Sushma Swaraj Says 'Main Hoon Na' To Indian In UAE Threatening To Take His Life If Not Helped
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Sushma Swaraj has saved quite a few lives in her tenure as the Union External Affairs Minister, and literally so. Over time, she has turned into a sort of quasi-godmother for Indians residing abroad, who swiftly steps up to help those in need. Swaraj has been actively helping Indians living abroad, who reach out to her in moments of distress through social media platforms such as Twitter. © Twitter Earlier today, she pulled a 'Main Hoon Na' move when an Indian national in Saudi Arabia reached out to her and she assured to help him out by saying “hum hain na”. An Indian named Ali had been trying to leave Saudi and get back to India for the past one year. He had been in touch with the Indian Embassy in Riyadh for the same purpose, however, nothing came out of his efforts even after 12 months of struggle, and as a last resort he reached out to Swaraj for help. 'Khud kusi' ki baat nahin sochte. Hum hain na. Hamari Embassy aapki poori madad karegi. @IndianEmbRiyadh - Pls send me a report on this. https://t.co/ajU8EXyhAK — Chowkidar Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) April 18, 2019 In his plea, he stated that he has tried tooth and nail to get back to India, but the Indian Embassy has shown no seriousness in considering his request. Now, the man said that if help is not sent, he might have to take his own life, as he can see no other way. To this Swaraj promptly replied saying, “Khud kusi ki baat nahin sochte. Hum hain na. Hamari Embassy aapki poori madad karegi. @IndianEmbRiyadh - Pls send me a report on this,” and asked the authorities to look into the matter. © Twitter This isn't all. We have witnessed Sushma Swaraj come to the rescue of many others in the past as well. Last year she also responded to a tweet stating that she personally handled her Twitter account, and it wasn't “her ghost” doing it for her. She has a great sense of humour and an even greater sense of responsibility and accountability for her duty as well as her position. -
Not Varun Or Alia, It's The CGI-Ed Bull From 'Kalank' That Was The Best Actor In The Film
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
There are some movies that are bad and then there is 'Kalank', which is so bad that people only love to troll it. 'Kalank' is one of those movies that could have just been a trailer or a short film. The story was so predictable and almost everything was given away in the trailer itself. But, people still went to watch it and we guess the only reason was to come back and make these hilarious memes. © dharma productions However, out of all the performances of Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapoor or Madhuri Dixit, it is the performance of the CGI-Ed bull that was loved by people. Although the makers put a disclaimer mentioning that no animals were harmed while filming the bullfight scene, why wasn't there any disclaimer stating "Watch it at your own risk because the CGI is bad"? © dharma productions We guess KJo loves bullfights, or maybe he wanted to take inspiration from 'Baahubali: The Conclusion'. Also, FYI, Karan Johar's Dharma Productions is the same production house that produced 'Baahubali: The Conclusion'. © arka media works Seriously what is this obsession with showing a character's strength by making them fight a bull? First it was Bhallaladeva, now it's Varun Dhawan's Zafar. But, just look at the difference between the CGI effects and VFX in both the movies. Looks like internet can't seem to get over Varun's struggle with the fake bull and have turned that particular scene into a meme.

Looks Like The Best Part Of 'Kalank' Is Not The Movie Itself But The Hilarious Memes On It
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Looks like the audience cannot get enough of being 'tabaah ho gaye' after watching and experiencing the magnum opus of this year, 'Kalank'. The Alia Bhatt-Varun Dhawan starrer movie is a tale of pain and love set amidst the backdrop of the pre-partition era and while many expectations have been shattered in a day, the memes cannot stop pouring on our social media feeds. Audience after watching Kalank. #KalankReview pic.twitter.com/FxGps5Bb2y — Sagar (@sagarcasm) April 17, 2019 Audience in theatre: #KalankReview pic.twitter.com/cdD93CUqEv — Bwoy Bakchod (@bwoybakchod) April 17, 2019 People are claiming they tried hard to find something they can actually like about the movie but alas, they couldn't.

