    Everyone across the globe is finding ways to deal with the social distancing situation at the moment. To balance out the level of insanity, people are doing innovative things every day and are trying to make the most of this time. 
    But if we think of our regular monthly routine, for example, getting hair coloured or even regular hair cuts, everything has now come to a standstill. In such situations, you can always rely on fun things you can do at home. Now that salons and other home services are shut due to the pandemic, you can actually colour your hair, just the way you like it, without any use of chemical hair dyes, using only natural ingredients. Check it out.

    Before we start, let us tell you that home remedies are not very long-lasting but they are better than chemical dyes since there's no damage and it looks like a natural colour. You can use carrot juice if you want a reddish tint on your hair follicles. Depending on the original colour of your hair, you can take a call on this home remedy.

    1. Mix 1 small cup of carrot juice with 2 tbsp. coconut oil. Once this mixture is ready, apply it gradually on your strands.
    2. Cover your hair with the help of shower cap and keep it on for at least an hour.
    3. If you have apple cider vinegar, use it to wash your hair. If the colour isn't as strong, you can repeat the process again.

    One has to limit the usage of exotic grocery items so we can survive for the coming days. So, do this only if you have stocked enough for the coming days. To give your hair a darker shade, you can make good use of coffee to add more boost to your hair as well.

    1. Brew coffee (take one spoon) and add half a spoon coffee powder to it separately. Add your leave-in-conditioner as well.
    2. Apply this solution on your damp hair. Once you do so, let it stay on your hair for at least an hour.
    3. Wash it off later and repeat it if you can and if need be.

    For a deeper red tint and cooler undertones, you can simply go for beet juice. To use this natural dye, here's what you need to do.

    1. Mix 1 small cup of beet juice with a 2 tbsp of coconut oil.
    2. Mix it well and use it slowly on your grey strands. Again, wrap your hair with a shower cap.
    3. Let this be on for at least an hour before you wash it off.
    4. Sage © iStock
    If you have dark hair colour and want to scale it up more, sage leaves are a hair dye solution that you should not miss out on. It will help deepen the original shade and enhance your hair colour even more.

    1. Add 1 cup of dry sage leaves in boiling. The tint will get darker as you keep boiling it.
    2. Let it cool down and strain it.
    3. Wash your hair and then pour sage water. Keep it for as long as possible.
    4. The tint will develop on your hair eventually. Rinse it off with normal water.
    Try these, and let us know if you have more fun ideas with other ingredients.

    Most of us are feeling like Bigg Boss contestants stuck inside the house for the next few weeks and we are running out of activities to pass our time. Now that you have all the time in the world whatâs better than watching a few throwback Bollywood movies? Exactly, nothing is better! So, here is a list of throwback Bollywood films that will lighten your mood and make you feel that everything is back to normal! 
    1. Hum Sath Sath Hai
    This is the all-time best multi-starrer movie that will keep your mind engrossed and has exactly everything that we need. From âmasalaâ love stories to family drama mixed with a lot of songs.
    If itâs been a while that you haven't watched this film, itâs time that you watch it again! 
    2. Biwi No. 1 
    This Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen, and Karisma Kapoor starrer will take you back to simple times when the only problems were family drama and not this quarantine. This film is a perfect mix of comedy and drama. Also, the songs in the film are a treat.
    3. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam 
    Now, this film will definitely make you cry if you have ever fallen in true love and is a classic love story that everyone needs to watch. This is a film that is never going to get old and stars Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Ajay Devgn in the lead role. 
    4. Andaz Apna Apna
    Now, this film was neither path-breaking and nor revolutionary but still, this film is one of the most loved films of the time. From making you laugh to giving us popular characters such as Crime Master Gogo, Teja, and Amar. Just watch it for the laugh riot guys! 
    5. Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar 
    This film was one of Bollywoodâs blockbusters and takes us back to our school and college days. This Aamir Khan Starrer is a classic and wouldnât let you feel bored at all. Also, some of us will watch the film just for the song âPehla Nashaâ.

    This is a 27-year-old story where two titans of the technology world were competing with each other for the dominant personal computer spot. In August of 1997, Bill Gates saved Apple, which at the time was on the brink of bankruptcy. While most companies would let their rivals die out, this is the story of when two companies decided to help each other out instead of letting one fold. 
    © Pinterest
    âBill, thank you. The worldâs a better place,â Jobs told Gates when Microsoft invested $150 million in Apple and offered free access to use Microsoft Office on Mac personal computers. This historic move saved Apple from going down under and in exchange, Apple dropped their lawsuit against Microsoft, claiming the company copied their operating system. 

