    As summers creep up slowly, we can feel the heavy heat wave make its way through in different parts of the world. In India itself, the heat is excruciating with heavy droughts affecting most northern regions and killing crops and drying up water bodies. Apart from that, the heat is surely having an adverse effect on humans and animals alike and we're wondering when the monsoons are going to hit us. © Pinterest But, even though we're miserably bearing this heat, some parts of the world are far worse, when it comes to dealing with the sun. Incidentally, a man from Kuwait died from the strong heat wave that has engulfed the country. He suffered a heatstroke and passed away, with his tools next to his body. The forensic reports stated an overexposure to the sun. And this happened because Kuwait recorded its hottest day in the month and you won't believe how far the temperature rose. Kuwait recorded its highest temperature so far, which was also the hottest day in the world on the 8th of June, 2019. The maximum temperature recorded was 52.2 degrees Celsius, in the shadows and 63 degrees Celsius, under direct sunlight, as reported by Gulf News. The same day, Saudi Arabia recorded a maximum temperature of 55 degrees Celsius at Al Majmaah, during noon. That is by far the hottest day recorded in the history of weather updates, and here we are complaining about a mere 43 degrees Celsius! © Guld News Kuwait summers are largely unpredictable and the meteorologists have predicted that maximum temperature could reach up to 68 degrees Celsius in July. India, by far has been experiencing its own climatic divide. While the southern regions are experiencing monsoon, the northern parts are going through immense heat. The highest temperature recorded yet was 48.9 degrees Celsius in Charu, a city in Rajasthan.

    When most eyes were glued to the convoy of celebrities and other prominent personalities attenting PM Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony, there was one man who ditched the car and chose to ride his bicycle to the Rashtrapati Bhawan. © Twitter The man we're talking about is the 47-year-old Mansukh Lal Mandaviya, the former minister of State in charge of Road Transport, Highways, Shipping, Chemicals and Fertilisers. Mandaviya, who is a Rajya Sabha member from Gujarat, was sworn in as a union minister in the new cabinet for the second time. © Twitter Apparently, riding a bicycle to Parliament is an unfamiliar sight for people around Mandaviya. In the past five years too, he has always cycled his way to the Parliament and calls it his "passion, not fashion." Reportedly, Mandaviya said "For me it is not a fashion to go on a bicycle, it is my passion. I had always gone to the Parliament on a bicycle." And @mansukhmandviya entered the Rashtrapati Bhawan riding a bicycle. Took oath into PM @narendramodi Government. pic.twitter.com/NqmLEypJOR — Aditya Raj Kaul (@AdityaRajKaul) May 30, 2019 He further said, "It is eco-friendly, it saves fuel and keeps you physically healthy." People are super impressed with Mandaviya's eco-friendly ways. I remember seeing his bicycle parked in Parliament and that day my faith was restored in our leaders. ð — Sanya Dhillon (@DhillonSanya) May 30, 2019 That's really awesome! — ããã¡ãã Rawat ð± (@TrueGodKakarot) May 31, 2019 Green MP ðâï¸ð — Satyam Dubey (@satyam5797) May 30, 2019 Awesome!

