    Ever since the makers of Taapsee Pannuâs Thappad dropped the trailer, a debate on domestic violence has been initiated and people have appreciated the actor for talking about something which everyone has been taking for granted.

    After watching the trailer, many people said that the movie is only talking about domestic violence but Taapsee begs to differ as according to her, the movie talks about a lot of other things too.

    âThe film is not just about domestic violence. It is just one trigger. There is a dialogue in the film which says 'I can suddenly see all the unfair things that I did not notice earlier'. So Thappad (slap) is a trigger and suddenly you see these things that were taken for granted in a relationship," Taapsee told PTI in an interview.

    She added that through the movie, they are trying to bring out the elephant in the room. âIt is like there is a (separate) to-do list for both women and men that is expected from them in a relationship. Who decided this? Did you just blindly follow what was told to you? It is not a mistake of any one person but of everyone as a society that we are trying to normalize it," Taapsee said.

    When asked about the setting of an upper-middle-class family in the movie, Taapsee said it was a conscious decision to keep it that way as domestic violence is not only restricted to uneducated people. âIt is not that such things happen in those houses where people are uneducated, this happens in educated families as well. It is happening with three women out of five," she said.

    âWhen you are growing up you are told to follow certain things. But with age, as I became independent, I realized I am working as hard as a man of my age and I am earning well, maybe not more, but I can run my house like any other man. So why are rules different for me? I should not do certain things because I am a woman, why? When you start becoming independent, you become confident and start questioning things,â Taapsee raised valid questions targeting society.

    Taapsee Pannu plays the role of Amrita, a wife who moves court to seek divorce after her husband slaps her at a party. However, everyone, including her parents, questions her move saying it's a 'trivial' matter. 

    Hereâs the trailer: 

    The movie, also featuring Pavail Gulati, Dia Mirza, Ratna Pathak Shah, Tanvi Azmi, Kumud Mishra, and Manav Kaul, is set to hit the theatres on February 28.

    If you love animals, you'll relate to this. And if you don't, this article is especially for you then, I think. 

    An animal rights activist is asking us to stop referring to animals as 'pets', as the terminology is derogatory and we love the idea behind it! Yes, while mistreating animals was always an issue within the confines of animal welfare, now using proper and appropriate terminology is also a must, especially for the pets. 
    Ingrid Newkirk, a 70-year-old animal activist, who co-founded PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals), with fellow activist Alex Pacheco, says calling animals 'pets' is just like calling women 'honey', 'sweetie' or 'baby'.
    "Animals are not pets - they are not your cheap burglar alarm or something which allows you to go out for a walk. They are not ours as decorations or toys, they are living beings. "she told a popular entertainment publication.

    Aparshakti Khurana is at the top of his style game right now. A quick look at his sartorial choices and you would see how he makes a statement with any given fashion item. Be it him wearing a tattered sweatshirt or a dope outfit with security tags on it, this man has truly formed his own fashion league and is raising the stakes only higher.

    View this post on InstagramEthnic is the new chic ð« @shantanunikhil ð¸ @subisamuelA post shared by (@aparshakti_khurana)
    Every time he is papped, we never fail to take notice of his eccentric style. Even the latest instance proves that Apar has a thing for edgy silhouettes and zany shoes. While the whole world is hopping on chunky sneakers, Khurana, on the other hand, made a mind-boggling statement with sock sneakers and we instantly fell in love with this unusual breed of shoes!

    He is wearing Balenciaga's trainers with the two-tone soles. These sneakers have a knit-sock effect. This iteration by Balenciaga has an iconic silhouette and the thick foam fabric envelopes well around the whole foot. Furthermore, the vibrant hue adds to the overall appeal of these sneakers.

    © Balenciaga
    Additionally, they have a stretch knit and breathable fabric which instantly nix the task of wearing laces. Just put them on like socks and you're done!

    The price? Well, the pair retails for Rs 56,000 and since they are available only with International e-tailers, you will also have to bear the customs and import duties. 

    Coming to Aparshakti's outfit, we love the way he has accessorised a basic outfit with a beret and opaque sunglasses. The Moschino joggers coupled with a relaxed hoodie and sock sneakers upped the street creds.
    All in all, this is a really cool outfit. Plus, the sock sneakers score more brownie points. Kudos, Apar!

