    Thanks to novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the world is reaping all possible benefits of living in the age of social media. Amid travel restrictions, quarantine camps and lockdowns, social media has emerged as a desperate attempt for people to keep their sanity and overcome frustration while staying indoors.
    Ever since the deadly virus brought the world to a standstill, people across the globe have found refuge in social media that continues to throw viral challenges to keep everyone occupied and equally entertained. After the likes of 'Toilet Paper Challenge' and 'Stay-At-Home Challenge', another trend has gripped social media and its users.
    Enough pressure & public demand. Here's my #MeAt20.

    Taking social media by storm in the past 24 hours, the new '#MeAt20 Challenge' has already witnessed several celebrities taking it up. The latest social media fad, similar to the '10-year Challenge' in the past, shows the users sharing the pictures of their younger, 20-year-old selves.

    From Bollywood celebrities to even cricket icons, everyone has been having a gala time. But, while people embrace nostalgia on social media, let's go down the memory lane to revist the old cricketing gods we worshipped while growing up.

    A law student, who broke into the Sri Lankan side at the age of 22, Kumar Sangakkara was destined to achieve greatness in international cricket. Arguably one of the few cricketers who looked graceful in their batting, the left-hander eased into his strokes with elegance which hinted that he was cut from a different cloth.

    Making his debut in 2000, Sangakkara matured steadily as a batsman and soon emerged as one of the vital cogs in the Sri Lankan batting order. Apart from his batting, Sangakkara's wicket-keeping skills, depite not being one for the purists, also helped him in establishing himself as one of Sri Lanka's greatest cricketers of all-time.
    Whether it was his batting skills, impressive glovework or ability to lead the side, Sangakkara was one of the few skilled cricketers who managed to become an all-time great. With over 594 international appearances for Sri Lanka, Sangakkara proved his credentials of an all-time great and captured the imagination of fans with 28,016 runs across formats.

    For years, speeding and fiery bowlers from the West Indies ruled the charts for their impeccable fast-bowling skills. But, in the late 90s, Australia gave the world a new fast-bowling hero in Brett Lee. A bowler who could easily reach speeds close to 160kmph, Lee exercised great control over the line and length of his deliveries to make the task even more difficult for opposition batsmen.

    Arriving on the international circuit in 1999, Lee made an immediate impact by taking five wickets at the MCG against India. Competing with another speedster in that era, Shoaib Akhtar, Lee was probably helped by the former's knack for getting entangled in controversies that eventually denied him the glory he truly deserved.
    Charging in from a long run-up, bowling at sensational speeds and leaping high in the air to celebrate the dismissals, Lee was an embodiment of everything a fast bowler was expected to be. Adding to the popularity was also his smooth and silky hair, and not to mention, his wide smile. It's needless to say that everytime a kid raced in to bowl in a candid game of gully cricket, we bet he had Lee in his mind.

    The world of cricket has witnessed numerous batsmen who've captured the imagination of fans on the back of their artistry with the willow. But, there remains some who did so with disdain. At a time, when someone like Chris Gayle was yet to arrive on the international circuit, Herschelle Gibbs was undeniably one of the most destructive batsmen around.

    Making his debut in 1996, Gibbs went on to become one of the most feared batsmen, batting at the top. But, his striking ability never got affected by his batting position. From cutting fast bowlers for a six, driving fiery bouncers down the ground for fours to effortlessly pulling the ball off the front-foot, Gibbs ensured there was never a dull moment till the time he was on crease.
    His most memorable knock came at the Wanderers in 2006 when he slammed a sensational 111-ball 175 to help South Africa chase down the unbelievable total of 434 runs and seal the ODI series win against Australia. It was innings like those that saw youngsters idolising Gibbs and cherishing his unique style of batting. And, if it wasn't for his run-ins with controversies later in his career, Gibbs would have probably had a greater fan-following.
    Daniel Vettori © Reuters
    In an era, where the likes of Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble had already stamped their authority in spin bowling, Daniel Vettori was busy carving his own niche on the international circuit. Making his debut in 1997, Vettori became the youngest man to play Test cricket for New Zealand at the age of just 18.

