    Quaden is a nine-year-old kid from Brisbane, Australia. At his age, he should be thinking about making new friends, playing with new toys, finishing school assignments, playing in the school playground or maybe thinking about what different sandwich he can take for his new friends at school.

    But what Quaden is thinking instead is "Give me a knife so I can kill myself. I just want to stab myself in the heart. I want someone to kill me." He is only nine and yet he is so disheartened that he wants to kill himself. Why? Because he gets constantly bullied for his dwarfism and he can't take it anymore. Quaden is suffering from achondroplasia.
    In a video that has gone viral, an inconsolable Quaden is seen crying and wanting to kill himself as his mother, Yarraka Bayles talks about the impact that bullying has had on her kid.

    As more and more people started sharing the video asking him to stay strong, Qauden is now getting support from celebrities and reel-life superheroes with Hugh Jackman leading the 'friend request'.

    Wolverine aka Hugh Jackman shared a video on Twitter, where he tells Quaden to stay strong and that he'll always be his friend. "Quaden, you are stronger than you know, mate. And no matter what, you've got a friend in me."
    He also urged his fans that life is already hard enough so why should anyone go that far to hurt others, "please be kind to each other." He further said, "Bullying is not okay. Period. Life is hard enough. Let's just remember every person in front of us is facing the same kind of battle. So let's just be kind."
    Quaden - youâve got a friend in me. #BeKind @LokelaniHiga https://t.co/8dr3j2z8Sy pic.twitter.com/jyqtZYC953
    â Hugh Jackman (@RealHughJackman) February 20, 2020
    Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays villain 'Negan' in The Walking Dead also showed support to Quaden and said, "What I want you to know is that you have friends, me included. I am your buddy. You haven't met me yet, but we'll see if we can change that. Maybe your mom can DM me. You have a bunch of friends out here, out in the world that you haven't met yet. We're here, we got your back. You need to know that. It'll get better."

    Australia's National Rugby League (NRL) members too came forward to stand in solidarity with Quaden.

    UD Comedian Brad WIlliams too came to his support and started a GoFundMe page so that Quaden and his mother can come to the US and visit Disneyland. So far the page has raised $150,000.
    Bullying is NOT okay. It never was and it never will be okay to mock your friends, classmates or colleagues in the name of 'friendly banter'. Nothing can ever justify bullying. Childhood is a critical time for anyone. The things they learn, people they meet and the changes they go through shapes their personality and future. But, is participating in bullying and getting bullied the kind of future we want for our kids? It's time to give them the right education.

    One of the creepiest and mysterious notification was sent out to Samsung Galaxy phone users that basically read â1â with another â1â right below it. The notification was spotted by countless users and screenshots were shared all over Twitter. Samsung responded to the notification saying it was unintentionally set during an internal test.
    © MENSXP
    We received the same notification on the Galaxy Note 10+, Galaxy A51 and the Galaxy S10 Lite proving that it was not an isolated event. The notification came from Samsungâs Find My Mobile service that allows users to track and remotely locate their smartphones and other devices. It is also used to store data on devices linked to Samsung Cloud, delete local data and block access to Samsung Pay. Many users were worried about the notification assuming it was an attempt to hack their phones. 
    Anyone else get that find my mobile push notification that just about gave me a heart attack?

    Jesus christ Samsung

    Aw shit I got this weird "find my mobile" notif and my dumb ass clicked on it and nothing happened but I'm lowkey creeped out now
    â Heaven's lust (@SusetheViktoria) February 20, 2020
    Accidental notifications are not a new thing as OnePlus also recently sent out a weird notification that contained Chinese characters. It was a failed internal test for software update, but it freaked out many OnePlus users at the time. 
    © MENSXP/akshhay bhalla
    Some users also complained that the Find My Mobile app also drained considerable battery after the notification appeared, however Samsung has not addressed that issue yet. As of now, you do not need to change your passwords or reset your phone as it was probably just an internal test for one of Samsungâs cloud features.

    Ayushmann Khurrana is the only man who has never let us down with his movies, and it's safe to assume he never will. The guy gives back-to-back hits, a great performance after another, and hopefully, his streak will continue throughout his career. 

    His latest release is no different; it's a shubh mangal day for Ayushmann as his movie Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan is already being considered a hit online. 
    That's what happens when you're unproblematic and do incredible movies, everyone should take notes, tbh.


