Seriously man, how does Anil Kapoor manage to look so young, day and day out? Just take a look at his contemporaries, and you’ll see how at times it seems that the man hasn’t aged a single day ever since he turned 35. © Instagram/anilskapoor Just a few weeks ago, he posted a few pictures on Instagram, showing his biceps off, which went viral on the Internet. Honestly, it wouldn’t be farfetched to say that he definitely put most 30-year-old men to shame. © Instagram/anilskapoor And if that wasn’t enough, he is now seen to be working out at a beach in Alibaug. View this post on InstagramDuring the lockdown I was dreaming about the beach...dreaming of escaping...finally I get to the beach and my trainer @marcyogimead, makes me sprint...fitness always comes first...It’s not about the location but about the dedication... 📸 @marcyogimeadA post shared by (@anilskapoor) Well, now, he has dropped a rather tasteful masterclass on how to pose for and take elegant, but drool-worthy shirtless photos. © Instagram/anilskapoor First of all, there is the whole manscaping bit. Although we strongly believe that men ought to accept their body hair as it is, we also support it, if someone chooses to get rid of it, as long as it is done in a healthy manner. Then there is the backdrop of the photos. A clean, sandy beach, without any people or pesky hawkers in the background, with a part of the sea in the background, making waves, is just perfect. © Instagram/anilskapoor And then, of course, you ought to have the obligatory photograph, inside the pool. Now, it may seem to be a cliche, at times if you pose in a very cheesy way, it is, but this is far better than those shirtless selfies people click at the gym, trying to pop a vein. © Instagram/anilskapoor Say what you will about the man, but it seems like he has an endless supply of the elixir of youth. In all seriousness though, if we manage to look this good, and are somehow this fit when we cross 60, it will be nothing short of a miracle. View the full article -

5 Feel-Good Shows That’ll Take Your Mind Off The ‘Stuck At Home Year’ Feeling
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
There is no doubt that this year has been terrible for most of us. From figuring out how we get stuck at home to waiting for the world to come up with a vaccine- that’s all we have done so far this year! Also, initially, we have watched all sorts of movies and web series that were remotely related to a virus spreading across the world or the human race seeing the end of the world. While most of us have gone insane and can’t deal with the words such as virus, pandemic, apocalypse, and quarantine, we have a list of feel-good TV shows that’ll definitely take your mind off the 'stuck at the home' that this year 2020 has given - Brooklyn Nine-Nine This is the best cop-comedy blast you’ll ever come across. The show might take a few episodes for you to like it but once you start liking it- there’s no going back. Andy Samberg and his power-packed performance will definitely take your mind off anything that you’re thinking. The good place The show revolves around the story of a woman who mistakenly finds herself in heaven despite living a self-centered life. She has not done a single right thing all her life but ends up in heaven and now she is trying to do everything to stay in heaven and not go to the bad place. Parks and Recreation This show will definitely lift your spirit as Leslie Knope’s bubbly nature can light up the darkest days. Not only her, the whole cast is great and will keep you laughing throughout the show. The Mindy Project The series revolves around the life of an obstetrician/ gynecologist who tries to balance her personal and professional life. Her life is a mess and she has a bunch of quirky co-workers in a small medical practice in New York City. New Girl The show has a stellar star-cast and everyone has incredible comic timing. The show is going to make your life better and if you are having a lazy Sunday, this is the one show that you should start watching today. View the full article -
Who would've thought that we would spend over seven months and counting, just working from home. For some of us, it is likely that we would be working from home till March next year or even longer. While that may be a comforting thought for some, it does have consequences as well. To begin with, it means that no one is going to be touching their formal wardrobe for at least another 4-5months. Instead more people will wear PJs or shorts during a zoom call and not let anyone know while at it. An interesting thing that you might have noticed is the fact that once you start wearing your PJs regularly, they wear off quickly. Something that never happened before, when we only wore nightwear in the night time. As these definitions change this year, loungewear is quickly becoming a priority for a lot of people this year. If you're someone who is looking to invest in loungewear, here are some options you should definitely look at. 1. Lively Quirky PrintsPJs have somehow always been synonymous with quirky prints. We're talking about anything and everything that you love. From your favourite meal (shoutout to pepperoni pizza) to that show you watched last night curled up in your bed. You can get loungewear that essentially represents your personality, there is just so much to choose from! __ECOMPRODUCT__718__ __ECOMPRODUCT__719__ __ECOMPRODUCT__452__ __ECOMPRODUCT__720__ __ECOMPRODUCT__721__ __ECOMPRODUCT__722__ 2. Solids For The WinThere is something about solid silhouettes that is just so calming. Here, we would recommend to move away from traditional solids and choose more unique colours that easily brighten up your day as soon you slip into your loungewear. We suggest: __ECOMPRODUCT__723__ __ECOMPRODUCT__724__ __ECOMPRODUCT__725__ __ECOMPRODUCT__726__ __ECOMPRODUCT__727__ 3. Go OldschoolRemember the night suit you used to wear as a child? While one option for Indian parents was to make old t-shirts and shorts your night suit, another included specially bought sets with stripes or old school prints like leaves and trees. Do you remember those prints? There is no harm in going back to those prints if they remind you of your blissful childhood. __ECOMPRODUCT__728__ __ECOMPRODUCT__729__ __ECOMPRODUCT__730__ __ECOMPRODUCT__731__ __ECOMPRODUCT__732__ View the full article

