Virat Kohli has kept himself away from the spotlight ever since he relinquished the Test captaincy after India’s series defeat in South Africa. Kohli put out a statement on social media and did not interact with the media after stepping down as India skipper in the longest format of the game. And now, the prolific India batter has spoken on captaincy for the first time since vacating his leadership duties across all formats. © Reuters Kohli, on an episode of Fireside Chat with Virat Kohli, said that everything has a ‘tenure and time period’ and as an individual, you have to be aware of it. “See, I think firstly you need to have a complete understanding of what you set out to achieve and whether you have achieved those targets or not. Everything has a tenure and time period, so you have to be aware of it. As a batter, you might be able to give more to the team, so take pride in that,” Kohli said. The former captain also said that one doesn’t need a label of captaincy to be a leader within a team. Indicating that senior players are automatically involved in the decision-making process in Team India. Virat Kohli completes catches in Test cricket He is the sixth Indian fielder, who isn't a wicket-keeper, to get to the milestone in Tests. Watch #SAvIND live on https://t.co/CPDKNxoJ9v (in select regions)#WTC23 | https://t.co/Wbb1FE1P6t pic.twitter.com/g7eoPK0wnB — ICC (@ICC) January 12, 2022 “You do not need to be a captain to be the leader. When MS Dhoni was in the team, it was not like he was not the leader, he was still the guy from whom we wanted to have inputs. To win or not win is not in your hands, the striving for excellence and to be better every day, is not something you can do short term. When it comes to a culture, it will last beyond your playing years and your responsibility,” he added. While Kohli’s stance on captaincy speaks volumes of the kind of maturity he has reached during his stint as the captain of the side and playing alongside his idol MS Dhoni. Some fans just could not stop themselves from having an unnecessary go at the former skipper. Soon after Kohli’s comments went viral, people started bashing him for his take on the captaincy after stepping down from the leadership role. Ego is still not gone of chokli so shame . — Ayush (@iMHitman__45) January 31, 2022Ego of chokli on his peak , it will lead him to be dropped from team , bookmark this tweet — Ayush (@iMHitman__45) January 31, 2022So now when We win under Rohit he can say I was the leader but not the captain , great stuff kudos to big brain time https://t.co/ugDxrtStjz — Mr. Critic . (@ChiragA45) January 31, 2022Kohli have no shame left ... Reason why he didn't win any trophy — ∆ S H I M (@BiggestRoFan) January 31, 2022These comments were totally uncalled for as Kohli was just trying to emphasise the fact that even after stepping down from captaincy, a player still very much remains a key part of the leadership group. Rather than appreciating Kohli for his role in creating an inclusive environment within the team to allow all the players to be part of the decision-making process, the unnecessary dig at the former skipper shows why as a cricket fanbase, it is important for Indian fans to grow up and avoid spreading needless hate on social media towards players.

Gigi and Bella Hadid grow close amid Zayn Malik family dispute
ADMIN posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
The sisters have been providing each other ample support throughout this rough time -
Every time I checked in with a newly launched running community, it seemed like there were more and more new people posting. As a result, I found it harder to find my friends' latest run write-ups and even harder to reply directly to them. Speaking with other early adopters, they felt the same way, and we all eventually drifted out of the community's orbit. It's natural to want your community to grow; indeed, a lot of community management strategies are based on increasing registrations and scaling upwards. However, your early adopters may feel very different about growth as they watch their close friendship circles dissolve as more members join and begin posting. A small and tightly connected community is very different from a large sprawling community, and often our business goals as community managers can be at odds with our member's goals. Let's take a look at the problem and then the solution. A new community is small and personal. Your early adopters will make friends fast by sharing their experiences and stories. They start to learn about each other and actively look forward to new posts and content. It's easy to keep track of the conversations and people in those early days when memberships are still in their infancy. Before themes and topics drive your community, the primary reason your members return is to strengthen burgeoning bonds. As your thriving community grows, more names appear, generating more posts and content. It can become harder to keep track of those personal conversations and friends. For those early adopters, it becomes overwhelming, and the feel of the community changes. The key to growth is to do it with consideration and understanding by allowing your members to retain smaller