    Cricket is arguably one of the most popular and highly sought after sports in the South Asian region. The sight of young kids mastering the art of batting or bowling in the streets is a common sight. But, no country in the subcontinent has been blessed with the abundance of raw talent, the way Pakistan has over the years.
    Amid adversities in a country like Pakistan, coaching from an early age is not an option for budding cricketers. Rather they are reliant on raw talent coming through to help in the progress of their national team. 
    Former Pakistani speedster Shoaib Akhtar is a classic example. Akhtar, who was regarded as the fastest bowler in the world, rose from penury and virtual illiteracy to reach the pinnacle of the sport. Mohammad Irfan had a similar story where his raw talent helped him rise through the ranks in the national team.
    And, it seems that Pakistan - the land of outrageous pace bowlers - has found another raw talent in a local parantha maker. Hanan Khan, deemed an upcoming talent in the bowling department, has been picked to represent Pakistan's NCA XI side to play two T20 matches against a Malaysian side on 14-15 January at the Gadafi stadium in Lahore.

    A 19-year-old budding star, who aims to don Pakistani jersey in near future, makes paranthas at a roadside diner in Karachi to support his career. Ecstatic about his selection for the NCA side, Hanan also revealed that he was not sure whether the call was for real.
    “When I was first informed by NCA about my selection, I couldn’t believe it. I suspected it was a prank call, so I called them back to make sure that someone’s not messing with me. I am incredibly happy to get this chance,” Hanan was quoted as saying by The Express Tribune.
    He also expressed his gratitude towards the selectors for putting theirfaith in him. “I belong to a region where cricket is not played that much but still the selectors come, watch emerging players and give them chances,” he said.

    Earlier, a blue-eyed Pakistani chaiwala made headlines for his incredibly good looks. The 18-year-old, Arshad Khan, was photographed pouring tea at Islamabad's Sunday Bazaar. His popularity on social media earned him a modelling contract with an online shopping website based in Islamabad.

    A man named Arbab Khizer Hayat from The city of Mardan in Pakistan claims to be the strongest man alive. Standing at 6ft 3 inches tall, Hayat weighs more than 431 kgs. He has been called Pakistan’s very own Hulk and has also been given another incredible nickname- ‘The Incredible Bulk’.

    The 25-year-old gentle giant got his start when he was much younger, “I started gaining weight in my teens but I realised that I wanted to get into weightlifting and strongman championships. So I continued to put on weight,” said Hayat.
    © Facebook
    To maintain his massive frame, he consumes 10,000 calories a day. He has 36 eggs for breakfast and during the rest of the day, he manages to consume five liters of milk as well as more than 3 kgs of meat. 
    Here is a video of him in which he stops a tractor from moving, all while sitting down!
    He is pretty famous in Pakistan and people come to his house to click pictures with him. His ultimate dream is to enter World Wresting Entertainment (WWE). He says- “My aim to become the champion. I am thankful to God for giving me this body. It is a matter of time before I get into the world weightlifting arena; my immediate goal is to enter World Wresting Entertainment (WWE) competitions. I am looking to meet weight targets and I am consulting doctors to keep nutrition going.”

    Well, all the very best to ‘The Incredible Bulk’, may he go on to dominate the WWE world!

    At the age of 14, while you may have been preparing for your board exams or extra-curriculum activities to gain extra marks; this teen is garnering rave reviews for his brilliant creation that has the potential to help the country in the long run. Looking dapper in his blue suit at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit held yesterday, Harshwardhan Zala signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) worth Rs. 5 crore with the state government. The teenage inventor struck a deal with the Department of Science and Technology in Gujarat, to facilitate production of drones which can help detect and defuse land mines in war zones. Woah, this class 10th kid is definitely way ahead of his time and looks like he can beat Spy Kids’ Juni Cortez, in terms of intelligence.

    While other children his age might have been chilling and playing, he was working on three prototypes of the drone and furthering his business plan. More than the drone, it is the idea behind the creation that’s winning people’s hearts. “The inspiration struck when I was watching television and learned that a large number of soldiers succumb to injuries sustained due to landmine blasts while defusing them manually,” said Zala who started working on the prototype in 2016. Reportedly, Zala spent Rs. 5 lakh on the prototypes – the first two were financed (Rs. 2 lakh) by his parents while the third one was funded (Rs. 3 lakh) by the state.

