    Humanity is a pretty narcissistic species - from inventing self-portraits to front-facing cameras, weΓ’ve been obsessed with capturing our own faces with Γ’selfiesΓ’ for a long time now. Every now and then however, you come across a selfie thatΓ’s incredible - usually depending on its context and when it was taken.

    Here are a few of the very best.

    The First Selfie Ever Taken © Wikimedia
    The selfie as we know it today began to take shape in the mid-2000s, and peaked after the iPhone 4Γ’s front camera shook up the industry in 2010. YouΓ’d be mistaken in thinking this trend was a new invention by any means though - the first actual selfie dates back. Way back, to 1839.

    The image above is a self-taken Γ’daguerreotypeΓ’ photo taken by Robert Cornelius, an American lamp manufacturer by day, but photography pioneer by night. At the age of 30, he set up a camera in the back of his familyΓ’s store, ran in front of the lens and crossed his arms - beating all of us by just over 180 years.

    After sortaΓ’ breaking the internet in 2014, this Oscar selfie became a huge deal - inspiring at least a yearΓ’s worth of memes and parodies. Interestingly, if you did the math at the time, itΓ’s not so surprising to see why it became so viral - not only does it feature some very popular A-listers, but their combined worth in 2014 skyrocketed past one billion dollars.Β 

    Sure, thatΓ’s laughable in front of a single selfie of Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos, but still, one hell of a photograph. Too bad Jared Leto didnΓ’t quite make it in.

    It happened at a rather unlikely place. Five days after Nelson MandelaΓ’s death in December 2013, the world gathered to mourn his death at JohannesburgΓ’s FNB Stadium. It was here that then-US President Barack Obama would bump into then-UK Prime Minister David Cameron, with Helle Thorning-Schmidt, the Danish PM, sandwiched in between. The three then began to take selfies together in a moment as iconic as it was controversial. Some werenΓ’t pleased that the trio thought taking selfies was appropriate for MandelaΓ’s memorial.

    The First SelfieΓ’Β¦ In Space © Twitter/Reddit
    NASAΓ’s Gemini-12 mission from 1966 had a pretty difficult goal ahead of itself - proving that human beings were capable of functionally surviving outside of a spacecraft. Before he became famous for walking on the moon, Edwin Γ’BuzzΓ’ AldrinΓ’s previous mission saw him break a different kind of record, as he took the worldΓ’s first selfie from space while holding onto the NASAΓ’s Agena spacecraft. In 2015, a vintage print of the selfie sold for around $9,200 at an auction in London.

    Seems like 1966 really was an iconic year for selfies. After turning 23, legendary Beatles lead guitarist George Harrison decided to spend some time in India, visiting the Taj Mahal and taking this iconic photograph. Not only did he have a classic piece of music history in his hands, this very same visit saw him pick up the sitar, learning under the tutelage of Pandit Ravi Shankar.

    TottiΓ’s Selfie Celebration For A.S. Roma © Twitter
    While Italian football has certainly seen better days, back in the 2015 season, Francesco Totti blew back LazioΓ’s two-nil lead with two goals of his own, celebrating by taking footballΓ’s most famous selfie - but did you know it was all planned?

    © A.S.Roma
    According to the team website; Γ’I gave my phone to [goalkeeping coach] Guido Nanni,Γ’ explained Totti. Γ’I asked him to take it with him when he went out to the pitch.Γ’ Twenty minutes later, Totti performed his miracle, breaking Lazio hearts and taking the selfie. And the actual photo? Totti handed his phone to one of the journalists on the club website and told him to do what he wanted with it.Β 

    It went viral, obviously.

    ModiΓ’s Bollywood Selfie © Twitter
    This one blew up across Indian news back in January 2019 - the Prime Minister attended a meeting organised by filmmaking mogul Karan Johar and producer Mahaveer Jain. The delegates also included celebrities like filmmaker Rohit Shetty, actors Bhumi Pednekar, Ashwini Iyer, Sidharth Malhotra, Ekta Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Vicky Kaushal and Varun Dhawan. Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana were also there, and the former snapped this selfie which lead to not just excited Bollywood fans, but a good deal of political debate around the ties between film and government.

