    The coronavirus pandemic has shaken up the world. With so many political leaders proven wrong about the gravity of the situation, we have realised that there is so much we don't know the novel coronavirus. However, every two weeks, there is a new revelation by scientists or physicians that takes a step ahead in discovering the reality of the virus.
    Now, scientists are speculating the possibility of transmission COVID-19 sexually after finding traces of the virus in the semen of patients.
    These traces do not currently confirm whether it can spread or transmitted during *** or not, AP reported. According to doctors, of the 38 patients who were undergoing treatment for coronavirus, 6 were found with the COVID-19 virus in their semen. JAMA Network Open published this report after research was conducted at Shangqiu Municipal Hospital in China.
    In terms of questions like, how long can the virus stay in semen or if it's transmitted at all? It has not been determined yet.

    The study's result contrast with a study previously done on 34 Chinese men with COVID-19 which was published last month in the journal Fertility and Sterility.

    The US and Chinese researchers have found no evidence of the virus in semen tested between eight days and almost three months after diagnosis.

    Dr. John Hotaling of the University of Utah, co-author of this report has said that the new study involved patients that were infected with COVID-19 to a greater extent with an active disease that needed to be treated.

    While, officially, coronavirus can only be spread through droplets produced when infected people cough, which is then inhaled by people nearby, there are new studies that are generating speculations that can be airborne and even be sexually transmitted.Β

    Other studies have reported findings of spotting the COVID-19 virus in the blood, feces, and even tears. It doesn't help that we already have evidence pointing towards infectious viruses including Zika and Ebola that can be sexually transmitted.

    As of now, The American Society for Reproductive Medicine has assured us that unless there is concrete proof,Β  the new study shouldnΓ’t be cause for alarm.Β

    Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, not many phones are launching in the near future but that does not mean we do not look back at our past.Β 
    Some of the most iconic phones were launched in the 2000s which we, at some point, owned or knew somebody who had these phones.Β 
    Many of these phones look entirely different from each other and some looked absolutely futuristic. Today, we can hardly differentiate our phones from other phones because they all seemed to use the same design.Β 
    Whether you are using a phone that costs Rs 5,000 or Rs 50,000; more or less they look identical to each other.Β 
    Here are some of the phones we all owned back in the day that not only looked different from each other but also looked cool:
    1.Β Nokia 6600Β  © Youtube/Where to Buy
    When this phone launched all over the world, it sold like hotcakes, thanks to the way it looked.Β 

    The phone was launched in 2003 and it had a 2.1-inch colour display. It had a joystick at the centre for easier navigation and call/end buttons on either side of the body.Β 
    The phone even had a colour VGA camera which was unheard of on phones at the time.Β 
    The phone was also known for having polyphonic ringtones that gave users a bit more to show off over other phones with monophonic ringtones.Β 
    2. Sony Ericsson T610 © Youtube/MassMadeSoul
    Launched shortly after the Nokia 6600, the smaller Sony Ericsson T610 also came with a joystick, a colour screen and a single CIF camera.Β 

    While the phone was not as popular as the Nokia 6600, it sold well, thanks to its small size and iconic two-tone design. We later saw phones with other colour combinations as well.Β 
    The phone had a metal body with subtle curves that were separated with aluminium halves.Β 
    3. Nokia N95 © Flickr/NRKBeta
    The Nokia N95 launched a year before the iPhone and was generally considered a smartphone as it ran the third edition of S60 Symbian OS v9.2.Β 

    The phone came with a two-way sliding mechanism which was used to access the keypad and the music playback buttons.Β 
    The Nokia N95 was a high point for Symbian based phones and was one of our favourite phones by the company till date.Β 
    4. Motorola V70Β  © Motorola
    Motorola V70 was one of the most expensive phones at the time of its launch that features a unique rotary system instead of the classic flip design.Β 

    The keypad cover could be rotated in a full circle and could also be worn around the neck by inserting a lanyard. The circular bezels could also be customised with gold, silver, or white accessories.
    5. Nokia 8210 © Ali-Express
    This was one of the smallest phones ever created by Nokia as it was only 10cm tall and weighed only 79 grams. The phone had enough memory to store 250 numbers, four games and hand 75 hours of standby time.Β 

