    Amidst the Coronavirus lockdown in India, we are all practising social-distancing by staying at home. Even celebrities on Instagram, with each post, remind us to stay at home and stay safe. 
    But amid the lockdown, celebrities are also finding new and creative ways to engage with their audience. Sometimes, this means sharing more of their lives on social media than ever before, not that we're complaining.

    Being a part of Bollywood often means that taking care of your body comes above anything else. Even in the lockdown, celebrities are not letting go of their healthy habits of working out every day, in fact, they're not shying away from posting their work-out routines or post-workout glow-up images to inspire their fan base.

    For instance, Anil Kapoor took to Instagram to inspire his audience to start working out despite the challenges that people can face in home-quarantine. 
    In fact, we feel that these persistent workouts are the reason why he looks like a 27-year-old in real life. Here, take a look at his post.

    If you swipe right, you'll find a series of Anil Kapoor's post-workout images with motivational quotes that he believes him. And as you'll read them, it'll almost feel like he's saying it himself.

    It all starts with a quote that encourages you to be authentic with yourself.

    Then, he goes on to tell you that it is these hurdles in life that make it interesting.

    He concludes by telling you that one should never give up.


    We think that this is the perfect quarantine fitness motivation on the internet right now.

    Calling a remake of a game the 'greatest game of this generation' is quite bold and sometimes risky, but in the case of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, that statement will hold true even after a decade. While I had played the original way back in 1997 as a child, I didn't remember the finer details of the game before I started playing the review copy of this game. The original was by far the biggest game I had ever played as a child. However the remake of the game made me remember why I loved the game in the first place. I've always been a fan of great story-telling and Square Enix hit it out of the park with their latest release. To the uninitiated, this may feel like a cash-grab since most remakes tend to be that, but Square Enix made enough changes and additions to warrant the remake a must-buy game this generation at full price.

    Remaking a game is quite ambitious, simply because fans of the franchise have many memories attached to the original. It is an enormous task to remake a game and satisfy fans of the game; which Square Enix manages to achieve easily with the reimagination of Final Fantasy 7. It's more of a modern interpretation of the classic story we love but is far more expansive when it comes to the lore. It is a faithful remake that also detaches itself from the original with much flair and grace. Every character, iconic locations is a reminder of everything that was left to the imagination way back in 1997. Every key location is instantly recognisable and it leaves you awe as modern graphics make the environments look more realistic, believable and immersive than ever before. 
    © MensXP_Square Enix
    The game follows and tells the story of Cloud Strife, a sword-for-hire mercenary that is working with an eco-terrorist/eco freedom fighter group 'Avalanche' to destroy the Mako reactors owned by the evil corporation Shinra Power Company. The company has been harnessing the power of Mako (a precious resource of the planet) and rules the region of Midgar with fascists laws and beliefs. Mako Energy is the life source for the planet and Shinra's greed for higher profit margins is killing the planet which motivates the eco-freedom fighter group to destroy reactors across the city to put an end to Shinra's abuse of the precious resource.
    While the plot of the game remains similar to the original, Square Enix has added entirely new sequences to flesh out the plot even more. For example, after blowing up the first reactor, you get to walk through the upper-city of Midgar and see how citizens react to the loss of the reactor. You see a part of the city in flames and see direct consequences of your decision to blow up the reactor. Some sequences shed more light on Avalanche's motivations and give more background on the politics of Midgar. Some sequences even have revelations that were not addressed in the original which makes this remake worth the full price. Square Enix explores many grey areas with the story this time around; making it a more compelling story than ever before.