    As everyone knows, the plot of the movie is about same-*** marriages and it can be a tricky topic to approach since it can get problematic very quickly, if not portrayed well. 
    But, going by the reviews, looks like director Hitesh Kewalya managed to perfectly bring a romance to life and gave an important message about family and love.

    #ShubhMangalZyaadaSaavdhan the steak continues for @ayushmannk he has tat Midas touch, brilliant acting n story captures today's issue n tackles it,hats off to everyone #ShubhMangalZyadaSavdhaan is a hit, #ayushmanbhava
    Another feather in his success. pic.twitter.com/PwftsIpG7o
    â ZeA (@nitecrawlerz) February 21, 2020Isn't that a good thing?
    #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan interval: I am dead laughing .


    â badal: the cloud ï¸ (@badal_bnftv) February 21, 2020That's saying a lot.
    .@ayushmannk #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan is fantastic so far. The way they have treated the topic is so different from the way homosexuality has been dealt with in Bollywood. Thank you! pic.twitter.com/oHFFdJPK3e
    â Mayukh Majumdar (@themayukhsutra) February 21, 2020And, I oop-
    #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan is pretentious, preachy and at times even boring. Issue lies in poor screenplay with forced one-liners, no connect in the narrative & multiple on your face monologues. Some sub-plots are illogical, performance of entire cast stands out.

    â­â­ (2 Stars)
    â Himesh (@HimeshMankad) February 21, 2020That's a first.
    A must watch movie. First movie in bollywood not mocking homosexuality and actually accepting it. Movie did not disappoint at all.
    Watched it first day first show.
    Loved it @ayushmannk and jeetu bhaiya #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan pic.twitter.com/zGqO4lexQF
    â Bhumika ia #HeartBreakWeather â̽â̽ (@alwayslou24) February 21, 2020The actor that stands out.
    #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan is really enjoyable, funny, weird and audacious. Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao are top notch. Entire supporting cast actually. And Ayushmann continues having a ball and doing what no one else would.
    â lÉɯÉÊÉ¥s (@ShyFyy) February 20, 2020That's a balanced review.
    #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan - Bog-standard flick, depicts the homosexuality subject with maturity but lacks soul, falls flat in comical sequences . Ayushman & the entire star cast did a fine job , but couldnât rise above the lackluster script. Might work with youth.
    Rating- â­ï¸â­ï¸
    â Sumit kadel (@SumitkadeI) February 21, 2020Okay, then.
    #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan is an AVERAGE watch! Filled with Funny & Witty dialogues. 99% of the laughs are caused by Gajraj Rao, Manurishi, Neena Gupta & Sunita Rajwar. However story & screenplay are average. Editing is lazy. Music is okay. Climax is heart-warming.

    #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan will be yet another success story for @ayushmannk. It's a brave film which presents a sensitive Topic in very interesting and Impactful way. The first half is simply Laugh riot & Second half explores few emotions and has Laughing Moments too.

    #ShubhMangalZyadaSaavdhan : is a victory for cinema and artists after years of stereotyping #homosexuality.

    For a lot of people in the industry, (and outside of it) Ranbir Kapoor sets the standard for cleaning up well whenever he steps out, no matter the occasion. People admire him not just for his style but also for his sense of dressing in a way that complements the ambiance.  He's also associated with a kind of cool, effortless style that men want to embody in their life. The style in question is the kind that gets you the brownie points without having to look like you've racked your brains for hours to put together a look. 

    © Ranbir Kapoor/ Instagram (fan account)
    Earlier this week, Universal Sportsbiz Pvt. Ltd. announced Ranbir Kapoor as the new brand ambassador for their menswear brand, 'SINGLE', the brand can be defined as a young, vibrant menâs casualwear brand. We caught up with Ranbir Kapoor and here's what he has to say about his personal style and how he prefers his outfits on a daily basis.

    © Ranbir Kapoor/ Instagram (fan account)
    1. How would you define your personal style?

    When it comes to style â I believe that comfort is extremely important. My personal style is rather simple and easygoing. In my closet, you'll find what I think are definite must-haves like a bunch of well-fitted t-shirts and shirts, comfortable pairs of denim and sneakers!
    © Ranbir Kapoor/ Instagram (fan account)
    2. What would you wear to a date/a wedding?