There Are People Who Have Never Seen 'Game Of Thrones' & No, They Are Not Weird
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
We're only half way through April and already sweating like a pig in the scorching heat, but for some people 'winter is here'. A winter that includes lots of dragons, swords, *** and brutal deaths. © HBO Just like most people, I too was waiting for 'Game of Thrones' final season to air. Not because I am a die-hard fan or something, but to laugh at memes and jokes that will probably make no sense to me, and yet are damn funny. Also, because I am done with the barrage of tweets and posts on my timeline, talking about the Starks, Lannisters, Jon Snow, betrayals, reunions, and the White Walkers. © HBO Yesterday, when I walked into my office, everyone was busy discussing the first episode of season 8. My friends stared at me in disgust that how can someone not watch GOT. I could hear the bells ringing and people shouting 'Shame' in the background. But, at least I had a good sleep since I didn't wake up at 6:30 AM to watch the episode. Plus, I can check social media to my heart's content, without worrying about spoilers and send spoilers to people I hate. Sadly, the GOT fandom couldn't infect me at all. How I'll sleep tonight knowing I've never seen an episode of Game of Thrones pic.twitter.com/tQXpXnnwrj — Ryan Schocket (@RyanSchocket) April 15, 2019 Honestly, I have never really understood the hype around the show. I won't lie, at one point I did give in to the cultural pressure of missing out on something more important than 'global issues'. I tried watching an episode (actually I was forced by my colleagues who probably run a GOT fan club), but I just couldn't sit through it. Not even for Priyanka Chopra's 'devrani ji'. © HBO But, what I did understand was that I am not the only one who has never watched 'Game of Thrones'. There are people like me who have never seen the show and probably never will, and neither do they care about who sits on the throne. AND looks like the society HAS accepted people like us. by not watching game of thrones did i miss out on a big cultural moment? probably - but none of you guys listen to enough jazz so whatever — Natalie Weiner (@natalieweiner) April 14, 2019 Ever since HBO confirmed the final season, internet is divided between those who watch it, and those who troll people for not watching it. If you haven't already noticed, tired of the GOT spoilers and hashtags, people started posting 'I don't watch Game of Thrones'. you guys really fucking love game of thrones. which is great. it is great to love things. I honestly thought it was the last episode ever or something, I've never seen humans so collectively excited. i am happy for you I really am. excited to find my game of thrones one day — christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) April 15, 2019 When you see your entire TL is talking about Game of Thrones but you don't watch it..... pic.twitter.com/xiDgUL8ykO — A R I A (@DuchyofSuccess) April 15, 2019 not at Coachella don't watch Game of Thrones can i still use twitter today?? — Shonduras (@Shonduras) April 14, 2019 people who don't watch game of thrones on the tl rn pic.twitter.com/zpAXdKSjN6 — antoine (@asxhaa) April 15, 2019 How I feel when everyone watched Game Of Thrones except me pic.twitter.com/r5dt1EJJmN — ~Quan J~ (@Qjacks13) April 15, 2019 Me retweeting Games Of Thrones spoilers cuz I don't watch it and I'm a terrorist pic.twitter.com/tVe5KSjCQD — Darnish (@ASVP_Dee) April 15, 2019 how do i block these game of thrones posts. i only hate GOT because of the cultures obnoxious obsession. i hate matted fur, winter settings, long beards, and dragons that are not of asian descent — ðð¶ðð¾ðð (@ariespotatohead) April 15, 2019 All 7 of us in the world who don't watch Game of Thrones should get together to not watch Game of Thrones every week while everyone else is watching it — Zach Wallen (@Zach_Wallen) April 6, 2019 Anyone not watching Game of Thrones: we're meeting in Times Square in a half hour to run the opening of "A Chorus Line." — Tim Federle (@TimFederle) April 15, 2019 My twitter feed lately: game of thrones golf half naked people at coachella old town road tiger woods random depressing tweet — gabby (@gabbyrking) April 15, 2019 I dunno why people are so jumpy about spoilers, everyone's Game of Thrones tweets are just completely inscrutable stuff out of context like "BOY HE BOUT TO DO IT" — Zack Budryk (@BudrykZack) April 15, 2019 I've only seen up to Season 2 of #GameofThrones, so I find this really annoying... pic.twitter.com/mEgdWpFZHj — Ryan N (@RNatEWU84) April 15, 2019 I didn't go to Coachella, I don't watch Game of Thrones, but I did file my tax extension, so I guess I exist? — Erica Rhodes (@ericarhodes) April 15, 2019 But, for every tweet from a non GoT person, there were at least 10 fans trolling them. running out of trophies to give to the people who don't watch Game of Thrones! — Audrey Porne (@AudreyPorne) April 14, 2019 People out here talking bout they don't watch Game of Thrones.

