7 Conditioners Under INR 199 That'll Make You The Superhero Of Hair
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
It's alarming how most men aren't aware of the importance of conditioning their hair. A shampoo is indispensable, yes, but all that does is clean up the hair. What about the rest of the procedure? While shampoo opens up the hair cuticle, it's the job of a conditioner to seal the nutrients inside, while keeping pollutants out. To understand it better, imagine that each hair strand made up of scales (almost like a fish). When the hair gets damaged, the scales stand up, thereby making your hair look dull. A conditioner smoothens up the scales while strengthening the hair shaft, preventing breakage, split ends, and even hair loss. So, for healthy and shiny hair, using a conditioner is a must. Here is a list of the best budget conditioners available in the market right now. All of them are under INR 199. 1.

Padmaavat has crossed the INR 100 crore mark since its opening on Thursday (January 25). According to estimates, the movie earned Indian Rs114 crore at the local box office with its highest earnings coming on Sunday. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed film stars Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh in lead roles. After much controversy, the film opened this past week. Extremist groups in India claimed the film portrays queen Padmavati falsely, which has been denied by producers. Trouble first hit the movie in January last year when Rajput Karni Sena members attacked the film?s director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and vandalised the set during filming in Rajasthan. Members of the fringe group threatened to attack cinemas, including with swords, on Thursday while hundreds of women have said they are ready to perform a mass self-immolation if screenings go ahead. Hardliners also offered bounties of up to INR 50 million ($769,000) to anyone who "beheaded" lead actress Deepika Padukone or Bhansali. Several states ? including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab ? tried to ban the film but India?s Supreme Court has ruled that this would violate creative freedoms. It was initially due to hit screens on December 1 but filmmakers pushed back the release date and earlier this month India?s censor board cleared it with five changes.

Rare cars are often auctioned off for ridiculous amounts, like the LaFerrari Aperta we talked about just a few days ago, but you know shit has hit the ceiling when a ramshackle car found in a barn sells for over $2 million, even if it is a Ferrari Daytona from nearly half a century ago. © RM Sotheby's Even if it is the only one of its kind ever to have been made. What good is it to you if you probably can't even drive it? © RM Sotheby's Who are we fooling? It's fucking awesome that despite having done 36,390km in its life and having moved across continents, driven around by many before landing up caged in the barnyard of its Japanese owner Makoto Takai, the aluminium alloy body of the only Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta Alloy shows no sign of wear. © RM Sotheby's It is every bit worth the $2.17 million. © RM Sotheby's Whoever made the purchase will, however, get the vehicle in an unrestored condition. © RM Sotheby's The Daytona was found with layers of dust on the exterior and rather worn out interiors and one could say that the cabin appears to have been treated like a trash can. © RM Sotheby's There is no information on whether the car is in drivable condition, and we're guessing it isn't based on the looks of it, but that's of no concern to a vintage car collector, since most of these vehicles end up as static pieces of art, anyway. © RM Sotheby's Unlike the LaFerrari prototype that was sold for $7 million, on the condition that it would remain stationary and not be driven at all, this Ferrari can very much be driven around because it was released as the only street-legal version out of five 365 GTB/4s. If it can be powered up, it is capable of going up to 280kmph and can reach 0-97kmph in 5.4 seconds thanks to its 4.4 litre Coloumbo V12 engine. © RM Sotheby's

Game of Thrones fans, last season was too good to watch; after all, we had our hands on some of the episodes (on our laptops basically) even before its release. Well, the makers definitely realised how amazingly talented the hackers are when it comes to piracy and have decided to do something sneaky to keep hackers at bay. In order to avoid all the fiasco and spoil the last season of the most watched series, makers have come up with an amazing idea. Well, they know if season 8's episodes are leaked it will be written in history. Yeah, kind of! So they have decided to shoot multiple endings for the last season of GOT. Fans and hackers, if you think you are smart, it seems like makers are smarter! Speaking of The Morning Call, the head of HBO, Casey Bloys, talked about their intention to do so and said, “I know in Game of Thrones, the ending, they're going to shoot multiple versions so that nobody really knows what happens . You have to do that on a long show. Because when you're shooting something, people know. So they're going to shoot multiple versions so that there's no real definitive answer until the end." As many of us, HBO served a major hack this year and couple of the episodes were released online before it was officially aired. © HBO Talking about what the finale could be, he said, "Finales are tough. If you think about Six Feet Under, well, that was a pretty good finale. But if you think about Seinfeld, if you think about The Sopranos, if you think about Breaking Bad... Everybody has an opinion about how a show should end." Now it is obvious, that going through what HBO has already suffered, the makers don't mind going an extra mile and shooting several versions of the ending, so the whole finale is saved. Honestly, now we are very curious about how many endings will be shot and what all could be part of the predicted ending. Share your ideas with us.

