ICC World Cup 2019: Cricket Love Crosses Boundaries As Fan Engraves Dhoni's Name On Pak Jersey
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
The ICC World Cup 2019 begins in less than a week and fans from all over the world have begun to touch base on the English soil to watch some of their favourite cricketers take on each other in the quest for the greatest honour in the world of the sport, the World Cup trophy, which currently rests with Aaron Finch's Team Australia. In what has come to become more of a ritual than a rivalry between the neighbouring cricketing giants in India and Pakistan, the sledging between the fans from either countries has already begun. Chants of “Mauka Mauka” for example are on the rise yet again. Eagerly awaiting #MaukaMauka series during the #ICCWorldCup2019 @StarSportsIndia @cricketworldcup — Aditya Dharmadhikari (@AddyDharma) May 23, 2019 Having said that, there also exists a feeling of mutual respect and love amongst the people from both the countries for the players who albeit wear different jerseys, are considered the best in the business due to their superhuman efforts in the field through the years. One such fan from Pakistan, namely Shehzad Ul-Hassan, decided to show his affection for the former Indian skipper and veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni by engraving the athlete's name on a green Pakistani jersey. Thankyou @TPLUS for making my day... ðð@msdhoni pic.twitter.com/nsscagDLWw — Shehzad-Ul-Hassan (@shehzad441) May 23, 2019 Such gestures only suggest that regardless of whatever turmoils the two nations share on the political front, there is good in the common people like you and I, who rise above hate to appreciate greatness in the game that we love, regardless of the colours that the athletes wear on their uniform. As soon as Ul-Hassan uploaded this image online, MS Dhoni fans from both the countries took to Twitter to show their appreciation towards his stance: COUNTRY CHANGES BUT THE LOVE OF THALA DOESN'T CHANGE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THALA — MOHAMMED IBRAHIM (@MOHAMME92244625) May 24, 2019 Cricket Has been beyond boundaries !!! MSD & Virat have a Huge Fans base in Pakistan !!! Great Sportsmans to grace the game of cricket !!!

That's the reason why we from CSK shower him so much of love to this cricketing living legend.

India and Pakistan are scheduled to lock horns on 16th June 2019. -
Guy Loves AR Rahman So Much He Buys A BMW With His Idol's Name On It
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Academy Award winner, AR Rahman is one of the finest musicians the world has ever seen, who has made the country proud at various occasions. After all, there's a reason why people by default add music maestro before his name. With his soulful music, AR Rahman has managed to touch, change and inspire many lives. Recently, one of them decided to express his gratitude to Rahman in his own unimaginable, yet heartwarming style. (c) Reuters Chanderr, who calls himself Rahman's 'biggest fan ever' recently bought his dream car, a BMW and dedicated it to his idol by inscribing his name on the number plate. The car's number plate now reads, 'I love ARR'. While sharing the images on Twitter, he wrote that he wanted the car to have his idol's name on it and further thanked Rahman for changing his life with music. @arrahman I might be your biggest fan ever. Today I bought my dream car and I knew I'd cherish it for a long time. I wanted the car to have my idol's name on it. Thank you for changing my life with your music. #ARRahman pic.twitter.com/zBC4GW0c3O — à«Chander (@chanderr) May 17, 2019 Amongst the hundreds of wishes and likes he got on his post, one was from the music maestro himself, who congratulated Chanderr for his car. He wrote, 'Mubaarak God bless' on his Instagram post and later advised him to 'Drive Safely' on Twitter. The magic moment when the man himself comments on my post :) @arrahman @arrahmanfans pic.twitter.com/tZr41IYu2v — à«Chander (@chanderr) May 17, 2019 Although we aren't sure if he can drive the car on roads with this number plate, his gesture sure is commendable. Drive safely ð https://t.co/NPkYBETTLb — A.R.Rahman (@arrahman) May 18, 2019 If there is anything more special than Rahman's music, it is his fans who at times go to extreme lengths to prove their love for him. According to reports, Rahman is currently busy promoting 'Le Musk', his directorial project, at the Cannes Film Festival. He is also busy with his project '99 Songs', a movie that Rahman is producing and stars debutant Ehan Bhat in lead role. -
The Next OnePlus Phone Will Hit Samsung Hard & A New Name For The Phone Has Been Leaked
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
