    All the Samsung fanboys out there are probably waiting for the big announcement to see the next phone in the highly anticipated Galaxy S series. The company has been updating this line up for 10 years now, so let's just say it's something that we all are looking forward to.
    But it looks like Samsung has some different plans this year. The company appears to be re-branding the series and the new name is said to be Galaxy S20. The same has been confirmed through a series of leaked images showing the phone. The images were obtained by the folks over at XDA Developers. Here, take a look at it yourself -
    S20+ 5G looks absolutely insane pic.twitter.com/0vppZ65wys
    — Max Weinbach (@MaxWinebach) January 12, 2020 As you can see, the phone's startup screen confirms the name. Why did they change the name? Well, nobody knows that for now. Perhaps they are naming by year now? Anyway, we can also see a punch hole on the front for the selfie camera, which is similar to the Galaxy Note 10. The phone seen in the image is a Galaxy S20+ 5G, so it's the larger variant.
    If XDA's source is something to go by, then it looks like we'll be getting more than a few variants this year.
    Samsung Galaxy S20
    Samsung Galaxy S20 5G
    Samsung Galaxy S20+
    Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G
    Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G
    — Max Weinbach (@MaxWinebach) January 12, 2020 On the back, we can see the large camera array that's rumored to include a regular wide angle lens, an ultra-wide angle lens, portrait, and even a macro lens. It's funny how the sticker at the back specifically says "Do Not Leak Info".
    For those of you who are interested, Samsung will be unveiling all the phone at its Unpacked event on February 11. We'll definitely be bringing you all the updates from the event, so stay tuned.

    A 25-year-old Sanju Samson may have over 3000 T20 runs under his belt but just two international appearances. Having played his very first match for the Indian cricket team all the way back in 2015 in Harare, Zimbabwe, the cricketer got his second and seemingly last chance in the time to come, to don the blue kit on Friday, January 10, 2020.
    Sanju Samson finally gets to play his second T20I; his first came in 2015.

    Three changes for India, while Angelo Mathews and Lakshan Sandakan are back in Sri Lanka's XI https://t.co/vYyCfFtg1i #INDvSL pic.twitter.com/fU1zLKE02O
    — ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) January 10, 2020 This atypically long gap between two international matches made Samson the owner of an unwarranted record for most T20Is missed between two appearances. By the looks of it, Samson's misfortunes as a Man in Blue continue to haunt him as the team has decided to drop him yet again ahead of the five T20Is to be played against New Zealand on foreign soil.
    India's T20I squad for NZ tour announced: Virat Kohli (C), Rohit Sharma (VC), KL Rahul, S Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant (WK), Shivam Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, W Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Navdeep Saini, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur
    — BCCI (@BCCI) January 12, 2020 Emotions were flowing at full strength during the third and final T20I between India and Sri Lanka when Samson was promoted to bat one-down in the batting order by skipper Virat Kohli. There was a feeling of desperation in Samson's eyes when he approached the pitch. He wanted to show the world that he belonged on the ground, he wanted to show the world that he was good enough.
    The first ball that he faced, the Trivandrum favourite smashed the delivery for a maximum but the second delivery by Wanindu Hasaranga trapped him with a clear LBW and that was it for the glorious return of the wicket-keeper batsman.

    — Akshay Batra (@theakshaybatra) January 10, 2020 “With time and experience I have come to realise that I need to have a very clear head and a balanced state of mind,” Samson had told me back in November, 2019 but at that moment, his mind was pacing and his face gave away the frustration like a bad poker player.
    Was this how his international career had to end? Will he be remembered as nothing but a tiny spec of dust in the vast history that Indian cricket boasts? “What was that cricketer's name who had a lot of potential but never made it big,” is this how the future generations were going to address the man?
    It's actually little unfair on Sanju Samson, he didn't do anything wrong. The only opportunity he got after 4 years in which he had to go from very first ball! They should've selected him for 5 long T20Is against New Zealand.#SanaWorldWide #SanjuSamson # pic.twitter.com/3kAyu48IXw
    — Rahul Nath (@Rntk____) January 12, 2020 Even though age is on his side and the fact that he will continue to earn a ton of money given his brilliance in domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League, there is not a bigger honour for an athlete to represent their nation but by the looks of it, Samson might not receive that honour anytime soon.

