I wanted to be in London to hang out with my friends. I remember a few times after Madeline that I missed out on birthday parties, or sleepovers in London because I was away or being interviewed. I also stopped enjoying auditions, they never seemed as fun as the Madeline auditions,” back in 2018. View the full article -
It all started when Glenn Maxwell walked to the middle of the Chepauk stadium and smashed his first six in the Royal Challengers Bangalore uniform in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League. As soon as the ball flew over the boundary rope and almost over the end stands of the ground, the official Twitter handle of the RCB decided to get cheeky with Punjab Kings, the franchise Maxwell played for last season but had failed to live up to his heavy-hitter reputation. First Maxi-mum in Red and Gold and he nearly hits it out of Chennai!🤯 Thank you @PunjabKingsIPL. We would hug you if not for social distancing #PlayBold #WeAreChallengers #MIvRCB #DareToDream — Royal Challengers Bangalore (@RCBTweets) April 9, 2021 “First Maxi-mum in Red and Gold and he nearly hits it out of Chennai! Thank you @PunjabKingsIPL. We would hug you if not for social distancing,” RCB tweeted. Unafraid of confrontation and well-versed with the kind of exchanges that have taken place between the two franchises in the past couple of seasons, PBKS reverted almost immediately with a nasty jab of their own. Aww and thank you for Gayle, KL, Mandy, Sarfaraz, Mayank... #SaddaPunjab #IPL2021 #PunjabKings — Punjab Kings (@PunjabKingsIPL) April 9, 2021 “Aww and thank you for Gayle, KL, Mandy, Sarfaraz, Mayank…” replied the Punjab squad. Taking it a notch further, RCB decided to get personal and hinted at how similar Punjab’s new logo, helmet, and jerseys looked to the ones used by the Bengaluru team ever since the rebranding and renaming of the former franchise. You missed jersey, helmet, pads...and logo? But between us, who's keeping count?🤷♂#PlayBold #WeAreChallengers #MIvRCB #DareToDream — Royal Challengers Bangalore (@RCBTweets) April 9, 2021 But whoever runs the PKBS social media pages surely knows how to deliver solid comebacks and they did the same on Friday evening. Yes, thank you for inventing colours And congrats on the win 🏻#SaddaPunjab #PunjabKings #IPL2021 #MIvRCB — Punjab Kings (@PunjabKingsIPL) April 9, 2021While this Twitter banter does feel like a bunch of kids fighting over their favourite toys and trying to declare their dominance by making fun of each others’ brands and logos and colours (honestly, the only thing left now is for someone to crack a ‘Yo Mama’ joke), this is exactly what was missed by the fans of the Indian Premier League. Regardless, the fan-base of the two sides were unable to declare who the clear winner was and started a small fight over their own: Punjab To Bangalore pic.twitter.com/gBH37fR7Wa — JK CR7 (@jaikrishna01557) April 9, 2021Hence proved @PunjabKingsIPL are second team of @RCBTweets From jersey to players🤣🤣 They're trolling themselves 🤣 — Maddy (@Maddy65124472) April 9, 2021@PunjabKingsIPL admins and franchise are more intelligent than @RCBTweets admins and franchise — Abdullah Neaz Lite (@cric_neaz) April 9, 2021 pic.twitter.com/aSpeKECgIx — How Dare You Isolated Monk ? (@IsolatedMonk) April 9, 2021The childish yet entertaining competition between two sides just for a couple of months before the top Indian cricketers unite as the Men in Blue to take on the world. The Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Punjab Kings are scheduled to take their rivalry to the cricket ground on April 30, when Virat Kohli and KL Rahul’s squads like lock horns at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

5 Flattering Ways To Style A Cuban Collar Shirt Like A Dapper Dude
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