friendship circles within the larger community. Think of these small circles as a secure basecamp your members will use to explore more of the community together. How you structure your community can heavily influence member behaviour, so let's ensure you are set up for success. Forum structure Deciding how many forums to have largely depends on the size of your community. Generally, fewer is better; however, adding more when activity increases is recommended. Using the example of a running community, when you have few members, a single topic can be used to keep track of workouts; however, as membership increases, a dedicated forum where members can post and maintain their own workout log topic makes it easier for others to find specific member's logs rather than trawling through a long busy topic. If you're in doubt, asking your community is always a great way to draw out real honest feedback and guidance on how to improve. Nerd Fitness forums allow each member to maintain their own training log in their busy forum Clubs Creating a sub-community is a big decision. On the one hand, you syphon off discussion to areas outside the main community, but this can be an advantage if you want members to retain their smaller friendship circles. On the other hand, you may find an appetite for more niched discussion within your topic. For example, while your site may be based around road running, you may have a small group specifically interested in mountain running. Using a club allows them to follow that passion without altering the core purpose of your community. Even though our own community is here to serve our clients, we have a health club where members can discuss health and fitness away from the community's primary aim Follow Using the robust follow and notification tools is an efficient way to let members know when a favoured member posts something new or a loved topic gets a reply. Make sure your members know how to set up notifications and the different ways to receive them, such as via mobile, email, or the community's bell. Your members need not miss a friends update again. We have a very comprehensive follow system Discover Activity streams allow members to personalise their first point of discovery. In addition, the flexibility of the streams will enable members to choose which member's content to see and which forum's content to include in a single news feed style stream. Giving your members the ability to customise which content they see when they first visit the community allows them to check in with their favourite areas before exploring the rest of the community. NerdFitness use streams to show content for each 'guild' Growing a community from a handful of people to tens of thousands takes a lot of planning. Unfortunately, it's easy to focus on just numbers and forget about the people behind them. However, aligning your business goals with your members' goals is critical when growing beyond your early adopters. Setting up your community for success using our built-in tools will help your members feel comfortable as you grow.

Are you dissatisfied with your arms not growing in size despite lifting heavy? Do you keep looking at Hrithik Roshan's pictures and wonder how to get bigger arms, strong and muscular, just like him? Well you're not the only one. Every man who is relatively new to the gym and hasn't yet figured out the trick to grow bigger arms, goes through the same. View this post on InstagramBut worry not, for we've got your back (and arms)! How To Grow Bigger ArmsGrowing bigger arms is a balancing act that oscillates between proper workout, proper form, consistency, rest, and proper nutrition. While everyone knows the basics in theory, there are some mistakes that are not letting you grow your arms as big, strong, and muscular like Hrithik Roshan's guns. Why Are Your Arms Not Growing?1. Focusing Only On Biceps © iStock Everyone loves that bicep pump, but will focusing only on biceps make your arms grow bigger? The answer is a resounding 'NO'. When it comes to your arm's musculature, the triceps make up almost 70% of the muscle mass. The remaining 30% is built by biceps. Naturally, if you want bigger arms, the focus should be more on triceps than on biceps. 2. Not Enough Rest © iStock Muscle doesn't grow during exercise, but breaks down instead. Muscle repairs and grows in size during rest. Hence, overtraining without enough rest can be a big reason why your arms aren't growing bigger and stronger. 3. Lifting Too Much Weight © iStock Even though popular belief states 'the heavier you lift, the bigger you get', that's not entirely true. Ego lifting with wrong posture, while using swinging motions and the body's momentum, will take you nowhere. The muscle fibres need to be engaged with careful voluntary targeting, failing which you will never be able to grow your arms. 4. Improper Nutrition © iStock Even if you're killing it in the gym, the arm muscles will only grow when your nutrition is on point. To begin with, you need to have 1.6-2.2 gm of protein per kg of your body weight. Plus, if specifically muscle building is the key (and not fat loss), going on a calorie surplus is more beneficial. Not focusing on nutrition can be lethal for your gains. 