    Last night, Jacqueline Fernandez and Sidharth Malhotra appeared on ‘Koffee With Karan’ together and set the show on fire with their chemistry, fantastic one liners and all that flirting.

    I mean, it was TOO DAMN SEXUAL (and nobody is complaining) and unapologetically so. The best episode of this season, hands down!

    Sidharth Malhotra tried his best but it was Jacqueline who was the clear winner THROUGHOUT. If you missed it (which you shouldn’t have so please think about what you’re doing with your life), we’ve got you covered. Here are the 10 best moments from the show that had us rolling on the floor laughing.
    1. The show started with Karan Johar catching Sidharth off-guard about his playboy image. Sid’s reply was just a trailer of what was to follow.

    2. Karan Johar acted like he knew nothing about anyone and Sidharth Malhotra was quick to call out bullshit on it.

    3. Jacqueline said she knew Arjun Kapoor’s dog’s name. The joke was that Arjun Kapoor doesn’t have one.

    Just wondering…do you think this could be a reason he didn’t appear on this episode?
    4. Jacqueline let out an inappropriate giggle while talking about Sonam Kapoor’s ailing dog and then tried to cover up real fast but the damage had been done.

    5. The time both of them took a shot to making out on a flight and went on to divulge details.
    © HotStar
    6. The time Sid seemed damn serious about making a move on Jacqueline but she continued being a total goofball.
    © HotStar
    7. When Karan Johar asked if any of them had ever been in handcuffs and Jacqueline REALLY needed a moment to figure how to not give it away.
    © HotStar
    8. Basically, Jacqueline didn’t want to answer shit.
    © HotStar
    9. And then, she made this offer that Sidharth couldn’t refuse.
    © HotStar
    10. Jacqueline owned the flirting game with this pick up line, the best one we’ve ever heard.
    © HotStar
    11. And of course, the hysteria that followed was not to be missed.
    © HotStar
    12. When it was his turn, Sid used this not-so-gentlemanly, almost obnoxious pick-up line on Jacqueline and she LITERALLY beat his booty.
    © HotStar
    13. Then came the time when Karan asked both of them to make sexual sounds for the Koffee quiz and Jacqueline was SO good, Sidharth Malhotra got way too distracted.
    © HotStar
    14. Jacqueline was like a *** goddess and nobody on earth was complaining!
    © HotStar
    On an ending note, Jacqueline Fernandez, you were absolute fire on the show. I’m a fan.

    Retro-bit is a company that has been remaking classic gaming consoles for many years now and their latest offering is the Super Retro Boy. The Retro Boy is designed to mimic the feel and design of the original Nintendo Game Boy and it seems like they have built the perfect prototype.
    They could not copy the full design of course since it would lead to copyright infringement and probably get lawyers involved. However, the copy of the iconic handheld device still looks very impressive and can emulate almost every game that released on the Game Boy.
    © Retrobit
    The handheld device is designed in such a way that it can play cartridges designed for the Game Boy, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy colour. People who tested out the handheld console said the controls feel solid and worked like a charm. It can last for up to 10 hours on a single charge and it will come with a 10-in-1 cartridge too.
    © Retrobit
    There are few noticeable design differences, though. The Retro Boy does not have any shoulder buttons which was one the key functionality buttons on the Game Boy Advance. However, the function of the shoulder buttons has been moved to additional face buttons which might prove to be difficult to use given that GBA games very specifically made with keeping those shoulder buttons in mind. 
    Another feature that one cannot ignore is that the handheld console will be using the original Game Boy, Game Boy Color and GBA cartridges. Which means a trip to Palika bazaar might be in the offing soon.