    20 years ago this week, Steve Jobs was on the cover of @TIME, thanking @BillGates for "saving Apple." pic.twitter.com/AhUnLnOZ8t
    â Codecademy (@Codecademy) August 24, 2017However, 10 years later, the two CEOs met on-stage at the D5 tech conference and relived the memory of coming together. 


    In the interview, Jobs said "Apple was in very serious trouble,â and what was really clear was that "if the game was a zero-sum game where for Apple to win, Microsoft had to lose, then Apple was going to lose.â
    âThere were too many people at Apple and in the Apple ecosystem playing [that] game,â he explained. âAnd it was clear that you didnât have to play that game because Apple wasnât going to beat Microsoft.â
    © Pinterest
    âTo me, it was pretty essential to break that paradigm,â Jobs said. âAnd it was also important that you know, Microsoft was the biggest software developer outside of Apple, developing for the Mac. So it was just crazy what was happening at that time. And Apple was very weak and so I called Bill up and we tried to patch things up.â

    For Microsoft, it was a new business opportunity as well as a way to get Apple back on its feet. While Gates did end up with 18.2 million Apple shares, but these were non-voting shares as Microsoft was their fiercest rival. Eventually, Gates sold all of Apple shares in 2003, however as of 2019, those shares would have been worth $40-50 billion. 
    âThatâs worked out very well,â said Gates at the D5 tech conference. âIn fact, every couple years or so, thereâs been something new that weâve been able to do on the Mac and itâs been a great business for us.â
    Well, many thought that this tech mythic story wasnât true until the two CEOs met for an interview together. Thereâs no doubt it is a great story about the two rivals. It proves eliminating competition isnât the only way to win and in turn, working together helped both companies to become the richest organisations in the world. What makes this story extraordinary is the fact that Bill Gates at the time was a cut-throat businessman and had a reputation for not being apologetic. Today, Bill Gates is known for his generosity and philanthropy, but he was a very different person in 1997 who chose to save his rival rather than see it sink.

    We're witnessing an unprecedented event in history right now. The coronavirus pandemic has taken over our lives. While some nations across the world are under lockdown, some people are willingly practising social distancing. This means a lot of us are sitting at home right now. And while there's nothing we can do about this situation, we can, however, make the most of this situation by doing things that we've always wanted to do. For instance, growing a beard. A bunch of factors come in the way against growing the perfect beard: the weather, corporate dress code, daily commute or maybe just not having the time. Well, guess what, now you have all of those things. So, here's why you should grow the beard of your dreams right now.

    If there's one barrier that can prevent your skin from dirt, grime or skin allergies, it's a beard. They shield your skin by turning into a barrier.
    4. Beards Can Make The Skin Underneath Healthy

    A beard can dramatically change your appearance and sometimes in a way that you might appreciate. If you're looking for a change, these three weeks is the perfect time to grow a beard.

    Every year, a ton of new games make it to the market and though not all of them are worth your time and money, it becomes very difficult to find out the ones that are worth picking up. Of course, we review a lot of them to tell you whether or not it's worth buying but we also come across a lot of disappointing titles almost every now and then.
    Well, I decided to list these games out because I seem to have too much time to think about these games during the lockdown. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that none of these games are bad by any means. I mean, it's a huge task to make a game and release it to the public, so if anything, we should appreciate their efforts.
    So I am simply pointing out the ones which I found to be very disappointing. Essentially, we're looking at an "overhyped and underdeliver" kind of situation here with these games. Let's check it out -
    Watch Dogs

    Watch Dogs is one of those games that literally made me go "Wowza" when I first saw it at an E3 keynote 6 years ago. Seriously, it was one of the best looking video game demos that I had ever seen. But the final retail version that shipped to the players? Well, it was nothing like what we were promised. Anyway, it's currently available for free from the Epic Games Store, so you can check it out if you want to.
    Fable 3

    If you've played Fable 3, then you're probably wondering why is this game in the list of most disappointing games? Well, as I mentioned earlier, we're talking about the games that couldn't really deliver on the promises made before their release. Fable 3's designer Peter Molyneux is the one considered to be guilty of this.

