ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Having graced the silver screen with his par excellence acting skills and essaying strong, meaningful roles in films and web series, this year has been a momentous one for Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The man charmed his way into the hearts of his audience with his stellar deliveries on-screen, and there is much more - bigger and better things - in store for him in the upcoming new year. After his entertaining performance as Gaitonde in 'Sacred Games' and solid portrayal of writer-poet Saadat Hasan Manto in Nandita Das' latest creation, Nawazuddin is yet again getting ready to star in a biopic. © Instagram Releasing early next year, Nawazuddin is set to play the role of founder and former Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, in his upcoming movie 'Thackeray' directed by Abhijit Panse and written by Shiv Sena politician Sanjay Raut. While we have already watched and admired the actor's superior acting in the movie's teaser which was released last month, it is however this active snippet circulating on social media that's gaining a lot of attention. In a latest clip from the movie, Nawazuddin is seen making his way to his car in all his political glory. However, it is the uncanny resemblance of the actor to Bal Thackeray that's got the viewers lose their shit. Take a look at the clip here: View this post on Instagram A glimpse into #Thackeray starring @nawazuddin._siddiqui #Bollywood #ZoomTV #Nawaz #NawazuddinSiddiqui #Video #Biopic #Film A post shared by Zoom TV (@zoomtv) on Dec 16, 2018 at 10:26pm PST Wrapped in saffron and adorned by iconic Bal Thackeray paraphernalia, the resemblance between the two men is indeed massive. The movie promises an insight into the life and rise of one of Maharashtra's greatest political leader, and it is safe to say that Nawazuddin seem pretty close to doing justice to the magnanimous personality. -
Tired Of Following Fake Natural Fitness Models? Follow These 5 Guys & Add To Your Knowledge
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Fitness has been a popular industry in 2018. It has become lucrative to be a part of it, as people are endlessly spending their money on fitness products and services like coaching, supplements, personal training, etc. At the same time, charlatans have made quick profit as well, as their sole purpose is to mislead people and take their money. They go to extremes like launching a Ketogenic Whey Protein to injecting steroids in young kids who want to build some muscle or lose some fat. Like every cloud has a silver lining, there are still sensible, helpful, and smart people in the industry who genuinely want to help people out giving the right information. If you do not want to go down the rabbit hole of misinformation and potentially hurt yourself in the name of fitness, you need to follow these accounts today (in no particular order). 1. Martin MacDonald (@martinnutrition) View this post on Instagram Post Day 1 of L2 Fitness Summit gym session culminated in this epic dream team photo. â â Roll on Day 2 with Sohee kicking things off and me closing out the show! â â Can't wait! â â A post shared by Martin MacDonald (@martinnutrition) on Sep 30, 2018 at 5:05am PDT Martin is the founder and CEO of Mac Nutrition Uni, a one-year evidence-based nutrition course which has been endorsed by doctors and industry experts equally.

Spencer Nadolsky (@drnadolsky) View this post on Instagram Want to have a doc who can help you with your blood sugars, cholesterol, and blood pressure through lifestyle changes? I'm right here. Not only that but I'll actually have time to spend with you since I got out of the regular inefficient medical system. - Right now you go to your doctor and you get about 10 minutes with them. They tell you what you already know. You already know you need to eat better. You know you need to do more physical activity and you understand that your weight may be causing some of your issues. Problem is, the doc probably doesn't know how to help you and if they do, they don't even have enough time. - So here's the deal, @steadymd asked me a couple years ago to start taking patients via online to help with this madness. I've capped myself around 220 patients for about a year now but I'm opening it up to more (about 30 more). - How does it work? You pay 99 bucks a month and you get an initial hour long video consult with me. I have my license in most states now. Sorry rest of the world I don't have power elsewhere. - After the initial hour long consult where I get to know you, I can order labs and even medicines if you need refills (no controlled meds through the internet like adderall or testosterone sorry). You then have access to me via your phone or computer similar to text messaging. - We do not take insurance. This allows us to spend time on you without the insurance hassles. - How can I do physical exams? Technically I don't. I can do most things I need through talking to you and looking at labs but there are new cool gadgets I can recommend that allow me to listen to your heart and lungs better than if I were in the office with you. - Who is this for? This is perfect for those who have blood sugar/pressure/cholesterol issues along with hypothyroidism. Those tend to be the patients that love it most. I have gotten many patients off their sugar and pressure meds using lifestyle. - You will also have the option of adding on my amazing nutrition coach for an extra fee once you sign up. - I wouldn't sign up if you're healthy and don't have an extra $99 a month. - Ready to start? click link in bio to sign up A post shared by Spencer Nadolsky (@drnadolsky) on Nov 23, 2018 at 7:28am PST An obesity medicine physician by profession, Dr. Nadolsky has the necessary education and the experience to deal with issues related to weight and obesity.

ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
For anyone who thinks the #MeToo movement doesn't matter, here's a real-life positive impact it has brought. MJ Akbar has officially resigned from his position of Minister of State for External Affairs and it's a win for everyone. This comes after journalist Priya Ramani accused Akbar of sexual harassment, following which he filed a civil defamation case against her. However, 19 woman journalists came forward and asked the Patiala court to consider their testimonies in the suit filed by Akbar. In a statement, that came out just a few hours ago, Akbar said he had decided to seek justice in a court of law in his personal capacity, however, still maintaining that the charges against him are false. Twitter The statement read, “Since I have decided to seek justice in a court of law in my personal capacity, I deem it appropriate to step down from office and challenge false accusations levied against me, also in a personal capacity.” It went on, “I have, therefore, tendered my resignation from the office of Minister of State for External Affairs.

Take Care Of Your Shoes By Following These Five Basic Tips
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Often considered to be one of the most underrated elements of your attire, the shoes you wear go a long way in making you look stylish, trendy and fashion-forward. After all, if you accentuate your ensemble with the right pair of shoes, you'll be able to make a lasting (and fashionable) impression. But ensuring your shoes add up to your style statement, and don't take away from it, has as much to do with the type of shoes you're wearing as it does with how you maintain them. After all, if you don't take care of your shoes, and start wearing ones that show clear signs of dust, dirt, wear and tear, the only thing those shoes will achieve is making you look like a hobo. So on that note, here are five basic tips to follow that'll help you take care of your shoes. 1) Ensure You Clean Them Properly, Depending On Their Material © Pexels You might have the best Adidas running shoes, the best Nike running shoes or even the best Puma running shoes in your collection, but if you don't clean them properly, the only thing you'll ensure is that they won't last long. And how you clean your shoes solely depends on one factor - the type of material they are made of. So if you have canvas shoes, cleaning them with a wet cloth or sponge is the way to go. Alternatively, suede shoes require protective sprays to be cleaned and if you own leather shoes, then you need to use a leather conditioner to clean them. 2) Make Sure You Spray New Shoes With A Waterproof Protector © Unsplash Regardless of what the weather forecasters might have you believe, there is absolutely no accounting for Indian weather and its unpredictability. As such, if you see dark clouds in the sky, don't shy away from spraying your shoes (especially if they happen to be brand new) with a waterproof protector. 3) Make Sure You Stock Up On Sock Liners © Unsplash While we try to protect our shoes from any damage from the outside (such as rains and dust), we often end up forgetting about the damage that can be caused from the inside. The sweat and perspiration from your feet can leave nasty stains inside your shoes - especially if they are made of canvas. In fact, if you're using running shoes, then you're guaranteed to sweat from your feet. As such, stocking up on sock liners ends up being highly advisable. 4) When Not Using Them, Make Sure You Store Your Shoes Properly © Unsplash It's not just good enough to take care of your shoes when you're about to go out wearing them, you also have to make sure that you properly store them when you're not using them. In fact, most shoes end up getting damaged because they are not stored in the correct and proper manner. So when storing your own shoes, you need to keep three things in mind - make sure you keep them off the floor, ensure that you don't store them in wire racks and try to use shoe boxes to store them in. 5) Be Extra Careful With White Shoes © Unsplash While all shoes you possess - regardless of their colour or type - need to be taken care of, you need to be extra careful when it comes to white shoes. White, after all, gets easily dirty and is more prone to showing off stains and marks. So make sure you pay extra attention to the white shoes in your collection because, while you might have splurged a fortune owning the best white sneakers for men, it'll all go to waste if you don't take proper care of them. Pro tip: You can use white polish to cover minuscule marks, a toothbrush to clean dust or dirt particles, and bleach for cleaning larger stains. Also, always keep a wet cloth handy. -
Following These Five Tips Will Help All Indian Men Grow & Maintain A Badass Beard
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
As a well-groomed and luscious beard can (more often than not) make all the difference in transforming you into a hit among ladies, it's probably safe to assume that you'd want to follow all the tips that'll help you grow and maintain a proper beard. After all, taking care of your facial growth shouldn't be an exercise that is just confined to the month of November. And since there should never be a time frame attached to looking your absolute best, here are five essential tips all Indian men should keep in mind if they want to show off a badass mane. 1) Beard Oils Are Essential, Invest In Them Wisely © Instagram Official/ Vicky Kaushal Your beard requires adequate grooming and care, something you cannot afford to ignore if you have any plans of growing and maintaining a proper mane. As such, opting for the best beard oils out there is not only advisable, but also highly recommended. After all, bead oils provide the proper nourishment and care to your skin and hair, enabling you to grow a beard that'll make you the envy of many men. 2) Your Choice Of Trimmer Makes All The Difference © Unsplash As was the case with beard oils, the type of trimmer you opt for also plays an instrumental role in ensuring your beard is well groomed. As such, you need to ensure that you pay a lot of attention to your choice of trimmer. Whether you want to opt for a rotary or foil trimmer or a wireless or wired option, ensuring that you get your hands on the best trimmers for men is highly advisable. Pro tip: Opting for some of the best Philips trimmers out there will make for a premium and cost-effective option. 