    India is the best country in the world if you’ve a Canadian citizenship, says Indian artist Bollywood stars are reacting to a recent incident of violence in  Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) that saw several students injured at the hands of ruling party supporters.
    Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan and many other actors have condemned the use of force against the students, expressing their support to the victims of the violence.
    Joining the chorus of condemnations, Indian comedian Kunal Kamra lamented the state of affairs in his country.
    The artist took a jibe at India with a sarcastic tweet that read:  "India is the best country in the world if you’ve a Canadian Citizenship..."
    The JNU incident comes on the heels of a wave of protests that gripped the entire South Asian country over  Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a law that discriminates against Muslims.

    Dawn Chief Executive Hameed Haroon (L) and film director Jamshed Mehmood Raza, known popularly as 'Jami' (R). Geo.tv/FilesThe Chief Executive Officer of Dawn, Hameed Haroon, on Monday sent a defamation notice to Jamshed 'Jami' Mahmood seeking an "unconditional public apology" and the retraction of allegations that the former raped the latter.
    The two have been involved in a public dispute since Mahmood recently posted a statement on Twitter saying that Haroon raped him. The accusation followed an earlier statement, issued in October last year, in which Jami had spoken about being raped by a 'media tycoon'.
    Jami has said he has received the notice and is in the process of perusing it, according to Dawn.com, which spoke to the filmmaker. 
    "He added, however, that an apology was 'not even a distant possibility'," the publication reported.
    “There is a lot that needs to be done for victims of sexual harassment and for future victims,” Jami was quoted as saying. 
    Jami told the publication that he has already covered most of the points raised in the defamation notice in previous statements issued on social media. 
    Contents of the notice"[...] Almost two months after circulating your first tweet on being allegedly raped, and strangely and abruptly travelling outside Pakistan, on December 28, 2019 on the social media platform Twitter, you falsely and maliciously labelled our client as an alleged rapist," the notice states.
    "Since then, you have been continuing to circulate this false allegation all over Pakistan, including Karachi and abroad. Our client categorically denies that he has ever perpetrated sexual assault on anyone and categorically denies that he has raped you."
    The notice repeats earlier accusations levelled by Haroon against Jami, including that the filmmaker is 'defaming' Haroon at the behest of powerful interests in the state who wish to "destroy [Haroon's] credibility, especially his credibility as a leading advocate of the freedom of press." 
    According the Haroon's legal team, Jami issued "a false statement [...] to injure the reputation" of their client. 
    It says that Jami wanted to subject Haroon to "ridicule, unjust criticism, dislike, contempt and hatred and to target the freedom of the press".
    It should be mentioned that Jami has previously stated that he was summoned and assured of support if he went public with his allegations. He, however, claimed he had turned down the 'offer', saying his fight was not with Dawn as an institution, but with the person who assaulted him. 
    Jami has been told to issue an "unconditional public apology" as well as a retraction of his rape allegation "from all social media posts and other media outlets within 14 days of the receipt of this notice." 
    He has been warned of criminal legal proceedings under Section 499 of the Pakistan Penal Code, 1860, and the Defamation Ordinance, 2002 in case he does not comply.

    Geo.tv/FilesISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office on Monday asked India not to 'feign' concerns for minorities abroad and protect its own minorities from 'Saffron terror'.
    Refuting Indian allegations regarding the Nankana Sahib incident, In a handout, the FO said : "Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s mischievous portrayal of isolated law and order incidents in Peshawar and Nankana Sahib as alleged ‘persecution’ of minorities is part of its smear campaign against Pakistan and a desperate attempt to divert attention from the ongoing state terrorism in Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IOJ&K) and systematic discrimination against minorities in India."

    It also said that the Indian government had no credentials even to pretend that it is a protector of minorities. "Those who are responsible for the desecration and demolition of the Babri mosque, massive killings of thousands of Muslims in Gujarat, frequent incidents of mob lynching, and repeated hate crimes against minorities, simply have no feet to stand on" it added.
    "Pakistan attaches the highest respect and sanctity to all places of worship, including those belonging to Sikh religion. We categorically reject Indian allegations regarding any 'attack' and 'desecration' at the holy Gurdwara Nankana Sahib," the FO statement read.
    Referring to Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan's efforts in the inauguration and expedition in the Kartarpur Corridor it said: " The historic opening of the Kartarpur Corridor on November 9, 2019 is a clear manifestation of the Prime Minister’s vision in this regard."
    It also said that India was attempting to politicise the killing of a Sikh youth in Pakistan, terming the move mischievous and reprehensible.