    Game Of Thrones RPG
    The only good thing about the Game Of Thrones RPG was the story. I mean, you just can't go wrong with a GoT plot, right? Oh wait, I forgot about season 8. Anyway. The GoT RPG game was disappointing in almost every way. The game mechanics were bad and even the graphics were simply not that great. Simply put, it wasn't on par with the RPGs that were ruling at that time.
    Duke Nukem Forever
    This is a game that was sitting in development for 15 years. The devs started working on it back in 1997 and it came out 2011. The game legit feels veery old due to that. Everything from dialogue, gameplay mechanics and even graphics, feels like it was made for a 90s game. However, there was way too much hype surrounding this game, and it simply couldn't deliver it.

    While for most people, dandruff may be somewhat seasonal, there are a few who shed a lot throughout the year. Dandruff basically is the flaked skin of the scalp. So any minor skin condition around the scalp, or a dry or oily scalp, and youâll have constant dandruff, no matter what the season.

    Trust us when we say this, it can get pretty embarrassing at times, as people assume that you are just dirty and do not shampoo your hair. Now, when youâre under quarantine, it may not seem to be a problem if you have âdirty hair.â However, leaving it untreated during this whole time will only aggravate the situation.

    As wonderful as they seem to be, shampoos donât always work. Yes, they may get you a clean mane for some time, probably a day or two. You need proper, medicated shampoos, and that for a prolonged time if you really want to see the results. However, god luck on getting your hands on them, given the current lockdown. Furthermore, if you were getting your hair treated at salons for dandruff, even that is out of the window for now.

    © iStock
    Well, fret not. Here are some quick home remedies that you can try out during the length of the quarantine that should significantly reduce your dandruff shedding problem and help you get that awesome mane that you have been looking for. 
    Lemon Segments Massages

    You donât even need fresh lemons actually, for this. Just massage some partially squeezed, but clean lemon segments on your scalp for a couple of mins every day and wash it off with normal water. The lemon helps in neutralising the pH imbalance which is often the cause of dandruff and a lot of skin conditions.  
    Garlic & Honey Hair Pre-Conditioner

    Slightly crush a few cloves of garlic and let it be for a few minutes, as it oxidises. Add a few teaspoons of honey, and mix it will. Using one of the cloves from the resulting mixture, rub the honey on your scalp, really well. Garlic is particularly useful when it comes to treating dandruff. A lot of the organic anti-dandruff products that you see on the market, uses garlic as one of their ingredients, 
    A Tea Tree Oil Massage

    As much as we love a good coconut oil champi, tea tree oils work far better on dandruff ridden scalps. A good and thorough massage with some tea tree oil works wonders on your scalp and keeps dandruff at bay for a considerable time. Plus, the other nutrients in the oil is really great for the hair follicles and the general health of your scalp.
    Baking Soda, Curd, and Mint Mask

    This oneâs a little tricky to get done. With that being said, it is also the one that has the maximum payouts. In a small bowl full of curd, mix some baking soda, and some crushed mint leaves. Ensure that the curd hasnât soured, when you pick the curd. Mix all of them well, and apply the paste as a mask on your hair and scalp. Wash it off using lukewarm water and a mild shampoo if it is needed. Repeat this twice a week for 3 weeks, and you should see visibly reduced dandruff.
    Onions

    Onions have many nutrients that have great antifungal and antimicrobial properties. Furthermore, it helps with blood flow and blood circulation in your scalp. Simply blend an onion in a food blender and apply the resulting paste on your scalps and wash off. Alternatively, you can also thinly slice the onion and rub the slices on your scalp.
    Aloe Vera

    Actually, all you need is the aloe vera sap for your scalp. Just massage the sap properly onto your scalp and let it rest thoroughly for about 20 mins, before washing it off with lukewarm water. Aloe Vera not only helps in cleaning up your scalp, it also works really well in regulating your scalpâs hydration.

    Arguably one of the most popular sportspersons in the country, Virat Kohli has carved his own niche in cricket and has emerged as a befitting role model for the country's youth over the years. The Indian captain is one of the best batsmen in the modern era of the gentleman's game. His artistry with the willow and ability to deliver under pressure continue to aid Team India in dire situations. 

    The world of cricket is not alienated to cricketers rising through the ranks and taking their place amongst the greats of the game. But, there is something about the Delhi cricketer. It's not just the batting prowess of the Indian captain, but his discipline towards fitness that has allowed him to reach the pinnacle of the sport. 
    One of the fittest players around in international cricket, Kohli is an absolute livewire in the field. From converting ones into twos, batting for long hours to saving crucial runs in the field, Kohli has not only managed to reach his full potential, but has also sparked a fitness revolution in Team India.