    His ability to drift the ball and back it up with subtle variations in flight, speed and length quickly earned him a reputation as New Zealand's most dangerous spinner. It was the mix of his impeccable spin-bowling skills that often confused the batsmen and turned the innocuous deliveries into unplayable rippers.
    But, Vettori's efficiency and contribution to the New Zealand brigade wasn't just restricted to his spin bowling. Apart from spinning a web around the opposition batsmen, Vettori was also more than handy with the willow lower down the order. In fact, he is one of only eight players to have managed the double of 300 Test wickets and 3000 runs in the longest format. And, his bearded look paired with elegant spectacles further made him one of the highly sought after cricketers amongst fans in those days.
    Sachin Tendulkar © Reuters
    Over the years, the world of cricket has witnessed numerous stars who've managed to capture the imagination of fans and etch their respective names in the history books, owing to their success on the field. But, no one comes close to the stature or popularity of great Sachin Tendulkar.

    His perfect balance and precision in stroke-making didn't just help the 'Master Blaster' to terrorise the opposition bowlers, but also allowed him to be looked upon as a case study for budding talents across the globe. 
    But, his greatness wasn't derived from his exploits on the field alone. The right-hander's batting genius was backed by a calm and composed demeanour, both on and off the field, which is why he continues to be an adept role model, seven years after his retirement.

    As affected countries struggle to look after its growing medical needs and care for its people amid the Coronavirus outbreak, thousands of responsible citizens are stepping forward to support the government with its financial crunch at this time of crisis.

    However, there needs to be a special mention of one segment of the society who deserve extra protection and care from the deadly virus. 

    The senior citizens of our country, who have spent their youth serving our nation in their own way and deserve to spend their old age free of any worries. But alas, Coronavirus wouldnât let these old folks live in peace.
    But like the true ladies and gentlemen that they are, even today they have stepped up to offer their support to their motherland and offered their precious savings to aid Indiaâs fight against COVID-19. 
    These 5 senior citizens gave up the money they needed to survive old age in a bid to help those who need the money more urgently:
    1. Subhash Chandra Banerjee © Twitter - MrMotilalOswal
    Mr Banerjee recently became the talk of the town when people in Kolkata claimed that no corporate can match the retired professorâs donation towards the Coronavirus relief fund.

    82-year-old Mr Banerjee lives alone in his flat near the Dum Dum airport and survives on his monthly pension. 
    However, recently he waved to the patrolling officers in his locality and upon their arrival told them that he wished to donate Rs 10,000 to PM Cares Fund, which he saved from his pension money.

    â Motilal Oswal (@MrMotilalOswal) April 19, 2020
    Mr Banerjee also added that he would have liked to give more, but could only manage so much since a major chunk of his pension goes into arranging his medication. 
    So, it is indeed true, no corporate donation would match this one.

    87-year-old Khalida Begum from Jammu & Kashmir had saved a good sum of money for her Hajj tour. However, amid the COVID-19 outbreak she felt the money needed to be put to much greater use. 

    That is when, impressed by the relief work being carried out by RSS-affiliated âSewa Bhartiâ, Khalida Begum decided to donate her entire savings of Rs 5 lakh to help those in need.

