WhatsApp has already done a lot in the past to curb the spread of fake news on its platform. But sadly, it looks like nothing can stop these fake forwarded messages that we come across on various groups. And now that the coronavirus pandemic is affecting countries all over the world, it's crucial to curb the spread of fake news. Well, in an effort to limit fake news, WhatsApp is introducing a new limit on forwarding messages, making it a lot more difficult or rather tedious to forward messages. © Reuters With this new limit in place, users can now forward a message to only one chat at a time. WhatsApp will automatically detect if/when you forward a particular message more than 5 times and limit you from forwarding that to more users at a time. WhatsApp is using metadata to identify the number of times a message has been forwarded, so there's nothing to worry about them going through your messages. Here's what WhatsApp says in its blog post - "However, weâve seen a significant increase in the amount of forwarding which users have told us can feel overwhelming and can contribute to the spread of misinformation. We believe itâs important to slow the spread of these messages down to keep WhatsApp a place for personal conversations." © Reuters This particular feature will join the existing efforts of the company to curb fake news. Back in 2018, WhatsApp began labeling forwarded messages when things started getting out of hands. We're glad that WhatsApp is constantly on the lookout for ways to make things better and improve its apps. In case you missed it, you can simply use WhatsApp to get accurate and prompt info about Coronavirus from WHO. More of such cool features, please! Source: WhatsApp View the full article

Lady Gaga and the World Health Organisation crossover is not something we knew we needed but here we are. She has been doing an incredible job at raising funds during this pandemic and using her platform the best way possible - raising money for all the healthcare workers on the frontlines risking their lives to fight coronavirus. And, along with the millions of dollars raised, WHO and Global Citizen have also announced a virtual concert to take place on April 18th to show support for the health workers. The One World: Together at home event is going to be a grand one, just look at the lineup - Alanis Morissette, Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Burna Boy, Chris Martin, David Beckham, Eddie Vedder, Elton John, FINNEAS, Idris and Sabrina Elba, J Balvin, John Legend, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, Kerry Washington, Lang Lang, Lizzo, Maluma, Paul McCartney, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Shah Rukh Khan and Stevie Wonder.

As the number of critical COVID-19 cases increases by the day, various hospitals and medical facilities are rapidly falling short of ventilators. Ventilators, for those of you who don't know, are equipment used to help patients breathe. Luckily, a lot of companies have stepped forward to help build ventilators. Tesla is one of the companies that has decided to repurpose its facility and resources to build ventilators for COVID-19 patients. Today, the company released a short video showing how its engineers have managed to build a ventilator prototype. It's a short 3-minute video in which the engineers are giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the prototype. It's worth pointing out that Tesla is using parts of its vehicles to build these ventilators. Obviously, not all of them, but a huge chunk of the prototype consists of parts used in Model 3. In this case, the engineers are using the Model 3 infotainment system to control an airflow manifold. Similarly, the car's suspension air tank is being used as an oxygen chamber, and Model 3's touch screen is being used as a controller. clearly, there's a lot going on here and honestly, it's quite fascinating. © YouTube/ Tesla We hope many more companies will step forward to help fight the coronavirus. It's been a couple of months since the outbreak and a lot of countries, including India, are still under lockdown. We hope to get out of this situation stronger. View the full article

Basically, the entire world is under lockdown right now because of coronavirus and people are allowed to leave their homes for only essentials in most of the countries. While we all are probably risking our lives even when we go for a grocery run to our local store, a guy decided to actually go to a different country to buy his most essential supplies for the lockdown. Apparently a guy walked from France to Spain just to buy cigarettes, and I get it, a smoker would consider cigarettes an essential item, but going all the way to a different country for them? Now that seems excessive. © Pexels He not only risked coronavirus but also the safety regulations put in place due to the virus just to buy 'cheap cigarettes'. Too bad he had to be rescued from the Pyrenees and then got a fine of 135 euros, or about â¹11,000. I'm guessing that amount is much higher than whatever he was saving on Spanish cigarettes. Reportedly, he first set out on the journey in his car but since there was a checkpoint, he decided to continue on foot but he fell into a stream and brambles and got lost before contacting rescuers. Yes, it's pretty stupid but a lot of smokers on Twitter actually can understand. Anything for a smoke, right? More addictive than heroin? Also not good for fighting Corona. pic.twitter.com/RORWEikdnC â Aine (@amobeirne) April 5, 2020 Good one. All his plans went up in smoke â Pan (@Pan20745680) April 5, 2020 Hmm. I used to smoke.