    India’s ODI squad for the upcoming series against England looks like an experimental mix to find out which combination of players and strategies work and which don’t, going forward. This, then, is the beginning of the Kohli era in the shorter formats of the game which requires speed, flexibility and an aggressive mindset to pounce on every opportunity created or presented by the opposition.
    The shorter formats of the game have become more and more competitive with each passing year. After the advent of T20 leagues, a score of 300 is now considered just par even at some of the toughest pitches on the planet. This in turn has put a lot of emphasis on how teams bowl and field, which can make a massive difference to a side defending a below par score. And this is where the selection of the Indian team will need improvement.
    © BCCL
    India’s ODI squad gives a glimpse of what the side will look like at the 2019 world cup in England. The top heavy Indian team will need massive contributions from the likes of Rahul, Dhawan, Kohli and Rahane to have the slightest chance of competing with other teams. What the Indian team will also need to work upon is the lower middle order, apart from defining who the finishers in the side will be. And that is where Rishabh Pant’s development and inclusion in the squad becomes quite necessary.
    The young Rishabh Pant comes without any baggage. The fact that he needs to prove his credentials at the top level of the sport is one of the major reasons why a hungrier Rishabh is better than an old soul like Yuvraj Singh. Yuvraj, as many would point out, is 35 right now and would be 37 at the start of the World Cup in 2019. One look at his recent struggles with injuries and niggles and you get a sense why he isn’t the first choice for the role of a finisher right now.
    Most often there’s no substitute for experience but when talking about the short formats of cricket, fresh legs and a will to prove your credentials on the field often trumps the baggage that experienced players carry in big tournaments. And it’s very easy to say, then, that even a fitter Yuvraj wouldn’t be able to fully justify his role in the side which requires more seamers than part-time spinners.
    © BCCL
    But Yuvraj’s inclusion is not without any thought too. He has been in good form off late having scored close to 600 odd runs before his wedding break. He has also been India’s go-to man in the previous world cup editions. And that is one of the main reasons why Kohli trusts the old guard to support his cause leading up to the big ticket event in 2019. That the tournament will be played in heavy seam conditions is another point of view which seems to have been ignored by selectors and team management alike.
    The Champions Trophy, therefore, will be a big test case for Kohli’s team. It will not only showcase how capable his team is in English condition but it will also bring to fore the improvement areas that the team needs to work upon. It will be a trial by fire for someone like Yuvraj and it would be even better if we can have a look at Pant too in the same team. And who knows, we might as well carry both Yuvraj and Pant to the 2019 WC. Till then, it’s a tough road for both of them and only time will tell what combination the Kohli-Kumble duo decides going forward.

    It’s 70% how you eat and 30% how you work out. People go hard in the gym but fail miserably in the kitchen. It’s not really their fault. It’s the idiotic myths that are always floating around in the gyms. Desi trainers fuel these myths further and people fail to see results. Here are 5 such myths that really need to be addressed.
    Myth 1- Supplements Will Make You Lose Fat And Gain Muscle © Thinkstock/Getty Images
    Get it clear for once and for all: if only your diet, training and recovery are on point, supplements will help you, and that too only a bit. Supplements should make up to no more than 10% of your diet. If there are way too many supplements in your diet log, you need to re-work your eating routine. Invest in good training and nutrition which will make approximately 90% of your serious and lasting gains. Stop hunting for a magical supplement.
    Myth 2- No Carbohydrates After 8pm © Thinkstock/Getty Images
    A lot of dumb coaches propagate this idiotic myth.  But mostly this myth is circulated by either men who don’t lift or men who think running on treadmill will get them abs. They run endlessly and do countless crunches and then go home and starve themselves. The truth is that if you are working out, you need to meet your energy requirements and carbohydrates are the utmost essential source of calorie intake (unless you are on keto or cutting phase of bodybuilding).
    Hence, limiting carbohydrates after a certain time thinking it will lead to fat loss is plain bullshit.
    Myth 3- Thinking Only Total Calories Matter © Thinkstock/Getty Images
    While there’s no doubt that your total caloric intake will determine whether you gain muscle or lose fat weight but unfortunately, that’s not the only thing that matters. Let’s say you are on a 2500kcal Diet to gain muscle. Can you simply consume all the required calories just from carbohydrates, proteins and fats alone? Well, nope, you can’t. You will need a balanced ratio of various macro nutrients, that is, carbs, fats and proteins. What I’ve observed is that someone who’s trying to gain muscle starts putting overemphasis on protein (thanks to the supplement industry) and at the same time starts ignoring carbs, which they don’t know will actually fuel their workout. Similarly, fat dudes just stop eating fats altogether.
    Myth 4 - Eating Fats Make You Fat © Thinkstock/Getty Images
     I can’t tell you how many times people who approach me for fat loss tell me, “I eat almost zero to very little amount of fat but I’m still getting fat or not losing fat”. The reason is simple. They are in most cases overconsuming carbohydrates and ditching fat thinking that fats make them fat. While it’s good to avoid fats from junk food, there is absolutely no need to ditch good fats coming mostly from monounsaturated fat along with some saturated fat. Diets high in fat and carbohydrates make you fat while not just the fats.
    Myth 5 - Proteins Increase The Risk Of Osteoporosis © Thinkstock/Getty Images
    It is commonly believed that eating protein raises blood acidity and leaches calcium from the bones, leading to osteoporosis. Although it is true that a high protein intake increases calcium excretion in the short-term but this effect does not persist in the long-term. The truth is that high protein intake is linked to a massively reduced risk of osteoporosis and fractures in old age. Realistically, dietary protein is as critical as calcium and vitamin D in the prevention of osteoporosis.