    In a country where cricket is considered to be a religion, India equally celebrates its cricketers like demigods. Garnering an unmatched public interest, many cricketers, over the years, including the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli consistently enjoy the limelight. But, while the cricketing icons continue to hog the spotlight, one woman has carved her own niche in the country's beloved sport. 

    For someone who once aspired to be a graphic designer, Myanti Langer has undeniably come a long way to establish herself as one of the most recognisable faces in a sport that continues to be dominated by men. Owing to her unique insights, a great understanding of the game and exceptional analysis, the 34-year-old has managed to create her own fanbase in cricket-crazy India. 
    View this post on InstagramBack in the habit ð #cricketlive #cricketloveA post shared by (@mayantilanger_b)
    While her ability to analyse the gentleman's game on television has earned her plaudits over the years, Mayanti's 'no-nonsense' approach to set the trolls straight on social media has further struck a chord with cricket fans. For an independent woman who has achieved success and fame on the back of relentless hard work, Mayanti is often targetted for her husband Stuart Binny's brief stint with Team India. 
    Whether her hubby scores a hundred or gets out for a duck, social media trolls just won't let the sports presenter catch a break. Even her normal posts, that has got nothing to do with Stuart, end up garnering baseless comparisons on social media platforms. In the latest case, Mayanti and her husband were once again targeted by a troll who eventually learned a key lesson.

    â Mayanti Langer Binny (@MayantiLanger_B) February 4, 2020

    Taking to Twitter, Mayanti shared a photo of herself where she was seen striking a pose inside what looked like a studio. "Itâs a rather colourful life in our studio," she tweeted. While many liked her picture in the tweet, a cricket fan posted with a query: "Where is Stuart Binny nowadays???". 
    Where is Stuart Binny nowadays ..???
    â Shafqat Yousuf (@shafqaty6) February 4, 2020

    In response to the question, another fan joined in and suggested that: "He is helping her in carrying her baggage". While Mayanti generally refrains from engaging with such trolls, she made this one an exception to shut the troll down. 
    I can carry my own baggage thank you very much ?? heâs busy living his life, playing cricket, just being awesome in general, and not passing comments on people he doesnât know ??
    â Mayanti Langer Binny (@MayantiLanger_B) February 4, 2020

    In what turned out to be a befitting reply, Mayanti didn't just step up for her husband, but eventually managed to shut the troll for good. "I can carry my own baggage thank you very much heâs busy living his life, playing cricket, just being awesome in general, and not passing comments on people he doesnât know," she replied.

    Philanthropy and the willingness to reach out and help others have a better life is not something you can force someone to do. You donât have to be earning in millions and billions to extend a helping hand. All you need is the conviction to uplift the standards of living for someone other than yourself and you too can contribute towards making the world a better place. 
    The governing body of the game of field hockey in India, Hockey India has done an exceptional job in showing compassion and supporting those in need in the recent past. 
    Last month, news broke out that the organisation had made a donation worth $25,000 (approximately Rs 18 lakh) towards the victims and survivors of the unfortunate and catastrophic Australia bushfire. Alongside the monetary donation, they also provided four playing autographed Indian Menâs and Womenâs jerseys to the auction. 
    Hockey India is happy to support Australia amidst the wild fires by donating $US 25,000 and providing four playing signed Indian Menâs and Womenâs jerseys to auction. All proceeds to go to the cause.

    âHockey India is happy to support Australia amidst the wildfires by donating $US 25,000 and providing four playing signed Indian Menâs and Womenâs jerseys to auction. All proceeds to go to the cause. Standing in solidarity with @HockeyAustralia,â Hockey India announced on their official Twitter handle. 
    For their heroic gesture and a significant contribution towards the victims earned them applause from all over the world including their Australian counterpart. "I want to note the wonderful support we have received from our international colleagues during this devastating time for our country," Hockey Australia president Melanie Woosnam thanked Hockey India. "We acknowledge and sincerely thank Hockey India for their thoughts and their very charitable contribution to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal." 
    Now, once again, the sports body has won hearts all over the country after doing something meaningful on the occasion of World Cancer Day as players and staff of the Indian Men's Hockey Team showed their support to the patients of this deadly disease as they visited affected patients at the Capital Hospital on Tuesday. 
    Members of the Indian Men's Hockey Team met with patients undergoing treatment for cancer in Bhubaneswar as part of the World Cancer Day awareness program. 
    Supporting the fighters, admiring the survivors and honouring the taken.

