    Defying both distance and lockdown restrictions, a 48-year old school headmistress, and mother, from Telangana undertook a journey that only a mother could pull off - undertaking a three-day journey across 1,400 kilometers, aiming to find her 17-year old son who was stranded during the COVID-19 lockdown.Β  Β Β 
    My story for the day. Amazing woman, mother, rider...Telangana Woman Rides 1,400 km On Scooty To Bring Back Son Stranded In Andhra Pradesh - NDTV https://t.co/XTt8gmJccg
    Γ’ Saba Naqvi (@_sabanaqvi) April 10, 2020
    Razia Begum set out on the arduous journey on Monday morning armed with local police permission. Beginning from Nizamabad (some 200km away from Hyderabad), she rode solo to Nellore in Andhra Pradesh, returning with her younger son on Wednesday evening. SheΒ 
    averaged close to 500 kilometres a day - a distance usually covered by seasoned roadtrippers, and definitely a huge feat to accomplish on a scooter.

    "It was a difficult journey on a small two-wheeler for a woman. But the determination to bring my son back overtook all my fears. I packed rotis and they kept me going. It was fearsome in the nights with no traffic movement and no people on roads," Ms. Begum told PTI on Thursday.
    Mother's love!
    This #Telangana woman travelled 1400km alone on scooty, to bring back her son stranded in #AndhraPradesh town due to #lockdownindia

    Currently working as a headmistress at a local school in Nizamabad, Ms. Begum tragically lost her husband 15 years ago, and now lives with her two sons, an engineering graduate, and 19-year old Nizamuddin, who aspires to become a doctor as an MBBS aspirant. The boy had visited Rahmatabad in Nellore on March 12 to drop his friend and stayed back there. Meanwhile, the lockdown was announced following the coronavirus outbreak, and he could not return.

    While the family considered sending their elder son instead, the mother took it upon herself out of concern that police would mistake him for a joy rider and detain him.
    Naturally, several messages of support and astonishment flew in across social media,
    Alhamdulillah the son is BLESSED to have a MOTHER like her.
    MISSING mine.

    Heart warming. Beautiful story. Just that she should also have arranged for helmet.
    Γ’ PP Ambashta (@AmbashtaPP) April 10, 2020
    However, there were a fair share of skeptics who considered Ms. BegumΓ’s actions as uncooperative and disruptive taking into account the lockdown - despite her seeking and obtaining police permission before retrieving her son.
    Foolish Act. If something happen in between then blame govt for not planning. Should not publicise these kind of news to avoid others try such stunts

    As every mom starting doing this then what is meaning of lockdown
    Γ’ Atul Kumar Singh (@Atulslam) April 10, 2020
    @TelanganaDGP this is how rioters are instigated

    This is how Ruke breakers are promoted so that every mother every parent would now take a bike get on the street to bring their child home

    Can we get a written apology for the @_sabanaqvi causing public nusience@PMOIndia

    Bollywood has been a mixed bag of some flop and hit movies. But if there's one genre that, if messed up, turns out to be really funny. Yes, we are talking action movies and to be honest, Bollywood has given us some cringe-worthy movies that were a big-time disappointment. Wondering which ones? Check out this list and tell us if you agree with us or not.Β 
    1. Dabangg 3The third of 'Dabangg' Franchise, this movie undoubtedly goes in the list of flop action movies. While there are some clap-worthy scenes in this movie, it actually fails to entice you in its action scenes. Unreasonably stretched and monotonous, the story is just like Dabangg and Dabangg 2 and quite forced. Even though the narrative is blended well together, this movie has unbearable, random scenes that no one would like to watch. Coming to the action bit, enough of seeing of Salman shirtless and trying to act like Spiderman!
    Β 
    2. Laal KaptaanLaal Kaptaan is an action movie, solely based on revenge. The brutal action with a number of plots can easily make anyone lose focus in the movie. Unfortunately, even this action movie is super stretched-out and if you have the patience to sit through 3 hours of bearing this one, go for it. The script is shaky and lacks a clear vision as to what the movie is trying to portray. Big time fail!Β 

