    AirDrop lets users transfer files amongst two iPhone users or iPhone and MacBook users. It is an exclusive feature of iOS and at the moment and no Android smartphone has been able to effectively replicate it. But that may change soon as Samsung is making a similar feature for their smartphones. 
    According to XDA Developersâ source, a new feature called âQuick Shareâ was spotted and will debut alongside the upcoming Galaxy S20 smartphones. It will work similarly to AirDrop i.e. it will not use cellular or Bluetooth to transfer files. Instead, it will use Bluetooth to create a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi network between connected devices. XDA was able to access the interface of the application and it says that within the app, users can locate nearby Galaxy devices to transfer files. This also suggests that the feature may be exclusive to Galaxy smartphones.

    Quick Share will also have other options for users such as choosing whom you can receive files from i.e. from everyone or from your contacts. The app will also be able to let users save files to the cloud, from where it can later be downloaded locally or streamed to Samsung SmartThings devices. There will be a limit of 1GB per file and a daily limit of 2GB of total cloud storage.

    It is currently not clear whether this feature will be available for older Samsung Galaxy devices, however XDA revealed that its source was using the app on a Galaxy S20 Plus 5G. It could be possible that the new Quick Share feature will roll out for devices that will get the OneUI 2.1 update.

    Samsung is not the only company working on an AirDrop like feature as Google is also rumoured to be working on a similar service called âNearby Sharing.â Googleâs service is rumoured to be released via Google Play Store and may work with almost every Android smartphone. 

    We will get to know more about Quick Share at Samsungâs âUnpackedâ event that is set to take place on February 11.

    Whether you look at the latest flagship phones by Apple, Samsung, Huawei or even Xiaomi, there is one thing common amongst these devices - wireless charging. OnePlus has been avoiding this feature up until now but it looks like the company may just bring that feature for the OnePlus 8 Pro variant.

    â Max J. (@Samsung_News_) January 21, 2020

    A tweet by tipster Max J. Suggests that the upcoming âProâ variant of the OnePlus 8 may come with the new feature. While the tweet didnât really clearly say that the smartphone will come with the feature, it does drop a huge hint that point towards the same. He tweeted a second image of a smartphone being charged by a wireless charging pad that looks somewhat similar to a OnePlus smartphone. Of course, he clears the air in a second tweet by saying that the image is just a concept image for illustration purposes. There have been previous rumours that suggested OnePlus would bring wireless charging to one of the models but nothing concrete has confirmed the information yet.

    If the feature does make its way to a OnePlus smartphone this year, it would truly be the complete flagship smartphone OnePlus has been striving for. OnePlus has avoided wireless charging as it prefers the faster wired charging that comes in the form of warp charge which charges the OnePlus 7 and 7T series at 30W. Having said that, there is nothing preventing OnePlus from implementing both features apart from the obvious rise in cost. This also means that if wireless charging is a major feature on the next OnePlus phone, you can expect the price to be higher than 2019âs OnePlus Pro smartphones.

    Of course, it is obvious that none of this is confirmed information and is purely based on speculation. We advise you to take this with a pinch of salt until OnePlus makes it official closer to launch of the next smartphone.

    After Uri's release in 2019, Vicky Kaushal  had taken a brief break in 2019. But, now that he's back in the game, filming for Karan Johar's Takht wherein he'll be acting alongside Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Anil Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Alia Bhatt and Janhvi Kapoor, we'll be seeing more of his public appearances. 

    For example, recently Vicky Kaushal wore waffle sneakers that had people wondering if the silhouette design was inspired by real waffles.

    © Instagram/Manav Manglani
    Vicky Kaushal's signature style however, can be defined as accessible and something that most of us can recreate in our everyday lives. This is courtesy of his stylist Amandeep Kaur.