    "A case was registered immediately and a high-powered committee constituted to investigate the matter. The law will take its course and those responsible will be brought to justice," it read.
    Maintaining that all communities live in peace and harmony in the country, it said: "Pakistan is a diverse country where people from different faiths, including Hindus, Sikhs and Christians, live together. The Constitution of Pakistan guarantees equal rights to all its citizens," it said.

You know, I think it actually unlocks a little bit, as I imagine having children will, I really want kids too.”

    Patients wait to register for treatment at the opening of a medical marijuana clinic in Bangkok. Photo: AFPA medical clinic in Bangkok opened Monday offered free cannabis oil to hundreds of Thais seeking relief from cancer, insomnia and muscle pain as the government drives home the economic and health benefits of their gamble of marijuana.
    Thailand in 2018 became the first country in Southeast Asia to legalise medical marijuana, although many Thais have long used the herb in traditional medicine.
    The government is eager to harvest the multi-billion-dollar potential of weed, investing in tech to extract, distill and market cannabis oils.
    "Today marks the beginning," Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said at the launch of the Bangkok clinic.
    "We are fighting for the better health of Thai people and fighting for a better economy," he told AFP, standing next to a marijuana leaf mascot wearing a doctor's coat.
    Thailand hopes that legalising marijuana products for medical purposes will provide a boost to the economy. Photo: AFPHundreds of, mostly elderly, Thais waited to receive the 5-10 mg vials of oil for muscle aches, though some came bearing more serious ailments — like Natjuta, born with cerebral palsy and confined to a wheel chair.
    Her mother, Supatra Ulapatorn, said cannabis oil helps her daughter to sleep better and stay calmer.
    "She does not sleep well which causes me not to sleep either," said the 60-year-old. "She is more calm now, so I think it works."
    Anutin, a construction tycoon-turned-minister whose Bhumjaithai party rode a pro-marijuana platform in last year's elections to become a major player in parliament, has promised an economic bonanza to his rural constituents.

    He added that the drug has been "de-stigmatised" in Thailand.
    "If we talk about cannabis extraction, I have a sense people view it as medication rather than it being a narcotic," he said.
    Still, a knot of rules govern who can grow marijuana plants and extract cannabis oil, and critics say legislation will limit opportunities for small farmers and likely benefit big agro-industrial firms.
    Medical research has shown that cannabis oil can help ease the pain of patients suffering from conditions such as multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, but the science is out on its impact on other serious diseases including different forms of cancers.
    Recreational use and trade of marijuana is still illegal and could land anyone caught with a joint with severe penalties of up to 10 years in prison.

    While India is grappling with communal turmoil to some extent, there is always a beaming ray of hope that this mosque in Kerala is trying to show to people around the country.
    While many fear India's secular fabric is under threat, this Kerala Mosque has opened its gate and coffers for a Hindu wedding, to help out a couple from a financially poor background. Anju and Sharath Sasi, a Hindu couple, will get married between 11.30am and 12.30pm on January 19 at the Cheruvally Muslim Jamaat Mosque in Kayamkulam, Alappuzha district.
    The Mosque compound will have a Shamyana made for the wedding and will prepare a vegetarian meal (Sadya) for about 1,000 guests.

    “Since there's a tradition of wedding gifts in this area, we will sponsor Rs 2 lakh in cash for the groom and gold jewellery for the bride,” mosque secretary Nujumuddin Alummoottil told a popular publication in an interview. The secretary also mentioned that he didn't want this affair to get too much publicity but unfortunately the wedding invite somehow got shared online and the Malyalam media were the first to approach him.
    The mother of the bride, Bindu, who lives in a rented house near the mosque, had been struggling to raise three children since the death of her husband Ashokan in 2018. A person associated with the mosque told Bindu to approach them since she had no money for her daughter's wedding.
    “Her husband, a goldsmith, died of cardiac arrest after dropping their youngest son at his exam centre for his Class X boards. That tragedy shook the family, with the two elder girls including Anju giving up studies after Plus II,” the secretary added.
    The matter of helping the family in this crisis was presented to the committee and about 10,000 people who had come to pray on the first Friday of November, agreed to help the family synonymously.
    “I should say all the 10,000 people who had come to pray agreed that we should help the family,” the secretary added.
    Anju's mother then found the groom in the next two weeks and informed the mosque committee so they could commence with the preparations to get them married in peace.
     “I have helped many people on many occasions. But I have never felt this kind of satisfaction,” Alummoottil who owns a 'wedding centre', said in an interview.
    © Twitter
    The marriage ceremony of Sarath Sasi and Anju is going to take place on the 19th of January, 2020, between 11:30am and 12:30 pm, inside mosque premises, where their family members and the members of the mosque will attend the procession. Alummoottil, the mosque secretary now wants to launch 'communal amity homes', which are going to be blocks of three houses, one each for financially weaker sections of the Hindu, Muslim and Christian communities. He believes this housing project will get a lot of community support.
    Well, in today's day and age we need more people like Alummoottil, who believe in religious unity and secularity, when the entire country is fighting to maintain its secular ground. We truly hope Anju and Sarath Sasi's wedding goes as planned and Alummoottil gets to help all religious communities through the Mosque.

