    One of the biggest markers of a progressive society is the way it treats its women. Molestation, domestic violence, honour killings are still rampant. The Bengaluru mass molestation incident is still fresh in public memory and so is David Guetta’s cancelled concert and the inability of the authorities to safeguard women. Amidst the disheartening atmosphere, singer Atif Aslam took a stand against eve-teasing, setting a clear example for all the other men out there. 
    Performing at a concert at DHA Sports Club in Karachi, the singer spotted a young girl in the audience who was being eve-teased by a group of men, standing next to her in the crowd. Signaling the other artists to stop the music, Aslam paused the concert and called out to the group of men who were misbehaving. 
    Tumne kabhi ladki nahi dekhi hai? Tumhari maa behen bhi ho sakti hai yahan par.” [Haven’t you seen a girl before? It could have been your mother or sister here.”]

    — صبا ? (@Saba_Sayss) January 15, 2017 He instructed his team to rescue the girl and together they pulled her onto the stage and immediately escorted her backstage. 
    Eve-teasing or any kind of assault should never be acceptable, no matter the time, place and circumstance. It is time all of us start reacting, and raise our voice if and whenever we witness eve-teasing.

    "From a thin skinny guy to a lean model, from a lean model to a bean bag and from a bean bag, to an aesthetic fitness athlete and nutrition expert", that’s what my transformation story looks like. I am 30 year old MBA graduate, married and a father. While I basically belong to a business family but I was always very passionate about sports. It was like very difficult for me to convince my parents about getting into fitness. Being rebellious in nature, I somehow managed and plunged into my passion. I still remember the day when for the first time I entered the gym and I was like, what the hell Am I going do here and how? As I was supposed to exit the gym without doing anything, suddenly someone called my name and shouted "abey bina workout k hi jaa raha hai kya fatu, kya sirf dekhne aaya hai kya" and I was like who the hell was that? As soon as I turned, I was shocked to see one of my school seniors.  I was stunned to see that he was amazingly transformed. I talked to him and he told me that it took him 2 years attain that physique. He used to be just like me-  a skinny ectomorph. 

    That day, I decided to change myself forever. I started working out like a bull without any guidance and nutrition knowledge. As a result, I found myself more on the bed, rather than being on the gym floor.   I was sore and my nutrition was way off. My ego was talking here, not my determination. Soon, I gathered all my strength and determination, and left my ego at home. But still I had nobody to guide me. I needed to know about proper nutrition and workout schedules. As I belonged to a business class family, money was not an issue. Knowledge and guidance was.

    Back then there was no internet, let alone the concept of online training. My passion didn’t let me stop and over the years I acquired the required knowledge by reading and applying. Today, I stand as the proud co-founder of Muscles and Wellness, an online fitness portal and we are helping more than 20k people in their journey towards a fitter life. Here's the link of my group.

    Last night, Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan made their much awaited appearance on ‘Koffee With Karan’ Season 5 and it was rather underwhelming. Both women who can usually be counted on when it comes to candid confessions and honest (read scandalous) comments brewed a surprisingly cold and tasteless Koffee. Arjun Kapoor’s forced presence only made it worse.
    © StarWorld
    Kareena Kapoor Khan was well, like Karan Johar rightly put, a ‘Greater Kailash aunty’ (and not even a very good one at that) and Sonam Kapoor was trying way too hard to sound sensible. In what was otherwise a major snooze-fest, these were the only 5 moments worth watching. 
    1. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Priyanka Chopra’s alleged rivalry is common knowledge since a long time now. But Kareena acknowledging this universal truth about Priyanka Chopra and her phenomenal success was beautifully honest.
    © StarWorld
    2. Karan Johar tried to catch her off guard with this Shahid-Saif question (which was kinda inevitable, don’t you think?) but she played damn well.
    © StarWorld
    3. And this time when she was mean to Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif for no damn reason but hilarious nonetheless.
    © StarWorld
    4. Asked about Kareena Kapoor’s worst performance, Sonam Kapoor mentioned a certain film called ‘Bewafaa’ and brought to light how Kareena had played his father’s wife in the film and the scene got pretty awkward.

    5. Karan Johar took revenge from Sonam Kapoor on behalf of everyone who watched the show by summarizing her stint on the show using these words.