    Karun Nair  View this post on InstagramPosted @withrepost ⢠@kunalkapoor09 In order to be explosive, you need to train explosive. You still need to have a good foundation in relative strength though, in order to maximise being explosive/powerful. You donât get to run without learning how to walk do you? . Mimicking the Trap Bar Jumps with Kettlebells & @karun_6 - Trap bar jumps are a great way to improve explosive strength,speed & power. Can be used to help increase force production and Rate of Force Development. There are a lot of athletes who are extremely gifted on the field but arenât technically equipped to carry out Olympic lifts (cleans,snatches)in the gym,especially when they are newly exposed to it close to an event/tournament. Trap bar jumps provide a good and relatively safer alternative to an Olympic lift, as they are technically less demanding and can be learnt in quick time. That being said, the athlete must have good landing mechanics and good eccentric strength in order to absorb the forces of the landing in this exercise. . Ps - Your talent is no good if you arenât playing on the field so train smart. ___________ ⢠⢠#strength #strengthandconditioning #athlete #sport #cricket #coach #tripleextension #jump #power #legs #trainhard #trainsmart #hardworkbeatstalentA post shared by (@karun_6)
    In October 2018, the Indian selectors had raised a few eyebrows with their selection for the two Tests against West Indies. 

    The likes of Rohit Sharma and Karun Nair were left out which saw the latter questioning the then MSK Prasad-led selection committee. It was then that Nair made a claim which still remains unbelievable. 
    Claiming to be the fittest player in Team India, Nair had said: "Iâve been spending a lot of time with (Shanker) Basu Sir, our trainer and Sanjay Bangar sir as well, our batting coach. Obviously a lot of throwdowns and a lot of net sessions. But mainly I have been spending time with Basu Sir. According to him, I am the fittest person in the team right nowâ.
    Sardar Singh View this post on InstagramYou are in control of yourself. Get in the gym. Work hardA post shared by (@sardarsingh8)
    Arguably one of the most iconic sportspersons in the country, Sardar Singh was one of the most vital cogs in the Indian hockey team during his playing days. 

    He became the youngest captain to lead India in 2008 when he marshalled the troops at Sultan Azlan Shah Cup. In 2015, he was awarded the prestigious Padma Shri for his contributions to Indian hockey. And, in 2018, he called time on his international career. 
    While the list of achievements for Sardar remains long, there is one particular feat that continues to turn heads in the sports fraternity. Months before his retirement, Sardar made a sensational comeback to the Indian hockey team. 
    Dropped from the squad due to his inconsistent speed on the turf, Sardar put in the long hours and sweated it out in the training sessions to achieve the necessary fitness levels. And, while doing so, he also recorded a sensational score of 21.4, currently the highest registered in Indian sports, in the 'Yo-Yo Test'.

    Marking a refreshing twist in a stateâs approach towards its migrant workforce, the Kerala government has set a precedent by referring to the migrant labourers in the state as 'guest labourers'. 

    Amid the unforeseen ongoing situation of a global pandemic, that has put countries around the world in complete lockdown, hundreds and thousands of migrant and daily wage labourers are stranded with nowhere to go. 
    Showing compassion at such a time, the Kerala government, as always, is leading by example by showing a proactive approach, not just towards handling the Coronavirus outbreak but also for its treatment of such workers, whom Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, as well as other government officials, now refer to as 'Atithi thozhilalikal'. 
    Atithi means guest and thozhilalikal means mazdoor or labourer. 
    Every good gesture must be appreciated and this particular observation was made by a journalist on Twitter who referred to this as âcreating new words/cultures during #CoronaCrisisâ. 
    In Kerala, thereâs a new word to refer to migrant workers. Itâs guest labourers (Atithi thozhilalikal). As the CM to officials started using it, itâs becoming a common word there, I am told. creating new words/culture during #CoronaCrisis
    â Liz Mathew (@MathewLiz) March 27, 2020
    Interestingly, the term was first coined by the state's Finance Minister Thomas Issac during his Budget speech in February 2018. 