    Aditya, a little boy of 6 years, was born with a hole in his heart and this situation could have been under control for his parents, if only they could afford the treatment. His father is a driver and thus the financial position was not in their favour until his own employer became the stamp of humanity that we need in this world. Meena Sriram ended up raising Rs 25 lakhs for Aditya’s treatment and gave him a new lease of life. He had already undergone two surgeries and that added to a lot of debt and no desired results. "More than anything else, I didn't know what to tell my son who kept asking me when he would walk again like any other child. But my employer Meena Sriram and the doctors in Chennai made it happen at a time when I was on the verge of giving up," his father said in an interview.

    Meena is a financial advisor by profession and she managed to raise the fund in a short span of time. She took help from friends, reached out to many doctors in Chennai and help started pouring in for them. In fact, a person in her office who earns Rs 25,000 per month, happily gave her a cheque for Rs 5000. The surgery was a long one and risky, however it was successful.

    It is believed that if you cannot find the goodness in the world around you, then you should become the goodness. People like Meena are the example of hope and determination. The fact that not all humanity is lost is a solace for the world that is losing hope each day.

    Exactly a decade ago, Steve Jobs introduced the world to a new revolutionary idea. A device that has come to define smartphone technology ever since its inception and made Apple the biggest technology company in the world. Many critics considered the first iPhone a flop and little did they know that a bold step by Apple would change the world, as we know it.
    Apple is celebrating the iPhone’s 10th anniversary today remembering the launch of a revolutionary product, which was then described as an iPod with touch controls, an Internet communicating device and a phone that would break boundaries. Steve Jobs’ keynote might be a decade old but his vision of how the phone would be used today is still accurate today. But there are plenty of ways the iPhone changed the world for us and here’s how it achieved the great feat.
    Selfies © Pexels
    Even though I feel the selfie taking phenomenon is an abomination but it is a phenomenon nonetheless. The selfie craze was brought on when phones started equipping front-facing cameras on smartphones.
    Front-facing cameras have been a feature on smartphones since 2003. However, when it first appeared on the iPhone 4, the phenomenon of taking selfies increased exponentially. Even though the front-facing camera was meant for video calls but it wasn’t the only purpose users utilised it for.
    No More Phone Calls © Pexels
    Mobile phones (that’s what we used to call them back then) was used for one purpose and one purpose only – making phone calls. However, thanks to Steve Jobs’ vision of making the iPhone a phenomenal internet communications device, it is now easier to email, text, WhatsApp or tweet that we barely even think of calling anyone anymore.
    Autocorrect The world was sceptical when Apple introduced is a touchscreen phone and killed the physical keyboard. However, Apple had a way to encourage people by introducing autocorrect for their virtual keyboard. However, it also meant that we had to go through the horrors of some hilarious autocorrect moments like below:
    © Damn You Autocorrect
    Autocorrect fails like above have been a part of our social lives every day. However, Apple has since reworked and improved their autocorrect feature but it still acts up from time to time.
    Pinch To Get A Closer Look
    Before we started getting phones with big screen sizes and better clarity, the first iPhone had a screen that would be too small to do anything in it. That also meant that Apple had to introduce a gesture that would enable people to zoom into pictures, texts and any other form of media. This is where Pinch to zoom came in.
    Apps © Reuters
    If you asked me what the word ‘App’ meant a decade ago, I would be baffled. However, today it is an industry worth tens of billions of dollars and every app developer who made millions owe to Apple. The reason why Apple is a huge success is because of the plethora of Apps available on its App store. Because of the App store, companies like Uber, Instagram and Facebook have thrived and it’s only going to get bigger.
    Currently, the app store has over 2 million apps and since the launch of the App store in 2008, people have spent about $40 billion on iOS apps alone.
    Death Of The iPod © Reuters
    With the rise of the iPhone, which could also communicate with iTunes and store music on the same device, it also meant the death of another Apple product. The iPod was revolutionary for digital music and functioned as a spectacular mp3 player. But as iPhone’s sales increased, the demand for the iPod fell. Apple might still sell the iconic mp3 player but they will not be updating it ever again.
    The iPhone is still one of the most important devices today, current Apple CEO Tim Cook noted in a post today “iPhone is an essential part of our customers' lives, and today more than ever it is redefining the way we communicate, entertain, work and live. iPhone set the standard for mobile computing in its first decade and we are just getting started. The best is yet to come”.