    Recently, while hanging out with Katrina Kaif, he was spotted wearing a black sweatshirt with orange neon stripes, but to complete the outfit, he added bright orange sneakers. Take a look here:

    © Instagram/Manav Manglani
    Vicky is wearing Adidas Ozweego in a vibrant orange colour. Shades of Adidas Ozweego line are chosen in a way so that the final silhouette looks rather compelling. These sneakers have a bright tangerine mesh base and suede overlays. There are small creamsicle coloured strips on the woven.

    © Instagram/Manav Manglani
    These re-worked Adidas originals are available in India now for Rs 10,999, which, if you think about, isn't a bad price for an Adidas silhouette. This, however, isn't the first time Vicky has worn this sneaker.

    But, clearly, this outfit does look like it's right out of a candy store.

    Imagine thinking that people just don't like you because no one has reached out to you in months, but then finding out it's because everyone thinks you're actually dead. Yeah, this is a weird situation but, it also happened for real for 75-year-old Alan Hattel.
    The poor guy got so concerned that no one had called him in three-four months, only to discover his own grave. Yes, it's getting weirder. Talk about being buried alive.

    © Paul Reid
    The retired welder from Forfar, Tayside in Scotland said, "My phone hasnât rung for three or four months. Iâve been confused by it all but now I know why nobody has been calling. I donât even want to be buried â I plan to be cremated."
    Well, what's the perfect way to announce that you're actually alive? Posing dramatically alongside your grave, of course.

    © Paul Reid
    I'm a little upset he didn't use this rare chance to just mess with people by claiming how he died but came back to life. That would be hilarious.

    But, the main question is why would there be a gravestone with his name on it when he's clearly not in the grave. Well, according to him, it seems like the doing of his ex-wife.

    © Paul Reid
    He said, "Iâve never, ever said I wanted to be buried alongside my ex-wife. Weâve been separated 26 years and thereâs no animosity but Iâm struggling to take it all in. To find out you have a gravestone in a cemetery while you are still alive isnât something that happens every day."

    There's only one explanation-  
    When your ex really really doesn't like you ....https://t.co/AJEyB5Iy3S
    â Brad Pridgeon (@bpridgeo) January 23, 2020    Well, at least he already has a headstone and everything when his time actually comes if he changes his mind about getting cremated.

    India is the land of affordable internet. In fact, it has the cheapest data plans in the world. However, India being a developing nation, it still isnât accessible to everyone which means there is room for even more affordable prices. Thatâs exactly what Bengaluru based startup Wi-Fi Dabba is offering for users in the city. The startup wants to offer âreliable and affordable servicesâ via network points called supernodes. These supernodes are being installed across high-rise buildings and towers to increase their coverage area for everyone. 
    © WifiDabba
    The company is now offering its users 1GB of data for Re 1 which is almost 360% cheaper than Jioâs most affordable plan. It is worthy to note this is a Wi-Fi only service and not a mobile data plan users can avail on their phones. The Wi-Fi points, however, are present everywhere as the company has installed it at shops and other inaccessible areas. Users can simply connect to the network and start using the internet for Rs 1. If users are not registered, they can do so by connecting to the network and registering an account. Additionally, users can also purchase tokens locally if they do not prefer digital payments. 

    Wi-Fi Dabba uses a different technology instead of traditional wired connections as it transmits data via a grid of supernodes. These are essentially eye-safe lasers that basically form a mesh system and transmit data to users. Due to the supernode technology, Wi-Fi Dabba has been able to keep its costs low as no fibre wiring is involved.

    The service is currently only available in Bengaluru and if you are interested in using their service, you can sign up on their website here.

    In 2019, the Kerala government had announced that it'll make the entire state, especially its tourist destinations, disabled-friendly by 2021. A program started by Kerala's tourism's Barrier-Free Tourism Project has now received global recognition as the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) made a special mention about Kerala for the Emerging Global Destination in the Accessible Destination Awards 2019. 
    © Twitter
    Well, the special mention was in place for Kerala being the first to work as per the UNWTO guidelines for making tourist destinations disabled-friendly and we surely do need these places in numbers, across the country. The recognition though was for the implementation of the project in Thrissur, which is India's first disabled-friendly destination to win the honour.