    3. Race 3Remember the famous dialogue from Race 3, 'Our business is our business, none of your business'? Well, this should sum up how this action film would turn out to be. While we were banking on Salman Khan to give us an action-packed movie, this one ended up becoming a meme favourite for us. Race 3, instead of action drama, has a laughable premise that will test the viewer's intellect.
    Β Β 
    4. PlayersThe movie is a remake of the Italian Job, which instead of a remake looks more like an annoying adaptation. The movie is about how a team of experts come together to execute a heist in Russia for gold. The movie is slow-paced that lacks lustre when it comes to action. The entire robbery sequence is actually unbelievable and fake with lack of logical answers. Even though the storyline is interesting, the screenplay turns out to be a boring fare.
    Β 
    5. Ra.OneThe only good thing about Ra.One are the songs of this film. Besides that, one would literally yawn during the whole time. The storyline is quite emotional, but a poor screenplay where we see SRK flying on the building, jumping over cars etc. is actually weak and fails to entertain us. Not just that, the movie sort of embraces the future but is saddled with poor dialogues that will instantly make you cringe.
    Β 
    6. India's Most WantedBased on a real-life scenario, India's Most Wanted, starring Arjun Kapoor is a film that is a secret mission to track a terrorist. The movie starts with a great execution but there is a sluggish pace and it doesn't have good action scenes that will make you sit on the edge of the seat. It also makes you feel really disconnected. The twists in the movie are cringe-worthy and hence even this one has gone in the list of disappointing action movies.

    At this point in time, we've all probably heard and in fact, grown a strong sense of loathing for Chinese wet markets, notoriously infamous for selling bats, pangolins andΒ  a lot of other animals as livestock. However, in a recent turn of events, China has decided to stop slaughtering millions of dogs for meat.
    China reclassifies dogs as pets, not livestock, in post-virus regulatory push https://t.co/gquUfstNem pic.twitter.com/oB84yUanY2
    β€” Reuters (@Reuters) April 9, 2020 Dog meat has infamously been a delicacy in China, however, earlier this month, the Chinese city of Schenzen had banned dog meat. In fact, the latest guidelines issued by the Ministry of Agriculture of China has rejigged the guidelines for 18 animals that were earlier classified as livestock including cattle, pigs, poultry and camels.
    β€œAs far as dogs are concerned, along with the progress of human civilization and the public concern and love for animal protection, dogs have been 'specialized' to become companion animals, and internationally are not considered to be livestock, and they will not be regulated as livestock in China,” the notice said.
    Β© Reuters
    Moreover, 13 more animals have also been identified as special species which exempts them from being involved in wild animal trading, including reindeer, alpaca, pheasants, ostriches and foxes. Following the coronavirus outbreak that is supposed to have originated from horseshoe bats, China had banned the breeding, trading and consumption of wildlife, and revoked all existing licenses. In fact, it has also promised to look into it and make the ban permanent after the pandemic is over.
    10 million dogs are killed in a year in China for meat and this also includes stolen pets. Needless to say, everyone from across the world has hailed the move, while some just couldn't miss the opportunity to take digs at China for being so late in alleviating such regressive norms.
    Welcome to the 21st century.

    The world is going through something right now that we have never seen in our lifetime. When Coronavirus first made an appearance in Wuhan, China, no one could predict that it would end up impacting every single person's life. While we owe our health and well-being to all the doctors and health professionals, and look up to every single one of them, from a more superficial and fun perspective, there are a few who are extra special.
    We have 7 doctors here who are frontlining the battle against Coronavirus, while looking like real-life superheroes. No, really, after the first glance, one would actually mistake them for insanely good looking (borderline hot, according to popular opinion) actors who are playing the role of doctors. But they are real life doctors. Don't believe us? Take a look.