    It's only been a few hours since the trailer of Malang was released, but it's become internet's favourite meme already. As if people were eagerly waiting for the trailer to drop only to make memes out of them.
    In case you haven't seen the trailer yet, it's a revenge drama that goes like this - Aditya Roy Kapur, guns, fighting, Disha Patani, dancing, dancing, romance, guns, fighting, Anil Kapoor, guns, guns, Aditya Roy Kapur, fighting, fighting, shirtless pictures, kunal kemmu, tattoos, fighting, fighting, guns. Like people say "Aap chronology samjhiye!"
    © T-Series
    The trailer is good, but super confusing. No one knows what's happening and why is it happening. But, at least people on social media were clear about one thing - Malang is going to give them sufficient fodder to churn out memes and that's exactly what happened.
    From mocking Tiger Shroff for Aditya and Disha's crackling chemistry to taking digs at their bosses for making them work till late, no one was spared by the meme makers on social media.

    The incident at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has left the nation shook once again. Disturbing videos and photos of the breakout have been surfacing on the internet. 
    A lot of celebrities including Swara Bhasker, Dia Mirza, Sonam Kapoor and many more took to their social media to express their views. Recently, Ayushmann Khurrana also shared a poem written by him on Twitter around India's democracy.
    However, his cryptic tweet has left the people confused. Is he really supporting the students or not?

    Mohit Suri is back with his lucky charm Aditya Roy Kapur and this time, the dynamic duo is bringing a romantic-action drama Malang. Starring Aditya, Disha Patani and the evergreen Anil Kapoor in lead roles, the movie looks like a dark action thriller with some gore, murder, major muscle and lots of abs on the screen, courtesy the good looking on-screen pair.
    The trailer looks promising in the first few seconds but soon fizzles out like an already opened bottle of Coca Cola. The plot looks confusing and the only main premise one can conclude from this trailer is that the three characters are murderers with motives of their own but other than that, there isn't much to offer.
    Thirty seconds into the trailer, Disha Patani is seen walking out of the sea in a bikini, reminding us of Pamela Anderson from Baywatch. The actress walks towards the camera in slow motion, as a voiceover about her wanting to be “carefree” plays in the background.
    Kunal Kemmu makes a blink-and-miss appearance in the trailer but it is pretty obvious that he plays a crucial part in the movie. Disha Patani returns from the dead at the end of the trailer for a surprise, which we thought was too much of a giveaway.
    Kunal Khemu is great, Aditya is hot. Don't like the trailer much but they managed to keep the suspense atleast. #MalangTrailer https://t.co/8iGAprZC2R

    As we said goodbye to the 2010s, fans of Indian cricket have seen some phenomenal players in the making and eventually bring home the kind of success and world recognition that they deserve. 
    Names like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, although already entered the international cricketing circuit ahead of the previous decade, their ascension to greatness and remembrance with the 'legendary' status came in the past 10 years. 
    Year start like Rohit Sharma
    Year mid like Virat Kohli
    Year end like Vintage Dhoni

    And... Year 2020, like WT20 2007.
    — Silly Point (@FarziCricketer) December 31, 2019 In order to find out who the common masses felt has been at the helm of the sport worldwide for the duration, ESPNcricinfo decided to carry out an extensive survey, creating a fixture of some of the most well known cricketers from different countries. Names like Ben Stokes, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson were also added alongside the three above mentioned Indian athletes. 
    After days of shortlisting players on the basis of the votes registered by their followers, the final round holds Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni's names competing for the glory. 
    Virat Kohli or MS Dhoni: who's your men's cricketer of the 2010s?