The world of animation can be enthralling if you know where to start. Think of the Pixar creation Up which took the world by storm upon its release in 2009. A whole lot of people were introduced to the world of animation with Carlâs adventure in the film. Over time, many of those fans dug deeper and uncovered a whole new world of animation films. And while many Hollywood heavy-weights came and captured our attention over the years, it was the short animation movies that kept us going in the meantime. Short and crisp with strong plots and adorable characters, short films offer the perfect escape and often true insights into other worlds we often fail to recognise in our daily lives. With a mix of new and old short animated films (which still havenât lost their charm), check out these 6 short animated films for a good time, or if you just want to get started. 1. PurlThis one traces the journey of a ball of yarn named Purl who gets employed in a company run entirely by humans, and how it tries to make its own space within the company by adjusting to suit the office culture. Many have also looked at the film through the prism of women employment in male-dominated industries and the kind of injustice and struggles women face to make a name and space for themselves. 2. PipA 4-minute short film on guide dogs, this one maps the story of a dog named Pip who wants to become a guide dog but doesnât fit all the requirements to join the dog training institute. This film is a reminder that in order to prove ourselves to others, we must have faith in our own skills. 3. SpringAs the name suggests, this film beautifully presents the cycle of nature from one season to another. With a captivating background score, the film tries to understand what goes behind the scenes as one season gives way to another, and how in this case a little shepherd girl manages to free her valley from cold, gloomy winters. 4. The PresentThis one is adorable and inspiring all at once. Through the protagonist of this short film the creators have tried to remind us that our shortcomings should never become an excuse to not try harder and live the life we dream of. And in this case itâs an adorable present that helps us understand it. 5. Hair LoveA story about love and acceptance, this one is the perfect movie for anybody who has been labelled âdifferentâ. This film also successfully reminds us that there is nothing a man or woman canât do just because theyâre traditionally not taught to do it in the first place. Itâs about learning and coming out a winner in the face of a challenge, no matter how small. 6. DustinThis 2014 release is a beautiful story about a little pug named Dustin who has to adjust to living with an unusual housemate, who soon turns into a rival. Though very different in nature, the two have regular face offs until eventually Dustin finds a play-mate in his house-mate. But the realisation comes at a cost. Watch this endearing film to find out why. Before we wrap this up, a quick reminder that Kobe Bryantâs Dear Basketball, award-winning short film Bao and critically acclaimed Dutch short film Mind My Mind also deserve an honorary mention here. Though these amazing animated films are not available for free streaming online, weâd recommend you do give these a watch as well if you wish to take this further! View the full article

Just recently we had informed you about a man in Gujarat who did something unimaginable. Well, he tried to sell the Statue Of Unity for Rs 30,000 crore on OLX. No, he was not high. The most interesting thing about this, though, was his reason to put up such an ad online. He mentioned âurgent money required for Hospitals & Healthcare equipmentâ as the reason for sale. The money, he said, was required to fight against the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus. Now, an FIR has been lodged against him. The memorial to Sardar Patel, at 182 metres, is the world's tallest such structure and has attracted several lakh people since it was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018. © Reuters "Some unknown person placed an advertisement on OLX on Saturday stating he needs to sell the Statue of Unity for Rs 30,000 crore to meet the requirement of money to buy hospitals and healthcare equipment," PTI quoted a Kevadiya police station official, who said quoting the FIR. "The memorial's authorities came to know of the issue after a newspaper ran an article, and approached the police. A cheating and forgery case was registered under IPC, Epidemic Diseases Act and Information Technology Act," Inspector PT Chaudhary told the news agency. Soon after it was made available online, the advertisement was taken off the website. "Despite him not being authorised to sell government property, this unidentified person posted the advertisement on OLX to defame the government and mislead people," PTI quoted a release from the chief administrator of the Statue of Unity. Furthermore, the release added that such an advertisement hurts the sentiments of the several crore of people who idolise Sardar Patel. View the full article