    You could even interchange the covers for a more personalised look.Β 
    6. Blackberry Pearl 8100Β  © Blackberry
    Launched in 2006, the Blackberry Pearl 8100 made the company a lot of money as it was one of the most popular phones launched that year.Β 

    Blackberry was the number one mobile company at the time and the smaller design was very popular amongst users thanks to its SureType keyboard. It even had a trackball in the middle which would often stop working after a while.Β 
    It had a 1.3MP camera and a 2.2-inch colour display.Β 
    7. Nokia 8850 © YouTube/Mbez Channel
    This is still, in my opinion, the hottest phone Nokia has ever made as the entire body was encased in chrome. Since the metal used in the body was not widely available, it was quite expensive to buy this phone due to limited stock.Β 

    It was also the first phone to have an in-built antenna which caused the battery to drain faster. However, since the manufacturing process for this phone was quite difficult and complex, Nokia could not make them quick enough to keep up with the demand.Β 
    The phone was also considered to be unrepairable due to the couples design and scarce spare parts.Β Β 
    WeΓ’ve already picked five other phones with cool designs previously and you can have a look at them here. Of course, there were plenty more phones that people bought and it is impossible to fit them all in one article.Β 
    We would love to hear your suggestions in the comments section. We may just include your suggestions in the next feature we plan on doing.

    It has been more than two decades since we experienced Jack and Rose's love story which broke many hearts and gave us one of the most romantic and spine-chilling movies Titanic. But was it just the movie or the giant luxury ship that sank and took lives of more than 1,500 people
    The damage was heartbreaking too, and it took many years to uncover the whole story related to this tragedy. Titanic happens to be one of the most intriguing things that history has seen. So we bring you some trivia and facts about the 'unsinkable ship', Titanic, that you should know.
    1. Titanic Had Many Fatal Flaws © iStock
    This beautiful ship, had design flaws, one of which was airtight bulkheads that were not sealed which ultimately led to rooms getting filled up with water. The ship was designed in a vague manner. The steel of the ship's hull and the iron of its rivet led to brittle fracture due to the temperature, speed and sulfur content in it.

    The steel erupted and it shattered with rivets popping out, all of which made the ship sink quicker. Ultimately, it hit the iceberg and the ship started sinking. Another blood-curdling fact is that it took only 2 hours and 40 minutes for the whole ship to sink!
    2. Titanic Had A Lot Of Love Stories © Country Living Magazines
    While we only know Jack and Rose's story, it is surprising to know that there were more 13 couplesΒ who had come on this ship to spend their honeymoon.Β 

    3. The Last Survivor Of This Ship © Wikipedia
    In the movie, Titanic shows how Rose lived for 101 years and was the last survivor on the ship. In real life, the survivor passed away at the age of 97 in 2009. Her name was Milvina Dean who was the youngest passenger and had boarded with her parents and her brother. Before her death, the director of the movie James Cameron with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio decided to pay for her nursing home so she could lead her life peacefully.Β 

    4. Movie Budget And The Ship © Instagram/Titanicfans_Official
    The ideal cost of Titanic would be around $400 million in today's time but James Cameron's movie earned around $1.84 billion ever since it released in 1997. This excludes the re-release of the 3D version of this movie that came in 2012.

    5. The Story Of The Head Baker © Wikipedia
    The head baker of the ship. Charles Joughin Β was apparently saved post the accident as he drank alcohol to survive the dropping temperature. He was able to breathe for 2 hours before he was rescued.Β 

    6.Β  Smokestacks Issue © Instagram/Titanicfans_Official
    While there were four smokestacks on the ship, only three of them were actually functioning and working fine. The one extra did not actually work and was only to make the ship look a little more luxurious and impressive.

