Anyone who doesn't live under a rock and is mindful of their finances, would have heard of 'Zerodha'. With an active client base of 5 million users, Zerodha is the largest retail stockbroker in India, contributing more than 15% of daily retail volumes across all Indian stock exchanges. View this post on Instagram However, financial planning or stock market is not what we're talking about in here. We're focusing on Mr Nithin Kamath, the co-founder and CEO of Zerodha. As it turns out, Nithin, 42, is an avid fitness enthusiast who never skips the gym! View this post on Instagram While Nithin has always been conscious about fitness, it's a famous selfie that he shared, which put him in the limelight in terms of his fitness. He ended up sharing that not only on Instagram, but also on Twitter and LinkedIn, which made everyone sit up and take notice. View this post on Instagram In an interview on YouTube, Nithin has revealed that he started taking fitness seriously when he couldn't play basketball because of breathing and wheezing issues. To deal with that, he started taking care of his health, and that became a passion. He says he tries to do everything in moderation, as he's a foodie who also has a huge sweet tooth. View this post on Instagram When it comes to his routine and diet, he believes in having early dinners, and usually finishes off by 6.30 - 7 pm. He also has a drink or two once in a while, but the moderation bit keeps everything in check. He also mentioned that he struggles with his sleep timings and duration, but he has been working on it by turning off all his devices by 8-8.30 pm, since it's one of the fundamental facets of recovery when one is trying to build muscle. View this post on Instagram When it comes to his daily diet, Nithin starts off his day with coffee just before his workout, and then has oats and whey protein. Then for his breakfast he has egg whites and vegetables with the water of a tender coconut. Around noon, he has a glass of fruit juice along with the fiber in it, without straining it. For his lunch, he usually has some dal and some quinoa as he switched from rice to quinoa a while back because his gut feels much better with that. In the evening, he snacks on some healthy cheese and crackers. Dinner for him is usually non-vegetarian, and since he loves fish, it's mostly fish and some vegetables. He keeps on changing his diet from time to time. View this post on Instagram Nithin's wife, Seema Patil, is also a fitness enthusiast, and they often workout together to realise their fitness goals. View this post on Instagram All we can say is, we're mighty impressed! If he can find time to work on his fitness goals despite having such a busy schedule, all of us can also surely squeeze in some time for ours! Well done, Sir! We applaud you! View the full article

India's historic Test series triumph over Australia earlier this year arguably went down in history as country's all-time greatest wins in the longest format. Despite it being one of the greatest examples of a team's courage and resillience, many questioned if it actually deserved such high accolades at the time and nobody had any answers. However, after the ICC's recent announcement, Indian fans have much to rejoice. The world cricket's governing body, after an extensive fan-based voting, has declared India's 2-1 triumph Down Under as the 'Ultimate Test Series'. Ahead of the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand, the ICC handpicked 16 of the most iconic Test series of all-time and asked fans to vote for the Ultimate Test series. In contention were some of the greatest Test encounters of all-time, including the 2005 Ashes series, 2001 India vs Australia Test series and India vs Pakistan Test series of 1999. Ahead of the #WTC21 final, we set out to determine #TheUltimateTestSeries. After 15 head-to-heads and over seven million votes across our social channels, we have a winner… The 2020/21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy takes the crown pic.twitter.com/IvpjCxQ2eJ — ICC (@ICC) June 8, 2021 After 15 head-to-heads and seven million votes, India's recent heroics against Australia with a depleted squad came out on top, beating the iconic India vs Pakistan Test series of 1999 in the final showdown. What made India's victory all the more special was the fact that, unlike last time, it came against a full-strength Australia squad, that too in the absence of several of their first-choice players, including regular skipper Virat Kohli, pace quartet of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharm, Umesh Yadav, among others. How we got there #TheUltimateTestSeries pic.twitter.com/XGM4To5W86 — ICC (@ICC) June 8, 2021 Despite all this, some fans were still not happy with the result and claimed "recency bias" saying there were other series like the 2005 Ashes that perhaps deserved the title more. Surprise surprise, country was massive population wins vote as having the best test. Everyone knows 2005 ashes was the best. — Andy Hart (@andyh769) June 9, 2021recency bias at its finest — Riley A (@cfcriley) June 8, 2021How we got there #TheUltimateTestSeries pic.twitter.com/XGM4To5W86 — ICC (@ICC) June 8, 2021Surprise surprise, country was massive population wins vote as having the best test. Everyone knows 2005 ashes was the best. — Andy Hart (@andyh769) June 9, 2021stupid .. it should have easily been IND vs AUS 2001 Test series & AUS vs ENGLAND 2005 Aahes series — अभय (@RAMbhaktAJ) June 8, 2021Whether recency bias or not, the correct winner was chosen mainly because: 1. It was a series win in Australia against a full strength Aussie squad boasting of the best bowling attack in the world. It is the toughest place for a side to win. — Shatananda Rao (@shathrao) June 8, 2021While it's hard to forget something as recent as this year, it's still important to recap what all transpired during the series that eventually won the tag of the 'Ultimate Test Series' of all-time. India were bundled for their lowest-ever total 36-all out in the series opener in Adelaide and suffered a humiliating eight-wicket loss inside three days. The visitors then lost their charismatic skipper Virat Kohli who returned home on paternity leave while Mohammed Shami was ruled out for the remainder of the series with an injury. However, the stand-in skipper Ajikya Rahane led by an example and scored a match-winning century at the MCG as India cinched the Boxing Day Test by eight wickets. © Instagram/Ajinkya Rahane While India managed to win the match, pacer Umesh Yadav suffered a series-ending injury, which left the touring party without three of their four front-line seamers and things looked all bleak going ahead. In the third Test at Sydney Cricket Ground, Ravichandran Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari batted for 42.4 overs and pulled off a remarkable draw on the fifth and the final day that nobody saw coming. Despite battling great pain, both players held fort and kept Australian bowlers at bay on the final day to eke out a remarkable draw. Ashwin remained unbeaten on 39 off 128 balls while Vihari faced 161 balls for his 23 not out. Both would go on to miss the series decider with their respective injuries suffered during Sydney Test. With series level at 1-1, India reached Australia's fortress in Brisbane where the hosts hadn't lost a single Test match in 32 years and nobody in their right mind gave the injury-laden Indian side a chance. However, what transpired over the next five days earned the series a place in Indian cricket's folklore. The partnership between Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur was the highlight of the first innings but it was the hot and cold partnership between Rishabh Pant and Cheteshwar Pujara that kept the visitors alive in the game. Despite losing several partners from the other end in quick succession, Pant held his nerves and got India over the line with a glorious boundary to long-off. View the full article