3) Keep Your Skin Clean © Instagram Official/ Kartik Aryan You might have the best beard trimmer and beard oil in your possession, but it'll be all for naught if you don't take care of your skin. After all, keeping your skin clean and hydrated is just as important as investing in the right beard care products. So invest in quality face washes and scrubs, premium shaving creams and gels and A-grade aftershave lotions. 4) Don't Forget About Your Mooch! © Instagram Official/ Ranveer Singh This is one of those rookie mistakes that most men end up making. Taking care of your beard but neglecting your mooch is an absolute no-no. So make sure you take care of your mooch as well by investing in the best moustache waxes and oils out there. Pro tip: Ustraa and Beardhood come out with some of the best moustahce waxes you could get your hands on. 5) Vitamin B Is Great For Hair Growth, Incorporate It In Your Diet © Instagram Official/ Ranveer Singh You are what you eat. As it turns out, this is true for beard care too as adapting a diet that is rich in Vitamin B will do wonders for your hair growth. So eat as many nuts, eggs, chickpeas, lentils and whole grain breads as you can, and you'll be one step closer to getting and maintaining that beard you've always desired. -
Following These Tips Will Help All Budding Badminton Players Become A Pro
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
I think it can safely be said that, perhaps after cricket, badminton has become that one sport that has brought the most international glory to India. Considering the massive accomplishments of the likes of Saina Nehwal and P.V Sindhu, badminton has become a sport where India is excelling in. As such, the potential for aspiring badminton players to make it big is monumental. So if you happen to be a budding or aspiring badminton player who wants to make it big, following these simple (but effective) tips will help you get on the road to becoming a badminton pro. 1) Invest In A Quality Badminton Racket © Instagram/Srikanth Kidambi This one should be an absolute no-brainer. Just like the bat you use pretty much defines how you'll play cricket, the racket you'll be using holds paramount importance in deciding how you'll play badminton. As such, investing in the best badminton rackets out there is not only advisable, but highly recommended. Some reputable brands that you could opt for include Li-Ning, Yonex and Cosco. Pro tip: If you're on a budget, you can opt for the best badminton rackets under Rs 1000 - all of which will deliver the goods without burning a hole in your wallet. 2) Practice Makes You Perfect © Instagram/Saina Nehwal If you ask the most accomplished and renowned athletes of any sport what the secret behind their success is, most of them will tell you that it's practicing. This is true for badminton as well - where the more hours you spend practicing your game and honing your skills, the closer you'll get to realising your dream. Pro tip: Remember, you can easily get injured if you don't take care of your body or exert too much pressure on yourself. So while training is important, doing it at the expense of your physical health is not okay. 3) Don't Underestimate The Influence Your Shoes Can Have On Your Game © Instagram/Srikanth Kidambi Your choice of sports shoes isn't just a fact for flashier sports like soccer or basketball - it plays a significant role in a court game like badminton as well. So don't shy away from investing in the best badminton shoes and you'll be good to go. Apart from helping you take you improve your game, investing in the right shoes will also help you avoid injuring your foot or ankle. Pro tip: Adidas, Puma, Li-Ning and Yonex are premium brands that you could opt for. 4) Invest In A Premium (And Durable!) Shuttlecock © Instagram/Parupalli Kashyap You may have a premium racket and you might have invested in quality shoes as well, but none of it will matter if you don't invest in a premium and durable shuttlecock as well. After all, if you don't practice and hone your skills using a a-grade shuttlecock, how else will you become a pro? Pro tip: Yonex and Li-Ning are known for producing some of the the best shuttlecocks in the market. 5) Know Your Strengths And Work On Your Weaknesses © Instagram/ P.V. Sindhu Knowing your strengths and identifying (and then working) on your weaknesses is absolutely paramount in determining how good (or bad!) of a player you're going to be. After all, without identifying your weakness, how else could you possibly work and improve on that one part of your game which your opponents are most likely to exploit? -
Be A Kickass Host By Following These 5 Tips Before Throwing Your Next Party