    While movies are a way to get away from reality and jump into the world of fiction, a lot of us still want minute details of the film to match the reality of life. Even though weΓ’d accept the storyline for being unrealistic, most of us would expect some things to be as they are in reality.
    However, movies often overdramatize certain scenarios and we think that needs to change. So, here are five scenarios that can never be the same as shown in Bollywood movies.
    Girls Waking Up With A Face Full Of Makeup © Yash Chopra Films
    Bollywood movies often show actresses waking up with a face full of makeup which hasnΓ’t smudged a bit.

    Now, as much as we think that we want our girlfriends to look like Bollywood actresses, itΓ’s just impossible for them to wake up looking perfect in reality. And I think most of us know the difference between reel life and real life!
    Breaking Doors As If They Are Made Of Cardboard © Maddock films
    The purpose of a door is to keep people out but the doors shown in Bollywood are kicked and broken by actors as if they are made of cardboard.

    Real wooden doors arenΓ’t that easily breakable!
    So, please donΓ’t ever get over-influenced by a Rohit Shetty film and go about trying to kick doors open.
    People Never Break Any Part Of Their Hands While Punching Gratuitously © Reel Life Productions
    Now, we all like Bollywood action films but how do they go about punching each other without getting hurt themselves. In reality, if you punch that hard, youΓ’d be running to see a doctor the same minute.

    ItΓ’s just impossible to keep punching bad men and not feel like screaming from within!
    Real Conversations Are Never As Dramatic As Movie Conversations © Dharma Productions
    Remember that scene from K3G, where Amitabh Bachchan tells Jaya Bachchan, Γ’Keh diya na, buss keh diyaΓ’?

    In reality, if my dad tells that to my mom, my mom will continue to speak what she has to and then theyΓ’ll get normal again. There is never this much drama and silence around a dialogue when it happens in reality.
    Always Dancing In Sync On Songs © Dharma Productions
    This is the most bizarre scenario shown in the movies.Β  First of all, the stars of the movie break into a dance anywhere and everywhere. And people in real life, even if in love are least likely to dance in the middle of the road.

    Also, how do you know the dance steps already? It looks good on screen but this never happens unless we practice. Also, real people forget steps even in the planned Shaadi dance performances, so they canΓ’t definitely sync random dance moves on the road!
    Do you have more bizarre scenarios popping up in your mind? Let us know in the comments section below.

    Over the years, cricket as a sport has been often labelled as the gentleman's game. But, ask an ardent fan and you'd quickly realise that the lines of being a gentleman in cricket have for long been blurred. We've seen players using expletives against each other. The game has witnessed cases of spot-fixing and ball-tampering. There also have been a rare case of a cricketer almost beating a fan with his bat.
    While the International Cricket Council (ICC) continues to monitor such situations and has managed to curb such incidents that may bring disrepute to the game, the demon of sledging and verbal abuse, every now and then, somehow manages to crawl back into the sport. Thanks to the ever-increasing levels of competition in cricket, every team including some players resort to verbal exploits to upstage the opponent.