    We have high hopes from you, PC !

    Priyanka Chopra will be appearing on the next episode of Karan Johar’s talk show ‘Koffee With Karan’ alone because obviously nobody’s good enough to be on the same couch as her. She’s the frikkin’ queen of the entertainment world!
    © Star World
    Star World just released a mini-clip from the episode and it instantly cured us of the cringe-fest that Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s episode was. Also, needless to say, it made us fall in love with her all over again! Not only does she look stunning, she seems to be at her candid best on the show. From failing almost every question in her general knowledge test to answering scandalous questions about ex boyfriends and relationships, PC surely is making the wait for next Sunday harder!  Watch the clip right here!

    The world is full of people who believe in superstitions and there are many who often fall prey to this vicious cycle of blind faith. One such victim was a two-year-old gaunt Nigerian baby, Hope, who was outcast by his own community as they considered him to be a “witch-child”. Call her a ‘guardian angel’ or ‘fairy godmother’, but that child was rescued by a Danish care worker, Anja Ringgren Lovén, last year and we can say that life changed for both of them after that. A German magazine, Ooom recently issued a list of top 100 inspiring individuals and Lovén has topped the list, beating the likes of outgoing US President Barack Obama, the Dalai Lama, Elon Musk, Pope Francis, Charlize Theron and Leonardo DiCaprio to name a few.

    “I became a mother myself 20 months ago and I was thinking of my own son when I saw the boy. For me it was clear at that moment that I would fight with all my strength for him to survive,” said Lovén when she saw the pathetic condition of Hope. Do you remember this picture of Lovén feeding water to the baby? This shows how dedicated and sensitive she is towards her work, and that small child who had to face the brutal wrath of superstitions. Talking about irony, there can’t be a worst example than this!

    The list includes Obama at the second position, actress Charlize Theron in third, Pope Francis and Leoardo DiCaprio in the fourth and fifth positions respectively. Lauding her work, Georg Kindel, Ooom’s Editor-In-Chief and who led the jury, said “Anja Ringgren Lovén is a beacon of hope and the most inspiring person of the year 2016.” Kindel further added, “When she saw the starving child, she acted like a human being and became an inspiration for millions. Her sustained efforts to help the abandoned children of Nigeria, gives us hope and encourages us to follow suit.” Well, we couldn’t agree more.

    The demonetisation drive has completed a nerve-wracking 50 days, but we guess most people still have a long way to go before accepting this step to be a good initiative. The long queues outside banks and ATMs may have reduced, but the cash crunch is still a massive problem, leaving them dependent only on e-wallets and cards. To add to their misery, there are many who have been receiving notes that were initially thought to be fake but turned out to be ‘misprints’. To refresh your memory, not long ago, a farmer withdrew Rs. 2000 from a State Bank of India branch and found Mahatma Gandhi’s image missing from the note. Twitter had a field day with all sorts of jokes being cracked around the issue.
    © Twitter
    This time around, another man received faulty notes from the ATM, however, it wasn’t just Mahatma Gandhi that was missing. It was an entire side that seemed to go on a protest. This incident took place in Segaon Village in Khargone, Madhya Pradesh where a man identified as Hemant Soni, withdrew Rs. 1500 and was shocked to get two Rs. 500 notes with just one side printed. The other side was completely blank! Maybe the bank thought that Soni might be interested in playing Monopoly, since those notes are also blank on one side. Soni later went to the branch, filed a complaint and got those misprinted notes replaced by bank officials.  Check out the video below:
    Reportedly, the bank officials said that they received the misprinted notes from the Reserve Bank of India. “We have changed these ‘misprinted’ currency notes after the consumer’s complaint. We are now checking the currency notes before loading them into the ATMs,” the deputy manager of the bank’s Sabji Mandi main branch told PTI. Check out the video here to see the magic of the demonetisation drive. With society going through a cash crunch and people unable to access online payments every time, this is the last thing you would want to happen to you. Looks like we have a few more months of pain lined up!