    Whether it's a 10-km ride to your office or a 1000-km ride to Ladakh, if you have a high-end good looking bike, it doesn't hurt to match by cleaning up well. Now, here's the thing: buying the right accessories not only makes you look the part of a pro-rider but also equips you with the comfort to battle the slowest of jams, the roughest of terrains, and the harshest of weathers. Here's your definitive guide to buying accessories that will make heads turn on the highway 1. Helmets © Getty Images At the cost of sounding like your friendly local traffic cop, wearing a helmet while riding is not an option. What is an option, however, is looking good in that protective gear you need. Choosing the right helmet can help you not only make your ride safe and comfortable but can turn heads and in a good way! The trick is to get the colour right; instead of a flashy yellow helmet, go for sturdy earth tones with your Royal Enfield. It helps to get the style right too. Usually heavy bikes are to be accompanied by open face helmets while street-style helmets go better with sport-bikes. It is always advisable to buy from official retailers that guarantee the right style, comfort, and quality. 2. Jackets © Getty Images Bike jackets can be either leather or fabric-based. While leather helps you look the way you'd expect a classic “biker” to look, high-quality fabrics are able to resist abrasion as strongly as leather, and new materials are equipped with Gore-Tex or other water-resistant membranes capable of keeping you dry in bad weather. Fabric-based jackets are affordable as well. Again, it is essential to get the right colour. The idea is to keep it classy, and not flashy at the same time. 3. Pants © Getty Images Contrary to popular belief, regular jeans will not protect you in an accident. It is always advisable to buy proper riding pants that offer the right comfort and protection. Much like jackets, pants can be either leather or fabric based. They should fit like a glove, but at the same time should be comfortable as well. Always test your pants out on a bike, what might work well standing, might not work great on a 7-hour road trip. 4. Gloves © Getty Images Bike gloves should fully cover your fingers, palm, and your wrists. Gloves should reach over or under your jacket leaving no skin exposed. Black is the safe colour here, but textured highlights can provide the right amount of flash in your otherwise overall classy look. What is most important is that the gloves fit well and provide you with enough strength to not only handle well but survive the unfortunate fall with zero scratches.

    Celebrities and Instagram fitness influencers are guilty of selling a lot of shit to you that you do not really need. Every other day, you will find them endorsing a new product or a supplement that promises to magically build muscle, make you lose fat or enhance your performance. One such product that has gained wide popularity is the 'high-altitude' training mask. It's a questionable-looking mask that you may have seen on hipsters in your gym, mostly while running like bunnies on the treadmill, or worse during lifting weights. These masks claim to improve your aerobic capacity by increasing Vo2 max output during exercise. How does it do that? By making lesser oxygen available forcing your body to give greater output. © Getty Images A study was done and published in the International Journal of Sports Sciences where they took two test groups and made them perform HIIT workout. One of the groups wore the mask and another did not wear the mask. At the end of the study, all the subjects had an improved Vo2 max but the improvements between the two groups were not that different. The study concluded that HIIT as a training pattern is efficient in increasing Vo2 max, the mask is simply useless. The notion of lesser oxygen available making your body give greater output is similar to saying that the lesser fuel you put in the tank of your car, the higher the mileage would be. And the argument that it gives your body a low-oxygen performance capability, the fundamentals behind the thought in itself is misled. This is because at higher altitudes the oxygen in the air itself is lesser. This by default makes your body adapt to the specific demands. When you wear an altitude mask, the oxygen in the air does not change. It just reduces the amount of oxygen that you can take it by putting a blocker between the air and your respiratory system. © Training Mask While doing low-intensity work, you can still easily get away with it but doing HIIT or hardcore training or lifting in the gym, this can have fatal consequences as well. A person can become unconscious due to lesser air being received during exercise and can injure himself. The training mask could even make you perform in a poor way due to interference with your breathing. Add heavy lifting to this insanity, which some people surprisingly do, you are cooking a recipe for disaster. If you really want to build higher endurance or say get better at utilizing oxygen, do two things: 1. Train for aerobic performance and adaptations. 2. Practice more breathing techniques that help you hold more air in your system when exercising. Want to get high altitude training adaptations? Go train at higher altitudes aka in the mountains. These high-altitude masks do nothing and may potentially harm you if you use it in the gym. Oh, the one advantage it has is that it will make a cool Instagram picture and make you look like Bane or Darth Vader inside the gym.

