Announcement of new film '50 Crore' has fans guessing its plot and wondering where the similarities with Money Heist end -
Apple's new iPhone 12 is now official and you'll soon be able to buy one for yourself. But there are a few things that you probably still don't know about the iPhone 12. Apple is notorious like that for keeping some of the crucial information from the consumers. In fact, it wasn't until this morning we learned that the iPhone 12 has a smaller battery than the iPhone 11 . That's right, the new iPhone 12 has a smaller battery than the one found inside its predecessor iPhone 11 that was released last year. © Apple It has now been confirmed by a few sources that the iPhone 12 sports a 2,815 mAh battery inside. In case you're wondering, the iPhone 11 sports a 3,110 mAh battery. So, we're essentially looking at a smaller sized battery inside the new iPhone. The iPhone 12 mini is said to have a 2,227 mAh battery inside. It's bigger than iPhone SE's battery but much smaller than the one found inside both the iPhone 12 as well as the iPhone 11. Is This Really An Downgrade?Well, the fact that the new iPhones, which are expected to be better than the older generation iPhones, have a smaller battery, is indeed a bummer. That being said, it's probably not a big deal because the iPhones also have a new A14 Bionic chipset that's built on a 5nm process. © Apple The new processor is expected to be quite power efficient and it's probably why Apple is claiming "great" battery life on the new iPhones even with a smaller battery. So, is it really a downgrade? On paper, yes. But in real life usage, the new iPhones will probably last just as long as the iPhone 11 did, if not more. We'll obviously have more to talk about the new iPhones once we've used them, so stay tuned. Source: 9to5mac View the full article

Whether your parents, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife likes it or not, video games have proven to be good for mental health according to numerous studies around the world. In fact, in India alone, there was a rise of 200% in console sales during the lockdown period as more people started to play games. A recent study by the UK's National Literacy Trust found that “video games can be a genuine route for gamers in reading, creative writing, improving literacy skills and most importantly, emotional wellbeing.” © unsplash In the case of the UK’s National Literacy Trust study it was found that 60% of the 4,600 respondents admitted that gaming has the ability to keep their kids in contact with friends and family during the lockdown. Keeping in touch with your friends on a regular basis is important for the mental wellbeing of children. In fact, if you want to know how video games personally helped me stay sane during the lockdown, read about my experience with Animal Crossing here. Games like Call of Duty: Warzone, Valorant and other competitive online multiplayer games enable gamers to strategize and implement their strategies that require precision and skill which no other form of entertainment can even evoke. These games also play an important role in the life of millennials. There’s a reason why the WHO encouraged everyone to sit at home and play games during the pandemic. Not only was it used as a measure to reduce the spread of the virus, but video games are also now more social than ever. It also helped gamers interact with their friends on a daily basis.

It’s been a while since we saw PeeCee grace the big screen. Yes, The Sky Is Pink came out only last year, but for some reason it failed to create the kind of buzz a Priyanka Chopra film is expected to create. But now, for all those who had been eagerly waiting for Priyanka to make a smashing comeback on the silver screen, The White Tiger will come bearing some good news. © RSVP Movies Revealing the first look of her upcoming project, Priyanka said, “So proud to present the first look of THE WHITE TIGER” and in all honesty, we can’t deny that the stills looked rather intense and definitely promising. But since fans always want to know more about their favourite star’s upcoming projects, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming film The White Tiger. © Twitter/priyankachopra 1. The film will star Priyanka Chopra, Rajkummar Rao and Adarsh Gourav in pivotal roles apart from other talented actors such as Mahesh Manjrekar, Vijay Maurya and others. 2. The film has been directed, written, and produced by Iranian-American director and screenwriter Ramin Bahrani of At Any Price, 99 Homes and Fahrenheit 541 fame. © Twitter/priyankachopra 3. The film is being backed by Netflix and is based on The New York Times Bestseller and the 2008 Man Booker Prize-winning novel by the same title by author Aravind Adiga. 4. The film traces the story of a family and the plight of one man Balram which will be played by Gourav. © Twitter/priyankachopra 5. In PeeCee’s own words, “the audience will witness Balram’s rise from a poor villager to successful entrepreneur in modern India showcases how hunger and the lack of opportunity can build and drive a human being’s animal instinct of survival.” View the full article