No matter how stringently the government and local police forces impose a curfew of lockdown to get the pandemic under control, some people just can’t stay at home. They just have to step out, for some reason or the other. © BCCL Well, on the occasion of World Laughter Day, the Mumbai Police put up some of the excuses that they have had to listen to when dealing with people who broke the curfew. And boy oh boy, are they hilarious. The first excuse reads as follows: - © Instagram/mumbaipolice We just have one question. What sort of an “emergency” needs just one band-aid. More to that, what medical emergency needs band-aids? © Instagram/mumbaipolice Well, this guy needed remotes for a match featuring Mumbai. © Instagram/mumbaipolice This one seems legit, right? And this man has got his priorities on point. © Instagram/mumbaipolice I mean, nothing, and we mean absolutely nothing compared to a good ol’ paan, right? And how can one even think of putting on a mask, while chewing a pan? And finally, what better excuse than food. That too a delish vada pav. © Instagram/mumbaipolice The funniest bit, though, was how the post revealed that these are in fact what people have actually said. The caption for the post reads - “All the characters and events depicted are real. Any resemblance to a person living or dead is purely intentional.” Seriously, the people in charge of the Mumbai Police’s Social Media handles deserve recognition, and if possible, a solid raise. Just recently, on 20th April (read it ‘4:20’), they put up a rather dope post. People had some hilarious reactions to this post as well. Always bang on @MumbaiPolice Thanks for making me smile — Charmi Modi Mehta (@Charmimehta12) May 2, 2021 © Instagram/mumbaipolice Why can't we keep such people in police custody for at least 24 hours? Merely penalising with fine is not going to blow some sense in the mind of such people. — Mandeep Verma (@maddyclicks) May 2, 2021 © Instagram/mumbaipolice What a silly #excuses people are giving To came out of #house 🤣#mask is #compulsory #StayHomeStaySafe #dontcomeout#BeSafe #proudonmumbaipolice pic.twitter.com/8bK6S7fz0p — Digambar Umbarkar (@iamDigambar09) May 2, 2021 Well, this one turned the other way rather quickly... © Instagram/mumbaipolice In all seriousness though, do stay at home if you're healthy, and only step outside only if it is absolutely necessary.

While we sit and find excuses on how to avoid work, a 98-year-old man who was spotted on the streets of Raebareli selling chana has now been rewarded by the district administration for being self-dependent or atmanirbhar. Vijay Pal Singh, a resident of Harchandpur, earns money by selling gram at the age of 98 despite his two sons earning decently. When asked why he had set up this shop, he was quick to respond that he doesn’t want to be a burden on his sons and wants to stay fit and sitting at home makes him feel weak. A video of Singh which went viral on social media, came to the notice of the Chief Minister's Office following which, District Magistrate Vaibhav Srivastava called him to his office and appreciated him for his determination. Vaibhav Shrivastava immediately gave him Rs 11,000 in cash, a walking stick, shawl, and a Patra Grahasti Ration Card. Here’s the viral video: A 98 yr old man who sells chana outside his village in UP’s Rae Bareli was felicitated yesterday by @VaibhavIAS .The gentleman’s story gained traction after this viral video shot by a customer where he can be heard saying this is not out of compulsion but to stay fit ... pic.twitter.com/oLokIr3dMj — Alok Pandey (@alok_pandey) March 5, 2021 This video is surely an inspiration for many and we can surely learn how to be independent from this 98-year-old man. “Baba has a gram shop. He was called here. He already has a house under the PM Awas Yojana. Here the Patra Grahasti card and other support were provided to him. He is a source of inspiration for all of us. He hasn't set up a shop under any compulsion but because he remains self-reliant which is a good message. All of us aspire for Baba's blessings," Vaibhav Srivastava, District Magistrate, Raebareli, told ANI. Isn’t his story worth talking about? Let us know about the comments section below.