I mean, someday we might have our own GOT moment and go batshit crazy over a show, but after seven seasons and S8: Episode 1, we can say it's not going to happen with this one. -
Vladimir Putin's Earnings As The Russian President In 2018 Is So Less That It's Not Even Funny
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Russian President Vladimir Putin is known to be the most powerful man in the world. So, naturally, you'd expect the world's most powerful man to earn more than pretty much every other political leader in the world, right? Well, if you go by the numbers posted on the Kremlin's official website, it's not really the case. According to the website, Vladimir Putin earned 8.7 million Rubles last year as the President of Russia, which roughly translates to about $135,000. Yes, that's apparently how much he made from his official salary, a military pension, interest on savings, and other investment gains. © Reuters That number, in case you are wondering, comes down to about $11,200 a month as Putin's average monthly income. Funnily enough, Putin's real property did not change from last year. According to the tax returns, he owns an apartment with an area of 77 square meters and a garage of 18 square meters. And among his official assets are two vintage Volga GAZ M21 sedans as well as a Niva SUV and a Skif tent trailer. Of course, no one's questioning Putin's net worth here. But as noted by the folks over at Quartz, something doesn't quite add up. Take his luxury watch collection, for instance. The collection alone is said to be valued at 22 million rubles i.e. roughly $3.5 million. His watch collections reportedly include pieces like a Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar, a Blancpain Leman Aqua Lung Grande Date, and a platinum A. Lange & Söhne Tourbograph, which are some of the finest timepieces in the world. © Reuters Looks like it's true what they say about Putin. He may never appear on Forbes' rich list, but his personal wealth is bigger than that of Bill Gates. There's no way to tell if the reports are true, so we'll let you read Putin's financial disclosure here. -
MP Woman Seeking Divorce From Husband For Not Bathing Is Why Men Need To Take Grooming Seriously
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
We live in strange times and weird things happen around us all the time. However, things become even more mind-boggling when stranger things begin to make sense. In 2016, we heard a Meerut based cleric report that his wife was threatening to commit suicide if he didn't shave off his beard. If you find that weird, then read this. A Times Now report has shared that a 23-year-old woman from Madhya Pradesh has filed for divorce from her husband, because her 25-year-old partner refused to shave and bathe for 7-8 days at a stretch. (c) Reliance Entertainment The couple married last year, and upon hearing their mutual plea, the Bhopal family court has asked them to live separately for six months before granting them a divorce decree. via GIPHY A court counsellor Shail Awasthi told PTI, “Women now-a-days are separating from their husband over petty issues. This woman, who hails from Barigarh near Bhopal, complained that her husband stinks and when she asks him to bathe, he wears perfume to beat the odour.” via GIPHY Well, that's something. And regardless of the absurd premise for seeking divorce, it kind of still makes sense. In a way, this is sort of a life lesson for men to take their personal grooming needs more seriously. As we can see, nowadays even grooming or lack of it can make or break the deal, and honestly no woman or man likes a stinking, shabby partner. So, we can't really blame this woman, can we? -
Here Is Why Omega Supplements Are Not Really Necessary For Your Body
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
You must have seen people supplementing Omega 3-6-9 in their diet. In this article, we'll first have a comprehensive look at what these fatty acids are and then we will decide if you actually need to take them as a supplement or not. Omega 3 Fatty Acids Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids meaning that your body cannot make them by itself and you need to consume it in your diet. The Three most common types of omega 3 are EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA(Docosahexaenoic acid) and Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Omega-3's are a crucial part of human cell membranes and have a number of other important functions, including: â Increasing good cholesterol which improves heart health by reducing triglycerides and blood pressure. â Omega 3's reduce symptoms of psychotic disorders which improve mental health and reduces symptoms of depression. â Consumption of Omega 3's decreases Liver Fat and helps in weight management. â They improve bone density and helps your body to fight against inflammation. © Getty Images Unfortunately, an average adult's diet lacks in omega 3's. This has also contributed to a rise in various ailments like obesity, diabetes and heart disease in the past decade or two. Good source of omega 3 include, fish, chia seeds, walnuts, flaxseeds etc. Omega 6 Fatty Acids Omega 6 Fatty acids are also essential therefore you need to consume them from your natural diet. These fats are primarily used by the body for energy. Linoleic acid is the most common type of omega 6 fatty acid. Though omega 6's are essential, our diet normally consists of more omega 6's than required. The recommended ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 is 4:1, while our diet exceeds this ratio manifolds. Since the majority of foods items are cooked in Oils like soyabean oil or sunflower oil, Indians receive more than what is required of this fatty acid. Other sources like Mayonnaise, cashews and walnuts also contain omega 6, therefore there is hardly any individual who does not get enough of this omega acid from his diet. Omega 9 Fatty Acids © Getty Images Omega 9 is non-essential fatty acid meaning your body is capable of producing it by itself. Since they are non-essential there is no adequate intake recommendation for them. Omega 9 are the most abundant fats in the human body. Studies show that consumption of high monounsaturated fats like omega 9, instead of other types of fats could reduce triglycerides levels and bad cholesterol (LDL). Sources of omega 9 are Olive Oil, Cashews, Almonds, Avocado, Peanuts, and Walnuts etc. Do You Really Need To Supplement Them? With the above information, it is quite clear that there's hardly any need to supplement Omega 6 and Omega 9. You just need to supplement Omega 3, that too if you are not able to complete the intake through natural foods. You should always try to consume the fatty acids in the right balance to maintain a healthy life balance. -
Here's How To Eat Wisely & Not Put On Weight During Vacation While Still Having Fun
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Summers have already begun and I am assuming that in a few weeks from now, you would be planning your summer holidays, just like every other year. But unlike every year, you don't really have to come back from your holidays after gaining pounds of fat on your belly. Wherever you are heading this summer, the tips that I am going to share with you in this article are going to help you in maintaining your weight as well as heath during your vacation: 1. Practice Portion Control Credit - Getty Images I know that it's impossible to stay on a diet while you are on a vacation. And frankly speaking, you shouldn't really be too rigid while you are on a full-fledged vacation with your closed ones. So while you would be losing track of your diet, what you can at least do is to practice some portion control. Now, this won't really stop the damage but at least it will lower the degree of the damage. The problem begins when you binge-eat food items that were not ideally a part of your diet. Thus, while it's good to indulge yourself in some new and tasty food items that come your way during vacations, keep in mind that you should not binge-eat them. 2. Keep Your Protein Intake In Check Credit - Getty Images Majority of the food items that you consume while travelling or during vacations are full of calories. Generally, these calories come from carbs. Thus, it is almost sure that your carb intake is going to be sufficient during vacation. It is your protein intake that you will have to take off. Try to include a portion of protein in all the meals of the day whenever possible. Adding food source that contains protein will increase its satiety factor and thus you won't be feeling hungry too soon. This will help you to save yourself from overeating. 