What Dian Von Furstenberg’s iconic wrap dress is to women, is a Cuban collar shirt to men. What we are establishing is it’s flattering to most body types, comes in the quirkiest of prints, and much like the DVF dress when Cuban collar shirts made a comeback, it found its loyal takers. Whether you wear this retro button-down to a tropical vacation with a pair of shorts, or under your earthy toned suit to a summer wedding memo, a Cuban collar shirt never disappoints. Here’s your guide to picking the right Cuban collar shirt for different settings and 5 sure-fire ways to style it. 1. With Shorts For A Nautical FeelEmbrace the sunny days and pair your Cuban collar shirt with shorts. Pick a piece with broad stripes to keep up with a nautical vibe. Continue the holiday dressing theme with sandals or flats to cool-off in style. __ECOMPRODUCT__1383__ 2. With Relaxed Suits For Summer Weddings Give a fresh spin to your traditional wedding suits by adding a layer of cuban collar shirt. Pick a suit in earthy or beige tone and style it with a pastel Cuban collar shirt underneath. Throw on a pair of mules and keep the suit jacket unbuttoned to vibe with a relaxed summer setting. __ECOMPRODUCT__1384__ 3. With Jeans For A Casual Summer LookA white T-shirt, a pair of regular fit denims and a cool pair of sneakers is what makes for a perfect everyday summer look. Swap your white T-shirt with this white Cuban collar shirt with postman pockets to elevate your summer style. __ECOMPRODUCT__1385__ 4. With T-shirt For A More Dressy Look Take a cue from the vintage lookbook by styling the Cuban collar shirt with a T-shirt, a style once popular in the ’50s. Something light and earthy looks best with bright colors. Add a pop of colour to your summer wardrobe with this red Cuban collar shirt with palm print. To make the look more dressy, style it with a white T-shirt inside and finish the look with white chinos and espadrilles. __ECOMPRODUCT__1386__ 5. With Trousers For A Smart-Casual Dress Code When we say smart-casual, we think more well-fitted, sharp pieces that are less casual but borderline formal — exactly like what Saif is wearing. Pick a well-fitted Cuban collar shirt in dark blue, team it with a pair of charcoal gray trousers, and add a pair of black oxford shoes to whip out a perfect smart-casual look. Don’t forget to tuck the shirt into your pants. __ECOMPRODUCT__1387__ The BottomlineWith a statement collar, short sleeves and a flattering fit, Cuban collar shirts are a great way to amp up your summer look. Build your look around the ones in bold prints or stick to a solid color, depending on your mood. Experiment with accessories like a pendant or chain since a Cuban collar is designed to have a plunging neckline. Finish up with a slick pair of chinos or shorts and sunglasses to rock a quintessential Cuban collar look. Explore More View the full article -
Lenovo announced a new gaming smartphone called the Phone Duel 2 that comes with two USB-C ports, built-in fans and a pop-up camera module. The smartphone places most of its crucial hardware in the middle of the phone so that it is easier for the fans to keep the smartphone cool. However, it also happens to be the most vulnerable part of the smartphone since it is thicker from the middle. © Youtube/JerryRigEverything YouTuber JerryRigEverything got a hold of the smartphone and put it through some rigorous durability tests. The YouTuber regularly tests smartphones on his channel and most devices usually pass with acceptable results. However, the Lenovo Phone Duel 2 didn’t fare well as it easily snapped at the antenna line which meets at the middle section. The phone basically fell apart like a sandwich which puts the durability of the smartphone into question. The smartphone broke with little force. In fact, even the other side of the phone broke and this shows how the smartphone lacks structural integrity. This might be problematic for rage quitters who can accidentally break the smartphone by applying very little force. The ASUS ROG Phone 5 also fell apart during a similar test, however it required a lot more force. The Lenovo Phone Duel 2 might have snapped easily due to its dual-battery design but there could be other reasons as well. The antenna lines on the sides and the centre of the phone could be weak spots as well which may have caused the smartphone to snap in two. It is worth pointing out that the front glass display was intact after the test, however the smartphone was rendered useless as it no longer turned on. © Youtube/JerryRigEverything The Lenovo Phone Duel 2 might be a great gaming smartphone but this test shows that the company may have not used premium sturdy materials for the body of the smartphone. From the way it looks, there’s a good chance that the smartphone might snap into two with little force. If you want to see the whole test video, you can have a look below: View the full article

ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
When Bollywood celebrities ditch their formal exaggerated 'fits and choose laidback trends instead for their everyday outfits, that's when see how creative they get with their style without any external influence. We've seen that since the coronavirus pandemic has hit us, more celebrities have introduced breezy silhouettes in their everyday outfits. From comfy sneakers, to ripped jeans and graphic T-shirts, Indian celebrities' style has drastically changed in the last year. Saif Ali Khan is one such celebrity who has truly embraced the spirit of staying at home and is often seen in rad outfits whenever he steps out of the house. In fact, Saif Ali Khan's personal style is rather unhinged and doesn't usually get influenced by ongoing trends, fads, and weird aesthetics. In the pre-pandemic world, most actors were rarely seen repeating the same outfit, Saif Ali Khan does not abide to these unspoken conventions and instead makes his own rules when it comes to his style aesthetic. Case in point, all the times Saif was spotted in quirky pairs of shorts with espadrilles or laidback PJs. A recent outfit too, was in line with this aesthetic, take a look at what he wore here: © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani Saif was seen wearing a baggy graphic T-shirt in dull grey with a pair of blue jeans. He completed the look with a white pair of shoes. However, a striking detail worth noting about the shoes was the fact that it had glow-in-the-dark mesh added to the outer sole. Take a close look here: © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani Although Bollywood has once again halted all productions amid another surge of the COVID-19 virus, on the work front, Saif Ali Khan will be seen in films like Bhoot Police with Arjun Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Om Raut's Adipurush, Bunty Aur Babli 2 with Rani Mukherjee, and finally, Go Goa Gone 2 with Kunal Khemu and Vir Das.

The duo of powerful couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have provided the fans with numerous fun and adorable moments over the past three and a half years since the news of their marriage first broke out. And even though the two have managed to live a relatively private life together when compared to some of the other power-couples of the country, every once in a while they share some perky instances of their lives with their social media family. View this post on InstagramOn Wednesday, Sharma shared yet another such playful video in which she was seen with the Team India skipper in the middle of a photo shoot. As the camera crew looked to take a small break between shots, the actor decided to display her strength on camera. Hugging Kohli from behind, she wrapped her arms around him tightly and lifted him in one go without breaking a sweat. View this post on Instagram“Oh, teri!!” exclaimed Kohli in absolute amazement while hanging a couple of inches above the ground, in the tight grip of his wife. Sharma, herself could not believe how strong she was and felt that Kohli was boosting himself in the air by giving himself a little bit of a push off the ground as she picked him up but the cricketer told him frankly that he was doing no such thing. Trying to give the lift another shot, Sharma wrapped her arms around Kohli once again and picked him up like a baby with absolute ease before gently placing him on the ground and flexing her biceps for the frame as the Indian captain walked away completely startled. Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli became parents early this year when they gave birth to their first child, Vamika in January. And even though the couple wish to keep their daughter away from the “public eye” they shared a glimpse of her in yer another Instagram post. View this post on Instagram“We have lived together with love , presence and gratitude as a way of life but this little one , Vamika has taken it to a whole new level ! Tears , laughter , worry , bliss - emotions that have been experienced in a span of minutes sometimes ! Sleep is elusive but our hearts are SO full Thanking you all for your wishes , prayers and good energy,” Sharma wrote in the caption while introducing their child to the world. View the full article

