    While the polish actress Erika Kaar is all set to make her Bollywood debut with Ajay Devgan’s directorial venture ‘Shivaay’, her stunning looks are getting her more attention than the movie itself.
    Have a look at just how gorgeous she is

    If you have a ‘Pokémon GO’ hangover or never actually tried it in the first place, then there’s something that will add back the much needed fervour. If you are by any chance a wand buff, Harry Potter addict, dreaming of fighting beasts with a ‘Wingadium Leviosa’ of your own, then even better! ‘Maguss’, an augmented reality game that allows users to have an enriching experience of being a wizard, looks fantastic.
    © YouTube
    The layout is very similar to ‘Pokémon  GO ‘ and you can brew your own potions, find creatures all over  the place and even deal with the evil ones.
    © YouTube

    Are you ready to tap in some ‘Lumos’ of your own?
    © YouTube
    The game does not have any official rights for the ‘Harry Potter’ game or is not recognised by Warner Bros even but still, the wizard lust seems to have been taken care of. The video will give you an insight of the excitement that this game shall offer and it’s worth all the hype.

    A lot of lifters, in the pursuit of aesthetics, ignore strength developing routines. Lifting heavy is not an invitation to injuries, unless of course, if you act like a douchebag and ego lift. But let me put it straight to you: the stronger you’re, the bigger you’re. Strength is a catalyst for the muscle growth reaction and the heavier you can lift, the more muscles you can stimulate. To be honest, nothing beats being BAD-ASS strong. If you’re a beginner you’ll automatically gain strength with each passing day in the gym. But if you’re a lifter who’s past the new-bee gains, you certainly need a concrete path to strength gains. In this article, I’m going to present you a very simple strength periodization protocol by Eric Helms that you can apply in your current training routine. This technique is primarily intended to enhance your strength in compound movements.
    Key terms to understand: Volume: It is the total work load you perform.
    Volume=Set x Reps
    RPE (Rate of pursued exertion): It is basically the measurement of how intense/hard a set was for your muscles.

    Let’s assume your current best on the bench press is 70kg load for 8 REPS at a RPE of 8 i.e. 2 reps shorter of failure. Here’s how applying this periodization technique you can grow your strength.
    Week 1 We will do every set of bench press with 70kg load for 8 reps. The last set might take you close to failure as fatigue kicks in.
    Set Reps Load (in kgs) RPE 1 8 70 8 2 8 70 8 3 8 70 8-9 Week 2: Micro Load Increment © Bodybuilding
    This week you need to increase a micro load 1.25 kg or 2.5 kg whatever you can progress with. You will notice that we have decreased the overall volume by decreasing the reps but that is necessary in order to make steady improvement in strength.
    Set Reps Load (in kgs) RPE 1 7 72.5 8 2 7 72.5 8 3 7 72.5 8-9 Week 3: Micro load increment or maintain same loads This week we cut back on the volume again to make a step forward on the strength gains. Increase the load by a micro-load that you can handle not necessary 2.5 Kg it can be less or slightly more.
    Set Reps Load (in kgs) RPE 1 6 75 8 2 6 75 8-9 3 6 75 8-9 Week 4: Increase load and intensity Set Reps Load (in kgs) RPE 1 5 77.5 9-10 2 5 77.5 9-10 3 5 77.5 9-10 Week 5: De-load week This week we cut back on the volume aggressively by decreasing the reps and sets. We also decrease the loads because it is necessary to give our muscles and central nervous system a period to recover and eradicate the fatigue developed. This is what a de-load week is.
    Set Reps Load (in kgs) RPE 1 7 70 7-8 2 7 70 7-8 Week 6 Set Reps Load (in kgs) RPE 1 8 75 8 2 8 75 8-9 3 8 75 8-9 So, you can see we how we started from 70kg as our load for 8 reps on the bench press at a RPE of 8 and improved it to 75kg. The strength gains you make following this protocol can even be more depending how good your diet and rest is.