    With the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) taking over the world, governments in multiple countries are busy devising preventive measures and restricting people to pretty much their homes in a bid to contain the epidemic. As the deadly virus continues to take a toll, normalcy in numerous parts of the globe has been affected.

    The sporting world, too, continues to bear the brunt of the fast-spreading COVID-19 which has led to the suspension and cancellation of numerous tournaments. With the movement of players restricted, many have resorted to social media to spread awareness and share their thoughts on the epidemic.

    Sachin Tendulkar, who called time on his cricketing career in 2013, was enthralling cricket fans in the Road Safety Series, featuring other cricket legends, before it was indefinitely postponed. While the decision taken in accordance to COVID-19 outbreak denied the fans an opportunity to see the 'Little Master' in action, it also restricted Tendulkar to just social media activity.

    Γ’ Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) March 14, 2020
    On 14th March, Tendulkar used the opportunity to wish Bollywood mega star and his dear friend Aamir Khan on his 55th birthday. Taking to Twitter, the Indian batting legend shared a picture of himself in the company of 'Mr Perfectionist' with a caption that read: "Happy birthday to my dear friend Aamir Singh Chaddha".

    While cricket fans rejoiced with his birthday wish for Aamir, many were left scratching their heads about the name he used in the tweet. Well, the former Indian cricketer's tweet was in reference to Aamir's upcoming Bollywood movie Laal Singh Chaddha. The movie, which also stars Kareena Kapoor and is expected to be released this Christmas, is a Hindi remake of famous Tom Hank-starrer flick Forrest Gump.
    A great actor and even better human being.
    Wish you a very happy birthday @aamir_khan. Stay blessed!
    Γ’ Ajinkya Rahane (@ajinkyarahane88) March 14, 2020
    Apart from Tendulkar, Indian Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane also wished Aamir on his birthday. "A great actor and even better human being.Β 

    Wish you a very happy birthday @aamir_khan. Stay blessed!," Rahane tweeted.

    For all the fans who have been waiting to see Shah Rukh Khan on the big screen, the news of him making an appearance in Karan JoharΓ’s upcoming movie, Brahmastra, will be nothing less than a welcome development.Β 

    Earlier this year, Karan Johar had confirmed that SRK indeed has a special appearance in the Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer.Β 

    View this post on InstagramMark your calendars for #Brahmastra Γ° Releasing 04.12.2020A post shared by (@aliaabhatt)
    Now, a report in Pinkvilla has revealed that Khan will be playing a scientist in the movie.Β 

    "Brahmastra is designed in such a way that each of these actors play a key role in the narrative. Ranbir's character meets each of them at different times of his quest to find the Brahmastra. While Nagarjuna plays an archaeologist, SRK essays the role of a scientist," a source told the entertainment portal.

    The source added, Γ’Nagarjuna, Shah Rukh and Dimple Kapadia are all aids to Ranbir's character at specific points in the plot and push the story ahead. All of them have clues leading Ranbir to the Brahmastra. The film opens with Shah Rukh's sequence. It's a long scene and SRK shot it over ten days at Film City earlier this year."

    People are, obviously, excited to see him make an appearance but are now demanding for a full-fledged movie, saying it's about time King Khan had a comeback.Β Β 

    Why you always waste your talent and time to do such cameos for so called friends!

    But he needs good advisors around him to choose excellent subjects!!
    Γ’ ramodΓ’ (@PramodSpeaks) March 14, 2020Β Well, it will surely be interesting to see him back on the big screen.
    In an earlier report in Mid-Day, a source had said that SRKΓ’s character is one of the key highlights of the film and comes at a crucial point in the narrative of the film, which is a mix of fantasy and mythology.
    Brahmastra, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, Dimple Kapadia along with cameos by Shah Rukh Khan and Nagarjuna, will be releasing in theatres on December 4, 2020.
    Excited for this one? Let us know in the comments section below.