    Tennis queen Maria Sharapova on Sunday shared a picture of UK's Queen Elizabeth driving a car, saying that it made her smile.
    Taking to Instagram, the five-time grand slam winner wrote that the picture prompted her to tell her grandmother that "it's never too late to get that drivers' license".   
    "This made me smile. It also made me call my grandmother and tell her it's never too late to get that driver's license," Sharapova wrote on the picture that she shared to her Instagram stories.
    The Russian tennis star is currently dating British millionaire Alexander Gilkes, who is known as New York’s best-connected Briton. His ex-wife is also a friend of Meghan Markle.  
    According to reports, Gilkes is understood to have become friends with Prince William when they were both at Eton and is also said to be close to Prince Harry, who also went to the same school. He was also a guest at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.
    Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle recently dropped a bombshell on the royal family with the announcement that they were quitting from their royal duties.
    The news not only caught the royal family by surprise, it also had the world talking about the couple's decision.
    The latest development even elicited comments from the world's most powerful man, US President Donald Trump.

    FAISALABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan's mission to woo the Muttahida Quami Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) will prove fruitless, said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) stalwart Rana Sanaullah on Sunday. 
    The former Punjab law minister was addressing a rally when he made the statement. He cautioned the MQM-P from reverting to the coalition government, saying that if it does, the party "will go back" on its stance. 
    He said the government did not have any policy hence it was not possible for them to mend fences with any party.
    Sanaullah's comments came a few hours after the MQM-P's Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, resigned. Siddiqui cited the government's inability to fulfill promises made to the MQM-P as the reason for parting ways with the federal cabinet.
     Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui resigns from federal ministry "We had promised the government to help with the formation of the government and we held our end of the deal. However, none of the promises made to us have seen any progress,” Siddiqui said while addressing a press conference in Karachi along with senior Muttahida Quami Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leaders in Karachi.
    “It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to remain a part of the federal cabinet as questions are being raised upon my presence in the cabinet,” he explained.
    Speaking about the agreement with the government, the MQM-P convener told the media that two agreements were made with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), one in Bani Gala, the other in the Bahadurabad, in the presence of Jahangir Tareen.
    Siddiqui said that they [MQM-P] had supported the federal government in every difficult phase but "injustice was still being done with Sindh".
    In response to a question regarding the ending of its alliance with the government, Siddiqui said, “We did not ask for the law ministry neither did we propose Farogh Naseem’s name. The two names that we had proposed for the ministry did not include [Farogh] Naseem’s name. The government had selected his [Farogh Naseem] name on its own.”
    Siddiqui denied that his decision had anything to do with the recent proposal of provincial ministries by Pakistan Peoples Party Chairperson (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Siddiqui in exchange for MQM-P's help in toppling the government.
    “This has nothing to do with PPP’s offer,” Siddiqui said.

    BAGHDAD/SAMARRA: A volley of rockets slammed into an Iraqi airbase north of Baghdad where US forces have been based, wounding four local troops, the Iraqi military said on Sunday.
    Its statement said eight Katyusha-type rockets landed on Al-Balad airbase, wounding two Iraqi officers and two airmen.
    Al-Balad is the main airbase for Iraq's F-16s, which it bought from the US to upgrade its air capacities.
    The base had held a small US Air Force contingent as well as American contractors, but a majority had been evacuated following tensions between the US and Iran over the past two weeks, military sources told AFP.

    "About 90 percent of the US advisers, and employees of Sallyport and Lockheed Martin who are specialised in aircraft maintenance, have withdrawn to Taji and Erbil after threats," one of the sources said.
    "There are no more than 15 US soldiers and a single plane at al-Balad," the source added.
    Military bases hosting US troops have been subject to volleys of rocket and mortar attacks in recent months that have mostly wounded Iraqi forces but also killed one American contractor last month.
    That death set off a series of dramatic developments, with the US carrying out strikes against a pro-Iran paramilitary group in Iraq as well as a convoy carrying top Iranian and Iraqi commanders outside Baghdad airport.

    Pro-Iran factions in Iraq have vowed revenge for those raids, even as Iran said it had already responded in "proportion" by striking another western airbase where US soldiers are located.
    Rocket attacks against Baghdad's high-security Green Zone, where the US and other embassies are based alongside international troops, are still taking place.

