    Itâs International Womenâs Day today and while we donât need one day to celebrate our beautiful ladies, it certainly helps to remind them that they are loved. If youâre planning a date night with bae today, here are seven funny female-centric movies you can watch today:

    1. Bridesmaids
    The title in itself is suggestive so bro, if you havenât watched it yet and wonder the power of a bridesmaid before a woman decides to take the plunge with her man, just sit back, relax and watch it with your bae today and prepare to ROFL and even LMAO, like the millennial call it.

    2. Veerey Di Wedding
    Heavily inspired from *** And The City but a cool watch for how a âbroâ code works for them girls. Suggest this one for a movie night today and maybe dance along to Tareefan as you compliment that beautiful woman next to you. 

    3. *** & The City
    The OG female show and movie series which has probably been binge-watched multiple times. Just be a buddy and pop some champagne for your girl as you appreciate women in the world. 

    4. Legally Blonde
    Reese Witherspoonâs gorgeous attempt at shattering perceptions while showing prejudices attached to a what a woman can do. Great watch for tonight and oh well, attempt to make dinner with it. 

    5. I Feel Pretty
    Amy Schumer tells it exactly like it is. Body image and confidence issues mirror the societal pressure bestowed upon every woman out there. If you want your girl to understand that she is sexy and you know it, this serves as a good reminder. 

    6. Queen
    A queen without her king is still a queen and thatâs exactly what Kangana Ranaut is trying to explain in this movie. Absolute favourite for a date night. 

    7. English Vinglish
    This is one movie which makes one sad, laugh and smile in equal measure. Reminds us of the struggles the women in our family have gone through. Only a beautiful brave woman like the protagonist of this movie can take life with a pinch of salt and laugh along.

    The Indian womenâs cricket team was considered to be the favourites to win the ICC Womenâs T20 World Cup in Australia. The assumption was made very rightly so as Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. looked unstoppable throughout the tournament.
    They were the only team to win every match that they played during the league round and made their way to the final as rain washed over South Africaâs dreams in the semi finals.
    However, the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was a whole different story.
    Congratulations Australia on winning the #T20WorldCup!

    Not the result we wanted today but we are proud of the way #TeamIndia played throughout the tournament. #INDvAUS

    Scorecard https://t.co/oNy9gq275c pic.twitter.com/uz6e0IKFUY
    â BCCI Women (@BCCIWomen) March 8, 2020After losing the toss, Kaurâs side was asked to bowl first and the downfall of the team, in the moment when it mattered the most, began. From the jump, the Australians looked determined to establish a massive score for their opponents. 

    Openers Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney, both of whom were given extra lives at the inception of their innings with dropped catches, went on to score 75 and 78 runs respectively. It was the ideal start to the finals that the Aussie would have hoped for.
    Openers power Australia to 184/4 in the #T20WorldCup final

    Beth Mooney - 78* | Alyssa Healy - 75https://t.co/rbnmWmvj49 pic.twitter.com/yoQlSufjRn
    â Cricbuzz (@cricbuzz) March 8, 2020Even though the rest of the batswomen that followed were not able to perform like their predecessors, the damage was already done. Kaurâs women had to chase a mammoth total of 184 runs within 20 overs to win their first World Cup title. 

    Indiaâs opening batswoman Shafali Verma, who was phenomenal throughout the World Cup and achieved the number one spot in ICC World Rankings for Women in T20I, was dismissed in just two runs, Smriti Mandhana couldnât add more than 11 runs to Indiaâs total, Jemimah Rodriguez went away for a duck and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur disappointed with a four-run innings.
    Game over for India?

    â ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) March 8, 2020As dominating as India looked throughout the tournament, they looked like a completely different, young and inexperienced team against Mag Lanningâs squad.

    Losing in the match which matters the most, after being dominating throughout the world cup tournament, has been a recurring theme for all the Indian cricket teams be it Virat Kohliâs side, Priyamg Gargâs U19 squad or Kaurâs womenâs team.
    Back in 2019, Virat Kohli and the Men in Blue remained unbeaten throughout the ICC World Cup 2019 in England and Wales. They fell to Kane Williamsonâs New Zealand without even offering them a close contest.
    Harmanpreet Kaur in this WC, Priyam Garg in U-19 WC and Kohli recently.
    Indian captains aren't having a great time.
    â Kaushal Baid (@crickaushal168) March 8, 2020In January 2020, Priyam Garg and Yashasvi Jaiswalâs roster looked like the team to reckon with in South Africa but none of the âhard-hittingâ batters managed to keep their wicket against the Bangladesh bowling attack. And in March, 2020, the womenâs team failed to even reach the 100-run mark before losing all 10 wickets in an upsetting loss.