    Any team that is led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, be it the Indian national team of the Chennai Super Kings side during the Indian Premier League, is used to working under a calm and composed captain.
    The man somehow manages to show no expressions and his hands never tremble under âdo or dieâ situations, well maybe not during the 2019 World Cup, but you get the point. So on those extremely rare occasions when âCaptain Coolâ loses it, just like any of us, his fans seem to take their time processing what just happened.
    Here are five moments when MS Dhoni lost his cool but the spectators couldnât believe it: 
    1. âOh Bh*sdike Idhar Dekh Leâ
    If Virat Kohli would have said something like this, it probably wouldnât even have made the headlines but when you hear someone like MS Dhoni abusing and that too his own teammate (Manish Pandey), it definitely shocked a lot of people who couldnât believe their ears.
    2. Angry At The Right Decision By The Umpires
    During a 2012 ODI between India and Australia, the third-umpire messed up and declared Michael Hussey out after Dhoni had stumped him despite the replays showing his foot was behind the crease. Once the officials clarified that it was âa malfunctionâ and asked the Aussie to return to the crease, Dhoni was livid. For someone who invited Englandâs Ian Bell to bat after he was wrongfully given a run-out, losing his cool over something like this was highly unlikely. 
    3. IPL Walkover
    In the final over of an IPL match between CSK and Rajasthan Royals last season, straight umpire Ulhas Gandhe called a no-ball on a Ben Stokes delivery but quickly took it back once CSK players took a couple of runs. When Ravindra Jadeja started arguing with the officials, Dhoni walked over the boundary line and came to argue with them while pointing a finger at him. Even though the umpires messed it up big time, for Dhoni to enter the field and show such aggression was uncharacteristic of him.
    4. Taking Deepak Chaharâs Class
    In 2019, Deepak Chahar was playing under the leadership of Dhoni but in the yellow CSK uniform. The skipper trusted him with the 19th over in a very close match but the pacer screwed up and bowler two back to back no-balls. Soon enough, Chahar could be seen with his hands behind his back and head bowed down, listening to Thala go at it. 
    5. âMain Pagal Hoonâ¦â Giving Kuldeep Yadav A Lesson © Reuters
    Recently, Kuldeep Yadav relived the day he got to hear a ear-full when he ignored his captainâs command and didnât change the fielding after getting slammed by Sri Lankaâs Kusal Perera. On the next ball, Perera smashed yet another delivery by the Chinaman and Dhoni wasnât having any more of it. He yelled at the spinner from behind the stumps: ââMain pagal hu? 300 one-day khela hu, aur samjha raha hu yahan peâ.â

    Most of us probably already know about the many ways in which Facebook is tracking us almost all the time. But what you may not realize is the extent of this so-called "tracking". Facebook is so big now that it even has access to the data about the websites you visit, apps and services you use on a daily basis either on your phone or your computer, places you visit, and more.
    The worst thing about this whole Facebook activity tracking is the fact that you're being tracked even when you're not essentially "online" or actively using your phone or your computer. Heck, you're probably sending some stuff over to Facebook right now as you're reading this story here.
    © Reuters
    The depths of Facebook's activity tracking is quite scary. Here are many ways in which Facebook is tracking you, and what you can do to stop it -

    Check Facebook SettingsFacebook is tracking all the data and information about you for only one reason - advertisement. That's how Facebook makes its money. It's literally using your data to serve you ads and make money. Is the data spilling over outside Facebook? Yes, and that's exactly why it's important to take control of the thing that you're sharing.
    The easiest way to do it is by going to Facebook's "Settings" page and go through the things that you're sharing with Facebook. They're probably sharing your info like the places you check in to, groups you join, people you interact and more.
    © Reuters
    While you can't completely stop Facebook from collecting your data, you can certainly limit its access. Just head over to the ads preferences option in Facebook Settings and get a quick glance at what Facebook thinks you're into.

    You can also head over to Ad settings and stop marketing partners from putting more ads in front of you. You can stop that by restricting Facebook from sharing your data with them. This will not reduce the number of ads you see, but it'll at least stop putting more relevant ads in front of you, so you probably won't click on it and end up spending your money on something that you think you need.
    Off-Facebook ActivityIs it really surprising to learn that Facebook continues to track you even when you're "Off-Facebook"? Well, yes, it does. For instance, if you order food using one of the food delivery apps, you may start seeing more food-delivery apps on your Facebook feed. Similarly, if you browse for, say, furniture online, you'll start seeing furniture ads on Facebook.
    © MensXP
    Sadly, you're unknowingly sharing all this data with Facebook even if you don't have a Facebook account. It's because tools like the Facebook Pixel enable websites and online retailers to get information that eventually gets shared with Facebook.