    The idea behind this was to commemorate the 3.5 million migrant labourers in Kerala and honour them for their contributions to the stateâs labour force. 
    The journalistâs post on Twitter about the Vijayan government honouring the workers did not go unappreciated on social media.  
    Kerala is setting so many examples
    â Anjali Ojha (@ojhaanjali) March 27, 2020Itâs so much better than Anyasamsthaana thozhilalikal tbh!
    â Miss Mojo Jojo (@shw8ster) March 27, 2020This word declared on Pinarayi govt's budget on 2018.
    CM has been using this beautiful word ever since
    â aмal ĸrιÑнnan (@marchformass) March 27, 2020Hats off Kerala!

    We reveal who we are in times of crisis.

    And Kerala is shining through.
    â Tanushree Mainrai (@MainraiTanu) March 27, 2020Took its time, but glad its a thing now. Work is worship.
    â BrawlyPooch (@MeanderingWonk) March 27, 2020Thatâs a much better word to address them. Kerala canât survive without them. I wish the Middle East and South East Asian governments address us like that.
    â comfortablynumb (@TapTap_80) March 27, 2020However, some people also expressed concern stating that merely renaming migrant workers as 'guests' would not solve the crisis of thousands of workers as jobs are drying up right now. 
    To add to that, in the absence of public transport during the lockdown, many were forced to undertake arduous journeys back home on foot. 
    What about this?While we Tamils here are supporting keralites Kerala govt at this time of crisis forcefully evicted and dropped tamil migrant workers at borders without providing food and water..
    â The Postman (@kumarikandan) March 27, 2020Meanwhile, will you please find out whether Vijayan's Govt did arrange exit of many such 'guest workers' by special trains to Assam and Santragachi in the past few weeks???? Have been asking this to fellow malayali WARRIORS and NONE, I repeat NONE have cared to respond @seemay
    â V. Krishna Ananth (@VKrishnaAnanth) March 27, 2020yeah thts wht we need now, new words.. slow clap for the CM #ChinaVirus19
    â Low IQ Intellectual (@LowIQ18) March 27, 2020Sounds good and lessens the guilt but on critical thinking itâs OXYMONORIC. which culture ask guest to do paid work ?
    â bhupen (@bhupendubey) March 27, 2020Nevertheless, addressing them as 'guests' instead of migrants is surely a positive shift in the approach towards them which should be followed by other states too. 
    Moreover, the government has also set up community kitchens for guest labourers to ensure smooth supply of food for people hit by the crisis.

    People often like to say that it doesnât take much to become an actor these days. Of course, not all of it is fair when they say itâs a matter of good looks, decent acting skills, admirable dancing calibre or a just great âlegacyâ to put someone up there for the world to see on the silver screen.
    We all know of some great talent that Bollywood has discovered over the years. Actors who have succeeded solely based on their talent and hard work. And as if that is not enough, many of them have proved themselves twice over by not only becoming popular Bollywood actors but also published authors who have distinct titles to their name.
    Check out these 7 Bollywood actors who have written books too:
    1. Emraan Hashmi

    Following his son Ayaanâs successful fight against cancer, Emraan penned The Kiss Of Life which talks about his journey and the struggles his family faced while Ayaan went through the ordeal. 

    The book is also aimed towards helping others who have family members fighting against cancer.
    2. Nawazuddin Siddiqui

    The very talented method actor co-authored An Ordinary Life with Rituparna Chatterjee which was published in 2017. 
    The autobiography traces Nawazuddinâs journey as a struggling actor from UPâs Budhana and how he moved from doing theatre to big-banner Bollywood films over the years.
    3. Naseeruddin Shah

    Naseeruddin Shah wrote his own memoir titled And Then One Day which takes the readers through his early years as a Meerut-born, catholic-taught, leading theatre persona who made a mark for himself as an actor in Bollywood.
    4. Ayushmann Khurrana

    A 2015 publication, Cracking The Code was co-authored by Ayushmann with his wife, director Tahira Kashyap. The book talks about the making of the Bollywood star through his personal journey in the industry and offers guidance to aspiring actors.