    So, what’s so special about this drone? According to Zala, it is “equipped with infrared, RGB sensors and thermal meter along with a 21-megapixel camera with a mechanical shutter that can take high resolution pictures as well.” Further, the drone is capable of sending out waves that can over 8 sq. meters while flying two feet above the surface. Zala further added, “The drone also carries a bomb weighing 50 gram that can be used to destroy the landmine.” 
    This young prodigy has already set up his own company called ‘Aerobotics’ and registered a patent under his name. A student of Sarvoday Vidhyamandir, Bapunagar, Zala started making drones on his own and also set up an interface with a base station. He later fixed payloads that are capable of detecting landmines. Zala was inspired to get his product patented after a visit to the Google headquarters in the US. 
    This MoU is definitely a stepping stone towards success for Zala and we hope that this dream of his comes true.

    When I first heard John Mayer, it was back in 2005, it was on Vh1. His song, ‘Your Body Is Wonderland’, was doing wonders. Every guy was either playing it for a girl he liked; or every girl was hoping a guy would sing it the way that Mayer did. Ever since, there was no looking back. The next song of John Mayer’s that I heard was ‘Clarity’ and he had me at the first line!
    He came again to my rescue in 2009, with his song ‘Say’. I was going through some pretty trying stuff and was struggling between speaking honestly and hurting people. The song inspired me.
    And again, just like that, there was no looking back. Over time, Mayer became the voice of my soul—he had a song for every emotion, or situation that I had ever been through. And the more people I would meet, the more of his music I shared with them. So, it’s only natural that I would create a playlist of some of my favorite songs by John Mayer that didn’t just resonate with me; but could also be your anthem for life, love and luck…
    So, enjoy.

    I’m not much of a wine drinker, unless you’re talking about mulled wine. Then, I am only ever a wine drinker. And these are the places I went drinking Mulled Wine this season and I suggest you do, too!
    1. Sakleys The Mountain Café © Sakleys The Mountain Cafe
    The interiors are right out of a picture in a frame—from the mountains, cosy with a fireplace, a grandfather chair, antique wood work and earthy tones drape the walls and the tapestry. Why this makes for the perfect place to have mulled wine on a cold winter’s night? For one, you can enjoy it under the stars, on the absolutely romantic terrace that Sakleys has, with your favourite people. Secondly, it simply is the perfect place to indulge in a mulled wine as you sink into one of the coziest nooks of the café.
    2. The Hungry Monkey © The Hungry Monkey
    The Hungry Monkey is easily a place you can come in unattached and still fall in love. What makes it better? The winter chill, the cosy interiors with an understated ambience and a glass of what I like to call some of the best mulled wine I’ve ever had. For maximum effect, sit on the rooftop, under the starry sky with a friend, or two… or maybe someone you’re on a date with and enjoy the mulled wine. I tend to choose the one with a hint of cinnamon.
    3. Lodi The Garden Restaurant © Zomato
    It’s out in the open—yes, there’s also a private inside space, if you choose—facing the quaint locale of the Lodhi road area. There’s a wooden décor bar and a menu that serves some of the most delectable lamb I’ve ever had. Add to this the perfection of a glass of mulled wine during weather like this and you’re sorted. There’s literally nothing that a glass of mulled wine conquer, really.
    4. Q’la © Qla
    It’s quiet, private and it’s one of the few places where you get the most personalized attendance by the staff, all of whom know their white wines from the red wines, can make you some of the finest suggestions of food and wine pairings. So, yes, if you have a list of places to check off for the best mulled wine in Delhi, it should definitely be in that list. From best variations to pairings with the variations, you’ll be sorted with the best of the best.
    5. Olive Qutub © Olive Qutub
    What makes Olive one of my favourite places during winter is the festive air that engulfs you as soon as you enter. That and the exemplary food is really the only combination that matters on most days during winter, anyway. But then, you should leave all else and try the mulled wine while indulging in the mood, the music and the ambience.

    No one can give Ranveer Singh any amount of competition when it comes to being a great boyfriend to his lady love. He is the best boyfriend in the world (he knows it and says it too!) and that has been sealed with time.  It shows in the way he looks at her.