Delhi's New RTR Flyover May Get Noise Absorptive Barrier Costing INR 20 Cr
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Jugaad is the exact word when we find a temporary solution for not-so-temporary problem. And, if a necessary step is not taken in time, someone suffers. So, after years of 'juggad', the residents of the RTR flyover area finally have some good news coming. The existing 900-metre flyover ( which was built in 2009), was a single carriageway till it was decided (in 2014) to construct a parallel one to decongest the existing one. But, the construction kept getting delayed sometimes due to residents moving to court and other hindrances. So, to be precise this new flyover will be 2.7-km-long and the project is expected to be completed by June 2018. A noise barrier on highway looks something like this: © A1 Highways So here is the problemtic scenario, To construct this parallel flyover, the Public Works Department (PWD) sought Central Road Research Institute's (CRRI) help. They asked them to study the noise pattern in the nearby areas. According to the research, it was concluded that noise was loudest during the day at 78-82 dB and further by 10 dB during the night. And this would coninue happening if they kept using the current noise barrier, which costs around Rs 1.5 Cr. But, as per standards, the noise limit is 55db in residential areas during the day and 45db in the night. Vasant Vihar, West End and Anand Niketan, Munirka and other areas near Rao Tula Ram Flyover will be affected. The good news is the CRRI has suggested installing the micro-perforated noise barriers which will absorb noise, unlike the reflective ones which just reflects it and then install them in the nearby areas too. Here is what Nasim Akhtar, a scientist with CRRI, who has performed the study has to say on the subject. © crridom CSIR-Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) He said, “We have recommended noise barrier at the flyover as it passes through residential areas. Such noise barriers are used in Taiwan, China and we recently got them installed at BR Ambedkar flyover in Mumbai. This barrier will reduce the noise by 18db-20 dB. It has small holes and the noise from the traffic will go to a box and be absorbed there. The height of the barrier should be 3.5 meters.” As per their report, “Various traffic surveys in tandem with noise and vibration monitoring were conducted at four locations falling on the flyover corridor to understand the traffic scenario and the noise generated. Due to joints in flyover span, an approximately 10db noise will increase at flyover in the night time. Maximum noise level can even cross 100db.” “A good noise barrier should be lightweight yet strong and durable, and should also be water/fire resistant. It should also be easy to maintain and assemble and disintegrate,” the report further said. This what a PWD official had to say on after the study has been conducted. He said, “We have got the study conducted to understand the pattern. They have recommended the high-quality barriers and it is up to the government to decide.” FYI, Block, concrete, wood or metal, without any added treatment or design behave like the reflective wall. And here is a look at how Absorptive Noise Barrier Walls are a better solution than the Reflective Barrier Walls. Check out the video below: -
I get, that concerts, especially the ones with international caliber, are expensive. And all of the times the management companies need to at least break even with costs when they’re getting international artists down to India. Last year, when Coldplay came to India, the internet went up in a loud roar when the ticket prices were announced to be 25,000INR. That, some would still justify, and a lot of the audiences got the chance of experiencing the band for free; courtesy of the Global Citizen. I stand neutral here because, no comments. NME(dot)Com But, what somehow doesn’t register is when you put the price of a Justin Bieber concert in India as high as 76,000 rupees. Now, let it be known that the starting price of the concert tickets are 4,000 and some rupees (I don’t honestly care enough to mention the exact figure). A lot of us will sit and justify the prices; saying that we don’t really need to care about a 76k ticket when all we need is a 4k one. One huge problem with that, my friend, is that you don’t consider that a problem. My problem isn’t with the fact that Justin Beiber isn’t worth that ticket price (I’m not saying he is, either). My problem is with the fact that artist and event management companies think that putting that price to an Indian concert ticket is worth it. Let’s look around and see the amount of poverty and pollution that 76,000 rupees could actually help in many ways. Sorry, to put a social-activist spin to it. Let’s stick to music. They don’t mind shelling out crores of rupees bringing ragers of international talent to India but, they won’t do even quarter to promote original talent that’s springing up in the country. My problem is that the people in our country will ACTUALLY spend that 76k on that fucking ticket because everyone’s got to do that thing to prove they have the money to do that thing. My problem is that people won’t spend 500 to watch up and coming talents perform at quaint bars and cafes in the country but will pay hefty amounts to see an established young star from Uncle Sam’s familia come to India strut around just because the memo said he’s that famous kid about town. Billboard My problem isn’t even with Justin. He’s come a long way, honestly and yes, he may not make the most enthralling music; but, he deserves due credit for his own journey. My problem is with the fact that none of these buck-loads-of-cash-wielding crowds would give a rat’s ass about our own musicians, or even international lesser known musicians but will be right there in the front flashing their junk [sic] to kiss a famous kid’s ass. Getting my drift? And that’s not all. It’s also about the fact that these companies can get away with pricing these tickets at steep figures because they know that people WILL ACTUALLY pay that amount of money to do exactly what I described above. That’s just how screwed up the process is. The money is going to the money. That same 76 thousand can be used in 76 different and more beneficial ways—promote our own Indian musicians, invest in the careers of the youth, develop an industry that is more India-friendly than it is foreign-obsessed. You could fly abroad and watch Justin Beiber perform for a lesser price, seriously. But, we are pseudo people with a false and mistaken sense of value and nothing can change that. Yes, big names do matter when it comes to labels. But, this is more on the lines of cheating. They’re cheating homegrown talent and how. This isn’t hate. It’s just a rant on the unfairness of the system that governs our own country’s talent and you can call it biased, all you want. It doesn’t really change the situation. Justin Bieber is great and all; but sucking up to foreigners has always been our thing, anyway. And so, it negates any greatness.