    Whether you’re planning to smash it at Supersonic in Pune, chug beer at Nh7 or chill against the amazing backdrop of Alsisar Palace at Magnetic Fields Festival—your festival backpack should be packed with clothes that strike a fine balance between functional and cool. Think cotton basics, a simple goes-with-everything turtleneck, protective layers and boots that will basically protect you from frostbite. And contrary to what your favourite Instagrammers will tell you, you can’t wear a neon tank top. (Well, unless you’re Ranveer Singh. NOPE!)
    Here’s everything you’ll need to hack festival style:

    If there’s one thing done terribly wrong in the Indian gyms, it has the way beginners are made to train. For a beginner every workout session is a huge shock to the body. Making them train 5-6 days a week is like surviving nuclear fallout. If you’re a beginner, follow the guidelines in this article and make the best of your newbie gains.
    Training frequency © Thinkstock
    I have already talked about why training every muscle group twice per week is vital for muscle growth. For a beginner, it is even more important to train every muscle twice in order to get accustomed with the movements of various exercises. To perform a movement precisely, your central nervous systems needs to learn it and to learn anything, you need to practise it more often. Therefore, the bro split (Monday-chest, Tuesday-Back………) training every muscle group once per week doesn’t make any sense.   
    The Fundamental Movements © Bodybuilding
    Muscle building is not entirely about the work load you perform. But another key factor for muscular hypertrophy is progressive overload. 
    You need to get better at the work you’re performing and as a beginner, if you’re spending a lot of time on accessory movements like skull-crushers, cable cross overs and etc you will not learn the fundamental movements like pressing, pull downs, rows, dead lifts, squats, lunges, curls and press downs. Once your newbie phase is over, you will not be able to make progress with the weights. With poor form you can only make limited progress in the weights you lift. Therefore, the first 6-9 months of your training focus completely on learning the fundamental movements correctly.
    Beginner Training Program Below is a beginner’s training program, which I give to my clients having fairly lesser lifting experience. You will be training each muscle group twice per week, concentrating primarily on the fundamentals movements and you will get optimal rest to recover. It might seem too less to some of you. But it is augmented according to a beginner’s body and I’ve made people lose fat and build muscle with this.
    Day 1 Upper Body Excerise Sets Reps Incline bench barbell press 3 10 Barbell rows 4 10 Pec Deck Flies 3 12 Lat Pull Downs 3 12 Bicep Curls 3 15 Day 2 Lower Body Excerise Sets Reps Barbell Squats 3 10 Romanian Deadlifts 3 10 Lunges 3 12 Day 3 , Day 4 Rest Day 5 Upper Body Excerise Sets Reps Pull-ups 3 8 If you can’t do pull ups: Lat Pull Downs 4 10 Decline barbell bench press 3 10 Seated cable rows 4 12 Barbell over head presses 3 10 Pec Deck Flies 3 12 Cable Push Downs 3 15 Day 6 Lower Body Excerise Sets Reps Barbell Squats 3 10 Romanian Deadlifts 3 10 Leg Press 4 15 Day 7 Rest And yes, couple this with proper nutrition and you will reach your goals efficiently and at a steady pace.

    Ever looked at a swanky building, a hotel or a mall, being constructed—the labourers toiling it out in the harsh sun, lifting heavy material on their lanky shoulders, sweat dripping down their muscular yet malnourished bodies tanned from being too much in the sun. When the mall or the plush hotel is done, a security guard is positioned at the entry. Those very people, with their tattered clothes, dishevelled hair, and sunken cheeks are not allowed to enter. The labourers worked to raise a building for a price, and they keep paying it forever. That’s how the world works and capitalism functions. It’s sad, it’s a bitter pill the working class swallows every day.
    Artist Daniel Garcia came up with a brilliant illustration titled ‘Your Own Personal Slaves’ that points to the oppression and modern form of slavery that works to make our comfortable everyday lives possible. 
    © Facebook
    From the coffee we drink to the clothes we wear, hundreds of poor hands work tirelessly to make it happen. We pride ourselves in the lifestyle we have earned for us; we flaunt our clothes and our cars, but we never realise that it’s actually the less fortunate who are actually behind those flawless pieces. The modern consumers, even if unknowingly so, end up being a reason why workers, especially in the third world countries, work in deplorable conditions with a pay that hardly justifies the hard work they do. 
    Sometime back, a report by Amnesty International revealed the horrific working conditions in Democratic Republic of Congo where workers, many of them underage, mine minerals used in smartphones. A documentary by Pulizter Center showed how young children in Congo are forced to work in mines in sub-human conditions, risking their health and lives itself. 
    © Reuters
    This is the sad paradox of our modern lives—we are consumers of luxury and technology, and even if we are sympathetic towards the plight of those less privileged, we might inadvertently be contributing to their misery. Daniel’s illustration is a stark reminder of that paradox and it is important that we spread the message. 
    To see more of his work, check out his Facebook page or visit his website here.
    What's surprising and sad is that the illustration has been banned by Facebook for 'not meeting its community standards.' 
     