    The award is given by the World Tourism Organization and ONCE Foundation that works for people with disabilities. The awards at the Spanish capital were given away as part of FITUR Trade Fair, which is a meeting point for tourism professionals the world over and is the second-biggest global gathering of travel and tourism professionals. 
    In March last year, Kerala introduced the barrier-free project in order to make at least 120 destinations within the state disabled-friendly. In October, Kerala Tourism Minister Kadakampally Surendran had said that 98 destinations out of the 120 tourist spots across the state which were identified for the first phase have already been made completely disabled-friendly. Thrissur was amongst the first only because it's the cultural capital of Kerala, one of the first few destinations in the state, to create the complete infrastructure in all its destinations like Azhikode and Snehatheeram, the hill destination of Vilangankunnu and the scenic dams in Poomala and Vazhani.  
    © Twitter
    The upcoming project include Chavakkad Beach, Peechi and Thumboormuzhi. The facilities include ramps, accessible toilets, lactation rooms, Braille pamphlets, signage, touch-screen kiosks, audio and sign aids, wheelchairs and walking aids. They have been made available in major tourist destinations in the district. 

    Hailing the achievement, Kerala Tourism Minister Shri Kadakampally Surendran said, âWe deserve this honour. It will enhance Keralaâs reputation as a global tourist destination.â 

    While Kerala tourism is working towards making all its tourist destinations travel friendly for disabled people, we only hope more states in India come forward and implement progressive and infrastructural and viable structures for the differently-abled. This is a great project initiated by Kerala and we hope by 2021 the entire state caters to disabled people through its tourism.

    We all know the ABC that rules the zeitgeist of Indiaâs pop-culture wherein A stands for Astrology, B for Bollywood and C for cricket. Just take a look at any entertainment daily and their page 3 and youâll get an idea of how ardently we look at celebrities from the film fraternity and their personal lives.
    © Instagram/virat.kohli
    Even with cricketers, most of us have a keen interest in their shenanigans (or lack thereof) off the field, over their stellar performances on it. Be it their lavish lifestyle, who theyâre dating and what their opinion is on serious political matters, we as a society look up to or towards them in one way or the other.
    © Instagram/hardikpandya93
    Speaking about the lavish lifestyles that some of our cricketers lead, we couldnât help but notice how like most men, they too love to splurge their hard-earned cash on some common toys that men and boys envy - cars, watches and bikes, primarily.