    Federica Brignone. Photo: AFPALTENlMARKT, Austria: Italian specialist Federica Brignone clung on in the slalom run to win the World Cup combined event in Austria on Sunday having romped the Super-G run that took out a third of the field.
    In overcast conditions on a tight, challenging first run American superstar Mikaela Shiffrin, her key rival Petra Vhlova and 14 other competitors failed to complete the treacherous first run.
    Shiffrin pulled out of the ultra-fast and fog-blighted downhill on the same daunting Kälberloch slope on Saturday, making Sunday´s Super-G her first ever run in Altenmarkt.
    This was Brignone´s third combined win on the World Cup circuit and it firms up a good run of form that has lifted her to second in the overall World Cup standings.
    "That last part of the course is really difficult because you just can´t allow yourself to go too fast due to how technical it is, this was a tactical win," said Brignone on 565pts, 52 ahead of Vlhova but 261 behind the American.
    Swiss double combined world champion Wendy Holdener almost did enough to catch the Italian reducing her half second deficit from the first run to 0.15sec on the second.
    Hodener is fourth in the overall standings.

    Margot Robbie says she didn't know what constitutes sexual harassment before working "Bombshell", her upcoming film.
    The movie that also features Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron is based on real-life accounts of sexual harassment from women working at Fox News.
    According to UK's Metro, the actress said she was unaware of what it truly meant to be sexually harassed.
    "One of the lines that shocked me when I first read the script was that sexual harassment includes any unwelcome sexual advances. I didn't know what sexual harassment was," the "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood"actor said in an interview.
    The 29-year-old said she thought physical contact was required for sexual harassment to be "considered illegal or wrong". "That really shocked me," said she.
    "Bombshell" is about Fox News boss Roger Ailes who was accused of sexual harassment and the women who brought him down.
    Margot features as the fictional character Kayla Pospisil in "Bombshell".
    Charlize essays the role of real-life Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly and Nicole plays Gretchen Carlson.

    Bangladesh have said no on Sunday to a proposal by Pakistan to play a full Test series later this month, saying they will only tour the country to play three T20Is
    Bangladesh Cricket Board President Nazmul Hassan said the recent tension in the Middle East between Iran and the United States was the main reason behind the decision as the government had given the board permission to send the team only for a short period.
    "The current state in the Middle East is definitely different than other times. So considering escalating tension in that particular region, they (the government) have told us to keep the tour as short as possible," Hassan told reporters in Dhaka after a meeting of the BCB board.
    "They (government authorities) have told us to play the three Twenty20s as quickly as possible in a short period. Later, if the situation improves, we can play the Test matches. We are going to communicate the same thing to Pakistan Cricket Board," he said.
    According to the ICC´s Future Tour Programme, Bangladesh are scheduled to play three T20 internationals and two Tests in Pakistan in January-February.
    The BCB had earlier made a similar proposal to play T20s in Pakistan, but the PCB had rejected their offer.
    The PCB wants Bangladesh to play Test matches if Bangladesh are to make the series short as the two Tests are also part of the ICC Test Championship.
    The BCB president said he will be flying to Dubai on Monday to discuss with ICC chairman Shashank Manohar about the possible implications of skipping the Test series against Pakistan.
    Test cricket returned to Pakistan in December for the first time since 2009 when the country hosted Sri Lanka for two matches, held in Rawalpindi and Karachi.

    The US is watching, says President Trump to IranWASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Sunday warned the "leaders of Iran" against killing their protesters, as protests against the Iranian leadership intensified across the country after Tehran admitted it had accidentally shot down a Ukrainian airliner. 
    Read more: Iran says it unintentionally shot down Ukrainian plane amid soaring tensions after missile strike
    As protests continued in different cities across the country, Trump took to Twitter to warn Tehran that "the world is watching" and "more importantly, the US is watching."
    "To the leaders of Iran - DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS. Thousands have already been killed or imprisoned by you, and the World is watching. More importantly, the USA is watching. Turn your internet back on and let reporters roam free! Stop the killing of your great Iranian people!" he tweeted. 
    Thousands took to the streets in Tehran to protest against the shooting down of a Ukrainian airliner on Wednesday when tensions soared between the US and Iran. 
    Iran retaliated to a US drone strike ordered by Trump that killed Al Quds commander Qassem Soleimani, by firing a volley of ballistic missiles at two military bases in Iraq that housed American troops. Hours after the attack and as the Iranians braced for a possible US onslaught, the Ukrainian airliner crashed outside Tehran. 
    Iran initially denied it had shot down the Ukrainian airliner. However, as the US and Canada urged Iran to come clean about the cause of the crash, a statement from the Iranian military accepted that the plane had been shot down by mistake. 
    Officials said that the plane had flown close to a "sensitive military centre" and was mistaken for a "hostile target". The statement added that the military was at its "highest state of readiness" amid the US tensions. 
    Scores of people took to the streets in Iran's major cities to chant slogans and protest against the regime, demanding the resignation of the supreme leader and President Rouhani. Clashes have broken out in various cities across the country as riot police sprung into action to quell the unrest. 
    Internet access was reportedly cut off in multiple Iranian provinces ahead of memorials planned a month after the protests.
    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has demanded that Iran provide "full clarity" on the downing of the plane. Ottawa says the dead included 57 Canadians.
    Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also offered his condolences and ordered the armed forces to address "shortcomings" so that such a disaster does not happen again.