    On one hand we talk about equality, but at the same time, we don’t hesitate in implementing special facilities for women. We are not trying to bring any ‘feminist’ angle here, but ‘equal opportunity brings equal responsibility’ and that cannot be ignored. These are the sentiments shared by Army Chief General Bipin Rawat, who said that it’s up to women to decide whether they are willing to join men in the frontlines, in the absence of separate and additional facilities. 
    © Twitter
    "You have to see society as whole. I have said that if we induct women into combat role, they will have to share equal responsibility like their male counterparts...Which means that they will have to perform exactly the same task," said Gen. Rawat while addressing a conference. Women are currently present in the army’s combat arms but not on the frontlines. He also mentioned that men sleep under the tank and cook when out on a mission on tanks and that they don’t get any toilet facilities while patrolling. 
    “So, if all three are in the tank, if it is one woman or two women and a male, if they are all willing to sleep under the tank and if the women folk are willing to accept it... If women are willing to move out in that environment, the women folk themselves need to take a call. Once the women are willing to take this kind of call, we will address this issue,” he further added.

    Now, that’s a very bold and solid statement made by Gen. Rawat and it seems only fair to let the women decide whether they want to go ahead and join combat missions or not, instead of expecting special facilities only for them. As of now, the IAF (Indian Air Force) has inducted women in combat roles.

    Almost every minister gets trolled or faces the wrath of the people on Twitter every other day for some ‘controversial’ stuff, but if there is any minister who has managed to win Twitteratis’ hearts it’s the Minister of External Affairs, Sushma Swaraj. Her prompt response, right use of the platform and getting work done on time has earned her the status of ‘guardian angel’. From helping a man get his wife’s passport to helping a son come back to India for his father’s last rites; Swaraj has proved her mettle time and again. So, messing with such a person on social media is the last thing anyone would want to do especially when there is no solid reason for it but it seems Shobhaa De needed to learn this lesson the hard way. 
    © Reuters
    Last year, Shobhaa De made headlines for her insensitive remarks against Indian athletes competing at the Rio Olympics and this time around she chose to take a dig at Swaraj asking her to 'stop tweeting' and that clearly didn’t go down well with the people.

    I was always underweight and looked very weak. Despite being very active at sports, I was never successful in shaping a physique I always dreamt of. I tried mass gainers, consuming more than 3000 calories but still couldn't see any results. My diet was extremely off and I almost believed that i can never build a great physique. But then I strongly believe that our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Things do not happen, they are made to happen. All things are difficult before they are easy. I had joined a local gym and started weight training. I was majorly misguided by the local gym trainers on the nutrition part. There was a lot of steroid abuse and none of guys were aware about proper nutrition. I decided not to take any sort of anabolics because of the horrific side effects they bring along. Even till date, all the supplements I consume are whey protein, fish oils and multivitamins.


    I started to read and there was a lot of misinformation on the internet as well. While a few websites said it was good to take high protein meals, doctors said high protein meals were not advisable. A few said saturated fats are good and a few said the exact opposite. It was a million dollar task to read all the articles, books and connect the dots and understand the right and wrong. Soon, I had gained a decent amount of knowledge with some trial and error. I started consuming high protein meals and always used to play between carbs and fats. My body started to get better. I could feel my muscles growing and looking better week after week.


    I started to feel more confident and energetic. I cracked my first job interview with pepsico international and was the youngest on role employee. I was placed at the age of 19. I decided not to quit training and diet despite a very stressful job and irregular working hours. I was highly influenced by Kuar Mannava, a very successful trainer from Hyderabad. He was the reason I never quit my journey despite all the odds. I decided to change my job as I couldn't manage time for my training and learning. All these years have taught me that there is no substitute for hard work. I started at 41 kg and today I weigh 60kg with around 8% body fat. Today, I am a NESTA certified sports nutritionist and pursuing my masters in nutrition. 


    Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. That's what I did. I had quit my work and I am now a fulltime fitness consultant and choose my passion every single day. I manage a personal page on my name with more than 27000 followers as on date. Whatever your goal is, never give up and remember, there are no shortcuts to success.

    After fans of David Guetta were left devastated when his Bangalore and Mumbai performances were called off, it was Delhi’s turn to face the brunt. Owing to the fact that the authorities didn’t comply with some required security measures, the concerts were being called off.

    However, all was eventually shaping up well when Sunburn authorities tweeted some crazy piece of news that left all fans dancing with joy.