    Having said that, some additions have been added to extend the overall gameplay time where the content is more fluff than having any relevance to the story. While these sequences aren't really important, it still was fun to play these sequences right before major climax moments. Sure, some people may find these moments annoying, however, we found it to be extra lore to soak in that was not present in the original game. 
    © MensXP_Square Enix
    To make a plot compelling, the voice acting, cut-scenes and key moments need to be executed to perfection. Square Enix managed to achieve this with great moments in the story thanks to great voice acting for characters. We originally played the game in English but could not feel the emotional connection as the voice-acting was not at par. However, in Japanese, the voice-acting takes key moments to the next level. You can feel the emotion in each dialogue and instantly get familiar with close relationships between Tifa, Barret, Wedge, Biggs, and rest of the supporting cast. There's a lot humour, romance, drama and tension between the main cast which adds to the overall plot during key moments. 
    © MensXP_Square Enix
    While the story is very engaging that kept us going, the gameplay mechanics was another factor that played a key role in wanting us to play the game non-stop. The battle system has changed from the original where it is more action-orientated than turn-based however it does amp up the difficulty at the same time. You can perform melee attacks and pause the game with the X button to get into the more strategic mode. While slowed down, you can switch between character and perform magic attacks, special abilities and assess your enemies to formulate a strategy. We advise using the “Assess materia" as the very first ability in every battle to figure out the weaknesses of your enemies. This new battle mode is highly addicting and makes you want to plan every battle you approach. What makes this battle-system work is the fact that is extremely fluid. If the new battle-system was more obtrusive, our opinion would have been entirely different. 
    © MensXP_Square Enix
    The key to beating every opponent is to figure out their weaknesses and staggering them in order to bombard them with attacks as they are unable to defend themselves. This is also applicable to bosses and sometimes you will find yourself battling for 30 minutes at times due to the complex nature of battles and the fact that bosses keep transferring changing their weaknesses with each transformation. Changing characters during battles is absolutely crucial as it gives more time for your main character to heal up. When changing to a different character, the enemy AI automatically changes focus to the character you're controlling which can be handy during intense battles. 
    Whether you are a Final Fantasy fan or not, we encourage everyone to experience the game and the story whenever they can. The game's narrative is very friendly for newcomers as well and doesn't need you to know the lore from previous games. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake may not be superior to the original due to the fact it isn't the full story and Square Enix will release is subsequent episodes sometime later. It still manages to come close and accomplishes what was expected from Square Enix. It exists alongside the original gracefully and is a must-play for every gamer who likes good stories.
    The Final Say  With beautiful graphics, immersive worlds, awesome gameplay and believable characters, Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a faithful yet bold remake of the original. It improves upon its origins and offers new experiences that make the game a faithful remake of the original. The game excels at retelling a story in a more modern setting with a great combat system that complements the overall game beautifully. With compelling voice-acting, well-directed cut-scenes and fluid gameplay, it is by far the best game of this generation yet. 
    PSA: Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, shipments of Final Fantasy 7 Remake's physical copies to India have been delayed. However, you can still grab a copy by topping up your PlayStation Wallet.

    It is obvious that people are getting bored, sitting at home all day long thanks to the lockdown due to the Coronavirus. 
    While most of us are maintaining social distancing and are at home, there are some people who just cannot control their urge to step out. There have been a few incidents wherein we have seen people step out for 'non-essential' services.
    One would assume that it is easy to be on the roads during such a time, but police across the country have come up with interesting ways in which they are punishing the violators. 
    The highlight of the pandemic is to stay safe at home and not roam around.  Here's how you would get punished if you are found breaking the lockdown rules:

    1. Squats On Roads 
    © Twitter/IPS Association
    COVIDIOTS is a term that has been coined for people flouting restrictions and with good reason. 
    Recently, the police have been asking violators to firstly admit that they broke the rule and then asking them to do squats and sit-ups on the roads. Reminds me of school days!

    2. 'Murga' Pose 
    © Twitter/IPS Association
    The Murga pose has been really famous since school days and the policemen of our country are making people do the same amidst the lockdown. 
     The Maharashtra police was seen making violators do the murga pose, which was really funny but it also helped in spreading awareness on the importance of staying home amid a lockdown.
    3. Game Of Hopscotch

    â ðð« ðð®ð§ððð¦ ðð¡ðð§ (@DrSuneem) March 23, 2020

    Even though this wasn't a punishment, the police are also making sure that people maintain social distancing while they are shopping for essential goods. 
    In Jammu and Kashmir and even in Delhi, it was noticed that there were circles drawn on the ground for people to stand in and practise social distancing when stepping out for essential shopping. That's how strict the police is at the moment.

    4. Last Resort Method 
    © Twitter/IPS Association
    "We are not mishandling them, but they have to understand the present scenario,â said the Lucknow police. 
    In a bizarre incident reported from UP, a self-styled godwoman who calls herself "Maa Aadi Shakti", was seen brandishing a sword at the police who questioned her for stepping out during a lockdown.

    This, in turn, led to a lathi-charge on the people who were a part of the gathering.

    5. 'Main Samaj Ka Dushman Hoon' 
    © Twitter/IPS Association
    Besides sit-ups and squats, the Indian police have also taken it a notch higher, by asking the violators to hold pamphlets, calling them the 'enemies of the state.' The paper read âMai samaj ka Dushman hoon. Mai Ghar pe nahi rahoonga." Now, that's something!