Back in the 90s, we all have watched the Ramayan on TV screens and now thanks to the lockdown, the old days are back as itâs being telecast again on Doordarshan. It has become a hot topic for discussion for people on social media as they are busy sharing their snippet of nostalgia or making memes on it. Thanks to Doordarshanâs Ramayan, people are now also interested in the Bollywood version of Ramayana that would be directed by Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari . In an interview, the director had said he wanted to be prepared with the film's concept before he even decides the star cast. Ramayana is expected to go on floors next year and release in 2021. But let us tell Nitesh, people have already started suggesting their dream cast for the Bollywood version of Ramayana. For the role of Lord Rama, they are suggesting names like Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan or Ranbir Kapoor. Well, for Sitaâs role, the names being popped up are of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif. Take a look at the recommendations by people here: Ramayana CAST: Shree Ram- #HrithikRoshan Sita- #AishwaryaRai Hanuman- #Akshay kumar Ravana- #sunil shetty Dashrath- #AmitabhBachchan Lakshman-#Ranbirkapoor Bharat - # Ranbir singh Shatrugan- #raj kumar rao Surphanka- # Tapsi pannu Kumbkaran- #sanjaydutt https://t.co/dRSvdFWzv9 â Binay kumar (@binaykumar1412) April 5, 2020This started on watts app. Pls ð»everyone participate Send in Ur cast of Ramayana.

Meanwhile, he is currently in the process of developing Ramayana, which will be a trilogy. He told, on the sidelines of Indian Film Project conference, âIt's a massive responsibility, so we will behave in the most responsible manner, you know, yes, there are a lot of sentiments which are involved around Ramayana and all the sentiments should be will be kept in mind." He added, "The only pressure I would like to take is the kind of expectations people have of me and to be able to live up to those expectations. Box office numbers are not in my mind." Considering how people are invested in Ramayana, it will be challenging for the director. Are you excited for the Bollywood version of Ramayana? Let us know in the comments section below.

Healthy competition can be a catalyst for innovation and improvement. This is a general notion and is not limited to just one particular industry. As for tech, well, it's safe to say that there has never been a shortage of competition. In fact, there is always so much going on in the tech space that it's very hard to commit to either side in a duel. But as we mentioned before, it always achieves a satisfactory resolution in the form of better products for us as consumers. Here are a few such rivalries that got a little ugly but gave us incredible products to use - Apple vs Microsoft © Reuters Steve Jobs and Bill Gates come to our mind when we think of Apple vs Microsoft. A battle that raged between the two since the mid-80s is still going strong - be it PC vs Mac, Windows vs macOS, or the more recent one i.e Surface Pro vs the iPad Pro. We wish Windows Phone was still alive, but sadly Android is going to take that up. Anyway, Apple & Microsoft weren't always at loggerheads. They used to work together during the early 80s. In fact, Microsoft had helped Apple develop the software for Apple II. It all started going south after Jobs accused Gates of ripping off Macintosh OS for GUI OS. Gates' famous reply just took it all downhill. "Well, Steve, I think thereâs more than one way of looking at it. I think itâs more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it," he said. And the rest, as they say, is history. © Apple Apple Vs SamsungAfter Microsoft, Samsung is famous or rather infamous for being Apple's archrival. Both of them continued to sue and counter-sue each other in the court for many years over patents. Heck, Apple even managed to get some of the older Samsung devices banned in the process. They finally settled in May 2018, and Samsung had to pay $539 million to Apple for infringing on its competitors' patents. But even today, there's a war going on out there amidst buyers over which company is better at making good phones. Apple Vs Google © Google By now you must be wondering what company Apple hasn't had a rivalry with. Well, let's just say that Jobs was very passionate about his work. Back in 2010 when HTC announced an Android phone with many features similar to that of iPhones, Jobs said, "I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Appleâs $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong." Apple went on a full-blown war with Google after it acquired Android and started rolling out apps like Google Maps, Google Search Engine and more. Things took a U-turn when Apple decided to replace Google Maps with its own solution on the iPhones. Today, the rivalry is seen more like a complicated relationship and they still take jabs on each other from time to time. Facebook Vs Snapchat © Reuters It isn't a well-kept secret, but Snapchat turned down a $3 billion acquisition offer from Facebook. And that marked the beginning of the rivalry between the two. A lot of people thought that Snapchat should have taken the offer, but the company quickly managed to reach a $10 billion valuation. Facebook then tried to get back at Snapchat by launching its own app called Slingshot, however, that didn't really go to plan. There are a lot of other rivalries that come to our mind. Apple Vs IBM, Nvidia vs Intel, Intel vs AMD, Alibaba vs Tencent, and a lot more. They may not have a lot of history to them like the ones discussed above, but let us know which ones you want us to bring to you in detail. View the full article