Shahid Kapoor knows his fashion game well and his choices are such that he can literally pull off any outfit. That's also not just limited to his clothes, but he is known for his sneaker collection too. From his super versatile high-top sneakers to him wearing two different shoes at the same time, Shahid has taken several style risks and yet managed to turn heads. Speaking of which, it's quite evident from his recent appearance too. © Viral Bhayani Shahid was recently seen at Mumbai airport, in an easy-going all-white outfit. Nothing spells casual more than the sort of street-athleisure ensemble that Shahid has worn here. His sneakers on the other hand are edgy and these are the kind of shoes we haven't seen any celebrity wear in the past. Take a look. © Rick Owens © Rick Owens Shahid is wearing Rick Owens Maximal Runner Leather Shoes. These sneakers have a web of grey laces that is synonymous with the Rick Owens brand. The shoe is wrapped with multiple laces which gives it an avant-garde aesthetic. Furthermore, the pair has oversized tongue and heels. © Rick Owens As for the price, these sneakers are quite an expensive piece. They cost 840 Euros, which converts to Rs 73,251. Plus the usual customs and import duties levied on these shoes. © Givenchy We also like Shahid's backpack. He is seen carrying Givenchy's Antigona backpack that's rendered in a contemporary shape. There's a pentagonal flap and one can use it with the top handle or the padded shoulder strap. © Givenchy The price of the backpack as well is way too much. It's almost worth Rs 2,30,683. But given that most celebrities are often seen carrying such extravagant pieces, we aren't as surprised. © Viral Bhayani As for his outfit, Shahid layered a zippered white jacket over a black T-shirt and further paired it with zippered white shorts. The silver accent of the zipper made the ensemble look edgier. We also like the way Shahid has covered himself with a face shield as it looks quite like an accessory if you ask us. Overall, these are some dope pair of kicks that we've seen. Seriously, hats off Shahid. View the full article

We often come across real-life stories that only exist in movies and are unbelievable. Sometimes, they are extremely annoying and we can only pray that it turns out to be fake. And this time, in another bizarre incident, a woman attending her son’s wedding was left crying after she found out that the bride was her long-lost daughter. Yes, you read that right! The incident took place in Suzhou, Jiangsu province in China on March 31. The mother-in-law of the bride noticed a birthmark on her new daughter-in-law’s hand which was very similar to the one on her lost daughter’s hand. After noticing the birthmark, the woman approached the bride’s parents and asked if the girl was adopted. She enquired from the girl’s family if the girl was adopted over 20 years ago. © Unsplash The bride’s family was shocked to hear the questions as this had been a secret in their family and nobody knew about it. However, they revealed that they had found the baby girl on the roadside several years ago and then decided to bring her up as their own child. After hearing the story, the bride burst into tears and wanted to know more about her biological parents. She also described the moment of meeting her biological mother as ‘happier than the wedding day itself'. However, this is not it! There is a lot more to come. © Unsplash Later, the bride was concerned about marrying her elder brother but the mother-in-law revealed that there would be no objection as their son is also adopted. According to Oriental Daily, the woman had adopted a boy after losing all hopes of finding her missing daughter. She tried to find her missing daughter for years but all went in vain. So, there was no problem for them to get married as they weren’t biological siblings. © Unsplash The bride was happy to know this and the couple completed their wedding rituals and got married.