    The original plan was that he was scheduled to play in Bangalore but the city was left disappointed after it was called off, leaving all fans raging in anger. Guetta even expressed his regret about it but nothing could be done. Anyways, Hyderabad, Delhi and Mumbai fans are still in for a treat!

    Air India has been in the news for quite a while after it was ranked number three in the list of the ‘worst’ airlines in the world. Many people seemed to agree with the ranking and the airline ended up being trolled heavily. 
    © Twitter
    Since the onus shifted to regaining its lost charm, Air India has been busy pushing its PR division and the national carrier has come up with an idea to cater to its travellers to try and make them happy. Air India announced recently that seats will now be reserved for ladies! Say what? The carrier thought this was a fool-proof way of winning hearts and even though some people really liked the idea and the intention behind it, not everyone is happy. 
    Air India starts seat reservation for women. 6 seats on every domestic flight to be reserved for women from Jan 18

    The general consensus was that people were pretty pissed off with the whole situation.
    Dear @airindiain. As a woman, this is insulting. My gender doesn't make me an invalid. This is what modern day sexism looks like https://t.co/BydLuz5vMt

    The intention behind this idea could be the just a PR stunt, but the fact that today we stand for equality, in a country where women are advancing at the speed of light, these reservations aren't winning any hearts. First the Metro, and now the airlines. What next? Reservations on a rickshaw as well?

    An example of the real life ‘Agarwal ji’ ka beta, Anagh Agarwal has gone ahead and done something that is making the entire country take notice. He has become the first Indian to score a full 100% in his SAT exams and has a plethora of opportunities waiting him. A student of the Dhirubhai International School, Anagh was aiming to make it to the prestigious Harvard University to study economics.
    © BCCL
    He even aced the AMT exam with a full score and scored a 1600/1600 in SAT and a 36/36 in AMT, a rare achievement by anyone, actually. "I took it up as a personal challenge. I always wanted to appear for SAT, and I started preparation about five months ago. To appear for ACT was a last-minute decision," said Agarwal.
    © BCCL
    When you can fly, why walk? Anagh has his eyes set on the final goal. "I want to get into investment banking for a short period in the US after completing my studies. Then I intend to return to India and join politics and become the Finance Minister someday”. That is a long shot but he has the determination to achieve anything now. We wish him all the best.

    A former BPO executive, I lived my life at nights and started my days with smoking. Smoking and liquor were my best friends. Of course this is a combination lethal enough to destroy anybody’s health. Then one day, I got seriously ill because of my bad habits. It was a clear warning.  I was off to my native city, living with my parents and for a change, I got a membership at one of the local gyms. Obviously, because of binge eating and an unstructured lifestyle I was overweight and in very bad shape.

    The Real Challenge
    The real challenge for me was to first build my stamina and build strength to lift weights. For this I studied about macro division and got my food intake in line. A structured diet is what compliments your workout. Previously I thought working out at the gym for an hour gives me the liberty to eat whatever I wish to for the rest of the day. But I was dead wrong. Reducing 20% body fat was not easy without proper knowledge and for that, I decided to take one step further and do international fitness and sports nutrition certificate from NESTA. Then I learned how to manipulate protein, carbohydrates and fats, so as to provide my body with the right nutrition. I learned about different diet techniques as well the role of supplements and what all are really important. My basic stack always has been two things –
    1). Whey protein 
    2). Creatine Monohydrate 
    3). Black coffee 
    © MensXP
    Now I am at a stage where I design my own workouts. I am largely influenced by the likes of Jeremy Buendia and his coach, Hany Rambod. I also followed his training method FST7 for a short while, initially. Did I ever feel like giving up, well, honestly, NO. Not even for a single moment because I knew that there's no secret to transforming one's self. It’s all about the right nutrition, discipline and consistency. I could see the results and that’s what kept me going and still doesn’t let me stop. The most important thing was that I trusted the process to the core. During the transformation the most important and basic thing I learned was where the magic lies and it lies nowhere but in our efforts and in our desire to change and progress. 
    © MensXP
    I recently participated in two national physique competitions and placed fairly well. I never thought I would come this far. Something that started as a hobby, transformed me forever. It made me more disciplined and a better human being who is capable enough to now help others.