    Owing to its popularity across at the globe, cricket as a sport has a tendency of catapulting the cricketers into the limelight overnight.Β 

    But, the players aren't the only ones who enjoy the spotlight. Over the years, commentators have proved to be an integral part of cricket with their analysis and insight of the game.
    We've seen the likes of Geoffrey Boycott and Tony Greig becoming household names for their knowledge of the game and dry humour that made cricket matches much more than just a contest on the field.Β 
    But, just like the cricketers, commentators, too, can have a rough outing and eventually fall from grace - something that Sanjay Manjrekar continues to witness time and again.Β

    Γ’ Flighted leggie ?? (@flighted_leggie) November 24, 2019
    The Indian commentator is one of the most popular and respected voices in the sport. But, 2019 didn't exactly pan out the way former Indian cricketer would have expected. From his public spat with Ravindra Jadeja to indecent remarks towards Harsha Bhogle during live coverage of a match, there were a lot of ups and downs for Manjrekar. But, things appear to have reached an all-time low for Manjrekar now.Β 

    While the world continues to battle the novel Coronavirus outbreak, the news of Manjrekar getting axed from commentary panel of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) went completely unnoticed.Β 
    He was not seen in Dharamsala during the 1st ODI between India and South Africa, while all other commentators on the BCCI panel including Sunil Gavaskar and L Sivaramakrishnan were present.Β 
    © Twitter/@sanjaymanjrekar
    The 54-year-old was part of the BCCI's commentary panel for the last three World Cups and virtually all International Cricket Council (ICC) events since his retirement in 1996.Β 

    However, his recent exploits appear to have led to BCCI's decision of sacking him from their commentary panel. And, the media reports suggest that he will also be excluded from commentating in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).Β 
    While there is no official word on what exactly led to Manjrekar's sacking, a Mumbai Mirror report quoted a BCCI source saying: "Maybe he will be left out from the IPL panel too. At this stage, it is not on top of our mind. But the fact is, they are not happy with his work".Β 
    Though the news serves as a major blow to Manjrekar, the BCCI's latest decision left many Indian cricket fans elated on social media.Β 
    I don't know how true this news is about Sanjay Manjrekar being sacked from the commentary panel by BCCI, if it's true then may be not corona but at least we succeeded in curing the other kind of virus.

    Calling Jadeja bits and pieces was the beginning of his downfall.
    Disrespecting Harsha Bhogle on live commentary was the final nail.

    One wonders whether the young, 13-year old computer hobbyist from Seattle, Washington knew just how far his passion would take him in the decades ahead. William Henry Gates III ended up forging a path that didnΓ’t just make him one of the most powerful and influential men in the world, but also simultaneously changed the course of humanity.

    From hacking campus software to signing deals with IBM at the age of 25, Gates knew how to play the game, and he did so with ruthless tenacity - behind the coderΓ’s screen and in front of the entire world, as the 65-year old tech titan steps down from Microsoft's board of directors this Friday.
    Here are some of the most incredible things heΓ’s created and achieved over the years..

    BASIC Interpreter
    © CNBC
    GatesΓ’ early career was one hell of a story to begin with - somewhat reminiscent of Mark ZuckerbergΓ’s actions in 2004, Gates dropped out of Harvard University on a mission to start his own company. It all began in 1975, when, on reading the January issue of Popular Electronics, he noticed a demonstration of the Altair 8800 microcomputer platform. Partnering with Paul Allen, Gates set up a meeting with Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS), while doing three very important things - writing code to emulate Altair, creating the BASIC interpreter software and finding a name for his new company - Allen named their partnership "Micro-Soft", a combination of "microcomputer" and "software".

    The IBM Partnership
    © Washington(dot)edu
    Perhaps the most important, crucial catalyst for modern computing to bloom, this key series of events began with IBM approaching Microsoft in 1980 to develop software for the original IBM Personal Computer. After learning that IBM was interested in getting someone to develop an operating system for the iconic machine, Gates and Allen cut a deal with the owners of QDOS, or the Γ’Quick & Dirty Operating SystemΓ’. Soon, Γ’PC-DOSΓ’ was delivered to IBM for a one-time fee of $50,000.