It doesn’t matter what platform you play games on. What matters at the end of the day are games. The Nintendo Switch has proven that a console doesn’t need to be powerful to play games as the content matters more than the platform that it is being played on. That’s exactly the same strategy Microsoft is using for promoting the next-generation of gaming. Whether you want to play games on a PC, a console or on your phone; Microsoft has you covered with its Games Pass service. © Microsoft If you always wanted to play console games and never could afford to get every game you wanted to play, Microsoft has just made it easier for you. With the Games Pass, Microsoft gives you access to hundreds of AAA and indie titles for the price of one. Think of it as Netflix for games as it includes blockbuster titles like Gears of War, Halo, Streets of Rage 4, Ori and Will of the Wisps and the entire Yakuza series. No matter what type of game you want to play, the Xbox Games Pass service has it. Microsoft also recently purchased the entire Zenimax Media catalogue and you will be seeing games like Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Doom and other franchises also making it to the service too. There’s no denying that you get more value than any other service out there and Microsoft is at the forefront of it. Now the most essential part of any service has to be the fact that it is accessible to everyone and Games Pass can be accessed on phones via streaming (yet to be launched in India), on PC and the Xbox consoles. The Xbox Series X and S are all set to launch next month all over the world and to everyone’s surprise in India as well. If you’ve always been wanting to get into console gaming, any of these consoles or the PC is a great starting point. © Microsoft The Indian gaming scene has long suffered from high prices for consoles and games because of import duties and publishers refusing to implement regional pricing. What publishers don’t understand is that India’s purchasing power is far lower than the rest of the world. A middle-class salaried Indian has to work 9-14 times or more to afford consoles and games as, in India, games are generally sold for $60 (a direct conversion) or sometimes even higher. Microsoft understands that and offers its Games Pass service, keeping regional pricing in mind. Xbox Game Pass starts at Rs 489 per month and in exchange, you get access to games that can cost up to $4000 or more if bought individually. You can even use the service on PC if you don’t own an Xbox or don’t plan on getting one. I’ve always been in support of making games more accessible to potential gamers and Microsoft is achieving my decade-old notion in India. © YouTube/Austin Evans Xbox Games Pass is not only giving one access to hundreds of games, it’s also about getting access to newly launched first-party titles on launch day without having to pay extra. It has a stable catalogue of games where some games leave the service each month but are replaced by new ones. So it’s not only that you will be stuck with one set of games, with the service, you will also get access to new and different games that you won’t have to purchase separately. And lastly, Microsoft has understood that gaming is all about being inclusive which is why the company has also started to implement cross-platform features. Not only will the games purchased from the Microsoft Store be available to play on your PC, you can also access them on an Xbox without having to pay extra. Similarly, multiplayer games like Forza Horizon 4, Halo Master Chief Collection also let players from different platforms play games with each other. It’s probably the most inclusive feature any game publisher or console maker has ever promoted. I firmly believe that next-gen gaming would be best on the Xbox Series X and PC simply because of how powerful these machines can be and the fact that it promotes affordability. The Games Pass is probably the best gift Indian gamers could receive this generation and if it weren’t for Microsoft, we would still be paying way more to play latest games. View the full article

The mysterious and untimely death of Sushant Singh Rajput has made people question a lot of aspects of Bollywood. Not only are people boycotting the whole industry and new releases, many celebs have also been ridiculed on social media for not speaking up for Sushant. Recently, Amit B Wadhwani, co-producer of PM Narendra Modi's biopic filed a complaint with the cyber cell after receiving threats online. IN CINEMAS NEXT WEEK... #PMNarendraModi - starring #VivekAnandOberoi in title role - will re-release in *cinemas* next week... OFFICIAL poster announcing the theatrical release... pic.twitter.com/NfGRJoQVFS — taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) October 10, 2020 Wadhwani has alleged that a Facebook account by the name of Optimistix Optimistix had left a threatening comment on a post about the re-release of the biopic on PM Modi. The person had also allegedly accused Wadhwani of being involved in Sushant Singh Rajput’s death and made abusive comments about his daughter. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Wadhwani said, “I don’t even have a daughter. However, what was scarier was that he also posted a picture of me and my two-year-old son in the comments. I have never posted that picture on Facebook.” He added, “I have been active on social media and contributing as a thought leader in the industry and also providing updates on the latest business moves and industry trends. As co-producer of PM Narendra Modi, I have received threat comments on social media warning me of dire consequences. While trollers are common and insignificant, the nature of the threat and bringing in my family into this is disturbing for a law-abiding citizen and business leader like me. I wasn’t sure whether there is a wider nexus or pattern to it given the recent developments in the Bollywood industry. I have filed an official complaint with the cyber cell who have assured me to look into this.” PM Narendra Modi, starring Vivek Anand Oberoi as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is one of the first movies that has re-released after theatres opened this week. The film brings to screen the journey of PM Narendra Modi — from a chaiwala at a railway station to finally becoming the leader of the world’s largest democracy. While a lot of people voiced their disagreement with the re-release of a lot of films, this surely gives people another opportunity to catch a few of the films in theatres again, given you are willing to risk it by going to the theatres. Are you also planning to catch these films in the theatres? Or are you better off streaming them from the safe confines of your homes? Let us know in the comments below. View the full article