    It really depends. For a date, I like to make an effort while also keeping my personal style in mind. I love wearing quirky, graphic tees as they really amp-up a casual look instantly, I would then complete the look with a smart blazer or a shirt and choose either a pair of bold sneakers or classic loafers as per the ambiance of the place.
    On the other hand, when it comes to a wedding, you can never go wrong with a sharp and well-fitted Kurta worn with either a jacket or a classic bandhgala.

    3. What's your go-to outfit when you have to step out?

    I usually go with a t-shirt, jeans, and a cap. I like layering-up my look with a lot of basic pieces like a shirt over a t-shirt paired with denims or joggers. I also like to include a statement piece that represents my personality â either a pop colour t-shirt or a smart checkered shirt. I think smart casuals work great that way, they have everything you need to transform your everyday closet in order to stand apart.
    4. Who's your style inspiration?

    I am a huge fan of Lionel Messi. I love his effortless sense of style and how he carries his outfits with ease without trying too hard.
    © Ranbir Kapoor/ Instagram (fan account)
    5. One style tip that you'd like to give to men?

    I think the best advice I would like to give men is not to try too hard when it comes to fashion. Always dress keeping your personality in mind and be confident while doing that.
    6. Why did you choose to associate with 'SINGLE'?

    The brand embodies my sense of style. It offers a wide range of basics, casualwear essentials as well as statement pieces which make for the perfect additions to my wardrobe. I love how the brand has stayed true to the classic wardrobe essentials - t-shirts and denim while keeping up with the latest trends.

    If last year was the year of sneakers, this year is turning out to be the year of the watches. For most of us, the year has barely just started, and we already have celebrities drop some serious wrist goals for us, in terms of some amazing watches. Of course, that is if we have the budget for that and exorbitant amounts of cash lying around and burning a hole in our pocket.

    © Instagram/ranveersingh
    Just recently he was seen wearing a space watch that was actually designed for astronauts and space fans.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Now though, he has upped the ante with a finely made, black timepiece, that is simply, understated class at its best.

    © Viral Bhayani
    But, first, let us get to his outfit.

    Aparshakti is seen here wearing a rather baggy, black jacket from Virgil Ablohâs Off-White. The jacket with its minimalistic decals and baggy silhouette do look good on Aparshakti, given his height and lean built. 

    © Viral Bhayani
    The basic pink t-shirt also goes well with the ensemble, considering how they match his pink, polka dot sneakers and how they sit in contrast with the jacket and his black, cargo joggers. Speaking of sneakers, the low top polka dot sneakers, surely do look cool and is quite a zany way to go androgynous.

    © Viral Bhayani
    Finally, coming to the watch that heâs wearing. The black timepiece that we see on Aparshakti is the Casablanca in Black from Franck Muller, a Geneva-based Swiss Watchmaker, who are known for some really out of the world complications that they add to their watches.
    © Franck Muller
    The watch is a part of Franck Mullerâs more conventionally designed watches, which, as simplistic as they might seem, are actually some of the best timepieces on the market. Naturally, the watch is a favourite among collectors.

    © Viral Bhayani
    You would imagine that they watch is priced astronomically high just like most of Aparshaktis fast fashion pieces. Well, the watch isnât exactly cheap. Listed at $9,800, the watch converts to just over, Rs 7,00,000. Considering how often we have seen celebrities wear watches that go north of Rs 50 Lakhs, this Franck Muller actually seems quite affordable.

    © Viral Bhayani
    All in all, way to go Aparshakti. Keep those zany pieces coming.

    We can't wait to catch Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone back on the big screen again playing one of India's favourite cricketers Kapil Dev and his wife Romi Dev, respectively, in the upcoming movie 83, out in April 2020. 

    The movie will, obviously, focus on Kapil Dev's career and of course the World Cup victory for team India in the 1983 Cricket World Cup.
    © Reliance Entertainment
    But we're more fascinated and excited about Deepika and Ranveer's jodi onscreen because it mirrors the fantastic love story of Kapil and Romi and we would love to narrate that to you, because it's so simple and real and a great inspiration for today's generation. 