3. Have Foods High In Fibre Credit - Getty Images Just like protein, fibre intake also goes for a toss while you are out on a vacation. Thus, have foods that will add to the fibre intake for the day as well. So while you are having lunch outside and ordering your favourite dish, just add on a portion of vegetables or salad along with that. This will add on to the fibre content of your meal and thus also increase the satiety factor. 4. Limit Alcohol And Other Drinks Credit - Getty Images Though it's difficult to stay away from the temptation of alcohol while you are on a beach holiday, I would still suggest keeping your alcohol intake in check. Alcohol and other sugary drinks like flavoured juices and colas just add on to the calories and do not provide any kind of nutrition. Make sure you are not consuming too much of any of these. 5. Stay Physically Active Credit - Getty Images When you feel things are going a little haywire in terms of maintaining a good diet, try to compensate it with staying a little more active. Performing some form of cardio is one such move that you can make. You can also indulge in some outdoor sports activity like cricket and badminton along with your friends to enjoy the company and burn some calories. I am not saying that this will compensate poor nutrition entirely but at least it may help with the damage control. -
People Are Not Happy About Amit Shah & BJP Casually Promoting Ethnic Cleansing
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
While recently addressing a rally in Darjeeling, Amit Shah said that if the BJP was brought to power again in the 2019 polls, they will ensure the National Register of Citizens(NRC) is put in place across the country and followed it up with a rather controversial comment. He basically said that all 'infiltrators' will be removed from India, with a few exceptions, that are 'Buddha, Hindu, and Sikhs'. We will ensure implementation of NRC in the entire country. We will remove every single infiltrator from the country, except Buddha, Hindus and Sikhs: Shri @AmitShah #NaMoForNewIndia — BJP (@BJP4India) April 11, 2019 As soon as this particular quote was tweeted by the official Twitter account of BJP, a lot of people disapproved the casual promotion of what's basically ethnic cleansing and are trying to remind everyone the meaning of secularism. The comment has caused an uproar on the website and almost all the replies are against it. have u ever heard "india is a secular nation" ?? from what you've tweeted i'm guessing no. — sanjana with luvð§ð½âï¸ • ia (@joonsinfinity) April 11, 2019 People did not like it at all. Kindly don't use Sikhs for your votes....we will be happy if you remove "sikhs" as well from your tweet....muslims are our brothers as much as Hindus or other religions.... — Avtar Singh (@AvtarSi18298015) April 11, 2019 A little comic relief came in the form of people being concerned about the well being of Smriti Irani's husband. @smritiirani what to do now, Zubin is Parasi and Parasi's are not in list....so any plan of migration! — SKS (@shail_gyani) April 11, 2019 Back to serious stuff. just openly advocating ethnic cleansing https://t.co/IwsI7Bu5o7 — âï¸ (@brownaandlovely) April 11, 2019 Not just their account, that's the party president at a public rally https://t.co/D2LDeGjoF6 — Raghav Chopra (@AarSee) April 11, 2019 What will you do to Muslims? Had Dr. APJ Kalam been alive today you would have sent him to Pakistan I guess. Wow and you expect us to vote for you. Shame on you — Vaishali âð¼ (@TimeTideRide) April 11, 2019 At this point you might as well say we hate all Muslims. Muslims born here there's very little we can do about it sadly. Rest all we see as 'termites' so we'll get them deported or killed. Running on an open platform of bigotry has been never been this far reaching. SHAME — Siddarth (@ojay_34) April 11, 2019 Someone tell them the meaning, please. While at it, u might as well remove the word 'secular' from the constitution! That word has lost its sanctity anyway! ð¤¦ð»âï¸ — Anuradha ð¯+âï¸ (@ann_ac22) April 11, 2019 A lot of people just want to remove them first. India lets remove them first https://t.co/jas752Uvdj — Gurmehar Kaur (@mehartweets) April 11, 2019 -
Emilia Clarke Reveals Sansa Is Not Going To Be Dany's Biggest Fan In 'GOT' Season 8
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
It's been two years since the last season of 'Game Of Thrones' premiered. April 14 is right here, and people have been calling it the beginning of the end. We can't wait to find out the fate of our beloved characters. From crazy fan theories to insane speculations, various threads on Quora and Reddit have tried to dissect the ending. But no one can confirm things. The creators of GOT have been tight-lipped about the plot surrounding season 8. However, we do know that cliffhangers from season 7 will be answered in the coming days and the long-awaited war between the white walkers and the living will finally happen. This also means we will be seeing more reunions in season 8 (Jon and Arya is one reunion that we're waiting for). Daenerys, Sansa and Arya meeting is one such face-off that is going to happen in the first episode. In a new interview with a leading publication, Emilia Clarke talks about the fact that Daenerys will meet the Stark sisters for the first time in the very first episode of the latest season. Dany, in order to rule, needs Snow and his allies to cooperate which is why she needs to get along with Sansa and Arya. © HBO "I like to think that it's like 'Meet the Parents,'" Clarke told the publication. "It's like: 'I hope they like me. This dude's wicked. It's a real good thing we got going on. He's the final piece. We're destined for greatness and world domination is a breath away.' And so I need to be like: 'Can I braid your hair, Sansa? Little Arya, come over here, let's play some cricket.' So there's that. And then, very, very quickly, it's like: 'Wait, is it just me, or do they hate me?'" You will get to witness the Stark-Targaryen face-off on 15 April, 2019. -
Like It Or Not, You'll Face These 5 Hurdles While Trying To Lose Weight
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
In the previous article, I shared some uncomfortable truths one should know before they decide to get on a journey to get shredded to the bone. As there are too many pointers on the same, I decided to break this series down into two parts. Let's continue: 6. You Will Have To Skip Your Favorite Foods © Getty Images That extra bite of food, that piece of cake when a co-worker is celebrating their birthday, that lazy office Friday afternoon when everyone decides to order pizza, you will have to give it a skip. Yes, that will become all the more non-negotiable as you get leaner and leaner. Two main reasons for that are because these foods are high in energy density and rich in calories. Another one is that you will not be able to stop at a small serving size. 7. Hunger Will Be A Constant As you diet further and further, your leptin aka the satiety hormone goes for a toss. Meaning, you won't feel full on eating food very easily. To add to this misery, ghrelin aka the hunger hormone will shoot up keeping the feeling of void and hunger a constant. Your food will not fill you up and your body will signal that you are hunger. Like I told in the previous part, this is because your body wants you to survive for longer and hence storing body fat is a priority. 8. Your Sleep Cycles Will Get Disturbed © Getty Images As you are constantly hungry, irritable, low on energy; your sleep cycles are likely to get affected by this as well. Disturbed sleeping pattern and hours of constant sleep being reduced as the weeks go on are a common occurrence even for athletes doing a contest prep under the best of the coaches in the world. 9. Your Training Will Suffer As your energy levels and sleep cycles go for a toss, the immediate next thing to be affected by these is your training. You will observe that you need to rest longer between sets to recover, you would not be motivated to train, your energy levels in the gym will take a deep dive, and you would drop poundage on the bar as well. All these will happen which will add a tiny bit to the increasing frustration. 10. Stress © Getty Images The nine pointers that I have mentioned in this series all have one thing in common, they all add stress. Your stress levels will shoot up during the diet. And it may have some negative effects on your social, physical, as well as mental health. Your behaviour may take a turn for the worse and you may be moody and highly irritable during this phase. You may end up pissing others around you as for them, your abs are not really that important, to begin with.