    Veteran actor Anupam Kher has written two books so far. Aap Khud Hi Best Hain was his first title which came out in 2011 and is a self-help book that helps readers find inner happiness and change their life. 
    His second book is called Lessons Life Taught Me, Unknowingly which is the actorâs honest-to-god autobiography.
    6. Pankaj Kapur

    Theatre stalwart Pankaj Kapurâs Dopehri was first written in 1992 as a one-act play which earned him a lot of critical acclaim and was much appreciated by the audience. It was finally published in 2019 as a novella by Harper Collins.
    7. Rishi Kapoor

    The outspoken yesteryear Bollywood star penned his autobiography Khullam Khulla which came out in 2017. The memoir is every bit like Kapoor himself with tons of unapologetic spilling of beans.
    BONUS: Not many of us know this, but superstar Shah Rukh Khanâs own memoir titled Twenty Years In A Decade has been in the pipeline for some time now and reportedly, SRK is writing the book to help his daughter Suhana learn from his experiences ahead of her Bollywood debut.

    WWE WrestleMania 36 is less than 10 days away now, and we have decided to relive some of the best matches and moments that took place in the history of the biggest stage in the pro-wrestling business.

    â WWE WrestleMania (@WrestleMania) March 24, 2020 Weâll begin the series with the match that solidified the rivalry between two of the greatest wrestlers of the âAttitude Eraâ in Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. 
    Random match appreciation Tweet.

    Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Rock at WrestleMania 17 for the WWF Championship is so freakin great. I love this match so much... It's just incredible. pic.twitter.com/XKSlQn2Ar6
    â Kyle (@kyle_bardin) December 16, 2018
    The âNo Disqualificationâ match for the WWF Championship title, which was with The Rock at the moment, was made highly prestigious thanks to some brilliant storytelling, some nerve-wracking promos and some nail-biting in-ring performances by the two stars.
    According to the narrative, Vince McMahon had made Stone Coldâs then-wife Debra Marshall The Rockâs manager, whoâd get in harmâs way every now and then, because of the fact that The Rock was the champion.

    Stone Cold was also portrayed as this hungry fighter who wanted to take the title away from his rival by any means necessary. McMahon, himself, was an active part of the storyline and had made the lives of the two wrestlers an absolute hell.
    The brand took its sweet time building up to the match at WrestleMania 17. There were promos in which Stone Cold would offer The Rock a can of beer with an unusual animosity in his eyes, then there were times when The Rock was ready to strike the Texas Rattlesnake with the âRock Bottomâ but whenever the two were found to be sharing the ring, theyâd always end beating each other up.
    And then came judgement day. It was a brawl which felt as if the two wrestlers wanted to hurt each other truly and badly. There was blood dripping down from both their heads, they were finding it difficult to breathe because of how long it went for, but somehow, they managed to keep the audience on their toes.
    The commentary done by legends like Jim Ross and Paul Heyman sold the match as if Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson had somehow managed to go head to head.
    After they tried everything, stole each othersâ finishers and strangled each other with all the submission locks in the world, entered Vince McMahon. 

    When Austin asked McMahon to bring him the steel chair, that is when he changed into a heel in this storyline. Heâd go on to smash The Rock in the head with the chair a couple of times followed by a barrage of chair shots to his back before finally pinning him and winning the title. 

    This not only made Austin the champion but also made The Rock look extremely powerful.
    It is because of moments like these that this rivalry is still considered to be the best the company would ever have to offer. 
    The true fans of the profession will completely appreciate how massive this match was for both their careers and also for the company that made millions from it.

    Mass evacuations are nothing new for Indiaâs flag carrier airline. Way back in 1990, Air India helped save over 100,000 lives by coordinating the Gulf War evacuation, a mass-scale effort that lasted 59 days and cemented the airline in record books and even the silver screen in 2016âs Airlift.
    Medical evacuations are quite a different ballgame, however. Earlier this February, flights 1348 and 1349 from Wuhan to Delhi marked a major achievement for Air India, as it successfully planned and executed its first ever medical evacuation across the airlineâs 73-year history. Hereâs how it went down, and how Air India plans to conduct itâs next coronavirus mission to and from Tel Aviv, Israel.

    Caption:The aircraft used to carry the mission out were a pair of Boeing 747s, staffed by 15 cabin crew members and two sets of pilots.