OnePlus 7 is right around the corner and new details keep popping up on the internet before its eventual launch sometime next month. In order to compete, OnePlus has already added some unique features according to previous leaks but an unexpected feature just got discovered. A new leak of a prototype shows that the OnePlus 7 will use the Pro moniker and will also be borrowing features we've seen on previous Samsung smartphones. © Weibo The leak also confirmed a few features on the upcoming OnePlus 7 Pro as it will be using a curved edge screen, seen before on Samsung flagship smartphones. The smartphone is said to have a notch-less display which could only mean that it will have a pop-up selfie camera. The OnePlus 7 Pro is said to have a 6.67-inch Super Optic Display; a made-up marketing term for the curved edge display. The smartphone is said to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor and will also have an X50 modem for 5G connectivity. © Twitter The OnePlus 7 Pro is also expected to have 8GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage if this leak turns out to be true. Previous reports have suggested that the smartphone will have a triple camera setup at the back and a sliding or pop-up selfie camera. It is also possible that the selfie camera may be embedded into the bezels. © Twitter A regular OnePlus 7 without the X50 model will also be offered with different configurations for customers who just want a traditional OnePlus device. We could expect the 5G version of the smartphone to be priced considerably more than the regular OnePlus 7 smartphones. We will know more about the OP7 closer to the launch. Source: TechRadar -
Monday Motivation: Stop Following These 3 Mindless Fads In The Name Of Fitness
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
We humans always do things to move forward. Our technology gets better every passing year. Our daily essentials are better than what they were a few years ago, even our cars and bikes have gotten better, proving that we aim for betterment. In fitness, sadly, we tend to take two steps forward and three steps back. New data and hundreds of scientific studies emerge everyday disproving the old beliefs held by the bodybuilders of the past and present. Still, people do not want to use their brains and simply buy into the hype. © MensXP Spoiler alert: It is not those magic supplements or magic workouts making the bodybuilders huge and jacked. Here are some fitness trends that should have stopped in 2018 (at least, stop them in 2019): 1. Muscle Confusion Workouts Your muscles are smart. If you do the same workout, they won't respond. Switch your exercises every four weeks. Your muscles won't understand how to respond. They will grow then. This theory is as good as saying, study Chemistry for a Math test. Your brain will be confused and you top the class. Plain stupid. Muscles grow primarily through mechanical overload. To grow muscle, you have to become strong. © MensXP If you switch your exercises every 3-4 weeks, you are picking a new movement. You need time to adapt to the movement. After some time you will gain strength. When that time comes, you will do the same stupidity and switch exercises. 2. Stop Buying BCAAs & Fat Burners We all want results quickly. Just a couple of years before 2010, when Internet education was not much, this prominent scam was running rampantly. Someone from Nigeria was dying and of all the people they knew, wanted to give you the money they had in savings. Some even millions of dollars. The catch was that you needed to send them some $10,000 so they could pay the taxes and transfer fees. Funnily enough, many people willingly jumped into the scam. Why? Simply because they were promised to become rich very quickly. The same thing goes with these so-called magical supplements. They promise you overnight results. Burn fat overnight. Get jacked overnight. People shout back, 'Take my money.' Time and again, data has shown that these supplements do nothing at best. There is data suggesting BCAAs could actually lead to muscle loss. Still, people would want to buy it. © MensXP If you really want to invest in supplements, read this piece. 3. Cut Out Carbs From Your Diet Carbs raise insulin. Insulin makes you fat. Carbs are evil. Carbs are everything that's wrong with humanity. Carbs cause cancer, etc. All this stupidity is spewed by certain 'experts' who believe they know everything about nutrition based on articles published by a journalist who has a company thriving on lying to people. Suddenly, these people become gurus and have a herd of sheep worshipping them. What really matters for weight loss? A sustained calorie deficit. The laws of thermodynamics dictate changes in body stores and weight. Eat carbs or do keto, does not make any difference. Pick a diet that helps you adhere to a calorie deficit. There is no one-size-fits-all. So, if you think you need to stop eating carbs to lose weight and you actually enjoy eating carbs, do not go down the ketogenic rabbit hole. I hope this article speaks to you and calls you out on the bullshit you have been listening. Spreading bullshit is just one part of the problem. Accepting and following the bullshit blindly is a bigger problem.