     Guess it's up to us now to share the message.

    The British Navy aka the Royal Navy is currently tracking Russian warships that are currently heading towards the English channel and might be passing through. According to sources, the warships are heading towards Syria and will be used for the final assault on Aleppo. 
    The Royal Navy sent a Type 45 Destroyer that sailed on Tuesday to keep an eye on the Russian fleet along with a Type 23 Frigate. They are being used to escort the Russian fleet in the Norwegian Sea, which is set between Iceland and Norway. 
    "When these ships near our waters we will man-mark them every step of the way. We will be watching as part of our steadfast commitment to keeping Britain safe.” says the Ministry of Defence spokesman.
    The Russian Fleet will sail through the English Channel today and into the Mediterranean Sea to eventually reach Syrian shorelines. An anonymous source told Reuters that the Russian Warships are ready for the final assault on Aleppo and are equipped with fighter bombers. 
    © AP
    The source also said: "They are deploying all of the northern fleet and much of the Baltic fleet in the largest surface deployment since the end of the Cold War.
    "This is not a friendly port call. In two weeks, we will see a crescendo of air attacks on Aleppo as part of Russia's strategy to declare victory there.
    "With this assault, it should be enough to allow a Russian exit strategy if Moscow believes Assad is now stable enough to survive." 
    Russia has a track record of using ships to shadow ulterior motives and false flag operations which the British Government is not ready to take a chance with. Russia is known to conduct illegal activities through official channels in order to push their own agenda in the unstable region. 
    NATO and the British navy are currently monitoring the Russian warships until they sail through the North Sea and the English Channel. 
    Russia announced that the aircraft carrier being sent is to only reinforce their military presence in the eastern Mediterranean and are focused on conducting bombings in Syria. 
    However, as a gesture of “goodwill”, Moscow announced a halt on raids by their Air Force for the evacuation of civilians from targeted areas.

    Indian Ocean was formed more than twenty five years ago but has still managed to stay relevant to this day with a loyal and dedicated following. The band’s current lineup consists of Amit Kilam on drums, percussion and vocals, Rahul Ram on bass guitar and vocals, Himanshu Joshi on vocals, Tuheen Chakravorty on tabla and percussion and Nikhil Rao on guitar. Indian Ocean is primarily a fusion of rock music with Indian traditional sounds and was one of the first homegrown bands to give impetus to this genre in the country. The band combines numerous themes in their music ranging from poetry to spirituality and even a call for revolution—and still manage to balance it pretty well, keeping it fresh and entertaining.

    They have released seven albums over the span of their careers and have remained loyal to their signature jazz-filled sound while adding newer elements to their music. Indian Ocean is one of the most famous homegrown acts in India and extensively toured all over the country, and world.

    In 1992, the band released their debut album which was recorded in no less than ten days. The self-titled album was purely instrumental and only had a couple of lyrical lines. And while their next album came after five years, it was worth the wait. The live album, ‘Desert Rain’, was spontaneously recorded at one of their concerts in New Delhi.
    The next album, ’Kandisa’, came out in 2000 and was a game-changer for the band. It was massively loved by the fans, acquiring a cult status and put Indian Ocean on the map as one of the most original music bands in the country. They followed it up with ‘Jhini’ in 2003 which was recorded in the hills. The band even made their first ever music video for a single off this album.
    Their next album, ‘Black Friday’ was inspired by the soundtrack of the 2004 movie of the same name. ‘16/330 Khajoor Road’ was the first album to be released after the tragic demise of their former band member Asheem Chakravarty, in 2009. With this album, the band took their stance against record labels by putting up the album for free download online.
    Their latest album ‘Tandanu’ is considered to be their best album till date with its anthem-like sound. The politically progressive album delivered a new sense of patriotism and awareness in a distraught time. 
    The legendary band can seen playing live at the Bacardi Nh7 Weekender on the 5th and 6th of November in Hyderabad.

    When you board a plane, you have no idea about the passengers in there. A flight hoards a bunch of loud people, some wailing kids, the quiet lot which is seen snuggled with a book and a few other random varieties. But how many times have you witnessed a cute, two webbed feet quacking duck, wearing red shoes, strolling in the aisle?
    Mark Essig, an American author who was flying from Charlotte to Asheville, took to Twitter to share his encounter with possibly one of the most adorable co-passengers—an emotional support duck.

    Bengaluru FC became the first Indian team to reach the finals of the AFC cup after a high octane second leg clash resulted in a 4-2 win on aggregate over Johor Darul Ta'zim. It’s a historic achievement in Indian football considering Bengaluru FC was founded in 2013.