    Vote here ð https://t.co/JC4Xycrj53 pic.twitter.com/141tm1Th6S
    — ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) January 5, 2020 After approximately a million votes the tough competition is slightly tilted in favour of the former skipper as he leads the race with 51% of the votes according to the ESPNcricinfo website during the time at which this article is being written. 
    However, in the comments of the Twitter post that the cricket publication put out, one of the users decided to start a survey of his own; this time comparing MS Dhoni with former adult entertainer, Mia Khalifa for the position of the “best pornstar”: 
    i m sure dhoni will win here also. Best pornstar ?
    — Cricket Freak â¤ï¸ (@naveensurana05) January 5, 2020 To our surprise, it is the Indian wicket-keeper batsman who is leading the race with 57.4% out of the 3000 voters voting for him. 
    Now there are two ways in which the Twitter users saw this “experiment”. One, the voters have a good sense of humour and are voting just for the laughs. Some of the others, people who don't like fun, took it way too seriously than it should have been and started to analyse the crap out of it. 
    One skeptic user believes that Dhoni fans had become too blind to even look at what was being asked before voting for their cricketer while another said that the man who started this poll was “not a true Indian”.
    And maybe that's the thing about these so called 'die hard' fans of the game who take offense on every little thing that happens. People need to ease a bit and just laugh when something this hilarious happens.

    People say that you don't realise the worth of something until it's taken away from you. Most of us realise it during Navratri every year, when we don't get to eat your favourite non-vegetarian dishes.
    Well, you can have 100 problems in your life, but thanks to one guy you will now have to solve only 99 of them. The guy is Anand Mahindra and he's not exactly a problem solver but his Twitter account sure is, where he shared this brilliant solution to our food woes.
    Anand Mahindra has a knack for finding the funniest, unique and sometimes the most absurd things happening around the world and, thanks to him, we came across this one-in-a-million pure-vegetarian restaurant. So, what's so special about it, right? This restaurant serves everything 'veg', including veg fish fry, veg chicken rice and veg mutton dosa.
    An example of how Incredible India really is. For millennia we have known how to harness the power of mind over matter. Veg, Non-Veg, what's the difference? It's all in the mind...ð pic.twitter.com/U1x1LEvij6
    — anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) January 5, 2020 Anand Mahindra posted a picture on his Twitter account and wrote, "An example of how Incredible India really is. For millennia we have known how to harness the power of mind over matter. Veg, Non-Veg, what's the difference? It's all in the mind."
    Why didn't we ever think of this - add veg in front of every dish and it's not non-veg anymore. Problem solved!
    People on the internet can't get enough of this hack and these tweets are proof of the same.
    Desperate times leads to desperate measuresð¹ð¹ð¹
    — Yenchi_saav (@ChuteMi69) January 5, 2020 Probably , failed marketing strategy . Indians are more sensitive towards food .
    — S R Ramnarayan (@ramnarayan_sr) January 5, 2020 Yes that's what is interesting about india. Looking forward for having Non Veg  Kheer some day.ðð

    It's easy to get caught with the growing list of gadgets that are making their way into the world. Quite honestly, not all of them are worth your time or hard-earned money. In most cases, what may work others may not do the trick for you, which is why it's important to give a little bit of thought before buying anything.
    But today, I am going to be listing some of the top tech items to kick off 2020 with. All the items on this list are very reliable will make your life easier, allowing you to get more done, and feel less stressed. So let's get started with this list -
    Baseus Mini Magnetic USB-C Angled Fast Charging Adapter
    I don't have to tell you about Apple's MacBook MagSafe connectors, right? I am very clumsy when it comes to wires, and I can't begin to tell you how many times I've tripped over a power cord that's charging either a phone or my laptop. And the next thing you know is gadget is sent flying off the table or desk.