People Go Crazy As PM Modi & Many BJP Leaders Add 'Chowkidar' Before Their Name On Twitter
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
A day after launching the 'Main Bhi Chowkidar' campaign on Twitter, Prime Minister Narendra Modi changed his personal Twitter handle name to 'Chowkidar Narendra Modi', following which a number of senior party members also went ahead and prefixed 'Chowkidar' before their names. (c)Twitter PM Modi, since his reign in 2014, has been calling himself a 'Chowkidar' from time to time reiterating the fact that he has a prominent role in protecting the nation's interest. But unfortunately Congress has turned his campaign into a jibe, with its 'Chowkidar Chor Hai' campaign, accusing the PM of corruption in the Rafale jet fighter deal. (c)Twitter The campaign came to the forefront on the 16th of March 2019, following which Modi changed the name of his Twitter handle. So far, Amit Shah, Piyush Goyal, JP Nadda, Harsh Vardhan, Smriti Irani and Dharmendra Pradhan have also prefixed 'Chowkidar' before their names on their Twitter accounts. As Chowkidars of our nation, we are committed to creating a clean economy by using cashless financial transactions. The menace of corruption and black money has adversely affected us for decades. Time to eliminate these for a better future. #MainBhiChowkidar #ChowkidarPhirSe pic.twitter.com/y44vwyM4xs — Chowkidar Piyush Goyal (@PiyushGoyal) 17 March 2019 à¤à¤¿à¤¸à¤¨à¥ बनाया सà¥à¤µà¤à¥à¤à¤¤à¤¾ à¤à¥ सà¤à¤¸à¥à¤à¤¾à¤°...वॠहॠà¤à¥à¤à¥à¤¦à¤¾à¤°à¥¤ #MainBhiChowkidar à¤à¤¹à¥ दिल सॠ#ChowkidarPhirSe pic.twitter.com/jLqn6atvXR — Chowkidar Amit Shah (@AmitShah) 17 March 2019 (c)Twitter PM Modi announced that everyone who was fighting corruption, dirt and social evils, while working hard towards the progress of India are all Chowkidars. "Your Chowkidar is standing firm & serving the nation. But, I am not alone...today, every Indian is saying-#MainBhiChowkidar," the PM said. The phrase caught on quick the day after he announced the campaign and #ChowkidarPhirSe has been trending on Twitter since. #ChowkidarPhirSe- -He is 100% honest -He has given houses, gas, electricity to poor. - He has made India cleaner. -He has made India fastest growing economy . -He has made India safer -He has reduced inflation. -He has built more roads. -He is India's pride.@narendramodi — Pradeep Bhandari (@pradip103) 17 March 2019 This the Difference between BJP & CONgress!

Tim Cook Changes His Twitter Name To 'Tim Apple' After Trump's Blunder
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Apple CEO Tim Cook was trending on social media yesterday after the US president Donald Trump referred to him incorrectly as "Tim Apple" during an American Policy Advisory Board meeting. Although Tim kept himself away from the whole fiasco, for the most part, he did end up changing his Twitter display name to include an Apple logo. His name on Twitter now reads 'Tim Apple' instead of 'Tim Cook'. Looks like the Apple CEO is embracing his new nickname. Well technically, Tim has just added an Apple computer emoji at the end of his name. And since it's not a Unicode-approved emoji, it'll only be visible on Apple devices. If you are looking at his profile on a Windows computer or an Android phone, you'll either see a blocked-out square or just a random symbol. © Twitter Here's the clip in case you missed it yesterday - Trump just called Apple CEO Tim Cook “Tim Apple” pic.twitter.com/gTHHtjWvc9 — Sean O'Kane (@sokane1) March 6, 2019 The clip has been watched over 10 million times and has over 200,000 favourites since it was posted on the micro-blogging site. -

Valentine's Day is probably the most hated day for all the single people out there and I think a lot of people generally just ignore the day altogether.