    Here are some of the most ridiculously expensive watches that we have seen some of our cricketers wear, when they were out and about in the public.
    1. Krunal Pandya © Instagram/krunalpandya_official
    As much as a fashion icon his younger brother Hardik is, Krunal does not actually lag behind when it comes to style. Agreed that it isnât as egregiously good as Hardikâs, Krunal still has managed to turn our heads on more than one occasion. He has often been spotted donning a rather dope Rolex, particularly the Cosmograph Daytona Rainbow Yellow Gold Oyster. The price? Well, it reportedly retails for Rs. 89.90 lakh.
    2. MS Dhoni © Twitter/panerai
    Being the brand ambassador of a major luxury watchmaker, is it a surprise that âCaptain Coolâ is on the list? A de facto horologist, even before he broke on to the cricketing scene, he has often been spotted wearing a rather suave Panerai Radiomir California worth Rs. 9.25 lakh. And just like the man himself, we have to say, the watch itself is rather cool.
    3. Umesh Yadav © Instagram/umeshyaadav
    The right-arm fast bowler may not be a fashion icon as such, but he clearly knows his watches. Umesh Yadav is a fan of chunky big machined watches and is also known for his love of big chunky chronographs. Even while playing on the field, he has often been spotted wearing the Graham Silverstone Stowe 500 Blue Flyback, which retails for just over Rs. 11.00 lakh.
    4. KL Rahul © Instagram/rahulkl
    Another fashion icon that is currently a part of the Indian cricketing pantheon, KL Rahul actually has a zany sense of style. Just take a look at our cover story with him, and youâll get an idea of what weâre on about. From some really dapper sneakers to a zany, Pokemon inspired Fendi fanny pack, he has done it all. From the rather impressive collection of watches that he has, we particularly are in awe of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 37 that we have seen him wear time and again. The retail price for the watch? Just under Rs. 13.25 lakh.
    5. Jasprit Bumrah © Instagram/jaspritb1
    One of those cricketers who arenât exactly known for his sartorial choices, Jasprit Bumrah actually has a sick collection of watches, one that would definitely pique the interest of your average horologist and watch enthusiasts. Here, he is seen wearing an all-time classic, and a rather coveted piece from Rolex, the Daytona Chrono, worth over Rs. 25.70 lakh.
    6. Harbhajan Singh © Instagram/harbhajan3
    Ever since his retirement from all forms of cricket, it seems Harbhajan is becoming a full-blown, bona fide fashion icon, all thanks to the countless gigs he has signed up for as a commentator. Just like the suave and understated manner in which he dresses himself, his watches too have a suave appeal. Here, he is wearing a rather sick Hublot, particularly, the Classic Fusion Orlinski Green which retails for Rs. 16.00 lakh.
    7. Hardik Pandya © Instagram/hardikpandya93
    Well, you saw this coming. There was no way that we would leave Hardik out of this list. Say what you will about Hardik, he surely knows how to pick his timepieces and boy, does he have an impressive collection. Of course, he has all the usual suspects that a horologist with a bucket ton of money would have - Rolexes, Hublots, Panerais, Rados, Omegas et al. But what has caught everyoneâs fancy is the rather simplistic, yet zany Patek Phillipe Nautilus 5980/1R that he wore when he was admitted in a hospital. Now, some people estimate that the watch is worth Rs. 80.00 lakh, but there have been instances, where they have actually been sold for as high as Rs. 1.25 crore. Now thatâs something, right?

    2019 marked a fantastic boom in Indian publishing, especially for non-fiction titles - several publishers reported great renewed interest as the Indian readerâs curiosity kept bringing them back to bookshelves time and time again. Several gifted authors also produced works of merit that received widespread national and international acclaim - here are some of the very best we saw across 2019.
    The Absent Dialogue: Politicians, Bureaucrats, and the Military in India - Amit Mukherjee © Oxford University Press/Brookings Institution
    Informed by more than a hundred and fifty interviews and recently available archival material, The Absent Dialogue sheds new light on India's military and will reshape our understanding of both the history and contemporary dynamics of civil-military relations and recurring problems therein. A must-read for anyone curious about the state of our military bureaucracy today, and how it came to be.

    How to Win an Indian Election: What Political Parties Don't Want You to Know - Shivam Shankar Singh © Twitter/Penguin India
    Singh was a campaign strategist for the BJP in 2014. After he resigned, he publicly spoke about how they deal in fake news and censorship, creating quite the uproar in 2018. His book reveals an inside view of just how political parties use data analytics, political consultants and what goes on in the forbidden election war-rooms of Indiaâs political heavyweights. The book is invaluable for its extensively researched content, personal anecdotes and exclusive interviews.

    Wasted: The Messy Story of Sanitation in India, A Manifesto for Change - Ankur Bisen © Pan MacMillian India/Twitter
    Urban India generates close to 3 million trucks of untreated garbage every day. If these were laid end-to-end, one could reach half way to the moon - but just how did we get so dirty? Questions such as these, and a deep exploration of Indiaâs most obvious everyday problem present themselves in Wasted. Bisen aims to help people understand the complex, cast-driven dynamics behind sanitation and the invisible socio-political pressures that keep us from being a true âSwacch Bharatâ. A must read for those interested in policy, civil planning and the environment.

    The Patient Assassin - Anita Anand © Simon & Schuster/Sukhi Dhanda
    The dramatic true story of Udham Singh, a young orphan survivor of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919, and his ferocious 20-year campaign of revenge that made him a hero to hundreds of millions. Anandâs book is voraciously researched and reads much like a dramatic thriller - taking us through a long journey from the blood-soaked earth of Amritsar to Africa, the United States and finally to London, where Singh finally finds his target.

