    As much as we hate to admit it, as cinephiles and fans of Bollywood, we often forget that there are other film industries, with some really talented actors. 

    Whether it is someone like Ram Pothineni or Allu Arjun, or Vijay Deverakonda for that matter, they were stars down South, long before they came into the limelight in Hindi speaking regions.

    One thing that is common across these stars that donât pop up on our radar, is that all of them have some serious style game, and can often teach a lesson or two to some of Bollywoodâs best-dressed men. 
    Sure, B-Towners are more prone to experiment; however, they also have the tendency to go haywire when it comes to basics.

    A neon green-coloured tank top with baby pink shorts? No thanks, Bollywood. 

    Donât even get us started with grade A celebs wearing Hawai chappals, not even flip flops, but those blue and white Hawai chappals to promotional events. Seriously, whatâs up with that?

    Clearly, when it comes to functional or just regular, normcore dressing, our Southern stars are the place where you should be looking. Take Yash, as a solid example.

    The Kannadiga actor, who, for some bizarre reason, has been off of our radar, is a bonafide fashionista. Not only does he have one of the most glorious beards in Indian cinema today, but he also has a very simple, crisp and refreshing sense of style.

    In one of his recent set of airport pictures, he can be seen in a rather simple, but casually chilled out ensemble, that honestly, is something that most of us can easily emulate on any given day.

    Yash is seen here wearing a very basic, black, v-neck t-shirt with black denim jeans, and a white jacket, which has some exaggerated technical pockets and a militaristic appeal to it.

    © Viral Bhayani
    The sneakers that Yash has paired with the outfit are also very simplistic and basic high top sneakers in white.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Given the rather simplistic and understated nature of the outfit, it is actually a very great way to go incognito when youâre at the airport, all the while looking super dapper. 

    The silhouette and the fit of the jacket look rather comfortable and relaxed, which is exactly how you should be dressed when youâre travelling, an aspect that most people forget about, when theyâre trying to dress up for the airport (we are looking at you Bollywood).

    © Viral Bhayani
    All in all, thatâs actually a great way to step out, while being totally comfortable. Understated, and yet dapper to its core thatâs the way to roll. 

    Hats off, Yash, seriously, that ensemble is the airport look done right.

    Last year, working from home was one of the luxuries that a few reaped the benefits of while others envied them. With the Coronavirus outbreak though, things have turned topsy-turvy in the last few weeks. And due to circumstances beyond our control, a lot of corporates are shutting their offices down and encouraging working from home. With a whopping rise in working from home, even workplaces that would traditionally not be this flexible, are seeking out ways to accommodate this new arrangement.
    In response to these developments, there are two insights that have come to light. Firstly, a lot of the things that previously weren't deemed possible to be worked on from home, are now surprisingly and quite efficiently, might I add, possible. Secondly, a mandate like this is a huge change for a lot of people to get acclimatized to. This is leaving people listless and anxious as no one truly knows when things will resume to normal.
    However, if you're someone new to the work-from-home arrangement and are currently finding it a little tough to be productive, here are things that you could do to keep yourself from going stir-crazy while staring at your laptop and the walls around you.
    Set Things Straight

    The secret to working from home is clear communication with your reporting manager â understanding exactly whatâs expected of you and start delivering it. People are used to spending their days in close proximity to their RM. This usually means that they can easily communicate and clear the doubts or make changes to their work. But thatâs out of the window with working remotely. Have a clear picture of your agenda for the day, before you start working each day, even if it means getting on a call with your RM each morning to get the nitty-gritties sorted.

    Work From Homes Are Not Off-Days
    © getty
    While it may seem like a luxury at first to sit around in your PJs all day, or to lounge and watch one more episode of the series that you're hooked onto on Netflix before you start working, it can lead to reduced productivity. Take a shower in the morning, don't work from your bed, maybe move to the dining table if you don't have an equipped home office. At the same time, create strict boundaries that your family members understand. Let them know that they can't disturb you when you're working. If possible, close the door when you're working - this ends up cutting out a lot of the distractions.