    Can you even ignore Salman Khan when he starts dancing on the floor? Well, you would know that he will come with a hook step which will surely go viral, even when itΓ’s as ridiculous as his towel dance in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. I am not complaining here but if Salman Khan can dance then I am sure any non-dancer can also come up with crazy hook steps. So, you donΓ’t have to do much as you can just play with your collar, belt, and whatever for that matter you get at your disposal, and you will get your perfect dance move. In fact, thatΓ’s our Dabangg KhanΓ’s recipe and we do listen to our very popular Γ’BhaiΓ’
    © Giphy
    His steps are meant for all the Γ’pappusΓ’ who find dancing harder than experimenting with chemicals in the science lab and by this, I donΓ’t want to offend the engineers because I know some who are amazing dancers like Sushant Singh Rajput. Let me cut the slack, you can try SalmanΓ’s steps even if you havenΓ’t moved your two feet ever for dancing in your family functions. You can also impress your girlfriend with these moves because Salman has already made them popular. Here are some of the popular hook steps of the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor.

    1. Hud Hud DabanggHold your belt and move it - thatΓ’s it! You are sorted because you have got your step of the month. Who knew that Salman can even belts in its full capacity but hats off for the innovation.
    © Giphy
    2. Jag GhoomeyaAs the songΓ’s title suggests, bas ghoomna hi hai. Just twirl on the dance floor and you are done but be brave enough to not **** this up as you might land up hurting your bums. DonΓ’t forget that he is Salman Khan, the inventor of all the crazy hook steps.Β 
    © Giphy
    3. Jeene Ke Hain Char DinThis is the mother of all the inventions for the matter because I am sure no one would have ever thought in their wildest dreams that a towel can be used in such a creative way. Well, I cannot explain this one as itΓ’s for you to see and learn by your self.Β 
    © Giphy
    4. JalwaThis is simplest of all because here you have to know nothing but how to pull your shirt collar. Just wear a loose shirt and team it up with a cool vest, baggy jeans, and bandanas.Β 
    © Giphy
    5. Dhinka ChikaIf you think you donΓ’t want to move at all, just put your hands in your pockets and you have the perfect dance move.Β 
    © Giphy
    Well, I am happy that his dance moves become popular but I miss the Salman who captured hearts while dancing to Oh Oh Jane Jaana.Β

    Remember the pre-Coronavirus phase and how we watched movies at the theatres every Friday? Yes, just missing that!

    As the world continues to combat the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, people across the globe are trying to make sense of these strange times where lockdown protocols, including staying indoors, have become the new way of life. Indian badminton star Ashwini Ponnappa, akin to a billion others on the planet, is also trying to find meaning in life restricted to the walls of her residence.
    In the ideal world, Ponnappa, who created history by winning India's first Commonwealth Games gold medal alongside Jwala Gutta in women's doubles, would have been travelling across the globe with her current on-court partner N Sikki Reddy to fight for their Tokyo Olympics qualifications. But, thanks to COVID-19, all sporting activities have been suspended.

    While the fast-spreading virus has indeed brought life, as we know it, to a standstill, staying indoors, as part of the preventive measures by the government, has given a great opportunity to Ponnappa to keep herself fit. The 30-year-old doubles specialist has struggled with injuries over the past year, but the ongoing situation has allowed her not only to regain her fitness, but also iron out the flaws in her game.

    Γ’ Ashwini Ponnappa (@P9Ashwini) April 11, 2020
    The Indian badminton ace has been doing some wall practice with hex balls and some throws with another soft ball to maintain her focus on the game. And, while she might not have world-class equipment or trainers at her disposal, Ponnappa is sticking to the basics. "I am committed to fitness, it is what has got me where I am today," the CWG medallist told MensXP.
    Rather than fretting over the lack of training equipment, the Indian women's doubles and mixed doubles star is cherishing the fact that her workouts aren't bound by time at home. "I am enjoying the fact that workouts from home mean that time is no longer a restriction, although I do tend to get distracted easily," Ponnappa revealed.