    The strategy of putting sledging to good effect has been associated with Australia's aggressive brand of cricket for decades, but, today, it is a widely common practice that allows teams to upset the temperament and disrupt the focus of the opponents to gain an upper hand. But apart from sledging, there have also been those occasional and rare moments where teammates, too, have been seen engaging in verbal exchanges on the field.
    From hurling verbal abuses, pointing fingers at each other, charging in anger to heated exchanges, here's a look at six Indian cricketers who lost their cool at their own team members on the field:
    Nehra Blasts Dhoni
    Ashish Nehra is undeniably the name that automatically comes to our mind at the first mention of an Indian cricketer abusing his own teammate. The exploits of a furious Nehra during the 2005 ODI between India and Pakistan might have been almost 15 years old, but the fact that he abused none other than MS Dhoni remains one of the hardest pills to swallow for fans.
    During the 4th ODI at Ahmedabad, Dhoni, who was fairly new on the international circuit, had done his part with the willow, scoring 64-ball 47 in India's 315-run total. But, during the fourth over of Pakistan's run-chase, Shahid Afridi, who was batting on 10, edged a delivery outside the off-stump and the ball flew past Dhoni who was keeping behind the stumps.
    The left-arm Indian seamer was clearly miffed with Dhoni's efforts before giving him his piece of mind with some expletives. While Nehra recently rendered his apology claiming he was not proud of his behaviour, the fact that Dhoni went on to become one of the most popular and successful cricketers in the country, further makes this incident unforgettable.
    Laxman Fuming At Ojha
    Who would have seen this coming? Throughout his career, VVS laxman was known for his composure and grit that reflected in his invaluable innings more often than not. An orthodox batsman who appeared like a diligent pupil of textbook strokes, Laxman was and is still considered to be a man who can do no wrong, let alone lose his temper and blast a fellow teammate.
    On the final day of the Mohali Test between India and Australia in 2010, tension was soaring at an all-time high in the frenetic closing stage of the match. The hosts were just six runs away from a memorable win against the then World Champions. But, sadly for India, the team had just one wicket in hand, with Laxman and tail-ender Pragyan Ojha at the crease.
    Batting despite back troubles, Laxman, who was batting with Suresh Raina as his runner, was India's only hope and knew he needed to tread with caution. Keen on retaining the strike, Laxman drilled the ball to mid-off and called for a single, but Ojha, standing at the non-striker's end, got confused and refused to run. Ojha's antics left Laxman fuming at the other end as he screamed more than a few words at his teammate in absolute rage.
    Luckily for India, Ojha managed to hold fort at the other end and the hosts eked out a thrilling win from jaws of defeat. Laxman, who remained unbeaten on 73, claimed that he apologised to Ojha for his behaviour, but never disclosed exactly what he said to him.
    Dhoni 'Abuses' Manish Pandey © Twitter/@BCCI
    Over the years, MS Dhoni has established himself as one of the most respected and iconic cricketers to have played the gentleman's game. Apart from his skills, Dhoni's calm and composed demeanour has earned him plaudits from fans and pundits alike. Thus, in 2018, in a rare incident when the camera caught Dhoni allegedly abusing Manish Pandey, no one really believed it.

    The 2nd T20I between India and South Africa saw Dhoni and Pandey stitch a crucial 98-run partnership for the fifth wicket. The final over of the Indian innings saw the stump mic picking up Dhoni having a crack at Pandey, who was standing at the non-striker's end, looking somewhere else.
    "Oye, Bho***ke, idhar dekh le. Udhar kya dekh raha hai? (Look here. What are you looking at there),Γ’ was the initial impression of Dhoni's stump-mic recording. But, cricket fans still remain divided over Dhoni's comments. While some believe he did abuse Pandey, others feel that he said: "Oye, Bhoot**ke, idhar dekh le. Udhar kya dekh raha hai?".
    Jadeja Riles Up Raina
    Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja are well-known for their close friendship and mutual respect for each other. The duo had thrived under the leadership of MS Dhoni in Team India and still remain the best of buddies. Thus, the sight of Jadeja and Raina exchanging verbal volleys and bickering in the middle ground in 2013.
    During the Tri-Series that featured India, Sri Lanka and West Indies in the Caribbean, Dhoni was sidelined during the group stages of the tournament. Amid Dhoni's absence, young Virat Kohli was asked to lead the Indian team during the clash against the Windies. During the West Indies innings, Raina had dropped Sunil Narine on two occasions. But, Jadeja dismissed the left-hander in the 34th over to make up for Raina's errors.
    After dismissing Narine, Jadeja walked up to Raina and pointed out his mistake. Unhappy with his fielding, Jadeja took it a bit too far by taking a jibe at Raina for losing Team India captaincy to Kohli. "Because you've lost the captaincy, you've also lost interest in fielding?," he reportedly told Raina. The comments left Raina fuming in rage as the duo continued to exchange words until Kohli intervened.
    "Raina and Jadeja have spoken to the team manager and tendered unconditional apology for their on-field behaviour. They have promised that this type of an act won't be repeated again. Both the cricketers have understood that their conduct is unbecoming of a national team cricketer," a senior BCCI official was quoted as saying by TOI in 2013.
    Harbhajan Provokes Rayudu © Twitter/@IPL
    Ambati Rayudu and Harbhajan Singh might not have played a lot of games together in the Indian team, but the fact that they played with Mumbai Indians (MI) from 2008 to 2017 and played key roles in their team's three IPL title triumphs hints at the good rapport they share. The duo are still teammates while plying their trade for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). But, in 2016, the two cricketers looked far from good mates on the field.