    6. Writing 'Sorry' 500 Times 
    © Twitter/IPS Association
    Recently, around 10 foreigners violated lockdown rules and were seen roaming around in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. They were punished on the spot and were asked to write 'sorry' 500 times for breaking the rules. 
    Well, that's how it's done, we reckon.

    Actor Sanjay Duttâs past addiction to drugs is no secret and he has never shied away from spilling out the beans about his experiences. Currently, his throwback video from one of the events on awareness about drug addiction is doing the rounds on the internet. It was a campaign called âDrug Free Indiaâ and in that, the actor shared how he was almost on the verge of dying while he was on drugs. The 60-year-old actor was all praise for his father, actor Sunil Dutt, saying that it was largely due to him that his addiction was identified and consequently subjected to treatment.  Addressing a large young crowd, he shared an anecdote from his past experience where he said that he had realised he needed help when he saw himself bleeding from his nose and mouth. He said that this happened after he slept for two days straight without even being aware of it.
    Check out the video here:

When a drug peddler again approached him again, it was his one second decision which changed his life #Throwback #drugsaddiction #viralbhayani @viralbhayaniA post shared by (@viralbhayani)
    "It was one morning, I woke up and I was very hungry. My mother had already passed away that time, and I asked my house help to give me food. He then told me that I had not eaten since the last two days as I kept sleeping. When I saw myself in the bathroom, I was on the verge of dying. I was bleeding from my nose and mouth. This made me scared, and went to my father seeking help," the actor said at the event.
    The Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, was made on his life that showed similar sequences while narrating the part of his struggle to get rid of the drug addiction. It is not everyday that we see a celebrity talk about things and failures in life which can inspire anyone to not give up a fight.

    Owing to the increasing number of coronavirus cases in the country, which has crossed the 9000 mark so far, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to make an official announcement on extension of the lockdown till April 30 tomorrow at 10 am. After requests from states to extend the current nationwide lock down, PM Modi is widely expected to announce about the lockdown extension in his address to the nation tomorrow, while also mentioning about the measures to restart the economy. 
    Prime Minister @narendramodi will address the nation at 10 AM on 14th April 2020.
    â PMO India (@PMOIndia) April 13, 2020
    According to a report in NDTV, during his meeting with 13 Chief Ministers on Saturday, Modi had agreed that a longer lockdown was necessary to fight the highly contagious virus but had talked about saving livelihoods as well as lives.
    In the meeting, he indicated that while saving lives is a priority, the economy also needs to restart. "Jaan bhi, jahaan bhi (both life and economy are important).â
    Although, it looks like people on social media are excited for different reasons altogether. On a lighter note, some of them shared memes on Bigg Bossâs next task this week.

Meanwhile industries, construction work and agriculture activities are likely to be allowed in a graded manner. India has 9,152 coronavirus cases, including 308 deaths. Telangana, Maharashtra, Punjab and Odisha, have already extended the coronavirus lockdown till April 30.

    In the current situation, the 21-day lockdown already seems to be going on for an eternity. 
    And, given that the spread of the contagion isnât going to slow down in the next couple of weeks, it will be wise if we brace ourselves for an indefinite extension of the lockdown.

    With that being said, people are already planning on how they are going to splurge on themselves, once the lockdown is lifted. And boy, do we have to say, that some of the ideas seem bonkers.

    We spoke to 6 people and asked what they planned to do after the lockdown:
    1. 'Revenge' Shopping © iStock
    Says Ritwik Ghosh, a final year economics student in Delhi, âI had a trip planned to Belgium for a week because this is the only time that I can actually take a proper vacation. The lockdown and the pandemic was really a bummer for a number of students. We also missed our farewell. 

    "So, I have planned to go on a mad shopping spree, once things get back to normal. I intentionally plan on going for the more expensive stuff, things that I would usually not go for. I have the money that I had saved, plus, I missed out on a lot of shopping anyway. Think of it like avenging my now dead vacation plans.â
    2. Going To A Fancy Spa/Salon © iStock
    Dharmesh Kanojia, a graphic designer at a notable publication house in Delhi, says that he will be going to a high-end salon. 

    âI am also considering visiting a fancy spa, and just go bonkers. I have never been to a spa before and would normally get my hair cut at the local barberâs. The lockdown made me realise that I had actually often wondered what happens at those fancy places. Now I am just curious. And because it will be a one-time thing, I should be able to afford that,â says Dharmesh.
    3. Buying A New Phone, TV & A Laptop © iStock
    Ankur Raj, a desk editor, at a notable economic and financial news website in Kolkata, says, âI will be buying a couple of personal gadgets and upgrading some electronics for my home. The lockdown made me realise that it has actually been ages since I upgraded my television and laptop, and the current that I use, is just hopelessly outdated.