    Yes, they played well throughout the tournament, yes they were the youngest of all the 10 teams, and yes, their journey to the final was heroic. The future might be bright for Indian womenâs cricket but they will have to wait for two more years to prove their worth.

    Most of us need a digital detox and we thought that PM Narendra Modiâs sudden weekend announcement to quit social media was more or less a detox for him too. But, later, we figured that seven women achievers will be taking over his social media accounts on Womenâs Day. 
    The women achievers are all set to share their life story and will also be interacting with the people through Narendra Modiâs social media handles. 
    © Reuters
    Earlier today, PM Modi took to his twitter and wrote, "As I'd said a few days ago, I'm signing off."

    Now, that the day is finally here, his social media is actually being handled by many women and the people on the internet are also having a good time. 
    © BCCL
    Out of the several women, the first to take over PMâs account is a Chennai-based social worker Sneha Mohandoss. In many of the tweets that she posted, she got a bizarre request that left people on the internet in splits. 

    Check out the Tweet here-
    Please password bata dijiye
    â Dhruv singh (@vikrantbhadaur6) March 8, 2020The comment captured Snehaâs attention and in no time she replied, saying, âNew India...Try logging in.â

    Hereâs what people think of the witty comment made by the twitter user that has now gone viral-
    Canât stop laughingâ¦
    Please follow back kar dijiye
    Modiji ne itna haq to diya hi hoga
    â BαâÑαм SнαÑмαð®ð³ (@br_sharma_) March 8, 2020Lol.

    This is new India ð®ð³
    â Inder Singh Bhati (@InderSinghBha18) March 8, 2020Hahaha.

    Haha
    â à¤à¤à¤¤à¤¾ à¤à¤à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤¯à¤¾ ð®ð³ (@Ekta0001) March 8, 2020And here we have a meme!!

    â Vimal K Gupta (@vimal_k_gupta) March 8, 2020Ohho.

    I request PM Narendra Ji to give chance to Mens also they also have deep stories. On this International Mens Day give them a chance too,Or else it would be gender inequality.
    â νιÏιи кÏÐ¼Î±Ñ | विपिन à¤à¥à¤®à¤¾à¤° | ਵਿਪਿਨ à¨à©à¨®à¨¾à¨° (@v_k0210) March 8, 2020Indeed.

    Savage reply just like PM's reply

    Apka bhi din ayega !! ï¸
    â nαrÑsh âhαrma ð®ð³ (@NareshVashistha) March 8, 2020The tweet has already garnered around 3.1K comments and around 14K likes and deserves a lot more. 

    PM Modiâs social media initiative #SheInspireUs is a great way to highlight the achievements of various women.

    In the past few years, the trend of growing a long, thick beard grew massively and it has become an ultimate style statement. A full beard, easily adds more to your debonair and is one of the easiest ways to make a statement in today's time.
    Now, if you are something of an experimental, here's a thought. A long, luscious beard can also start looking normcore and if this thought has ever run in your head, maybe it's time you dipped your toes into something more innovative and zany.
    Read on to find out the hottest beard styles of 2020 that are reigning the industry at the moment:
    1. BeardstacheThis beard falls in between a full beard and stubble and this hybrid is one of the styles that you must add to your list. It oozes complete suaveness if it is maintained the right way. It's fun and shows off the experimental side. Another best thing is that it's lightweight and a great summer style beard. 
    © Getty Images
    The style works on most face shapes and gives a prominent shape to your chin. What you need to do is use a trimmer and keep the hair on the cheeks and chin in a stubble, putting more emphasis on the moustache. Use a moustache comb to shape it well.

    2. The Short Beard © Instagram/Isha Bhansali
    Nothing beats the classic and a short beard, being a dialled-down version is another alternative that breaks the monotony. A neatly trimmed one is the way to go that will help you downplay your features. Once you have grown out your beard, eliminate the whiskers and try to keep it synced. For a healthier beard, don't forget to massage it with beard oil.

