    It was a dark Monday in Delhi yesterday. The national capital wasnât on its best behaviour and that cost us the lives of people who didnât deserve to die. 

    As fresh clashes broke out in parts of East Delhi between pro- and anti-CAA protestors early on Monday morning, police officers at the nearest Gokulpuri police station stepped up to calm the protestors and bring peace and order back into the streets of East Delhi.

    © Twitter
    Little did Delhi Police Head Constable Ratan Lal know that this would be his last time donning the uniform he cherished. As Ratan Lal stepped onto the streets and faced the enraged mob of protesters, pelting stones and showering bullets, he didnât know it would take his life for people to see the gravity of the situation.

    Head Constable Ratan Lal was trying to bring the protestors under control when things went out of hand, and he was severely injured in the head while trying to perform his duty, and protect his boss from getting hurt while at it.

    © Twitter
    Here is what we know about the brave cop who laid down his life for the sake of peace, and duty towards people.

    1. Head Constable Ratan Lal was 42-years-old and hailed from Tihawali Village in Fatehpur, Sikar in Rajasthan. Born into a middle-class family, he was the eldest amongst the four brothers and sister.

    2. A true patriot, Ratan Lal always wanted to join the forces, don the uniform and serve his country. It was back in 1998 when he joined the Delhi police as a constable.

    © Twitter
    3. He was posted at the Gokulpuri Police Station and attached to the office of the ACP.

    4. He married his wife Poonam in 2004 in Jaipur and the couple had three young children together.

    5. Ratan Lalâs eldest daughter Siddhi is merely 13, while her younger siblings Kanak and Ram are just 10 and 8-years-old respectively.

    6. Ratan Lal lived with his family in Amrit Vihar Colony in Burari, while the kids attended Delhi Police Public school in the area.

    © Twitter
    7. Friends and acquaintances say Ratan Lal was a calm, peace-loving man who hated conflicts and arguments.

    8. Reportedly, Ratan Lal was killed near Dayalpur police station during the stone-pelting incident when it peaked during noon yesterday. However, word has it that he may have been shot in the head which resulted in his death.

    9. While speaking to NDTV, Ratan Lalâs younger brother Dinesh said, "He was the reader of the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) of Gokulpuri. He had just accompanied the ACP, but the mob surrounded him and killed him."

    10. According to TOI, Ratan Lal was known as a brave cop in his department and had led many raids conducted by Gokulpuri police over the last few years.

    © Twitter
    11. One of Ratan Lalâs colleagues told TOI that Lal would always sign up for difficult and dangerous assignments. He added, âHe was instrumental in nabbing the accused in a gruesome rape of two tribal women in 2013 and in an act of vandalism committed by a group of wrestlers at a restaurant in Seemapuri.â

    12. Back in his village in Sikar, people are demanding a âmartyrâ status for Ratan Lal and that he be put to rest with full state honours. They have also asked for the government school in their village to be named after Lal.

    The braveheart and devoted officer has left behind a devastated family behind for no fault of his, and perhaps this should be our wake up alarm to see what we may have gotten wrong while trying to safeguard our rights while taking away anotherâs right to safe and long life by taking the law into our hands. Violent protests will never bring us the right answers.

    Last week, we gave you a critical peek into the world of Hunters - Prime Videoâs latest series featuring a war of subterfuge and secret assassinations between Holocaust survivors and Nazis-in-hiding⦠all against the backdrop of Americaâs socio-political theatre of the 1970s.


    While the show has a wide array of characters, with Logan Lerman playing lead Jonah Heidelbaum, its biggest A-lister is, no doubt, acting legend and industry veteran Al Pacino, playing Meyer Offerman.  
    The slow-burn performance takes the Italian-American actor into the challenging role of playing a wealthy ex-European Holocaust survivor out for revenge, no matter the cost. Itâs a script full of Yiddish sayings and plenty of theatrics and mystery - one that the actor was glad to flesh out in an exclusive interview.
    © Prime Video
    Letâs talk about this amazing character that you play.  Obviously, as the season goes on, there are many layers to him that we want the audience to discover as theyâre watching the show.  How would you set up who he is at the beginning?