Still managed to do a good workout at home Γ°Βͺ #homeworkout #stayhomesavelives #stayhomestaysafe . . . . . . . . . #givesyouwings #victorbadminton #teamvictor #stayfitstayhealthyA post shared by (@p9ashwini)
    For someone who would generally train for about five hours a day, with two sessions four days a week and one session twice a week, Ponnappa is currently enjoying all the time at hand. "My focus is on maintaining fitness by exercising every day. I work out once a day. Minimum rep would be three sets. But if IΓ’m tired because of other work then 1 set. I mix it along with doing some badminton drills. I donΓ’t have a fixed number of days I train, but take it day by day. And if I feel I need rest, IΓ’d rest,Γ’ the Red Bull athlete said.
    Dwelving into the details of her home workout, Ponnappa disclosed, and recommends, 5 simple exercises that are keeping her fit during the ongoing lockdown.
    Squats View this post on Instagramð ґï¸ð & ðA post shared by (@p9ashwini)
    From a standing position with your feet under your hips, drop back into a seated position until your knees are almost at 90 degrees. Slowly lift yourself back up to complete the repetition. You could do this with your hands clasped at the back of your head, crossed in front of your chest or stretched out in front of you. Just make sure to keep your knees pointed outward and maintain a straight line from your head to your tailbone. Ashwini loves squats because they can be performed anywhere, anytime, and makes her legs feel stronger.Β 
    Push-Ups View this post on InstagramWorld championships 2019 ð¸ Looking forward to getting on court Γ°Βͺ #letsgo #givemybest #badmintonworldchampionships2019 #onemoreday #positivevibesΓ’Γ―ΒΈ#victorbadminton #readytowin #givesyouwingsA post shared by (@p9ashwini)
    All you need to perform a push-up is adequate floor space. Start by dropping down to the floor and balancing on your palms and toes with your arms at full extension. Slowly lower your body until your chest is hovering inches above the ground, and then slowly lift yourself back up. Keep your elbows tucked in so your elbows, torso and head are forming an arrow shape. Ashwini loves push-ups because they build strength in her arms, which help directly when playing badminton.

    Tricep Dips View this post on InstagramHappy Diwali Ò¨ð #diwaliA post shared by (@p9ashwini)
    Β You will need a bench Γ’ or any other stable elevation Γ’ for assistance with this workout. Place your hands at the edge of the bench with fingers pointed forward. Extend your legs and plant your feet into the ground. Lift yourself off the bench and dip your hips until your elbows are at about 90 degrees. Ashwini loves tricep dips for the same reason she loves push-ups - both great for an arm workout and helps with her game.
    Heel Raises View this post on InstagramWe are all responsible for our own thoughts ð­ and actions. That is why I am supporting the International Women's Day #EachforEqual campaign. Let's change the way the ð thinks togetherð€ #IWD2020 Happy womenÒs day ðA post shared by (@p9ashwini)
    While in a neutral standing position, shift the weight of your body to your toes and lift up your heels. Balance the weight of your body on your toes and keep your calf muscles braced while lifting. Slowly lower your heel back down and repeat. Ashwini says that heel raises help keep her calf muscles strong, which is particularly important right now because she is recovering from a calf muscle injury.

    On-The-Spot MarchingThe best way to cool down post a good workout pic.twitter.com/ZH7m492OKE
    Γ’ Ashwini Ponnappa (@P9Ashwini) May 5, 2020
    In a standing position, keep your feet roughly shoulder-width apart. In one quick motion, lift your right knee till it forms a 90-degree angle and drive your left arm up to your chest with a slit bend in the elbow. Quickly drop your right leg back down and bring your left knee up, also switching movements with your arms. Repeat the entire movement routine to march on the spot. Ashwini likes this cardio workout because it helps you work up a sweat from the comfort of your home.