    ISRO's Magnificent Women and Their Flying Machines - Minnie Vaid ©Twitter/Speaking Tiger
    Through a combination of Bollywood and the recent public interest upsurge in ISRO, many of us came to know that a huge part of Indiaâs space programme is frontlined by women. Vaidâs book helps draw light towards the challenges and triumphs experienced by ISROâs female scientists. Itâs also been recently updated to include a bit about the 2019 Chandrayaan-2 mission, and a bit of speculation about the future of ISRO and careers in science for Indiaâs women.

    Straight to Normal - Sharif D. Rangnekar © Twitter/Rupa Publications
    One of the most honest, gritty and upfront autobiographies written by an Indian in recent years, Rangnekarâs story takes us through the 1970s to the modern LGBT revolution in India, charting a course through years of confusion, fear, depression and ultimately self-discovery and acceptance. Itâs a work written in deep retrospection and has been described in the authorâs own words as the story of âgaining an identity but losing a near lifetime, looking for love and companionship.â

    Behind Bars In Byculla: My Days In Prison - Jigna Vora © Twitter/Penguin India
    One of the most fascinating premises for any true story, Behind Bars In Byculla charts crime reporter Jigna Voraâs journey as a jailed suspect in connection to the underworld elites of Bombay. Covering seven years of jail time, courtroom sessions and her final days before acquittal, Voraâs story is incredibly fascinating. Particularly interesting are the interviews and conversations she had as a crime reporter behind bars, crossing paths with fallen socialites, gambling donnas and even Pragya Thakur.

    For someone who has not been seen in Team India colours in over six months, Mahendra Singh Dhoni continues to grab headlines and remains a topic of great discussion amongst cricket fans in the country. The Jharkhand born cricketer hasn't featured for India ever since their ouster from the 2019 World Cup at the hands of New Zealand in the semifinals.
    With the Indian selectors already looking beyond Dhoni and, therefore, grooming young Rishabh Pant as his potential successor, speculations have been rife over Dhoni's fall from grace with the national team. More recently, the 38-year-old's illustrious career was dealt with a major blow after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) omitted him from their list of central contracts for 2019-20 season.
    © Reuters
    While many slammed the Indian cricket board for their noticeable omission, others lamented it as the final nail in the coffin of Dhoni's international career. But, as everyone continues to wonder if they'll ever see the 'Captain Cool' donning the iconic blue jersey again, Dhoni remains unperturbed by the speculations and social media chatter.
    Making the most of his time away from the field, Dhoni was recently in attendance at the inaugural of new facilities at the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) stadium in Ranchi. The Indian wicket-keeper was invited by Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren as the two inaugurated the solar power system, a state-of-the-art gymnasium, 'C3 Fitness Club', and 'The Uptown Cafe' at the JSCA stadium.

    Apart from carrying on the chores as the special guest, Dhoni, during his time at the event, was seen in his usual jolly mood and even went on to try his hands at whistling by using spring onion leaves. His attempt left the Jharkhand CM in splits and cricket fans lauding his unique talent on social media.
    "I hope the glory of the state spreads not only in the country but also to the entire world under his able leadership. I would like to tell the players to practise properly. Play Ranji matches and also represent India," Dhoni said at the event.
    Jharkhand: Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Mahendra Singh Dhoni at an event at JSCA Stadium in Ranchi. pic.twitter.com/fHO0qAirnk
    â ANI (@ANI) January 22, 2020

    "I am happy today to get the opportunity to inaugurate the facilities as chief minister. The foundation of the stadium was laid by Guruji (father Shibu Soren). This stadium is an example of the result of the work started by Guruji. On this occasion, I promise you to develop the state in the same way," Jharkhand CM Soren said.
    On the cricketing front, while Virat Kohli & co are busy preparing for the 1st T20I against New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland on 24th January, Dhoni has been seen training with the Ranchi Ranji Trophy team lately. Despite missing out on a central contract, Dhoni can secure his Team India spot for the T20 World Cup this October on the back of consistent performances in domestic cricket and the upcoming IPL 2020.