Every year Apple announces a new iPhone and this year’s model is expected to have a smaller notch according to numerous rumours. It will be the first time Apple will be using a different notch design since the iPhone X that launched in 2017. Now a new video has been released that claims to show off the smaller notch, thanks to a dummy that was created based on rumours from the supply chain. © Macotakara The video was shared by Macotakara, where images of a dummy unit showcased the rumoured iPhone 13 Pro. From the image, we can see that the smartphone has a smaller notch with the FaceID hardware moving around to enable the design change. Macotakara shared further details which paints a better picture based on a simple Google translate: "Regarding the size of the active area of the centre housing, the height becomes from 5.30mm to 5.35mm, and the width becomes from 34.83mm to 26.80mm, which is smaller. The infrared camera and light shooting illuminator placed on the left-hand side of the speaker/mic are moved to the area of the speaker/mike of iPhone 12. The position of the speaker/mic of iPhone 13 gets closer to the body, The front camera used to be the right-hand side of the speaker/mic, but it is moved to the left.” © LetsGoDigital From what we’ve gathered from the video, the iPhone dummy doesn’t look too different from the iPhone 12 models apart from the smaller notch. There is a possibility that Apple might use TouchID underneath the display or might embed it in the power button itself. The iPhone 13 is not expected to look radically different from the current models, however it will have some huge gains in the hardware department. Source: Macotakara View the full article

Bollywood celebrities are always under the public radar. These stars can’t walk on roads without their security as they are always at the risk of getting mobbed in public and this is where bodyguards come into the picture. Bodyguards are like shadows of Bollywood celebs and you will spot them wherever you find these stars. Be it a film set, a night out, or even a lunch outing, you will always find celebs with their trusted bodyguards. Their job is certainly a risky one as they make sure that the celebrity is well-protected and is not in any sort of trouble while also ensuring that they are accessible to the public. We were wondering if they are paid handsomely as their job requires sacrifices from each sphere of their lives. When we found out the salaries of these five famous Bollywood bodyguards, we felt that we are paid nothing but peanuts. Well, let’s keep jokes aside but they do deserve to be paid in accordance to the risk they put their lives into as it’s not easy to guard a public personality in a country like ours because people are crazy about Bollywood stars. 1. Salman Khan’s Bodyguard Shera View this post on Instagram He needs no introduction as he has been working with Salman Khan for more than two decades now. In an earlier interview, Shera spoke about how he became Salman’s personal bodyguard. He said, “It has been 25 years that I have been working with Salman Bhai. Actually, Bhai used to go for shows and this one time, there was a show in Chandigarh where the audience had got on to the stage. When they returned, Sohail Khan called me to his office. He asked me, “Shera, why don’t you become Bhai’s bodyguard?” That’s how I started working for Bhai.” According to a report in Catch News, Shera gets paid around Rs 2 crore annually. 2. Shah Rukh Khan's Bodyguard Ravi Singh © Times Now Yuvraj Ghorpade wanted to pursue bodybuilding but things didn’t work out the way he had planned. He had to leave school at the age of 16 but things changed for the better when he joined Ace Security. In an earlier interview with Express Tribune, he had said, “The future was dark for me as I was doing odd jobs for survival until I decided to join Ace Security nine years ago. Today, I am the bodyguard for (the actor-producer-director) Aamir Khan and many of my friends are envious of the fact that I roam with such a big celebrity all the time.” According to a report in Times Now, he takes home around Rs 2 crore annually to keep the actor safe. 5.