    Well, he is a sort of mysterious character.  And that can, you know, mean a lot of things. Thereâs this feeling that heâs a private person, whoâs very wealthy and lives in a sort of mansion.  And he is responsible for a lot of mayhem. At the same time, heâs an educated, well-versed person. At the first encounter, he seems a little eccentric and [itâs] hard to figure where heâs coming from.

    His has a relationship with this young man [played by Logan Lerman,] whom he seeks out and in a way, partially wants to mentor, and at the same time protect.  Because this young man is, possibly, under some sort of surveillance and could be assassinated.  

    Talk about how Meyer finds himself leading the hunt.  
    That is something Iâve been thinking about even when I was thinking about this character, wondering how his leadership qualities partially are there because of his knowledge, his innate passion for something.  I donât think heâs ever ledâwell, he has led in business and in industry. He has survived the [concentration] camps and became - without anything -- became a leader of industry high up in the rankings - very wealthy, very committed.  

    But at the same time, heâs an underground man.  Heâs someone who lurks under the ground. So, itâs very interesting to understand a little bit about how both those things can cohese [sic] and coexist, and how close they are to each other.  

    Was there any research you did or anything you looked into before taking on this role?

    It was fun to be around all these people.  I mean, they were easy to be with. And it was one of the longest shoots Iâve ever been on.  This is a 10-parter. And itâs actually like doing a ten-hour film - and the first time for me doing this kind of thing, doing a series. This was different.  It felt more like a film than the other things Iâve done on television. It felt more ongoing - very interesting. I enjoyed it.  

    Talk a little bit about that ensemble cast and working with them.  I know a lot of you were from the theatre.

    We - well, Iâve worked with Carol Kane, who is phenomenal in this thing.  I mean, some of the stuff they do together, her and, and the actor who plays her husband, it just is very special.  You donât see it often. And Iâve worked with her, you know? I worked with her on stage, I worked with her in films. Carol Kane, sheâs great, just truly great. And the others too. All of them were so special. I just love working with âem.  And you know, youâre with them all the time - not with the new director.  

    © Prime Video
    I just felt I was with a troupe. So, I donât think I remember an incident that happened on, on the whole shoot that I would say was intense. It was always, you know - we were doing a thing.  That happens when youâre around people with experience, who have gone through things. They sort of understand. Maybe Iâm trying to recollect it now, âcause I was, âdid I dream this thing?â Because it was pretty good.

    Talk about Meyer and Jonahâs relationship.

    First of all, Iâm so crazy about Logan, and I think he is so great in this film.  He has this appeal, you know. He just takes it and he just - he drives this film. He drives this whole series. It was great working with him - I enjoyed it so much. Every time we, weâd get together and we - the camaraderie on the set was what it usually is with actors.  We always get together and, you know. Itâs so uncomfortable if somebody is acting out a little and causing trouble. It really is terrible.  

    © Prime Video
    Yeah, instant -  I had chemistry with [Logan].  This kid, instantly. Itâs just one of those things, you know?  Usually, if you donât, by the time youâve worked together awhile you get there.  But with him it was right. Instant. It was great.

    From the storyâs perspective, what is the conflict the film is going through, and Meyer as well, in terms of bringing him into the hunt?

    Well, he is, heâs young, so heâs being taken up into something that is hard to relate to, a lot because his grandmother kept him, sort of kept him out of it.  And it, itâs only because of happenstance, only because of her getting killed, that he is forced into it. So, heâs there reluctantly. And his conflict is trying to go back to something thatâs more tangible to him in his imagination.  It doesnât seem to work. Itâs not part of growing up and learning things.  

    Heâs struggling with that thing, that - um, sort of classic in the sense that itâs sort of like The Godfather and Michael Corleone as a youngster.  Heâs, you know, reluctant to go into the family, sort of, and wants his own way, wants to go his own way.  And is in a way, by circumstances and, and life itself, is sucked into it. âCause if it was up to Michael, he would have never gone in that direction.  As well as Jonah.  
    Jonah has to get there too.  He has to earn it. And so he goes through those transitions, and I think thatâs a very interesting dramatic structure to, to, to find your way, to struggle through something toâand, and heâs very much a hero.  You know, they say in, in, in theâitâs never the end, itâs always the journey, you know? My character even says to him this is about what a hero really is, what heroes are.  