    Strong, handsome, and one of the most talented men in the history of Indian cricket, these were the many ways in which Ravi Shastri was introduced back in the day. From his unbelievable international debut in New ZealandΒ to taking his Audi for a spin in 1985, his career as a cricketer has been beyond phenomenal.Β 

    However, Shastri, who was also an integral part of the 1983 team which lifted the Prudential World Cup and created history, has not been your typical good boy and has had his fair share of naughty deeds during his days as both a player and as the head coach of Virat KohliΓ’s Men in Blue.Β Β 
    Here are 5 Ravi Shastri controversies that his die-hard fans would probably want to forget:
    Reported For Underage Drinking
    During his days as a member of the U-19 team, Shastri was caught drinking beer by his warden. After confronting Shastri and telling him that he was going to report him to the higher authorities, the warden was walking away with the beer bottle half full when Shastri called him back and poured it in his glass before letting him go. He confirmed and narrated the story in an episode of Breakfast With Champions.
    Sleeping During The GameDon't blame Ravi Shastri, it's Monday, happens to everyone! ð€£ #INDvsSA pic.twitter.com/vGf4SAi2RZ
    Γ’ ΓŠΓ‰Β₯dɹnɯ (@Jaw_Knock) October 21, 2019
    In October 2019, Ravi Shastri, who was reappointed as the head coach of Team India recently, was spotted taking a nap in the middle of a Test match between India and South Africa in Ranchi. The images of him dozing off so blissfully became a viral meme and Twitter users had a grand day trolling the man. According to Mid-Day Shastri responded to the haters by saying: Γ’Enjoy, EnjoyΓ’Β¦.I donΓ’t care what people say. I donΓ’t miss a single ball.Γ’
    Incredibly, this wasnΓ’t the first time Shastri was caught getting some shuteye while his team was out there on the field. Back in 2018, during a Test match between India and England, Shastri could be seen sleepingΒ and Harbhajan Singh trolled him on commentary. Γ’Ravi Shastri having a nap there. Wake up, Ravi!Γ’ said Harbhajan as other commentators around him burst into a laugh.
    Virat KohliΓ’s Yes-Man#DNAPoll Do you think Ravi Shastri is a 'Yes Man'?
    Γ’ DNA (@dna) November 15, 2018
    With Virat Kohli as the captain of the Indian cricket team, showing his open support to Ravi Shastri as the Indian head coach despite a horrible show at the ICC tournaments and a lack of decent middle order batting under his leadership, many went on to call him the formerΓ’s yes-man. The situation got so out of hand that the skipper had to openly address this issue and called it Γ’agenda drivenΓ’.Β 
    In the episode of India Today InspirationΒ Kohli said: Γ’I think most of these things are agenda-driven. I don't know who's why or what for, but to accept lies in that manner, it could not be anything else but agenda-driven.Γ’
    Rivalry With Sourav Ganguly © Reuters
    Two of the most influential people in Indian cricket, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and Head Coach Ravi Shastri do not like each other one bit and they have been very vocal about it in the past. Back in 2016 when Shastri failed to get appointed as the Head Coach over Anil Kumble, he blamed the Γ’Prince of KolkataΓ’Β for it and called the selection process Γ’disrespectfulΓ’.Β 

    Ganguly reacted to ShastriΓ’s comments by saying: Γ’If Ravi Shastri feels that Sourav Ganguly was responsible for him not being the India coach, he is living in a foolΓ’s world.Γ’
    Anil KumbleΓ’s Resignation As Head Coach © Reuters
    There was nothing pretty about the way Anil Kumble resigned from the position of Indian Head Coach, directly blaming Virat Kohli as the reason behind his decision. Following the incident, Committee of Administrators (CoA) member Diana Edulji wrote an email in which she revealed how Γ’rules were brokenΓ’ to replace Kumble with Shastri.

    According to ESPNcricinfo, Edulji also revealed that Kohli would often send messages to BCCI CEO Rahul Johri about Kumble which eventually led to him stepping down.
    She also called out the selection process behind Shastri's appointment. Even though the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) had advocated Kumble as the clear choice for the role, BCCI extended the deadline for applications. That is when Shastri applied and signed the contract as head coach until 2019. Fishy, fishy.

    The whole Android vs iOS debate is never-ending.Β 
    Although it all comes down to personal preference, you'll be surprised by the fact that a lot of people still obsess over the operating system they use and how it compares against the others.
    We're not getting into that debate. Neither we are suggesting that Android is better than iOS. We love both the OS' and we think both of them have features unique to them that make them great.
    However, there are a few things only Android phones can do at the moment.