    But Breaks Are Important Too
    © getty
    It's important to finish the designated work, but it's also important to make the best of the situation presented. If you're someone who was previously overwhelmed with work or had never-ending commute hours, this is the time to do the things that you wouldn't normally do. Dancing in the room, baking brownies, or gaming for that matter. Give yourself short breaks, now that you're at home you can even afford to do some of these things simultaneously with work as long as you're not making any errors. This way, you have something to look forward to and keep the day moving.

    Make An Effort To Reach Out To Friends

    Taking a WFH can also sometimes mean no outside contact, especially if you live alone. Prolonged isolation can potentially impact productivity and your mental health. This is also because it's a sudden shift of routine and completely different from what we're used to. In order to have some semblance of normalcy, make it a point to call up your friends, maybe even through Skype and spend some time with them. This will help in ensuring that staying at home doesn't feel like a prison.

    Try To Stay Hopeful

    These days, it may seem like we're on the sets of the film Contagion with our everyday reality completely altered, courtesy the novel Coronavirus. Negative headlines, postponed and canceled events, and shut cinema halls can seem like a lot at once. However, it's important to remember that it's temporary and soon things will start to resume to normal.

    It's honestly so scary to think about how the coronavirus situation has gotten so out of hand is some places, that an entire freaking country is on lockdown. People in Italy right now are basically all living under quarantine after being affected by the deadly virus.

    So, since everyone is staying in to avoid spreading the virus, even more, Pornhub came up with the best idea to actually keep people from leaving their houses at all, at least this month. 

    Becoming the hero Italy - and the world - needs right now, they are providing Italians with access to their premium content for free for the entire month of March.

    Pornhub is donating its March proceeds from Modelhub to support Italy during this unfortunate time (model earnings will remain untouched). Italy will also have free access to Pornhub Premium throughout the month. Forza Italia, we love you! 𧡠pic.twitter.com/DD0nYDyrJ4
    â Pornhub ARIA (@Pornhub) March 12, 2020 On top of that, they are even donating large amounts of money to support Italy. Are we in some weird timeline right now or what? A porn company seems to be doing more during this pandemic than most of the world governments. This can't be right, but it is.

    Italy is the most affected country after China during this pandemic and it should be the last place people would want to visit, but right now, everyone else is actually a little upset they're missing out on all that premium content. 

    Well, since the flight tickets are so cheap, maybe people can just travel to Italy. YOLO. (Has anyone even said this in years?)
    Truly.
    Not the hero we need but the hero we deserve
    â Raiskill (@raiskill) March 12, 2020 Love to see it. Pornhub doing more for the world than the government. I love to see it
    â Violet Myers (â¿â â¿â ) (@violetsaucy) March 12, 2020 People are ready to risk it all. wish i lived in italy
    â very sexy man (@fcking_eggs) March 12, 2020 Great tweet. Italians: we have-a a coronavirus-a

    Pornhub: pic.twitter.com/FVzxzUIhPS
    â brian emo (@gianleov) March 12, 2020 All of it. *coming out of my room with red eyes after weeks of quarantine

    âI finished PornHub. The whole thing. Iâve seen it all. It is done.â
    â Randall Otis (@RandallOtisTV) March 12, 2020 Wow. When Zoom and Skype inevitably crash, I think professors should all switch to live camming on Pornhub because we all know that their servers can definitely handle this volume
    â Liza Brusman (@lizardwithaz) March 13, 2020 Always. Pornhub doing the Lord's work. https://t.co/cE41gvfY4L
    â Brandon Collins (@elosoblanco69) March 13, 2020 I'm telling you it's a weird timeline. how are we living in a dimension where pornhub dot com is taking more action to fight coronavirus than the president of the united states https://t.co/RiibcDtcFH
    â paul rudd (@philsadelphia) March 13, 2020 Yep. can pornhub get some sort of humanitarian prize for all the benevolence they do???? https://t.co/UisHCvqEKO
    â á´á©á´á©ð¦© (@fucconcaffeine) March 12, 2020 Apparently. Pornhub is donating itâs proceeds to Italy, they also made a whole porn video on a trashed beach and donated money to help clean up beaches... Pornhub cares more about the world then our governments. https://t.co/PEF29Oiw9Y