Neymar Jr., the world's most expensive footballer, may have been ruled out for 10 weeks because of a metatarsal injury, but that didn't stop him from celebrating his birthday in the most epic (and fashionable) way possible. He wore a red suit, layered impeccably and accessorized with a hat. © Instagram The fact that he's truly fashion forward was proved by his choice of outfit and the way he accessorized them. Who in the world would have thought of using one's crutches as a fashion accessory? He just did that by carrying crutches that matched the colour of his outfit. © Instagram © Instagram Coming to footwear, he wore a pair of Jordans by Nike that had his name and birthday written on them.

Ranveer Singh's Pants With His Name Written On Them Were As Extra As He Was At Umang 2019
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Ranveer Singh is extra. Everyone knows that. But even that extra becomes a little more, well, 'extra', on certain occasions. The cultural festival organized by Mumbai Police, 'Umang', is one of them. Ranveer has a history of going all out during Umang, to the delight of fashion enthusiasts. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nitasha Gaurav (@nitashagaurav) on Jan 27, 2019 at 11:04am PST This year, too, he wore a head-to-toe leopard print outfit, which has been making headlines. However, what we're focusing on here is the other outfit he wore (not that it needs to be focused on, because look!) © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani If the mad holographic realness of the sparkling jacket wasn't enough, he paired it with pants that were special in more ways than one. They had his initials 'RS' embroidered on, all over. © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani If that's not extra, we don't know what is. Clearly, it rubbed on to everyone around, and they all seem to have had a ball! © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani Talk about making the city dance to one's tunes. *Applause* -
Sometimes, it's better to be a gracious loser than to be a vicious winner. And especially when you're someone like Cheteshwar Pujara, who is renowned for his honesty both on and off the cricket field. Despite taking Saurashtra to the final by scoring a blistering 131, Pujara was booed by the crowd as a 'cheater'. After grabbing the man of the series in last month's epic triumph over the Aussies it was a complete shocker to see Pujara get booed on his home ground. This happened on the second day of the match when Pujara had gloved a threatening delivery from Abhimanyu Mithun. The opponents started to celebrate but the batsman didn't leave his crease thanks to Saiyed Khalid, the umpire who didn't hear the edge. "Cheater, cheater Pujara cheater," Cricket fans at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium chanting at Cheteshwar Pujara #KARvSAU #RanjiTrophy #Pujara pic.twitter.com/KvZNwqDQC9 — Sportseam (@sportseam) January 27, 2019 And to make the narrative more dramatic, the same incident occurred again in the second innings, when Pujara was on 29 and this time, with Vinay Kumar on the balling end. Moreover, he went on to score an unbeaten century and carried Saurashtra on his shoulders to the Finals by beating Karnataka. Everything has limits. It was second time in the match that he nicked a ball to the keeper. And collectively third umpiring error against Karnataka. And fourth one in whole match...#RanjiTrophy #KARvSAU #Pujara pic.twitter.com/pY1gv2g7p7 — Cricfan ð (@Cricfan007) January 27, 2019 However, when you've earned the status of the 'Second Wall', then you've got to stand by it as well. And that is something Pujara missed out on in this clash. This incident not only irked Karnataka supporters, but also led to his own fans turning on him. Here are some reactions where people bashed Pujara: Sorry Pujara you have lost our respect... Yes it was not by rules, but you could have shown some dignity. Because people idolizes you to the greats. **** the spirit of sportsmanship...