    Hunger is one of the main reasons people overeat and gain fat. While this is in the context of general eating, hunger pangs are all the more a problem when you are dieting for fat loss. Why is that? When you go on a diet, two of the main hormones related to hunger and satiety go for a toss. The hormone, being leptin, which plays a role in signalling satiety and ghrelin which signals hunger to your brain. © Getty Images When you diet, leptin goes down and ghrelin shoots up. Results? HANGER (hunger+anger)! So, here are five useful tricks that will help you manage hunger while dieting: 1. Drink More Water Studies have shown that drinking water 15 to 30 minutes before a meal reduces your food consumption considerably, especially for sweet or savoury food items which are usually high in calories. At times, we even confuse thirst with hunger. This makes us eat more when we are just thirsty and we increase our calorie intake by doing this. So, drink a glass of water 30 minutes before your meal. 2. Do Not Drink Your Calories Drinking your calories is the easiest way to finish off your daily calorie limit while not feeling full. Liquid calories, as we call them, are your worst enemies on a diet. Why? a. It is easier to drink a lot of them. b. It does not make you full, even one bit. So, if you are drinking normal sodas, juices, sugary teas or energy drinks, cut them out when dieting. 3. Eat More Protein Protein is considered the most satiating macronutrient. In studies comparing diets with different protein intakes, higher protein diets have shown higher dietary compliance and satisfaction compared to the lower protein counterparts. How much protein should you consume during a fat-loss phase? 1.8 to 2.3 grams per kilogram of body weight. 4. Increase Your Fibre Intake Fibre is another thing to consider if you are struggling with hunger pangs during a diet. Fibre is usually a high-volume, low-calorie food. Meaning, fibre-rich foods are low in calories for a relatively huge quantity. And it slows down digestion and delays gastric emptying. So, if you have the feeling of emptiness even after eating food, including some more fibrous carbohydrates by eliminating starchy carbohydrates might just do the trick. 5. Moderate Your Junk Food Consumption © Getty Images Though I am a thorough proponent of flexible dieting, I am also a huge proponent of moderation. Just because your calories play a major role in determining your weight loss or weight gain, does not mean you eat a majority of junk food while losing weight. Yes, it is possible to even eat exclusively junk and lose weight if you keep your calories under check but is it a wise thing to do? Absolutely not! The reason being that these junk food options are high-calorie low-volume food options making you eat very less food and finish off your calorie targets for the day. This hunger will ultimately make you eat more calories defeating the entire process. Majority of the times, keep your foods coming from unprocessed, nutrient-dense, whole foods and occasionally indulge in the foods you love for better adherence and ultimately results.

    **SPOILER ALERT** With less than four days to go for probably the biggest movie of the decade, speculations and wild theories have been making headlines day in and out. While some ideas have a realistic feel to them, others are straight out bizarre and make no sense whatsoever. And some of the restless Marvel Cinematic Universe fans could not resist the temptation to watch the three-minute long movie footage that was leaked by one of the Marvel Studios employees last week. But not us. Not us. So, while keeping in mind our loyalty towards the Marvel Comics and the Cinematic Universe, here are five things that you must expect when you watch 'Avengers: Endgame'. Two Fights Against Thanos Based on the millions of trailers put out by the YouTube channel of Marvel Studios, it is pretty much evident that in the 3 hour 2 minute of screen time, the audience will get to watch two wars being carried out Captain America and the rest of the earth's mightiest heroes. While the first one will be unplanned, emotional and hurried, the second would clearly follow a well structured plan. Someone Gets Badly Injured In The First Half Of The Movie Taking an educated guess here but we believe with the wounds of losing one half of the universe with Thanos quick snap, the Avengers try to take him down with the help of Captain Marvel who believe she can take him on, especially when her powers basically come from one of the Infinity Stones. But underestimating the Mad Titan leads the team to lose an integral part of themselves, someone who gets thrashed and absolutely dominated by Thanos just like Hulk was in the initial moments of Infinity War. Unable to carry on fighting, they must be taken back to the Avengers headquarters. Time Lapse Based on the length and colour of Natasha Romanoff's hair, it is pretty much obvious that the events of Endgame will span between two to ten months during which a lot of new developments take place, previously misplaced characters return home and new plans to eliminate Thanos are thought about. Somebody Dies (For Good) As the title suggests, 'Endgame' refers to a Chess move in which the player must sacrifice one of his most crucial Chess pieces in order to get an upper hand over his opponent. Maybe during the final fight against the Mad Titan, one of the leading characters like maybe Hawkeye will get into a bit of trouble and someone will jump in the middle of the attack and help his partner out of trouble while giving up his own life. Big New Character At The End Endgame can not finish without the introduction of at least one Marvel character to continue with the franchise and the universe along with. There are a lot of talk about the introduction of someone really powerful and not a habitant of the earth, who has had some sort of a rivalry with Thanos due to his previous profession of visiting planets and eliminating half their population. Someone like Adam Warlock. Other characters who people think and hope to see in the end of the movie include Professor X, Rest of the X-Men, and these guys.