    Moreover, what today's generation truly needs is a constant reminder of how love should be interpreted and how it's not solely dependent on frivolity and random dating apps, at all times. Both Kapil and Romi are a standing testimony for everlasting love and maybe we can learn a thing or two from their beautiful relationship.
    © YouTube
    Romi has always played a huge part in Kapil's cricketing career and has been a famous entrepreneur who's managed to balance out her career with that of her husbands, and has taken care of their home and lives, all at once. Maybe that's why Kapil fell insanely in love with her, upon meeting her for the first time, through a common friend and that's how it all began. They stayed together for a year, romancing each other. Kapil was mesmerised by Romi's beauty and her strong personality and he popped the marriage question exactly a year after being with her.

    © BCCL
    The two were on a train when he got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. Yes, today's wedding proposals are a bit more elaborate, where people are taken to fancy new destinations to propose, but to make a relationship last, it needs a lot more than a fancier dose of initial euphoria. After Romi said yes to Kapil on a moving train, they got married in 1980 and seemed like the happiest couple in love.

    In 1994, they had a daughter named Amiya, who was born almost 14 years after they got married. the couple has been together for almost 40 years now and it's reflective in the way they've been there for each other. 
    Kapil considers Romi to be his lucky charm since he won the World Cup three years after she came into his life. Kapil had to face tough times in his career but Romi stood by him as fiercely and as strongly as a rock and helped him overcome everything. 
    If anything, we can learn to be there for the ones we love even in their most daunting moments. We can learn to love people without leaving their side when they need us the most and we can also learn to love people a little less frivolously and a little more responsibly.
    © BCCL
    As Deepika and Ranveer tell us more about Kapil and Romi's Journey through their film 83, here's wishing both Kapil and Romi a lifetime of happiness and love!

    In case you were not aware, Mumbaiâs favourite street food and one of the most fascinating yet delicious gems of Indian street food, the humble yet wonderful âvada pavâ has made it to the âTop 10 Burgers in the world' list, curated by Michelin star chefs Ravinder Bhogal of Jikoni in London and Prateek Sadhu of Masque in Mumbai. 
    © Pinterest
    Now, while one might argue about it not exactly being a 'burger' but the fact that it has made it to a rather prestigious list proves that no one knows how to do food like us Indians. 

    A casual conversation at work brought up two immediate reactions to this piece of information. Firstly, a major craving for vada pav and secondly, which places makes the best one. Since we are a team of excited brains hailing from various parts of this country, I decided to curate a list of some of the best joints that serve some of the most scrumptious vada pavs across India:
    1.     Swati Snacks (Mumbai) â 
    The vada pav served at this place is what led the Michelin chefs to come to their conclusion. So, I guess, one needs no more reason to actually go and just try the pav here for oneâs own approval!

    2.     Ashok Vada Pav ( Mumbai)- 
    Another famous joint in Dadar which, besides the classic version, also serves a âchoora pavâ, which is choora mixed with spicy chutney stuffed in the pav. Yummmm!

    While you might ask, 'why find vada pav in Bangalore?', the answer to that is, craving can strike you anywhere, right? This chain has multiple outlets and serves some really good vada pav. Check it out when you are in Bengaluru.
    4.     Lokesh Pav Bhaji & Vada Pav Stall (Bengaluru)- 
    This quaint stall in Indiranagar is a good option in case you are craving some hot vada pav with a side of pav bhaji.

    There are numerous joints of this brand and while Delhi has a list of its own iconic street food, this is a good bet for hot vada pavs and some spicy dabeli.
    6.     Maharashtra Sadan ( Delhi) â 
    This is the official state canteen of Maharashtra, so, in case you are missing home or just want a foolproof way of consuming the best vada pav, then just head here.
    View this post on InstagramWhenever i hear the word 'Mumbai' the next thing comes to my mind is #vadapav, which basically is a potato vada with lots of garlic n masalas in it, inside the bun with lots of garlic chautney(#sookhachutney) and fried green chillies. It is one of the delicacies and by far the best street food of Mumbai. But thank fully its available in delhi as well. So we had this vada pav at #maharashtrasadan today and it reminded me of my #Mumbai days. . . . . . . . . #mumbai#vadapavlover#vadapav#delhikavadapav#maharashtrasadan#foodiegram#foodcoma#foodporn#foodgasm#nomnom#thisyumness#iloveit #streetfood#thebest#sodelhi#fooduandi_official#swatiichandak @sodelhi @fbci_official @indianfoodbloggers @onlyindelhiiA post shared by (@fooduandi)

    If asked what you see yourself doing at 60, I bet most of us would perhaps come up with something along the lines of 'retire 'n' chill'. Hardly ever will you expect someone to say stuff like 'break a world record' and that too in what could possibly be called one of the most difficult forms of exercise known to mankind - abdominal planks.