The Captain America-Iron Man reunion was one of the biggest things every Marvel fan was waiting for in 'Avengers: Infinity War' but as we know, it never happened. Then, this particular meeting became the main focus of one of the 'special videos' from 'Avengers: Endgame' and everyone is still very emotional about it. This is all because of the events of 'Captain America: Civil War', of course. They both love each other but a disagreement over the Sokovia accords and obviously a brainwashed Bucky killing Tony's parents years ago tore them apart. In that last fight scene from the movie, the last time they both actually saw each other, Tony basically took away Cap's shield because “he didn't deserve it”. Well, even after so many years and Cap even calling Tony earth's best defender, Tony is not yet ready to give back the shield. The entire cast is doing the press tour for 'Endgame' right now and it's hilarious because it's just all of them having fun together, probably for the last time. RDJ has been very active on Instagram, sharing videos with all his Marvel BFFs and it's so pure. But, since it's RDJ and he has the best bromance with Chris Evans, he of course had to throw some shade. View this post on Instagram #flashback #day1 @avengers #press #tour #2019 Sorry Cap!

But, let's not forget that even Chris threw some shade at RDJ about this shield debate a few weeks ago. When RDJ tweeted this- BFFs let you share their umbrellas, right @ChrisEvans ? pic.twitter.com/1nJoJrFkZr — Robert Downey Jr (@RobertDowneyJr) March 13, 2019 The best Chris had the best reply.

Well, this banter is great and all but I seriously can't wait for this.

The biggest movie of month/year/decade is just a few days away and all the fans are so excited and hyped up for it, and so are the actors who are a part of Avengers and MCU. Everyone's gearing up for the movie in different ways, from coming up with different theories for 'Avengers: Endgame' to basically having meltdowns about the possible deaths. And some, very important fans are making parodies and making everyone laugh, maybe because this movie will for sure kill us. Jaze Phua turned the second trailer, the one that showed Tony back on earth and joining all the surviving Avengers in that hideous new white suit. Turning it into a 'Client Expectation vs Client Budget' meme, the low-budget video is actually very hilarious. It also reminds me of a low budget version of the 'Avengers: Infinity War' trailer from last year. There are so many great funny moments, I mean, look at the recreation of the plane! Literally everything going on in this gif. How they can - and should - rebuild Asgard. What is he even doing here? The chicken and obviously another creative moment. This is the moment that killed me, the fucking Nokia phone! They're doing Nebula dirty with that blue bag. This parody was so brilliant even Mark Ruffalo had to appreciate this, and yes, I agree, so much like the original, isn't it? Struggling to see the difference between these two #AvengersEndgame trailers ð¤ Brilliant work, @jazephua! pic.twitter.com/8d22vDdf4a — Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) April 8, 2019 Wholesome. THANK YOU @MarkRuffalo !!! â¤ï¸ Looking forward to see Professor Hulk!

Focusing Solely On Cardio For Fat Loss? Here's Why It Might Not Be A Good Thing
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Once you've decided and made up your mind that you are going to lose some fat this summer, a particularly tricky question is bound to pop up in your mind. Should You Do Cardio Or Lift More Weights To Burn More Body Fat? You will get lots of random information for this question with some weird logic attached to them. So, to solve this problem for you I am going to give you the correct answer with a logical explanation. Which Form Will Burn More Number Calories For You? The first thing you need to understand for fat loss is that you need to create a deficit in your daily calorie intake. This deficit can be created in two ways, first is to reduce the number of calorie intake and second is to increase the number of calories burned. Right now, I am just going to talk about the second one. To burn more calories you will have to work out for at least 5-6 days in a week. Now, what should you choose as a medium of exercise, cardio or weights? Let me tell you something that will help you to make the choice easier. You will burn more calories in a single session of cardio exercise as compared to a single session of weight training. via GIPHY Now I am sure that you would be thinking that cardio is a clear choice as it will help you to burn more calories per session. Well, here is what you missed. Though cardio will burn a number of calories for you inside the gym once you step outside it is weight training that will help you more. When you do resistance training, your body will start building muscles which will have a greater impact on your metabolic rate than cardio alone. Cardio Alone Could Create Problems Trying to lose weight by performing only cardio session may prove to be really harmful to you in the long run. People who try to reduce their weight quickly using cardio exercises are the ones who later on complain about having loose skin. They lose fat but their skin becomes loose and soggy. People who weight train are able to build muscles and thus their chances of having loose skin after fat loss becomes less. Secondly, long duration cardio sessions multiple times a week are going to cost you dear on the joints. People who perform long runs of treadmill almost every day complain about having knee and other joint pains. And thirdly, cardio alone could also lead to muscles loss and chronic fatigue. © Getty Images What Should You Do? You will find people out there who will bash cardio completely. They will tell you that stepping on a treadmill is like a sin inside the gym. Here's my perspective as a coach: Cardio can be included in your workout program if you plan it smartly. Your first priority should always be to train every muscle group with weights at least once a week. Now if you still have some time left that you can spend in the gym, you may include a couple of small cardio sessions every week. These sessions can be included to build up good endurance stamina as well. The way you like to balance it is your personal choice, but yes, resistance training should always be your priority.