    This is where MagSafe connectors enter. Apple has stopped making these, but luckily a ton of other third-party vendors have started selling them, that too for different connectors. Today, on Amazon, you can get a MagSafe USB Type C connector, a MagSafe Lightning connector, and a whole more. The one from Baseus is what I use personally, but you can do a little research and pick anything that suits you. But just do yourself a favor and buy a MagSafe connector for as many gadgets as you can.
    A Wireless Charger As someone who carries more than a dozen gadgets at a time, I often find myself carrying a ton of chargers with me all the time. I am glad that most of the gadgets which I use these days including my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods support wireless charging. I can just throw them on the wireless mat whenever I am not using them instead of keeping it on my bag and they'll get charged and be ready to go when I am.
    © Amazon
    Even if you don't carry too many gadgets, a wireless charger is something you might want to invest in 2020 because it'll definitely make your life that much easier. Once you go wireless, you won't feel like fiddling with charging cables anymore.
    Tile Mate © Amazon
    Bluetooth locators have gone mainstream now and one of the best ones on the market is the new Tile Mate tracker. You can use this with anything like your wallet, backpack, or your suitcase, and track it in case you happen to misplace them. It's one of those things that you'll forget about until you need it.
    A Pair Of Truly Wireless Earbuds © Apple
    There are a ton of truly wireless earbuds out there on the market, and I think it's time we switch to wireless media instead of fiddling with cords for our day-to-day use. Yes, a good pair of wired earphones or headphones are still irreplaceable because of the sheer quality that it offers, but the convenience offered by a pair of truly wireless earbuds is unmatchable. You can gon with AirPods Pro if you're an Apple user, so buy the Samsung Galaxy Buds or Realme Buds if you're an Android phone user.
    A Smart Speaker © Amazon
    Smart speakers with digital assistants are just as popular as Bluetooth speakers once were. There's something satisfying about talking to your digital assistant and getting things done like setting an alarm, turning on lights and other appliances, etc. Options like the Amazon's Echo Dot and Google Home Mini are so good in terms of both audio quality and functionality that you simply can't ignore them. Be sure to check it out.

    If there's someone who can consistently surprise us on the red carpet with incredibly unconventional outfits, it is Billy Porter. The Pose star is popular for surprising us with unthinkable looks each time he's on the red carpet. 
    For the Met Gala last year, Billy Porter arrived dressed as an Egyptian winged pharaoh. The almost diva-like entrance was carried out by the six shirtless attendants who carried Billy Porter on a plank while strutting on the red carpet. This is what his outfit looked like:

    For the Academy Awards 2019, he went for a glorious gown by Christian Siriano paired with jewellery by Oscar Heyman and Bros. So, he wore a skirt around it that looked like this:

    For the 77th Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night, Billy wore something very similar to the Academy Awards 2019 look, except this time, it was an all-white outfit. He wore a white tuxedo and a glorious angel wing feather train trailing behind him that could be zipped out easily. While speaking to the paparazzi, he said that “this isn't a sitting outfit, this is a standing outfit," said Billy.

    Alex Vanassche designed Porter's outfit, and the actor completed the look with Jimmy Choo boots and jewellery from Tiffany & Co. Porter also said that the wings actually zip on and off, because practicality is key at a long event like the Globes.

    We wonder how he managed to keep the outfit white throughout the event.

    Vikrant Massey claims that for him the common man is the hero in real life and he aims to establish that on screen. The actor said that he thinks that Bollywood has ignored the 'aam aadmi' for too long and he is focusing on showcasing the same on centre stage.
    Vikrant told PTI in an interview recently, "This is the time of common man. The person cleaning the drain is a common man, the common men are out on the streets fighting. The common man has always been the hero and they have been ignored for too long. I am an actor, I can act and what I can do through my work is, become their voice.”
    Vikrant said that as he belongs to a lower-middle-class family he has struggled a lot and the struggles only made him stronger.

    A post shared by Vikrant Massey (@vikrantmassey87) on Nov 20, 2019 at 12:33am PST
    "I was told I am a TV actor and I won't get to work in films. When I came here (films) I was told I can only be a hero's friend, but I am the protagonist and the so-called hero...I have lived a journey. Like Amol in Chhapaak is a common man, who left his job and is walking on this path. There are people, these are characters, who for me are the heroes," he added.
    Vikrant revealed that he is not a trained performer and takes inspiration from the society.

    He also said, "I travel a lot. I want to bring on-screen all my experiences. I am still learning, I am very young, what I see around me, I try to bring it on screen. I hope audiences like me, they laugh and cry with me and take away something from the characters I play. I am not attempting to change the world, I want people to get aware of their own self, and relate to the characters I play.”
    Vikrant will be next seen in Chhapaak alongside Deepika Padukone who plays an acid attack survivor. The Meghna Gulzar directorial is set to hit the theatres on January 10, 2020.

    Maintaining hair follicles is already a difficult job. From using the wrong type of products to getting a wrong haircut, there are plenty of mistakes that can ruin your overall your appearance. To bring an end to it so your follicles stay safe. You don't need to blame your barber or diet routine anymore because there's a fix to everything. Here's how you can steer clear of common hair mistakes.
    1. Being Rough With Your Scalp A busy schedule can make you rush to shower. It might look like this won't cause any issue but it's actually weakening the hair follicles and also increasing the risk of dandruff. Instead, rub the shampoo in your palms and gently apply it on your scalp. This promotes hair growth without spoiling your hair texture.