    If you don't have a Facebook account, you can limit some of that web activity by going here. But in case you have a Facebook account, then you can head to Settings on Facebook and click on "Off-Facebook Activity" to see the services and apps that are sharing your data with Facebook even if you're not active on the platform.
    Facebook Activity on Mobile DevicesIf you're using Facebook on your mobile phone, then you need to check the app permissions immediately. Of course, this isn't going to stop Facebook from collecting data, but it'll definitely limit its reach. You need to head over to your phone's settings and block Facebook's access to the phone's location, your contacts, your phone's microphone, camera and more.
    Yes, Facebook has access to all of that unless you paid some attention to the permissions while installing the app. Even with location turned off, Facebook can still identify your location with the help of IP address. So, if you're really concerned about it, then you might want to use a VPN service while using Facebook. But at this point, you might as well stop using it altogether instead of going through all this.
    Just uninstall Facebook from your phone and use it on the phone's browser to save yourself from some of the trackings. You might want to check out your browser settings as well because a lot of websites are accessing your data without your consent.
    Look, you can't stop Facebook from accessing your data. That's the deal you agreed to while signing up for Facebook the very first time many years ago when none of this was a big deal. But you can follow some of the things mentioned above to limit the extent of its reach.

    For people, who are not with their families at such a crucial time, the whole lockdown scenario is definitely not in their favour and there seems to be no way in which one can go back home, amid all the restrictions that have been imposed.
    Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's father, Mr Bisht who was diagnosed with kidney problem and was undergoing treatment at the gastroenterology department, passed away today.

    To this, Yogi Adityanath responded and said that he will not be attending his father's funeral since he is bound to his work and wants the state to stay safe during such times. In a statement, the chief said that he is truly saddened by the death of his father. He wanted to be with him during his last days, but couldn't as he also has to protect 23 Crore people who reside in Uttar Pradesh. He further added that the funeral will be held tomorrow and appealed to his mother and his relatives to follow the lockdown protocol while attending the funeral.

    Even after getting the news, Yogi Adityanath did not stop focussing on the meeting and the discussion went on. Director of information, Mr Shishir said "Despite getting the sad news, he continued with the meeting, and got up only after giving necessary directions to the officials. Even after getting the news of the demise of his father, the chief minister went ahead with the meeting for almost 45 minutes,"
    The news of his father breathing his last came to him in midst of the meeting . Unfazed by the news @myogiadityanath stood up only after completing the meeting on COVID-19.
    â Shishir (@ShishirGoUP) April 20, 2020 Several ministers have expressed their condolences and others have also lauded Yogi Ji on being dedicated to his work.

    For stoners all around the world, this month is nothing short of historic. 
    April 2020 - itâll be a hundred years before weâll see 4/20 on non-American calendars again, and as Americans in legal states such as California line up outside marijuana dispensaries in socially-distanced queues, pot has been a companion of choice for many to keep up with the boredom and isolation faced behind closed doors.
    Things are a little different for Indians, however. With the barely-legal status of cannabis, strict lockdown measures and conservative rules at home, several nashedis have had to drastically change the way they get high - or give up the habit altogether, willingly and otherwise.
    The Ones Who Stocked Up © Unsplash
    Iâm going to be frank here - while I was initially part of this group, the temptation to light one (or three) up during Janta curfew was far too much, and ever since, Iâve dwindled away my rations like a certain rum-greedy pirate.


    via GIPHY
    For 24-year-old Mumbai-based copywriter SP, things were a little more thought out. âBefore the lockdown. I bought enough to last me a month or two so I haven't gotten back in touch with him yet,â she shares, regarding her dealer. âI hope heâs okay,â she adds.
    SPâs solution to keeping the party going at home is to rely on planning and rationing out her smoke sessions through the lockdown. âI hope I don't have to go clean,â she admits, concerned about the potential length of the quarantine period. âI think I can sustain my stash for a while. I've just been smoking less frequently. You can count that as a change of habit.â
    Personally, getting high at home is fun but potentially frustrating - if you choose to rely on ganja to spice up your free time, it may get repetitive with limitations on what you can do, and before going clean, my post-puff routine involved rotating through activities such as video games, playing the guitar, meditating and when the boredom got too intense, simply getting chores done with a good playlist in the background. 
    Not everyoneâs that fickle, though. âThere isn't much to do with the lockdown on,â continues SP âSo the smoke sessions are now more special than ever. Music pairs well with marijuana. There's no way I'm ever getting bored with the two around.â Despite this, she admits that she misses sharing sessions with friends - although tagging along with the recent upsurge in video calls and live streams, sheâs scheduled sessions with close stoner buddies, some of whom live in distant time zones.
    âThere's a stoner song that goes - âSometimes the only way to get by is to get high," she concludes.