    As the Coronavirus or COVID-19 threat saw itself coming into March 2020, Indian authorities have kept close tabs on curtailing the spread of the virus. This has resulted in several state governments temporarily shutting down several institutions such as schools, colleges and if youâre lucky enough to work remotely, certain offices as well.
    Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal: All cinema halls to remain shut in Delhi till 31st March. Schools and colleges where exams are not being held will also remain closed. #CoronaVirus pic.twitter.com/pbuB1JNFnW
    â ANI (@ANI) March 12, 2020
    One particularly interesting way in which the virus has changed urban life in the countries it affects is by forcing authorities to clamp down on cinema halls - CM Arvind Kejriwal has followed in the footsteps of other states by keeping them shut in the capital, at least until the end of March.

    Naturally, if youâre big into movies, this is going to be rather disappointing for you - although certain producers will definitely be a lot more pissed off in comparison. Well... no more movies for a while then. All the better to binge then, I suppose? Thank goodness for TV Shows, I guess - hereâs what we recommend to binge through the dark days ahead.
    1. Pandemic: How To Prevent An Outbreak
    Pretty much required watching by this point, Pandemic helps demystify and bring clarity to the history behind several key diseases, and how humanity unites to keep itself safe. While the series was produced much before the Coronavirus surge, the final episode, which focuses on combating flu, has a lot of helpful info that can be repurposed to fighting COVID-19 - and if anything, keeps you informed and up-to-date about the future of vaccination and medicare, particularly in Asia.
    2. Kingdom
    With spirited discussion about the apocalypse going around ever since 2020 began, thereâs no better time to follow that curiosity with the recent release of Kingdomâs second season. The South Korean show takes us back to the 16th century, where a deadly zombie plague takes over amidst tense political drama. If youâre a new fan of Korean work after watching the Oscar-sweeping Parasite, itâs time you dove into the best Korean TV has to offer as well. Season 2 is just out, by the way.
    3. Better Call Saul
    Donât you miss the early 2000s, when we only had one or two major global crises to deal with? If youâre into that setting, love Breaking Bad and law dramas, youâre in luck - Better Call Saul is currently bang-smack in the middle of a roaring 5th season run, and man is the series bingeable. Several fans even suggest that this spinoff is even better than the original series - only one way to find out.
    4. Devs
    One of the brightest science-fiction minds in filmmaking today, Alex Garland's first foray into television doesnât hold back from all the fun stuff - quantum computing, morality, free-will and mental illness - the show constantly weaves through a trippy, surreal plot that keeps you on your toes throughout. Also, Nick Offerman plays a cold and ruthless tech mogul in this one - bet you Parks & Rec fans didnât see that one coming.
    5. Little Fires Everywhere
    Developed and written by Casual's Liz Tigelaar, Little Fires Everywhere follows the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. The story explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the ferocious pull of motherhood â and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster.
    6. Hunters
    Whether itâs in video games or filmmaking, Nazis seem to be making some kind of comeback in recent years. Fortunately, that provides us with plenty of opportunities to depict good guys stomping them out - and Hunters happens to be a show that provides just that. While Al Pacinoâs accent is questionable and maybe the show does slip into cliches, itâs a fun watch and well worth a quick binge. Check out our detailed review here.
    7. Dispatches From Elsewhere
    Remember Marshall from How I Met Your Mother? Dudeâs got his own show now, and itâs as far from a sitcom as you can possibly imagine. Four unsuspecting individuals find themselves invited to a series of experiences they never could have expected. A weird and whimsical journey into the unknown, Dispatches from Elsewhere's experimental approach doesn't always coalesce, but committed performances and a genuine sense of wonder make it a trip worth taking.
    8. High Fidelity
    If youâre into music, modern dating and of course, Zoe Kravitz, chances are that youâll absolutely dig High Fidelity - a show that charts the gentrification of Brooklyn while following the thoughts of Rob, a young record store owner with one hell of a life behind her.