    Ever since winning the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017, the Pakistan cricket team has struggled to make their presence felt at major tournaments. The fact that they are currently ranked sixth in ODIs and seventh in Tests highlights a difficult phase Pakistan cricket is going through at the moment.
    Their frailties were also in full display during the ICC World Cup in 2019. The Sarfaraz Ahmed-led brigade paid a heavy price for a slow start to their World Cup campaign, winning just one of their first five matches. They eventually ended up on the fifth spot in the standings, not good enough to march into the semifinals stage.
    Following their dismal World Cup outing, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been busy forcing a major overhaul in the national team. From axing Mickey Arthur as coach to changing the captaincy, the PCB appears to be doing whatever it takes to help the team prepare better for future assignments.
    © Reuters
    While the past couple of years might have been troublesome for Pakistan and equally disappointing for their fans, the rise of Babar Azam has undeniably been one much-needed silver lining as they continue to rebuild the side. While the majority of the players have been in and out of the team, young Azam remains a key and consistent ingredient in Pakistan's line-up.
    A top-order batsman, known for his discipline and level-headed attitude, Azam has been busy raking in runs across all three formats of the game in recent times. Even at the World Cup last year, while his fellow teammates struggled to aid their side, Azam was not only at his prolific best but ended up breaking Javed Miandad's 27-year-old record to become Pakistan's highest run-scorer in a single edition of the tournament.
    It was his artistry with the willow and temperament of a champion cricketer over the past couple of years that recently earned him Pakistan's captaincy in the shortest format. But, just like other cricketers, Azam's journey to becoming Pakistan's best modern-day batsman was full of struggles. 
    © Reuters
    In an interview with the PCB's official website, Azam spoke about his rise on the international circuit and revealed the struggles he overcame early in his career. âIt seems like yesterday when I walked every day for almost three miles to get to the Gaddafi Stadium and work as a ball-boy for the 2007 second Test between Pakistan and South Africa,â Azam said.
    The 25-year-old also named several stalwarts of the game who helped him in reaching the pinnacle of the sport. âIt was the love for the game and the attraction of some of the stalwarts like Inzamam-ul-Haq, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Misbah-ul-Haq, Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis and Dale Steyn that pulled me to the home of Pakistan cricket without caring for anything else," he added.
    Highlighting the influence of Test cricket in his career, Azam said, "For me, it was the incentive of being closer to Test cricket and legends of the game. Pats on the back and smiles from the Test players during the match were my ultimate rewards. For any youngster, it is certainly a once in a lifetime experience".
    © Reuters
    Just like Virat Kohli, Azam, too, owes his success to the passion he has towards the gentleman's game. âI think it was that passion, combined with a bid of cricket madness and stroke of luck that has helped me to become who I am today. I have been very fortunate that in this journey, people have held my hand, coached and mentored me, and always stood beside me in my good and bad days. I owe all my success to all those unsung heroes and now it is my responsibility to continue to strive for excellence so that I can match the expectations, both as a player and captain," he claimed.
    Making his debut in 2016, Azam has surely come a long way in becoming the no. 1 batsman in T20I and occupy the third spot in ICC rankings for ODIs.
    Also, on January 24, the right-hander will lead Pakistan in the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh at the Gaddafi stadium, a venue where he served as a ball boy thirteen years ago.

    Ratan Tata is all of 82 years old. So, for him, social media is clearly a whole new world to explore. But clearly, it didn't take long for someone like him to figure out how to break the internet. So when he joined Instagram in October last year, he admitted that he doesn't know a thing about breaking the internet but was excited to share more of his life on the digital platform. 