    While a good deal of us live in solitude or share a home with like-minded roommates, personal freedom is something we take for granted - just ask anyone whoâs stuck with family or in a hostel during the shutdown.

    SB, a 21-year-old Mumbaikar has found her own ways to cope with these restrictions and amusingly enough, itâs even legal. âI use weed (bhaang) golis,â she shares, referring to the commonly available cannabis consumables that make a countrywide comeback every Holi. 
    âThey're basically edibles. Pretty convenient since I just have to pop it in my mouth and swallow with water like any normal medicine, and nobody suspects anything if I act weird because there's no smell.â 
    While this convenient candy-sized option allows SB the freedom to get baked undercover, living with family does pose some unavoidable challenges.
    âI think the only downside is that there's limited freedom since there's family around,â she admits. âI sometimes get twitchy/wiggly when I'm high and it's a lot of fun letting loose and let my body go into snake-mode! But since I'm around family, I can only enjoy the mental aspect of the high, I have to suppress the physical sensations, which is a little disappointing and makes the high slightly boring, or rather not as exciting as usual.â
    Despite this, SB's seen value in creative and cinematic experiences - particularly in practising her artwork and enjoying the stunning cinematography of Moving Art or animated classics by Hayao Miyazaki. âI always enjoyed these things while stoned but rarely actually did them since I usually stoned with friends before lockdown happened, she shared. 

    With the lockdown being her first experience with exploring her own thoughts in relative solitude. âIn fact, even if I'm feeling like a loner stoner, it's still nice zoning out in silence with my friends around, having their chatter as a background to my thoughts. I've also started meditating and realised that very often I used weed as a way to meditate because it was a nice excuse to get lost in my own head without having to make a conscious decision of sitting down to do brain-stuff. It's fascinating.â
    No More Nashe © Unsplash
    And finally, we arrive at a situation thatâs becoming more common day by day - running out of stash, a problem stoners sometimes refer to as âdankruptcyâ. 

    While mine was mostly self-imposed, owing to less-than-ideal sleep cycles and a tendency to get too easily distracted, filmmaker MK, 24 has found himself between a rock and a hard place - stuck under lockdown while travelling, with no dealers around.
    I usually smoke 2-3 times a day,â he shares. âI am in a unique situation as I got locked down in a country where I have no access to any dealers, and the lockdown happened so fast that I didnât have any time to make the connections to get any sorted.â This dry spell has resulted in a strange change for M.K. - his âneed for weedâ translating into dreams.
    âTo tell you the truth it hasnât been that bad. I do have dreams that I am smoking big blunts and others where I try to score but ultimately leads to disappointment⦠reminding me of my current situation when I wake up.â
    As a regular stoner, MKâs daily routine usually involved smoking up at regular intervals through the day. âI was getting high often enough that I didnât have a particular activity, but Iâd say going for walks and ***/masturbation were a common pastime while high. One good thing about this lockdown though,â he admits, âis that I have become far more active - those walks have turned into runs now.â
    Despite making it a common habit, this unscheduled break revealed to M.K. some of the downfalls of smoking, having taken a step back and completing over a month sober. âIt gets extremely repetitive,â he cautions. 
    âI think the only way to keep things fresh is to make sure that you donât make it a habit, which is so hard since itâs so f*cking good.â
    Can't argue with that, bud.