    A dog is a manâs best friend, and there is no telling why. These loyal to a fault, selfless, adorable balls of fur add so much love and eye-opening experiences to our lives, that it is often impossible to not hold them dear at a glance.

    However, now it seems that the Bengaluru Police has decided to scale things up a bit and call on this unique animal-human friendship to include Indie dogs into their Police Canine Unit. 

    While it is pretty common to find Labradors, German Shepherds and even Dobermans in the Police squad, the inclusion of Indie breeds into the mix comes as welcome news.

    © Flickr
    The news came to light when IPS officer and Bengaluru Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao shared a 44-second clip on Twitter, which showed a young Indie pup learning to follow its trainer's instructions.

    The female pup in the video is named Pooja and does a pretty good job of following the commands. Reportedly, the Bengaluru Police is trying to experiment with Indie dogs making it to the Police Canine squad, and so far the results do not seem to be disappointing.

    We are training Indies to be part of our Police Canine Unit as an experiment... pic.twitter.com/0xbV00EbVW
    â Bhaskar Rao IPS (@deepolice12) March 12, 2020 However, here is hoping the man in the video is a certified trainer who knows what he is doing. Also, it goes without saying that these Indie fur balls would be given the same amount of love and care like other breeds in the Canine Unit get.

    Besides all that, there is one other point that is bound to catch peopleâs attention in the video, the leash which is tugged and pulled constantly during the training. 

    Animal lovers would much prefer that it be traded for a good quality harness that wouldnât hurt these paw-fect beings while training as future guard dogs ready to serve the nation.
    Sir, Indies are well trainable. I am a novice, but still managed to train my kids to basic commands they are #Lola and #Alex pic.twitter.com/YUTZ0XIuhb
    â Vicky Mahanta (@VickyMahanta) March 12, 2020 Well... Sir many who saw the video, those who have great experience with dogs said "not the right way of training" please check with few well known trainers. Regards.
    â Vicky Mahanta (@VickyMahanta) March 12, 2020 Nice to know that the Indies are being recruited. If trained well, they can be as good as many foreign breeds.
    But you need a far better trainer. One who understands the concept of balanced training and not just "only positive" training. Please avoid teaching unwanted tricks.
    â Obhijit Raha (@ObhijitR) March 13, 2020 Love this. We are willing to learn, if you know please tell us or put us across to people who can do, regards
    â Bhaskar Rao IPS (@deepolice12) March 12, 2020 People seem to love this initiative too. Awe best decision sir, Indian breeds like Mudhol, Rajapalayam are any day better

    When you manage to tear your eyes away from the sheepish smile that plays on his lips, you get the chance to behold Bollywood's most prolific underdog-turned-mega-star, that is Irrfan Khan.
    With his rugged handsomeness, terrific performances, and earthy, personal charm, Irrfan makes for the perfect prototype to be called the ultimate Bollywood âdark horseâ.
    © Maddock Films
    Irrfan has been away from the mainstream acting scene since 2018 when he first announced about suffering from a neuroendocrine tumour. Having battled with cancer for over a year, Irrfan came back to face the camera once again last year for his latest film Angrezi Medium.