Netflix’s latest offering, Pagglait, starring Sanya Malhotra in the lead role is winning major accolades everywhere. The movie tells a very simple tale of a young widow, who tries to come to terms with the reality of her husband’s death and decides to take her life in her own hands. The background characters do a wonderful job of serving as catalysts for change and represent the typical ‘rishtedaar’ in a big Indian family. If you enjoyed the movie and want to watch something else with a similar vibe, then check these out: 1. QueenThis one has a strong resemblance with the tone of how the storyline of Pagglait steers forward. A woman breaking stereotypes, fighting taboos of the family that surrounds her and leaving for her own honeymoon after the husband-to-be is a no show at a wedding. Queen opened doors for small budget movies to tell strong tales with brilliantly written characters. 2. Badhai HoAnother movie which tackles a very unique subject of how the family and the society perceive a pregnant couple who already has a grown up son. The son himself finds it difficult to come to terms with his parents expecting a baby and his relationship with his partner is exposed to a lot of emotions. 3. Door Ke DarshanThis was one of the best watched and underrated movies that was released in 2020. The story revolves around a mad, loud, quintessential Punjabi family. The story follows the matriarch of the family who wakes up from a coma after 30 years and the family tries to bring her to terms with the ‘new’ reality. 4. Chupke ChupkeOne of the best classics of the golden times, if you are a 90’s kid like me, chances are that you have watched this movie numerous times with your parents while growing up. The protagonist, Dr. Parimal Tripathi (Dharmendra), takes upon a challenge of fooling his wife’s ‘jija ji’ and shows up as a driver in his house. This is a dysfunctional comedy because no one in their right mind will make their husband a driver in the family and then try to ‘fake’ an affair with him. Nevertheless, great comic timing by everyone. 5. Do Dooni ChaarThis one stars Neetu Singh and Rishi Kapoor in the lead as middle-class parents who are trying very hard to fulfil the wishes of their children and enjoy the little joys of life. Things get crazy when the family is overwhelmed with materialism and vow to buy a brand new car. If you are from Delhi, then the scenes with a complaining ‘bua ji’, judgemental neighbours and random aunties drying clothes in balconies will bring back childhood memories. View the full article

What comes to your mind when you think of boxing? Probably the adrenaline rush, speed and strength or brain injuries, pain and apprehension. Your mind can cook up all kinds of thoughts, including the scary ones after seeing professionals like Vijender Singh, Mary Kom, Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali do what they do the best—boxing. But if you’re inspired to take up boxing for fitness , you can put your worries about injuries to rest because throwing punches can do more good for your physical and mental health than bad. Of course, you can always train smart. Make the process as safe as any other workout. And if you’re patient, you’ll reap some amazing boxing benefits while learning how to throw punches like a pro. Here are the 5 benefits of boxing that one should know: 1. It Builds Endurance & Improves Cardiovascular HealthYour heart works hard to keep your arms punching, to help your feet maintain balance and your core alert to slay those speed-sensitive combinations. With time, this trains your heart to pump more efficiently without running a mile or two. Boxing training can raise your heart rate by 75% to 85% which is good news for your cardiovascular health. To keep your heart health in check, other than boxing, you can take some assistance from ayurvedic medicines. __ECOMPRODUCT__1316__ 2. It Strengthens & Empowers YouBoxing is a full-body workout and it doesn’t just help your body build full-body strength but also, makes you feel strong, confident and badass. Regardless of your body shape and type, those jabs, crosses, uppercuts and hooks boost upper-body muscles, core and lower-body strength. But, no matter how badass you are, you still need strength to keep going. Make sure you get your daily dose of omega-3 __ECOMPRODUCT__1317__ 3. It Improves Full-Body CoordinationNothing teaches full-body coordination like a combination of footwork, alertness and punches. Synchronising all those body parts—from your eyes to the feet—trains your subconscious mind to coordinate in the toughest of situations. The speed and constant movement might take a toll on your joints so make sure they’re getting all the nutrition they need. __ECOMPRODUCT__1318__ 4. It Relieves Stress, Improves Memory & Sleep QualitySpending some quality time with a punching bag does a lot for your anger and anxiety. Researches have shown that full-body cardio workouts like boxing release feel-good chemicals into your body, resulting in happier moods, reduced stress and better sleep quality . Let’s be honest, boxing is nothing like repeating 3 sets of lunges. It’s more fun. It demands your full attention, capability to memorise combos and make split-second decisions. __ECOMPRODUCT__1209__ 5. It Gives You A Fair Chance To Defend Yourself…Or at least feel confident enough to do so. Martial arts is exciting but it’s also a basic need of the decade. The ability to block, dodge and come-back with a solid punch in a split-second can save your life. Don’t you agree? __ECOMPRODUCT__1319__ The BottomlineBesides helping you lose weight, boxing also sculpts your midsection. It makes your body more flexible and training in a healthy environment gives you a chance to interact with like-minded boxers. Want to give it a try? Explore More View the full article