5. Curling/Lifting Too Fast © iStock Sometimes, when the weight is too much, one tends to do super fast curls for convenience - that coupled with body momentum, completely renders your workouts ineffective. Slower, targeted curls and lifts, while maintaining mind-muscle connection, are going to ensure that your arms grow faster. 6. Targeting Forearms/Shoulders Instead Of Arms © iStock During multiple arm lifts, especially while training biceps, one tends to curl their forearms and lift using their shoulder and back strength in order to adjust heavy weights. That will only make you lift the weight, but will not contribute to targeted muscle growth. Postural corrections may be required if you're suffering from that while training arms in the gym. These are some of the reasons that may be responsible for your arms not growing. If you want to grow your arms faster, take note of these points, act on them, and see your guns grow as big and strong as Hrithik Roshan's. All the best! View the full article

Best Beard Growth Tips & Myths - The Ultimate Guide On How To Grow A Beard
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Are you looking for beard growth tips because growing one seems to be a challenge? Don't worry, you're not the only one. Growing a beard fast and trying out that grunge look, either for first timers or experienced pogonophiles, can be exciting, but the challenge begins when the beard refuses to grow as fast as you'd like it to grow. Let us understand the science behind beard growth to begin with. © iStock Can Everyone Grow A Beard?It depends on certain factors. No matter what you do, expecting dramatic beard growth if your genetics isn't on board, will set you up for disappointment. Sometimes, there just aren't enough hair follicles on your face, and there's nothing you can do about this, except perhaps blaming your parents and their parents. Nothing can override genetics, and that is the ugly truth. © iStock How To Grow A Beard At Home Faster?To grow a beard fast, you need to first commit to it. Technically you have to do nothing because it will grow on its own, but there are certain challenges that will crop up during the various stages of beard growth - right from clean shaven, to small and then big stubble, and then the full grown beard. Maintaining a good beard grooming routine, religiously, should help a great deal in achieving this. © iStock Beard Growth Tips To Follow To Grow A Beard Faster?1. When you start growing the beard, it will potentially look strange for the first few days, if you're not used to the stubble aesthetic. Wait it out. 2. When the stubble grows out further, there is a possibility that the beard will start to itch. It is perfectly normal, and there are ways to control an itchy beard. 3. Your beard will need regular washing, moisturizing, and conditioning to grow into the glorious face mane you wanted it to become. 4. While you need to be patient while growing it out, you also need to know when to trim and shape it properly in order to not look messy. © iStock What Product To Use For Faster Beard Growth?While there is no specific product that will magically give you a glorious beard, there are products you can use to deal with the problems faced while growing a beard, such as: 1. Beard wash/shampoo 2. Beard oil 3. Beard balm 4. Beard serum 5. Beard conditioner 6. Beard softener 7. Beard Brush/comb Using them judiciously will ensure you can manage an itchy beard, and your beard will always stay maintained. Now that the basics are out of the way, let us discuss how you can actually make a difference to your beard growth rate without cosmetic intervention. Beard Growth Tips - How To Actually Make Beard Grow Faster Through Lifestyle Modifications:1. Be patientThis may not sound very helpful, but trust us, more often than not, the lack of patience is the real reason behind the lack of a beard when it comes to some people. Everyone has different beard growth rates, and not everyone is blessed with fast beard growth. Beard grows patchy or uneven for a few weeks, and bam, the impatience makes them get rid of it because it wasn't 'growing properly'. There are some baseless theories that suggest one can have a full beard within 3-4 weeks, and some that suggest it shouldn't take more than 2 months to grow a full beard. Please don't believe any of them. All beards are different and some just take their own sweet time. Just bear with the patchiness and uneven growth for a while, give it time, and you shall see your face bear(d) the fruit of that patience! © iStock 2. Focus on your nutritionApplying the fanciest of lotions and potions is not going to help you, if your diet is poor and non-nutritious. Now, a good diet will not override genetics, but if we put that aside, it will definitely make your beard grow faster, and make it healthier and shinier. In order to have fast beard growth, one needs to have plenty of protein, foods high in iron and zinc, as well as whole grains and healthy fats. Vitamins A, B, C, D, and E also help, and they can be found in fruits and vegetables. © iStock Applying the fanciest of lotions and potions is not going to help you, if your diet is poor and non-nutritious.