    This deal spurred massive global interest in Microsoft, which sold Γ’MS-DOSΓ’ to the tune of 100 million copies in subsequent years, and truly transformed GatesΓ’ life.
    The Launch Of Windows

    The mid-eighties were a trying time for Gates. He had already lost one of his best friends to a mountain climbing accident in college, and after heated fights over assets with his partner Paul Allen, he learnt that he is suffering from Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of blood cancer. He then left Microsoft in 1983.

    It was during these dark days that Gates presided over the development and launch of a program originally known as Γ’Interface ManagerΓ’, that would eventually form an extension of MS-DOS known as Windows 1.0. Introducing Calculator, Calendar, Cardfile, Clipboard viewer, Clock, Control Panel, Notepad, Paint, Reversi, Terminal and Write, the new operating system duelled against Apple until eventually dominating 77% of the worldΓ’s computers.
    Becoming The WorldΓ’s Youngest Self-Made Billionaire

    Γ’I don't think anyone at the company is in it for the money," Gates said in a 1984 interview. Just 3 years later, however, he would make it to the cover of Fortune magazine, as the youngest person to make it to a billion bucks. Still, despite the fame and (pun intended) fortune, Gates kept his focus on bringing accessible computing to the world.

    "It's a much more exciting field than trying to measure exactly how much we're selling or how much it's worth,Γ’ he continued. Γ’The creation of these programs is something you can sit down and see people enjoying and solving real problems.Γ’
    The Launch Of Windows 95
    © Microsoft
    Looking back at the history of computing, Windows 95 truly was the gamechanger that led to the experience we have with using PCs today.Β 

    The original Windows 1.0 OS was essentially a graphical version of MS-DOS, born to compete against the GUI on Apple's 'Lisa'. In comparison, Windows 95 was designed to replace MS-DOS and enabled revolutionary features such as multi-tasking, Plug and Play and a modern desktop experience we can still effectively use today.
    Becoming The WorldΓ’s Richest
    © Reuters
    Bill Gates became the richest man on the planet at the age of 39, and he stayed at number one on the Forbes list of the World's Richest People until 2007, just a year before stepping away from the CEOΓ’s office. Gates was worth more than $101 billion in 1999; while Wired reports that, when Microsoft stock hit a high in 1996, he was earning $30 million a day.

    To Becoming The WorldΓ’s Most Generous

    If revolutionising the world wasnΓ’t enough, once Gates stepped down as CEO in 2008, he and his wife Melinda Gates put all their attention towards charity work, focusing on building up global initiatives in healthcare, agriculture, gender equality and especially education. With a total donation grant corpus of over $50 billion, their foundation became the most generous charitable organisation in the world.

    Aamir Khan, BollywoodΓ’s very own Mr Perfectionist, is believed to be a true magician when it comes to turning all that he touches into gold. Well, barring Thugs of Hindostan.Β 

    But this 55-year-old Bollywood veteran has so many good titles to his name, that something like a Thugs of Hindostan doesnΓ’t quite succeed to shake our faith in his calibre as an actor.

    But did you know that there are a handful of superhit blockbuster films that Aamir rejected over the span of his 32-year-old career? We agree you may have thought about it, but wait till you find out about some of the priceless ones our Mr Perfectionist missed out on:

    1. Saajan

    © Eros International
    Before Sanjay Dutt took on the role of Sagar in this superhit movie, Aamir Khan was approached to star opposite Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit. However, Aamir declined the offer because he didnΓ’t like the character.

    2. DarrΒ 
    © Yash Raj Films
    This was perhaps one of the earliest times when the Γ’obsessive loverΓ’ was brought alive on the silver screen in Bollywood. ItΓ’s almost impossible to forget the psychotic Rahul Mehra and his Γ’K..K..K...KiranΓ’.Β 

    But reportedly, Yash Chopra had first offered this iconic role to Aamir, who declined it because he wasnΓ’t sure about playing a villain so early on in his career.

    3. Hum Aapke Hain Koun

    © Rajshri Productions
    A Rajshri Productions classic, this one really added a substantial fan following to SalmanΓ’s Bollywood journey. But PremΓ’s role was first offered to Aamir, who ended up rejecting the role because he didnΓ’t find the script meaty enough.