Virat Kohli Etches His Name In History Books After Sweeping Top Honors At The ICC Awards
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
“Self-belief and hard-work will always earn you success,” this not just a statement given by a random person. It's by the man who stands by his words and has almost claimed every award a cricketer could get his hands on in international cricket. Yes, it's none other than our very own Virat Kohli. Arguably the most successful cricketer of his generation, Virat Kohli has achieved yet another milestone as he becomes the first player in the history to win all 3 major ICC awards in a single year. From bagging the Men's Cricketer of the Year to be named as the Test and ODI Cricketer of the Year, Kohli has won it all at once. And his accolades don't stop there. The Delhi lad has also been appointed as the captain for both ODI and Test Team of the Year. ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year â ICC Men's Test Cricketer of the Year â ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year â Captain of ICC Test Team of the Year â Captain of ICC Men's ODI Team of the Year â Let's hear from the man himself, @imvKohli! #ICCAwards ð pic.twitter.com/3M2pxyC44n — ICC (@ICC) January 22, 2019 We know winning awards for King Kohli must be a regular thing by now, but even he would be elated bagging them all at once. Following a blistering run in 2018, Kohli amassed a total of 1,322 runs at an average of 55.08 with five centuries in just 13 Tests. On the other hand, his statistics in One-Day Internationals are out of the world. The right-hander has piled up 1,202 runs at an astonishing strike-rate of 133.55 with six hundreds in just 14 ODI games – something that substantiates his credentials as the one of the best in business. During a pre-match press conference, ahead of the first ODI against New Zealand, Kohli said: “It has been an amazing year. I was able to play in a manner that I would not have imagined. If the intention is right and you keep working hard, the results are there in front of your own eyes”. “The intent has always to be helping your team at any cost, that is when these performances come by and you are pushing yourself to the limit, which you otherwise will not be able to. That is something I experienced in 2018 a lot,” he added. Apart from Kohli, his teammates Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant were also included in the Test Team of the Year, while Kuldeep Yadav and Rohit Sharma made the cut for the ODI Team of the Year.

Nargis Fakhri is coming back on the silver screen after a long hiatus and this time it is a horror movie called 'Amavas'. The movie also stars Sachiin Joshi and by the looks of the trailer, it fails to draw any emotion actually. The first thing that will come to your mind after you watch the trailer is that it kind of gives you a hangover of movies like '1920' and '1921', that's because the man behind the camera is Bhushan Patel. As the name suggests, the movie traces the haunting of the 'Amavas ki raat'. The movie also stars Ali Asgar and Mona Singh in pivotal roles and is all set to release on 11th January, 2019.

What did you feel when 'Avengers: Infinity War' ended? Sadness? Emptiness? Well, it doesn't matter because Marvel is back to fill you with hope once again. One of the most anticipated trailers of the year is finally here. 'Avengers: ENDGAME.' Plug in your earphones, buy new headphones, buy a 4K TV damnit. But, you have to watch this right now!! (It's also available in Hindi, Tamil & Telugu. Scroll to the bottom for those versions.) We are at a loss for words. So, while we gather our thoughts and think of everything that just happened, here are a few things we noticed in the trailer: - Robert Downey Jr. knows how to own a scene. Even when he's talking to an empty helmet. He is absolutely brilliant. It's time to declare him a national treasure. No, an international treasure! - The music for this trailer will make you forget everything that's happened all day. It happened to us. It's going to happen to you. - The new animation for the Marvel logo just reminded us of the gut punch that was the ending of 'Avengers: Infinity War.' It also reminded us how great Marvel are at tying their movies with their logos. - Looking at Thanos' suit reminded us of a scarecrow. Does Thanos think he was the scarecrow for the universe? What does that even mean? We have no idea. But, does it really matter? We're just rambling here... - Got to mention that music once more. - Chris Evans with a tear running down his face? Made us cry. Made you too, right? - Thor looks so defeated. Where's the enthusiasm from 'Avengers: Infinity War?' - We even felt bad for Nebula. Her sister was pretty much all she had in the universe. - Jeremy Renner is back. But, he's no longer Hawkeye. This is our first look at Ronin. He's still human. Probably not going to be the comic relief anymore. And he has a sick sword! - Every single movie in Hollywood and the world should learn how to introduce their titles from 'Avengers: ENDGAME.' Everything is stunning. Absolutely stunning! - Paul Rudd is back. We're sure to get a look into how Ant-Man managed to escape the Quantum Realm. Even if we don't, who cares. We're glad Paul Rudd is finally back with the big boys. He's a comedy legend. There's more to come. So much more to come. We can't wait... Here's the trailer in Hindi: Here's the trailer in Tamil: And here it is in Telugu: -