    Android customization options are just a breeze to work with and it's a place you can truly show your creativity and make a truly unique setup for yourself.Β 

    The home screen customization community on Android is very big and it is arguably one of the best features of Android. Right now, Apple's iPhones don't even have a home screen.Β 
    You directly get to the apps page as soon as you unlock your phone, but this may change very soon.
    3. Automatically Change WallpapersFor a lot of people, having a good wallpaper on their phone is really important. Some say it truly reflects your character and says a lot about you. Well, let's not get into that conversation, but it's always good to keep your home screen looking clean and fresh with new wallpapers.Β 
    With Android, you can use a third-party app or Google's very own app to have your wallpapers change automatically on a daily basis.

    Unless youΓ’ve been living under a rock, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse was one of the decade's most brilliant animated films, period. Web-slinging through a captivating story, tons of fanservice and some of the most unique and skilful representation of comic book art the world has ever seen, making it more than just a movie.

    However, an incredible plan has been revealed that didnΓ’t quite make the cut Γ’ cameos from all three previous live-action Spider-Men.
    via GIPHY
    During a recent Γ’Quarantine Watch PartyΓ’ of the film Γ’ which follows young student Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) as opposed to the classic Spidey persona of Peter Parker Γ’ producer Christopher Miller told his followers there was actually a plan to have Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield appear together.
    We pitched the Sony brass an ambitious tag involving Spider-Ham, Tobey, Andrew, and Tom. They felt it was Γ’too soonΓ’#SpiderVerse #QuarantineWatchParty https://t.co/E91H1eLysr
    Γ’ Christopher Miller (@chrizmillr) May 7, 2020
    Early in the movieΓ’s development, the filmmakers had conceived an idea to have Maguire play the older Spider-Man who tutors Miles (who ended up being voiced by Jake Johnson), however, there was too much hesitation around Γ’confusingΓ’ people - guess we get to blame the studio executives for this one.
    © Sony Pictures
    Co-director Rodney Rothman explained in earlier interview with Screen Crush:

    Γ’There was. There were many thoughts about where we could put Tobey Maguire and others. I think after this film, those thoughts might have a little more traction. But before this movie, and introducing the idea of the Spider-Verse to the audience, I think everybody was afraid that it would just really confuse people. But wow, it would have been fun.Γ’
    © Columbia Pictures
    Fun would be an understatement - while the memes themselves would have been downright hilarious, it would be an excellent homage to a series of films (and reboots) which have captivated audiences for over 18 years.

    Many credit the original 2002 Spider-Man with bringing superhero films back into vogue, and itΓ’s likely that without its resounding success, weΓ’d have never seen the MCU ever take shape.
    via GIPHY
    While MacguireeΓ’s OG Spider-Man started it all, weΓ’d be remiss to forget Andrew GarfieldΓ’s Amazing Spider-Man.

    via GIPHY
    Spider-Verse is one of the most successful superhero flicks of all time; as well as pioneering its own dazzling comic-panel style, it grossed more than $375 million worldwide and deservedly swiped the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

    While the three Spider-Men didnΓ’t appear themselves, the cast had no shortage of surprises, with Peni Parker, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Ham and Spider-Man Noir (voiced by Nicolas Cage no less) all appearing. However, our current friendly neighbourhood web-head, Holland, is keen to enter the Spider-Verse one day.

    © Sony Pictures
    Γ’Of course I would love to make a movie with those guys, it would be so cool,Γ’ said Holland. Γ’It would be amazing, it would be really, really cool. And itΓ’s something that the fans really want. So whether Marvel and Sony decided to do that, itΓ’s up to them. ItΓ’s not up to me, I canΓ’t walk in like Γ’Kevin [Feige], this is what weΓ’re doing on the next one.Γ’ But it would be really awesome.Γ’

    As for Spider-Verse, a sequel is in development, set for release on October 7, 2022 Γ’ maybe weΓ’ll get the Spider-Men back together then.