    Ever since 'Captain Marvel' was announced and Brie Larson took on the role of the strongest Avenger, she's received way too much hate. If hardcore Marvel fans actually don't prefer her in the role of the superhero, that is still understandable, but most of the trolling she faced was mainly from sexist dudebros who personally had a vendetta against Brie or were just too intimidated by a badass female superhero. Whatever that case may be, I feel like she has been judged very unfairly by a lot of people. But, guess what? That doesn't matter that much because the entire Marvel cast has welcomed her into the Avengers family with open arms and couldn't be more happy with her or the character of Captain Marvel. This press tour has already given us so many iconic moments of everyone together, probably for the last time, joking around and having the time of their lives. It also gave us so many great moments of Brie with all her costars.

    Sportspersons and athletes from all around the world go through severe injuries all the time. It's something they like to avoid at all costs but they tend to get hurt nonetheless. It is a part of the profession they choose and have made peace with it. Having said that, whenever an injury so gruesome happens to anyone, it has a lasting effect on the victim, their coach, their friends and family and everyone who watched it happen in front of their eyes. A couple of days ago, French weightlifter, Gaelle Nayo-Ketchanke was representing her country at the 2019 European Weightlifting Championship in Georgian city of Batumi. Approaching the stage for her third attempt to outdo her personal best, Gaelle tried to snatch a 110 kg bar over her head when tragedy struck her: WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Impactante lesión de Gaelle Nayo Ketchanke en el campeonato de Europa de halterofilia.

Thanks to the presence of the ad hoc medical team nearby, Nayo-Ketchanke was provided with adequate assistance and having reached the hospital quickly, her arm was treated well before things could have gotten any worse. Even though her injury looked devastating, Nayo-Ketchanke believes that her arm would be good as new in no time. She even uploaded this picture of her with the bronze medal she'd managed to win before the injury took place.

    It feels as if Rohit Sharma wanted to make up for the lack of entertainment the supporters of Mumbai Indians had to suffer, when the skipper missed out his first Indian Premier League game in 11 years against Ravichandran Ashwin's Kings XI Punjab due to a leg spasm on Wednesday. Nonetheless, the Indian opening batsman more than repaid his dues in today's game against Ajinkya Rahane's Rajasthan Royals during which he played a decent knock, making 47 runs off 32 deliveries, which included six fours and a solitary six, even though the Royals managed to win by four wickets and three spare deliveries. However, the greatest moment of the cricketer's innings came an over ahead of the delivery that dismissed him and ironically enough, the batsman's highlight had nothing to do with his bat. Walking down the pitch to try and hit a longer shot, Sharma was surprised by a full-toss by RR all-rounder K Gowtham going away from him to the left. Out of the crease by a good margin, the delivery would have definitely led to keeper Sanju Samson stumping him out but the Hitman's awareness of the situation and quick thinking made him kick the ball with his front foot, sending it away from the danger zone. His creative and quick reaction to avoid getting out led to Sharma's fans complimenting his footballing skills on Twitter: @mipaltan vs @rajasthanroyals: Deliberately padded by @ImRo45 , he kicks the ball away with his front leg pic.twitter.com/seDys6h1zi — Om Prasad Pattnayak (@OmPattnayak) April 13, 2019 Rohit be like "Messi who?" ð Picture credits: Hotstar#RohitSharma #MIvRR #QuintondeKock #MIvsRR #OneFamily #CricketMeriJaan pic.twitter.com/0dUIxp7ty2 — Rooter App (@RooterSports) April 13, 2019 That was a good kick by Rohit Sharma to avoid being stumped-out.