    If ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (DDLJ) was shot in the present times, Raj and Simran could have celebrated their wedding reception with Bauji and their respective not-to-be bride and groom; instead of just exchanging glances and running away in the train. Well, we are not talking about any new movie plot, sequel or any new trend in wedding themes. It is the latest proposal of the Indian Railways that might soon allow people to hold their wedding reception at the platform. Even the Railways understand that destination or beach weddings are so passé.

    Sounds fancy? It is economical as well. Practically thinking, you can actually save money and travel time by heading for your honeymoon from the station itself. This fantastic idea is a tool to boost the economy for the sector and will most likely be implemented by the Western Railways at Surat and Navapur stations.
    Reportedly, this suggestion was born after Union Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu ordered the railways sections to come up with interesting plans to increase the profits. So, the concerned groups went ‘off-track’ to come up with this quirky AF scheme. However, there is one thing good about this proposal: you won’t have to tolerate your irritating cousins or nosy relatives nagging you to get married. You can bid farewell to them from the station itself.

    According to reports, “Surat station’s fourth platform has been picked by WR apart from others, like Navapur, one half of which falls in Maharashtra and the other in Gujarat.” Also, one of the senior railway officials mentioned, “Surat station is massive, and there are people there who would actually pay to have their wedding receptions or parties on platforms as well. We will propose platform no. 4 for the project as it has two-three booking offices, which is ideal for these kinds of functions.”

    The officer also explained that since few trains pass through the mentioned stations, planning such events is possible unlike the metropolitan cities and stations like Mumbai which are usually overcrowded. However, there is one question; if this proposal gets accepted, will every guest have to buy a platform ticket or just the invitation card would do?

    So, Monday just got a whole lot better for us, as Vh1 Supersonic announced their second headlining act for the Vh1 Supersonic happening in Pune next month.
    It’s none other than… hold your breath…
    Mackle-f*cking-More!
    © Vh1 Supersonic
    Yes, the Grammy award-winning Macklemore. Yes, the one who released an album with Ryan Lewis; that Macklemore. Yes, the ‘Thrift Shop’ and ‘Can’t Hold Us’ Macklemore! Does it get better than this? Don’t ask us.
    After having us geared up for this new year by announcing Eric Prydz as their first headliner, the guys at Vh1 Supersonic just kicked up a whole other notch and we’re having trouble sitting still at our work stations.
    Phew! Stop toying with our anxiety levels, you guys.