    I know Iâve played some, Iâve played heroes.  Iâve played in Kevo - Iâve played zealots too, like Kevorkian.  It is different. They are different. A lot of people claim thatâs, that title of a zealot, but theyâre not the real ones.  And thereâs a line in this where Meyer tells Jonah, you know, itâs not about doing the right thing. Itâs about doing whatâs necessary.  I think - I, I donât know if thatâs the correct line, but itâs something like that - ânot doing what is right, but what is necessaryâ. And thatâs - thereâs a difference. 

    It seems like Meyer sees something in Jonah that he doesnât see in himself.  What do you think Meyer sees in him?

    Well, he sees the energy, and the intelligence, of course, he sees. Jonah is extremely facile and, and very bright.  And he sees potential. Like, sometimes you see it. I see it sometimes in my own kids or others or young actors that I work with.  You, you see that thing. It's almost obvious, and Meyer is looking for it too. Heâs looking for it in this kid. So, heâs stopping to notice. 

    You can catch Hunters on Amazon Prime, streaming here.

    Over the years, we've seen some of the worst crimes committed against food, from people dipping their pizzas in chai,to putting gulab jamun on pizzas. Since Italians have been offended enough, this time, someone is coming for one of the most beloved Indian snacks ever. Yes, it's time for another bizarre food combination no one asked for.
    With the President of the United States visiting India, everyone obviously wants to showcase everything good about the country. 
    © Reuters
    When Donald Trump and First Lady Melania visited Sabarmati Ashram, someone decided to get a little creative - too creative - with the menu for the tea. 

    The menu went somewhat viral just because of how unappetizing, and even downright offensive it was.
    Nominee for worst menu in history. Tasteless. pic.twitter.com/yjquBB9zyN
    â Aakar Patel (@Aakar__Patel) February 24, 2020
    Tasteless, literally.

    There's one item way worse than the others, though. Who in their right mind would mess with the poor little samosa like that? Samosa has aloo, that is it. Chowmein samosa can also stay, but it's on thin ice. But, broccoli? Nope, not acceptable.

    No one is eating a samosa because they're trying to be 'healthy', why is someone trying to sneak in extra veggies in a freaking samosa?
    People are offended on behalf of samosas everywhere, and rightly so. No deal is coming out of this.
    I doubt this unappetizing menu will prompt anyone into giving any kind of deal to India. #broccolisamosa ð¤¦ââï¸ pic.twitter.com/XhW6oX0Or8
    â Shruti Rajagopalan (@srajagopalan) February 24, 2020
    Exactly.

    I am sorry to entire humanity for the broccoli samosa on Trump's menu.

    A broccoli samosa cannot be samosa. It's just fried salad.

    You can ruin anything just by putting broccoli in it.#TrumpInIndia pic.twitter.com/5iojv6vBTi

    If you change a samosa's fillings, you are playing with feelings! #BroccoliSamosa is NOT samosa. #AlooLoverForever

    And, no one is surprised.

    Nobody had the broccoli samosa.

    Fair point, tho.

    I really don't know why everyone is so down on the broccoli samosas! What other way to get this guy to eat his vegetables than to deep fry it in batter!!
    â Amy Kazmin (@AmyKazmin) February 24, 2020
    It sounds awful.

    The #BroccoliSamosa is a miserable snack. Not a single person finished a full one! Wish there was something genuinely Indian for high tea rather than this bastardised version of our yummy #samosa.

    Seems valid.

    can we slap sedition charges on whoever came up with broccoli in samosa.

    Good take.

    Trump is the broccoli samosa of people
    â Padma Lakshmi (@PadmaLakshmi) February 24, 2020
    The only time we'll sympathise with him.

    So @realDonaldTrump will be fed broccoli samosas. I sympathise and lay the matter to rest.