    4. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

    © Yash Raj Films
    WeΓ’re so sure this must have hurt Aamir a whole lot. This Aditya Chopra directorial debut was first offered to Aamir who declined it.Β 

    Later Salman also rejected the film, which was finally taken up by Shah Rukh Khan and boy, did it change SRKΓ’s career graph or what!

    5. Mohabbatein

    © Yash Raj Films
    This is yet another Aditya Chopra directorial that Aamir declined, and we think he shouldnΓ’t have. It was after AamirΓ’s rejection that SRK was roped in to play the Γ’love guruΓ’ Raj Aryan Malhotra.

    6. Swades

    © UTV Motion Pictures
    Having worked with Aamir in mega-blockbuster Lagaan, director Ashutosh Gowariker wanted to cast Aamir in Swades too. But Aamir wasnΓ’t convinced about the story and therefore rejected it. And as we know today, AamirΓ’s loss was SRKΓ’s gain.

    7. Bajrangi Bhaijaan

    Reportedly, the makers of this 2015 blockbuster had first offered the lead role to Aamir who suggested a few changes in the script which were rejected by the director. So, Aamir then suggested that Salman be approached for the role instead.

    Research led by an Indian-origin engineer has resulted in a camera lens that does not need to focus on subjects. The new breakthrough for camera lens technology is a huge leap, considering the camera lenses that are used in smartphones today. Phones require multiple lenses in order to capture high-quality images and this new development may just change how smartphones are made.Β 

    © University of Utah
    The researchers published their findings in the journal Optica and said, "Our flat lenses can drastically reduce the weight, complexity and cost of cameras and other imaging systems while increasing their functionality," said research team leader Rajesh Menon from the University of Utah. "Such optics could enable thinner smartphone cameras, improved and smaller cameras for biomedical imaging such as endoscopy, and more compact cameras for automobiles.Γ’

    He further described how the new flat lenses can maintain focus on objects that are 6m apart from each other. Flat lenses use nano-structures patterned on a surface rather than plastic or glass that makes the lens bulky. This new flat lens, if used in smartphones could potentially change how smartphones are made and even self-driving vehicles.

    © University of Utah
    Γ’This new lens could have many interesting applications outside photography such as creating highly efficient illumination for LIDAR that is critical for many autonomous systems, including self-driving cars," said Menon.

    Menon added, Γ’The new lens eliminates the need for focusing and allows any camera to keep all objects in focus simultaneously. Conventional cameras also use multiple lenses to keep different colours of light in focus simultaneously. Since our design is very general, we can also use it to create a single flat lens that focuses all colours of light, drastically simplifying cameras even further.Γ’

    © University of Utah
    The researchers are now looking to ensure that these flat-lenses can be mass manufactured and extend the lens to higher apertures. This will enable the lens to function in the full visible light spectrum.Β 

    Γ’This research is a good example of how abandoning traditional notions can enable devices previously considered impossible,Γ’ said Menon. Γ’It serves as a good reminder to question dictates from the past.Γ’

    When it comes to style, Saif Ali Khan represents the epitome of what most men normally would think of themselves. Which basically means that for someone who really doesn't care that much about what he's wearing, or how has he styled himself, he still manages to look dapper and stylish as anything.
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    While most men like us live in a delusion of our own making, Saif actually has the ability to pull basically anything and everything off with great style and flair.Β 
    Basically, whether he is dressed in a surreal, bespoke suit,Β or a basic set of denim jeans and kolhapuris,Β Saif just owns everything with an air of confidence and authority that is very rare to find. A quality that surely befits a nawab.
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    Is it any wonder, therefore, that even when he is dressed in something as basic as pyjamas, he somehow manages to turn heads somehow?
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    Saif was recently spotted in Mumbai wearing a very basic pair of pyjamas and a t-shirt with quirky prints, something that people would normally wear to the gym, or would wear when they are chilling out at home.Β 
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    What makes this outfit of his worth talking about, is his choice of accessory.Β 
    With a rather seemingly basic pair of sweatpants from Superdry, Saif is wearing a rather exquisiteΒ watch from Rolex.
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    The particular watch that Saif is wearing is an older version (25 years, to be exact) of the Oyster Deepsea in 44 mm, and it indeed is every horologist's wet dream, simply because of how rare it is.
    The watch was a part of a series of watches that are designed and mainly catered for mariners and people who frequently dive deep into the sea, for scientific studies, exploration, or just for rescue and salvage operations.
    Β 
    Β© Rolex
    With a self-winding mechanical movement, the Deepsea is capable of working rather well at a depth of 12800 feet or 3900 metres.Β 