    2. Using Two In One Shampoo/Conditioner If you think it is a good deal, you are highly mistaken. Shampoo and conditioner both have different jobs for the hair. The shampoo helps in cleaning up your pores and it also helps to get rid of accumulated dirt. Conditioner, on the other hand, acts as a moisturising agent. Don't bother using 2-in-1 products and instead get different items.

    3. Over Styling Sometimes the fragrance of hair products can make you use it more than necessary. Applying hair styling products excessively can be disastrous for your follicles. Instead, invest in a decent comb and hair styling products. Be it wax or gels, choose it as per your hair type to get the most out of it and avoid hair mistakes.
    © istock
    4. Wrong Hairstyle Your favourite actor can probably pull off a particular hairstyle because it suits the face type. Now, if you plan on getting something similar impulsively, well, that will be the biggest mistake of your life. Don't get carried away and let the hairdresser do his job. Check for hairstyles that suit your face type and then recreate it in versatile ways.

    The 77th Golden Globe Awards just took place in Hollywood and we weren't shocked with the results. Well, at least not where Joaquin Phoenix was concerned! The actor won a Golden Globe for best actor in a motion picture drama for his role as a troubled Arthur Fleck in Joker.
    While winning the award is one thing, giving one hell of an acceptance speech is another and that's exactly what Phoenix ended up doing at the Beverly Hills Hotel. After acknowledging his fellow nominees in his speech, Phoenix, who has never been keen on award shows as such said- "There is no F***ing best actor".
    © Twitter
    He also went on to thank Todd Philips, the writer and director of Joker and also said, "I'm such a pain in the ass, I cannot believe you put up with me.” in his speech. Even though a lot of his speech was bleeped while he was on stage (since he used a lot of 'F-word'), he nailed the way he delivered every aspect of it. The words chosen and the sentiments behind those words, everything was appreciated not just by the audience present there but by the Twitter world as well.
    "Contrary to popular belief I don't want to rock the boat. The boat is fucking rocked," is one of the things he said. Phoenix even talked about climate change where he thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for its meat-free meal, while stating "recognizing and acknowledging the link between animal agriculture and climate change. It's a very bold move, making tonight plant-based,”
    "We don't have to take private jets to Palm Springs ... I'll try to do better, and I hope you will too." the vegan actor added.

    Not only did Phoenix think the awards are quite useless in general, he also talked about social issues everyone should be concentrating on currently. And he did all this while still celebrating the work of his fellow nominees. Quite an actor, if I may say so myself! Obviously the Twitter fraternity lauded his speech and praised it to no extent!
    Joaquin Phoenix calling out the bullshit of Awards Season and celebrating the work of his fellow nominees! Plus he breaks down while acknowledging Rooney Mara...

    — Miguel Parpadeos (@miguelparpadeos) January 6, 2020 Joaquin Phoenix, maybe the actor of his generation, calls out Hollywood, on live television, for using private jets, but then gets cut off by the orchestra. This is why I hate the Globes.
    — Jordan Ruimy (@mrRuimy) January 6, 2020 Some people weren't truly pleased with his speech.

    — Films to Films (@FilmstoFilms_) January 6, 2020 While his speech got a lot of love and hate, we're more concerned about what he's going to come out with in 2020 and whatever it is, we hope it's as good as his role as Arthur Fleck in Joker.

    The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is one of the most influential cricket boards in the world. Some even believe that they are so powerful that they dominate the International Cricket Council (ICC) because of the unbelievable fan-following the sport enjoys in the country. 
    One would therefore presume that the members of the organisation would be well prepared to combat any sort of crisis ahead of an international match and that too on home turf and not put their reputation in jeopardy. 
    But the first of three T20I matches which was scheduled to take place in Guwahati's Barsapara Stadium would force you to think otherwise.