    After conceding an early away goal in the game, the Blues upped the ante and put pressure in the final third. Sunil Chhetri netted a regulation training routine corner and brought back Bengaluru FC into the game. This, however, was nothing in comparison to the most scintillating moment of the game when Chhetri once again, through his sheer brilliance scored a scorcher from a fair distance. This short clip gives an idea of how good the Indian striker was on the night.
    A golazo worth watching (even Batistuta would be proud of!) from the golden boy of Indian football, take a bow Sunil Chhetri! pic.twitter.com/KxfzJmuVa4
    — Sivan John™ (@SivanJohn) October 19, 2016 This goal by Chhetri ended all hopes of resurgence for the Malaysian giants. It was however another assist for Lyngdoh with Juan Antonio which put the final nail in the coffin. Begaluru FC demolished Johor Darul Ta'zim 4-2 on aggregate and scripted history for Indian football.

    It’s one of those rare moments for the sport in India which reinvigorates the entire football community, a glimmer of hope for the ever pessimistic Indian fans. The finals will now be played on November 5th against Iraq’s Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya club in Doha.
    It’ll be a difficult final for Bengaluru FC but one which might earn them a place in history. No matter the challenge, Chhetri and co. will look to give it their best shot and announce the advent of Indian football on the world stage.

    Patriotism in our country is a feeling which fills everyone with pride, it gives us goose bumps and a strange power of love overflows inside our hearts. But is it justified to force it on others and get violent if someone’s definition of the love for their country is not similar to yours?
    Salil Chaturvedi, a famous writer and an activist, faced a lot of flak and was assaulted recently while he was at a theatre in Panaji. The reason for this bizarre absurdity is shocking. He is wheelchair-bound due to a spinal injury and therefore when the national anthem was played, he could not stand up.  According to the report in The Times Of India, a ‘patriotic’ couple took offence and the husband hit, while the wife questioned that why couldn’t this man stand up?
    © Twitter
    Needless to say that Salil was beyond being shocked, but still maintained his calm and asked the irked audience to relax. The couple realised their mistake but instead of apologising, simply left the drama that they had stirred. Son of a career military officer, Salil cannot possibly go back to watch a movie. “I’m afraid someone will hit me even harder, and worsen my spinal injury. I just don’t understand why it seems impossible for so many people to express patriotism in a non-aggressive manner”, he said.
    © Twitter
     He also voiced his angst by explaining, “I now believe that even if I could stand up during the national anthem, I would rather not, simply because I am being forced to do so. My father is an Air Force veteran. I represented the nation in wheelchair tennis at the Australian Open. Look at my life choices! Who are you to judge how much I love India?”
    © Twitter
    He also expressed his discomfort by adding, “Is this why we fought the colonialists? Did we get our freedom only to become sheep, and that too led by the most sinister, manipulative brutes among us? I will not participate in this sham”, which is sad but true. Salil Chaturvedi was a part of the famous Indian version of ‘The Sesame Street’ which was called ‘Galli Galli Sim Sim’ and he also compiled a Konkani audio book specially meant for the blind. It is unfair and brutal on the part of pseudo patriots to actually point fingers at someone who doesn’t need to justify his love for the nation.

    Lionel Messi faced his old boss yesterday in the UEFA Champions League when Barcelona took on Manchester City in a Group C encounter.

    After a spectacular start to the season (6 wins in 6 in the Premier League), Manchester City looks like they're losing steam. They lost to Tottenham Hotspur and then drew with Everton. So what, they still own a victory over city rivals Manchester United. A loss and a draw don't matter.
    In the Champions League, their story is pretty similar. They started off with a convincing 4-0 victory against Mönchengladbach, then they drew 3-3 with Celtic, and last night, they lost 4-0 to Barcelona.

    Is this a sign of things to come? Is his tiki-taka style not effective anymore? Has Messi, the student, now become, Guardiola, the teacher? What is Pep Guardiola going to do next? Can you answer any of these questions?