    3. Short Hair & Full Grown Beard © Instagram/Ram Charan
    A full-grown beard could be a task of maintenance but this one raises the style quotient when coupled with short hair. Guys with oval faces have an innate sense to rock this one while others, with a little bit of trimming, will flatter other face types as well. Make sure you trim when your beard is dry, that way you will know where to smoothen the edges correctly.

    4. Extended Goatee © Getty images
    The style where goatee and moustache are combined is an extended goatee. This can be achieved once you have let your beard grow out. Shave the sideburns and do it as per your face shape. This one is most ideal for men with the oval and square face shape. Many celebrities have also sported this beard trend, and we have to say it is truly head-turning.

    5. The Unkempt Beard © Getty images
    While this beard trend can raise eyebrows, it is certainly one of the best ways to look rugged. If done right, this beard style has the full potential to swoon people. All you need to do give your beard a massage in an outward manner. Just keep in mind, that this one is best suited for people with the round or oval face shape. If you have one, flaunt it!

    We can all safely come to the conclusion that corporate life can sometimes be inconsiderate to our sleep cycle. Especially, when you have never-ending long working hours in office that start to reflect in the form of the dreaded bags under your eyes.
    This does not only make you look tired and sick, but also is bad for your skin. While some people stay unaffected by them if you're someone who really wants to get rid of them, here's what you can do: 
    1. Sleep On Your BackWhile this may sound funny, but sleeping on your back can help with the early morning under-eye bags, using an extra pillow can help prevent the accumulation of facial fluid overnight that makes for your undereye bags in the morning.

    2. Use Under-Eye Products In Case Of Pigmentation © Getty Images
    The dark eye pits under your eyes are because of increased pigmentation. In order to get rid of them, you need to look for products with ingredients like vitamin C, kojic acid, and licorice extract that have skin-lightning properties. 

    3. Use Dipped Green Tea Bags Kristin Bell Instagram
    A quick and rather simple solution is using your dipped green tea bags and place them over your dark circles. The teabags contain natural tannins that are mildly diuretic and can help lighten pigmentation underneath your eyes.

    4. Under-Eye Patches © Getty Images
    With a concentrated approach, under-eye patches can lift off the darkness from underneath your eyes. 

    5. Use An Essential Oil © Getty Images
    Essential oils have soothing and healing properties that help lighten dark circles. Choose one that suits your skin.

    Bappi Lahiri is a renowned celebrity in Bollywood who has belted out some great music hits and has also been awarded for the same. But, apart from his impeccable list of songs and dance-worthy albums, Bappi Da certainly has one thing, that basically sums him up completely - his golden chains! 
    Called the 'Golden Man' of Bollywood, he has never, ever been spotted without his gold chains, bracelets, rings and a watch.
    © Viral Bhayani
    This man is the definition of the word bling who never fails to make a statement wearing his stacked long gold chains. While some might raise eyebrows at this, we know one thing for sure and that is, no one can match his swagger in Bollywood, not even Ranveer Singh.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Recently, the singer celebrated 50 years of being a part of the Bollywood industry. It was sort of obvious that he would show up in his 'gold man' avatar but honestly, that aside, even his outfit was nothing short of experimental this time and we couldn't help but dig it.

    Take a look here:
    © Viral Bhayani
    Bappi Da has outdone himself here as he wore a velvet cardigan with golden embellishments that made quite a dramatic statement. The handwork done on it makes it appear quirkier than it already is. The rest of his outfit, shows us that Bappi Da knows the game of layering his outfits. Sartorially, a relaxed black tee and pants can elevate the suaveness of the layered piece and Bappi Da aced it quite well.

    Coming to stacked, blingy accessories that have made the whole world call him the 'gold man', Bappi Da has a story behind all the chains he adorns every time. 
    In one of his interviews, he said, "In Hollywood, Elvis Presley used to wear gold chains. I was a huge follower of Presley. I used to think, if I become successful someday, then I will build a different image of mine. By the grace of God, I could do it with gold. Earlier people used to think, it is just a way to show off. But it is not so. Gold is lucky for me."
    © Viral Bhayani
    Now, if you are wondering, how much these gold chains are worth, well, you are in for a big surprise now. The man has gold worth Rs. 20 lakh (estimated). Yes, let that sink in!

    Bappi Da surely has immense fan following, not just in India but across the globe. Even though the reason for him sporting his fanciful jewellery is a belief, we are all in for that, plus his unparalleled style and the quirky game as well. Bravo, Da!