    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.

    Artificial Intelligence, as we all know, is slowly changing all of our lives as we know it. They're slowly taking over our jobs, have started driving our cars, and who knows what else. And guess what? A group of researchers just decided to let an AI program decide who will survive to rule the seven kingdoms in the 'Game Of Thrones' finale. The AI program in question here is the same one which predicted Jon Snow would live and Tommen Baratheon would die. And now, as we all are preparing for the final season to premiere in a couple of days, the AI is back at it again. © HBO This particular AI program, in case you are wondering, was created by the students of the Technical University of Munich. The algorithm has analyzed the data of over 2,000 characters with the help of information obtained from 'Game of Thrones' Wiki and The Wiki of Fire and Ice. A particular character's house, gender, marriage history, and things like character significance are among the deciding factors. “When you play the game of thrones you win… OR YOU DIE”. So, whoever manages to survive until the end gets to sit on the iron throne. According to the AI, Daenerys Targaryen has the highest chance of surviving till the end and sit on the iron throne. Tyrion Lannister is next in line with a promising 97-per cent survival rate. Varys, Samwell Tarly and Jaimie Lannister are some other characters who are most likely to survive. The great war was here. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/hWSeyHVIPe — Game of Thrones (@GameOfThrones) April 2, 2019 Now, coming to the characters which the AI thinks will die, Bronn is high up on the list with 93-per cent likelihood of dying. Bronn is followed by Gregor Clegane (The Mountain), Sansa Stark, Bran Stark and Sandor Clegane (The Hound). Anyway, we all have our own predictions, and we'll get all the answers when the games will begin again, for the last time, this Sunday.

    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. Now, the point of this series is not to discourage you from getting leaner and getting to single digits of body fat. Flashing abs is abso-fucking-lutely awesome! All I am trying to do is to make you aware of the negatives that come along with it and it'll help you decide that when is the right time in your schedule to diet to get to such leaner levels when you will be as irritable and as moody as a hormonal teenager.

    Drones, the gadget denied to Indian enthusiasts by the DGCA, unless you are a wedding planner or photographer, is a heated topic in the country. While we may be debating the commercial use of drones in India, people in Australia can now get coffee and food delivered to them by our flying friends. © Pexels The company that is making the service a possibility is called “Wing” owned by Google's parent company Alphabet. The company has now begun delivering items to customers just outside Canberra, Australia's capital. The company has already tested the service 3,00 times in the past 18 months and is now ready to roll the service out for “eligible homes.” The service will be available in the outskirts of Canberra, namely in suburbs of Franklin, Palmerston and Crace. The company is already adding new customers and is expected to grow that number in the coming weeks and months. The company will start delivering over the counter items such as coffee, wraps, burritos and other smaller products. © Wing The key to the company's success is partnering with local businesses and merchants who want to get their products delivered to customers. The service is currently not at scale due to the nature of the project, however, it's a great step towards reducing emissions from traditional delivery methods. © Pexels Of course, we won't get to see something like this in India as we need special permission from DGCA to just own a drone or fly them in a specific area. In fact, if you want to know the precise rules of flying a drone in India, you can read our guide here. Until then, enjoy them drones at a nearby Delhi wedding where it showers you with rose petals!

    Sometimes to bring an end to a bad day, you need to go through your social media feed to feel lighter with all the useless humour thrown your way. The kind of stuff you find online is sometimes rather funny and definitely puts an end to your mundane day. Just recently the Michigan police released a video of a CCTV footage of a thief robbing a store and trust me, it ended fairly terribly for him. For us though, it was quite a laugh! So, the thief goes in to rob a mobile shop and gets trolled heavily, in the process. The CCTV footage released by the Westland Police in Michigan shows a man wearing a tan coloured jacket enter a mobile store. He then goes ahead to pull something out from the shelf where the mobile phones are displayed. © YouTube But alas, as soon as he tries to pull the phones out with all his might, the entire shelf falls on his head, making him seem rather stupid. It's quite a hilarious moment to witness actually and we're glad it was caught on camera. © YouTube However, he picks himself up, with a few mobile phone boxes and gallantly tries to walk out, pretending like nothing ever happened. Watch the full video here: I don't know about you guys but this incident actually made us laugh like crazy. Well, what goes around comes around I guess.