No Sign of Cristiano Ronaldo Or Lionel Messi As The Name Of 2018 Ballon d'Or Winner Gets Leaked
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
The world of football has seen many superstars over the ages, but the ongoing reign of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is arguably something that's going to last in our memories for a really long time. The two footballing greats have made the sport their own playing arena and the fact that they have won a record five Ballon d'Ors, goes on to show how dominant they have been in the last decade. The duel for football's top individual award began in 2008 when Ronaldo pipped Messi to bag his first Ballon d'Or. But, the Argentine was not to be underestimated as he went on to bag the coveted award for four successive years. While many had ruled Ronaldo out of ever coming close to his nemesis, the Portuguese didn't lose hope and went on to clinch the Ballon d'Or in 2013 and 2014. The next year saw Messi staging a comeback, taking his tally to a record five Ballon d'Or wins in 2015. But, Ronaldo shut all the naysayers after bagging the prestigious award in 2016 and 2017 to equal Messi's record of most Ballon d'Or triumphs. With both the Phenoms tied at five wins apiece, this year's Ballon d'Or is being anxiously awaited by football pundits and fans to see who'll come out on top and take the lead in most Ballon d'Or wins. © Reuters However, contrary to popular perception, it has emerged that we might have to wait a little longer to see the showdown between Ronaldo and Messi. If the recent reports are to be believed, neither Ronaldo, nor Messi will win the Ballon d'Or this year. In fact, there will be a new star who'll bring an end to the Ronaldo-Messi era that has dominated the Ballon d'Or since Kaka won it in 2007. As per Eric Macruth, a French journalist who works for French radio station RFI, it's Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric who will clinch the 2018 Ballon d'Or. “Exclusive #BallondOr: After counting half the votes, the head trio is as follows: 1) Modric 2) @raphaelvarane 3 @KMbappe. @xbarretfoot @RFIRadioFoot Info @RFIsports,” he tweeted. Earlier this year, Modric had also bagged the European Player of the Year and FIFA's Best Player awards, beating both Ronaldo and Messi. The Croat helped Real Madrid win the UEFA Champions League back in May for the third year on the trot. And then, the veteran played a pivotal role in guiding Croatia to the FIFA World Cup final in Russia. © Reuters Raphael Varane claiming the second spot on the list would not surprise many, owing to his exploits on the football pitch this year. Just like his club mate Modric, the French international won this year's UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid. And then, the star defender celebrated one of the biggest moments of his career as part of the French side that recently lifted the FIFA World Cup. The third name on the list, Kylian Mbappe, was touted to pip the likes of Ronaldo and Messi to claim the Ballon d'Or this year. The 19-year-old propelled Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to another Ligue 1 title earlier this year, starring alongside Neymar and Edinson Cavani in attack. He also got his name on the scoresheet in the final as France won the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1998. While we aren't sure whether the recent reports or the tweet that allegedly leaked the top 3 can be trusted, but the news will surely not go down for Ronaldo who was really keen on bagging the award this year. “I already know, in my heart, that I am one of the best players in history. Of course, I want to win this sixth Ballon d'Or!”, Raonaldo had said earlier this year. -
Fake Health Foods That Sell Like Hot Cakes In The Name Of Fat Loss & Good Health
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