    "I would not have realised this, had I not been forced to use them for a prolonged time. Since there really isnât a good time to make a purchase like this, I will just wait a month or so to see where my finances stand, and for any upcoming new models to be launched.
    4. A Month-Long Vacation © iStock
    Paras Verma, who works as a content strategist in a Noida-based start-up says, âWe have been working way harder it seems during the lockdown. I need to take some time off from work. 

    I plan to take a short vacation to Bhimtal, or Sattal for a month or so, otherwise, I think I will just lose my mind. On the other hand, a week-long trip to Laos or Cambodia also seems to be a great option.â
    5. Checking Into A Resort For A Week © iStock
    Remember when Indian bowler Yuzvendra Chahal said that he wouldnât come back home for 3 years after the lockdown? It seems that has inspired Sahil Garg, a trade analyst from Gurugram. 

    He says, âI will check into a resort for a week. I will go to my office in the morning and go back to the resort in the evening. I live alone and have had to live all this while without coming into contact with another human being. It feels like it has been ages since I actually met a human being face to face.â 
    6. A Multicourse Dinner At A Fancy Restaurant © iStock
    This lockdown has been especially hard on people who are in a relationship but couldnât stay together. Inadvertently, for most of these people, this is turning out to be a long-distance relationship. 

    Aroop Dasgupta, an entrepreneur based out of Bengaluru says, âMy partner and I love to eat. We would go out to eat regularly and would often eat at new places. Our long drives and trips would also revolve around food. After the lockdown is lifted, we will be going to possibly the fanciest and the most high-end restaurant in the city, and have a multicourse meal. This will, of course, be following a thorough spa session, but the restaurant will be the key.â
    Seems like people have their plans all laid out and waiting eagerly for the day to come when the lockdown ends. We only wish that this lockdown ends soon enough.

    There are over 9000 Coronavirus cases in the country so far, and the nationwide lockdown has been reportedly extended to two more weeks. 
    Meanwhile, authorities are working day in and day out to ensure people strictly adhere to the lockdown rules during this time.

    Besides, they are also taking to social media to answer all kinds of queries and doubts of people about the lockdown. In this context, one particular question for the Pune Police department and their answer has left people in splits on Twitter.
    One of the Twitter users asked the Pune policeâs department what would happen if they step out. during the lockdown, to which the police came up with a witty yet strong reply.
    âWhat if we put you inside? If we put someone in jail without any cause would it be nice? So, how is going outside without a reason alright?â the department said in its reply.
    Check out the hilarious conversation here:

    It's been more than a few months since the coronavirus outbreak started in China, and people are still scared to step out of their homes. The situation seems to be getting a little better by each passing day, but there's a lot to recover from.
    As we collectively do our best to fight the deadly COVID-19 virus, tons of donations have started pouring in from wealthy individuals across the globe. In India, a lot of celebrities have come forward to donate and help our nation fight through this pandemic. Now, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has also come forward to extend a helping hand.
    © Reuters
    The Google chief has donated Rs 5 Crore to 'Give India', thereby matching Google's earlier donation to the non-profit organization to help fight the pandemic. 'Give India', for those of you who don't know, is one of the non-profit organisations that are working hard to gather all the help we need.

    We believe that Sundar Pichai's generous donation will definitely help them do their best and support those who are in need. Sundar Pichai's contribution will go towards the daily wage workers who are believed to be the ones that are most affected during this pandemic in India. Give India confirmed the same in a tweet.
    Thank you @sundarpichai for matching @Googleorg 's â¹5 crore grant to provide desperately needed cash assistance for vulnerable daily wage worker families. Please join our #COVID19 campaign: https://t.co/T9bDf1MXiv @atulsatija
    â GiveIndia (@GiveIndia) April 13, 2020
    It's worth pointing out that Sundar Pichai's donation is an addition to the existing amount donated by Google India. On top of that, Google had announced an over $800 million commitment towards efforts to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. So we're essentially seeing a lot of help from Google, which is great.
    In addition to Google, a lot of other tech companies have also stepped forward to help the world. Apple is also doing its part, and so are other companies like Tata, Paytm and more.