6 Crucial Reasons Why One Should Not Ignore Dietary Fats
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
In the last couple of decades, fats have really got a bad reputation as a macronutrient. Even today, people think that the primary reason for their excess weight is the consumption of fat in their diet. Not only is this false, but it is important to know that fats are really essential for your body. Also, it's not just fat or any particular macronutrient which is responsible for weight gain and obesity. It is your total overall diet that has been messed up for a long time that has led to excessive fat accumulation in your body. Find out why fats are essential for your body and which type of fat should you consume in your diet. Here are the reasons why fats are important: 1. Fat Helps In Various Functions In Your Body Fat serves various important roles in our body that includes helping in the absorption of vitamins like A, D, E and K which are fat soluble vitamins. Apart from this, fat intake also helps us by filling up the adipose tissues in the body which provides insulation to the body by regulating the body temperature. Fats also play an important role in brain development and managing inflammation inside the body. 2. Fat Aids Deep Sleep Good sleep is the key to optimum health as well as muscle growth. When we say that obesity has increased due to poor lifestyle habits, it includes lack of sleep too. Low levels of fatty acids are associated with sleep obstructions. A lower level of DHA due to low intake of fatty acids is associated with lower production of a hormone called melatonin, which helps you fall asleep. With the increase in the consumption of fat, studies show that there is an increase in the quality of sleep. More sleep means better life quality and better muscle growth. 3. High Fat Diet Helps In Increasing Testosterone Levels Your Muscle growth is largely dependent on your testosterone levels. There have been various studies to establish the impact of high-fat diets on testosterone levels. These studies involved the consumption of saturated fat as well. The most relevant of them was where the subjects performed heavy weight training and complemented it with an increase of fat in their diet which showed a clear increase in their testosterone levels. It is important to note here that the testosterone levels increased when the high-fat diet was given to people who lifted weights. The results were different with the people who were just active and did not lift. For 'active' individuals, high fat diet did not have similar effects on their testosterone. 4. Fats Are Important For Your Skin's Health Fatty acids like EPA and DHA found in fatty foods perform important functions in maintaining excellent skin health. DHA is the structural component of the skin and is responsible for the good health of the cell membranes. Other ways in which fatty acids help your skin include; managing oil production in the skin, hydration of the skin, preventing premature ageing of the skin and preventing skin from sun damage. 5. Good Bone & Joint Health You're always at risk of injuring your bones and tendons if you lift heavy in the gym. Therefore it is important to keep a check on your bone health too. Studies show that an increase in fatty acids in the body can improve bone strength by increasing the amount of calcium on your bones. This may also help with reduced joint pains and increased grip strength. 6. Good Vs Bad Fat In general terms, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are the ones that are referred to as 'good' or 'healthy fats'. However, in the most common scenarios of daily life, we generally consume the 'unhealthy fats' that come in the form of trans-fatty acids in processed foods and hydrogenated fats from various cooking Oils. Science is of the opinion that for optimum health, you need to balance the consumption of mono, poly, and saturated fats evenly in the ration of 1:1. However, the current ratio is somewhere around 20:1. Thus, there is a need to consume more fats in the form of unprocessed and whole food sources of healthy fats.

Navy Officer Risking His Life To Save A Drowning Man Proves Some Superheroes Wear Caps & Not Capes
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
The whole world is gearing up to watch superheroes in action on the big screens, but looks like the nation has already found one in real life in an Indian Navy officer, Lt. Rahul Dalal. People say that an officer is 'never off-duty' and Lt. Rahul Dalal's bravery and courageous act just reiterates the same. Lt. Rahul Dalal was enjoying the evening of April 5 with his wife at Vypin beach, when he noticed a person struggling in water. He was unable to swim and was crying for help. © Facebook There was a huge crowd, but sadly no one was able to help him. So, without giving a second thought, Rahul jumped straight into the water and rescued him within half an hour. It wasn't easy at all, as both Rahul's and the drowning man's lives were at risk because of the strong under-current. "The officer also had to deal with the desperate and panicked victim who was pulling him down, putting both their lives in danger. The officer calmed the victim and made him hold onto his shoulders, after which he started swimming towards the beach. Lt Dalal mustered all his strength and managed to reach the shore with help of some locals," read the Facebook post shared by the official page of Indian Navy. It was further mentioned, "The victim, however, was not breathing and was unconscious. When his mouth was opened, it was found that some plants were choking his air passage. Lt Dalal cleared the passage and administered Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, whereupon the victim was revived." The drowning man, identified as Mr. Dileep Kumar from Aurangabad, was then rushed to a Government hospital where he was discharged after recuperation. Stories like these and people like Lt. Rahul Dalal are the real superheroes who restore our faith in humanity with their selfless efforts. -
We all might have a few things in common with Tom Holland, but there's one thing in common that no one would've ever imagined. Obviously, none of us knows what is going to happen in 'Avengers: Endgame', but turns out even Tom didn't know for the longest time! Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo are infamous for accidentally giving out spoilers and have gotten such a bad reputation because of it that even their movie directors don't trust them anymore. Mark's accidental revelations have also become one of the biggest running jokes for Marvel, with him even getting fake fired from 'MCU'. And, Tom is just Tom. View this post on Instagram Lmao same. #CommentsByCelebs A post shared by Comments By Celebs (@commentsbycelebs) on Jan 18, 2019 at 6:43pm PST This time, though, he has kept more of a low profile when it comes to talking about the movie and it might be because he didn't even know what was happening in the movie himself. Recently, Joe Russo was in Mumbai doing promotions for 'Avengers: Endgame' when he said, “Here's the thing. I'll take any questions about Avengers: Endgame but I'm not going to answer any question on the plot of Endgame! Three years of protecting the plot from Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo, so I'm not going to stand here and give away about the film. But I appreciate and admire your effort.” Then, he obviously expanded on how he kept the biggest movie of the decade under wraps. He said, “Tom Holland does not get the script! He gets his lines, and that's all, along with who is acting opposite him. Then we use very vague terms to describe what's happening in the scene.” Well, that sounds like it's working. Poor Tom, it's okay, we still love you and your big mouth. Last year, even Tom himself explained how he filmed the scenes. He said, “The Russo brothers are like, 'So, you're just standing here and you're fighting this guy, and just do whatever, and I'm like, 'OK, who am I fighting?' And they were like, 'Well, we can't tell you because it's a secret'. I'm like, 'OK, so what does he look like?' And they're like, 'Well, we can't tell you because that would give it away'.” Well, looks like Tom will find out what actually happens in the movie with us on 26th April.

