Give it a listen to the song and feel grateful for this special person in your life whose entire world literally revolves around you.
View this post on InstagramHere's something for all the Mothers out there who constantly and selflessly shape our lives and the world. This track has been composed by my dear talented friend @rochakkohli and lyrics are by my amazing nikka phraa @ghuggss. Iâm fortunate weâve been together since our formative years. You need extreme purity and sensitivity as an artiste to come up with such a creation. Thanks guys!A post shared by (@ayushmannk)
Composed by music director Rochak Kohli and with lyrics by actor and lyricist Gurpreet Saini, this song will send you down memory lane following the soulful voice of Ayushmann who makes this song an absolute treat.

So just in case, you havenât been able to come up with something special to gift your mom on the occasion of Motherâs Day, just forward this video to her and let this wonderful creation do its trick.
This is perhaps one of the many ways to let our mothers know that they mean the world to us, despite the bickering, tantrums and our incapability to express that she is and will always be the queen of our hearts.