    â Hockey India (@TheHockeyIndia) February 4, 2020

    With the support of Konark Cancer Foundation, an NGO which helps affected patients in distress, eight national players, namely Akashdeep Singh, Varun Kumar, Simranjeet Singh, Sumit, Suraj Karkera, Dipsan Tirkey, Nilam Sanjeep Xess and Jaskaran Singh, along with coaches Shivendra Singh and Piyush Kumar Dubey visited the cancer wing of the Capital Hospital to interact with and show support to the patients. During the visit, the Indian Men's Hockey Team witnessed a street show organised by the NGO, and then progressed to the cancer wing to meet 25 affected patients, who were also provided with fruits by the players. 
    "On the occasion of World Cancer Day, we wanted to show our support towards the patients affected by this deadly disease. We have always been blessed with the support of millions of fans, and in return, on behalf of Hockey India and the Indian Men's Hockey Team, we want to make sure that through such initiatives we can help in spreading more awareness about the disease," said veteran Forward Akashdeep Singh. 
    If you are a sports enthusiast in India, you know that hockey isnât the most followed sport here and they are certainly not the biggest sports entity of the nation. Even then, they have managed to feel for those who are in dire need of support and have put their best step forward every single time they could. 
    I repeat, philanthropy is not something you can force someone to do but Hockey India have clearly earned some extra brownie points in my books.

    Fashion is what you buy, but style is what you do with it.

    With celebrity outfits getting stranger by the day, Kartik Aaryan is someone who doesn't mind dipping his toes in bizarre trends while styling his outfits, and more so especially when his film, Love Aaj Kal with co-star Sara Ali Khan, is scheduled to release this month.

    The much-awaited film is slated to release on February 14; and recently, for a promotional event for the film, he was seen in the strangest pair of track pants we've seen in a long time. 
    Here, take a look:
    © Viral Bhayani
    But if you take a close look at these track pants you'll notice that it looks like they're made by stitching up a bunch of vintage car posters together. However this can never be the case, considering the material of posters can be so fragile. 
    Also, speaking of his outfit, the sweatshirt is from A Cold Wall, the track pants are from Adaptation. This is what the pair looks like:
    © Adaptation
    One can easily pair these track pants with a snug graphic hoodie or a snazzy sweatshirt and a pair of chunky sneakers to create a laid-back relaxed look. However, at the same time, it's not the kind of outfit that'll give people reason to believe that it's effortless, courtesy the vintage track pants that give the outfit an eclectic vibe to the entire look. 
    Besides, people tend to pick out solids when it comes to pants or joggers, a quirky pair like this one, is definitely an eyebrow-raiser.
    This is convenient for Kartik as it turns out,  vintage track pants are not just style-centric but also functional. However, this is not the first time the Love Aaj Kal actor has chosen to step out in an unconventional pair of pants. 
    Previously he's also been seen in joggers with 6 dangling zippers. 
    But coming back to this outfit, we'd love to see more of such unconventional joggers on Kartik Aaryan.

    India's following protocol quite swiftly, with regard to the onset of coronavirus in China and some parts of the world, including India. The first Air India flight that left for China brought back 324 Indian nationals from coronavirus-hit Wuhan on February 1, 2020 at 7:30 in the morning. 220 citizens were sent to the Army quarantine facility in Manesar and the rest 104 were sent to ITBP facility at Chawla camp.
    © Twitter
    A second flight took off for China to bring back more Indian nationals stranded there, on Sunday, February 2. 323 Indians were brought back and along with them came 7 nationals from the island of Maldives. We're not sure how the protocol was handled but the flight came back with 7 citizens from the tiny island, and the Maldives Foreign Minister, Abdulla Rashid, took to Twitter to express his gratitude to India and the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. The gesture certainly didn't go unnoticed.
    The Maldives Prime Minister said that the seven Maldivian nationals will be housed in Delhi for a few days before they make their way home.
    His tweet said the following:
    â7 Maldivians in #Wuhan are on their way to Delhi on a special #AirIndia flight. Upon arrival they will be housed in Delhi for a period of quarantine. Deep gratitude to PM @narendramodi and EM @DrSJaishankar. Special thanks to Ambassadorsâ. 
    7 Maldivians in #Wuhan are on their way to Delhi on a special #AirIndia flight. Upon arrival they will be housed in Delhi for a period of quarantine. Deep gratitude to PM @narendramodi and EM @DrSJaishankar. Special thanks to Ambassadors @VikramMisri @sunjaysudhir and their teams
    â Abdulla Shahid (@abdulla_shahid) February 2, 2020