    Or the way he tries to woo her, every chance he gets.

    In fact, their crackling chemistry set the cash registers ringing and broke our screen when they swooned us in ‘Ram Leela’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’.


    They set major couple goals that were equivalent to climbing the Himalayas, a bar set so high, that no one could come close. Hell, they are even best friends.

    So when rumours started floating around that they have probably broken up, the sky fell down for every fan that was rooting for the #DeepVeer story to see the morning sun. However, Ranveer shifted the onus on their romance back again after they were spotted together, hand in hand with each other, as they walked in for the premiere of Deepika’s Hollywood outing.

    The growth of Olympic Indian sports has brought in a new zeal to imbibe a sports culture in the next generation but it’s still a fairly new phenomenon. In a country of a billion people, we still have to constantly search for the next superstar in sports and that is one of the reasons why a successful athlete is highly respected and revered in our country. And so, it did not come as a surprise that when Sindhu won the silver in Olympics, losing to Marin of Spain, she was showered with cash prices and endorsement deals worth millions.
    Marin, by those standards was underwhelmed when she got a cash handout of just 94,000 Euros from the Spanish government on winning the Gold. One of the major reasons for it was the middling popularity of Badminton as a sport in Spain. In a football crazy country, it’s very difficult to hog the limelight, especially when you are just one of the many medal winners from your country.

    Speaking on the sidelines of Premier Badminton League, Marin said that although there is a huge gap in payout playing for Spain, she isn’t too concerned about the cash prize. “I heard she (Sindhu) got millions. That’s huge. I, too, got some cash award from the Spanish government. I actually roughly received 10-15% of the money Sindhu got, but this is a great indicator that the sport is so popular here. Back in Spain, it’s only popular in certain regions; even there the craze isn't this big. So the country is a model of sorts for commercial development of the sport,” she said. Sindhu, in comparison earned more than Rs 13 Crores in cash prizes after the Olympics.
    But things are slowly changing for Marin too. People here in India, especially in the badminton circuit identify her as one of the best players to come out from Europe in recent times. Her net play along with the indomitable strength for longer games is something that the Indian baddies need to learn from. And slowly but surely, Marin has carved an off-court identity of her own.

    “I have a lot of fans here. People have started recognizing me. People wait for me at the airports, the hotels and ask for selfies and autographs,” she signs off while speaking to India Express, with a renewed hope that someday she might have the cult following that Saina and Sindhu do in India.

    We as human beings have always been insecure when it comes to robots replacing us and stealing our jobs. In some case that is true and for good reason, but for every robot that manufactures your car, there is a cute little robot out there that just wants to make you smile.

    Peeqo, is a robot which is capable of responding to your voice and can react/reply entirely in GIFs. It is one of the few bots that is a desk companion which is meant to entertain you or even make you feel loved. What’s even more surprising is that Abhishek Singh, an inventor and innovator who has been experimenting with artificial intelligence and robotics for a very long time, built this robot.

    After the robot got some ridiculously positive feedback from Reddit and Imgur users, Singh posted a video on YouTube explaining how he managed to build this robot and what it is capable of.

    The hottest woman in Bollywood right now, Lisa Haydon, is what dreams are made of. A killer body, drop-dead gorgeous looks, intelligence and an irresistible *** appeal – it’s impossible not to crush over her. But there’s only little people know about her personal life. Here are some interesting, lesser known facts about Lisa Haydon that show she’s so much more than a hot face.
    Lisa Haydon was originally named Elisabeth Marie Haydon, by her Australian mother Anna Haydon and Malayalee father Venkat.

    Lisa Haydon was always passionate about yoga even as a kid. She studied psychology and took up modeling offers in Australia as a side job. It was only in 2007 that she moved to India and blessed the entertainment industry.

    Not many know that Lisa Haydon also owns a brand of organic beauty products. It’s called ‘Naked’ and it sells body lotions.

    Her first ever TV commercial happened in Australia for an anti-stretch marks cream. In India, her first TV commercial was for Hyundai i20. And like they say, there was no looking back.
    Remember her super hot dancing in Manali Trance? You’d be surprised to know that Lisa Haydon is a trained Bharatnatyam dancer. Not only that, she even trained with Shiamak Davar for 5 years. Okay, that explains it all.