With the fitness and health industry being on an uptrend, everyone is jumping on the wagon of eating healthy or picking healthier options for meals. While the idea of eating healthy is a very good thing, there is something you should know about the companies or marketers selling the so-called healthy foods. They market the hell out of foods that may not even be slightly healthy, or conducive or helpful to your goal of getting in shape. I like to call them 'fake' health foods. Here are some of them that you may be guilty of adding into your shopping cart every time you're at the mall or grocery store: 1) Packaged Fruit Juices © Pixabay These are often marketed as the health food/drink you should be consuming first thing in the morning to start your day. Just NO! If you ever flip the label and see the nutrition content, these so-called health drinks are loaded with sugar making them no different from the regular sodas or colas you may be drinking. And juicing, in general, is not a great way to consume your fruits. It just destroys all the fibre from fruit, which promotes satiety in consuming them. The store-bought ones are anyway not healthy in any sense. 2) Cereal Bars Or Snack Bars © Pixabay This was a tough competitor for the no. 1 spot on this list. Yes, a lot of brands have started selling cereal bars or health bars. They are often even marketed as meal bars or the best breakfast you can get in a small packet. Absolutely not! If you look at the label of it and compare it to a normal chocolate bar, you will see that both are almost the same. These so-called snack bars are just another sugar-loaded food marketed differently to you. Instead, you would be better off eating a chocolate bar, as it will not taste half as bad as these fake health bars. 3) Sugarfree Or Diet Biscuits © Pixabay Another fake one on the radar! The story with these are the same, even though sugar may not be an ingredient on the list, the fat content of these biscuits are twice as those of regular biscuits or cookies. And in the regular biscuits as well, sugar is not present in that high quantities. A surprising (or not) reality is that, by adding this additional fat into them, they are often higher in calories than the regular cookies and they taste terrible and are priced twice the normal cookies. 4) Fruit Yoghurt © Pixabay Oh, how could I? Right? I have nothing against yoghurt. Go for the low-fat, normal fat, full-fat one. Up to you. Yoghurt is actually a very good food to consume and if you pick any plain variety of it, you are actually picking good food there. Then comes the added flavour or the fruit yoghurts. All of a sudden, the yoghurt has lesser protein, more carbs, fats, and added sugar. These macros of the tasty-yet-healthy flag bearing foods are no different than that of an ice-cream. Beware of these so-called healthy foods as they may ruin your diets and never let you get in shape.

In A Quest To Find The Girl He Met On Campus, A Canadian Guy Emailed 246 Girls With The Same Name
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
A lot of people claim that they can go to the ends of the Earth for their lover, you know, the “aasmaan se taare tod launga” type? As cliche as it might sound, some girls do get flattered by such passionate proclamations, but imagine if you happen to witness something of the sort (though, of course, not to an equivalent degree of similarity but equally hatke), and also be unintentional and weirdly connected to the entire episode, how would that make you feel? Something very similar happened to all those girls at the University of Calgary in Canada who went by the name 'Nicole'. On a regular college day, 246 Nicole(s) who were enrolled in the University of Calgary received a mass email from a university freshman named Carlos Zetina. © Twitter In the mail, he stated that his message was intended for the Nicole, who he had met at the campus bar the previous night, who was from Holland, who probably thought Nietzsche was depressing and who had perhaps given him a wrong number by mistake, hence making it impossible for him to reach out to her again. This man just emailed EVERY SINGLE NICOLE AT U OF C bc he got given a fake number. We now have a FB group and plans for a Nicole hang out. Thanks Carlos xoxo pic.twitter.com/bRAT5sXRtV — Nicole Sparling (@irish_dancer66) September 7, 2018 Imagine landing yourself such an earnest and persistent guy who, we're hoping, has no skewed intentions. However, the email led to the coming together of a number of Nicole(s) from the mailing list and a mini meetup happened where all the other girls decided to help Zetina track down the actual Nicole. © Twitter They set up a Facebook group called 'Nicole From Last Night' and formed a 'Nicole network' to find the intended recipient of the email. Apparently, Zetina had written the mail to not appear like a guy who didn't bother to text back a girl after taking her number. Ah, well. It's the thought that counts right? At long last, the actual Nicole (who hadn't received the mass email) heard about the interesting developments from a fellow friend and responded on the group, stating that she was the girl Zetina was looking for and that he must have taken down a digit incorrectly in her number, which led to the entire situation. Well, all is well that ends well, right? Even Zetina wouldn't have imagined this would become so big a thing on social media. -