    Rashid called India's gesture 'an action that reflects historic ties of kinship between the two countries and synergy between the Neighbourhood First and India First policyâ.
    Not only did he extend his gratitude towards India, Rashid also thanked China for all their help for taking care of the citizens.
    Grateful to @MFA_China, @AmbassadorZhang and local authorities in #Hubei for the assistance. A very special thanks to our Ambassador in China Ms Azeema and Ambassador in Delhi @aishamdidi and their team. Thank everyone at @MoFAmv for the hard workâ.

    â Abdulla Shahid (@abdulla_shahid) February 2, 2020

    While India has already sent two flights and brought back close to 700 people, including 7 Maldivians, a lot of Pakistani nationals are still stranded in China, running pillar to post, to figure how to go back home as soon as possible, since their country isn't making too many efforts to bring their citizens back home. Indian citizens, on the other hand, are urging the government to help bring back the stranded Pakistanis on a humanitarian level. After External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar put out a tweet about the Maldivians being brought back, a number of people talked about the Pakistanis as well.
    7 Maldivians brought back with 323 Indians from Wuhan on the second @airindiain flight today. #NeighbourhoodFirst at work again. @ibusolih @MohamedNasheed @abdulla_shahid

    â Danny Loyall (@dannijon75) February 2, 2020The government should actually consider these pleas made by the Indians to free their Pakistani brethren. In these troubled times, humanity should come before religion, economic policies or political struggle between the two countries. We should help each other out, in a global health crisis such as this and we hope the government can see through this and aids Pakistan in this issue. We really hope that this crisis is averted and no more casualties occur due to this deadly virus.

    The trailer of Vicky Kaushal's Bhoot: The Haunted Ship dropped today and it has already inspired a line of memes on the internet. However, people arenât finding it scary enough and looks like they are already having a lot of fun turning some of the dialogues from the movie into hilarious memes that are way too relatable.
    The movie stars Vicky Kaushal and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles and is set to hit the theatres on February 21, 2020.
    Watch the movie trailer here:

    However, apparently people didnât find the film scary enough to give them chills but instead they have found this one particular Vicky Kaushal dialogue meme-worthy- âYeh tumahara hallucination hai (this is your hallucination).â
    Hahahha.

    People had a lot of expectations from the movie when the spooky posters came. However, at the moment, the trailer has failed to impress people. This Bhanu Pratap Singh directorial is about a man (Vicky Kaushal) and his paranormal experience at a dead ship.
    The ship is supposed to be empty, but there are ghosts inside and play with their minds instead.
    What do you think of the trailer? Let us know in the comments below.

    Ever since PM Narendra Modi came in power, his most famous and successful initiative has been the 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan'. From Bollywood celebrities, common people to even Bill Gates, everyone has been impressed with the initiative and try to help in maintaining cleanliness around them.
    When the 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan' was launched, all the celebrities came forward to do their bit to keep the society clean and most people thought they're doing it for publicity, but looks like Katrina Kaif is still religiously following it and spreading the idea of cleanliness till date. Either that or she's jumped on the bandwagon really late.

    © Instagram
    While most of us thought that it is Bollywood's OG Khiladi Akshay Kumar, who is most suited to be the brand ambassador of 'Swachch Bharat Abhiyan', and every other government project (as most people joke), turns out it's his co-star katrina Kaif who truly deserves it and this video shared by Akshay Kumar is proof.
    There's a new 'kaamwali bai' in town, guys and it's none other than Katrina Kaif. Akshay Kumar posted a video from the sets of Sooryavanshi where Katrina Kaif is seen sweeping the floors. Akshay even asks, "Arre Katrina Ji what are you doing?" to which she laughs and whacks him with the broom.