    Excuse my language but 2020 really has been a sh*t show and we're just in the fourth month. Starting the year off with Australian bushfires and then the possibility of a third world war, and now we're all locked in our houses because there's a freaking pandemic happening. A lot of people were asking what worse could happen at this point?
    Well, we have an answer now. I mean, kinda. Wildfires have been spreading in Chernobyl since April 5th and have already engulfed 8,600 acres of land. Tens of thousands of firefighters are on the job trying to control the fire.
    There's another new concern now - the fire is reportedly getting dangerously close to the nuclear reactor, which exploded back in 1986. Apparently, Ukrainian officials have also discovered a huge radiation spike in the area where the first fires began.
    The levels of radiation are of course not nearly as high as they were during the explosion, but it's still a cause of concern and can pose a great risk to the residents of the country.
    Imagine dealing with a fire on top of coronavirus, especially in a place like Chernobyl. Looks like everything that can go wrong is actually going wrong. Not to be dramatic, but this honestly feels so apocalyptic and the end is near.
    Bingo!

    The Mayans did not refer to 2012 but to 2020

    March: Corona
    April: Corona, KRAKATOA, Chernobyl is on fire, Locusts in Africa

    It was great knowing you all.

    To wrap it up, within the last 24 hours: Chernobyl is on fire, volcano chain in Iceland wakes up for the first time in 800 years, tornados are devastating Mississippi, and Krakatoa erupted. Oh and thereâs a new bird flu that mutated and can infect humans.

    2020 is fucked

    Given how we are stuck in our homes and bored out of our minds, a lot of us have found a weird and convoluted refuge in social media. And we are not just talking about mindlessly scrolling through our social media feeds, and sending unsolicited DMs - we are more active than ever before on social media, posting stuff, tweeting out and participating in challenges.

    During such a time, it is imperative that you bring your A-Game on social media, and sound intellectual. And what better way to do that than to sprinkle some really dope and cool-sounding words in your captions and tweets? And the best thing of all, these words are already becoming viral, so expect to get a lot of traction using these.

    Etymology: Covid + Idiot

    A covidiot is a moron who just doesnât take the quarantine and the lockdown measures seriously and is, therefore, risking getting infected, and then infecting others with the novel coronavirus. They should be officially declared Public Enemy Number 1.
    Usage in a sentence: Nitin went out today to buy cigarettes and some alcohol, that too without wearing a mask, proving that he is a total covidiot.

    Etymology: Quarantine + Fatigue

    The mental exhaustion and fatigue that sets in after spending what seems to be an eternity in lockdown. Can also refer to the actual, physical exhaustion, and fatigue people experience, due to working from home, all the while having to do household chores, all by themselves, with no help whatsoever.
    Usage in a sentence: I had to clean up my room, wipe the floor for the entire house, cook my meals, and wash my clothes, all the while attending numerous conference and video calls for the office. My quarantigue knows no bounds.

    Etymology: Covid + Vacation

    The false sense of vacation that some people get, given that all classes and work in some offices have been cancelled. What these people do not realise is the mountain of work awaiting them, when the lockdown is finally lifted.
    Usage in a sentence: Enjoy your covidcation as much as you can now; be ready to pull a number of all-nighters, when we start working on the project again after the lockdown.
    Covidanoid/Covinoid © iStock
    Etymology: Covid + Paranoid

    Someone who is extremely paranoid about everything when it comes to the coronavirus, and COVID-19. Easily susceptible to rumours that they get through forwarded messages, these are the people whose WhatsApp and Twitter apps should be deactivated for some time. Covidanoids can be a pain to deal with at times.
    Usage in a sentence: Nilesh looks very suspiciously because a distant cousin of mine, whom I havenât met in over three years has contracted the virus. He fears that I will infect him with the virus if I get close. He is such a covidanoid.

    Etymology: Covid + Crazy

    These are the panic mongers and conspiracy theorists who believe that everything that is taking place has an ulterior and convoluted reason behind it. Not only do they believe in and forward those ridiculous WhatsApp forwarded messages, they also create messages which are absolutely bonkers. These are also the people who question everything that the government and medical bodies tell us to do because apparently, they are in cahoots with big pharmaceutical companies to make us sick. These are the people who should be labelled Public Enemy Number 2.
    Usage in a sentence: Atul just sent me a message saying that if we take a hot shower, and clean everything with hard liquor like vodka and whiskey, the coronavirus will die, before infecting us. He truly is covidcrazy.
    Covismart © iStock
    Etymology: Covid + Smart

    Rarest of the bunch, a covismart is someone who, well, is smart. They follow the rules of social distancing, are smart about managing things, do not spread rumours and false news, keep proper hygiene and take all measures to ensure that the contagion is contained, seriously.
    Usage in a sentence: Varun does not step out of his house unless it is absolutely necessary, and he washes his hands thoroughly every hour. He is being covismart about the situation in hand.