    During the 2016 season of the IPL, Mumbai Indians were playing against Rising Pune Supergiant when Harbhajan was bowling to Saurabh Tiwary. The left-hander had pulled the off-spinner to the fence where some confusion between Rayudu and Tim Southee saw the ball going past the boundary line for a four. Bhajji was unimpressed by Rayudu's efforts.
    Harbhajan, who had not conceded a single boundary in his spell till then, was livid as he gestured with his hands to Rayudu and emitted a loud yell evidently in uncharitable language. The verbal volleys of Bhajji provoked Rayudu who charged in from the fence towards the off-spinner as the duo exchanged a few words.
    Moments later, Bhajji tried to make peace with Rayudu by wrapping his arms around him, but Rayudu was having none of it as he shrugged off the reconciliatory gesture. While Mumbai Indians eventually won the contest on the back of Rohit Sharma's blazing 85, the unusual and surprising on-field spat between Harbhajan and Rayudu left a bit of a sour taste in everyone's mouth.
    Jadeja Takes On Ishant
    India's tour of Australia in 2018 will always be remembered for their historic Test series win - their first Down Under. But, during the Perth Test, the only match India lost in the series, Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma found themselves taking on each other in a heated on-field exchange.
    While there is no clear explanation behind their spat, it is believed that Ishant was apparently unhappy with Jadeja's fielding position. The two cricketers initially exchanged a few words from a distance before getting close while continuing to engage in the animated conversation. Γ’Who knows what theyΓ’re talking about, it does seem very animated, thereΓ’s lots of finger-pointing. Things have obviously got a little bit heated between these two,Γ’ Ponting said while commentating for Channel 7.
    As Australia went on to win the Test by 146 runs, the incident of two Indian cricketers bickering on the field remained the topic of great discussion on social media amongst fans. But, the incident was eventually overshadowed - thanks to Virat Kohli-led India's triumph in the next game that saw them winning the Test series.

    With the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, some people believe that celebrity culture is dying. The celebrity culture refers to their immense following that also contributes to a celebrity's net worth in a number of ways.
    But before we get right into it, it's important to understand what consists of net worth.Β 
    © Viral Bhayani
    Net worth is the value of all assets, minus the total of all liabilities. Put another way, net worth is what is owned minus what is owed.Β 

    This net worth calculator helps determine your net worth. It also estimates how net worth could grow or decline over the next 10 years.Β

    Ranbir Kapoor is one of the biggest Bollywood actors at present. According to reports, Ranbir KapoorΓ’s net worth is estimated to be over Rs 320 crore, currently. Β  His net worth is expected to increase by 40 per cent as he signs up for more big projects.

    © Viral Bhayani
    A lot of factors add to this net worth, one of them is the fact that Ranbir Kapoor, currently in the industry, is one of the highest-paid actors in Bollywood.Β 

    Aside from the fact the brand endorsements also contribute majorly to the figure. Reportedly, Ranbir charges around Rs 18 to 20 crore per film and a whopping Rs 5 crore for brand endorsements.
    Ranbir Kapoor's assets include a Rs. 3.25 lakh TAGHeuer Grand Prix watch and a Rs 18 lakh-worth Harley Davidson Fat Boy, among others.

    Ranbir Kapoor's property located in Mumbai is estimated to be worth around Rs 16 crore. Apart from that he also owns other estates in India.Β 

    He has a stunning collection of cars that include Rolls Royce, Mercedes-Benz GL Class, Range Rover, Lexus, BMW X6, AudiRS7, Toyota land Cruiser, etc.
    While it may sound surprising, but Ranbir's versatile sneaker collection also contributes vastly to his net worth.