    The two major components of life, that make the world go round, are Money and Love (Later, Power and Glory follow suite). As superficial and one-dimensional the purpose of money sounds, the truth is- all of us, from different walks of life, cemented by our ambitions, education, & the basic instinct of not starving to death are united by our principal need of scrounging for money! The same goes even for Billionaires. But what if all the money that you have earned is lost in a day only due to the bad decisions you made in life?Β

    Yes, right from mega-mansions to private jets, losing it all and going bankrupt does not take very long. Here are some billionaires who went from being rich to completely bankrupt and then broke. Check it out
    1. Patricia Kluge © Instagram/Patricia Kluge
    She was the epitome of leading a lavish lifestyle back when she got married to John Kluge, whose net worth was $5 Billion and was ranked as the richest man of the US in 1981. Later when they got divorced, Patricia got a settlement amount which was hefty, around $1 million. With that money, she tried her luck and established Kluge estate winery and vineyard.Β 
    She also had a loan hanging on her head of $65 million. With no proper backing and understanding, it led to the housing crisis and she was forced to sell her Albermarle estate along with valuable possessions. This was later bought by Donald TrumpΒ at a whopping cost of $6 million.
    2. Vijay MallyaΒ  © Wikipedia
    Controversies surrounding the prominent liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya have been swirling now for years. This billionaire used to have a lavish lifestyle with extravagant parties and so much more. The tycoon had racked multiple loans from banks to keep his business afloat but this turned into something nasty.Β 
    The banks started looking for him while he had fled from India to the UK, escaping the authorities. The businessman has been charged with bank fraud and money laundering for an estimated amount of $90 billion. After this, his net worth suffered and he went totally bankrupt.
    3. Huang WenjiΒ Wenji who happens to be the chairman of China Jicheng Holdings, a company that makes umbrellas had around $2.26 billion dollars worth of shares in the company. It took just one day for the company to suffer a series of losses, that cascaded everywhere and he was just left with $115 million. This ultimately doomed the company.Β

    This real estate tycoon also fell foul of the housing marketing. Ramesh Chandra's company, called Unitech suffered a serious loss and was investigated for allegations of mismanagement and siphoning of money.
    What's interesting to learn here is the fact Mr Chandra went from $10 billion in his account to 3-year jail spell in just a few months.
    5. Elizabeth Holmes © Instagram/ Elizabeth Holmes
    Elizabeth Holmes had a heavenly destiny when it came to money back then. The high profile star of Silicon Valley also fell prey to bankruptcy. She used to run a blood-testing company that raised $6 billion dollars. But since the stars are not always shining, the prospective billionaire went broke within no time. The company basically wanted to revolutionise the way patients are treated. Theranos, her company suffered a major loss as concerns were shown by the Food and Drug administration posing risks for the patients.

    The company soon shut its doors and Holmes with along with her business partner was charged for fraud.Β 
    6. Allen Stamford © Reuters
    Allen Stamford happens to be another fraudster who went from becoming a billionaire to going broke. Once living a high profile life with lavish parties and sports events, the chairman of now-defunct Stanford Financial Group of Companies, estimated to have done fraud of around $7 billion dollars. His money came from the Texas oil boom and the real estate business. But, authorities found out that he was doing a massive Ponzi scheme and he was raided for the fraud committed.

    He was accused of money laundering and the claims were rife, to which he later surrendered on June 18, 2009, and was found guilty, resulting in a 110-year prison sentence. Now, that's your whole life behind bars!

    We are too privileged to complain about the real hardships of this lockdown but many people have been impacted by the pandemic beyond human expectations. A large chunk of people who are away from home and are living without the supply of essentials as they are out of work are trying to survive. The daily wagers are extremely affected by the Coronavirus outbreak as the virus has forced as many as five million migrant workers to return to their hometowns. Many of these daily wagers couldnΓ’t go back to their respective houses due to the lockdown. In such a grim situation Prakash Raj came to rescue as many such workers. He didnΓ’t only provide monetary help to these workers but also gave them essentials along withΒ  providing them with food and shelter at his farm.