    We sometimes find many relationship habits unhealthy and try to quit it, though some habits just make our lives and relationships easier. 
    Being in a toxic relationship is not a good idea but falsely accusing your relationship as being toxic is also a dumb thing to do. We are not asking you to stay in a relationship if you're unhappy but at times we need to find the thin line between toxic and 'tolerable'. 
    So, here is a list of five habits in a relationship that we think are toxic but will actually help your relationship go a long way-
    1. Letting Go Of Conflicts At Times © Dharma Productions
    People focus on resolving every argument when in a relationship but at times it's healthier to let go of some fights. Some conflicts are un-resolvable and fighting upon them are only going to make things worse.
    So, just keep in mind that some battles are not worth fighting for and save your relationship by avoiding conflicts.
    2. Feeling Attracted To Other People  © Dharma Productions
    We want to be attracted to our partner all the time but that's biologically not possible. You need to accept that you might feel attracted to other people and that's okay. It doesn't mean that you're falling out of love with your partner but just admire someone else apart from them for their qualities.
    Acting upon our attraction or liking is in our hand and our actions are responsible for making or breaking a relationship, as attractions are mostly temporary and love is real.
    3. Spending Time Apart © Dharma Productions
    It's always better to do what you want to do rather than focusing on your partner all the time. Valuing your relationship is important but moving ahead in your life and fulfilling your dreams is equally important.
    It's important to give space in a relationship as it only makes the bond stronger. Spending time apart also makes you regain the lost spark in a relationship.
    4. Accepting Each Other's Flaws © Dharma Productions
    No one is perfect and as soon as we accept each other's flaws the better the relationship is going to be. You need to like and accept each other for who they are then decide for yourself if you really want to be with them. Somewhere or the other we have to settle as no human being is perfect.
    5. Unintentionally Hurting Each Other  © Dharma Productions
    When in a relationship, we do things at times that the other person might not like or get hurt due to it. Sometimes they get hurt and sometimes we get hurt. The bottomline is to not pretend that you're happy and express if you're hurt as it is okay to be hurt.
    Your honest opinion is only going to make things easier for both of you.

    I am literally Keanu Reeves' good deed writer for this portal and I have written several instances where he's just been an ace human being. And to carry forth the tradition, here's one more  altruistic and remarkable Keanu stories to look forward to.
    © Twitter
    Known as the most generous, kind-hearted man alive (he once bought ice cream just so he could autograph the receipt for a fan), Keanu stuck to his numerous titles, by proving his kindness once again. The man left a 'big tip', after ordering for a double-scoop Baskin-Robbins ice cream. So, Keanu was in Alameda California, when he entered a Baskin-Robbins and made someone's day rather special, by leaving a 'big tip' after placing his order for the ice cream. While we're not sure what the big tip really entails, we're certain it has to be as big as Keanu's heart. Keanu is anyway known to make others around him happy, by doing extraordinary things in the most ordinary ways.
    © Twitter
    Right after he bought his ice cream, as humbly as he could, he decided to go to a nearby park and enjoy eating it. Right then he was asked by a fan for a picture and he obviously obliged. The dressed down box-office dynamo happily took a picture with the woman, who later shared it on her social media profile.
    #NewProfilePic pic.twitter.com/kBheB1neOC
    — yahoska (@yahoska___) January 8, 2020 Well, with a black attire and messy hair, but the actor still manages to look quite amazing, as always! For people who're confused as to why is Keanu enjoying  scoop in California, he's there to shoot for his forthcoming film, Matrix 4, which is scheduled to release somewhere in 2021. While Keanu will be playing his iconic role of Neo, Carrie-Ann Moss is returning in the film too. With that, Matrix 4 will also feature Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who is known for his role as Black Manta in Aquaman.