    Other than that, films like Shamshera alongside Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt and Brahmastra, starring Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni Roy are expected to contribute to his net worth in the coming year.

    3. Andaz Apna ApnaReleased in 1994, the film didnΓ’t enjoy commercial success at the time of its release despite its cult classic status that it has today. Today it is considered to be BollywoodΓ’s one of the finest comedy movies, that features Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor in lead roles.

    Growing up in the 2000s meant we were exposed to the best of television content. Be it cartoons, reality shows or even family dramas, our generation got a taste of the best. One such show that fills our heart with happy memories and made us laugh out loud without a miss was Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai.
    © Hotstar
    There is no forgetting SoBoΓ’s up-class Maya, adorable daddy-cool Indu, their Γ’mis-fitΓ’ of a daughter-in-law Monisha and of course the Sarabhai bros Sahil and Rosesh with their own set of quirks. Now given that the show is reportedlyΒ all set to make a comeback on TV yet again amid the coronavirus lockdown, I personally cannot wait to re-watch these seven iconic episodes from the show.

    In no particular order, the below sequence is merely a reflection of which Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai episode had had the most impact on my psyche.
    1. DushyantΓ’s Entry © Hotstar
    Gadget-freak Dushyant or Indu and MayaΓ’s son-in-law, no matter whatever you want to call this guy, he did bring with him a fresh burst of comedy. His unabashed love for gadgets and the ability to laugh off every failure stole my heart.

    2. Mallika SherawatΓ’s Special Appearance © Hotstar
    Who can forget Sunehri? Besides you and me, I bet Indu and Sahil havenΓ’t been able to forget her either. She came, she saw, she played and then she made a run for it with her prize.

    3. The MotherΓ’s Day Episode Ft. Rosesh © Hotstar
    In all these years of being a fan of this show, if there is one moment thatΓ’s literally carved into my mind, it has to be RoseshΓ’s MotherΓ’s Day special poetry -

    Momma ka purse, jaise hospital ki pyaari koi nurse
    Purse mein rakha tissue paper karta hai paseene ka ilaajΒ 
    Aur lipstick ho jaise, bhooke hotho ka anaj
    Momma ke purse ka hai makhmali sa sparsh
    Momma ka purse, momma ka purse.
    I mean, come on!
    4. MonishaΓ’s Sophisticated Avatar © Hotstar
    I remember this one happened around the end of the first season, but boy was this role reversal cathartic or what! Things got so out of hand at one point, that Monisha succeeded in making Maya uncomfortable. This one was a complete win.

    5. Monisha & SahilΓ’s Flashback Lovestory © Hotstar
    This came in parts, but even with its hilarity, Monisha and SahilΓ’s cute flashback love story helped fill so many unknown gaps. Also, it was such a revelation to find out that Monisha is Manisha, after all.

    6. MayaΓ’s Role Reversal As A Middle-Class Woman © Hotstar
    Again, MayaΓ’s middle-class avatar is unforgettable. You simply donΓ’t forget someone becoming the exact thing they detest the most in life - and in MayaΓ’s case that would be being middle-class.

    7. Kaccha KelaΓ’s Poetry Episode © Hotstar
    The only other person in the entire show who could rival Rosesh in his poetry skills was this man. Anirudh aka Kaccha KelaΓ’s Main Lukkha Hu takes the trophy, hands down.Β

    You have to make sure you keep your military safe from insurgency and make sure the subjects of your kingdom are happy. You have to devote resources for building both the military and your kingdom with the right balance.Β

    No one would have imagined that one day, we will be restricted to staying at home. Owing to the CoronavirusΒ outbreak, everything which was maybe normal earlier is not normal anymore. We were used to the hustle-bustle in our cities and suddenly, it feels like we have been transported to some dystopian Hollywood movie like A Quiet Place where we cannot move out because outside we have a deadly pandemic COVID 19 waiting for us.
    With industries being shut, thereΓ’s nothing much happening around. Just like all the other industries, the entertainment industry is not functioning and the release dates of movies have been pushed to the latter half of the year. We, the millennials, have not seen something like this ever and itΓ’s the first time we are seeing the whole world being shut because of this deadly pandemic just like we saw in the movie Contagion.Β 