Shahid Kapoor really knows his stuff when it comes to sneakers. Most other stars are happy and content with their Yeezys and Air Jordans and all other mainstream sneaker brands, Shahid, is a bit different © Instagram/shahidkapoor Shahid’s an actor who goes from some of the more unusual stuff that only the most ardent of sneakerheads can really appreciate. Long time followers of Shahid will realise, that more often than not, he tends to go for pairs from high-end luxury brands, over notable streetwear makers. © Instagram/shahidkapoor Recently, he was seen at the Mumbai Airport wearing a rather dope-looking pair of sneakers, that legit look like they were inspired by those classic black and yellow cabs of Mumbai. © Viral Bhayani Before we get into the sneakers, let’s take a look at his outfit. Shahid is seen here wearing a rather funky looking T-shirt, and a pair of technical cargo pants which has some really chunky and oversized pockets. Along with that, he’s wearing a sweet looking pair of rounded aviator sunglasses. © Viral Bhayani One aspect of his outfit that stands out is his mask, and that face-shield he’s wearing. Although they have become a common sight in this day and age, the bubble-shaped face-shield does stand out as unusual. © Viral Bhayani The overall outfit is quite hip and casual and is something that goes perfectly well with Shahid’s image as a style icon. © Viral Bhayani Coming to the most unusual aspect of Shahid’s outfit, the sneakers that Shahid is wearing is perhaps one of the chunkiest pairs we have seen anyone wear. They’re so chunky, that it looks like the chunky cargo pants and the sneakers are a part of some militaristic outfit’s uniform. © Viral Bhayani The black and yellow chunky-soled sneakers are called the DRKSHDW Abstract Low Sneakers from Rick Owens, in Yellow & Black, and boy, do they grab one’s attention. Just one tiny detail here - although they’re named Low Sneakers, they are actually high-tops. © Rick Owens The sneakers are primary made using canvas, rubber and grained leather, and have a very quirky silhouette. They also have a side zipper like one gets in a pair of boots. The yellow heels and the yellow laces give the sneakers a distinct character of their own. © Rick Owens The DRKSHDW normally retails for about $880, or roughly around Rs 64,000. Mind you, this is before taxes and customs. Adding those figures would put the final price around the ballpark of Rs 95,000-99,000. © Viral Bhayani All in all, that’s a pretty dapper-looking outfit that Shahid’s got there. As for the sneakers, we really like seeing Shahid’s varied choices. Kudos Shahid, seriously. View the full article

Want To Run Like An Athlete? Master These 3 Ways To Increase Your Lung Capacity
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Breathing is simple, right? Breathe in, breathe out and you’re done...or are you? Many of us are going about our lives breathing in a default mode, dreaming of running like an athlete without giving our lungs enough amount of oxygen. While inhaling and exhaling is a given, did you know that exploring the full potential of your breath can transform your lungs? Fantastically, all it takes is a few lifestyle changes and plenty of oxygen for you to run like a pro: 1. Breathing Exercises For Lungs -Diaphragmatic Breathing By engaging the diaphragm muscle, it is possible to breathe more efficiently. It is best to use this technique when you’re feeling relaxed. · Lie down on your back. · Place one of your hands on the chest and the other right below your rib cage. · Slowly, breathe in through your nose. · Feel your stomach expand while your chest remains still. · Tighten the muscles in your stomach and breathe out through pursed lips. · Repeat. __ECOMPRODUCT__1293__ -Belly Breathing Do deep or belly breathing 10 times before a run to warm up your lungs. · Lie down on the floor or the bed. · Place your hands on the stomach. · Take deep breaths into your stomach. You will feel it as it expands. · Repeat. __ECOMPRODUCT__1294__ - Pursed-Lips Breathing This technique reduces the work of breathing and makes it easier for the lungs to function. · Sit with your back straight. You can place a meditation cushion below your hips for support. · Now, inhale through your nose. · Purse