    For now we're waiting for the day Keanu is spotted in a local ice-cream parlour here in India, and we get to meet the most humble human, in person!

    One of the healthiest aspects of a successful relationship is the fact that two people have a difference in opinion. Sharing different beliefs is what makes a relationship more interesting and long lasting because you have an array of things to talk and debate about compared to people whose views are too similar in nature. The dread with that is you may get bored too soon if you agree on everything simultaneously. That's why, if you find someone who can share a reversibly interesting perspective to yours, you're sure to have thriving conversations with them, which will inevitably teach you a lot too.
    © Thinkstock
    But most times the opposing views you hold, to that of your partner, can cause little or more friction if they're sensitive in nature and that something you have to recognise if you're with someone. You have to know that if you do have difference in opinions then what is the threshold of your partner's sensitivity towards their opinion and this mostly plays out a little unguarded when two people who're together have different political views. Now political view is not just the current political climate of your country or the government you've elected to govern you. Someone's politics can be their world view. It's whether they think certain humans deserve rights, it's how someone thinks the world should be, it's also someone's view on how the world can change or how they can change the world. To a lot of people their political views are sacrosanct and they'll do anything to defend them, since their views are actually a collation of what they understand of the world around it and how they want it to change for the better.
    © Thinkstock
    Currently the political scenario in this country has changed the narrative of how people think, act and react. Due to the current situation, the people who do not agree with the government policies are out on the streets protesting them and those who do, are making sure they protest the rightist realm and keep it intact. Well, I can't cite examples for any other intense political scenarios except the one India is facing right now and if you and your partner have opposing views about this, it can get a little stifling and infuriating, apart from the fact that you share diverse opinions on a lot of things in general. So, in case your discussion are leading to fights, screaming matches, a rollercoaster of emotions, anxiety and dilemma or making you question companionship with the concerned person in general, there are things you can do to pacify this situation and meet each other halfway.
    "Even people who deeply love each other are falling victim to the 'politics of personal destruction' where it's not enough to disagree with someone but you have to destroy them and everything they stand for in the process," says a popular marriage and family therapist, Gary Brown, Ph.D.
    So, here's what you can do, to lighten the argument a bit and make the other person see your point of view, and meet you halfway in what you believe too, while you do the same with them.
    (1) Listen & Acknowledge Thomas Haller and Chick Moorman, authors of the book, Couple Talk advise couples to encourage each other to keep talking, rather than tuning out. Tuning out or leaving a conversation is rude and unethical and can make the other person feel like you don't respect their opinion. Rather than walking away or tuning out, thinking it'll save you an argument, reason with them their philosophy behind their thought. Hear them out and acknowledge what they're saying, while you share your opinion and ask them to do the same. Make sure you let them know that you are listening and acknowledging and agreeing with their point of view, but you have a different opinion of the same!

    (2) You Can 'Agree To Disagree' "Be non judgmental and accepting of yourself and your friends n partner... understanding that ur bond is based on connection n love... even  though you are different people from different backgrounds. Also unless you're willing to participate in political changes.. no points getting touchy or having a heated argument just for the sake of discussion" says clinical psychologist and life coach, Preeti Sethi.
    While you and your partner may have opposing viewpoints, it's always easier to agree to disagree, which means you can tolerate your partners viewpoints without accepting the opposing position. You both can respect each other opinion but you necessarily don't have to agree with everything your partner puts forth. Knowing your partner doesn't agree with you yet respects your views as a person is a good step towards resolution.

    (3) Understand & Empathise "Seek to learn why your partner thinks differently than you do. This is a skill you'll need in many areas if you are to create lasting relationships," says Tina B. Tessina, a psychotherapist.
    Understanding the truest nature of your partner to resolve this particular dilemma is important. You have to understand what drives her, where she gets her view from, what experiences she had, what she's been through to know the fundamental crux of her debate with you. Once you understand these things, learn to empathise with them. Well, it'll be easier to empathise with someone you love than with someone you barely know, so it shouldn't be difficult to put yourself in her shoes, every once in a while. One you do that you will see the genesis of her thought process and learn to accept her and her ideology, which is her identity and who she really is. Make her do the same for you.