    This whole situation, in the real-life, can be shown through a movie in reel life. A few days back, there came a report that claimed that Bollywood producers are trying to register a movie based on Coronavirus. Corona Pyaar Hai has apparently already been registered. Well, we are sure that as soon as it ends, there will be directors who may take up a movies based on this scenario.
    We have chosen 5 directors who we think are well-suited to make a movie on Coronavirus and we are also discussing the probable plots. Before you judge us, it obviously is not the truth, and is done with the intention of providing everyone with a little dose of harmless entertainment.

    Well, this man is known for his raw and realistic cinema. We can expect a very realistic portrayal of the situation on the screens. The story plot could be taken from Sacred Games where the Indian Government gets a call from the Chinese Government that you have just 21 days to save your nation. Then, the mystery will unfold where concerned authorities start finding the solution to this big problem.
    R Balki
    So, he has directed some praise-worthy films like PadMan, Paa and Cheeni Kum. Taking a cue from PadMan, R Balki might make a movie from the perspective of the person who found the vaccine of this deadly pandemic.Β 

    Shree Narayan Singh
    Well, he has given us movies like Toilet Ek Prem Katha and Batti Gul Meter Chalu. With the kind of movies that he has been directing, he might show the story of the Coronavirus outbreak with a social message of keeping our hygiene in place.
    Ram Gopal Varma
    How can we not have RGV on our list? Seeing his filmography (letΓ’s not include Aag), we can actually expect a movie based on the political scenarios in the county when Coronavirus was on its peak.Β

    Karan Johar
    Why Karan Johar, you ask? Well, KJo is the master when it comes to showing romance on the big screen. He might make a film on two lovers who were separated because of the Coronavirus outbreak, with a melodramatic, larger than life dose of romance through Zoom calls.Β

    2020 truly marks the end of an era. Among other things, this is the year when we see two of the most iconic car manufacturers shut their operations in India. Both Mitsubishi and Fiat are bowing out of the fiercely competitive automotive market that India is. Even though both of these car manufacturers are engineering and commercial powerhouses when it comes to cars, the uncertainty and paradoxical nature of the Indian automotive market has dealt the final blow to these manufacturers.
    Β© Fiat
    This is the year when all new cars that will start plying on Indian roads have to comply with BS-VI. Both, Fiat's as well as Mitsubishi's automotive departments had been ailing with slipping sales and the churn that the Indian automobile industry was going through.Β 
    Β© iStock
    Both of these manufacturers have given us some of the most iconic, and aspirational cars for the petrolheads of this generation. The Premier Padmini, or Fiat Premiere as it was also known, taught us how great and cool cars could be, in the 1960s. The Mitsubishi Pajero was instrumental in developing the notion that off-roading cars could be luxurious and fairly affordable.
    Β© Wiki Commons
    Here are five cars, from both of these manufacturers that proved to be iconic for the Indian petrolhead.
    Mitsubishi Lancer Β© Wiki Commons
    We have to start with the Mitsubishi Lancer, simply because of how iconic the car was. In India, you could only get your hands on the top variant, which came with that iconic spoiler. Furthermore, you could only get your hands on one if you were really well off, and had some really good connections. Depending on the year you bought the car, you would get a slightly different front grill; although we loved how understated the car was, some of the styling aspects were ahead of its time. As for the performance, it does look dated today, but for the early 2000s, this was a rocket ship on wheels.
    Fiat Punto EvoΒ  Β© Fiat
    There were a number of variants of the Punto that we got to see over the years. Be it the first, original, unadulterated one, or the most recent one, the Avventura, all of them were actually good cars. However, the Evo was a little bit special. It had marginally better handling than the closest competitor, it certainly was a thing to behold. For city roads, it was the perfect car - light, nimble and quick to accelerate. On the highways, it was stable at high speeds and powerful enough for some spirited driving. The only reason it did not sell that well, because of its pricing, and the fact that by the time it was launched, Fiat was already in a downward economic spiral.
    Mitsubishi Pajero Β© Mitsubishi
    There was no way this one did not make it to the list. Simply put, this was the most iconic car from the bunch. There was no mountain high enough, neither a valley deep enough that the Pajero couldn't drive over if it was paired with a skilful driver. Although the refreshed version did not impress even the most ardent fans of the Pajero, people will still recall this one, when asked about the most iconic SUV that was seen on Indian roads.
    Fiat Abarth 595 Β© Fiat
    The Abarth 595 was limited to a very few numbers in India and for good reasons. At almost Rs 30 Lakhs a piece, this was by no means a car that made fiscal sense. However, from purely a driver's and an enthusiast's perspective, this was a bargain. You would get a sportscar like performance and handling, in the size of a small hatchback and the price of a luxury sedan. The Abarth 595 was powerful, nimble, and could accelerate like a stabbed rabbit. This was a car that India was simply not ready for.
    Fiat Linea Β© Fiat
    The Linea was an unlucky car in a number of ways. It was sporty enough, handled well, was spacious and well equipped, and in its segment, was one of the most luxurious offerings. However, it was way more expensive than it should have been, and because of Fiat's issues with after-sales services, the car never really got the chance it deserved.Β Β 
    Although Mitsubishi is completely out of the automotive market in India for now, Fiat's parent company, FCA, or Fiat Chrysler Automobiles India will continue to operate and will continue with the Jeep brand of cars.Β