    MS Dhoni’s first press conference after giving up the captaincy gave a glimpse into how he is planning to make the transition of power to Virat Kohli. Dhoni led India for almost 10 years and captained the ODI side for 199 games. This is what the ex-Indian captain said about his journey as the Indian skipper.
    On Transition From Wicketkeeper Batsman To Captain Dhoni © BCCL
    “As a cricketer, many things have changed for me since 2007. I debuted in 2004, was given the captaincy in 2007. If I see my journey since then, I had to change according to the team's needs. I started in the lower order then moved up the ladder. My batting order was never fixed. I used to get batting for 25-30 overs. However, it changed in the last few years.”
    Whether He Regrets Any Decisions He Made As India Captain © BCCL
    “I don't regret anything in life. There is plenty of good things that have happened. It has been the journey for me. With ups and downs. When I started, there were lot of senior players in the team and once they left we had to ensure the smooth transition. Overall it was a journey that I really enjoyed. Brings smile on the face.”
    His Role As A Wicketkeeper In The Side © BCCL
    “The keeper is always the vice-captain whether announced or not and my role will be to assist Kohli. Different people like different fields so that depends on Virat and I will adapt accordingly. I will be there to give as many suggestions as possible. I will have to consult him and can't go left and right on my own.”
    On His Equation With Virat Kohli © BCCL
    “Virat and I have been very close right from the start. The good thing is that if I go up to him with 100 ideas, he is comfortable to say no to all of them. We share that kind of comfort level. The more I serve Kohli, the better it will be for the Indian team.”
    Why Virat Is Successful As A Batsman © BCCL
    “Some of the players think a lot about missed opportunities. But Virat always thinks positive and makes use of the chances given to him. He always wanted to contribute big. He wasn't just satisfied with 70s & 80s, he wants to go on and make a 100. That is why he is really successful.”
    On Why His Performance As A Finisher Dipped In The Last 3 Years © BCCL
    “The top-order batsmen batted really well and I felt there was no explosive finisher at the lower order and due to that I was batting lower down the order. Over the years, I changed my batting order according to the team's requirements. I am ready to change my batting order according to the responsibility given to me in the times ahead.”
    And Finally, Why It Was The Right Decision To Quit Captaincy © BCCL
    “It made no sense for me to continue. People even questioned me when I quit midway through the Test series in Australia. Sometimes you need to look at the bigger picture. I knew Saha was ready and he deserved a chance. Similarly, Virat is well placed to take over the limited overs captaincy.”

    Are you running out of options and reasons to relieve stress at work? Well, here’s a solution for you as psychologist have now declared that you should masturbate at work! Yep, you read that right. Mark Sergeant, who is a psychology lecturer at Nottingham Trent University, said that a “masturbation break” at work would be "very effective" and a great way to relieve tension and stress. 

    via GIPHY
    Psychologist and life coach Dr Cliff Arnall also agreed with this theory and said-“Certainly taking a masturbation break for boredom or an escape would increase work focus.” He also said that a masturbation policy could definitely result in "more focus, less aggression, higher productivity and more smiling".

    via GIPHY
    However, the Dr Cliff has also admitted to the fact that there could also be quite a lot of drawbacks to this policy. He says that failure to achieve orgasm could further lead to frustration, which would just add to the problem instead of solving it. It could also result in prolonged breaks and unnecessary distraction from work. 

    via GIPHY
    The worst drawback pointed out by him was that this could very easily result in fantasizing about colleagues which would obviously be a harrowing case of inappropriate workplace conduct. 

    via GIPHY
    The root cause of this sudden interest in the ‘Office hour masturbation policy’ seems to be a survey conducted by Time Out New York, which reported that at the end of 2015, 39 % of male readers admitted to masturbating in the office!... OKAY!
    Pretty sure creeps all around the world must be rejoicing after hearing this particular piece of news.

    If you watched ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ recently then you'll remember the blind guy, right? That's Donnie Yen. He's getting a lot of attention in Hollywood recently but don't think he just started acting. He's been a part of Chinese cinema since the 1980's.
    You’ll be seeing him in ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’ next. But before you head to the cinema here are 8 things about the action superstar you didn't know:
    1. You may not remember this, but he was a part of Blade II. Our reaction: Ah, when Wesley Snipes was still relevant.
    2. His most prominent role is that of Ip Man in the movie of the same name. Our reaction: So what if it's dubbed. Watch it now!