    © Twitter
    But that was exactly what a legit senior citizen went ahead and did. 62-year-old George Hood shattered a planking world record by setting a fresh one of his own, and claimed the title of âLongest Male Abdominal Plankâ.

    George performed the plank for as long as eight hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds to overtake the previous record-holder named Mao Weirdong, who is a police officer in China. Hood passed Mao by a good 14-minute margin to break the world record.
    © Twitter
    Reportedly a former US Marine, Hood is said to have undertaken the task in the company of his family and friends who were present there to lend their support to him. Apparently the local high school band also joined them to show their support and played band music for the first five hours!


    If you have ever tried planking you will agree that this one is probably one of the most âtestingâ forms of exercise which can put our entire body to work. This core strength exercise is known to work on an individualâs multiple muscles, to tone and strengthen it. However, at the same time, it also tends to be quite scary when you just start out with planks, and the endurance for it has to be built over time, in order to hold it for as long as one can.

    © Twitter
    Though even eight hours seem like a hell of a lot of time to hold the plank position, it turns out Hood had reportedly planked for 10 hours and 10 minutes back in 2018. I mean, I simply canât imagine doing a 10-minute plank, and look at this man go!

    It has also been reported that Hood did 674,000 sit-ups and 270,000 push-ups in order to train for the task. Guess all that physical training paid off for good.

    Earlier this month, Joaquin Phoenix stepped up to the Oscar podium to receive his Oscar for âBest Actorâ - giving a long-awaited speech that shook both longtime fans and the legions of new followers heâs gained from his performance in Todd Phillipsâ Joker. 

    © Reuters
    Some 23.6 million people watched the Oscars this year - making prime award speeches such as âBest Actorâ a pretty incredible platform to raise awareness for social causes. In the past, actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio took the moment to highlight climate awareness issues - Phoenix, however, not only gave those a mention, but took apart the meat and dairy industry with a nuanced and philosophical piece on human selfishness and ignorance of the suffering of animals.

    âI think that weâve become very disconnected from the natural world and many of us what weâre guilty of is an egocentric worldview, the belief that weâre the centre of the universe,â asserted Phoenix. âWe go into the natural world, and we plunder it for its resources. We feel entitled to artificially inseminate a cow, and when she gives birth, we steal her baby even though her cries of anguish are unmistakable. Then we take her milk thatâs intended for her calf, and we put it in our coffee and our cereal.â

    It wasnât all lip-service though. Earlier this week, Phoenix knocked on the doors of a Californian slaughterhouse, with the intent to rescue a calf and mother-cow from the axe.


    Along with an entourage that consisted of Phoenixâs fiancee, actress and activist Rooney Mara, the pairâs mothers, Earthlings Director Shaun Monson, Los Angeles Animal Save Founder Amy Jean Davis, and animal rights activist, Gene Baur.

    Joaquin spoke with the CEO of the Pico Rivera slaughterhouse, Anthony di Maria, and explained his animal welfare views. Di Maria said his operation was different from others across America in the way they don't separate their newborn cows from their mothers straight after birth. After introductions, he went on to take the entourage for a tour of the facility.

    After this, the owner went on to allow Phoenix to take a calf and her mother away from the slaughterhouse. A pretty emotional scene unfolded as Phoenix took the pair into a trailer, calf in arms.

    The cow and her calf, named Liberty and Indigo respectively, were taken to Baurâs Farm Sanctuary, where theyâll be able to live out in peace. Baur insists that the video was unplanned in the wake of Phoenixâs Oscar speech - regardless of whether it was or not, the actor has long campaigned against animal cruelty. Heâs been a vegan for several years now and has had a long-running association with PETA. His support also shows itself behind-the-scenes in his films - for his stellar role as Johnny Cash, the actor famously donned vegan leather boots. 
    The actor concluded: "I never thought I'd find friendship in a slaughterhouse, but meeting Anthony and opening my heart to his, I realise we might have more in common than we do differences. Without his act of kindness, Liberty and her baby calf, Indigo, would have met a terrible demise.â
    âMy hope is, as we watch baby Indigo grow up with her mom Liberty at Farm Sanctuary, that we'll always remember that friendships can emerge in the most unexpected places; and no matter our differences, kindness and compassion should rule everything around us.â

    What makes a person a true sneakerhead? If you're new to the enticing world of sneakers and have only started admiring the impeccable details on each silhouette, it's time you get introduced to terms that will help you navigate your way in a world where hypebeasts wait for the next sneaker drop and 'Player Exclusives' are more precious than diamonds. 