7 Great Indian Films & Web Series To Watch For Diehard Cricket Fans
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
When you talk about the Indian culture, two entities lead the way amongst other things: Bollywood and cricket. In the past the two entities have come together on multiple occasions and almost every single time, they have not failed to impress. Having said that, because Indian cricket fans are basically crazy and deserve the best of the best, we have shortlisted seven films and web series that you can appreciate while sitting at home: 1. Lagaan The first commercial hit in the country which took the game of cricket as the centerpiece of the story, Lagaan continues to be a fan favourite in the genre. Set in 1893, with British rule in India, the movie presents a unique way in which oppressed farmers struggle to get rid of excessive taxes levied upon them by the Empire. To put it in one sentence, Bhuvan (Aamir Khan) takes it upon himself to assemble a team of players to play a cricket match against Captain Russellâs men in a bid to get rid of three years of tax-paying. The film was not only appreciated in India but also got international acclimation as it became only the third Indian movie to get nominated at the Oscars. 2. Iqbal A touching story of speech-and-hearing-impaired fast bowler who lives and breathes to play for the Indian cricket team, Iqbal shows the relationship between an athlete and his coach, despite their personal differences, working together through multiple hurdles towards success and glory. Shreyas Talpade as Iqbal and Naseeruddin Shah as Mohit (Iqbalâs drunk coach) are absolutely amazing together and do a great job of bringing out the best of emotions from the audience (basically, I cried at the end). 3. Roar Of The Lion Now towards some serious stuff, Hotstarâs docu-series, Roar of The Lion gives an insight about the Indian Premier League franchise, Chennai Super Kings, that made its way back into the league after serving a two-year ban for match-fixing allegations. Former Indian skipper and CSK captain is the star of the show and out of his trust for the director, Kabir Khan, opens up about the scandal that he refers to as the âmost difficult and depressingâ phase of his life. 4. Inside Edge Ah, the cheeky web-series that every cricket fan talks about when they are together. Inside Edge was Prime Videosâs first Indian original series which talks about the behind-the-scenes happenings of the âPowerplay Leagueâ and how the lust for money and power makes individuals indulge in some âunsportsmanlike activities.â The first season of the show was well received by the critics and audience alike and was even nominated for the Best Drama series at 46th International Emmy Awards. 5. Cricket Fever Netflix decided to enter the world of cricket based docu-series with âCricket Feverâ following the lives of the core members of the IPL franchise, Mumbai Indians. It deep-dives into the lives of team owners Akash Ambani and Nita Ambani and moves towards focusing on their skipper Rohit Sharma and other athletes like Hardik and Krunal Pandya. The episodes show how the management and the players work towards forming that one unit which would go on to win the 2019 edition of the Indian T20 league and become the most successful franchise in league history. 6. MS Dhoni-The Untold Story A movie this time, MS Dhoni - The Untold Story captures the former Indian skipperâs life in totality. Right from Dhoniâs days as a young boy, when he was interested in playing football and was the goalkeeper in his school, to his marriage, to winning the 2011 World Cup. Actor Sushant Singh Rajputâs portrayal of the Indian cricketer and Dhoniâs massive fanbase made this movie a grand success both commercially and critically and became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2016. 7. Jersey The tale of an extremely talented athlete unable to make his way into mainstream cricket due to politics and losing his livelihood after losing his government job on false charges of bribery, Jersey is a Telugu-language sports drama weaves a story wonderfully around life of Arjun (Nani) and a promise that he makes to his son Nani (Ronit Kamra). The story was received by the critics who not only praised the drama and the story but more importantly the bonding between the father and son in the film. A Hindi remake of the film with the same title is scheduled to release in August 2020 with Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur in lead roles. View the full article -