    Presiding over the Wuhan mission and present on both flights was Captain Amitabh Singh, Director of Operations, Air India - the very man behind wartime evacuations from Iraq, Jordan & Kuwait. Despite having barely a day to rescue 647 stranded Indians, Singh was confident in the capabilities of his 20-man team. "Fortunately,â remarked Singh, âsince Air India has always been involved in a lot of evacuations, we have a team that is always ready and we just had to pick up the phone and tell the team that this is the operation."
    The first challenge came as a result of the Chinese authoritiesâ airport schedule, which forced Air India to plan for an 8PM CST landing - meaning that time was of the essence for the departure crew in Delhi. âBoth the flights left Delhi at 12.50 in the afternoon,â continued Singh. âThe first time the aircraft was on the ground for six-and-a-half hours in Wuhan while on the second flight we stayed for eight hours and 15 minutes. Those who were operating the special flights were only allowed to go till the aerobridge.â

    While getting to Wuhan was the easy part, Captain Singhâs main challenges would stem from the fact that the Chinese city was under total lockdown - meaning that no supplies, medical equipment or spares for the aircraft would be available to him. The solution was simple - Captain Singh manned the aircraft not just with cabin crew and a team of equipped medical professionals - the aircraft also carried engineering staff with spares, commercial staff to calculate load once the airliner was ready for takeoff, a pair of doctors and dispatchers who had to coordinate with Air Traffic Control.
    After landing in Wuhan, the local Indian Consulate began to coordinate with Captain Singhâs team - sending evacuees in batches to the airport as the aircraft was refuelled and system checks were conducted. Finally, a systematic three-layer check was carried out by the medical team before allowing any of the evacuees home - flights 1348 and 1349 were clearly not interested in taking any chances.

    Hereâs where the unique design of the Boeing 747 came into play, and why it was chosen by Captain Singh for the mission - take a look at the photograph above. Behind the smaller Boeing 777, the 747 looms at a towering 64 feet, owing to its double decker design. 
    While the upper floor on the aircraft was reserved for the pilots and cabin crew, the first-class section underneath the cockpit was reserved for doctors and engineers. The doctors for both flights were separately selected from Delhiâs Ram Manohar Lohia and Safdarjung Hospitals. Even after the stringent screening process, the doctors set up a makeshift clinic in the aerobridge which carried all the evacuees - giving the passengers information on their situation and instructing them on how to wear facemasks and the hygiene standards they would have to maintain in order to curb the virusâ spread.
    Soon after, India would repeat this feat by rescuing 263 Indians from Italy, which has the second highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the world.

    Following Prime Minister Modiâs lockdown announcement this Tuesday, the Indian Pilots Guild and Indian Commercial Pilots Association wrote a joint letter to the PMâs office, asserting their support and willingness to carry out operations regardless of the pandemicâs scale. "Air India as the national carrier has always been proud to fulfill a myriad of diverse and challenging missions, whenever required by the government to fulfill this obligation," it read. 
    The letter echoes the sentiment behind a mission thatâs currently underway at the time of writing this piece - flying 300 stranded Israelis to Tel Aviv, and returning with Indian nationals stuck in the Israeli capital. While the number of Indians weâll be seeing at Delhi airport after the flightâs return was not divulged, the aircraft chosen was a Boeing 777, which as per Air Indiaâs specifications, can fit upto 368 passengers.
    Air Indiaâs next evac mission is to evacuate about 20,000 Indians stranded in Saudi Arabia, which has 900 cases confirmed - officials have not shared any more details. Itâll prove to be the airlineâs biggest evacuation challenge since the Gulf War.
    Thankfully, we definitely have the best man for the job.

    Remember, Dr Mike from YouTube? Mikhail Varshavski, commonly known as Doctor Mike, is a Russian-American celebrity doctor in Osteopathic medicine, who got Insta-famous after being popularly tagged as #HotDoctorMike on social media. 
    Here are a few things you should know about him that range from his fight against the Coronavirus, his YouTube channel, his style aesthetic to his social media clout:
    1. With a current fan following of 3.6 million on Instagram and 5.3 million on YouTube, Doctor Mike is using his significant clout for good in the times of the Coronavirus pandemic with informative videos that ask people to stay alert, not anxious.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@doctor.mike)
    2. Dr Mike, aside from his career in medicine, started a YouTube channel wherein he tries to make medicine more familiar to his audience. 
    To make things interesting, he reviews medical dramas and breaks them down in terms of what they present accurately and what is fiction. We're talking major shows like Grey's Anatomy, House, The Good Doctor, Scrubs to name a few. 
    Here's one of his famous videos:

    3. His fan following has made eerie comparisons of him with onscreen fictional doctor 'McDreamy' from Grey's Anatomy, courtesy of his spiffy style that we get to witness on Instagram.

    4. In fact, these days, amidst the Coronavirus outbreak, he's doing everything in his reach to fight the pandemic. He was one of the first ones to put up videos on the outbreak with constant updates. 