Apple hosted its annual iPhone special event two days ago where the company usually announces the new iPhone and accessories that go along with it. Apple announced the iPhone 12, 12 mini and the 12 Pro models, however there were other accessories that were expected to launch which didn't make the cut. Apple did announce one of the rumoured accessories i.e. HomePod Mini but there was no sign of AirPods Studio and AirTags. © Jon Prosser Prosser also detailed that AirTags are completely finished and Apple is simply waiting for the right time to announce the tracker. The trackers have been long-rumoured to launch as it basically works like Tile tracking devices that can be attached to belongings and gadgets. Sources say that Apple may launch AirTags after support for the devices will be rolled out with the iOS 14.3 set to release next month. There’s a good chance that the AirTags will be announced next month alongside new Macbook laptops and even have features that would work with the ARM-based devices. AirPods Studio was leaked earlier this year in the iOS 14 Beta code and we know at least two colours are in the works for the upcoming headphones. Rumours have suggested the headphones will cost $349 and will have active noise cancellation features. Source: Jon Prosser, Bloomberg View the full article

One of the most successful franchises in the history of the Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings have not been able to return to their winning ways during the 2020 season in the United Arab Emirates. Having reached the final in 2019, the team was expected to be a dominating force from day one. However, with three wins in eight matches, the three-time champions are barely keeping themselves in the playoff contention and are currently at the sixth position in the IPL Points Table. Last year's purple cap winner Imran Tahir is yet to play a single game this season. Imran Tahir. (Photo: Surjeet Yadav/IANS)The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were finally able to make their fans happy after winning by 20 runs against SRH. # # # # # # # # # https://t.co/7Go6LI8fBw pic.twitter.com/y7vgN2w3aX — Republic of Buzz (@republicofbuzzz) October 14, 2020 The secret behind CSK’s success last season, and arguably their failure this season is a man named Imran Tahir , a Pakistan-born South African leg-spinner who took the league by storm and scalped 17 wickets in 26 matches to bag the Purple Cap in 2019. According to a much-debated rule established by the Indian T20 league, no more than four overseas players are allowed to be a part of a franchise’s Playing XI. As a result, many iconic international stars are finding it difficult to have an impact on the biggest league in the shortest format of the game. @ramansundar DD vs CSK ->perfect case for 5 overseas players. Morkel could've played. #IPL needs to change 4 oseas plr rule!! — DashofCash (@AshokV1) May 26, 2012 While Tahir had himself a definite position in CSK’s Playing XI last season and worked hard enough to prove his worth, he has not yet made his season debut for the ‘Whistle Podu’ army as yet this year for the reason mentioned above. Having recently acquired Sam Curran, the four overseas spots in CSK have been filled by Shane Watson, Sam Curran, Faf du Plessis and Dwayne Bravo, meaning the team can’t play Imran even if they wished to, not unless they risk removing one of these four names. With fans constantly begging their franchise to make their most efficient bowler from last season at least play in one match this year, Imran went on Twitter to express his feelings on the issue and the message proved what a ‘Team-First’ player he genuinely is. When I used to play many players carried drinks for me now when deserved players are in the field it’s my duty do return favors.Its not about me playing or not it’s about my team winning.If I get a chance I will do my best but for me team is important #yellove @ChennaiIPL — Imran Tahir (@ImranTahirSA) October 14, 2020 “When I used to play many players carried drinks for me now when deserved players are in the field it’s my duty do return favors.Its not about me playing or not it’s about my team winning.If I get a chance I will do my best but for me team is important,” wrote the 41-year-old, who was also the oldest man to play in the league last season. Fans reacted to this tweet with all their love and support: 5 to 6 foreign players should be allowed in each team instead of 4...