At a time when weâre down in the dumps, it shouldnât take much to make us feel good. Even this story of Babar Azam being praised for being the 'best T20I batsman in the world' by a 5-year-old fan is enough to make us feel a little better. Babar Azam The hero of millions including 5-year-old Oscar who sent in this... #WeAreSomersetpic.twitter.com/oxOtDaYVQ9 â Somerset Cricket (@SomersetCCC) April 2, 2020But, as one of the people (Daniel Alexander) who replied to tweet said, âBabar Azam is class, on and off the field. #KingBabarâ Itâs his down-to-Earth response that made us respect him a little more. Babarâs tweet goes, "Hey Oscar, thank you so much for such a kind note. I am so proud of you buddy. You are a rockstar. Study hard & play even harder champ! Look forward to meet you. #RiseAndRiseâ Hey Oscar, thank you so much for such a kind note. I am so proud of you buddy. You are a rockstar. Study hard & play even harder champ! Look forward to meet you. #RiseAndRisehttps://t.co/ZKEVVhwM3b â Babar Azam (@babarazam258) April 2, 2020 Irrespective of the whole India-Pakistan rivalry and whatever your personal feelings and beliefs are, itâs important to give credit where creditâs due. The response is impeccable. I mean thatâs exactly how Iâd imagine replying to one of my fans on social media, if I had any that is. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the response, though, is that itâs something Umar Akmal can learn from. I donât think I need to justify myself here. Of course, Umar Akmal needs lessons on how to tweet. Who doesnât remember his infamous 'mother from another brother' tweet? Now, imagine if Babar had passed on some of his wisdom to the younger Akmal sibling. Letâs hope one day in the near future we see Umar Akmal tweeting something similar for one of his fans. (Does he have any?) And while Umarâs learning from Babar, perhaps he can take some tips on how to be the best T20I batsman as well? No hate Umar, weâre all friends here. Peace. Iâm ending with some of the responses people had to Babarâs tweet. Enjoy! Perhaps one of his biggest fans? What a kind soul Babar. And then we have people like Kohli who received the "Spirit of the Cricket Award" for doing all kinds of nuisance on and off the field. Someone like Babar or Kane deserved that award. â (@okaySTFU007) April 2, 2020 Even Oscarâs dad replied: Oscar is going to be so chuffed when he finds out in the morning that you sent him a message I will video his surprised face... cheers...stay well stay safe â Andrew larder2 (@andrewlarder) April 2, 2020 Obviously thereâs someone trying to get a shout out from their favourite cricketers: Bhai appreciate kardainpic.twitter.com/ZjCFPsfDBP â Muhammad sohail (@iamsohail86) April 2, 2020 Some people donât even care about the tweet. They just want a picture of Babar for their phones: Bro can you send me this wallpaper please â Raheelðµð° (@Raheel0194) April 3, 2020 View the full article

The Coronavirus pandemic has exponentially increased mask usage around the world, and rightfully so. If masks can prevent you from inhaling the droplets infected with the virus, it makes sense to always be protected with the gear. However, unfortunately, it's not practical for everyone to wear a mask or even accessible, especially for people with disabilities. A college student in Kentucky, United States, Ashley Lawrence noticed this accessibility issue with masks and has tried to bridge the gap. © Ashley Lawrence/ Twitter Face masks cover the mouth, making it harder for the deaf and the hard of hearing to communicate. With the help of her mother, Ashley, a 21-year-old studying education for the deaf and hard of hearing, made face masks with a clear and transparent panel in the middle, for the visibility of the mouth of the wearer. This mask then provides assistance for people with disabilities. A mask with a visible panel can enable people to read lips or speak the Sign Language. © Ashley Lawrence/ Twitter This especially helps as the use of the hands and face for communication could put people with disabilities who are forced to communicate without a mask at higher risk for contracting COVID-19. In such a scenario, a mask like this makes all the difference. © Ashley Lawrence/ Twitter Ashley Lawrence had noticed this gap, "I felt like there was a huge population that was being looked over," Lawrence told Lex 18. "We're all panicking right now and so a lot of people are just not being thought of. So, I felt like it was very important that, even at a time like this, people need to have that communication." In an attempt to bridge it, Ashley Lawrence said she and her mother initiated the process of experimenting with versatile materials to make different types of masks. These included a kind that would wrap around the head or neck to accommodate people with cochlear implants or hearing aids. In just a matter of days, Ashley has received dozens of orders which she's making for free currently. View the full article

After Gordon Ramsay, Gino D'Acampo and Fred Sirieix's show, Gordon, Gino, and Fred: American Road Trip made a return this week, one of the episodes saw Gordon Ramsay receiving rather traumatic news. He discovered, through fellow show host, Gino that his daughter Tilly, 18, was on a date at his London restaurant, Heddon Street Kitchen, with Gino's son Luciano. Take a look at the hilarious video here. View this post on InstagramHow NOT to let Gordon Ramsay find out youâre dating his daughter ð¬ð Gordon, Gino & Fred: American Road Trip, Thursdays at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub @gordongram @iamginodacampo @fred_sirieixA post shared by (@itv) The phone call took place when Luciano decided to check up on his dad Gino, who had been involved in an accident while travelling through Mexico. During the FaceTiming session with each other, Luciano decided to tease both his dad, Gino, and Ramsay by saying "Do you know who I'm with?" before he moved the camera towards Gordon's daughter. Quite evidently, Gordon exclaimed, "What the hell? Tilly! What are you doing, Matilda?!" and was visibly annoyed with her. To which his daughter replied nonchalantly, "Oh, sorry. I must have forgotten." Fred, the third presenter of the show then decided to make things even more awkward by adding some cringe-worthy advice. He said, "it's OK to kiss on the first date, if you feel the urge, you've got to do it". "Mamma mia!" replied a livid Gordon. View the full article