    Have you ever been to a shop where you saw the sign âIf Broken, Considered Sold?â Well, it seems the Chinese government just got a taste of that very medicine.
    © Twitter/memelord
    As per an article by the English daily newspaper, The Daily Express, Germany has sent a bill to the Chinese Government for all the loses that the European country had to put up with because of the novel Coronavirus. 
    © Reuters
    No matter where one stands on the virusâ origin, whether it was manmade or it originated in the wet markets of Wuhan, one cannot deny the haphazard manner in which the Chinese state authorities have handled the outbreak and the manner in which it tried to cover up certain facts, and at times straight-up lied, both to its citizens and international regulatory bodies.
    © Reuters
    Naturally, the world right now is not looking at China with a favourable lens. Nevertheless, that anger and frustration could not be taken as the excuse of the racial bigotry and xenophobia that has been observed to becomes the norm. 
    People with mongoloid facial features all over the world have been targeted, abused and attacked. 
    Delhi man spat at Manipur girl shouting Corona. If you think that this is unacceptable, can you stop addressing North Easterners as Chinki, Momo etc and stop your friends from doing same, if applicable?#NoToRacism #Respect #NorthEast #NoChinki #India pic.twitter.com/obj0uXcfem
    â Raaj Biswas (@xploreraj) March 23, 2020 The Germans, though, have a different way of doing things. 
    Instead of indulging in idiotic and xenophobic rhetorics, a German national daily, which goes by the name Bild has come up with an itemised bill or invoice as to what the Republic of China owes to Germany.
    © Twitter/Disclose.tv
    The bill has broken pretty much everything down - losses from tourism, losses from the film industry, losses from small business, and losses from airlines, among other things. 
    The bill comes up to be 149 Billion Euros, which we converted into Indian Rupees, just for fun. In Indian Rupees, the figure stands at Rs 1,24,15,00,00,00,000. For those of us who had to pay a little extra attention at school during maths classes, Thatâs Rs1.24 Lakh-Crore.
    © Reuters
    As big and as hefty as these figures are, they represent something significant. 
    According to the article, Germany is the fourth country after the UK, France, and the USA in calling out the actions of the Chinese state authorities.  
    © Reuters
    The invoice, which wasnât a government document, but what a newspaper has put together, actually, has Beijing riled up, and furious, with Chinese state authorities calling the move to be xenophobic, and an action that instils nationalistic pride in the wrong way. 

    © Reuters
    However, given how the Asian community has been attacked in North America and Europe, and how people with mongoloid facial features are being targeted, we think the Chinese state authorities might want to look up the word 'xenophobia' in a dictionary.
    If only there was a way to communicate with them. Perhaps over Twitter? Oh right, sorry, they donât have Twitter in China...

    With over $13 billion in pharmaceutical exports annually, itâs no surprise that India, being Asiaâs biggest medicine manufacturer, has played a key role in helping the global community during the virus - one that even the UN representatives have deemed worthy of a âsaluteâ.
    As one of the worldâs main manufacturers of Hydroxychloroquine - a drug with anti-COVID 19 potential thatâs currently being tested on 1,500 patients in New York - Indiaâs recent decision to lift export bans might just help save thousands of lives across the globe as we have initiated the delivery of medical payloads to 55 countries from the worldâs richest to some of the most disadvantaged.
    © Reuters
    Here are some of the major efforts India has made to help strengthen international bonds during the medical crisis.

    1. United States © Reuters
    Just barely a month after President Trumpâs visit to India, the United States has suffered from one of the worst crises to ever hit its shores, with over 41,000 casualties and counting as hospitals struggle to keep up with the inflow of Coronavirus patients.

    Thankfully for the US, Trumpâs ironclad relationship with Prime Minister Modi has paid off - with negotiations resulting in the aforementioned release of Hydroxychloroquine. 
    In the first week of April, the US sanctioned a deal with India to the tune of over 29 million units of the drug to help combat its COVID-19 woes.
    2. Seychelles © Reuters
    With 11 confirmed cases and two released patients, thereâs certainly trouble in paradise for the tiny island nation, who received its first cases from Italian and Dutch travellers back in March. 