PUBG Mobile Ban Has Finally Been Lifted But Let's Not Spend All Of Our Time Playing It
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) has been in hot waters for a while now in India. From being banned to people getting arrested for playing it while the ban was in force, there has been a lot of chit-chat about the game. But now after a lot of criticism on social media, the ban imposed by the state of Gujarat on PUBG Mobile has finally been lifted. The decision came straight from the police commissioner A K Singh, after taking feedback from the public. © PUBG Corp. “Today is the last day of the proclamation we had issued. Yesterday, this matter came up for review and we decided that as the exam session is over and the direct trigger to initiating the action is not valid any more, we will not renew the proclamation. We have also taken public reaction into account, said the commissioner.' The game, in case you don't know, was banned for being violent and for inciting violence. It was also leading to accidental deaths, kids stealing money to buy in-game items, and more. Of course, banning the game wasn't an ideal solution, but that's apparently what the majority of people wanted. © PUBG Corp. Well, now that the ban has been lifted, let's not get carried away and spend all of our time playing it. It's high time that we, the players of the game, give it some thought and take some responsibility of our actions. Unless you are looking to dive in professionally, gaming is just a form of entertainment. Too much of it is not good for both your physical as well as mental health. As it turns out, you may even end up getting a game banned or end up in a jail for playing too much. So, let's focus on creating a healthy gaming environment, and enjoy ourselves while we are at it. -

A few days ago, Netflix teased us with a post that something big is going to happen in 14 days. Netflix tweeted, "Calendar nikaal. Tareekh likh le. 14 din mein kuch bada hone wala hai." This one tweet was enough to send all the 'Sacred Games' fans in a frenzy and giving them sleepless nights wondering if season 2 of 'Sacred Games' is finally dropping. Calendar nikaal. Tareekh likh le. 14 din mein kuch bada hone wala hai. — Netflix India (@NetflixIndia) March 19, 2019 Today, just a few minutes ago, they dropped another major bomb on all the fans in a series of cryptic posts. If there's anything more powerful than "Sab marenge sirf Trivedi bachega", it is this announcement, "Bolo 'Aham Brahmasmi.' 6 din mein sab kuch dikhayi dene lagega." © Netflix If you look closely, you might realise that there's a major hint hidden in the post, about the second season that all Gaitonde fans are desperately waiting for. There are four pictures and each one have titles like Bidalah-A-Gita, Katham Asti, Antara Mahavana and Unagamam. So MAYBE, there will only be four episodes in the season, but we aren't sure about it. View this post on Instagram Bolo 'Aham Brahmasmi.' 6 din mein sab kuch dikhayi dene lagega. A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) on Mar 26, 2019 at 10:31pm PDT But, you know what else is coming in 6 days...April 1 which is April Fool's Day. So, we hope all this hype does not turn into a prank that no one saw coming. We'll only get to know all this after 6 days, when they drop more details about the season or the whole season. All these cryptic posts and our increasing excitement make us wonder that "Kabhi Kabhi lagta hai Netflix hi bhagwan hai."