I don't think I've ever seen a bigger controversy because of one ad, but this is what the country has come to now, I guess. When #BoycottTanishq started trending yesterday, it became one of the most hateful Twitter trends in recent times and looks like the controversy isn't going to die down anytime soon. Side note - was anyone else disappointed that the trend wasn't referring to Tanishk Bagchi? Only me? Okay. Basically, the problem people had with the jewellery ad was that, apparently, it promotes 'love jihad' as it showed a Muslim family organizing a godh bharayi ceremony for their bahu who is Hindu. So Hindutva bigots have called for a boycott of @TanishqJewelry for highlighting Hindu-Muslim unity through this beautiful ad. If Hindu-Muslim “ekatvam” irks them so much, why don’t they boycott the longest surviving symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity in the world -- India? pic.twitter.com/cV0LpWzjda — Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) October 13, 2020 As one would expect, the ad blew up and people, who were never planning on buying jewellery from Tanishq, came out to boycott the brand and it spiralled way out of control. After all the hate and trolling, Tanishq took down the ad and it was at that point, Ratan Tata's name was dragged into this entire thing. A quick Google search shows that Tanishq's parent company is promoted by the Tata Group in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation. The plot thickens. ok Ratan tata sir is respected , no doubt, and thats why we don't want this ad! If this ad was of Sky Light Realty who is owned by robert vadara, we dont care at all. https://t.co/BnevNGA31d — Movie Mango ® (@Go_Movie_Mango) October 12, 2020 From what I've gathered, people are dragging Ratan Tata for making that ad in the first place and he's also getting called out for not taking a stand and instead, taking down the ad. Ratan Tata and the case of the missing spine — Rana Ayyub (@RanaAyyub) October 13, 2020 The funniest thing is that people really think Ratan Tata is personally handling everything happening in the marketing of a company that he doesn't even fully have control over. It's a confusing narrative. Speaking of Tanishq, which is a Tata undertaking, didn't Ratan Tata turn out to be one of the biggest donors of bjp? Lol and they are making such ads as if they actually give two hoots abt anything and on top of it they now withdrew the ad to give sanghis a sense of power. — Hoopoe (@akks_13) October 13, 2020 Hmm. Tanishq has pulled down the Ad! Ratan Tata should explain us... What Happened?? — Mahua (@mahuadey20) October 13, 2020 Some people have come to his rescue. Ratan Tata is one of the most respected & non controversial human beings in India & worldwide. He has actually led a dignified life. He neither put the #Tanishq ad on air nor asked to pull it down. Disrespecting Rattan Tata for an Ad, just shows how small minded people are. https://t.co/o8tQNulDkN — Mansi Koul (@mansikoul) October 13, 2020 And, more people think he had nothing to apologize for in the first place. oh my god bhakts are asking ratan tata to spologize on behalf of tanishq for *drumroll* promoting communal peace, I really have no words rn — sea⁷ (@vantaereels) October 13, 2020 Uhhh. Mr Ratan Tata, TATA Group has been instrumental in every innovation in India so far. As an Indian, I will be forever indebted for that. But Tanishq's ad has hurt. I urge you to remove this ad I don't think the TATA group should get involved in racial issues#TanishqJewelry pic.twitter.com/XqzjqdBr0J — Abhishek Takale (@takale_abhishek) October 13, 2020 Hmm. This isn't only about Ratan Tata caving in but about us aND what future we are enabling in our country. Where we don't want yo show communal harmony. — Rana Safvi رعنا राना (@iamrana) October 13, 2020 People are selective about their outrage. Shut-up..tanishq is enough..Ratan Tata deserves way more respect than he gets now — Slayer (@Pranaav4567) October 13, 2020 I'm not sure what's going on here. Shame!! Mr. Ratan Tata. Why u r promoting such high level of stupidity? Why why only a Hindu woman supposed to marry in a muslim family? If u have guts, make a reverse ad where Muslim Girl is marrying Hindu boy, I challenge you.. u can't do it...#bycotttanishq — 🕉️🇮🇳 (@bht_ind) October 11, 2020 View the full article