Retained by the franchise for Rs 10 crore, Tahir is a rich man who doesn’t really have to worry about his team’s success or failure, as long as he is getting paid. The fact that he remembers his glory days and wishes to be there for the next generation of superstars whatever ways he can, shows his true character as that of a genuine sportsperson.

Muralitharan had then received flak for his statement and for expressing his support to the ruling Rajapaksa family.

When Zac Efron’s much-talked-about Baywatch body was first seen on the big screen, people were absolutely stunned by all the gains he had made. From being a skinny kid with the old-school Justin Bieber haircut to transforming into an absolute hunk with block-shaped abs, and 5 per cent body fat, the fitness world truly appreciated the man’s dedication for the look (too bad the film didn’t show half the dedication). © Paramount Pictures According to Muscle and Fitness , Zac’s biggest friend during this transformation was the wonderful technique of ‘supersetting’ ie; doing two or more exercises back-to-back with no rest in between. Supersets not only increase the intensity of your workouts by not allowing the muscles to relax between sets but also reduces your gym-time significantly and leads to a higher rate at which your body burns calories and gets rid of fat. © Paramount Pictures In Zac’s case, his trainer, Patrick Murphy crammed some of his best exercises into a three-day workout routine (with one day break after every workout day) and here’s how his weekly sheet looked like (via Muscle and Fitness) : DAY 1 - Back and Biceps: © Paramount Pictures · Straight-Arm Pulldown - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Ab Rollout: - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) · Seated Cable Row - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Suspended Row - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) · Neutral-Grip Pullup - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Lat Pulldown From Knees - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds). · Chinup - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Dumbbell Bicep Curls - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) DAY 2 - REST DAY 3 - LEGS © Paramount Pictures · Leg Press - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Suspension Squat Jump - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) · Swiss Ball Hip Extension - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Swiss Ball Leg Curls - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) · Reverse Walking Lunge - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Mountain Climbers - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) · Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Kick Butts - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) · Unstable Single-Leg Calf Raise - 3 Sets (8-12 reps each side) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Single-Leg Squat Hop - 3 Sets (8-12 reps each side) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) DAY 4 - REST DAY 5 - SHOULDERS, CHEST ARMS © Paramount Pictures · Dumbbell Squat Front Raise - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Cross-Body Cable Raise - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) · Dumbbell Floor Press - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Pushups - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) · Incline Dumbbell Press - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Dumbbell Overhead Press - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) · Chest Cable Fly - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Bosu Plyo Pushup - 3 Sets (8-12 reps) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) · Single-Arm Pushdown - 3 Sets (8-12 reps each side) - Rest Between Sets (0 Seconds) · Single-Arm Curl - 3 Sets (8-12 reps each side) - Rest Between Sets (60 Seconds) DAY 6 - REST DAY 7 - REST Why Does Zac Efron Not Want To Get Back Into The Baywatch Shape Again? © Paramount Pictures While appearing on the popular YouTube show Hot Ones, Efron revealed how incredibly difficult it was to maintain that physique. He said: "That was actually a really important time to do Baywatch because I realized that when I was done with that movie, I don't ever want to be in that good of shape again. He added: "You're working with almost no wiggle room, right? You've got things like water under your skin that you're worrying about, making your six-pack into a four-pack. [Stuff] like that, it's just not… It's just stupid. It's just not real." What a lot of people fail to understand is that the extraordinarily ‘ripped’ physiques actors acquire for a role comes from months of dedication in the gym. It is their job to look the part and for that, they have to spend 5-6 hours a day at the gym and follow a ruthlessly strict diet. And even though it is not impossible for those who work a regular 5-9 job, to have such a chiselled physique, maintaining it for more than a few months is almost next to impossible.