    Rain is one of the biggest enemies of the game of cricket and it is a mandate for every state-level cricket association to be prepared for dicey weather. However, the Assam Cricket Association did a disappointing job in dealing with the water as the covers used to protect the pitch were reportedly leaking. 
    According to Akash Chopra who was reporting the on-field conditions, the water seemed to be seeping out of the covers and led to the formation of damp patches on the pitch.
    © AP
    As if that wasn't enough, the best counter-solution to the issue that the organisation could come up with was to use vacuum cleaners, hair dryers and steam irons to dry the wet spots!
    Obviously failing in their attempts, the match had to be abandoned without a single ball bowled and the Guwahati crowd didn't get to experience what could have been the first international match in three years.
    Despite the horrible preparation (which was barely any) it was the warm spirit of the fans present at the venue that kept the night alive. While the game was put on hold, the entire Barsapara stadium sang 'Vande Matarum' together and created a memorable moment.

    — BCCI (@BCCI) January 5, 2020 But the rest of the fans weren't as forgiving and roasted the Indian cricket board for their lack of efficiency ahead of the match:

    While growing a long mane, no guy thinks about the patchy beard. Some areas can have bald spots and unless it is a very big problem, everything can be dealt with. Uneven beard growth is due to issues like genetics, stress, lack of proper diet and exercise.
    When these things are not taken into consideration, chances of the sketchy beard are higher. Believe us, not everything is lost. Here are quick hacks on how to fix uneven growth and get a fuller beard, stat.
    1. Grow It Long © istock
    You must have given up the moment your beard started looking a bit out of place. But if you are set to work the patchy beard out, it's worth that you wait for your hair to grow completely. Yes, it could be awkward and you would want to rip it off but just hold on for a while.
    If the patch falls in the middle of your cheek, trim with a low-grade clipper. You need to get creative and shave the gaps wisely to create a flattering face.
    2. Make It Edgy © istock
    If luscious beard seems unattainable, work on your sideburns and neckline. If you trim them, chances of bare patches being visible are higher. What you need to do is place the clippers and razor the areas beneath Adam's apple. It gives an impression of an angular jawline. Try it out.
    3. Treat Your Beard Right © istock
    Slapping moisturisers is not going to hide your patchy beard. Treat them with the utmost care by using an alcohol-free oil or beard balm. You should also use an exfoliator as it helps to get rid of the dead skin cells, aiding proper growth and fuller appearance.
    4. Eat To Grow © istock
    There's no substitute for a better diet and a healthy lifestyle. Incorporating diet rich items like Vitamin B, Vitamin C and Omega 3 helps in hair nourishment. So if you are good with enhancing your diet routine more, stock and snack on healthy items as this help beard bald spots.
    5. Shade The Lines © istock
    Sometimes beard bald spots can be unfixable and if you have tried all the above steps and nothing has changed, use a smarter trick. To counter this issue, experts suggest colouring in. Use an eyebrow pencil and wherever you see a spot, just colour it. Make sure it matches the shade of your beard.

    Resolutions are inevitably part of the New Year for most people. And while it's hard living up to these wonderful resolutions, one can always make them a little more practical so that they're easier to follow through. One of the New Year Resolutions that you should have in 2020 is a great skincare routine to give you a clear face that's free of adult acne, uneven skin tone and fine lines, among other problems. Besides that, there are other grooming issues that you could target with grooming resolutions that could literally turn 2020 around for you.
    1. Try A New Beard Style Life's too short to not dip your toes in new and exciting beard styles. Especially, when you've not found your signature beard style yet. You could try shaving parts of your scruff for a new look, like a thinner moustache or the famous 'pornstar moustache'. And if you don't like the new style, you can always shave it off, no big deal.
    2. Actually Wash Your Face Every Night © Getty images
    Washing your face every night seems like such a chore but then again so is brushing your teeth and we don't forget to do that. Washing your face every night might make a difference in your skin. In 2020, make a conscious effort to cleanse your face each night. You'll get rid of all the dirt caked on your face and get better sleep when you feel refreshed after washing your face.
    3. Use SPF Daily Even in the Winter, the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays can damage our skin, and it can accelerate wrinkling, discoloration, and even lead to skin cancer. So, in 2020, finally, incorporate SPF into your morning routine. Get an SPF30 moisturiser (or higher) with broad-spectrum coverage for all the protection that you need against the sun. This should be an essential product in your grooming stash.
    4. Don't Forget Your Lips © Getty images
    When it comes to skincare, it's so easy to neglect the lips. Don't wait until they're chapped, splitting, or even flaky. Use a lip scrub to get rid of the dead skin and then use lip balm on the regular for fuller, healthy-looking lips.
    5. Hydrate More © Getty images
    Hydrating is especially good for your skin. As a response to the body's dehydration, the skin tends to become dry and flaky, or worse, breaks out. Make sure you're hydrating at all times to make sure that dehydration is not ruining your face.
    6. Moisturise Everything In Sight © Getty images
    While taking care of your skin, don't neglect the rest of the body. That's a lot of skin that hasn't been given any attention. This year, make sure you're taking care of tricky areas like your elbows, knees, your feet, and even your hands. So, stock up on body lotions, foot creams, hand balms, body oils in your grooming stash.
    7. Use Retinol Every Night Retinol is proven to repair skin and reduce wrinkles, fine lines, pore size, acne, dark spots, and so much more. Basically all the good things you need to reverse the stubborn signs of ageing. Try The Ordinary Retinol 1% In Squalane.