    So often, lives have been lost in road accidents because no one helped the victims on time. The lack of sympathy and the reluctance to get involved in a police case has long discouraged passers-by to rescue accident victims. Of course, there are good Samaritans every now and then who come forward to help. 
    Fortunately, the Delhi government has approved a policy, aptly called the ‘Good Samaritan Policy’, under which people helping accident victims will be rewarded Rs 2000 for their kind gesture. 
    Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said, “This scheme will encourage people to take accident victims to the hospital. Along with Rs 2,000, an appreciation certificate issued by the government will also be given.” 
    © BCCL
    At a time when help often comes late in accident cases, this move should bring much needed relief. Till some time back, helping accident victims had its own set of legal trouble and hassles, but thanks to a PIL filed by SaveLife Foundation, a road safety NGO, the Supreme Court passed a judgment this year safeguarding good samaritans helping in accident cases. 
    “A Supreme Court order with regards to helping accident victims needs to be institutionalised better. That can only be done if people are motivated by giving them assurance that there is a law in place that will protect them. The monetary benefit is a great initiative but money is not the only factor when it comes to helping victims. It is the fear of legal hassles,” HT reported Saji Cherian, director (operations) of SaveLife Foundation. 
    We hope this move encourages people to help accident victims, if not for humanity, for the money at least.

    Jon Hamm a.k.a Don Draper saw so many beards at the Golden Globes that he took the liberty to name the phenomenon Beard Parade 2017. If there’s ever any indication that beards—as a trend—are here to stay, then this was it. And what’s interesting (and refreshing) was that the biggest superstars in H-town—both the Ryans, Timberlake, Hemsworth, etc—wore their finest (read: well-tailored) suits with some messy-ish trim. It's all about proportion!

    It’s the second portion of my Fitbit challenge and progress has been a little slow as compared to last week. I was in Goa, getting enough time to workout and achieve my goals during the day; however, since my return to Delhi, things have slowed down a little. Primarily because I’ve been sick and was not able to achieve my daily step count. 

    Even though I was under the weather, I tried my best to stay active and slowly achieve the step count I needed. So far this week, I managed to get on the treadmill for a quick 4 km run and I will not lie, the drowsiness from the medicine got to me and my main motivation to finish my run was to get to bed as soon as possible before I collapsed from exhaustion. 

    I haven’t done any intense runs this week and for some reason, I am not too bothered by it. However, next week I plan to step up my game once I’m 100%. For now, though, I will take full advantage of shorter runs to compensate for my lack of exercise.

    My week 3 goals are simple; add an extra 20 minutes to my total workout, including both running and weight training sessions. This will not only increase my overall step count but also help in maintaining my heart-rate to increase the stamina I’ll need for the marathon on the 22nd of January.

    I have to be honest here, since I’ve been under the weather and had it not been for the Fitbit challenge, I would have been perfectly okay huddled in my bed, with a hot cup of green tea. However, thanks to this challenge I’m still managing to keep my body active.

    We all remember Nokia, don’t we? Well, they are back (Sort of). Remember HMD? A Finnish company that bought the rights to develop new Nokia phone? They announced on Sunday that the company will be releasing a stylish, inexpensive phone that will be powered by the Android operating system. However, there is one catch, it will exclusively launch in China for now.
    The phone will feature the Snapdragon 430 processor, a 16MP primary camera, 8MP front-facing camera, a 5.5-inch screen and will also sport 4GB of RAM. The body of the phone will be made out of aluminium, a move that was highly unexpected and a rarity in budget phones. The Nokia 6 will be launched in China for 1,700 Yuan which amounts to INR 16, 800.

    China is the world’s biggest and fastest-growing market for smartphones and HMD’s move to release the Nokia reboot reaffirms the fact that they aren’t here to play games anymore. The Chinese smartphone market currently has over 550 million users and in order to sell Nokia 6 in a very competitive market, HMD will have to compete with the likes of Xiaomi, OnePlus, Vivo, Oppo and Huawei.
    Many smartphones enthusiasts wanted to see a premium phone by HMD/Nokia. However, with recent mishandling of the brand by Microsoft, it seems like the decision to release a mid-range device is strategic and safe in order to capture the market. Nokia uses to dominate the global phone market before the launch of Apple’s iPhone and Android smartphones. The company relied on Microsoft’s Windows platform in order to compete. However, they failed to captivate users which eventually led Nokia to get acquired by Microsoft for $7.2 billion.
    However, it is interesting to see as to what HMD might be able to achieve now that Nokia branded phones will feature Android as the operating system.

    Time taken to transform: 3.5 months
    After completing my graduation in April 2016, like any other 21-year-old, I was ready to pursue my education further but we all know that nothing happens the way it should. May 21st, I can never forget this date. My father passed away on this day, following a heart attack and sudden spike in cholesterol. This tragic happening hurtled me into depression and lost all my hopes to live. It was that bad. Depression is the worst state of mind. It makes you feel more miserable with each passing second. As a result of sitting at home and doing nothing all day, I gained more than 10kgs.