    Yes, nearly every Intel chipset released after 2015, that is, in the past five years contains a vulnerability that could allow hackers to gain deep access to your computers. This particular issue was brought to light by the security firm Positive Technologies.
    Essentially what's happening is that whenever you boot your computer that's running on Intel chipset, the security measures within the CPU's Converged Security and Management Engine (CSME) aren't being executed properly. These security measures are in place to lock down the computer's memory and prevent hackers from modifying it.
    © Reuters
    According to the folks over at Positive Technologies, there's a brief moment between booting the computer and when protections within the CSME execute. That window is enough for hackers to execute a malicious code and get deep access to your computer.

    That, however, isn't even the worst part. According to the folks over at Ars Technica, it looks like the flaw cannot be fixed with a firmware update because it's hard-coded into the silicon itself. Yeah, it's just as scary as it sounds.
    So What Can You Do? © Reuters
    As scary as the vulnerability sounds, it's worth pointing out that exploiting it will require physical access to your computer. Also, it's not something that an average scammer can do. Exploiting a system through this vulnerability will require a significant amount of knowledge, and it's not something that can be done via a phishing link.

    Long story short, you, as an average user, are probably safe and don't have to worry about this much. It looks like Intel is aware of this particular issue and it says that the users must keep their system up to date at all times. We'll definitely be reporting more on this as we hear from Intel.

    If you've ever wondered how actors like Kartik Aaryan have the most perfect skin, it's because unlike everyone else, they have a disciplined skincare routine that they make sure to follow on a regular basis. Now, this skincare routine varies from person to person depending on their individual skin problems and needs. However, there are certain basics that can help you get started with a skincare routine perfect for your skin to give you that flawless skin you've been seeking out.
    1. Start A Night-time Skincare Routine © Getty Images
    Waking up in the morning with dry skin suggests that lathering up your face with moisturiser is not going to help in the long run. Change your bedtime skincare routine, not the morning one. If you don't have one, now is the time to start. Itâs easier to head off dryness at night, add an essence, hydrating face cream, and some retinol and you'll notice the difference in the morning.

    2. Never Forget SPFNinety percent of the rugged lines and dryness on the face are caused by sun damage, which makes sunscreen the ultimate arsenal for healthy-looking skin. Use an SPF 30 or higher daily before you step out every day.
    3. Vitamin C Is Your Weapon © Getty Images
    Brighteners (like vitamin C) can, within six months of use, minimise dark spots on the face. You could get an effective Vitamin C from the market that'll help with acne scars and dark spots.

    4. Kill Blackheads With Salicylic Acid Jim Sarbh Instagram
    Salicylic acid is the perfect fix for weeding out the annoying blackheads and whiteheads from your face. Look for facewashes with Salicylic acid to get rid of blackheads.

    5. Use A Foaming Face Wash © Getty Images
    If you're dealing with acne along your hairline on your forehead, it could be from the oil extracts in your hair products. A foaming face wash cuts through the oil without being harsh and gets rid of the acne easily.

    Aside from breakouts, acne scars, and dark spots, another major skin issue that troubles a lot of people is blackheads. Blackheads are deep-seated impurities in our pores that need to be weeded out or they can very easily become visible on the face from a distance. However, manually extracting blackheads can be really painful and sometimes detrimental to the skin. 
    Here's what you can do instead:
    © Getty Images
    1. Exfoliation Is KeyA simple method to get rid of blackheads is to exfoliate your skin. Get a good scrub that is great at weeding out all the grime and impurities from your pores.
    2. Use Clay Masks  © Getty Images
    Understand your skin type and use a mask that suits it as it's a highly effective method in extracting deep-seated blackheads. The clay mask is great at tackling blackheads and also helps you get a healthy glowing skin.

    3. Get A New Facewash © Getty Images
    Recurrent blackheads mean that your facewash did not suit you well. Get a new facewash that has properties that help to reduce the dirt and grime from your face. 

    4. Get Professional HelpInstead of assuming the role of Dr. Pimple Popper, go to a professional who knows what they're doing when it comes to extracting blackheads from your face without damaging it.
    5. Get A Hydrating Moisturiser © Getty Images
    A good moisturiser works wonders in stopping dryness and dead skin cells from clogging. You need to add a good moisturiser to your skincare routine, especially post these steps to make sure that your skin stays hydrated.