    The countryâs economy heavily relies on tourism, resulting in tough times for the local government, who began their own 21-day travel lockdown last week.
    As of 15th April, India has delivered an Air India freight carrying four tonnes of medical supplies and potentially lifesaving equipment to Seychellesâ Victoria Airport. 
    President Danny Faure responded in earnest, saying âOur relationship is based on a profound understanding and appreciation of each other's concerns. Seychelles and India are friends and partners, standing together to face common challenges. This exceptional mark of goodwill represents the value ascribed to this close friendship.â 
    PM Modi also expressed his good faith in a follow-up tweet.
    3. South Africa © Reuters
    Africa as a whole has been hit with over 10,000 diagnosed cases of COVID-19 and the numbers are only expected to rise in the face of poor infrastructure and equipment levels. 

    Speaking to The Financial Express, Prof. Ajay Dubey, Chair for the Centre for African Studies, JNU, says âUnder Coronavirus Crisis (CVC) African countries eagerly look towards their friendly countries including India. India has been a major exporter of pharmaceutical products in Africa, especially in the Eastern African region. Besides this, India also supports African countries in the health sector through its various projects under India Africa Forum Summits (IAFS). The telemedicine project of India is spread in different parts of the African continent.â
    India has decided to champion this cause by committing to large relief efforts across the continent, with a particular focus on long term ally South Africa. 
    In a recent tweet, PM Modi shared Indiaâs intent to help assist the 55 member countries of the African Union with medical supplies on 17th April. This came up post-discussion with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, after which PM Modi called the Union a âlong-standing friendâ.
    4. Bhutan © Reuters
    Timed almost perfectly alongside Indiaâs lockdown extension announcement, Bhutan has followed in Indiaâs footsteps by lengthening its lockdown period. With no deaths reported yet and only 5 confirmed cases, itâs still very early in Bhutanâs fight against the virus. 

    However, Indiaâs neighbour has shown incredible quick-thinking and responsiveness by introducing quarantine zones and sanitisers in every village - the former made out of renewable materials such as bamboo.
    PM Modi praised these initiatives in a recent tweet after reaching out to Bhutan PM Dr Lotay Tshering - who has expressed his thanks and regards. 
    India has placed Bhutan on the fast track for its Coronavirus medical aid efforts - it will be one of the first 13 countries to receive emergency medical supplies from us.
    5. Serbia © Wikimedia
    A key player and valued EU member, Serbia has been hit fairly hard by the virus, with over 6,000 cases and 120+ deaths so far. 

    Through the EUâs sponsorship, the Balkan nation secured a deal with India for much-needed medical supplies to the tune of 90 tonne worth of protective gear - although social media rose in protest against what they felt was an unnecessary diversion of critical resources. 
    Speaking to Mint, ambassador Vladimir Maric dismissed these claims, explaining that most of the shipment was for medical gloves, of which India has plenty. 
    âTrue friends stand together during difficult times and we are grateful to the government of India for facilitating this shipment from the administrative side. We also hope to benefit from vast Indian expertise in medicine and pharmacology in our common fight against COVID-19," Maric said.
    With more countries joining the fold, itâs a proud feeling to see India take up the lead in Asian relief efforts - strengthening both cross-border relationships and political clout.

    Most of the countries across the world are on a total lockdown due to the Coronavirus outbreak and workaholics are the most impacted by this lockdown. While many people continue working from home, anyone running a business is under the stress of not being able to earn a single dime and above all, being caged at home. These are the ones who are easily bored and are addicted to working long hours and are losing their minds sitting at home.

    © Reuters
    Recently, a businessman from Moscow decided to take up a low-paying, but physically active job of delivering meals amid the Coronavirus outbreak as he was bored sitting at home. Sergey Nochovnyy, 38, said that he joined a delivery company as he wanted to look at things from a different perspective and get outdoors during the lockdown as there is a restriction of movement.

    © Reuters
    So, he ended up taking a job thatâll allow him to move around for his work. The authorities of Moscow have asked the people of non-vital industries to stay at home to fight the Coronavirus. And just like India, people can only go outside to buy groceries and medicines. Also, the lockdown spurred the demand for delivery jobs and thatâs when Sergey decided to take up one. The 38- year-old businessman said that he walks around 20 Kms a day to deliver food. The businessman who returned to Russia last year after spending 12 years in china, now makes around  $13-20 a day as a deliveryman.