    Then one day, everything changed when I saw a guy weighing 89 kilos change into a 77 kg lean muscular, healthy guy in just 3 months. That one picture motivated me to change my lifestyle and take charge. Next day I joined a gym with a goal in my mind. This time I was passionate to achieve something. Within a month I could notice changes in my physique. I did a lot of research on nutrition and different training methods. With the help of proper nutrition and workout regimen, I changed and lost tons of fat and finally started seeing the lean physique I desired for. After posting my transformation story on Instagram and Facebook, I got positive response from people.

    After this, I made 2 motivational videos to motivate people to change their lives. Presently, I'm pursuing my education in the fitness industry as a nutrition consultant with an objective of changing lives by helping people to avoid lifestyle hazards. I really don’t want anyone to suffer like I did after hearing that my father had died because of unhealthy eating habits. He could have lived had he only eaten better. I will guide people to live healthy and to live long enough to watch their kids achieve something. Fitness is not a one day game. It is a lifestyle.

    It is not a surprise that guests that grace the couch on Karan Johar’s chat show slurp coffee and divulge some pretty interesting details about the industry which keeps the gossip mill running. After all, he has the knack of making his guests (read: friends) talk pretty well.

    Even though the current season is being accused of so much political correctness and most guests have been mum about many things, it seems like the next episode will inject some craziness in this season because the guests are none other than B-town’s sass queens, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sonam Kapoor.

    The teasers are already packing a lot of punch and look exactly like we expected. Sonam refused to rate any actress and called herself the ‘best’.

    Kareena hilariously explained the situation of how everyone is moving towards Hollywood. She said ‘sab bus pakad ke jaa rahe hai’.

    Note: This is Shreyas Kamath’s story, who is also the author for the same.
    What is the worst thing that can happen to you as a teenager? For most it might be a heart break or being broke. For me, it was lack of confidence. Fitness was not something that I thought would change my life forever. Like every other young boy, I chose engineering as my passion or I must say I didn't have anything else to do with my life. I was a fat kid who was not fast enough for football, a fat kid who didn't have passion for cricket. I was a kid with no direction in life. I just started working out because I wanted to get out of my house. Who knew that entering into the gym and lifting weights will get me where I am today? I started off at around 90 Kg and truth be told, I don't even remember where I started off because I never thought that I would be sharing my transformation with the world.

    I have always believed that knowledge is limitless and can take you places. I started learning more about the science behind weight training and nutrition. That is when I decided to share my knowledge through my YouTube channel. 

    Starting a YouTube channel changed my life, not because people started recognizing me, but for the simple fact that I was able to handle the negative comments that people used to put on my videos. My confidence went up and I started believing in myself.
    Two years into engineering, I was reading more about functions of the muscles in our body rather than reading about C++ programming and Microprocessors. I decided to compete in a bodybuilding show and I won. Then I shared my transformation video on Youtube. This is when people changed their opinion about me and suddenly people wanted to know what I had to say.

    My engineering results were out. I failed in 7 subjects. I was not proud, but that was when I thought maybe engineering is not meant for me. I was suspended for one year and that is when I had the time to concentrate on my fitness goals and things started falling into place. I decided to quit engineering and of course my parents were not fine with it, but I was stubborn enough to prove to them that I would make a good living without an engineering degree.

    I wanted to set an example. People started asking me to coach them and they were ready to pay me. It took me over 4 years to achieve the physique and level of fitness I have right now. I have trained over 500 people online from all over the world and I strive to train more people including athletes. I know I can do better and I am trying my best to provide a great service to my clients. I am also in the process of launching my own apparel brand ‘INSPIREIGN’ soon. I hope that I can continue making a difference in the lives of people. That makes me happy. I want people to be motivated by what I do rather than how I look. Looks can go away any day, but what you give back will always stay. If the way I look today motivates you to push harder, I wouldn't mind at all.