    Anil Kapoor spotted Lisa Haydon in a coffee shop and signed her on for her first ever Bollywood film ‘Aisha’. She went to New York to train as an actor for three months before she started shooting for the film.

    The photo frame at the corner my bedside table always brings back memories of the days when I was a fat kid. Until the age of 18, I never thought that there was any need to change my lifestyle or the way I looked. Soon though, I started hovering to the fatter side and the realization kicked in. I understood that I had to change myself.

    I got into fitness and attained a decent, fit body. But it was short lived. I got a new job and the change of multiple work locations in a short span of time hampered my progress and left me with no time or energy to follow a strict regime.  I had to make do with what I had.
    In no time I was back to being fat and sat at 96 kilos at the highest. Soon, I understood that this was getting out of hands and decided that I had to get back to what I was. I began with a strict diet and workout regime. With 29% body fat, it was difficult to get going. But eventually, I returned to form and began working out with great intensity. I ate right and lifted heavy. There were times when I wanted to quit but the dedicated part of me never let me slide. 

    Within 3 months, I had the physique I had dreamt of. I then quit my job and got into fitness, fulltime. I needed to go further and spread this healthy fixation to people. I did a certificate course from the British nutrition council and Nesta, so that I could learn more about fitness in detail. I have helped reverse type 2 diabetes in 22 of my clients as well as hypothyroid and PCOS for female clients. Today, I am proud that I am a nutritionist and I took up this path to help people achieve their goals, stay healthy and look perfect. 

    I achieved this without using any steroids. To this day I only use whey protein and BCAA. Dedication is the key to success. If you follow your regime regularly, you will get there eventually. The route is long, but worth it. As I went ahead on my path, I just used whey protein and nothing else. Your body will change once your mindset does!

    Another song from ‘Raees’ has released and it’s high time we acknowledge Shah Rukh Khan’s superb chemistry with Pakistani actress Mahira Khan. The song is called ‘Udi Udi Jaye’ and apart from its foot tapping music, it makes SRK and Mahira look too damn good!

    There’s a lot of romance, some definite sexual tension and a LOT of Bollywood dancing.

    Kerala is known to have the highest literacy rate and until now we believed it to be true and were jealous AF. However, after looking at this image, all you peeps can go and take a sigh of relief and feel happy about your college or university.   
    Reportedly, Vimal Jyothi Engineering College in Kannur, Kerala, fined a student for laughing in the hostel. If that reason wasn’t weird enough, the receipt issued by the hostel further cracked people up and left them rolling on the floor laughing, because the receipt read ‘Laffing’.

    Having said that, this isn’t the only gemstone dug from the mines of this engineering college’s hostel as another student was fined for what it looks like ‘T.V. cable connection’. Well, here the reason seems legit, but again their mastery over the English language was something hard to ignore. The receipt read “T.V. Kabel Canting’ and the researchers are still trying to decipher what it actually meant. 
    © Facebook
    Although, this receipt is of the year 2013 and the person fined might be ‘laughing’ his ass off right now, we can’t help but ask this question – Why would anyone be fined for laughing unless they snort incessantly and scare others? We mean, did his laughter expose other students to some deadly nuclear gas or any reaction? Why…
    After this incident, now Rakhi Sawant is scared that she might soon be fined for ‘Chitting’.

    The year 2017 has already proved to be the 'year of change' for Indian cricket. From Anurag Thakur's ouster as BCCI supremo to MS Dhoni renouncing his captaincy, the first few weeks of the new year has already proved decisive for India's most popular sport.
    While some of the recent changes have come out as a major jolt for Indian cricket, the latest in the list promises to be productive and will surely be appreciated by the players and fans alike.
    With all eyes on the upcoming ODI series against England, the Indian cricket team has introduced a new jersey for the national side which includes "4D Quickness" and "Zero Distractions" features.
    © Twitter
    According to the BCCI, Team India sponsor - Nike - has come up with the "most innovative kit" for the side after their consultation with the players. "The game has evolved; so have the requirements of the game and the needs of the athletes. Nike designers engaged with the Indian cricket team athletes to help understand their demands to create the most innovative team kit for Team India," BCCI revealed.
    The key feature in the new kit includes "4D Quickness" which provides multi-directional and multi-dimensional stretch for quickness along with tuned breathability that helps with temperature regulation to keel athletes cool.
    On the other hand, the "Zero Distractions" feature will help the Indian cricketers to minimize distractions and maximize performance on the field.