'Time for performance now': PM Imran Khan says govt does not have excuses anymore

PTI govt has 'two and a half years left to take its performance forward,' says PM Imran Khan -
Remember the good old days when you used to make excuses just to avoid exams? Yes, they never used to work for the most part, but do you know what kids are ready to do these days to skip an exam? Take down the entire freaking wi-fi network. That's right, two 14-year-old high school students of Secuacus High School in New Jersey, USA, decided to go all in and bring down the entire Wi-Fi network of their school so students could not access the online curriculum. If only they had put so much effort into studying for the exam! © Unsplash After talking to other students at the school, the authorities found out that the duo was using a program or app to attack the school's network and cause it to crash or become too congested to be used by the others. NJ.com's report says, “Students interviewed Monday afternoon believe the boys used a Wi-Fi interrupter program, or an app, to send so much traffic to the routers that the system would crash, which ultimately caused connection failures when students tried to log on, do class work or take exams on their computers.” It has also been brought to notice that the duo was taking requests from friends to bring down the Wi-Fi. However, it is not entirely clear if they did it as a favor or they did it with intentions of making money. The Secaucus Police Department said both students were charged with computer criminal activity and conspiracy to commit computer criminal activity.

If we have to name one thing we love about Milind Soman, without a doubt it is obsession with fitness even at the age of 53. Not only is he an avid sports lover, he is also a running enthusiast. Time and again, we have seen him running in marathons with way more stamina than a teenager. No wonder people across the country look up to him. While all this motivates us to get our asses off the bed and finally take care of our health, Milind's latest New Year resolution has left Twitter feeling exhausted. He took to his Twitter to announce that he would now be undertaking 7-hour-long marathons. Every month? No. Every week? Please! He will be doing this EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Making excuses is like trying to find a short term solution for a long term habit. And why not? Why would one not be prone to it when it comes in so handy? It is like our temporary armor to deal with an attack. We make different excuses for reaching office late even though it is not the traffic or anything else, it is just our own behavior that we are trying to hide. Procrastination is also one of the best friends of ‘an excuse'. Look, there is a pattern which can be traced and worked on. If the problem is not taken care of in time, it often ends with us losing something we care about. It could be that dream job, your relationship, your hopes, your health. It could be anything. But you always gotta pay for an excuse, sooner or later. So keep an eye on your excuses as well as the one you are making one to. No one can be fooled forever. You probably might just be making a fool out of yourself. You can figure out the pattern here: 1. “If they do it often, it isn't a mistake; it's just their behavior.” â Steve Maraboli 2. “Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses.” â George Washington Carver 3. “There is a lie in between a promise and many excuses.” â Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut 4. “To rush into explanations is always a sign of weakness.” â Agatha Christie, The Seven Dials Mystery 5. “The heart has its reasons but the mind makes the excuses.” â Amit Abraham 6. “The trouble with excuses, however, is that they become inevitably difficult to believe after they've been used a couple of times.” â Scott Spencer 7. “The moment you tell everyone you have a mental disorder, in order to excuse your behavior.” â Shannon L. Alder 8. “Taking on too much of other people's drama is just a poor excuse for not taking ownership and control over your own life.” â José N. Harris, Mi Vida 9. “How pitiful is an intelligence used only to make excuses to quieten the conscience.” â Ignazio Silone, Bread, and Wine 10. “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” â Benjamin Franklin Photo:©arshadchowdhury.com(Main Image) Photo credits: Disha Bhatia(Inside Images)

ADMIN posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
LAHORE: Pakistan's former t20 skipper Shahid Afridi on Tuesday refused to attend the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) event scheduled on September 14 at Lahore. Afridi expressed his refusal during a phone call with PCB Chairperson Najam Sethi. The flamboyant all-rounder will be playing the Afghan Cricket League (ACL) from September 11. Afridi is the only Pakistani player signed to play the ACL. Currently, Afridi is in the United Kingdom to play the Twenty20 Blast ? representing Hampshire. Previously, Afridi has turned down an offer for a farewell from the board, citing personal commitments. He was offered a farewell event by Sethi during a meeting in Dubai on April 23. Afridi last played for Pakistan in 2016 during the World T20 in India. Following Pakistan's early exit from the tournament, Afridi desired for a proper farewell match, which he couldn't get. Later, in an interview to Geo.tv in December last year, Afridi had given up his desire and confirmed that he had already played his last game and wasn't looking for a farewell anymore. -