    Here's what you should know:

    1âs, 3âs, 4âs, 5âs-

    This refers to Jordans that are made each year, and are numbered likewise. If you hear something along the lines of âHey, those threes are pretty dope,â theyâre usually talking about a Jordan 3.
    Aglets-

    Aglets are the tips of the shoelaces secured and bound together in a plastic sheath. However, these days they're also made of materials like carbon fibre to even custom labelled versions.

    Beaters-

    Beaters can be defined as the go-to sneakers that despite being worn multiple times, look stellar. More importantly, the wear and tear over the years, adds character to the silhouette and unconsciously you will reach out for your beaters every time you need to pick sneakers with your outfit.
    Bespoke-
    Bespoke refers to "made to order," or "made to fit," it definitely does not mean off the rack. The term comes from suits and shoes that were customized. Bespoke for sneakers refers to one-of-a-kind Air Force 1 designed at Nike's 21 Mercer location where they lend a one-of-a-kind experience of creating a personalized silhouette with access to all sorts of materials and finishes, right down to the stitching and labels even. An experience that every sneakerhead wants to check off their bucket list.

    Breds- 

    Breds refers to the colour combination of black and red, usually associated with the colourways of Jordans.
    Coke Whites-

    Coke whites, as the name suggests, are sneakers that are whiter than white sneakers.
    Colourways- 

    A sneaker's colourway is the exacting combination of colours combinations used in a sneaker. Sometimes, different combinations are given nicknames in terms of colourways used in a sneaker.

    Deadstock-

    DS, an acronym of Deadstockis is a term that refers to a pair of sneakers that have never been worn before.
    Deubré- 

    The iconic Air Force 1 features an intriguing detail, the deubré. While 'lace tag' is a simple way of referring to it, deubré makes it sound cooler.
    Flight Club- 

    A sneaker consignment store. Besides eBay, the flight club is the go-to place for resellers and buyers for limited sneakers.

    Grails- 

    Grails, in Seakerpedia, is very similar to a bucket list. Now, a bucket list can be defined as a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. Likewise, grails are shoes you have to have before you die. Grails tend to be extremely limited sneakers that can define your sneaker collection or even complete them but you'' have to pay a hefty price for it.
    High-Top- 

    High-tops, back in the day were actual high-tops i.e the height of the sneaker was well above the top of the ankle. However, in present times, there are very few true high-tops made. They're a rare collectable for some sneakerheads.

    Hypebeast- 

    A Hypebeast consumes 'hype', this means they'll get every new release. Basically, the more hyped the sooner it'll be in their collection. However, this may not necessarily be a good thing, considering some times certain sneakers may not be worth the hype.
    Hyperstrike- 

    The Hyperstrike refers to the most limited editions. They generally drop without warning and due to limited supply, their prices skyrocket. Another distinct feature of Hyperstrikes is the fact that they are kept under wraps for as long as possible, it's hard to get your hands on this one.

    Lows- 

    Lows, or otherwise known as low-tops, are typically cut below the top of the ankle or lower.
    Mids- 

    Mids are the most commonly sighted sneakers. So, trainers and many basketball shoes fall into the mid-cut category.

    OGs- 

    Like the acronym suggests, OGs stand for Originals. The first time a silhouette is released, it's called OG. Not a re-release or a collaboration, or a second edition for that matter.
    Player Edition- 

    A player-edition sneaker is one that is designed in collaboration with a sporting star. Then they're retailed off with the player's name attached to the silhouette, and the brand the played share profits. These are often limited editions and the prices go up once a player retires or dies untimely. An example of this will be 'Kobes', sneakers based on the legendary basketball player Kobe Bryant.

    Player Exclusives- 

    With PE as an acronym, a player-exclusive sneaker is designed for the player and the player alone. These aren't meant for retail in the market. Colourways are one-of-a-kind and they only come in one size on sites like eBay at exorbitant prices.
    Reseller- 

    A reseller is an entity that buys sneakers in bulk with the intent of selling them. People associate resellers with people who attach extra zeroes on the price tag, but they're also the ones going to lengths to get limited-edition sneakers.