    In a bid to inspire young athletes to play sport, the Indian national team members also gave a sneak peek into their early challenges and how their self-belief enabled them to reach the pinnacle of the sport.

    India's newly-appointed limited-overs captain spoke about the importance of treating sport and life equally and told BCCI, "We have always been told to treat life and sport differently, which is very wrong. On the field, we are encouraged to take risks but then in life you need to be safe! It’s a huge gap that needs to be bridged."
    "Cricket has taught me everything I know about life. I truly believe that sport helps shape your character as an individual; all you need is to believe in yourself. The self-belief that I learnt on the field makes me believe that I can accomplish anything on or off the field,” he added.

    India's T20 skipper who recently guided her side to the Asia Cup title shared the early struggles she faced in her cricketing career. "I started playing cricket with the boys and I loved the sport from the first time I held a bat. People didn’t want me to play cricket, they said you don’t have a future in it. Surrendering under pressure I attended a hockey camp but that just reinstated my love for cricket," Harmanpreet told BCCI.
    "I believed I could play for the Indian team one day; but first I needed to play in a women’s team to get noticed. The biggest struggle was to get 11 girls on the field to make a team; I remember even coaching the girls at every practice session,” she concluded.

    Amid innumerable technological advancements, the game of cricket has also evolved over the years. And, so have the requirements of the game, instigating a drastic change in the needs of the athletes. India's most-successful captain of all time, MS Dhoni, gave his insight on the new kit.
    "The game has been evolving over the years and the need to have kits that are designed to suit the modern game has always been the priority for the team management and Nike. Features like the 4D quickness and Zero distractions will definitely help the team on the field," he told BCCI.
    Team India's new ODI jersey will be available at select Nike retail from 12 January, 2017.

    HTC is all ready to kick-start their 2017 campaign with a brand new flagship phone: The U Ultra. This 5.7-inch device is the latest addition the new U series of smartphones by HTC and sports humbler specs. It even has a new Sense Companion i.e. their very own AI assistant. Much like LG’s V20, the phone will also have a second screen on the top of the device for quicker access to apps and other settings. The phone also follows in the same footsteps as the iPhone, Moto Z and HTC bolt, as the U Ultra will not be featuring a headphone jack!
    However, the most prominent thing you will notice is the design of the phone. It is shockingly glossy which might be a turn-off for a lot of HTC fans out there. HTC has incorporated an all-glass exterior, which they like to call ‘Liquid Surface construction’. They have apparently tried to mimic a liquid surface as they created materials that would compliment the design property. The surface of the phone is very smooth which means if the phone is covered with a case it will probably slip out of your hand. 
    The second screen that is on top of the phone is a 2-inch strip that resides to the right of the front end of the phone. The 5.7-inch main screen uses the Super LCD 5 display which enables it to project Quad HD resolution. The U Ultra also has a Snapdragon 821 chipset and 4 GB of RAM. It comes with two different storage options i.e. 64 GB and 128 GB, however, the memory can be expanded up to 2TB as the phone has a MicroSD slot.
    © BCCL
    The camera on the phone has been upgraded from the previous iteration i.e. it now has phase-detection autofocus. Apart from the camera remains unchanged as it features a 12-megapixel ultra sensor with an f/1.8 aperture.  What is a little baffling is that the front camera of the U Ultra has a 16-megapixel sensor? 
    The phone has a 3,000 mAh battery that might prove to be on the small side since the large display might consume it super rapidly. The phone will ship with Android Nougat on board which might be a sign of relief for HTC fans.
    © HTC
    The missing headphone jack will be compensated with the bundled Usonic earphones, which will use the phone’s USB Type-C port for an audio output. In a statement by HTC, the company said: 
    “We removed the headphone jack because we believe the audio experience on the phone can be so much more than just the simple transmission of sound. The sonar-like capabilities of USonic wouldn’t be possible with a 3.5mm headphone jack. We have microphones built into both earbuds that “listen” for sonic pulses, which can then adjust your audio to match your ears’ unique architecture. We believe the market is ready to push audio into new innovations that benefit consumers’ listening experience.”