    Yesterday, Realme launched India's first 5G phone. You can learn more about the phone here, but there's a new brand in town called IQOO and they're the next one to launch a 5G phone in the country. 
    © MensXP/Karthik Iyer
    So IQOO's new phone is called IQOO 3 and here's everything that you need to know about it.
    The IQOO 3 5G sports a 6.44-inch display, but surprisingly it's not a high refresh rate panel. We're looking at a 60Hz panel with a 180Hz touch sampling rate. But apart from that, we're looking at a phone with really powerful internals.
    © MensXP/Karthik Iyer
    The phone is powered by Snapdragon 865 SoC, which is currently the best chipset that Qualcomm makes. It's coupled with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. The IQOO is also a gaming phone and it even has pressure sensitive buttons on the top to act like air triggers.

    As for the optics, we're looking at a quad camera setup which includes a 48MP sensor, two 13MP sensors and a 2MP camera. On the front, there's a 16MP selfie shooter. The phone has a bunch of camera features like night mode, pro mode and more. It packs a 4,400mAh battery with support for fast charging which is more than welcome.
    © MensXP/Karthik Iyer
    Pricing & AvailabilityIQOO has launched the phone for a starting price of Rs 36,990 for the 8GB, 128GB variant, Rs 39,990 for the 8GB, 256GB variant and Rs 44,990 for the top-end 12GB, 256GB 5G variant. It'll be available starting March 4 on Flipkart.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi received the US President Donald Trump at Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhai Patel International Airport on Monday. This is Trumpâs maiden visit to India and is solely focused on strengthening the ties between the two countries.

    © Twitter/Narendra Modi
    President Trump arrived with his wife Melania Trump and a team of 12-member delegation along with his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner in India.  

    The Trumps first visited the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad and then headed towards the âNamaste Trumpâ rally held at Motera stadium, the biggest cricket stadium in the world. 
    However, several moments since their arrival have given way to a meme fest on social media. Trumpâs speech invoking Sachin Tendulkar and DDLJ, and his visit to the Taj Mahal have since inspired hilarious jokes and memes from people from across the country on Twitter. 
    Also, since Trumpâs arrival, hashtags such as #TrumpIndiaVisit #NamasteTrump #TrumpIndia have been trending on social media.

    Microsoft has taken a lead when it comes to showing off the next generation of consoles. Last December, the company showed off what the console looks like and last night, detailed a lot of its hardwareâs capabilities. Microsoft confirmed some of the most important details that we needed to hear and one of them was that the Series X is capable of pushing 12 teraflops for GPU performance.
    © Microsoft
    This confirmation means that the Series X will be twice as powerful as the Xbox One X that launched during the middle of this generationâs cycle. In comparison, the Xbox Series X is capable of having the same performance as mid-range GPUs from Nvidia.

    âXbox Series X delivers a true generational leap in processing and graphics power with cutting edge techniques resulting in higher frame rates, larger, more sophisticated game worlds, and immersive experiences, unlike anything seen in console gaming,â said Xbox chief Phil Spencer via a blogpost.
    âRather than spending GPU cycles uniformly on every single pixel on the screen, developers can prioritise individual effects on specific game characters or important environmental objects,â explains Spencer. âThis technique results in more stable frame rates and higher resolution, with no impact on the final image quality,â said Spencer.
    Xbox Series X can also support 8K resolution and up to 120 frames per second in games. The console will come with HDMI 2.1 which means it has support for Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). This will drastically reduce the latency and input lag when using a compatible monitor or TV.
    Xbox Series X will also be using a custom CPU based on AMDâs Zen 2 and Radeon RDNA 2 architecture. It will have an NVMe SSD that will drastically reduce load times and improve the overall performance of the game. Apart from the hardware reveal, the Series X will also let users play multiple games at the same time without suspending the application. It is called âquick resumeâ and will let users resume multiple games right where they left it.
    © Twitter
    Now that we know various details about the Series X, Sony still remains silent about the PlayStation 5 and has not revealed much about the console. A recent (now deleted) rumour on 4Chan claimed that Sony has still not decided the final design of the console and is going behind schedule. Sony wants to sell the console this holiday season, however they are yet to show the final design of the PS5 and we are fast approaching the month of March. The novel coronavirus outbreak has also affected Sonyâs production output in China which may also play a role in the price and the availability of the console.

    Sony does not have much time left to unveil the console and with Microsoft breathing on Sonyâs neck, the Japanese company has no choice but to unveil the console soon enough to garner enough interest.