    We only get to realise how uncertain life really is when we come across incidents like these. While our thoughts go out to the family members of the army soldiers who lost their lives in the bizarre fire in Mhow, we can't help but ponder the odds of something like this happening. On Thursday, a team of snipers of the Indian Army were target-practicing in Mhow, a cantonment in the Indore district in Madhya Pradesh. Like any other regular day practice, the soldiers were wearing their gille suits, an outfit made up of dry leaves and grass to help the shooters camouflage with the surroundings. Suddenly, a wildfire wrapped the shooters around out of nowhere taking away the lives of two while severely injuring nine others.

    The twelfth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is still on the stage of infancy but let there be no mistake about the level of competition the league exudes every single night. Batsmen are scoring more, bowlers are being more aggressive and fielding has become a part of the teams' defense so vital that the franchises are not backing away from getting involved in some 'unfair practices' to get the upper hand in the 40-over face-offs. According to Delhi Capitals' assistant coach Mohammad Kaif, IPL teams like Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and scoreboard leaders, Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) have been bringing in fitter, more agile fielders to replace poor fielders during the games and that the umpires have failed to spot it out. © Twitter - IPL “It is right that most matches are finishing close to midnight. Teams are bringing in good fielders and replacing them with slow ones. I think the umpires should look at the changes that the teams are making,” Kaif told media ahead of Delhi's game against Kane Williamson's SunRisers Hyderabad. “For example, DC versus KKR match, (Andrew) Russell went out, Rinku singh came to field. Piyush Chawla quickly bowled his four overs and went out and Rinku again came back.” “We have seen that in the last Punjab game as well. Sarfaraz Khan didn't come to field after being hit on the gloves. I don't know if he is injured. Karun Nair came to field and he took a good catch at long on of Ingram,” Kaif explained further. Always taking pride in his fielding talents, Kaif believes that such unfair practices must be stopped with immediate effect as it is against the spirit of the game. “Teams are playing smart and making changes which are not right to me. We will bring it up with the umpires,” added the former Indian cricketer. Slow over rate is another problem that irks the DC coach. Multiple cases have already come to the league officials' notice and the decision-makers have already fined Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) skippers Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma with Rs. 12 lakh each. @rajasthanroyals captain @ajinkyarahane88 was fined Rs 12 lakh as his side maintained a slow over-rate during their narrow loss to the @ChennaiIPL at the Chepauk Stadium here#IPL2019 pic.twitter.com/IT58HFNUtr — IPL 2019 (@IPL20195) April 1, 2019 “Teams defending are taking too much time I think, I don't understand all these planning in the IPL, there is an hour long meeting and also a lot of planning even at the field,” Kaif said.

    On Friday, Sanju Samson was on a roll during the intense match between RR (Rajasthan Royals) and SRH (Sunrisers Hyderabad). After smashing an unbeaten century and becoming the first player to do so in IPL 2019, Samson turned out to be a danger for the bowlers and became the sole-warrior of his team. Twitter But, while the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers failed to stop his rampage, a pizza delivery guy actually managed to halt him for a brief moment, without even making any extra efforts. I have never heard of such incidents before, so this definitely shook me as I kept on laughing and watching the video on repeat. via GIPHY During a crucial moment in the match when the score was 101/1, right when Vijay Shankar ran to bowl, Samson got distracted by the pizza delivery guy walking right in front of the sightscreen. Samson smiled at the guy and signalled at him to move away. When pizza delivery boy halted play https://t.co/UbCj2gWNad via @ipl — Yogesh Gajjar (@imyogesh_07) March 30, 2019 Once he was out of the sight, Samson got back into his lethal form and build a score of 198/2 against SRH. Although Rajasthan Royals couldn't win against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Samson was the uncontested star of the match. Also, let's be honest, we can't blame Samson here, can we? After all, who doesn't like pizzas? (let's keep the pineapple pizza lovers out of this discussion.)