    5. This was followed up with a doctor's perspective on the frontlines and how it's poles apart from what politicians have to say about Covid-19.

    6. Other than that, his quest to get N-95 masks for his colleagues worth 50,000 dollars are popular videos on Covid-19.
    7. If you haven't already noticed, one of the reasons why he has a huge fan following is because of the way he cleans up when he's not in his scrubs. In fact, for other fellow doctors, he's no less than an inspiration. 
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@doctor.mike)
    As of now, he's busy with patients on the frontlines in hospitals and also making videos for the rest of us (whenever he gets the time) so that we know as much as we can about this pandemic. 
    We hope to see the pandemic ending soon, so that doctors like him get the well-deserved break that they need at this point.

    To leave a bad taste in (oneâs) mouth has been stretched a little too far in this case, quite literally! At a time when the world is dealing with a deadly virus outbreak, there are people who are licking toilet seats for fun sake. And the result? Well, a TikTok user, called GayShawnMendes aka Larz, based in California recently claimed that he is admitted in the hospital after he was tested positive for coronavirus as he was part of the 'Coronavirus challenge' that involved the licking of a toilet seat. 
    A kid who licked toilets as part of the #CoronaVirusChallenge says he's now in the hospital with coronavirus. @gayshawnmendes was also just suspended from twitter pic.twitter.com/lfG2NBlTrs
    â Pardes Seleh (@PardesSeleh) March 23, 2020This news of him being hospitalised came just a few days after he took part in that bizarre challenge putting his life and his loved onesâ lives at risk.

    According to report in Daily Mail, Larz posted the news on an account that now seems to have been taken down. 
    As abhorrent as the name sounds, this 'Coronavirus challenge' involved people on TikTok licking random objects, including toilet seats, grocery store products and many more things. People on social media were angry and utterly disgusted with this act of sheer foolishness. Check out some of the reactions here:
    I am unclear if this means he won or lost the challenge.
    â All Hearing Ear (@1AllHearingEar) March 24, 2020
    And these toilet stickers will get respirators before someone else's grandparents will. Remember that
    â independant librarian Sidney Anderson (@SidneyAnderso16) March 23, 2020NO SYMPATHY! I'm just pissed the MFer is taking up space when someone more deserving should be in the hospital
    â Big F (@MrFFW) March 24, 2020I canât think of anyone who deserves to get the coronavirus more
    â Kelly Campagna (@warriorwoman91) March 24, 2020 pic.twitter.com/vKPFSn3GPL

    â Bruce Castillo (@ninerbro222) March 24, 2020Make stupid pay the hospital bill !!!!!!!!!
    â Thinker (@RayMacKinnon1) March 25, 2020Eating Tide pods, licking toilets, seriously WTF is wrong w/Gen Z?! Is this what growing up indoors online no fresh air or playing outside does to kids?? Serious question
    â Donna Bobana (@donnabobanablog) March 24, 2020 pic.twitter.com/XwJHBzEKiz
    â Enough (@wkayed57) March 24, 2020So the lesson that we take from this is to stay home, stay safe and NOT lick toilet seats or be a part of such mindless challenges!

    While coronavirus has people locked inside their homes, content streaming has reached its peak with a record number of people sitting in front of their TV and computer screens. In fact, a lot of people have come forward in support of the lockdown. Pornhub, for instance, has decided to give away its premium tier subscription for free for a year to everyone.
    Likewise, it looks like Google Play Movies will soon let its users watch movies for free. While there's no official confirmation on this, we do have solid evidence to back this up from the folks over at XDA Developers.

    An APK teardown of the Google Play Movies apps by XDA has revealed a string of code that says, "hundreds of movies, just a few ads.â It's very obvious what Google is trying to do here.

    Just like on YouTube how we get to watch almost all the videos for free by agreeing to watch the ads, Google Play Movies will also serve us free movies with ads in between. This ad-based model will let Google attract some eye-balls to the service and also allow the people to have something to watch during this lockdown period.
    As of now, it's not entirely clear as to how many ads will be served during these movies or at what intervals. But we're glad that Google has plans to explore this option. Not only will this allow a lot of users to check out Google Play Movies, but it'll also allow people to have some source of entertainment where they won't have to spend any money.
    We think it'll truly make Google Play Movies a viable source of content and a strong competitor in the market. We just hope the service lands soon.