    If there's one thing that South Indian films have given, it is this impeccable star Vijay Devarakonda, who has not only impressed us with his acting chops but his brazen sense of style too. 
    Right from wearing an expensive pair of chappals to making a statement in bizarre pants, it's obvious that his wardrobe is equal parts experimental and outlandish.
    © Viral Bhayani
    His pants are another unconventional style addition from his directory. The fabric sure is unusual and the fact that they are cropped at the hem dovetails in a dapper manner. Add to that, his accessories, the grey beanie and the silver ring finish off this look, quite well.

    The Kerala police chief said, "Maximum number of police stations will be managed by women SHOs. In police stations without women SHOs, senior civil police officers will carry out the duty. They will interact with the public and will investigate the complaints received.â

    In addition to smartphones, Realme launched its first fitness tracker in the country alongside the new Realme 6 series phones. With the introduction of the Realme Band, the company is now going head-to-head with Xiaomi's fitness trackers.
    Well, Xiaomi has already established a strong foothold in the country with its Mi Band and therefore it'll be interesting to see how Realme competes with that. 
    Here's a quick comparison to see which one is better and worth your money:
    1. Design & Display © Karthik Iyer/ MensXP
    Both the Realme Band and the Mi Band 4 have a generic-looking design and there's nothing new to expect here. You're looking at the same display and a touch bar at the bottom to control the interface. However, what's different here is the way you remove the bands and charge the tracker itself.

    The Realme Band's band snaps very easily from both sides to plug it directly into a USB port for charging. In Mi Band 4's case, however, you'll need a proprietary charger to keep it powered.
    In terms of the display, the Realme Band 4 features a 0.96-inch OLED panel with a 3D tempered glass, whereas, the Mi Band 4 comes with a 0.95-inch AMOLED panel with a 2.5D tempered glass. 
    The Mi Band 4 has a slightly high-resolution display, but honestly, you're not going to see much of a difference in the small size. It's, however, worth pointing out that the Mi Band 4 features a full touch screen panel whereas the Realme Band doesn't.
    © Karthik Iyer/ MensXP
    2. Battery LifeThe Realme Band features a 90mAh battery whereas the Mi Band 4 features a light bigger i.e., a 135mAh battery. So it goes without saying that the Mi Band 4 is going to last longer than the Realme Band. But as we mentioned earlier, it's much easier to charge the Realme Band than the Mi Band 4.
    With Realme Band's easy Direct USB charge feature, you won't have to worry about carrying a charger all the time or think about keeping it safe.
    3. Other FeaturesAs for the rest of the features, both the fitness bands can track your activities and give you a heart rate reading. You can also track the quality of your sleep and get alerts for things like drinking water, sedentary reminders, etc.
    Both the fitness bands can also track and record various activities, so I'd say they're equally good. Both bands will also show you notifications like calls, SMS, and more. Lastly, it's worth pointing out that the Mi Band 4 is water-resistant up to 50 meters whereas the Realme Band comes with an IP68 rating and is water-resistant up to 1.5m.
    4. Pricing & AvailabilityIn terms of the pricing, the Realme Band is cheaper than the Mi Band 4. The Realme Band will cost you Rs. 1,499 whereas the Mi Band 4 will cost you Rs. 2,299. The Realme Band comes with three strap color options such as yellow, black, and green. The Mi Band 4 is, however, available in four strap color options i.e., black, orange, purple, and burgundy.

    Pavithra Vijay has been in the nutrition and fitness industry for over five years now. Alongside her husband Vijay who is the co-founder of Fast&Up, a brand that caters to the nutritional needs of athletes, Pavithra was open to new ventures and was a complete stranger to âactive sportsâ as she would put it. 
    However, it was her conversation with Indian Olympian swimmer Nisha Millet that made her completely dive into the sporting scenario of India and ever since, she has grown as a professional and is currently managing over 150 athletes across all sports including cricket, badminton, running, tennis, the list goes on.
    © Nisha Millet
    âWhat attracted me most in any line of work was interacting with people. The idea of athletes using, believing in our products and agreeing to vouch for us made us start the program,â she says. âThe process included framing the contracts, working closely with athletes to get their deliverables met, constantly look out for good and successful athletes at multiple sports made this team grow. I had the able support of my small but very hard working team, the marketing team who constantly shared their innovative ideas to use our athletes to promote and build the brand and last but not the least the athletes themselves.â