Apple is all set to unveil its shiny new iPhones tonight along with some other products. Apple's product launches, just like their products, are usually great and they get a respectable nod from enthusiasts. But as always we don't expect the iPhones to be perfect, at least when it comes to the specifications. If the new rumors are something to go by, then it looks like the new iPhones won't have high refresh-rate panels. That's right, even the new iPhone 12 series users will miss out on high refresh rate panels on their phone and will probably have to wait till the next batch of iPhones come out. I’m told that 120hz not being implemented in iPhone 12 Pro is 100% about battery life. Hardware was more than capable — but it just eats through battery, and 5G drains enough battery by itself. It was basically a choice between 120hz or 5G, and they picked 5G. Rightfully so. — Jon Prosser (@jon_prosser) October 11, 2020 From what we've learned, it looks like Apple had to make a decision and choose between adding either 5G support or 120Hz high refresh rate panels on the new iPhones. It looks like Apple decided to go with the 5G support because all the new iPhone models, including the rumored iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12, and both the iPhone 12 Pro models, will ship with 5G support out of the box. Why did Apple have to choose between the two? We think battery life is the biggest bottleneck here. Yes, Apple's A-series processors are quite efficient when it comes to battery life but there's no denying that the new iPhones are going to take a hit because of the 5G support. We can only imagine what it would've been with a 120Hz panel too. View the full article

Kim Jong-Un may often be called the modern day Genghis Khan for his tyrannous ways, although most people still find it baffling how this man manages to remain so mysterious despite being such a hot topic of discussion around the world. Known for his love for absolute power and authority, sprinkled with a roaring desire to be the supreme leader of a country that would one day become world superpower, Kim Jong-Un can probably go to any lengths to make that happen - even if it means caging and whipping his own country men to fuel his dreams and realise it. © TwitterSMDRNews However, hours ago, in a rare show of human emotions, Kim Jong-Un was seen “weeping” while he begged forgiveness from his people for his failures during the coronavirus pandemic and admitted that he has not 'always lived up to' the trust placed in him. The incident took place while Kim Jong-un was speaking at a military parade to mark the 75th anniversary of the country's ruling Workers' party. This is the translation The Korea Times carried - 'Our people have placed trust, as high as the sky and as deep as the sea, in me, but I have failed to always live up to it satisfactorily. I am really sorry for that,’ Kim Jong-Un had reportedly said. © Twittermashable He had further added, “Although I am entrusted with the important responsibility to lead this country upholding the cause of the great Comrades Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il thanks to the trust of all the people, my efforts and sincerity have not been sufficient enough to rid our people of the difficulties in their lives. ” Now, while opposition leader in South Korea, Kim Chong-in, dismissed the act and called it 'appalling crocodile tears', here’s what others have to say about it on social media.

In today’s era of cut-throat competition and with no time to sit back and let the mind heal from the rigorous overexertion, it is common that people tend to find their mental health to not be at a hundred percent. More often than not, we fail to prioritise our mind and simply overlook the problems unless it gets absolutely overwhelming to control and we may end up having a mental breakdown. © iStock If you wish to prevent something like that happening to you, there are numerous red flags to look out for. These signs will not only make you more aware of your mind’s health status but in certain cases will also indicate that therapy would be a good idea. Here Are 5 Alarming Signs That Your Mental Health Needs Attention: Increased Distress © iStock Our sense of a normal life seems to be shaken. The feeling of distress starts to increase, it could be feeling low, sad, anxious, worried or overthinking. Can’t Regulate Your Thoughts & Emotions © iStock Our thoughts and emotions feel as though they are out of control. They can sometimes be on extremes, but frequently negative in nature. Daily Chores Become Difficult To Follow © iStock Our normal routine feels difficult to keep up the pace with, we start to lose interest in things. Our sleep and food habits, along with productivity, are the firsts to be affected. Self Doubt & Indecisiveness © iStock We begin to doubt ourselves, our capabilities and confidence. This in turn ends up hampering our decision-making abilities, which further affects our sense of self- becoming. It’s a vicious cycle. Relationships Get Affected © iStock For quite a few of us one of the biggest indicators are our relationships, our attitude towards the one we love and our interactions with people around us. As much as sharing with loved ones feels better, it also feels extremely difficult to do so. We tend to withdraw, ending up going into a shell of self-isolation. All these signs make the challenge at hand feel overwhelming and like a losing battle to fight. They can sometimes even lead to recurring thoughts of self harm and even suicide, which is arguably the biggest red flag of them all. As daunting as these concerns seem, it is important to remember that they can be taken care of with the help of therapy. ~With inputs from Twishi Chand, Counselling Psychologist, Untangle View the full article