    While many are claiming Angrezi Medium to be Irrfanâs much-awaited comeback film post his fight with cancer, true-blue Irrfan Khan fans would beg to differ. 
    For a true Irrfan Khan fan like myself, Angrezi Medium is more than a comeback film and here is exactly why:
    1. Itâs The Most Weâll Get To See Of Him Since The Cancer Detection
    © Maddock Films
    Irrfan was last seen in the 2018 road film Karwaan, following which broke the news about him leaving for London to get treated for a brain tumour. Itâs been almost two years since, and now, with Angrezi Medium, I will get to witness this man spill his magic on-screen once again.
    Ever since the detection of his cancer, Irrfan has stayed away from public appearances, choosing to get treated and recuperate away from the public glare. So, this gives his fans the next best shot at beholding their favourite star up close on the silver screen!

    2. It Is A Living Example That We Are Stronger Than The Things Trying To Hold Us Back
    © Maddock Films
    I can list a number of reasons why Irrfan Khan is one of the most inspirational Bollywood stars out there. But the one thing that trumps it all, currently, is his spirit. His resilience and dedication put Irrfan in a league of his own. 
    Despite not being completely in the clear, Irrfan shot the film for director Homi Adajania, who swore to not make this film with any other actor.
    Irrfan came back, kept his promise and finished the shooting before heading back to London to continue his treatment for the shooting wrap-up.
    3. It Might Be A While Before He Graces The Silver Screen Again
    © Maddock Films
    Letâs get a little realistic. Unless someone has been a survivor themself, or has witnessed a loved one battle with cancer, you and I will never be able to imagine how taxing even the recovery process can be, let alone the treatment itself. And though Irrfan has put on a brave face and finished this latest project, it might be a while before we see him on the silver screen again.
    Even with a few projects  in the pipeline, we cannot be sure when they will see the light of the day.
    4. Itâs A Reminder Why We Love Him The Way We Do
    © Maddock Films
    I donât know about others, but for me, Angrezi Medium is yet another reminder of why I adore this man and his craft so much. 
    Itâs not about the story (Irrfan chose to do it, of course, the story will be worth it) or the supporting cast (Kareena chose to do this film only because of Irrfan, need I say more?). Itâs the promise to witness my favourite actor do what he does like none other.
    This gifted actor eats, breathes and lives his craft. He weaves stories and teaches his audience a thing or two with every film. His 30-year long, roller-coaster Bollywood journey makes him unconquerable and a striking beam of hope that there is hope for each one of us.
    Angrezi Medium is not just Irrfanâs comeback film for me, it is proof that this is what a devoted artist can do when lifeâs challenges are met with dedication and undiluted honesty for oneâs craft.

    It was in late 2019 that an outbreak of coronavirus in Wuhan, the sprawling capital of Central China's Hubei province, that had placed large parts of the country on lockdown and the rest of the world on high alert. But, despite taking measures in an attempt to contain its spread, the deadly virus didn't just spread across China but also reached to other parts of the world.

    As of today, a total of 1,34,918 cases of COVID-19 have emerged across the globe, claiming the lives of 4,989 individuals. It's spread to countries like Italy, Iran, United Kingdom, United States and Australia, amongst others, have led to travel restrictions, quarantine camps and curfews.

    The epidemic has also handed a major blow to the sporting world, with numerous tournaments and events across sports being either played behind closed doors, getting postponed or cancelled. There have been cases of numerous sportspersons contracting COVID-19 which, in turn, has enforced quarantine of their teammates and supporting staff.

    The football world is the latest to get struck by the fast-spreading epidemic with a number of new cases emerging to the sheer shock of fans across the globe. Last month, an unnamed US Pianese player, Italy's third division football club, had tested positive for the deadly virus, marking the first case of a footballer in Europe.

    Since the 22-year-old star's case surfaced, there have been numerous cases of footballers testing positive for Coronavirus. A few days back, Daniele Rugani became the first Serie A player to test positive for Coronavirus. The unfortunate news meant that the Turin side, one of Europe's biggest football clubs, has been sent into a two-week quarantine, including five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Owing to the situation at hand, while Juventus is taking all precautionary measures, the Italian government has banned all sporting events, including Serie A, until at least April 3, in a bid to contain Europeâs worst outbreak. And, after bringing Serie A to its knees, Coronavirus appears to have set sights on English Premier League, one of the world's most competitive and popular club football competitions.