    Managing athletes, especially Indian cricketers, is a task cut out for a very specific set of people. They require a lot of patience and the ability to act on the go. 
    Hello again Mohali! See you later tonight! pic.twitter.com/w0FlfSKgOe
    â Mayank Agarwal (@mayankcricket) April 16, 2019âNutrition has always been a subject which has not been given enough priority. So initially it was a challenge to reach out and connect with the athletes. There are so many myths around and so little guidance,â Pavithra says. âI have had to spend a lot of time educating the athletes about the importance of nutrition and how it can play an important role in their performances.â
    âThe personal interaction with the athletes makes it easy to get the deliverables met. We do meet and greet sessions, invite them for product launches, guest speakers at partnered events, Insta live sessions. Since we are in constant touch with them, we work around their schedules so that they focus on their careers and family.â
    Amongst the plethora of clients Pavithra manages are two bright faces of the ongoing era of Indian dominance in international cricket, Test expert Mayank Agarwal and the 16-year-old hurricane of a batswoman, Shafali Verma.

    âBoth are wonderful human beings and fairly easy to interact with. Obviously getting their time out for a video shoot or an interview gets challenging sometimes but we have been fortunate to get the deliverables as planned,â she says while talking about the two clients.

    âI like to wish my athletes all the best before their big day. Mayank loves running and thatâs the topic I discuss most with him. Looking forward to seeing him run a 10K race soon. Shafali is the quieter ones. She mostly replies to the point. My relationship with Shafali is a growing one. We have met once post signing but always on chats. I remember having a long chat over lunch about her life, her passion for the game, her huge respect for her father who constantly believed in her and let her do what she knew best, play cricket! I am looking forward to meeting her post the T20 World Cup. I interact with her dad more than her as she is busy. He is a very nice man and we discuss her achievements,â she adds.
    Congrats Shafali Verma on attaining the no. 1 rank in T20 batsman list.#shafaliverma #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/Z06nI1K0vx
    â Awarapan ð®ð³ (@KingSlayer_05) March 4, 2020Sports management and looking after big athletes has been more of a male dominated domain on a global scale. From legendary football players such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to basketball legends like LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard, all of them are managed by men. Even though gender has nothing to do with the success or failure of a manager, it is men who are more commonly found to be in a spot where Pavithra is. 

    âI never felt any field is dominated by a specific gender. It's what you do, how you do differently that makes you unique from others and shine. Even in my stint in the corporate field working for MNCs and Indian companies, where I lead a team of men, mostly older than me, gender or age didn't make any difference. It was a job that needed to be executed with dedication and hard work, period. My ex-bosses always told me I am a chartered accountant with a difference,â she says.
    âEvery individual is different and it is very important to handle every individual differently, respect their time, space and their thoughts. I know each one personally and thanks to social media, it is easy to keep in touch with them," she adds.
    © Pavithra Vijay
    âWhen our athletes are introduced to the world, we always welcome them to the Fast&Up family. I have a wonderful team which comprises of ex-cricketers, avid runners who understand the sport and the importance of nutrition in sports which makes our job easy. To be a well rounded human and pass on learnings to the future generation , it is important to constantly learn and adapt, have an open mind and be inclusive,â Pavithra signs off.

    The picture was taken outside Wuhan University hospital, where a 20-something doctor from Shanghai and an 87-year-old coronavirus aka COVID-19 patient were seen enjoying the sunset together. This heartwarming picture was shared by a Twitter user Chenchen Zhang.

    According to her post, the patient has been hospitalised for a month and was being taken for a CT scan when he requested the doctor to stop and watch the sunset. She wrote, "Wuhan Uni hospital. A twenty-something doctor from Shanghai was taking a 87yo patient who'd been hospitalised for a month to take a CT scan. He asked if he wanted to stop to watch the sunset. He said yes. They enjoyed the moment together."

    Riteish Deshmukh is making headlines almost every other day and it has nothing to do with his latest release Baaghi 3, most of it at least. On one day when he's busy flaunting his 'DJ Snake' avatar, the other day is about him trolling the trolls who tried to make fun of his new look by calling his 'Sasta DJ Snake'.