At the first sight of Glenn Maxwell batting, you'd see a dynamic right-hander who is not only capable of making unorthodox shots look routine, but also surprise the opposition with his raw power to clear the fence at will. But, Maxwell's audacity comes with risk, more often than the Australian cricketer or his fans would have liked. A natural timer of the ball, Maxwell is blessed with the rare ability to change the outcome of a match on the back of his otherworldly batting. On his day, Maxwell can bowl his off-spin economically, take gravity-defying catches in the outfield and score runs at an unbelievable strike-rate. But, the world-beating Maxwell rarely shows up. For years, he has been in and out of the Australian team owing to his inconsistent performances. But, despite his inconsistency, the Australian team continues to back him purely on the promise of him coming good someday. Similarly, a lot of Twenty20 (T20) franchises continue to gamble on Maxi and offer him hefty salaries for his inconsistent services. © Twitter/@IPL Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), too, took that gamble when they shelled out a whopping Rs 10.5 crore for the Australian allrounder at the IPL 2020 Auction. And, so far, Maxwell has proved to be a bad investment for Punjab. In the six matches he has played, so far, in the thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Maxwell has managed to score a mere 48 runs at an average of just 12 and strike-rate of under 100. When it comes to bowling, the 31-year-old has taken just one wicket, conceding at an economy of over 9 runs per over. #SRHvsKXIP #KXIP fans after seeing Maxwell's performance in this ipl: pic.twitter.com/EK3CM3oSpo — sahukaar 🇮🇳 (@sahukaar1) October 8, 2020 Last night, Punjab was probably hoping that Maxwell will finally get his mojo going and step up for the team. But, the match-winning Maxwell was still an absentee at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Chasing 201 runs, Punjab never looked in control of the run-chase, losing wickets at regular intervals. © Twitter/@IPL But, Nicholas Pooran gave them some hope, hammering Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling unit to all around the park in his explosive 37-ball 77. It was a time when Punjab and their fans desperately hoped that someone, including Maxwell, would hold the fort at the other end and give Pooran some company, stitching a game-changing partnership. But, it didn't happen. Maxwell was run-out by Priyam Garg's direct hit on yet another mediocre score of 7 runs that came off 12 deliveries. As it turned out, Punjab lost the match by 69 runs. There is no doubt that it was Punjab's usually-explosive batting lineup that failed to deliver when it mattered the most. But, it was Maxwell's sixth consecutive dismal performance that undeniably makes him stand out among the rest. #SRHvsKXIP Maxwell in #KXIP pic.twitter.com/Ol8W1QmNun — Aditya (@Savage__Adi) October 8, 2020 Like many on social media, Virender Sehwag, too, wasn't impressed with Maxwell. "Don't know what sort of a platform Glenn Maxwell needs to explode. He came in early (against Sunrisers Hyderabad) after Punjab lost two batsmen quickly. A lot of overs were left this time, but he failed. Earlier, he didn't have pressure (batting in the death overs in previous matches), yet he got out without performing," he told Cricbuzz. © Twitter/@IPL The funny thing is, the IPL franchises, over the years, have never shied away from breaking the bank for Maxwell solely on the hope that the Australian will step up whenever their team would need it the most. But, it has rarely happened. In the 75 matches he has played, so far, in the IPL, Maxwell has only scored 1145 runs at an average of 22.23 - a bitter truth that raises questions over his astonishing price tag. "I can't quite understand his mindset because it's been the same story every year. He gets sold in the auction for a hefty price but the result remains the same. Yet, people (franchises) run after him. This is something I don't understand," Sehwag, who has coached KXIP in the past, added. Maxwell in #KXIP & Kedar Jadhav in #CSK is as useless as Traffic Lights in GTA. #SRHvKXIP — banna. (@iBeingJaii) October 8, 2020 Sehwag even went on to predict a heavy fall in his price tag for the next season. "In the next auction, I think his price will drop from 10 crores to somewhere around Rs. 1-2 crores which is what it should be. It has to be kept in mind that he scored his last half-century in 2016," Viru opined. © Twitter/@IPL Given his forgettable outings in the tournament so far, Maxwell desperately needs some introspection into his approach. The right-hander had arrived in the UAE for IPL 2020 on the back of a match-winning 108 that had powered Australia to a thrilling three-wicket win over England in the 3rd ODI last month. But, he has hardly looked like the match-winner we all saw in Manchester this September. #Maxwell in every #IPL2020 match Be like:#KXIP pic.twitter.com/2jhS60M6s0 — sarcaSAM (@Sarcast83590506) October 8, 2020 On the other hand, Punjab don't have much time left to wait for Maxwell to find his form. With one win and five losses in six games so far, Punjab are currently at the last spot in the points table and inching towards the must-win territory in the tournament. Thus, the more viable approach seems to be replacing Maxwell with big-hitting Chris Gayle for the upcoming matches. View the full article