    Directed by Rohit Shetty, Sooryavanshi is the third installment from his cop universe and recently, actor Jackie Shroff was also added in the cast. It is expected to release on March 27, 2020.

    Leave it up to Vicky Kaushal and you'll learn some impeccable fashion lessons on how to dress to the T for any kind of occasion. Time and again, he has made a strong fashion statement either with his quirky pair of sneakers or zany ensemble.
    © Viral Bhayani
    Before we get to that, let's quickly talk about his outfit.
    © Salvatore Ferragamo
    Coming to his sneakers, the dual-tone contrast makes the pair look even more outlandish. Vicky is a big fan of adidas but this time, he rather took an unconventional route and upped his sartorial eccentricity with sneakers that have heeled sole. These are Salvatore Ferragamo's Booster sneakers. 
    © Viral Bhayani
    The trend is undeniable and the sole is only getting bigger with more layers and material. Not just Ferragamo, but many other luxury brands like Balenciaga, Dior & Gucci have been defining it.
    Vicky's pair, in particular, is sartorially quite pleasing and it has a futuristic vibe which is unmissable. Keep up the fashion game, Vicky!

    Google Maps is a fantastic app that's used by millions of users across the globe on a daily basis for getting traffic updates in real-time. It tells you when there's congestion due to road work or an accident, puts you on an alternative route and more. It's great.

    But it turns out, it's very easy to trick Google Maps into thinking there's traffic on a particular road and put other drivers on an alternative route. Its real-time data was recently manipulated by a guy to create virtual traffic.

    Performance artist Simon Weckert recently tricked Google Maps by taking a walk with 99 phones. He put them in a cart and pulled them through the streets of Berlin. In case you didn't know, Google relies on the number of Google Maps users in a particular area to judge the traffic.

    So when it noticed that 99 "users" were moving slowly on a particular road slowly, it recognised it as "traffic" and displayed that area of the street with a red line, which tells there's a congestion. You can watch him explain everything in the video below - 

    Weckert also wrote about the experience on his website and discussed how Google Maps has changed the way we look at maps. It was just a prank, but some people may have gotten rerouted because of the "traffic" created by Weckert.
    What Weckert did was funny and alarming at the same time. It's quite problematic if you think about how easy it is to manipulate Google Maps. We really hope Google does something to fix this issue. It won't be long before someone decided to misuse it and create some sort of distraction.

    Puja âThe Cycloneâ Tomar is one of Indiaâs biggest names in the popular MMA promotions in One Championship who has seen a childhood full of hardships, struggles and privation. After losing her father at an early age of seven, Puja had to take up farming in order to take care of her mother and two sisters.
    After she grew a little older, she decided to take up wushu, also known as Chinese Kung Fu, to earn some extra income and as it turned out, Puja was better than the rest of the crowd. She went on to become a five-time Gold medalist at the National Wushu Championship and even represented her country in the Wushu World Championships.

    In 2013, she decided to take her talents to the octagon MMA cage. Having participated in the Super Fight League in New Delhi and winning her first two bouts in first round knockouts, the Uttar Pradesh athlete received an invite to compete in the One Championship and she grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
    However, her transition to a professional MMA fighter wasnât easy with the main thorn in her side being the people of her village. âI come from a small village of Budhana where a lot of people were against my choice of career,â Puja told MensXP.
    âThey used to say âsheâs a girl, she canât go outside, she canât play. What if she breaks her legs? How will she get married?â and they were not happy with me practicing MMA,â she added.
    But it was too late to sway Pujaâs mind. She had already dedicated her life to the craft and there was no looking back for her.

    The Steadfast athlete took her first international trip to Indonesia where she lost to Muay Thai expert Tiffany âNo Chillâ Teo who locked her in an armbar after four minutes into round one. Since then Puja has fought four more bouts at the elite platform and has even picked a win against the local favourite Priscilla Gaol back in January 2019.
    Now a veteran, Tomar has done multiple international tours but she misses homemade food. âWe donât get food like India when I am travelling, and I miss our food whenever I go abroad,â she said.
    Looking back at the inception of her career, Puja believes that India has experienced a massive boom in the popularity of Mixed Martial Arts and more and more athletes are making it to big stages to fight on an international level.