    (4) How Does Your Partner's Political Affiliation Affect The Relationship? "I would say politics is personal, but yes , if it impacts your gender roles etc, then you need to look at not only the political inclination but also other things
    One may support a political party for various reasons - money, business, connections, social pressure etc but one needs to look beyond the vote and question how it seeps into the relationship. How does it affect your mobility, child care, marital status - the legalities of it all?" - Says Prachi Gangwani, a Relationship Writer.
    Knowing if the effects of your partners political affiliation are negative or positive is very important. If the government she supports is doing more harm than good then it's important to make her see another perspective to her approach on all this. Without being pompous, and condescending, try and make her see why her ideology is not suited for the family and that she needs to see the larger picture. There are many people who take this approach, especially in India's current political scenario, a lot of people are educating others on what the right thing to think and do is and you can take a similar step. If you're the one thinking regressively, on the other hand, allow her to do the same for you.
    © Instagram
    (5) You Both Can Learn A Lot Even though you may have opposing views, you both can learn so much from each other and help each other grow ideologically. If you share the history of the current government, which you are well versed with, with your partner, she may learn a great deal and do a bit more research to know if she wants to continue supporting the current regime or not. It could work both ways. She can educate you about something you're unaware about and change your political stance on something too. You should be grateful and not take it upon yourself to have an ego war with your significant other.
    "I've been in a relationship with someone who has opposing political views we but don't dismiss each other's points of views. I have learnt a lot from her political affiliations and beliefs and I can so has she from mine. Currently we both are on opposing sides of the spectrum, where India's politics is concerned and we spend a quality amount of time trying to make the other see what's important and we've realised that we've been learning and growing simultaneously and also respect each other's points of view. Yes, there are arguments, but which relationship doesn't have any?" says Amit Sinha, a Chartered Accountant by profession.

    Even our celebrity couple's  share different points of views and educate and influence people about what is right and what's wrong and I believe that is very important for people to take a direction and read up more on what's happening. Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar, for example are one such couple who openly practice their political beliefs. While Twinkle opposes the current government, Akshay, who was seen holding the ABVP flag, stands with the government. But even so, they're an epitome on how to not hold each other accountable for holding different views and opinions, politically.
    India,where cows seem to receive more protection than students, is also a country that now refuses to be cowed down. You can't oppress people with violence-there will be more protests,more strikes,more people on the street. This headline says it all. pic.twitter.com/yIiTYUjxKR

    Yusaku Maezawa needs no introduction. At least not anymore, ever since he decided to give $9 million to 1000 random Twitter followers as part of a social experiment. I won't be surprised if you too started following this Japanese billionaire on Twitter, after he made that lucrative deal. 
    Well, if you're following him then you will know about his latest tweet about him finding a life partner. In case you didn't know, then this news is for you. 
    Maezawa's $9 million experiment was probably to see whether money can buy happiness or not. Looks like, his latest tweet is to see if "love you to the moon and back" is for real. How else do you justify his bizarre proposal?
    Reuters
    While most people are still waiting for their crush to reply to their DMs, or waiting to get swiped right, this Japanese billionaire is looking for a life partner who will join him in his journey to the moon and become what he calls the "first woman" to travel to the moon. 
    44-year-old Maezawa, who is the founder of Japan's largest online clothing brand Zozotown, took to Twitter and wrote, "[WANTED!!!] Why not be the 'first woman' to travel to the moon? #MZ_looking_for_love". He also listed down the eligibility criteria and deadlines for application.
    [WANTED!!!]

    — Yusaku Maezawa (MZ) å澤åä½ (@yousuck2020) January 12, 2020 Apparently, this is a "serious one-on-one planned matchmaking event!" and he's looking for single women aged over 20, bright personality and always positive, interested in going into space and able to participate in the preparation for it, wants to enjoy life to the fullest (just like him) and be someone who wishes for world peace.
    The last date for application is January 17 and the final results will be declared (after a couple of stages of screening) at the end of March. 
    So ladies, do you think you can become "Full Moon Lovers" with Yusaku Maezawa and travel to the moon with him? If yes, then this is your time to shine. Sorry boys, the offer's not for y'all.