    He took to his Twitter saying, Γ’Thank u @KTRTRS @TelanganaDGP for the safe passage ..44 days of sheltering them n sharing my farm ..IΓ’m gonna miss them... learned a lot from their stories of life n love ..im proud as a fellow citizen that I didnΓ’t let them down .and I instilled hope n celebrated sharing .. bliss.Γ’

Prakash Raj felt grateful to have spent this time with these people and also thanked them for sharing stories of life and love with him. In his posts on Twitter, he also expressed that he is proud of himself to be able to help the needy during difficult times and considers himself lucky for being able to share these moments with them.Β

    Γ’ Prakash Raj (@prakashraaj) May 4, 2020 Not only this, he also donated groceries to the needy and the medical workers amid this crisis. In one of his initiatives he also fed the stray animals and proved that he is a kind soul. Many of us need to take inspiration from him and do what we all can at an individual level!

    For someone who was away from the Octagon for over a year, Conor McGregor showed no signs of slowing down as he cut Donald Cerrone a sorry figure at UFC 246 earlier this January.Β 
    'The Notorious' defeated a hapless Cerrone via a technical knockout, just 40 seconds into the first round. The comeback win made McGregor the first UFC fighter to hold knockout finishes in the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight divisions.
    Since then, owing to the Coronavirus outbreak and suspension of sporting activities, McGregor has only grabbed headlines for his relief efforts. Making use of social media platforms, the Irish lad has not only raised awareness as to how to counter the virus, but also donated 1 million euros worth of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for frontline workers in hospitals.
    Countless sports stars have stepped up during this pandemic, none more so than @TheNotoriousMMA

    Donating Γ’Β¬1m of PPE for frontline workers in hospitals.

    Holding government officials & business leaders to account to protect Irish people.

    Talks the talk.
    Walks the walk.
    Γ’ Adam Catterall (@AdamCatterall) April 12, 2020
    However, with the fighters returning back into action to take part in UFC 249, McGregor, too, has returned back to his old ways, targetting fellow competitors on social media. While everyone is looking forward to Saturday's interim lightweight title bout between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje, McGregor tried to mock Dustin Poirier.
    © Twitter
    Taking a dig at Poirer, McGregor expressed his frustration at being ranked below the American lightweight fighter in UFC rankings.Β 

    "How is the pea ahead of me in rankings? I sparked him in 90 seconds. Went further against most recent foe, plus took a round. After two year layoff partying and or in jail/court. What a weird little game you guys play. I'll bide my time for now but watch this space. All bums," McGregor tweeted, only to delete it later.
    Because I've been fighting real contenders and you've been hand picking opponents. https://t.co/lKWNYachoa
    Γ’ The Diamond (@DustinPoirier) May 7, 2020
    But, for someone who is known for speaking his mind, McGregor should have known that there is no such thing as 'deleting' on social media.Β 

    Despite deleting the tweet, McGregor couldn't stop netizens from circulating his comments and, soon, invited a response from Poirier. In a cheeky response to the Irishman, Poirier tweeted: "Because I've been fighting real contenders and you've been hand picking opponents".
    I accept your challenge, Oscar de la Hoya.
    Γ’ Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 7, 2020
    Well, Poirier wasn't the only one McGregor was paying attention to, the UFC fighter also took Oscar de la Hoya to the task on Twitter. Responding to retired boxing champion De La Hoya's comments that he could beat the UFC star in two rounds, McGregor tweeted: "I accept your challenge, Oscar de la Hoya".
    For someone who has not fought professionally in more than a decade since retiring with a 39-6 record, De La Hoya minced no words when asked about how heΓ’d fare in a hypothetical boxing match against McGregor.Β 
    "Oh come on, brother. Two rounds. One thing about me is I went for the kill, always. Look, Conor McGregor -- I love him in the Octagon, I respect him, I watch him all the time. But the boxing ring is a whole different story, it's a whole different story," De La Hoya had said on the 'State of Combat' podcast.