We are amid a pandemic and unhealthy habits make a person more susceptible to falling sick. Smoking is one such bad habit that is unhealthy at any given point in time, be it in between a pandemic or otherwise. In a new move to phase out smoking, the Australian government is making people buy cigarettes with a prescription or at a pharmacy. © BCCL Now, eradication of cigarette smoking from Australia is the focus of a new University of Queensland and National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC)-funded, $3 million Centre of Research Excellence. Associate Professor Coral Gartner, CREATE director said, "Australia is a global tobacco control leader and has been at the cutting edge of many new policies.” "An effective tobacco endgame strategy should accelerate the decline in smoking prevalence while assisting governments, retailers, and people who smoke. to transition to a smoke-free society,” he added. © BCCL The center will also explore how to formulate the idea into reality and what the timeframe of the same should be. They will also focus on the best way to eliminate smoking disparities and stop children’s exposure to second-hand smoking. The strategies will also include reducing the number of tobacco retailers in the country and also restricting sales to only a limited number of suppliers. Also, the cigarettes won’t be sold to people born after a certain year. © BCCL The Australian government has the goal of reducing smoking prevalence to 10% by 2025 and at the moment around 2.3 million people smoke tobacco daily in Australia-less than 15 percent of the adult population. Smoking also causes almost one in seven deaths. View the full article

Even though the Galaxy Z Fold 2 gets a respectable nod from critics for being one of the best foldable phones out there, there's just no denying that a lot of people have concerns with its durability. It's a foldable phone, after all. We can't expect it to be as durable as our normal smartphones. However, a durability test by YouTuber 'JerryRigEverything' suggests that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is quite durable. He even claims that its hinge lives up to Samsung’s claim that it’s sturdier than the one on the original Galaxy Fold. Here, check out the video - As you can see, he started off with his normal scratch test on the device, following which he decided to give it a dust bath. Yes, he legit poured dust on the phone to see if it survives. You can see that the hinge seems to be working fine even after the bath and so does the fingerprint scanner. Obviously, none of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 users are going to have so much sand/dust on them or leave their device unattended like that. But it's an interesting test nonetheless and it shows that Samsung has truly improved the quality standards to make the phone more durable. View the full article

2020 already feels like an eternity, right? Life has been hard for everyone this year, but if you're a movie buff - it's likely that you've been at your wit's end by now. With theatres being shut and productions being halted, there hasn't been a worse year for cinema worldwide, in a long time. However, let us try to get rid of this pain by shifting our attention to 11 upcoming movies that will take us all right back to our childhood. 1. Jurassic World 3: Dominion © Amblin Entertainment Jurassic World: Dominion is the sequel to the 2018 film Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. It is the sixth film in the Jurassic Park franchise and will be the final film in the Jurassic World trilogy. The film is scheduled for theatrical release on June 11, 2021, by Universal Pictures. 2. Cruella © Walt Disney Based on the character Cruella de Vil introduced in Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians, and Walt Disney's 1961 animated film One Hundred and One Dalmatians, the film will star Emma Stone as the titular character. Cruella is scheduled to be released on May 28, 2021 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. 3. Avatar 2 © 20th Century Studios Even though Avatar is relatively new as compared to some of the other movies in the list, it did take us to a stunning fantasy land and gave us the first ever experience of a 3D film. It was epic in every way imaginable, so naturally we can't wait for the sequel. 4. Hotel Transylvania 4 © Sony Pictures The 4th instalment of this wonderfully weird horror comedy franchise, featuring a celebrated ensemble cast, is set to be released on August 6, 2021. 5. Tomb Raider 2 © Warner Bros Who wasn't fascinated by Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft? The games became massively popular as well, when video games had just about started gaining popularity in India. It isn't easy filling up Jolie's shoes as the iconic character, but we sure can't wait to see what Alicia Vikander brings to the table. According to the last update, the film is supposed to release on 19th March, 2021. 6. Minions 2: The Rise Of Gru © Universal Pictures A sequel to Minions (2015), and spin-off prequel to the main Despicable Me film series, Minions: The Rise of Gru was originally scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on July 3, 2020 by Universal Pictures, but it was delayed to July 2, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 7. Tom & Jerry © Tom & Jerry Wiki Fandom Probably the most exciting one of the lot, Tom and Jerry is set to be released on March 5, 2021, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It will mark the first theatrically released film to feature the Tom and Jerry characters since the release of Tom and Jerry: The Movie in 1992. 