    Retro- 

    A retro model is a sneaker silhouette that came out in the last couple of years in response to the overwhelming demand that is re-released.
    Tonal- 

    Tonal refers to single-colour makeup. Tonal is a fancy way of saying that the sneaker is all in one colour.

    Upper- 

    When describing a shoe, the upper is essentially any portion above the outsole and midsole. The 'upper' is materials like colours, straps and sometimes even wings.

    A waiter tripped and now, we're tripping over the fact that he didn't drop anything after tripping. This could honestly be a tongue-twister. But seriously, this might be the most impressive thing I've ever seen, or among my top five at least. Just tripping and falling is something every clumsy person can relate to, but not destroying anything is something no one can. Maybe, only superheroes, since the incident is quite similar to that one iconic Spider-Man scene.


    Now, look at our guy.

    Just flawless. Big Spider-Man energy.
    The superhero in question is 24-year-old Jamie Shoebridge, who slipped on some peppercorn sauce and fell to the floor, taking down a decorative plant in the process. But, his balance was so impeccable he managed to drop not even a single thing. All the four plates were completely okay.
    Talking about the incident, he said, "One minute I was walking along with the plates and the next minute I was on the floor. I lost my footing and fell down face first. There was some peppercorn sauce on the floor and I slipped on it. Itâs all a blur and Iâm not sure how it happened. It was just an instinct to lift my arms up and try to save the plates. I just got back up and carried on as normal."

    He basically pulled off something almost impossible and then carried on like nothing happened. What a cool thing to do!

    He went on to add, "I have no idea how none of the plates got smashed. Iâm impressed with myself. It didnât hurt but I was very confused as to how it happened. We all had a laugh about it in the office. It has become a bit of a running joke at work now."
    I feel bad for all the people who work there now, tbh. Imagine dropping something after this incident and being reminded of Jamie's superhero act. No one can mess up now, it would be so embarrassing.

    India's obsession with statues has only just begun and we're seeing structures and statues of various Gods come up in different parts of the country. At least, this time, though, the statues are of Gods and not of politicians and it's a bit of a relief, if not much. 

    India's on a mission of creating the 'world's tallest statues', which began with the 182-metre tall statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, also known as the Statue of Unity, inaugurated in October 2018.
    © Twitter
    As of now, we don't have much clarity on the details and the construction of the Hanuman statue but we do know that the statue will be 10 feet shorter than Lord Rama's since Hanuman looked up to Rama and they both were inseparable. But other than that, we're not sure when the project will begin or what the eventual cost would be either. 

    If you think this is the first statue of Lord Hanuman then you're mistaken. Currently, the tallest statue of Lord Hanuman is the Veera Abhaya Anjaneya Hanuman Swami, located in the Paritala town Near Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh which stands at a height of 41 meters. 
    While the Hindu Gods are getting their cemented places in the country, a proposed 114-foot Jesus Christ statue, which was to be built in Harobele village of Karnataka's Kanakapura, a predominantly Christian locality, has been denied construction as many BJP leaders and several Hindu groups opposed it for it to be built.
    We're sure these statues will eventually serve their purpose of winning one race or the another to see which one is the tallest built God statute in the country.
    Meanwhile, here are people with some mixed feelings about the Hanuman Statue.
    I have one question:
    Build this, yes, please, but when are we allotting rationing for the hungry children and making govt schools more robust? Are we more into Dharm pooja or Karm pooja?
    â Ankush (@creatywitty) February 20, 2020Please don't use our tax money. Use it on children who need food and education.
    â Great King (of Cauvery delta) (@Mudi_raj1) February 20, 2020Great project, in fact Kishkinda is worth visiting place by Koppal in Karnataka. Namo has gotten complete staircase to the top, roofed to cover sun and rain ! I hv become subscriber of yr services, Jai sriram !
    â Har Har Mahadev ! (@hindubangu) February 20, 2020Statue kyu nahi banaya muftkhori ki aadat hai dilli valo jo aese fijul kharchi karke hospitals school banva rahe hai
    Hamare yaha up me abhi deen dayalu ka statue bana hai phir abhi raam ka banega uske baad seeta ka phir hanuman ka phit laxman aese karte karte ham ek din vishguru