    On the rest of the days when the actor is not flaunting his new look, he is busy sharing BTS pictures and videos from his movie sets. Basically, Riteish Deskhmukh and his Instagram is like a gift that keeps on giving.

    But do you know what else he gives? Daily, and sometimes weekly, dose of humour. Yesterday happened to be one of those days when he decided to channel his inner Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan and recreate their signature styles.
    After Riteish and Ajay's friendly banter on social media last year, almost everyone knows by now how obsessed Riteish is with Ajay Devgn's movie Phool Aur Kaante. This certain scene in particular.

    If you are an avid follower of cricket, you must have seen Raman Bhanot's face or heard his name ahead of or in between important matches, analysing and assessing the way the two teams are playing the game of bat and ball. 
    However, the broadcast expert, whose career has spanned over 20 phenomenal years, isn't only restricted to cricket. Over the years, Bhanot has lent his voice in decoding multiple sports from football to hockey and even motorsport.

    Now the veteran has taken a massive step towards going international, as he is the voice of the Hindi commentary broadcast on the Olympic Channel, for the boxing road to Tokyo 2020, Asian Oceania Qualifiers being broadcast live from 3rd to 11th March 2020.
    We got in touch with Bhanot to know more about his expectations from the 2020 edition of the quadrennial tournament and what this moment of his life means to him.
    “It's a matter of great pride for me to be the first Indian who is the voice of the hindi broadcast that is going out on the 'Olympic Channel',” he says. “Having spent over 20 years covering multiple sports for leading channels in the country, it is now a step up into the international broadcast arena with this assignment with OBS in Madrid," he added.

    “People recognize me from a cricket match analysis show I used to host for over a decade, but I have covered a variety of sports – from Football to Hockey, Tennis, Basketball, Motorsport and of course events like CWG, Asian Games & the Olympics," Bhanot said.
    Bhanot covered his very first Summer Olympics exactly two decades ago when he was assigned the 2000 Games in Sydney and ever since he has been a part of each and every one of them.
    “When you cover a multi sport event like the Olympics, it is much more than just watching some of the best sportspersons in the world winning medals. It is about acknowledging the stories of human triumph against all odds, and achievements that highlight the perseverance of the human spirit,” Bhanot says.

    When asked about his greatest memory from covering the numerous athletic wonders over the five Olympics, this is what he said: “For me, from an international perspective, the most memorable moment has been Anthony Ervin's Gold in Sydney 2000, when he was just 19 years old and then his comeback Gold medal winning 50m swim, after a gap of 16 years, at the RIO Olympics.”

    “From an Indian perspective, I would rate Leander Paes winning the Bronze at Atlanta in 1996 as a watershed moment for India in the Olympics, because we won an Olympic Medal in an individual event after 44 years. And since that edition, we have won an Olympic medal in an individual event at each of the following Olympics till date,” he remembers.

    Ever since PV Sindhu and Sakshi Malik created history with their respective medals at the Rio Olympics back in 2016 despite the Indian contingent's overall disappointing outing, the hope for a better performance has been building up. Athletes in other sports have been delivering at a high level and could be seen with a podium finish by the end of the grand event.
    “I have a lot of hopes from the Indian shooters. We have a record number of Indian shooters who have qualified for the 2020 Olympics,” he says. “There are some quality shooters in the age group of 17-19 years like Saurabh Choudhary, Manu Bhaker, Aishwarya Tomar, Divyansh Panwar who have done exceedingly well at international events. They bring a sense of fearlessness in their approach and that could be their biggest asset. Boxing could be another event where India can do well at the upcoming Games.”
    Having said all of that, one of the biggest issues that currently looms over the Tokyo Games and every single participant is the danger of coronavirus. The highly contagious and increasingly deadly virus has already disrupted multiple sporting events from around the world and chances are that the Olympics might face the problem as well.
    It's going to be so disappointing if the Olympics get canceled because of the Corona Virus... #Olympics2020 #CoronavirusOutbreak pic.twitter.com/FXBzXRA9Oy

    “As far as travelling for this assignment was concerned, the OBS paperwork was sealed well before the CoviD scare assumed the proportion is now! But this is work so it's got to be done,” he exclaimed. “You just have to be sensible and practice necessary precautions,” he added.
    “As far as the impact on the organizing of Tokyo 2020 Olympics is concerned, I am sure a clearer picture will emerge in a couple of months from now,” Bhanot signs off.