    © Twitter_AP
    He was earlier making approximately $2 million a year with his consulting business. However, he took the job as the job offers physical activity as thatâs what he was missing amid the lockdown. He is actually an inspiration for all millennials out there. We hope that we win over the pandemic and people can go back to work as they did before the lockdown but right now staying indoors is equivalent to staying safe!

    Shah Rukh Khan's online presence can be summed up in one line - he's not a regular dad, he's a cool dad.
    One of King Khan's best quality is, of course, his humour, along with his wit, and it's just great that thanks to social media, we get a more personal approach to celebrities and sometimes even interact with them. Since everyone is under lockdown as of now, it also gives celebs an opportunity to talk to fans as no one has a busy schedule right now.
    So, since SRK was probably 'bored in the house and in the house bored', he decided to conduct an #askSRK session and honestly, it's a blessing since his answers are always so hilarious and honest.
    He even started out with a funny tweet, this man is just great.

    Ok itâs a good idea. Letâs do #AskSRK but not too long please because I have to go and do....nothing...for a bit before I do some more of it later. Letâs begin...please use the hashtag.
    â Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) April 20, 2020

    There's one answer that's actually very respectable. Someone asked him how to quit smoking and instead of preaching something typical, he just chose the honest option.

    Eh...you are looking for answers in the wrong place my friend. Best of luck with your endeavour. https://t.co/pl4Kgu4Jmh

    For someone who was was cut from a football team and lived in Florida with only $7 in his pocket, Dwayne Johnson, popularly known as 'The Rock, has now become one of the most inspiring success stories for the youth. 

    Born into a family of pro wrestlers, it was only a matter of time for Johnson to follow in the footsteps of his parents, but no one could have anticipated where the young lad would eventually reach in the years to come. 
    © Reuters
    Making his debut in World Wrestling Federation (WWF), rechristened as WWE later, in 1996, the budding wrestler had his own share of struggles initially. But, under the tutelage of his idol Bret 'The Hitman' Hart, the youngster embarked on a journey that eventually took him to the pinnacle of pro wrestling. 

    Winning his first WWF Championship in 1998, 'The Rock' played a key role in helping the WWF usher into the 'Attitude Era' - a boom period in the company's business in the late 90s and early 2000s which still holds professional wrestling records for TV ratings. In 2004, he left WWE to pursue an acting career and went on a seven-year hiatus before returning as a part-time performer in 2011. 
    © Instagram
    He eventually announced his retirement from WWE for good in 2019 but by the time he was done, 'The Rock' had established himself as one of the greatest professional wrestlers and biggest draws of all-time. Today, he is not only a wrestling legend but also a successful actor, producer and businessman. 

    With an estimated net worth of over $300 million, 'The Rock' has pretty much everything one can dream of. Thanks to his massive fanbase, he is also making an absolute killing on social media. According to the Instagram Richlist for 2019, the 47-year-old earns a whopping $882,000 (Rs 6,73,73,775) per post. 
    While a lot of celebrities have their own ways of monetising their posts, the success mantra for 'The Rock' is pretty simple: be yourself.

    Owing to the Coronavirus lockdown, we all are staying at home with no connection with the outside world. Well, all the streets are empty and you get to see more animals than human faces. Amitabh Bachchan is also missing the days when he used to see âecstatic wild faces and mobiles recording the momentâ outside his home during his 'Sunday Darshan' ritual.  
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@amitabhbachchan)

    Last night, he wrote, âThe Sunday does not mean the same as before .. waiting for the time to arrive .. the security in place .. that familiar sound of the step board being dragged into position .. that familiar scream of the well-wishers at the gate as each domestic entrant enters and leaves premises .. of the knowing that âheâ comes .. and then IT.â

    He further added, âecstatic wild faces and mobiles recording the moment .. those smiling hands and the designated positioning of the ef that shall eventually find space inside the home .. moments of connect with the familiar and the informed Ef .. the ones on the buildings ahead .. precariously positioned at vantage points .. the cheer and laments, the letters of recommendations, the out of the country guests .. numerous gift s and handicrafts from the near that have come within .. photographs .. return wave at the opposite balcony as you walk in the front door.â