In order to have fast beard growth, one needs to have plenty of protein, foods high in iron and zinc, as well as whole grains and healthy fats. Vitamins A, B, C, D, and E also help, and they can be found in fruits and vegetables. 3. Exercise © iStock You should exercise anyway to get healthier, but it has a substantial role to play in beard growth as well. Exercising facilitates healthy blood flow, and circulation helps stimulate hair follicle growth. Also, resistance training may temporarily boost testosterone, which helps in hair and beard growth. Exercising will also prevent chances of obesity, which is a contributing factor behind low testosterone. 4. Quit Smoking © iStock Smoking impacts blood circulation in the body, and therefore decreases capillary blood flow to the hair root. As a result, the cells are denied optimum conditions that facilitate beard growth. In other words, smoking causes degeneration that is similar to ageing. Hence, for better, optimum, and faster beard growth, one must consider quitting smoking. 5. Sleep © iStock Sleeping is of paramount importance when it comes to faster beard growth. Sleeping boosts testosterone, and also recovery of your system. In fact, the testosterone in the system is primarily released during sleep, without which beard growth will definitely be stunted. 6. Washing and Moisturizing © iStock Washing and moisturizing your beard may not directly facilitate faster growth, but will definitely help in an indirect manner. Washing your beard thoroughly will ensure the removal of debris and dry skin on your beard follicles, and moisturizing it will make sure that the skin underneath, as well as the beard itself are well hydrated and nourished. 7. Beard oil/Lotion/Balm © iStock While it has not been proven scientifically that beard oils, lotions, and balms actually help with faster beard growth, there are theories that state some extracts may help. However, they do help with moisturizing and managing the beard, and definitely improves how the beard looks. Moreover, the circulation involved in massaging them into the beard facilitates improved blood circulation, which may be helpful in faster beard growth. Now that we have discussed what we can do to facilitate faster beard growth, let us look at the other side of the coin. What does not help in faster beard growth? There are a lot of myths that keep floating around, and end up being the reason for disappointment for innocent, trusting individuals. Let us bust some of them: Myth: Shaving is good for beard growth © iStock Truth: This is one of the biggest myths. Shaving only cuts the beard hair, and in no way controls the beard beneath the skin. It has no effect on beard growth at all. Some people believe this to be true and keep shaving frequently with the hope that it will make their beard grow faster and thicker, but in reality it does not bear fruit. Myth: One needs pills and supplements to make beard grow faster © iStock Truth: According to science, there is no specific pill or supplement that will make your beard grow faster, except perhaps some specific medications such as Minoxidil, which we shall address at the end of this article. Myth: A beard takes about 3-4 weeks to fully cover your face © iStock Truth: All beards have different growth rates, and a beard can take a much longer or shorter period of time to fully grow out, depending on genes and other factors. Myth: You should have a full beard by the age of 20 © iStock Truth: Beard growth depends on one's genetic makeup and it is absolutely not true that all beards reach peak growth by the age of 20. Some people may have sufficient beard growth by the age of 18, while some may have to wait till 26-27-28 to have a full growth. Myth: A patchy beard will always remain patchy © iStock Truth: Just like different individuals have different beard growth rates, different areas on the face may have different growth rates as well. If you have a patchy beard, be patient and the areas with less beard growth may fill out eventually. Even if they don't fill out, after a bit of growth, those areas will successfully be concealed. Finally, is there any external factor or medicine that can help with beard growth at all? When it comes to medicine, Minoxidil can always be considered. While Minoxidil is essentially a medicine that is prescribed to facilitate hair growth on bald patches on the scalp, it may still be prescribed in certain cases. While scientifically there is no proof that Minoxidil specifically works for beard growth, this 2016 study found that a 3% Minoxidil lotion performed slightly better than a placebo.