    There's so much going on in the world right now - a pandemic, basically the entire world under lockdown, all of us trying to work and survive while the anxiety of being part of a historical event is trying to take over us. In short, it's been a shitty year so far.
    So sometimes, it's nice to take a break and watch something very calming and aesthetically pleasing so that we can take our minds away from stuff, even if for a little while. Here comes in Studio Ghibli and their wholesome movies.
    The Japanese animation studio has some of the best movies that will make you feel like you're part of that universe. Here are some of our top picks that can be streamed online right now.
    1. Howl's Moving Castle

    Based in a fictional kingdom where both magic and early 20th-century technology are prevalent with a backdrop of a war with another kingdom, the movie has a very strong anti-war message. Actually, the director - Hayao Miyazaki - made the movie after being outraged about the United States' invasion of Iraq in 2003. There are witches, there's a magical curse, there's a freaking castle that walks, and a talking fire. And, the English dubbed version has Christian Bale voicing the character of Howl.


    2. Spirited Away

    The Oscar-winning movie is about a 10-year-old girl who, while moving to a new neighbourhood, ends up trapped in a world of spirits where her parents have been turned into pigs to be slaughtered later. Now, she has to work for the witch Yubaba and find a way to free herself and her parents and return to the human world. Even though it released in 2001, it is, to this date, the highest-grossing movie in Japan.


    3. My Neighbor Totoro

    The 1988 movie was not only a hit back then but has also garnered a cult following in the years following its release. The movie is about two sisters and their interactions with friendly wood spirits in postwar rural Japan. The movie's titular character of Totoro has become a cultural icon over the years, and it's even the Studio's mascot.


    4. Kiki's Delivery Service

    The 1989 movie is basically about a 13 years old girl named Kiki, who happens to be a witch and follows the journey of her leaving home for her independence with her pet black cat Jiji. She uses her ability to fly to her advantage and earn a living. The movie came out a year after My Neighbor Totoro and is much loved by the Japanese as well as the international audience to this day.


    5. Princess Mononoke

    Set centuries ago in a Japan where fantasy elements exist, the movie follows a young Prince Ashitaka, who's stuck in a struggle between the gods of a forest and the humans who consume its resources. The movie was released back in 1997 but is still one of the most famous movies by Studio Ghibli.