    I donât know about breaking the internet, but I am so excited to join all of you on Instagram (ratantata)! After a long absence from public life, I look forward to exchanging stories and creating something special with such a diverse community! pic.twitter.com/Cq8TFXnFmN
    â Ratan N. Tata (@RNTata2000) October 30, 2019
    Post this, his Instagram page was filled with personal anecdotes and some of his achievements over the years that were close to his heart and even pictures of adorable animals. But recently, he dropped a #ThrowbackThursday picture. Take a look here:

    View this post on InstagramI was going to post this yesterday, but I was then told about âthrowbacksâ and how they occur on Thursdays. So here is a throwback from my days in LA, not long before I happily returned to India. #throwbackthursdayA post shared by (@ratantata)

    This is a picture of a much younger Ratan Tata. He posted the picture with the caption, "I was going to post this yesterday, but I was then told about throwbacks and how they occur on Thursdays. So here is a throwback from my days in LA, not long before I happily returned to India. #throwbackthursday."

    What we also notice here is how young Mr.Tata cleaned up well even when he was young. This is an acquired habit that has only become more pronounced with age. This also says a lot about how grooming can really turn around a person's personality.

    But, people on the internet could hardly believe that it was him, and reactions like these started pouring in:

    1. People are comparing him to his contemporaries.

    The heartthrob of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan has donned many avatars in his movies over the years, however, the one role noticeably missing from his repertoire is that of a cop.

    At a recent event, Umang: A Mumbai Police Welfare Fund's Initiative, Hrithik expressed his desire to someday, essay the role of a police officer.
    Acknowledging the efforts of the Mumbai Police, the War star said, "Mumbai is one of the best cities to live in and it is because of the Mumbai police force. I couldn't make it to Umang 2019 last year but this year I made sure that I come here. I am feeling wonderful performing at a stage for all the policemen who work for us day and night and keep us safe."

    He also said that the role of a cop is one that he has been wanted to play for a long time.
    "In my entire life, I have essayed all kinds of roles. However, I haven't got a chance to play the character of a policeman. I would urge the filmmakers to write a police officer's role for me because that will be the most challenging role of my life. I am sure I will make it the best role of my life," he added. 
    Don't know about you guys, but we think Hrithik, as a badass cop, beating the crap out of goons and criminals will be a sight to behold. Well, it this happens, looks like our beloved Singham and Simbaa will have some tough competition.

    The New Zealand cricket team was upstaged in their own backyard by a marauding Indian brigade last year. Travelling to New Zealand for an ODI and T20I series, the 'Men in Blue' left the hosts red-faced with a fine performance overseas. The Indian team killed the contest following three consecutive wins in the five-match ODI series before romping to a 4-1 triumph. And, then, despite some resistance from the hosts, secured a 1-1 draw in the T20I series.
    Undone at home, the Kiwis, months later, managed to exact their revenge in a stage and at a competition that mattered the most. Taking on one of the tournament's favourites India, the Kiwis sent the 'Men in Blue' packing and their cricket-crazy fans into a state of mourning following an 18-run triumph in the crucial semifinals.

    Contrary to the popular perception, Kohli believes that New Zealand is filled with such nice cricketers that India will never be able to think of revenge against them. The Delhi lad further revealed that Team India was actually happy to see Williamson and his teammates secure their berth for the World Cup final.

    "Even if you want to think of revenge these guys are so nice that you can't get into that zone. It's all about being competitive on the field. They are one side that has set the right example for teams to carry themselves on the international stage. We were actually happy for them when they qualified for the World Cup finals. When you have lost you have to look at the larger picture. So nothing about revenge," Kohli revealed, while addressing reporters at the eve of 1st T20I at Eden Park.

    Rajkummar Rao is the man of the hour. He gave us some impeccable movies in 2019 and he is on a roll, we would say. It's not just his powerhouse acting that we relate to but we admire his sartorial game as well.

    Apart from being fashion-forward, Rajkummar is also a low-key sneakerhead. Be it his bubble sneakers or translucent boots, his shoes instantly ramp up his debonair.