The Coronavirus has now become the source for scores of people losing their jobs in just months of this virus being discovered. The necessity of staying at home in order to practice social distancing and help the world get over this crisis as efficiently as possible, has brought the global economy to shambles. While people belonging to the middle class are finding it difficult to keep up with their livelihood, others with an even weaker economic background, are completely dependent on donations, charities and the provisions made available by their government. Delhi: Army Wives Welfare Association has prepared 2500 food packets for migrant labourers. The packets will be handed over to government representatives in Delhi Cantt today. pic.twitter.com/3ijlBBKTpW â ANI (@ANI) March 31, 2020 Keeping the same in mind, former Indian cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh decided to put out a couple of tweets to encourage their followers to look beyond their national boundaries and support former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridiâs NGO, Shahid Afridi Foundation. Hereâs what the cricketers posted online: Harbhajan Singh: The world is passing through extremely testing and unprecedented times.Letâs do our bit to help @SAfridiOfficial @SAFoundationN doing gr8 work plz join hands with them nd contribute what ever u can https://t.co/t9OvfEPp79 for covid19 @wasimakramlive @YUVSTRONG12 @shoaib100mph pic.twitter.com/sB2fxCAQqY â Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) March 29, 2020 âThe world is passing through extremely testing and unprecedented times.Letâs do our bit to help @SAfridiOfficial @SAFoundationN doing gr8 work plz join hands with them nd contribute what ever u can http://donatekarona.com for covid19 @wasimakramlive @YUVSTRONG12 @shoaib100mph,â he wrote.

Happy with the kind of support shown by two great Indian stars of their time, Afridi personally thanked Yuvi and Bhajji for their seamless support to his cause in a tweet of his own: Thank you for all you support-both yourself & my brother @harbhajan_singh are huge pillars of support; this bond we have shows love & peace transgresses borders when it comes to humanity especially.

Best wishes to you with your noble endeavours with @YOUWECAN #DonateKaroNa,â wrote the Pakistani athlete. However, not all the followers of the two Indian cricketers were as enthusiastic about donating to Afridiâs cause as their idols. Instead, they used a hashtag: #SHAMEONYUVIBHAJJI to show their rage against them for this âshameful actâ: Extremely sad to see this. U have lost all the respect @harbhajan_singh .. everything. He breaks his TV bcoz his wife was watching programs with hindu rituals. He hates india and indian army. U have done a shameful act. https://t.co/6lTKXAtjvw â Shailendra Singh (@shaksingh) March 31, 2020 They were even called âabsolute jerksâ.

At the moment, this lockdown situation is not the only thing that is extremely trying but people around are doing some crazy things that are actually quite cringe-worthy. In an unusual incident that took place on Sunday in Washington, a man was arrested. And for a super bizarre reason. No, it was not for rash driving or drunk driving, but he actually made his Pitbull sit in the driver's seat and made him drive the car at a high-speed. Really disappointing, must say. © iStock According to reports, the man was driving quite erratically and recklessly. The troopers attempted to stop the suspect's car. When the car finally stopped, it wasn't a man but a Pitbull sitting in the driver's seat as it turns out the man had been accelerating and steering the car. © iStock Officials have also reported that the man was driving over 100 mph. The 51-year-old Lakewood man tried to evade as much as he could and drove recklessly on Centennial Trail, a trail for pedestrians and bicyclists. Luckily, no one was hurt during this incident. Later, the troopers were successful in ending this chase. The man has been charged many felonies that include drugs and rash driving as well. After he was booked, he simply had one answer that he was trying to 'teach his dog to drive a car.' © iStock The Washington State Patrol has taken everything into consideration and this man has now been charged for hit and run and reckless endangerment. The bond has been set to $8,500. On this, Axtman also added "I've been a trooper for almost 12 years and wow, I've never heard this excuse. I've been in a lot of high-speed chases, I've stopped a lot of cars, and never have I gotten an excuse that they were teaching their dog how to drive." © iStock As far as the dog is concerned, he has been sent to an animal shelter while the owner is now arrested. This is an insane act and no one has the right to put anyone else's life in danger. View the full article