    With tension between India and Pakistan at an all time high, Pakistan’s media regulatory authority has made a decision to impose a complete ban on Indian TV and Radio content starting this Friday. A warning also has been published that licences of those found guilty of violating the ban will be suspended.
    “The ban will come into effect at 3pm on October 21, and radio and television stations which violate the ban will have their licences without a prior show cause notice” Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority(PEMRA) said in a statement.
    The ban came at the request of the federal government, according to PERMA. The one-sided rights given to Indian media by the government of former military dictator Pervez Musharraf in 2006 will also be suspended.
    PEMRA had already been playing hardball with Indian content after complaints surfaced that local channels were violating the allowed 5% foreign content quota. The authority issued a statement on the 31st of August saying that the channels airing foreign content over the prescribed limit and the traders selling illegal DTH sets would face severe consequences. This implementation of this decision took place from October 16 with PERMA launching an investigation on channels with illegal foreign content.

    Guardians of the Galaxy was one of those 3rd-grade comic books which no one really cared about. But considering the fact it was Ironman (a subsidiary character at best, in the comics) who helped launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this isn't the first time they have created magic out of nothing.
    The first Guardians movie has superstars such as Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper, but people were less than thrilled when they learned one was voicing a tree and the other a raccoon. Chris Pratt was known as the goofy guy from Parks & Recreation, Dave Bautista was a washed up WWE superstar, and Zoe Saldana was getting nothing but supporting roles. The movie was going to suck, right? WRONG.
    It was one of the best movies of 2014 and everything from the soundtrack to the performances were phenomenal.
    Cut to 2016; Marvel isn't as fun as it used to be and people are getting bored. Perhaps Guardians of the Galaxy 2's wry sense of humour is what they need? James Gunn released a teaser trailer last night. Check it out:
    We get glimpses at all the things we loved from the first movie while not learning much except that Yondu (Michael Rooker) finally has a badass mohawk like in the comics.
    The movie is set for a May 2017 release. Will this be the movie which revitalizes Phase III of the MCU? What do you think?

    When Aamir Khan makes a movie, best believe that it’s going to be a modern day classic. Aamir’s next venture ‘Dangal’ has been in the making for a long time now and finally, UTV Motion pictures dropped the movie’s first trailer. One look at the trailer and you would agree that it’s already a master piece. Khan has crafted it so well that even if you aren’t a fan, you will be one. And mind you, this is just the effect of the trailer. The movie’s tied around the life and times of India’s finest wrestling coach, Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughter Geeta and Babita Phogat, both of whom are Olympians. The movie aims to shatter the stereotype that ‘women can’t wrestle’ and looking at the trailer, it indeed will! Check out the trailer.

    It’s been years, literally years since Apple has updated or upgraded their line of MacBook Pros, Air, Mac Mini, iMac and the detritus we call the Mac Pro. They already have a new phone, a new bigger phone, a new watch and new wireless headphones that look like you have a hair dryer jammed in your ears. 
    If you are wondering how long it has been since we got a new Macbook Pro, 27 years is the figure you are looking for. Luckily, Apple has sent out invites to the press where they might have something exciting on their cards. The event is scheduled to take place on October 27th and rumours suggest that the new laptop will have an additional screen above the keyboard that will have functions in relation to whichever app you might be using at the time. It is also rumoured that the new Macbook Air will have a USB-C port. 

    According to Macotakara, the new Macbook laptops are expected to start shipping by the end of October. Macotakara has a formidable reputation when it comes to claims and we just hope the rumors are true. 
    As usual, the event will be available to stream on Apple’s website if you happen to own an Apple product.

    Udayan Sagar, also known as Nucleya, is one of the most popular DJs in the country at the moment. He started his musical journey way back in the 1990s, making electronic music back in school on his first computer. In 1998, he formed his first band, Bandish Projekt, with two friends and the band stayed together for about ten years before breaking up.
    © Nishant Matta
    Nucleya came into existence in 2009, and with a renewed sense of vigor, Sagar went on to explore different types of music before coming across dubstep. The complexity and versatility of this genre completely captured his attention. He released his first EP ‘Koocha Monster’ in 2013 and the song ‘Akkadd Bakkadd’ gained instant popularity, becoming one of the highlights of his career. The EP fused together South Indian street music with his signature bass heavy sound and featured talented artists like Chinnaponnu and Delhi Sultanate. 
    Next came his first album, ‘Bass Rani’, that saw a rather innovative launch. He dropped the album during Ganesh Visarjan. The album stirred up quite a buzz with Udayan’s eccentric ways of promotion. He mixed everything from Punjabi folk to Mumbai street music to Tamil Kuthu elements with electronic beats to create a truly unique sound for this album.
    In addition to performing all over India, Nucleya has also played at many festivals like Glastonbury, Edinburgh, Lille, Fringe and Electron, performing alongside likes of Diplo and Modeselektor. Most recently, he played at a music festival in Spain which also included other Indian artists like B.R.E.E.D, Medival Punditz, Karsh Kale and The Raghu Dixit Project in its lineup. In the future, he hopes to collaborate with artists like Benny Dayal, Vishal Dadlani, Papon, MIA and many more.