    It's okay to admit that it is, in fact, impossible to smell good all the time. It goes without saying that none of us naturally smell like fresh-cut roses. However, it is possible to create an arsenal of scented products that make you smell really good, should you want to. So, here's a quick guide to help you smell good at all times.
    1. Use A Good Tooth Paste You need a toothpaste with a formula that's safe and gentle but also leaves your mouth feeling fresh. This is the first step that you need to start and end your day with to nix bad breath.
    2. Rinse With Mouthwash © Getty Images
    Now, we all know that brushing your teeth may not be enough for the entire day. Carrying a handy mouthwash then saves you in times of crisis when you want to fix that bad breath in the middle of the day at work.
    3. Never Rub In Your Fragrance © Getty Images
    Spray your perfume on your wrists, the back of your neck, or mist it into the air and walk through it. But don't rub it in, because this will make the fragrance disappear entirely. And for a long-lasting scent, you must know that you should avoid this step.
    4. Try An Essential Oil-Roller © Getty Images
    With an essential oil roller, not only do you get 48 hours of sweat protection, but you're also left with an extremely calming scent. So, you could experiment with rollers with formulas of lavender, tea tree, oudh, and eucalyptus essential oils.
    5. Wear Strong Perfume © Getty Images
    If you're not comfortable with rollerballs, try keeping this solid perfume on you instead. You can always keep travel-minis in your bag for a quick fresh-up in the middle of the day.
    6. Don't Forget The Body Cream The body cream will not only hydrate your skin but will also leave room for absorbing the perfume, further enabling the scent to last longer.

    If you have been looking for true love and are unable to find it, there are chances that you're addicted to being single. Yes, it is as crazy as it sounds. Once you have been single for a long time, you become comfortable with singlehood. The freedom is addictive and to figure this out for you, we talked to a few men who have been single for a while and they told us why being single is addictive.
    So, here are five reasons as to why being single becomes addictive after a while and you don't even know it yet!
    1. No one is good enough for you © Dharma Productions
    Everyone you look at is either too immature, too weird, too cheesy, too annoying, or clingy and much more. No one is good enough for you and you start finding excuses to not fall in love or to just reject people.
    Jasraj Singh, 25 years old, always thinks that he can find someone better, “I have been single for the past five years now. It's just difficult to find someone like you or someone who is equally intellectual or mature and many more things. I haven't found the one and I think I am happier this way.”
    2. Always attracted to the unavailable ones © Dharma Productions
    If you only want to chase the unavailable ones or people who are already with someone else, don't you think that there is a minor problem in the whole scenario?
    Maybe, you don't want to get into a relationship and that's the only reason that you're comfortable running behind unavailable ones.
    Vansh Kohli, 17 years old, says, “I have never been in a relationship and I always have a crush on girls who are already with someone else. It's not like that I don't want to get into a relationship but to be honest, I am not very eager either. If it happens naturally, I might take the plunge and take a chance of dating someone.”
    3. You're addicted to your work © Naidadwala Grandson Entertainment
    You're too busy to do anything else as you're busy focusing on your career and you don't find it worth-while to invest your time into something temporary.
    4. Staying In Your Comfort Zone © Dharma Productions
    If you've been single for a while, there is a chance that getting into a relationship sounds like a task to you. And why wouldn't it if you're happy being with yourself. Afterall, we are finding happiness in life and we have it within ourselves, so why'd we need anyone else.
    This psychology plays on us when we start to reach a completely different level of self-love. After a while, knowingly or unknowingly we become addicted to being single.
    Anuj Trehan, 23 years old, tells us why he thinks singlehood is addictive. “I feel singlehood teaches us a lot. One such important learning is *self-love*, which is hard to value when we are in a relationship with someone. In fact, when you are single, things are poles apart from being dramatic and messy as you don't have to maintain a balance between your desires and your partner's expectations. And once you feel comfortable with the fact that you are on your own and happy, there you are - taking solo trips, solo food outings, and doing absolutely everything that leaves you with happy vibes!”
    5. You're a social butterfly © Dharma Productions
    All you do is fill up your calendar and go out every night on meaningless outings without realising that you're just letting time slip out of your 
    So, it's time to sit and introspect what do you exactly want in life.