8. Godzilla Vs Kong © Legendary Pictures Expected to be the ultimate monster action flick, Godzilla Vs. Kong is a sequel to Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Kong: Skull Island. The film is also the 36th film in the Godzilla franchise, and the 12th film in the King Kong franchise. The movie is scheduled to be released on May 21, 2021, after being delayed from a November 2020 release date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 9. Mortal Kombat © New Line Cinema Based on the video game franchise of the same name, and a reboot to the Mortal Kombat film series following the critical and commercial failure of the 1997 film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, this is another attempt at the theatrical success of everyone's favourite combat game from the '90s. 10. Jungle Cruise © IMDB Based on Walt Disney's theme park attraction of the same name, the film stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. Feels like the umpteenth action adventure flick starring The Rock, we know, but somehow they're always entertaining, aren't they? Jungle Cruise is scheduled to be released on July 30, 2021 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. 11. The Matrix 4 © Twitter - MatrixFC The fourth installment in The Matrix franchise, The Matrix 4 is co-written and directed by Lana Wachowski, who had co-directed and co-written the previous three films with her sister Lilly. Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Lambert Wilson reprise their roles from previous films in the series. The film is scheduled to be released on April 1, 2022. We can't contain our excitement for sure, can you? View the full article

The 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League has had a bitter-sweet inception in the United Arab Emirates earlier this month. Even though for the third time in its history the league is taking place outside India, fans are happy to see their favorite cricketers in action once again. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and under the given circumstances, there is no doubt that the BCCI and the league’s managerial body are doing their best to provide us with the most entertaining month and a half of fast paced cricket. However, after watching the perennially loud, action-packed and colourful league for the last 12 years, a few things have made the IPL viewing experience this season rather uncanny: 1. No Fans And CheerleadersNo Cheerleaders ..what IPL?? — Mahua (@mahuadey20) September 19, 2020 Even when the league went to UAE the first time or when they were in South Africa, no match went by with empty seats. Fans with face paint on, massive banners and cardboard signs, and just the overall ambience of the crowd added life to the matches. To not be able to see more than a handful of people in the stands and cheerleaders helping their fans celebrate better is disheartening and definitely leaves a sour taste in the mouth. 2. Annoying RecordingsPre recorded fans voice should be removed it's annoying and feels so fake as that we see the empty stadium but this voice feels so annoying .@IPL @ChennaiIPL @mipaltan https://t.co/pTrvm7Lo9m — Divya_Dharshini15 (@DDharshini15) September 19, 2020 While other leagues have also added recordings from previous matches, the fake-fan noises IPL uses already become a little annoying. One of the reasons is the lack of genuine sound effects. Even if the batsman sends the ball to a fielder standing inside the circle and takes a single, the background noise is magnified to such an extent as if the player has hit a massive six. At first it used to be funny but now it just feels silly. 3. No-Ball Siren@IPL @Dream11IPLT20 @StarSportsIndia can you fix this? Watching IPL this year is more like watching video game on TV. No player noise, no bat/ball noise. Too much cheers music !! — Navjot Singh (@navi4143) September 20, 2020 When the no-ball siren buzzed for the first time, it even startled the batsmen and the on-field umpire. The siren is awfully loud and if you are watching the match with your headphones on, you can definitely go deaf. On the other hand, while the no-ball siren is supposed to be there to make the lives of the umpires more easy and help them focus better on the other aspects of the game, they have failed to become any more efficient. So, what’s the point of the siren, anyway? 4. Post Match PresentationMS Dhoni had some nice words to say in the post-match presentation #IPL2020#MIvCSKpic.twitter.com/Dt2mA15hOs — CricXtasy (@CricXtasy) September 19, 2020 To see the ‘Man of the Match’ pick up his own trophy and cheque and stand awkwardly in front of cameras for pictures is disappointingly weird. Then there is the interview in which the player and the interviewer need to stand so far away that they need two separate cameras to cover both of them. It almost feels as if they are talking to walls. To have someone like Harsha Bhogle personally interview the skippers and the Man of the Match, ask them about their on-field experience, and have a heart-to-heart conversation with them is hugely missed. 5. Quarantine Taking A Toll On Players#KKRvMI | @DineshKarthik defends @patcummins30 after the bowler leaks runs in the team’s first match of #IPL2020. Catch more: https://t.co/cgYJiRRLtl pic.twitter.com/FxkyIyEwK6 — The Quint (@TheQuint) September 24, 2020 During other seasons, players from all over the world fly down to India well ahead of the opening match day and spend a lot of time getting used to the climate, the fields and playing with their teammates. This year, however, due to the quarantine period, the players haven’t had the chance to familiarise themselves with the UAE stadiums and it has had a negative impact on many of them, including Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kolkata Knight Riders’ most expensive buy this season, Pat Cummins.