Continuing with his brilliant form, Indian opener Rohit Sharma played another masterful knock, scoring 83 runs on the opening day of the second Test at Lord's. After winning the toss, England skipper Joe Root asked India to bat as he wanted to make most of the moisture in the pitch and overcast conditions but Indian openers Rohit and KL Rahul foiled their game plan. © Twitter/BCCI Rohit started watchfully but grew in confidence as the innings progressed and scored runs all over the park. Rohit has been batting well, both home and overseas, for quite some time now but always managed to lose his wicket. Breaking that trend, he scored his first half-century of the series and was looking determined more than ever to convert his start into a big score, reach the three-figure mark, something which he hasn’t been able to achieve outside of India. © Twitter/BCCI A batsman needs to have luck on his side to score big runs in cricket, they say. Even Rohit rode his luck early on in his innings when a couple of inside edges missed the stumps by a whisker while the outside edges didn’t carry to the slip cordon. It seemed as if the ‘Hitman’ was ready to make history at Lord’s. He was on the verge of becoming the first Indian opener to register his name in the Lord’s Honours board in over a decade. While it’s hard to quantify the amount of pain a heartbreak causes, Indian supporters felt that pain when Rohit, despite batting magnificently for close to 25 overs, missed out of an opportunity to score his maiden ton overseas, falling short of the three-figure mark by 17 runs. Rohit Sharma's innings comes to an end on 83. Live - https://t.co/KGM2YELLde #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/2omhy77DFq — BCCI (@BCCI) August 12, 2021 James Anderson bowled a beautiful in-swinger, which Rohit failed to defend, and it went through the gate and crashed onto his stumps, giving England their first breakthrough. The bowler deserves all the praise for executing his skills to perfection and creating doubt in the batsman's mind. But finding an excuse is what Indian supporters are best at, so they blamed the commentators’ curse for Rohit’s dismissal. He does what was expected of him when was brought in this session. I am talking of Sanjay Manjrekar. He came, he talked up Rohit in ways that were uneasy, and eventually delivered the commentator's curse. — K Balakumar (@kbalakumar) August 12, 2021i was thnkn Rohit Sharma was playing so well how d hell did he miss tht ball, Then came to knw Sanjay Manjrekar was on d mic. pic.twitter.com/8FPIrsIMLJ — subin (@Being_Subin) August 12, 2021Sanjay Manjrekar starts talking up Rohit Sharma and he gets bowled.

Meanwhile, Fans to Sanjay Manjrekar ! pic.twitter.com/iDLLc0o1k5 — Sathya (@Sathya46817012) August 12, 2021So Manjrekar was the commentator during Rohit's wicket. So now we know why. — G. (@Bibliophileeyy) August 12, 2021Panauti @sanjaymanjrekar strikes again. @SonySportsIndia can you please tell me what needs to be done by us viewers to remove Sanjay Manjrekar out of the Commentary Panel for good. #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/vvzovvrwFK — Bargav Rangan (@animeshwar) August 12, 2021And Manjrekar's panauti continues. I was just typing out asking @bhogleharsha to come in the commentary box for sometime given what he was saying on Rohit's runs. Was so sure he'd get out because Sanjay kaka was talking abt it. @ovshake42 @joybhattacharj#INDvENG #RohitSharma — Manas Gubbi (@manas_gubbi) August 12, 2021 According to them, Anderson wasn’t the reason why Rohit got out. Sanjay Manjrekar, who was commentating on the game sitting in a studio in Mumbai miles away from the venue, is what led to Rohit’s dismissal, after all, he holds the unnatural power of jinxing anything. They argued that Rohit was in firm control before Majrekar started praising his knock and they knew what was coming. These are the very people who don’t have a clue of their own future but they predicted Rohit’s future beforehand. How stupid is that? © Twitter Playing the blame game and pointing fingers at someone is the easiest thing to do in this world. We all have to accept that it just wasn’t Rohit’s day and the kind of form he is in right now, it’s just a matter of time that he scored his maiden Test ton on foreign soil. As far as his wicket is concerned, if Manjrekar really had such jinxing power, don’t you think oppositions would be flocking his doors to acquire his services whenever they played against India or any country for that matter. © Twitter To some extent, analysts like Manjrekar have played a major role in popularising this term ‘commentators’ curse’ as they repeat it again and again while on-air whenever a player is about to reach a milestone. For me, they are equal culprits. View the full article

In this current world of fierce competition between the biggest companies fighting for the top spot in the market, we rarely see a gesture of cooperation or love between rival firms. © iStock Be it Apple or Samsung, Xbox or Playstation, Pepsi or Coca Cola, everyone wants to be better than the other, and that's why we don't really see them lauding each other very often. © iStock Well, that trend was certainly changed by a heartwarming gesture from a 'big' company in India. In what is considered to be the biggest example of sportsmanship and respect, Indian food delivery company, Swiggy sent a lovely good luck message to rivals Zomato for opening its IPO for subscription on Wednesday (July 14). © VCCircle The message was sent across to Zomato by Swiggy Executive Harnidh Kaur, who took to Twitter to write, "Cheering our friends on because we all grow together.