    If mothers are an epitome of love, warmth, and affection; fathers are sometimes the exact opposite! They might troll you in front of your friends, but will also turn into your biggest cheerleaders and at times, go simply overboard with excitement. From cheering at the top of their voice to moving mountains (if needed) if they try to block their way while making a video, fathers are the best people you need in your life and watching them do their 'dad thing' is priceless. And Amitabh Bachchan, too, did the most dad thing ever when his daughter Shweta Bachchan walked the ramp at a recent fashion show. View this post on Instagram To the best .. always .. tonight elegance grace and dignity ðð A post shared by Amitabh Bachchan (@amitabhbachchan) on Mar 24, 2019 at 1:09pm PDT Shweta Bachchan, who recently launched her own brand, was walking the ramp with Karan Johar for Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. Big B was attending the show with Jaya Bachchan and the moment Shweta came on the ramp, he took out his phone to record it. Honestly, he reminded us of our parents at our Annual Day celebrations in school, back in the day when the Kodak reel cameras were a thing. But, that's not even the best thing about the video. The best moment was when he apparently whistled at the videographer, to ask him to move as he was blocking his view and once he shifted he continued making the video (zooming in and zooming out in between). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) on Mar 24, 2019 at 11:31pm PDT After watching this video, our dads be like "Yeah bro! Been there, done that." On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan whose latest flick 'Badla' was a super hit at the box-office, is now gearing up for his next movie 'Brahmastra' that also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.

    We've often heard stories of ambulance vans getting stuck in traffic or finding it difficult to pass through a busy road. Imagine, what will happen when an ambulance has to pass through a narrow street where hundreds of people are dancing in a festival. Amid the loud beats of music on a street which is overcrowded with people, the shortest time an ambulance can take is probably an hour or two, right? Turns out it only takes seconds if there is right coordination, and the people of Kerala are here to teach us how. In a minute-long video, people who were dancing on the streets can be seen parting quickly in order to make way for the ambulance. This video was taken during the Mannarkkad Pooram festival, which is said to be one of the oldest temple festivals in Kerala. This process looked so seamless that it is now winning people's hearts and going viral for all the right reasons. People on social media can't stop praising the locals and their efforts which probably helped save a life. Imagine a huge crowd making way for an Ambulance in a perfect manner!!! This video of a massive festival crowd in Palakkad (Kerala) making way for an Ambulance is viral in Whatsapp The ease at which the people make way for that Ambulance. pic.twitter.com/Fm38KpEaX3 — Advaid (@Advaidism) March 23, 2019 That gives smiles and hopes..That made my mng, Good way to start a day.. — à´à´¯àµ¼à´¨àµà´¨ à´à´¿à´¨àµà´¤à´¾à´à´¤à´¿à´¯àµà´ à´®àµà´àµà´à´¿à´¯ à´àµà´µà´¿à´¤à´µàµà´..

    Jim Sarbh undoubtedly has to be the quirkiest style icon we have seen in a while, and the best bit is, he is absolutely nonchalant about it. Right from pulling off gender-neutral clothing to hitting huge mainstream fashion sixers, this man is what we call a 'woke fashionista'. His delightful nonchalance just got reflected again, when he casually took an auto ride while going for a date - that too wearing the funkiest, most colourful shirt ever. © Viral Bhayani Now, it's not every day we get to see a celeb roaming around casually, taking a tour of the city in a rick, but it's Jim we're talking about, someone who's known for being a non-conformist, even in seemingly trivial daily occurrences like this one here. © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani When it comes to his outfit, we're in love with the multicoloured extravaganza.

Nothing makes for a cooler date, tbh!