    © Reuters
    On 12th March, Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers announced that three of his first-team players have been in self-isolation after showing symptoms of coronavirus and "have been kept away from the rest of the squad". Rodgers did not specify which players had been quarantined but added that the club had "followed procedures".
    Hours later, Arsenal's Premier League clash against Manchester City was postponed as a "precautionary measure" and several Gunners players went into self-isolation after Olympiakos owner Evangelos Marinakis contracted Coronavirus. The 52-year-old owner of the Greek football club had met a number of Arsenal players when the Gunners hosted Olympiakos in a Europa League match two weeks ago.
    Soon, it was revealed that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had tested positive for Coronavirus and the club's match against Brighton, this Saturday, has been postponed. But, the troubles for Premier League escalated further as another case of the epidemic surfaced in Callum Hudson-Odoi.

    © Reuters
    The 19-year-old Chelsea star was also tested positive for Coronavirus and was subsequently sent home from their Cobham training ground after showing cold-like symptoms initially. He has not been back at the training ground since and the Blues have now announced that the main buildings, as well as several other buildings on the complex, will be closed.

    On the other hand, defending Premier League champions Manchester City, too, have found themselves in a spot of bother after their defender Benjamin Mendy was sent into self-isolation as a precaution. The French footballer had trained with his teammates as normal on Thursday but after a member of his family was admitted to hospital displaying symptoms of Coronavirus, Mendy was sent for tests including one for COVID-19. While the test results are awaited, the City star is under self-isolation as a precautionary measure.

    The second-leg Round of 16 clash between City and Real Madrid on 17th March in the ongoing UEFA Champions League season has also been postponed due to coronavirus threat. The Spanish club has gone into quarantine after one of the players in their basketball team tested positive for the deadly virus, leaving all activity at the clubâs Valdebebas training ground suspended with immediate effect.

    Last night, English football was in crisis as the league announced it will hold an "emergency club meeting" to discuss future fixtures - with clubs expecting they will not play for a month. But, with the recent outbreak in the United Kingdom, it appears that the Premier League is headed for suspension.

    Spain's La Liga, the Dutch Eredivisie, Portugal's Primeira Liga and USA's Major League Soccer have all been suspended as authorities across Europe attempt to limit the spread of the virus. European football's governing body UEFA has also called an emergency meeting for Tuesday to discuss its response to the outbreak. The possibility of postponing Euro 2020 for a year to allow European leagues to complete their domestic seasons will be discussed.
    The discussions will cover all domestic and European competitions, including Euro 2020. The coveted tournament is due to take place from 12 June-12 July at venues across Europe. UEFA has invited representatives of its 55 member associations, plus the boards of the European Club Association, the European leagues and a representative of world players' union Fifpro.