Best of luck for the IPO, Zomato! pic.twitter.com/khpl9sNpex — harnidh (@chiaseedpuddin) July 14, 2021 While the message was, of course, sent as a gesture of enhancing camaraderie between the two biggest food delivery giants in India, people noted how Swiggy was smart enough to capitalize on their rival's big day.

Just ordered a triple breakfast @zomato. Stress eating 🤯 — Deepinder Goyal (@deepigoyal) July 14, 2021— Deepinder Goyal (@deepigoyal) July 14, 2021Following his tweets, Zomato head Rahul Ganjoo, also echoed similar thoughts using a gif. pic.twitter.com/7BlvyiWipc — Rahul Ganjoo (@elegantlywasted) July 14, 2021 The Gurgaon-headquartered food delivery giant's Rs 9,375 crores initial public offering (IPO) will be open for subscription for three days, with the company pricing its IPO at Rs 72-76 per share. There is bound to be a lot of excitement and tension on such a tremendous development within the company touted to have a great future in the country.

The Only 5 Ways That Can Help Men Grow A Beard In No Time At Home
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Let's admit that growing a beard is a challenging and arduous task, which requires an immense amount of patience. Agreed, but what if you could actually grow one from the comfort of your home since we are in a state of lockdown again? There are things that you can do that will help speed up the process. Besides the basic grooming sesh, here are some additional ingredients that will help your beard grow faster. Try it out: 1. Massage Your Face Everyday © iStock Start by washing your face with lukewarm water and use a gentle cleanser. Washing your beard and face regularly will help remove the dirt and grime from the face as well as the follicles. Once you have washed your face, use your fingers and apply gentle pressure on your face. Massage in circular motions on the beard-growing area. Do this every day for at least 10 minutes and as often as you can. 2. Try Home-Made Recipes © iStock There are some home remedies as well that help with faster beard growth. Since these are all homemade, they won't cause any harm to your skin. You can try using a mixture of lemon and cinnamon. With 1 tbsp of both lemon and cinnamon, you can make a paste and apply it to your beard and leave it on for at least 20 minutes. Use a cleanser to wash it off. You can also use dry mustard leaves with amla oil and use this paste on the beard. Follow the same method and use it every day for faster results. 3. Oil Treatment © iStock Olive oil is also an excellent agent when it comes to dealing with beards. The DHT reduction properties in the oil help with issues like hair thinning. Olive oil is said to be an excellent conditioner for your beard, as it nourishes the follicles and thereby stimulates hair growth. To use it, you can combine it with either coconut oil or eucalyptus oil. Mix them together and apply the solution to the beard area. Let it sit for 10 minutes before you rinse it off. 4. Exfoliation © iStock Besides using oils and creams, you also need to exfoliate your skin from time to time to get rid of dead skin cells as it hinders hair growth. Exfoliation also helps get rid of excess sebum buildup. You can make your own facial scrub at home. You can mix brown sugar with olive oil or rock salt. Try out using honey, brown sugar or lemon juice. Another exfoliator that works well is coffee, with olive oil or water. Prepare any of these scrubs and scrub your skin with them. Wash it off after a few minutes. 5. Use Beard Oil Or Softener © iStock While every product varies in this regard, using oils or softeners can help stimulate hair growth. You can make beard oil at home as well. One of the best hair growth combinations is tea tree oil mixed with eucalyptus oil. These oils hydrate your beard and it also smells good. Take a few drops of both the oils. Add some almond oil to it. Now, massage the mixture on your beard and keep it for at least 15 minutes. View the full article -