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Being a good host is not easy - you have to take care of all the arrangements for the party, all the while ensuring that you yourself have a good time. Whether it's the guest list, the music, the food or the drinks - you're solely responsible for it all. While everything has to go right for the party to be a hit, it only takes one screw-up for things to go wrong. In short, a lot goes into being a good host and ensuring that everyone has a great time. So to help our party freaks out there ensure that they throw a kickass party, here are five party tips you should swear by. 1) Make Sure You Have Quality Wireless Speakers At Home © Unsplash Music is kind of the make-it or break-it element of any party. As such, if you want to throw a successful party that most people will remember (and for all the right reasons), then you need to invest in the best portable Bluetooth speakers out there. When looking for such speakers, keep in mind the brand you are opting for, the wireless range of the speakers (you don't want the dancing to be confined to one particular room) and the battery life you'll be getting out of them. Keeping these factors in mind will surely help you make an informed and smart choice. Pro tip: JBL and Boat come out with premium portable speakers that are budget friendly as well. 2) Make Sure You Have All The Bar Accessories You'll Need © Unsplash While you don't necessarily need alcohol to throw a great party, if you and your friends happen to like your whiskey neat and your beers cold, then you need to ensure that you have all the bar accessories you need with you. So make sure you have bottle openers, shot glasses, peg measurers and chilling rocks (look them up) at your disposal. Pro tip: You can check out these amazing deals on Amazon on bar accessories to help yourself prepare for your next party! 3) Be Presentable From Head To Toe © Instagram/ Kartik Aryan A host needs to look presentable - even if it's for a party that only your closest friends would be attending. So make sure you have the best trimmers to groom your beard, the best hair waxes to fix your hair, and the best perfumes for men to smell your absolute best. Pro tip: There's a reason why smart-casual blazers are trending right now. 4) Stock On Food And Drinks Beforehand © Unsplash Running out of food or drinks is perhaps the biggest cardinal sin a host can make. So always stock on them beforehand by making sure you have enough to cater to more than just the number of people you've invited. Pro tip: Storing on extra food and drinks will also help you be prepared for the unexpected plus ones (sometimes just unavoidable) who might show up. 5) Finally, Be Prepared For Any Potential Screw Up As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Any potential screw up, if not properly planned for, can singularly ruin any party. So plan in advance for unexpected power outages, friends who get too sloshed, broken furniture (in case the party gets too wild), and annoying neighbours. -
Following These 5 Tips While Running Will Make It A Lot More Fun
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
I think it's safe to assume that all of us want to be fit. Whether it's because we want to be the best version of ourselves, because we want to be strong, or because we just want to live a healthier lifestyle, staying fit has - thankfully - become a lifestyle choice that more and more people are adhering to. And while going to the gym is certainly the most effective way of staying in shape, going for a run has its benefits as well. In fact, most people who choose to not go to the gym usually rely on their morning or evening runs to stay fit. But running can often seem like a monotonous route (pun intended!) to take, one that can seem pretty basic and mundane. So with that in mind, here are 5 running tips you should adhere to if you want to make it more fun (and safe!) for you. 1) Use Quality Headphones For Running © Pexels Just like any other workout, listening to music while you go for a run can actually help energise you. As such, owning a quality pair of wireless headphones and listening to your favourite songs is a great way of pumping yourself up during your runs. When searching for the best Bluetooth headphones for running, you should keep an eye out on ones belonging to premium brands (JBL, Boat and Skullcandy come to mind) that offer a good wireless range and optimum battery life. 2) Invest In The Right Shoes © Pexels While it may not involve you having to go to a gym, you shouldn't forget that running is a physical exercise. And just like any physical exercise you do, the risk of injury is always there. As such, investing in the best running shoes is mandatory. There are many factors that you should keep in mind before you purchase a pair of running shoes - your weight, the drop of the shoe (which is basically the difference between the forefoot measurements and the heel) and the cushioning that the shoe will provide you. If you make an informed choice, not only do you make running more fun, but you also ensure that you don't get accidently injured. 3) Switch Things Up A Bit It's not for nothing that people say that variety is the spice of life! As such, you can also mix in some cardio exercises in the middle of your runs to break the monotony and make things more fun. For instance, adding a few jumping jacks, butt kicks, squat jumps and jumping lunges to your run can make things less boring. 4) Take A Walk Or Jog Break © Pexels Nowhere is it written that you should run for 30 minutes straight without taking any breaks whatsoever - after all, you're not Usain Bolt! So it's advisable to take walk/jog breaks while you're running. Not only will doing so ensure that you don't run out of stamina, but it will also help you be gentler on your body. 5) Don't Do It Alone Just like having a gym partner can make working out less mundane, going for your runs with a friend or family member can make them a lot more fun as well. Apart from ensuring that you'll always have a source of motivation right next to you, you can rely on your running partner for some healthy competition as well. -