    Off late, we've been seeing a lot of people reading the Preamble to the Indian Constitution at protests, citing the amendments and rights we have as Indian citizens, to make a point. Makes us wonder why we need to read the Preamble to the Indian Constitution only in times of severe unrest and not know or remember it, offhand for life? 

    While the entire country is going through a form of civil unrest, with protests erupting in different parts of Indian states, we have a rather unique way of instilling faith in children about the Indian Constitution. Unique only because when we were in school, we were only made aware of the Preamble through our civics textbooks. What am I talking about here?

    Well, the Maharashtra government has ordered school children from across the state to recite The Preamble to the Indian Constitution, during their morning assemblies from January 26th, 2020, according to a report by NDTV. The announcement was made by Varsha Gaikwad, a Congress MLA and theSchool Education Minister.

    âStudents will recite the Preamble to the Constitution every day after morning prayers so that they understand its importance. It is an old government resolution, but we will implement it from January 26,â Gaikwad said in a press conference.

    Reading The Preamble to the Indian Constitution every day during morning assembly is part of the âsovereignty of Constitution, welfare of allâ campaign. While we think the campaign is overstressing children on daily duties, while they can learn about the Indian Constitution in their classrooms, we also feel it's important they know it by heart so they're aware of their constitutional rights, at any given time. Earlier, a government resolution in this regard was adopted in February 2013, when the Congress-Nationalist, Congress Party government was in power. The current government though is an alliance between the Shiv Sena, The Congress Party and the Nationalist Congress Party. The move was first thought of in 2009 and it's now going to be a part of familiarising children with the  Indian constitution.

    If a child reads Preamble every day and takes oath, he understands that he is a citizen of India. Similarly, he should understand the things laid down by the Constitution and learn those values.â Gaikwad said in an interview with ANI.

    Well, it's a good practice to follow suit if you really want to understand the Preamble to the Indian Constitution. Learning it from a younger age makes the reality a lot clearer than what some governments try and tell you otherwise. 
    We hope the students of these schools really stand up for their rights in the future, if and when they're ever questioned!

    Cricketing legends Virender Sehwag and Shoaib Akhtar canât seem to get over their India-Pakistan rivalry despite having faced each other on the field years ago. 
    Talking about the former Pakistani pacer appreciating the Indian cricket teamâs effort during the last few years, Sehwag said the following during an event in 2016: "Shoaib Akhtar's become a good friend of ours as he needs business in India so he has to praise us. If you look at any Shoaib Akhtar interview, you'll notice he's saying so many things in praise of India which he would not have said in his playing days."

    Addressing Sehwagâs comments from over three and a half years ago, Akhtar said: âI have more maal (money) than you have baal (hair) on your head.â
    âIf you are not able to fathom that I have such high followers, then understand it. It has taken me 15 years to become Shoaib Akhtar. Yes, I have a huge fan following in India, but I criticised them when they did not play well in the first ODI against Australia," he said on his YouTube channel. 
    "Just tell me one Pakistan YouTuber who does not praise India when their team does well. Ramiz Raja, Shahid Afridi all praise Indian side when they do well. Tell me one thing, isn't it right that the Men in Blue are in fact the number one side in the world, isn't it right that Kohli is the number one batsman in the world," Akhtar said.

    "I do not understand what is the problem people have when I am giving my opinion on matters related to cricket. I have played for Pakistan for 15 years, I am not famous for just doing the YouTube thing. I was the fastest bowler in the world," he added.
    On January 29, 2020, Akhtar will complete one year since he began his YouTube channel and is well on his way to having over two million subscribers by February end. In his videos, the âRawalpindi Expressâ shares his opinion on the happenings all around the cricketing world. 
    However, the videos of him talking about India and the Men in Blue have significantly more views than the rest of his videos. 
    On numerous occasions in the past Sehwag and Akhtar have said that they have become good friends ever since moving away from their cricketing careers and have had multiple conversations debating and sharing their thoughts of various games as well.