    3. Chirrut Imwe wasn't blind originally. That was all Donnie Yen's idea. Our reaction: We wish we went blind after watching Rogue One.

    4. He didn't just play the character Ip Man; he actually learned martial arts from Ip Chun, the eldest son of the real-life Ip Man, to prepare for the role.
    Our reaction: Commitment to the arts?
    5. He's a huge fan of MMA. Our reaction: He got it from his mama.

    6. He was offered a role in The Expendables 2 but turned it down because he didn't find the role intriguing. Our reaction: No one found the Expendables 2 intriguing.

    7. While filming for Ip Man 3, he fractured Mike Tyson's finger. Our reaction: Boost is the secret of his energy.

    8. In his earlier films in the Philippines, he's been credited as Michael Ryan. Our reaction: Who knew Donnie Yen was so tough to pronounce?

    9. He’s a pianist. Our reaction: Aren’t all Chinese expert pianists?

    Piyush Mishra needs no introduction. The poet, lyricist, singer, actor, music director, screenwriter dons many hats. Unapologetically candid and fiercely realistic, Piyush Mishra is a rare gem of modern cinema and theatre. His songs touch the heart and his shayari moves the soul. From powerful hard-hitting songs like ‘Arre Ruk Ja Re Bandeh’ from ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Ik Bagal’ (‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’) to Coke Studio’s beautiful ‘Husna’, Piyush Mishra’s work as a lyricist and singer is a class apart. His powerful satires on society are brutally honest and mince no words. We compiled some of his poetry that stands out for its sheer brilliance and honesty. 
    We just can get enough of this:
    His reply to a beautiful poem by Faiz—
    And nothing can match the poignant ‘Ik Bagal’ from ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’

    The fact that Trump is the next American President is not just a hard-hitting fact for the residents in that country, but the fact that so many Indians reside there and many dream of finding a job there is reason enough that any amendment in any policy will spell despair for us as well. The government there is considering some changes and here are a few things that might smack any Indian vying for jobs there:
    1. Changes In The Eligibility Criteria a. The ‘Protect and Grow American Jobs Act’ have some proposals in hand which might see the light. This includes skipping additional paper work if you have a master’s degree. Most IT professionals from India have a master’s degree which many people from other countries don’t.
    b. The bill might put a cap on companies from hiring more people if it already has more than 50 employees and 50% of them are already on H1 and L1 visa.
    c. The bill will also propose the raise in the minimum salary of H1-B visa holders. The salary hike is being touted to shoot from $60,000 per annum to $100,000 per annum. This move might discourage companies to import people and will force them to opt for US workers only.

    2. Increase In Visa Cost There is already a hike in the fees for H1-B and L-1 visas. In January 2016, the fees for H1-B shot up from $2,000 to $6,000, and $4500 for L-1 visas. Further increase would mean that more companies would employ less international employees.

    Indian IT employees contribute to annual growth in the US and contribute around $1 billion annually. Whether these changes in policies will be for good or for worse, only time can tell.

    Move over possessed clowns and voodoo dolls, this video of a possessed doll is creeping people out and leaving everyone confused and a little scared. The CCTV footage shows a young girl playing with her toy without realizing that another doll at the corner of the room is acting real goddamn spooky AF. A few seconds in the video and the doll can be seen moving its head sideways and back. To be honest, had we been in her place, we would have freaked out and probably peed in our pants. 
    © Facebook
    However, this isn’t the end of the terror as the second part of this video is eerily scary. Here, the little girl is seen scribbling something on a few sheets of paper and suddenly they begin to waver because of a gust of wind. Terrified by the entire incident, she runs away from the table and that’s when the real action begins. You can actually see things moving around on their own, even those as heavy as the table were seen to be changing position.  
    © Facebook
    The security cameras were installed by the girl’s father when she complained of being bothered by something and guess her suspicions weren’t wrong. There are many who are questioning the authenticity of this video, posted by the Facebook page, La Otra Dimensión Though, we don’t know whether this video is real or fake, if there is any truth to it then we guess scientists will have to give us some explanation and if it’s fake, then hats off to the guy who created this spooky video. Check it out here yourself and let us know what you think:

    World War 2 was a scary time for everyone involved. Different countries were at each other’s throats because of different ideas. Whether it was the fascists or the bolsheviks, the war was going to be catastrophic. We have all heard war stories from history books and television documentaries, but WW2 was not started in a day. Nazis were very efficient at running the German Reich, which included its population and manufacturing industry. Germany did not become a war machine overnight because they had help from many major corporations. We list down some popular brands from today that were responsible for Nazi Germany’s success. 
    1. Hugo Boss © YouTube
    Hugo Boss is widely considered as one of the biggest luxury fashion brands in the world. They are popular for making suits and menswear but do you know how Hugo actually started his business? 
    Hugo Boss is responsible for designing and manufacturing the intimidating uniforms of the Waffen-SS. The SS acted as a death squad who were responsible for many lives lost in the Holocaust and the unjust treatment of war prisoners. Hugo Boss himself joined the Nazi Party and won the contract to design the uniform for Hitler’s army. 
    The manufacturing of the Nazi Uniform went so well that Hugo Boss ended up using slave labourers from Poland and France in order to meet the Reich’s needs. 
    2. Kodak © Kodak
    Kodak has been responsible for some of the most memorable family photographs caught on film. However, Kodak was also one of the corporations that utilised slave labour in order to assist the Nazi Government during WW II. Kodak was not only manufacturing cameras back then, they were also making triggers, detonators and other military equipment for the Germans.
    3. Fanta © Reddit, Fanta
    Coca-Cola was one the few American companies that were allowed to operate in Nazi Germany during the war and in 1941, Fanta debuted on the German market. What you need to know is that Coca-Cola was not able to import the cola syrup from the USA due to trade embargoes. In order for Coca-Cola to remain operational, they invented a drink that used local ingredients and the end product turned out to be Fanta. 
    4. BMW © BMW
    BMW has admitted that the company used up to 30,000 slave labourers during the war in order to keep producing engines for the Luftwaffe (German Airforce). These labourers included POWs, inmates and political prisoners that were deemed undesirable by the regime. 
    5. Siemens © Siemens, YouTube
    Siemens used slave labourers during the Holocaust to construct gas chambers that were later used to kill them. These gas chambers were an efficient way to kill Jews and their families which eventually led to death of 6 million of them. 
    In 2001, they even tried to trademark the word Zyklon (Which means cyclone in German) as they wanted to use that word for a line of gas ovens. Zyklon was the name of the gas that was used in their gas chambers to kill Jews at death camps like Auschwitz amongst many others across Europe. 
    6. Ford © Ford
    Henry Ford was infamous for being an anti-Semite and also blamed the Jews for WW I. He was Hitler’s most popular foreign supporter and on his 75th Birthday, Ford received a Nazi Medal for distinguished foreigners. 
    He profited from both sides of the war i.e. he was making cars for both the Nazis and the Allies. 
    7. IBM © IBM
    IBM was responsible for making machines for the Nazis that was able to track almost everything. These machines were used to track oil supplies, train schedules to death camps to even keeping track of individual Holocaust victims themselves. 
    When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, it was reported that over 3 million Jews were going to be removed from society and exterminated. In an internal memo, IBM responded that due to the new ‘situation’, they had to speed up the production of high-speed alphabetizing equipment. 
    8. Bayer © Bayer
    Remember Zyklon B? The chemical gas, which was used in the gas chambers at Auschwitz? It turns out Bayer (Known as IG Farben back then) was the one responsible for manufacturing the deadly gas. They also funded Josef Mengele’s experiments on Jewish children and prisoners. 
    And in case you didn’t know, a Jewish Bayer employee, Arthur Eichengrun, founded Aspirin. However, Bayer did not want to admit to the public that a Jewish man invented one of their most successful product and still gives the credit to a German, to this very day.

    Just Kidding. But Mr. Diesel did look...umm...rather pleased! He was actually just like your embarrassing NRI cousin visiting exotic India for the first time, from a first world country—and insisting on trying out a traditional lungi, idli sambar, and the forever colorful tuk-tuk!

    His partner-in-crime was his 'xXx' co-star and leggy vixen, Deepika Padukone, who wore a lungi too! And danced in it...

    Moral of the story? Deepika knows how to tie a lungi…