    The first single from his forthcoming album ‘Raja Babu’, including a collaboration with Kavya Trehan, was recently released and has already gained critical acclaim. And for his latest album, he ventured into unchartered territory, throwing a concert for fans at a stadium level, across major metropolitan cities in the country. 
    Nucleya can next be seen live at the happiest music festival ever - Bacardi NH7 Weekender, on 21st and 22nd October in Shillong, on 5th and 6th November in Hyderabad and on 2nd-4th December in Pune.

    At 48, model-turned-actor, Rahul Dev can still give the younger crop of models a run for their money. Not only is his jawline (and those abs) chiselled AF, but his sense of style is unparalleled! Though he might not be a regular face on the big screen currently (he’s down regional movies, though), fashion runways have never ceased to love him. He belongs to the original clique of models who made the shift successfully to the silver screen, becoming known both for their acting talents as well as their personal style, both keeping onscreen and off.
    Over the years, Rahul’s impeccable fashion sense has kept him on the ‘fave-models’ list of ace designers like Rajesh Pratap Singh. With a knack of carrying off anything with great flair, he’s pulled together some solid ensembles created by the most revered names in the Indian menswear scene, including a phenomenal ‘Great Gatsby’ look, via a white JJ Valaya overcoat at Amby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week 2012.
    Let’s not forget his polished desi dude look in a jazzy white achkan by Arjun Khanna at Bangalore Fashion Week 2013 (white seems to be his favourite shade and nobody cuts a better frame than him in Indian silhouettes) or his easy breezy yet confident look in a blue velvet JJ Valaya jacket at the Festival of Hope runway show in June, 2015 (and you thought velvet was a tough fabric to carry). While the younger crop in showbiz is trying hard to make a fashion statement, there are a few who are natural. Rahul is one of them.
    Here are 6 times when he totally lived up to his supermodel status.

    Setting a harsh example of their unbiased objective justice system, Saudi Arabia executed a member of the royal family, Prince Turki bin Saud al-Kabir, after he was found guilty of shooting another man dead during a brawl. The person shot dead was identified as Adel al-Mahemid. This is the first time in almost four decades that a prince was executed for murder. Earlier, Prince Faisal bin Musaid was beheaded in the year 1975. The execution was held in the capital, Riyadh. The details of the method of his execution haven’t been revealed yet, though most death penalties are said to be carried out by beheading in a public square.

    Reportedly, after this incident, the kingdom’s social media networks started piling up with some Saudis saying that such a thing is hard to imagine while others were saying that this move shows the quality of their justice system. The system follows a strict interpretation of Shariah law and is often criticized by human rights groups for being unnecessarily harsh and arbitrary in terms of punishments. 
    “The greatest thing is that the citizen sees the law applied to everyone, and that there are no big people and other small people,” said Abdul-Rahman al-Lahim, a renowned Saudi lawyer wrote on Twitter. Saudi Arabia is said to be one of the world’s few remaining absolute monarchies. So far, over 130 people have been executed this year in Saudi Arabia. While there are mixed reactions, this execution has left many people baffled and confused whether one should support or oppose this decision. Agreed that the laws are above anyone and everyone, but are these extreme measures justified?

    Marijuana is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and there are tons of weird marijuana based products in the market already. The newest thing to hit stores is marijuana infused wine. Yes, you read that right!
    Weed is obviously not legal everywhere and the mixing of legal marijuana with alcohol or other drugs is usually prohibited, but California is an exception to this law and therefore winemakers there are working around a grey area. 
    A photo posted by Mary Jane Wines® (@maryjanewines) on Sep 6, 2016 at 9:22am PDT
    With the medical use of marijuana being legal in California, companies are always venturing into and capitalizing on new and innovative products. Even though pot wine can be traced back to the days of ancient China, it has become a hot new thing recently.
    A photo posted by Mary Jane Wines® (@maryjanewines) on Sep 11, 2016 at 8:26am PDT
    Working around the law, the manufacturers of these products pose as completely legit businesses. Social media has played a major role in the success of these cannabis based companies and they develop a huge dedicated following online for such products. 
    With the benefits of marijuana actually being proven through serious scientific studies, it may be ‘high’ time for India to legalize the medical use of weed in the country.