    There is no further news as to when the device will be available for sale in India, however the U Ultra was announced for $749 in the US.

    If music can touch the soul, a writer can help you see it. The one thing novelist Haruki Murakami does best is delve deep into the human psyche. He is the writer who can build a fantasy land from the inner core of the human mind. A gifted novelist, he weaves narratives whose somber and surreal quality transports the reader into another world, and makes him live a lifetime into the recesses of the human mind. We collated a few quotes by Haruki Murakami that are so acute they life lessons in themselves.

    French DJ and hitmaker David Guetta’s Bangalore concert, scheduled for Thursday night, has been scrapped—with the organizers citing “law and order situation” (alleged molestation on New Year’s Eve anyone?)—as the primary reason. The 49-year-old EDM producer—who gave us bangers like 'Titanium', 'She Wolf', 'When Love Takes Over', etc—is on a four-city tour which was expected to begin from Bengaluru and then move to Mumbai, Hyderabad, and New Delhi.
    © HDpixels
    Karan Singh, CEO, Sunburn said in a statement, "Due to the present law & order situation in Bengaluru following the events that transpired around New Year's Eve, the authorities have recommended against holding the David Guetta concert scheduled today in the city. We at Sunburn tried our very best to make it happen but the authorities understandably are not prepared to take any chances. Hence today's concert, unfortunately, stands cancelled,"

    Even though the organizers want to “reschedule” the concert, there’s no clarity now if they’ll actually be able to. Ouch! Sorry, Bangalore. Better behave next time.

    Get ready as Facebook is all ready to make your experience on the platform even more annoying than ever before. If you like to spend your time watching videos on Facebook, well you’re shit out of luck. The social media giant is amidst launching a plague of ‘mid-roll’ video adverts that will start playing 20 seconds into each video. 
    Imagine if you are in the middle of watching a hilarious video and all of a sudden you’re interrupted by a Salman Khan Chaddi-Banyan advert. Now that would be a painful sight for all of us, wouldn’t it? 
    These ‘mid-roll’ adverts are now being tested and will only run after viewers have seen a video for 20 seconds. There is no word as to this applicable to Live videos as well but it seems very likely that this will be implemented. 
    Facebook will also be introducing adverts to Instagram stories where content creators and businesses can sponsor adverts and post a series of photos/videos that will disappear after 24 hours. 
    © BCCL

    The love for Punjabi culture is infectious and if you ask anyone to describe their Punjabi friend, then chances are they will unanimously shout ‘FUN’, good food, a big heart, oodles of warmth and fuzzy hugs, crazy dance moves and forever smiling, as those are some stand-out traits of Punjabi people. Besides India, Canada is a hub where a ‘mini’ Punjab resides.

    Something stupendous happened recently when Gurdeep Pandher, a Punjabi author and a resident of Whitehorse met the mayor and did something that any fun Punjabi friend would do. He taught the Mayor how to tie a turban and taught him a few Bhangra moves as well!

    Mr. Dan Curtis, the Mayor of City Of Whitehorse, will go down in history as the first Canadian Mayor to learn how to tie a turban.

    He seemed to enjoy the whole process and was pretty keen to understand how it works.

    That’s not all, Gurdeep then taught him a few Bhangra moves.

    The jolly good fellow that he is, Mr. Dan confessed that it was one of the most memorable moments of his life and he had a lot of fun.

    Canada is rich in Punjabi spirit and this is proof.