    The fans of the Indian cricket team, especially those of the city of Guwahati were heartbroken when the match between their side and the visiting Sri Lankan side was cancelled due to damp patches on the pitch.
    This match would have been really special for two major reasons. One, Indian pacer and the apparent apple of everybody's eyes, Jasprit Bumrah was to return to the field after months of being ruled out with a stress fracture in his lower back. And two, it would have been for the first time in three years that an international match would have taken place here.

    Even though not a single ball was bowled on Sunday, it wasn't a completely dull day at the Barsapara stadium. Instead, the cameras captured a great moment of unity when the entire stadium sang 'Vande Mataram' in unison. 
    Amidst their phone lights flashing all around the field and fans standing in their blue jerseys with the Indian tricolour in their hands, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli walked towards the middle of the pitch with wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant and opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan by his side. 
    The social media handle of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) captured the moment brilliantly and shared the video on Twitter with a caption: “Guwahati, you beauty.”
    Guwahati, you beauty ð#INDvSL pic.twitter.com/QuZAq7i1E3
    — BCCI (@BCCI) January 5, 2020 The spirit of the Guwahati crowd was such that even though they did not get to watch their Men in Blue play the game they love with all their heart, the vibe was similar to the 2011 World Cup final when MS Dhoni smashed that six to end a 28-year-old draught and brought home the trophy at Mumbai's Wankhede stadium. 
    It didn't matter which region of the country you belonged to, or what language you spoke, or what religion you were from, at that moment, in that stadium, you were cheering as an Indian, you were cheering for your team.
    Here's how the people reacted to this incredible moment on social media:

    With talks of implementation of the CAA and the NRC in the country, the government has been trying to 'educate' people about it by organising pro CAA/NRC rally marches. But they aren't just educating ordinary people but have taken the onus upon themselves to educate B-town folks as well.
    © Twitter
    The government planned to organise an 'interactive meeting' with the members of the Hindi film industry on Sunday, 5th January, 2020, to discuss the Citizenship Amendment Act. Some very prominent celebrities such as Karan Johar, Siddharth Roy Kapoor, Kabir Khan, Farhan Akhtar etc. were extended an invite by the Minister of Railway and Commerce, Piyush Goyal and the National Vice-President of BJP, Baijayant Jay Panda.
    Here's the invite:
    © Twitter
    Unfortunately for the government's extensive dinner plans, barely any big celebrity showed up to attend this 'fabulous' dinner discussion. Now we're not sure if they didn't turn up to make a point and oppose the idea of CAA and the NRC altogether or because their schedules were packed to attend the meeting. The dinner did host a few celebrities who actually made it and attended the meeting and dinner. Here are those who made it:
    Prasoon Joshi (Lyricist, Writer, Chairperson CBFC), Kailash Kher (singr), Kunal Kohli (filmmaker), Abhishek Kapoor (filmmaker), Urvashi Rautela (Actor), Bhushan Kumar (producer), Anil Sharma (filmmaker), Shaan (singer), Prahlad Kakkar (Ad filmmaker), Ritesh Sidhwani (producer), Ranvir Shorey (actor), Rahul Rawail (filmmaker).
    Who all from #Bollywood will attend the 'interactive meeting' called by #piyushgoyal & #jaypanda today in Mumbai?
    Lot of names floating around with the #hashtag #BollywoodWakeUp. Few hours to go so let's not speculate. I'll get you each & every name with a pic as they walk in ð
    — Rohit Khilnani (@rohitkhilnani) January 5, 2020 Even though none of the big players from Bollywood really showed up for the dinner, people like Bhushan Kumar, head of T-series and Ritesh Sidhawani of Excel Entertainment were there to fill in for the bigger guns. So, all in all, garnering strength from Bollywood for supporting the CAA and the NRC was a big flop-show and it mostly seemed like the celebrities mutually decided not to show up for this dinner altogether.