    The Japanese have always been at the pinnacle of automobile engineering and Honda is one company that stands as proof. Honda has once again stunned the world by bringing out not a self-driven car but a self-riding and self-balancing motorcycle. Yes, a fully functional 2 wheeler bike that will ride itself.
    This Honda Riding Assist, as it is called since it’s still in the concept stage.

    Honda
    Honda revealed the bike at the recent CES 2017 in Nevada. During the demo, the bike sat stationery without any stands whatsoever and the wheels adjusted themselves to keep the bike balanced. Honda claims that once fully developed, the rider of this bike would only have to move and when turning the bike will take care of everything, even the brakes. In case you think that the bike’s fitted with gyroscopes, then you are wrong. Honda has used its latest patented technology called UNI-CUB mobility that lets the user control the device from a smartphone. Hell, we are really living the future!

    It’s no news that China is massively developing. From war tech to space tech and everything in between, China wants to take control of everything. Speaking of space tech, China is all set to install an altitude gravitational wave telescope in Tibet, in close proximity to the actual line of control. The telescope will detect even the faintest of echoes from the outer space which will further help in entangling the big bang theory.

    YouTube
    Code named Ngari Number 1, the giant will be placed 30 km south of Shiquanhe Town in Ngari Prefecture. The project is being led by the Chinese Academy Of Sciences. It is located 5250 meters above the sea level and will be collecting almost absolutely perfect data. Also, it is just the first one in the series of telescopes that China will be installing in the coming year. As far as the Ngari 1 is concerned, it will be functional by 2021.

    YouTube
    Now we all know China and how treacherous it can be. Who knows what they will be snooping on from these giant telescopes? We hope the Indian Government and the Indian Armed Forces keep a hawk’s eye on this.

    The Obamas will never be forgotten. For the diligence, the leadership and the warmth this family brought to the United States and to the rest of the world, Barack Obama and his family will go down in the history books. Not only as the first African-American family in the White House but also as the most prolific leaders to ever run America, the Obamas are every bit an example.
    Sadly though, on the 20th January, Donald J. Trump, easily the most hated American, will replace Barack Obama as the newly elected President Of America. The Obamas will vacate the White House but never will they forget the commitment towards people they led. Day before yesterday, United States first African-American First-Lady, Michelle Obama came out and delivered her goodbye speech. Her eyes were teary and the amount of emotions she was going through while delivering the speech was impeccably reflected in the words she chose to speak. Here, listen to it yourself.  

    President Obama will deliver his last speech as the President of the United States on the 10th of January 2017.

    As reported by ‘The Verge’ Onkyo at CES 2017 unveiled their new diamond headphones that are surely meant for the crème de la crème. These exquisite diamond headphones have been priced at approximately $100,000. The basic idea behind these headphones is to just provide another way for the elite class to “make a statement”.

    The Verge
    The headphones are made using real diamonds and not Swarovski crystals or even glass for that matter. Each set is handcrafted keeping the buyer’s need in mind and the designs may range from $80,000 to $100,000 depending on customization choices and the size of diamonds used.

    The Verge
    Each of these headphones contains 20 karats of diamonds, which are rated between G-H on GIA’s color scale (nearly colorless) and between VVS-VS for clarity. We all know that usually in over-ear headphones the right ear is marked with a red ring. Now, keeping up with the over-the-top theme of these fabulous headphones, to mark the right ear Onkyo has studded the right ear portion with rubies. Other components of the headphone are made with stainless steel and white leather which is believed to be “Ostrich look-alike leather”.

    The Verge
    Even the 3.5mm headphone cord is studded with diamonds which act as buttons for control. Not much is known about the sound quality yet but all we know is that even if you somehow have $100,000 to spare for just a pair of headphones, getting yourself a pair isn’t gonna be easy as they already have a long waiting list.

    If 2016 gave us some spine chilling horror films, 2017 seems to be even more ahead in the game. ‘Rings’ made news with its spooky first trailer sometime back but this new trailer is what will have you clasping to the edge of your seat. ‘Rings’ is a sequel to ‘The Ring’ and ‘The Ring Two’ and given how scary the earlier installments were, we have high expectations from this one! This one is about a group of high school students who are looking for someone who can watch an evil video tape to save their own lives. You’ve got to watch the trailer RIGHT NOW!