Wife Finds Girlfriend's Name Tattooed On Her Husband's Arm & Beats Him Up
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
As a rule of life, no one, and I mean no one, should get a tattoo of their significant other's name ever. It almost never works out and then you're left with a constant reminder for life. Who would want that, especially after a breakup? So, here's a cautionary tale for every guy who's even considering getting a tattoo for their girlfriend. Sure, she'll find it romantic and stuff at the time, but just imagine breaking up and then being married to someone else, who spots that very romantic gesture you did for some other woman. What will she do? Beat you up, of course! That's exactly what a newly-married couple in Tamil Nadu just went through. What probably was supposed to be their honeymoon period turned into a literal nightmare for the husband, after his wife beat him up for having an ex's name tattooed. The 22-year-old wife was waiting at a bus stop with her 20-year-old husband when she noticed some other girl's name on his arm. (I mean, arms are a pretty visible area, she should've seen it before, but never mind, let's continue.) Okay, yes, what he did was stupid, but the wife's next step was not at all cool. Yes, you can be angry but beating up someone is never the answer, violence against anyone should be discouraged. But, she was so enraged that she ended up brutally beating him, that too in public. After a point, the husband even tried to run for his life and even feigned a heart attack, but nothing stopped her and her fists of rage. Some onlookers then took the couple to the police station, after first recording the incident, of course. A police officer revealed to TOI that this was the woman's second marriage. “After separating from her first husband, she and her child were staying with her parents. She had married the young man after a love affair,” the officer said. -
This week, the team have been discussing the one thing they can not live without. Some found this a hard question to answer. What is the one thing you cannot live without? A tricky question for some. Could you pick just one thing? Brandon (Senior tech support and development) My family is my saving grace and escape, and even though they're (collectively) the ones typically causing me the most work I wouldn't trade them for anything. Mark H (Tech support) I believe my choice would have to be "good coffee". I can deal with no phone, even deal with no credit card. But no coffee? The horror.... the horror. (2 points for naming the reference). Marc S (Tech Support) For me, no matter how much I like my computer, and look around for my phone before I do so much as make a coffee, it would have to be speakers. Not because I have a decent set of speakers, and don't even have to be my own speakers, but something that can play music. Whether I'm doing tickets, developing, cleaning, driving, sat in my office or sat in a bar, its the one thing I cant do without. Rhett (Cloud Support) The question really has two answers, On the tech side, it would be my iPhone, I can do anything from it you can think of really and my go to device for communication of all sorts. In life in general, that's an easy one, "My children, they are the center of my life, and really all that matters is I have them by my side!" Matt (Senior Developer) The one "thing" means I don't have to say family or kids! So I definitely think it has to be my MacBook Pro. I switched from a traditional desktop set-up earlier in the year and haven't looked back. I like being able to pick up my MacBook and carry on working while out and about. When I'm home, I plug it up to my two external monitors and it performs as well as any desktop. Jennifer (Designer) My iPhone. There is no worse thing than leaving my house without being able to check my chat programs or to be able to play Pokemon Go. Daniel (Senior tech support and development) The nerd in me can't live without alfredapp to automate all the things! ( check out their great forum https://www.alfredforum.com ) And the two hours a day of free time I get, I couldn't be without my son and bike. Stuart (Senior tech support and development) I pretty much couldn't be without my laptop, I use it for everything from Gaming, Films to Work. Is there one thing that you can't be without? Let us know below!