    Imagine this - you had been desperately looking for a change, and have finally been able to set up an interview with that organisation that you had been eyeing for some time now. And, just to sweeten this hypothetical situation a tad bit more, the position youâre interviewing for also happens to be the position that you had been hoping for. Sounds awesome, right?
    © iStock
    Now imagine that you go for that interview, thinking that your have dressed properly and have everything set just perfectly to the T. Still, as soon as you enter the cabin for your interview, your interviewer has a very puzzled, or worse, disapproving look on their face. Sounds familiar? What actually happened here, my friend is that you made some serious error in judgement, and consequently, a very bad first impression. And believe it or not, it is something about your outfit, or style that leads to this.
    © Instagram/ishabhansali
    Now, not everyone is Chris Gardner (the guy from The Pursuit Of Happyness) who can turn an interview thatâs going bad, on its head and still end up acing it. For mere mortals like us, here are some pitfalls that you need to avoid.
    1. Avoid Shiny & Shimmery Fabrics
    © Instagram/anishajain
    Whether youâre suiting up, or are keeping things simple, avoid shiny fabrics at all costs. They make you look like a clown, and that you got your clothes made from metal or plastics factory in some cases. At a wedding or an informal event, metallic fabrics work well. Not so much at the interview desk.
    2. Avoid Quirky Ties
    © iStock
    Unless you want to warn your prospective employer that yours is an unusually eccentric personality and a possible red flag in the companyâs risk management assessments, go for a simple and basic tie. You can think of wearing a tie with a quirky theme if you are going for a job in the field - like wearing a space-themed tie for an interview with an astrophysicist, or a naval themed tie when youâre interviewing with a shipping corporation. That being said, take a calculated risk. Going simple and safe is, well, safe. And no matter what, just avoid those metallic hexagonal ties, they just look bad. 
    3. Go For Classic & Simple Silhouettes That Fit Well
    © Instagram/mrkhanna
    Again, go for something classic and simple. Although we recommend that you wear a suit, going with a basic set of linen trousers and shirts also work fine. If you do go for suits, go for something that has a very simple, but contemporary, European silhouette, like a single-breasted suit, with pleated pants. Unless youâre interviewing to assist PC Sorkar, or some other magician, keep your clothes simple and minimalistic.
    4. Wear Oxfords Or Loafers, Not Sneakers
    © iStock
    The choice of your footwear should be in this order - oxfords, brogues, loafers, or monk straps. Under no circumstances should you wear a pair of sneakers for your interview, unless of course, youâre interviewing for a role and at a place that requires you to be a sneakerhead. Unfortunately, most job profiles or workplaces for that matter do not require you to be one, so stick to something simple and classic. And most importantly, polish your shoes.
    5. Quirky Prints Are A Big No
    © Instagram/ishabhansali
    Remember the first point - avoiding shiny fabrics? Well, this is somewhat of a continuation of that. Avoid loud and zany prints if you want to be taken seriously. Instead, go for something that is a little a conservative. A properly made striped suit is always a great choice, as it screams business while being full of character. Nice and understated checked suits always work out well too. If youâre not entirely sure of things, just avoid prints altogether, and go for solid colours. Do remember though, checks and stripes when done neatly and in the right way, always work well.
    6. Keep Your Accessories Minimal

    Keep your accessories minimal. You donât want to come across as dandy-esque. Although thereâs nothing wrong with that, the Indian corporate scene seems to have a differing thought. That said, donât go completely barren as well. A simple and basic watch always has the ability to make you stand out, and marks you as a more sophisticated man. The same thing goes for your eyeglasses if you use one. Pick a frame that sits well with the shape of your face and yet, has a contemporary vibe to it.
    7. Avoid Quirky Socks

    Finally, and we cannot stress this enough, avoid super quirky socks. Also, ensure that your socks do not stick out of the legs of your pants when you're standing still and they are visible just a little when youâre walking around or are sitting. Checked and striped prints work just well enough, without being too boring. Neon colours, and prints that make them look like they are a childâs kindergarten art project, are a big no.

    It looks like a lot of people have started taking the precautions rolled out by the WHO (World Health Organisation) for Coronavirus seriously. With celebrity sightings each week of stars wearing masks at airports or even of people on the streets, it's almost as if the mask has become an outfit staple especially in dreadful times like these. Anil Kapoor, for instance, is definitely taking the necessary safety measures. For Malang's success party, Anil Kapoor stepped out in a well-protected flashy red mask. Take a look here:

    If you notice carefully, the mask also has the word 'mask' printed on it. This is the signature design of the label Off-White by designer Virgil Abloh. And while this mask may seem unique to you, the interesting detail lies in its price. The mask retails for Rs 9,300 approximately. While the rest of his outfit was rather simple with a grey sweatshirt, black pants, and his black beaters, it was the mask that completely turned his look around.