    In the last two months, on a couple of occasions, former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has found himself in one of the most tricky scenarios for any batsmen. When the middle order collapses faster than melting ice, Dhoni's ability to stay on the crease has forced him to try and build partnerships with tailenders, especially when the Indian cricket team is not doing so well coming up with a respectable total to pose a real threat to the opposition. Under such 'Do or Die' circumstances, Dhoni is known to often stick with the third option: stay on the line and try to build a good total, even if it means that his knock is relatively slower than how it should have been; the alternative being getting out while going for a hasty shot. During the first Twenty20 match against the visiting Australian cricket team, Dhoni was put under a similar situation yet again. With Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik and Krunal Pandya sent back to the dressing room for cheap, Dhoni had one and only one objective in his head: Help India play till the end. Agreed, his pace was too slow, especially for a T20I match, even then India played all 20 overs and were able to put a number which was a lot more than it could have been if Mahi had gotten out in foolishness. If we had won the game, the narrative towards Dhoni's batting would certainly have been a lot different but because all wasn't rosy at the end, he was scrutinised by the self-proclaimed cricket pundits online: Ball to Dhoni ð­ #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/XPqVIHoh3B — Roshan Rai (@RoshanKrRai) February 24, 2019 #INDvAUS Waiting for Dhoni to hit his first boundary of the innings pic.twitter.com/zzZ2kh6I3s — Faking News (@fakingnews) February 24, 2019 Does MSD think only he can bat..?.. Doesnt good sight to see that he can't even give strike to #9 and he himself won't score.. not good at all..#Dhoni #INDvAUS — Akshay Hegde (@AAkshayHegde) February 24, 2019 However, Aussie all-rounder Glenn Maxwell came to the veteran's rescue when he said it was “fair enough” for Dhoni to turn down singles with his innings coming to an end, especially due to the slow and low nature of the pitch. According to cricket.com.au, Maxwell said: "MS is obviously a world-class finisher and even he was finding it hard to hit the middle of the bat… I think it was right of him to try and farm the strike and he hit a six in the last over… If you're holding MS to one boundary in the last few overs it's a pretty good effort and also a sign of the conditions as well.” There is not doubting Dhoni's abilities to finish games for the Men in Blue. More often than not, we have seen the man perform to the best of his abilities in clutch situations while also winning games with massive sixes on the last ball. It was just one of those days when things didn't turn out to be the way one hoped for. Even then, the fact that the Indian side was able to hold off the Australians to a nail-biting last-ball game winner was made possible with a great deal of credit going to MS Dhoni.

    Whatever people say about cricket and its diminishing following in India, the game of bat and ball continues to be the favourite sport of majority of the 1,300,000,000+ Indian. Throughout the years and years of ardent worshipping of the game and its men, we have tried to involve cricket in our lives in whatever way possible. To add to this unique relationship that Indians have had with the sport, Sampurnanand Sanskrit University in Varanasi decided to spend a day becoming the part of the cricketing world in the most traditional way they could think of. On the occasion of the university's platinum jubilee on Tuesday, 12th February 2019, Dhoti-Kurta clad players entered the university's cricket field to celebrate the monumental achievement of the institution. In what was a one-day tournament, a total of five teams participated, as reported by the Times of India, all of which had their own respective 'jersey' in the form of colourful dhoti-kurtas. Even the umpires had donned the look from top to bottom. While the cricketers in their unorthodox sporting attires looked unbelievably comfortable, running around the field, what stole the show for the Sampurnanand Sanskrit University was the Sanskrit commentary. On what was a desk of the most distinguished, learned and knowledgeable professors of the university, sat two commentators who made their way through the entire tournament, talking about the smallest of details about the games in Sanskrit with the utmost ease and fluency. “The students of Sampurnanand Sanskrit university who usually carry vedas, prayer books and pen in their hands, have picked up a bat and a ball and are playing a game of cricket in their traditional clothes of dhoni, kurta and tika to celebrate 75 years of success of their institution of education,” said Acharya Pawan Kumar Shastri, one of the professors present at the venue to TOI.