Earlier this week, Sony finally revealed the complete teardown of the PlayStation 5 and we got to see some interesting components and the motherboard of the upcoming console. We also got to see a massive fan, NVME SSD slots, and all the ports that will be available on the console. However, the one thing everyone noticed was the fact that the console was too large. The teardown explains why the console is so massive and it has a lot to do with the console being a powerful upgrade. © Sony PlayStation If you’ve used the PlayStation 4 recently, you may have noticed your console sounds like a jet engine when playing any of the recent titles. In fact, the console starts to sound like a jet engine as it is pushing the hardware to its limits to keep it cool. Well, it seems like Sony has rectified that problem with the PlayStation 5 so that a similar situation doesn’t arise with the PlayStation 5. For starters, the backside of the entire console is an exhaust port. And in order to keep the console cool, it needed to have a large chassis so that the fan can draw in air from both sides. There’s also a massive heatsink inside the console which absorbs the heat generated inside to achieve the same performance as a vapour chamber. © Sony PlayStation The other reason why the console is so large is simply to reduce dust build-up inside the console while the primary reason is to keep the console cool and not create a lot of noise due to dust build-up. That’s the explanation given by Sony engineer Yasuhiro Ootori in the teardown video. © Sony PlayStation Now we know why the PlayStation 5 is such a large console. Ootori makes clear that the size enables for a "dramatic improvement in performance in terms of processing power and quietness.” The two components that contribute to such a large chassis of the console is the massive heatsink which takes up a lot of the internal space and the fan. © Sony PlayStation While the sheer size of the console might not be ideal for fitting it into your TV cabinet, at least it should be quieter and cooler than the PlayStation 4. It will prevent any sort of thermal throttling and in turn have a positive effect on the console’s performance. As it is touted to be the most powerful PlayStation console yet, the large size was expected as the components inside will generate a lot of heat. The PlayStation 5 is all set to launch next month all over the world, however there is no word when it will be available in India and at what price. We can expect Sony to announce the details soon, however the Japanese company is currently under a Trademark battle with a person who filed the PS5 trademark three months before Sony. We should expect something soon once the problem is resolved by all parties involved. View the full article

Why Prince William thought Meghan Markle is not the right one for Prince Harry

Prince William posed serious concerns when Prince Harry was getting hitched to Meghan Markle -
No matter where you stand on manscaping, shaving, or rather trimming the hair from your armpits is the bare minimum that you should be doing. Not only is it just more hygienic, it actually helps us deal with the travesty of India’s weather and polluted air. © Instagram/actormaddy The thing is, although people harp on about shaving their armpits, the reality is, that they really shouldn’t. Rather people should actually just trim the hair under their armpits. Waxing is simply out of the question since most of us do not have the threshold to bear that much pain. © iStock Why should men trim their armpit hair, instead of shaving it off, you ask? Well, we will give you six really compelling reasons: 1. Fewer Chances Of Cuts & Knicks © Instagram/ranveersingh Trimmers greatly reduce the chance of getting cuts and nicks. Given just how sweaty armpits can get, especially when it is hot and humid, just thinking of the burning sensation when sweat hits a cut, makes the skin crawl. 2. Fewer Chances Of An Infection © Twitter/Suriya_offl Another advantage of not getting any nicks or cuts under your arm is the fact that you won’t have to deal with any sort of infection. Thanks to how sweat just tends to accumulate under our arm, it becomes a cesspool of bacteria and fungi. Any deep cuts or wounds will almost certainly lead to an infection. 3. Hair Does Not Become Coarse © iStock When you shave an area consistently and regularly, the hair starts growing with a thicker shaft, and a pointy, prickly head. Not only does it irritate the skin, it feels, well, prickly, almost as if something is constantly jabbing pins under your arm. 4. Safe Against The Bumps © iStock The skin covering your armpits is loose, wrinkly, and well, just isn’t conducive to shaving. Also, if you have been shaving regularly, you may have developed some bumps under your arms, which greatly increases the chances of a cut. The only way to go about things in such a scenario is to ditch the razor for a trimmer. 5. Ideal For Sensitive Skin Around Armpits © Twitter/Suriya_offl The skin around your armpits is actually very sensitive. That is one of the reasons, why shaving it repeatedly, tends to darken the skin there. Not that it matters, but trimming actually prevents that from happening. More importantly though, if you trim with one of those combed-guards on, you don’t agitate your skin at all. 6. No Irritated Or Agitated Skin © Instagram/kartikaaryan It does not matter how careful you are with your razor, you will end up agitating or irritating your skin. Heck, it can even lead to rashes. The thing is, no matter how you do it, if you shave your armpits, you will irritate your skin, which can be wildly uncomfortable at times. That’s another good reason to go for a trimmer.