    If you have been an Apple Watch user, you may have gotten bored with the design of the smartwatch as it has remained unchanged for years. There was an old rumour that showed off renders of the upcoming Apple Watch 6 and someone made a video featuring the Apple Watch in a different avatar.

    © YouTube/Phone Industry
    The video was made by a YouTube account called Phone Industry and in the video, we can see the Apple Watch re-imagined as a round-faced smartwatch instead of the traditional square shape we all know. The video looks incredible as it showcases all the details that could feature on the Apple Watch sometime in the future.

    If you look closer, the design of the smartwatch has a fabric-like material around the bezels and a new digital crown that doesnât really look like a crown anymore. The new digital crown design is based on recent leaks that Apple might ditch the iconic dial for a new design. Having said that, the rounded design comes with its own problems.
    © YouTube/Phone Industry
    Due to the small footprint of the rounded case, Apple will not be able to fit in a larger battery due to which this design doesnât look feasible. Apple has been wanting to improve the battery life on the App Watch for sleep tracking features and due to this reason, we may not see a circular design anytime soon. The video claims that the Apple Watch could have 48 hours of battery life with the circular design, however we recommend you take this information with a pinch of salt. At the moment, it doesnât feel like Apple can achieve that kind of battery life especially since batteries have not advanced when it comes to efficiency.


    The Apple Watch Series 5 can run for 18 hours on a single charge and the Cupertino giant plans to use microLED displays in future devices. It could fundamentally result in a more efficient design, however we can only know that once Apple actually puts the new display to test on a smartwatch this year.

    One of the most prestigious franchises of the National Basketball Association, the Los Angeles Lakers organised The âCelebration of Lifeâ ceremony at the Staples Center stadium to pay homage to basketball legend Kobe Bryant, his baby girl, Gianna and seven other people who lost their lives in a horrible helicopter crash last month. 
    It was one of those rare moments when people from all over the world, competitors from within the league, celebrities and common folk, came together and mourned the loss of one of the greatest men not just in the world of basketball, but outside of it as well.
    View this post on InstagramThe basketball world gathered to honor the Mamba and Mambacita.A post shared by (@bleacherreport)
    While Beyonce sang Bryantâs favourite songs, Alicia Keys performed Beethovanâs âMoonlight Sonata,â one of the most difficult piano routines ever, that Kobe learnt within a week to dedicate to his highschool sweetheart, wife and now widow, Vanessa Bryant. 
    Vanessaâs message for her daughter and husband consisted of some of the fondest memories they had shared together as family and how they will continue to be a team as she has three other daughters to now take care of, while Kobe will look after Gianna in heaven.

    Nobody can foresee something like what took the lives of Kobe and Gianna, nobody can âprepareâ for it. From talk show host, Jimmy Kimmelâs initial speech to Shaquille OâNealâs short, simple and hilarious adieu to the âBlack Mambaâ, you could see that nothing was scripted and whatever these guys were speaking was straight from the heart and with a lot of emotion.
    However, when Michael Jordan was asked to make a speech, the whole stadium went silent. After years and years of sacrificing his body on the basketball court, an older, heavier Michael Jordan climbed the stage with a limp. With his eyes, already filled with tears, Jordan addressed the gathering.

    âNow heâs got me â Iâm going to have to look at another crying meme for the next â¦,â he said as the audience erupted in laughter. âI told my wife I wasnât going to do this,â Jordan continued, âbecause I didnât want to see that for the next three or four years. That is what Kobe Bryant does to me.â

    âHe wanted to be the best basketball player that he could be,â Jordan said. âAs I got to know him, I wanted to be the best big brother that I could be.â

    âIn the game of basketball, in life, as a parent, Kobe left nothing in the tank,â Jordan said. âHe left it all on the floor.â

    Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan were like two peas in a pod. The way the two played the game of basketball, the killer instincts they shared, the unbelievable work ethic they had, even the way the two stuck out their tongues while dunking on their opponents, were unbelivably similar.

    They were competitors for a very small period of time as Jordan was in the twilight of his career but nonetheless, their contests were a treat for viewers.

    Kobe adored Michael and Michael gave back the love equally. They would talk about the game, family, and everything else in the world there was to talk about. Jordan had transitioned from being an opponent to being an older brother.