Meet The Smith Machine - The Smart Workout Equipment Most Gym-Goers Are Not Using
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
There are three types of 'gym bros': 1. Who never work on their legs 2. Who workout their legs but have questionable form. 3. Who just squat and call those who use the smith machine 'idiots'. First things first, the legs are very important if your goal is strength and looking good. Legs essentially carry your body weight and are very functional. It is as important to work on them as your biceps. Now, many bros think the smith machine is a waste of time because it removes the need for muscles that stabilize the body. Well, that's not true. The Smith machine can easily cover your entire lower body i.e. quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves. If you do not work on your legs and do not enjoy free weight exercises, do this workout pattern for a minimum of 12 weeks. It will increase your lower body strength if you be consistent. 1) Smith Machine Close Stance Squats You often don't perform a full range of motion when doing the traditional back squats, so this a great tool for you to do deep squats with proper complete reps. Set your feet inwards to your shoulder level and squat. 2) Smith Machine Romanian Deadlift Simply do this exercise, hip hinge and stretch your hamstrings. One of the ideal movements to grow your hamstring strength. Start with a light to moderate weight. 3) Smith Machine Hip Thrusts A strong butt can help you to squat more weights and can you give you an aesthetic look if your goal is to improve your body composition. In scientific studies, the hip thrusts have been shown the ideal exercise to grow your glute strength and force, when compared squats. Here is a tip: Don't arch your back when thrusting, keep your back neutral and don't hyperextend. 4) Smith Machine Standing Calf Raise The smith machine can be a helpful tool for your calves as it is easy to apply progressive overload here which over time can grow your calves. Here is a sample workout plan: Smith Machine Squats - 3 sets of 6-8 reps Smith Machine Romanian Deadlifts - 3 sets of 8-12 reps Smith Machine Hip Thrusts- 3 sets of 8-12 reps Smith Machine Calf Raises- 3 sets of 12-15+ reps I am pretty sure you will enjoy this workout and do it every time you have a lower body session.

Conor Mcgregor Announces His Retirement For The Second Time But Twitter Is Not Buying It
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Let's begin with two things: 1. As we all know, fake news is one of the best ways to grab people's attention. 2. Also, Conor McGregor just announced his retirement for a second time, hours after talking of his next fight in July. Now, how are these two sentences related, you ask? Rumour has it that this announcement is another publicity stunt from the extravagant UFC fighter, who is notorious for his outside-of-the-ring statements. Hey guys quick announcement, I've decided to retire from the sport formally known as “Mixed Martial Art” today. I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition. I now join my former partners on this venture, already in retirement. Proper Pina Coladas on me fellas! — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) March 26, 2019 The Irishman announced, on social media, about his retirement from mixed martial arts. He called this news a 'quick announcement'. But this news does not seem that easy to digest as the 30-year-old, hours before this announcement, discussed on “The Tonight's Show with Jimmy Fallon” details about his future bouts. “We're in talks for July. There's a lot of politics going on, it's a mad game, the fight game,” he said. “To my fans, I am in shape and I am ready. There are many opponents, in reality I can pick who I please.” © AP Adding to which he said, “I don't necessarily need to fight. I am set for life, my family is set for life. We are good, but I am eager to fight. We will see what happens, but I am just staying ready.” Having been away from the octagon since his loss to Khabib Nurmagomdeov, the UFC lightweight champion, Mcgregor was serving a six-month ban for the post-match brawl that ensued with the Russian and his contingent. Soon after his tweet, sports enthusiasts around the world sarcastically reacted to his announcement calling it fake and a bait to grab attention. We haven't yet forgotten when, in April 2016, Mcgregor had pulled off a similar stunt after not being awarded a rematch with Nate Diaz. And now, quitting at a time when he is perfectly in shape, seems a bit off to all UFC fans around the world.

Having Not Played A Single ODI For India In 2 Yrs, Ashwin's Frustration May Finally Be Showing
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
With the sudden influx of immense talent into first class and mainstream cricket for Team India, even being great seems to be inadequate in order to become a member of the Men in Blue. The position requires brilliance beyond measure and with the margin of error negligible. That's a 5-wkt haul for @yuzi_chahal ðð#AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/GReuwxIjIu — BCCI (@BCCI) January 18, 2019 While Yuzvendra Chahal and chinaman Kuldeep Yadav have been well settled in the main team, players like Ravindra Jadeja, who have staggered just a little in the recent past, have been turned a blind eye towards by the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) selectors, it is highly disappointing to see a great cricketer like Ravichandran Ashwin waste his prime years sitting at home, waiting by the telephone, just hoping to get a call for the next ODI series. Having not played a single ODI game with Virat Kohli and the rest of the team since 30th June 2017 against the Windies at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, the last time Ashwin was seen representing India was on 6th December 2018 in the first of five Test-game series against Tim Paine's Australian cricket team at Adelaide Oval. Still on the 6th position in ICC rankings for all-rounders in Test cricket format, the 32-year-old's inability to stay fit has caused him his berth in the Indian cricket team and may finally have led to him losing it for good. Time and again, Ashwin has made various remarks over his growing vexation with not getting a call from the Indian selectors. "It entirely depends on what other people (team management and selectors) perceive of my cricket. It's definitely not in my control," Ashiwin had said in a press conference just days after being axed from the ODI roster in July last year. The competition for every single spot on India's ICC World Cup 2019 roster is not so easy, to say the least and despite Ashwin coming out in public and openly showing his desire to play on the biggest stage of the cricketing world dressed in the blue jersey, he might just miss out on the opportunity to play for his country this year. "There is competition in terms of Chahal and Kuldeep who have done incredibly well in the last few months. Massive credit to them. But I do feel there will be a time for me at some stage. Because I didn't go out on account of bad performances," a hopeful Ashwin had said on Salaam Cricket 2018. "I'm always hopeful of what I can achieve in any given game. Like most of the others I believe I can crack a game open with the way I bowl because I'm a very brave bowler. Keeping all these things in mind, World Cup is something which every cricketer wants to play and I do want to play it," Ashwin said. However, with less than two and a half months left for the World Cup, no hints have been dropped by the BCCI over Ashwin's spot in the team. After waiting for two years to return to the team, the frustration may finally have broken Ashwin. His so called “instinctive decision” to 'mankad' English batsman Jos Buttler in the IPL match between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royal therefore seems to be nothing more than an agitated cry for attention. Ashwin waited for him to get out of the crease. It is obvious for batsman to consider the ball is been released at that given moment when he completed the bowling stride.