One of the most irritating things about shaving that makes some men despise the activity and grooming, in general, is razor burn. No matter how well versed you may think you are in shaving, chances are you may be doing something wrong. Heck, even professional barbers make mistakes. © iStock So, what are the mistakes that men make during shaving? Why do most men, in spite of taking precautions and utmost care while handling a razor, still get rashes from shaving and burn their skins? Well, these are the most common reasons for razor burns: 1. Dull Blades © iStock The sharper the blade, the quicker and more effectively you make a stroke. Dull blades also tend to tug at the skin and bruise it, sometimes quite badly. As a rule of thumb, you should always change your razor cartridges after 5 or 8 shaves, depending on your beard growth. 2. Pressing Too Hard © iStock When you’re handling a razor, you should ideally let it just glide over your skin, and let the blades do the work. Instead, what most of us end up doing is press the razors a little too hard onto our skin, and make a stroke. Its almost as if we’re trying to peel our skin off. That’s not how you’re supposed to be doing things. 3. Shaving Foam Or Gel Doesn’t Suit You © iStock Not all shaving foams or gels are made equally. Ideally, your lubricating agent, should lather well, spread easily, soften your stubble, and most importantly, suit your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, you’re already causing it to rash, before even touching the blade. 4. Improper Lubrication © iStock Now, even if you have the right shaving foam or gel, you need to make sure that it lubricates your skin properly. You should ideally let the lather soften up your hair for some time, but not too much that it starts drying up. Also, do keep in mind the coverage of the lather. It has to be thick and luscious across all the parts where you’ll use the razor. By not doing these things you greatly mitigate the chances of having a razor burn. But do keep in mind, you cannot remove the risk of having a razor burn completely. So, what do you do when you actually get a razor rash? Dealing With Razor Rash 1. Use A Cool Non-Alcoholic Aftershave © iStock First and foremost, after washing your face with cool water, apply some non-alcoholic aftershave if you have it. Regular, alcoholic aftershaves cause a burning sensation even when you don’t have a razor rash, so imagine how painful it would be when you indeed have one. Just dab a little aftershave on your palm and rub it gently on the skin. 2. Ice Packs & Cold Towels © iStock After you’re done with the aftershave, get an icepack or a cold towel, and press it against the rash or the afflicted area. This will immediately cool things down since most rashes and skin burns are caused by friction and heat. Do not put ice directly onto the skin, as this may cause the skin to get even more irritated. 3. Aloe Vera Gel © iStock Once you’re done with your ice pack, apply some aloe vera sap, or better yet, a thick layer of aloe vera gel. This will soothe your skin in a better way, and start healing the afflicted area. Plus, aloe vera ha some good anti-microbial properties that prevent the afflicted area to develop infections. Wash it off after 20-30 mins, using regular water. 4. Petroleum Jelly or Vaseline © iStock Now, throughout the rest of the day, just apply a thin veneer of Vaseline on the afflicted area. This will not just protect the rash from the elements but also speed up the healing process. Make sure you refresh the veneer every 3-4 hours 5. Change Your Razor And Your Shaving Routine © iStock Although we strictly advise against this, but if you indeed need to shave the next day or the day afterwards again, change your razor, and if possible tweak your shaving routine a little. Take a warm shower before you shave. This always helps by making your shaving experience a whole lot smoother. View the full article