    Β© Viral Bhayani
    Like all Rolexes, the Deepsea has the Perpetual, or Rolex's patented sweeping movement. This means that the second's hand, instead of moving in the familiar tick-tock pattern of regular watches, has a sweeping and gradual motion.Β 
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    The current itertion of the particular piece that we see Saif wearing is listed for Rs 8.5 Lakhs. Good luck finding the exact same piece that you see on Saif's wrist in the retail market today. Because of their high demand, and the legacy that the Deepsea has, and the rarity of piece that is in mint condition, these timepieces are extremely rare and pricey to come by.
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    When you consider all this and the fact that Saif is wearing the Deepsea with basic pyjamas, you can't help but notice the eccentricity of Saif's choices. All we can say is β€œshauk badi cheez hai…”

    Γ’The most luxurious SUV ever madeΓ’ isnΓ’t a title that comes overnight.Β 

    Surviving everything from bankruptcy to changing global economies, Rolls-Royce has thrived for over 113 years now. The company has defined not just the automobile industry at its greatest, but luxury itself - so it isnΓ’t surprising that eventually, the minds at Derby, England came up with a vehicle thatΓ’s so stuffed with modern luxury goodies that it weighs about three tons.
    Still, if you happen to be investment banker royalty, youΓ’d be pleased to know that this special edition Cullinan is worth its weight in gold. Here are a few reasons why.
    The WorldΓ’s Greatest Doors

    It all starts from the second you touch the handles - Rolls-Royce has made their passenger doors rear hinged since the first generation Phantom in 2003, and the originalΓ’s bigger sibling is no exception. Open her up and youΓ’ll spot a cubbyhole inside the door panel featuring another classic Rolls experience - noticing that thereΓ’s an actual umbrella inside. Two come with each vehicle, and they both cost close to $700.Β

    Sit down, sink your feet into $3000 lambswool floor mats, and press a nearby button to shut the door - you donΓ’t even need to close it yourself.

    Backseat Stargazing

    Stepping into a Cullinan at night can be pretty breathtaking if this immersive little trick is switched on. Using a complicated array of fibre optics, all hand soldered by a team of dedicated artisans, an array of stars are displayed on the headliner, or ceiling of your cabin. WhatΓ’s unique about the Black Badge is that every now and then, youΓ’ll spot tiny shooting stars dash across your eyes. A lame gimmick if any other brand did this, but with Rolls, it looks simply fabulousΓ’Β¦ while costing $12,000.
    An Insane Seating Experience

    Everywhere on the Cullinan Black Badge, youΓ’ll spot the infinity loop symbol - and nowhere is this more apparent than right in the back seat. The seats themselves have all the luxury gimmicks youΓ’d expect, but with cooled seats, massage settings, touchscreen panels that fold at the push of a button and a refrigeration unit - with the choice of uncooled liquor or cooled.

    ThereΓ’s even champagne flutes and a couple shot glasses, so you can toast to the $18,000 bill.
    The Greatest Upholstery In Car Making

    You will find leather on every conceivable surface, as expected, but the thoughtfulness of RollsΓ’ designers here is subtle and quite brilliant. Even the climate control dials are coated with a layer of stitched leather, making sure that from the moment you step into the car, you rarely touch any other material.Β

    Pair this with rear seat leather cushions and complete freedom with customisation, and youΓ’ll rarely want to leave this thing. If you come up to Rolls with a unique colour or pattern, theyΓ’ll have it for you. No questions asked.

    The Engine

    Well, it's not just what meets the eye. After all, to pull a 3-ton beast you need a powerful engine, right? Powering all of this opulence is a 6.7L V12 with 600 horses on tap - a healthy 37 more than the base model. Pair that with a superb all-wheel setup and an 8-speed gearbox, and your chauffeur is sure to enjoy himself too.