your lips, as if you’re about to blow on something. · Exhale through pursed lips as slowly as possible. · Repeat. __ECOMPRODUCT__738__ - Rhythmic breathing while running This one will take some practice but the goal is to avoid inhaling and exhaling on the same foot strike. To prevent your feet from heavy landings and common injuries, make sure your running shoes have soft cushioning. · Breathe into your belly, not your chest. · Sink your breath with your foot strikes. __ECOMPRODUCT__1295__ 2. Yoga Asanas For LungsIf you have severe breathing issues such as asthma, slow down your speed while practising pranayama. · Bhastrika pranayama: 5 mins · Kapalbhati: 5-15 mins · Anulom Vilom: 5 mins __ECOMPRODUCT__1296__ 3. Lifestyle Changes To Boost Lung Capacity· Practice holding your breath for as long as possible. · Workout for at least 30 mins every day. · Stay hydrated and consume foods rich in antioxidants. · Get pneumonia and flu vaccines to prevent lung infection. · Breathe clean air, at least when you’re indoors · Avoid inhaling secondhand smoke coming from factories and vehicles and of course, quit smoking. You can use this herbal blend to help you quit. __ECOMPRODUCT__1297__ How Healthy Lungs Improve Your Running Capacity © iStock Ever counted how many stairs can you climb in one go or how many miles can you run without experiencing shortness of breath? We know you have! Your lung capacity determines how long you can perform cardiovascular activities like running. The shallower your breath is, the sooner you feel tired. Shallow breaths cannot satisfy the oxygen needs of your muscle tissue, which is why you stop over and over again while running to catch your breath. The Bottomline The benefits for increased lung capacity doesn’t just include running like a panther but also increased strength, better mental health and stronger immunity. To stay healthy, our body requires a lot more oxygen than we provide it through our regular shallow breathes. So, make sure you get your daily dose of deep breathes.

Gwen Stefani describes what it is like to age in Hollywood

'Love must look good on me,' said Gwen Stefani as she spoke about beauty and ageing -
Karan Johar has cemented his position as an iconic director in Bollywood but his tryst with fashion is also something worth noticing. From the time he used to step out wearing his usual black suits to then transitioning into a self-proclaimed maximalist, Karan has quite a good judgement with the sort of clothes he wears. © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani By now we all know KJo loves all things outlandish. Apart from his ensembles, he is into snazzy bags and quirky sneakers too. He has often rocked some daring trends and taken more fashion risks than one can even imagine. © Viral Bhayani This time too as he was spotted for an event, we saw him in yet another sick pair of sneakers. These sneakers look as if they were designed using broken materials and yet the silhouette has dope aesthetics. Take a look: The Brands: © Viral Bhayani Karan was seen wearing an insanely cool outfit with street-wear aesthetics. Everything about his ensemble, from his oversized hoodie to his joggers screamed fashion. The pink hoodie with a fabric tied over it, along with quirky tiger print seems like a quintessential piece and damn, it looks good on him. © Gucci The joggers though are Gucci's Oversize Technical Jogging Pants. This activewear silhouette comes with contrast logo tape detail with GG printed nylon that runs down the sides of the oversized pants. Furthermore, these pants are crafted in black technical jersey. © Balenciaga As for the sneakers, these will never go unnoticed. Karan is wearing Balenciaga Track 2 Sneakers in Silver Metallic. These are designed in metallic mesh and nylon with written size at the edge of the toe. These sneakers have a unique design, due to their cage-like silhouette and are still a comfortable pair of shoes. The Price:The joggers look super comfy but the price will make you think otherwise. These pants cost almost Rs 83,495. Now, that's expensive for a pair of pants. The track 2 sneakers are a pair that most celebrities have stepped out in but the metallic colour, in particular, is the one that stands out and only our maximalist, Karan has been able to ace it. The price of this pair is roughly around $975 that converts to Rs 71,000, plus custom and taxes on it. Why It Works: © Viral Bhayani Given Karan's taste in fashion, we think this outfit is a perfect match. The way he has coupled a flamboyant hoodie over his expensive pair of joggers is rather dope. Plus, the sneakers are synonymous with Karan's outlandish fashion sense and every element of this look is in perfect harmony. View the full article