    The party was a star studded event with Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, Kunal Khemu, Shad Randhawa, Amruta Khanvilkar and director Mohit Suri also present there. Aditya Roy Kapur and Disha Patani too had colour coordinated in red. Take a look here:

    Besides Anil Kapoor, no one was wearing a mask though. However, it did seem like Anil Kapoor's mask did send everyone in an anxious fit, making them regret not stepping out with a mask.

    Working from can be easy and hard at the same time, given that you are confined to a room with no interaction from the outside world. You can often get lazy while trying to work from a bed or get distracted with the loud TV in the background.

    I often work from home due to meetings in the other part of the city and now, because of the Coronavirus scare in Delhi and Haryana. 

    Protecting yourself from the virus is a serious concern but that doesnât mean you have to stop working. Working from home can be done easily if you have the right tools and a little bit of self-discipline. 

    If you have quarantined yourself as a precaution, you must follow the basic steps such as thoroughly washing your hands for 20 seconds every 30 minutes. Make sure you have a sanitiser a home to keep killing residual germs that you may have contracted from items at home.

    Lastly, you need to keep your phone clean as it is probably the dirtiest thing you have in your home. If you are unsure about how to clean your phone, our guide will give you all the best tips. 

    Lastly, make sure the environment/room you work in has enough light as it can get depressing working in a room that is not well lit. You will also end up straining your eyes a lot more if there isnât enough light in the room. 

    Now that you are ready to work from home, you need the right tools and we decided to compile a list of gadgets you will need at home for working effectively:

     1.  A Decent Chair

    This isnât a gadget but more of a necessity if you plan on working from home. Working from a bed will probably make you lazy and using your dining chair will probably cause more damage to your body. Office chairs are specifically designed to keep you rested and computable so that you can do your job effectively. 

    There are plenty of office chairs available to buy online and you should have no problem getting it delivered to your place as fast as possible. 

    2. A Reliable Internet Connection and WiFi Router

    We canât stress this enough, a reliable internet connection is essential for working from home and a nice router to go with it. You can either invest in a decent router with good range so that you can move around the house or a mesh system for the best signal and data speeds. 

    I use the Google WiFi mesh system; however, any AC2100 or AC1900 router will also get the job done. 
    3. Wireless Earphones For Calls

    We recommend investing in either Apple AirPods Pro, Galaxy Buds or any other equivalent wireless earphones. 

    Thereâs a good chance that you might be on call for long periods of time and it can get tiring to hold the phone next to your ear all day. You donât have to get any of our recommendations as you should buy a pair that suits your needs, ear fit and budget. 

    4. A Decent Powerbank

    While working from home, there is a good chance that you may experience a power cut especially if you live in India. Keeping your phones and other gadgets charged when there is no power is essential. 

    We recommend getting fast-charging power banks as they will quickly charge your devices meaning you will spend less time charging your device and dedicate more time to being productive. 

    If you are unsure about which power bank to get, weâve compiled a list just for this purpose. 

    5. A Multiple Port Fast Charger

    Similar to a power bank, you need to fast charge your phone and laptop as well. While you can always use your supplied power brick that comes with your laptop or phone, but it will occupy multiple outlets. 

    We recommend getting the  AMX XP 60 as you can fast charge your laptop, phone and other devices all at the same time. It costs only Rs 1,199 and has three USB-A ports and a PD USB-C port. 

    6. iPad Pro

    Working from an iPad Pro is as effective and efficient as working on a laptop. With the new iPadOS update, you can even access USB flash drives on the tablet in order to get work done. 

    The keyboard accessory is essential as it helps in typing long emails and documents. Since it is lighter than most laptops, it is even more portable and also has better battery life than laptops so that you can work from different locations. 

    Additionally, if you need to sign documents, you can also use the Apple Pencil as it saves more time than printing, signing, and scanning a document. 

    7. A Music Streaming Service

    While this not really a gadget, having a music subscription service comes handier than you think. Even when working from home, you still need to take breaks and listening to music is probably the best way to relax at home.