    âWhen I started practicing MMA, it wasnât as famous as it is right now. Even One Championship also has a lot of fighters from the Indian origin. I believe India will grow by leaps and bounds in the octagon cage in the future,â she said.
    If there is a wish that Puja were to be granted, it would be to bring about the kind of recognition and fame Indian cricketers receive to MMA athletes. âI hope we also get the kind of recognition cricketers do. The sponsors and the kind of support they get from the Indian population, I really wish something like that can be seen for us as well. If that happens, MMA Fighters will also grow and make their country proud,â the athlete said.

    Lastly, Puja believes that even though India has come a long way, women in this country continue to face major challenges when it comes to personal safety. In order to deal with such issues, she highly recommends taking up any form of martial arts. âIt is brilliant from the fitness perspective and also for self defence,â Puja further added.

    It's been one hell of a year for Joaquin Phoenix, and the year has only just begun! After his big victory at the Golden Globe Awards for best actor and bagging the Critic's Choice Award, he won a BAFTA for his epic performance in Joker, once more.

    But what the audience looks forward to most, when Phoenix wins an award, is mostly his daring speech he makes at the award ceremony and I feel he outdid himself at the BAFTA award ceremony with his speech, more than what he did at the Golden Globe Awards. And as usual, he used his BAFTA win for a cause.
    Last time if you remember watching the Golden Globe Award ceremony, the actor criticised a lot of his fellow actors for taking their private jets out and flying all the way to Palm Springs. He called them out for doing so, in the context of climate change that's making our planet suffer. His speech at BAFTA, though, was not on climate change but the amount of racism Hollywood displays and how there's a lack of diversity.

    So here are a few things Joaquin said in his speech and brought out the outright racism existing in the industry.
    "The BAFTAS have already been very supportive of my career and Iâm deeply appreciative. But I have to say I also feel conflicted, because so many of my fellow actors that are deserving donât have that same privilege."

    Of late, BAFTA has been in the limelight for being criticised for racism, as only white actors/directors would win awards. The hashtag #BAFTAsowhite was trending on Twitter, claiming the white folks bagged most nominations while others were snubbed.
     âI think that we send a very clear message to people of color that youâre not welcome here. I think thatâs the message that weâre sending to people that have contributed so much to our medium and our industry and in ways that we benefit from.â
    âThis is not a self righteous condemnation, because Iâm ashamed to say that Iâm part of the problem. I have not done everything in my power to ensure that the sets I work on are inclusive. but I think itâs more than just having sets that are multicultural. I think that we have to really do the hard work to truly understand systemic racism,â Phoenix further added in his speech.

    While ending the speech, when the audience was numb in silence listening to him attentively, he said "I think that it is the obligation of the people that have created and perpetuate and benefit from a system of oppression to be the ones that dismantle it, so thatâs on us.â This got the crowd roaring, for his outstanding honesty that he's displayed ever-so-often during award functions. Here's wishing we see more of the superstar this year!

    We are so inspired by Bollywood movies that some of us actually implement the stunts, used in the film, in real life too just for the entertainment sake. Recently, in an appalling incident, a man in Delhi tried to escape the traffic cops by dragging a police constable on his carâs bonnet for two kilometers.
    According to news reports, the traffic cops were checking papers of the vehicle at Nangloi Chowk when the accusedâs car tried to evade them. The police constable indicated the accused to stop the car but he didnât comply. 
    Subsequently, in a bid to stop the alleged traffic violator, the constable had to jump atop the carâs bonnet which didnât prove to be a good decision. 
    This two-month-old video of the terrible incident is currently doing the rounds on the internet and has gone viral.
    Watch the full video here:

    As per the reports, the victimâs name is Sunil and he also got injured during the incident. The traffic cop was just trying to check papers of the vehicle when the man decided to not stop and drag the constable on the car bonnet with him.
    Beside, the co-passenger in the car recorded the entire incident and after accelerating the car for two kilometers, the driver gave a chance to Sunil to get down and then he fled away.
    Most people on social media were anxious after watching the horrific video and posted mixed comments on the same.
    Check out the reaction here:
    This is terrifying.
    Video has been made from inside the car. Give these daredevils a trip to the prison. He has endangered life of a person with intention. He needs to be dealt strictly.