    It was nothing short of a fairytale coming true when Meghan Markle got married to Prince Harry. Almost everyone across the globe seemed to be talking only about them. Fast forward to the present time and people are still talking about them. 
    The world went into a mini shock when the Duke of Sussex Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle announced that they are stepping down from their roles as "senior royals". 
    Their long note on social media, Prince Harry's friends sharing "anecdotes" about what could have possibly led to the exit and Madame Tussauds London moving their wax figures away from the royal family further fuelled the fire around what people are calling "Megxit".  
    View this post on Instagram “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” - The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image © PA

    How often do you see a man going against his family and leaving them behind to be with and protect his true love? The last time we saw it was in 2001 when Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was released starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. And that's exactly what people on social media were reminded of.
    Same energy: guy leaves his wealthy family and his inheritance cuz of love #Megxit #K3G pic.twitter.com/3rQxKSiPsD
    — Salokya Sarira (@SalazarSalokya) January 9, 2020 While the royal family is busy figuring out how to bring this crisis situation under control, desi people on social media can't help but think of Prince Harry and Meghan as the royal Rahul and Anjali. Now that we think about it, the energy is same though.
    People comparing Meghan-Harry to Rahul-Anjali's plot in K3G.
    Yup, can totally imagining Will going to Canada to get back his brother, dancing with Kate to You are my Soniya. Charles and Camilla joining in for Bole Chudiyaan and oh, and the Queen dies. Plausible

    Not all movies are meant to entertain us and be watched with friends or family. Sometimes, on days when our hearts are full of doubts and the weight of the world is upon our shoulders, one needs to just have a good cry. Mark this list for the days when you need to watch a tearjerker and cry in peace: 
    1. Masoom Please prepare to go on a roller coaster of emotions with this absolutely beautiful movie about a little boy craving the love of a family and a father who is too embarrassed to have him. 100% guarantee that it will clean your eye ducts. 
    2. Sadma Catharsis is a beautiful literary device and this wonderfully sad (if I may call it) movie ensures that the end will leave you wiping your tears. 
    3. One Day A gorgeously written unconventional romantic movie which explores the various aspects of a relationship which finds its roots in a friendship. Anne Hathaway gave us all the feels and our hearts bled towards the end. 
    4. Hachi Probably the only 'dog' movie I have ever been able to watch in my life because it is easy for me to watch humans die in a story but the pain of a dog is unfathomable for my soul. However, no dog deaths are involved in this but it explores the pious relationship your canine love shares with you. Please watch it when you need a hearty cry. 
    5. Room A young mother and her son are kept captive for years, and the mother fights hard for survival. A small movie that can leave a big impact on your heart and make you love things in life harder as you appreciate them.
    6. Taare Zameen Par If the song 'Maa' was not enough, this movie can melt the strongest of hearts. There is something about the little protagonist trying to fit in the adult world which makes you want to hug yourself for all the times you felt alone.

    Photo: FileThe stock market closed on a positive note in the outgoing week as it scaled above 43,000 points despite geopolitical tensions arising due to the US-Iran conflict, dealers told The News and are expecting the market to sustain its recent upward momentum.
    Dealers also shared that the recent spiraling of tensions between Iran and the US led to a surge in oil prices and people also rushed to havens such as gold.
    However, the equity market showed resilience to the conflict, which suggests investors have become familiar with how messy situations could unlock other avenues of opportunity.

    Furthermore, ample domestic and fresh foreign liquidity would likely set the pace of KSE-100 towards the year-end target of 55,000 points.
    In upcoming weeks, earnings season is expected to guide the market sentiments. In terms of financial results, banking sector would likely outshine other sectors, with financial performance of cyclicals expected to remain disappointing.

    Qureshi hopes tensions to ease after Iran admits plane crash mistakeOn Saturday, Qureshi in a statement said that Iran owning up to its mistake of downing Ukrainian passenger plane would likely ease up tensions in the region.
    “Iran’s confession of downing Ukrainian passenger plane should ease up tensions as the region can neither endure tension nor can it tolerate war anymore,” he said.
    FM Qureshi reiterated that Pakistan would play an active role to reduce growing tensions in the region.
    Iranian armed forces on Saturday admitted that they unintentionally shot down the Ukrainian airliner that crashed this week and blamed "human error" for the mistake.

    In the open market, the rupee traded in the band of 155.30 and 155.80 against the greenback.
    Yaqoob Abubakar from Tresmark, an application that tracks financial markets, said the rupee/dollar parity saw some fluctuations due to rising geopolitical risks.