    A typical modern-day cricketer, Virat Kohli plays his game aggressively, bares his emotions loudly in public, yet somehow manages to retain the element of maturity that forms an integral part of a great player.
    While monikers such as brash, arrogant were initially bestowed upon him as he struggled to balance his career and the adulation that came with the success, Kohli, over the years, learned from his mistakes to reach the pinnacle of the sport.
    Today, he is recognised for his consistency with the bat and his growing maturity that also led to his appointment as India's captain across all formats. For a man who relishes performing under pressure, Kohli has established himself as an accomplished strokeplayer, capable of taking on the opposition bowlers at will.
    His exploits on the field and never-say-die attitude have also made him one of the most popular cricketer across the globe. Apart from entertaining the fans with his batting prowess, Kohli has also been a huge hit off the field.
    Whether it's his workout videos or analogy on a social issue, Kohli loved by his fans on social media. And, today, in a bid to quiz his fans, Kohli shared an old photograph of his yesteryears on his Twitter handle.
    Good old days ??
    Spot me in the picture ? ?#Throwback pic.twitter.com/1ge18EReDT
    — Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) January 12, 2017 The right-hander dared his fans to spot him in the photograph which has already received over 5,000 likes on Twitter. Though it's not really tough to find the Delhi dasher, in case you can't, try looking for a black sweat-band.

    Self-driving cars have been on the rise and have essentially hit the roads in 2016 and it seems like the way forward for mankind. Companies started developing complex frameworks and artificial intelligence in order to incorporate these cars. These algorithms developed by engineers will use textbooks and courses as a reference in order for the AI to learn how to drive cars by themselves.

    However, a company called DeepDrive has now come up with a project that uses the popular crime franchise GTA V (Grand Theft Auto) as a digital proving ground for their artificial intelligence. GTA as a game has environments that are populated cities and traffic conditions that come close real-life scenarios.

    The DeepDrive team elaborates: 
    “The high fidelity and vast open world provided by GTAV also presents the most complex virtual RL environment to date for testing the sensorimotor AI. This allows a new level of testing for safety in AI as existing environments don’t offer the same opportunities for reward hacking, distributional shift, and negative side effects. Finally, developing self-driving cars out in the open provides a level of transparency not usually seen in AI applications and in an area where it is crucial to have visibility into both the safety and correctness of the system.”
    I’ve spent countless amount of hours on GTA to improve my driving ‘habits’ and have always failed because the game sometimes felt too real for my liking. However, this reality in GTA might just aid researchers and engineers in developing AI that would be perfect for a self-driven car. 
    Let’s hope the AI doesn’t learn how to do this:

    A few days, the whole nation was shocked when BSF Jawan Tej Bahadur made some startling revelations about the poor food quality that the jawans have to deal with. Surviving in extreme climatic conditions is very difficult and eating bad food is the last thing you want. Reportedly, the jawan also said that he had been transferred from the BSF camp to the headquarters and given a plumber’s job.

    Now, another video has surfaced where a CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) soldier, Constable Jeet Singh, asks PM Narendra Modi to look into the facilities that are being provided to the paramilitary forces. The constable is currently deployed in Mount Abu and points out the discrimination between the army and the paramilitary forces. On one hand where the soldiers from the army are given pension, the paramilitary personnel are deprived from it even after 20 years of service. The Constable also stated how despite working selflessly for the country, they don’t even have the ex-servicemen quota or medical facilities. 
    He even drew comparisons between teachers and the CRPF jawans where the former gets to enjoy paid leaves and take home a hefty salary while the latter can’t even expect spending some quality time with their loved ones. “Why this discrimination against us?” said a disheartened Jeet Singh, whose pension has been stopped and who does not receive any kind of perks like medical facilities, canteen facilities or One Rank One Pension. While we are sitting in the comfort of our homes and offices, these jawans are risking their lives to maintain law and order in the borders of our country. If the government can’t even provide the basic amenities to them, then it’s a failure on the part of the whole country for our inability to take notice of such extreme and difficult conditions they are facing.

    Shah Rukh Khan arrived at the launch of Dabboo Ratnani’s calendar last night looking fresh AF in a not-so-traditional biker jacket paired with a distressed T-shirt and faded jeans. The 53-year-old superstar looked absolutely wrinkle free while sporting a slight scruff, and a silver watch that was definitely worth many paychecks...

    Celebrities using fashion trends (slogans) to make statements is definitely not a new trend, but Mr. Khan’s take is. The jacket—with RAEES embroidered on the back—is charming. It is also a big proof that the back slogan trend is definitely something to watch out for.

    MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh have been the best of buddies ever since the duo arrived at the international circuit. The two destructive batsmen have been a vital cog in India's middle-order over the years.
    While Yuvi has always been backed by Captain Cool, Dhoni, too, has found nothing but praise from the Punjabi southpaw. The duo share a bromance like no other in the Indian team.
    So, when Dhoni walked out as captain for the very last time during India A's clash against England’s XI in the recent warm-up match, Yuvraj had planned something special for his beloved skipper.
    In what appeared to be a candid interview in the dressing room, Yuvraj asked some important questions while exchanging a whole lot of pleasantries with Dhoni.
    Well done @mahi7781 on your career as captain ! 3 major wins 2 w cups ?☝?⭐️⭐️⭐️ time to unleash the old dhoni??
    A video posted by Yuvraj Singh (@yuvisofficial) on Jan 10, 2017 at 9:53am PST
    Dhoni and Yuvraj were once again at their prolific best as they thrashed the English bowlers all around the park. While Dhoni looked amazing in his unbeaten knock of 68 runs, Yuvraj, too, appeared to be in good form during his 56-run innings.
    Despite their contribution and Ambati Rayudu's blistering hundred, India A emerged on the losing side following England XI's three-wicket win. But, even if India A lost the warm-up tie, the sight of a free-flowing Dhoni and a revamped Yuvi is certainly a sign of good things to come in the upcoming series against England.

    A while ago we took a shadowy trip down the Deep Web (Also called the Dark Web) and shed some light on what really goes on there. However, there were a few things we missed out while talking about what can be bought from the Dark Web. Since the Deep Web is actually bigger than the basic Internet we all use every day, there are a bunch of goods and services (some weird and some downright crazy) that can be bought anonymously. The Deep Web was developed by the US Government and since then a ton of unregulated marketplaces have emerged where anyone can buy pretty much anything. Here, we list down some of the weirdest things for sale that we came across on the Deep Web
    1. Credit Card Numbers
    There are specific Dark Web sites that sell stolen credit card numbers at an incredibly low price. They sell these credit cards in batches of 100 and the reason why they are sold in bulk because there is a high chance that many of them have already been cancelled. 
    2. Fake Passport and Identity Cards  © 4Chan
    You can even buy yourself a fake passport and there is a website that claims it sells identification documents from virtually every country. If you are interested in getting yourself an American Passport, be prepared to shell out thousands of dollars. 
    3. Organic Weed © 4Chan
    I personally have friends who have used this service and they only like to buy the best. Apparently, you can buy organic weed from the Netherlands and if you are interested in other varieties, apparently every strain and potency of ganja can be found on the Deep Web. 
    4. Stolen Netflix Accounts © Netflix
    If you are too cheap to pay Rs 500 per month to watch original Netflix content, fear not as you can buy plenty of stolen Netflix accounts for just Rs 70. 
    5. Fake College Degrees © 4Chan
    Are you looking to get a new job and want to have impressive credentials? You can buy yourself a fake degree to fool your future employers. It will get delivered to your home and you can have it framed as well. 
    6. Ricin © Wikipedia
    Ricin is one of the most toxic poisons you can find that occurs naturally and a size of a few grams of table salt can kill a human being. Ricin can be mixed with your food and it can be bought on the Deep Web. It is available on a Deep Web site called ‘Dark Market Reloaded’. A 20-year-old man from the US was imprisoned for 9 years as he was caught selling the deadly poison. 
    7. Plastic Explosives © 4Chan
    A journalist from Sabotage Times managed to talk to a Dark Web seller and was able to acquire huge quantities of C4 plastic explosives. Damn son! 
    8. A Private Jet © YouTube
    The Daily Mirror managed to find a Gulfstream Jet on sale and it was available for a relative bargain of $200,000. The jet was available for sale on Silk Route but we’re sure you can find other jets for your needs. 
    9. Rocket Launchers © YouTube
    Apart from your regular guns and ammunitions, The Armory (a weapons Deep Web site) sells rocket launchers on their marketplace. You can also get yourself a knockoff AK-47 or a grenade launcher. However, The Armory assures that they do not sell to known terrorist organisations (because terrorists like to reveal who they work for, right?) 
    10. Child Spirits © 4Chan
    Now this is when things get really weird. You can buy ghosts and spirits of deceased children. The ****? How does one even put a value on a child’s spirit? I mean do I go and say ‘Can I have a dead child’s spirit for 100 bucks, please?’ Damn, the internet is weird.
