8 Actors’ Bodies Before & After They Got To Play A Superhero’s Role In The MCU

As rare and difficult as they are, epic body transformations have become a lot more common in the acting business, ever since the Marvel Cinematic Universe came in and revolutionised the superhero genre. Heroes were now required to not only bring their A-game while acting but also look like a comic-book based character with well-defined muscles.  Here are eight actors’ bodies before and after they got to play a superhero’s role in the MCU: 1. Robert Downey Jr. - Iron Man: © Aricia's Album Struggling with drug abuse while trying to get the trust of Hollywood as an actor, RDJ was given the opportunity to play Tony Stark to begin his MCU journey. 
Good friend and director of the movie, Jon Favreau entrusted Downey and required him to completely get committed to the role and it goes without saying that he didn’t disappoint. © Marvel Studios What a lot of people fail to realise is exactly how much effort Downey put into getting in shape for the character, and the final product that we saw onscreen even mesmerised some of the other hunked-out colleagues of his in the films to come.
2. Chris Evans - Captain America: © Twentieth Century Fox Chris Evans belongs to a small group of people who got the opportunity to play two superheroes at the peak of his acting career, which meant that he needed to stay in great shape throughout. 
© Marvel Studios Back when he was the Human Torch in the first rendition of the Fantastic Four (2005) he appeared to be in shape but was very lean. He took his aesthetics to a whole new level when he got the role of Steve Rogers, aka Captain America in 2011.
3. Chris Hemsworth - Thor: © Elaine Davis - Pinterest Yet another Chris who wasn’t really ever out of shape. 
While he didn’t possess the muscle-mass of a Norse God before he signed a contract with Marvel Studios, he’d still boast a lean but impressive physique, a 'surfer’s body', to go along with the cliched term. © Marvel Studios However, with the picking up of Mjölnir, came the long blonde locks and a majestic body that a majority of the Marvel fans consider to be the best shape any actor from their universe has managed to achieve and maintain for so long.
4. Chris Pratt - Starlord: © Man v FAT Arguably the most different Chris of them all, Chris Pratt was nowhere near the kind of shape Marvel Studios were hoping for. 
At the time of his audition for the role, Chris Pratt weighed approximately 136 kg, had a swollen face and a beer belly to complement the look.  © Marvel Studios But when he was seen as Peter Quill aka Starlord in Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014, his unbelievable body transformation startled everybody.
5. Chadwick Boseman - Black Panther: © Adali Nelson Pintesest Chadwick Boseman’s body transformation into King T’Challa aka the Black Panther becomes so much more impressive when you realise that he’d gone through all that training and pain and struggling while battling cancer.
© Marvel Studios The actor, who recently succumbed to his illness, was a rather skinny man ahead of his Marvel debut in Captain America: Civil War. Unfortunately, fans could see his health deteriorate with time and see how thin he’d gotten when he uploaded this video from his Instagram account months before his death.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@chadwickboseman) 6. Paul Rudd - Ant-Man: © Dreamworks Pictures When the first Ant-Man movie came out in 2015, Paul Rudd was 46-years-old but the man looked as if he barely aged ever since we saw him in Friends over a decade ago. 
He’s been the kind of a man who’s always been in good shape. Not loaded with rock-hard abs or bulging biceps but a flat stomach who could run a mile on command. © Marvel Studios But when Rudd was signed to become the smartass thief-turned tiny superhero (or sometimes super huge), he went to work and started pumping iron.
7. Jeremy Renner - Hawkeye: © Jeremy Renner - Twitter With or without his contract with Marvel Studios, Renner was the kind of man who loved to be in shape. He once revealed on Twitter that he got fired from a job because he “looked young”. 
© Marvel Studios But when he was approached for the role of Hawkeye, Renner put on some muscle and his arms looked a lot bigger than they did before. 
Too bad that he felt his role in the first Avengers movie was not what he’d expected. In fact, he wished that the scriptwriters would kill him off in the first film itself. 8. Mark Ruffalo - Hulk: © Pinterest - Dyah Prabaningram When you are supposed to spend 90% of your time as a Marvel movie actor in a hilarious looking mocap suit with white spots painted all over your face, you don’t have a lot of incentive to go to the gym every day.
© Marvel Studios Mark’s Ruffalo’s role as the Hulk was completely taken care of by the studios’ visual effects artists and his job as Bruce Banner, a nerdy scientist didn’t require him to be in great shape, as a result, the man remained just the way he is and people loved him the same.

Jay Sean Talks About His New Song 'Nakhre', Working With Rishi Rich & His Creative Process

We all love Jay Sean for his massive hits like Ride It and Down that defined our childhood. In fact, Ride It is a song that keeps getting new versions and is definitely going to be on your upcoming party playlist even today.  Recently, Jay Sean released his new single Nakhre in collaboration with Rishi Rich. We caught up with him to know more about this song and his other hits. 1. What can you tell us about your new work? What has inspired you and what's the story that you're trying to put across? My recent body of work has been more focused on the singer/ songwriter genre. It is less production driven and more focused on the lyrical content and musical top line melody.  I do have some party bangers, of course, but I recently spent a month writing songs with real meaning and depth. © Instagram/Jay Sean 2. Is Film/Cinematic soundtracks something you would be willing to explore in the future?
I have done some work on movies and will continue to do so, as it is a fun and different experience. 3. The Indian music scene has been revolutionized by record labels recently. How did songs like Ride It which were massive hits affect your career and its trajectory? Yes, what’s funny about Ride It is that it has been the gift that keeps on giving. Recently, it was remixed by a DJ called Regard and became one of the biggest songs in the world.  To hear my voice on a different up-tempo beat was fun and of course, the fact that it became a hit once again was truly fun. My original Ride It was also the song that got me signed to Cash Money six years ago.  There is a lot to be said about the power that massive record labels have, but that said, our recent release, Nakhre was a joint venture between my own label, Kamouflage, and Rishi Rich’s label Break the Noise. And we have currently had so much success it has been number 1 across many charts globally in terms of streams and sales. 4. As rave as the reviews for your music is, there is also a fan base for your sense of fashion. Is fashion something you have a keen interest in? I like to dress well and feel good, that is my take on fashion.  I am aware of trends but I will always stick to what I feel most confident in. Not everything that is in fashion will necessarily look good on me though and that's okay.  © Instagram/Jay Sean 5. How tough is it to break into the industry? What advice would you give to young artists out there trying to make it in the Indian music scene?
It’s hard to say whether it’s harder now or easier now. The one thing I do know is that there is way more competition now than there ever was, but it is also easier than it ever was to get your music out there.  You can be unsigned and literally release music across multiple platforms independently. My advice would be to be authentic, it can really work. © Instagram/Jay Sean 6. A growing debate in the industry is centred around artist-producer relationships and whether producers get enough credit.
Throughout my career, I have always split the song with the producer equally. Without his or her music, I can’t write melodies -and without my melodies and lyrics, there’s no song!  Always best to be fair and do what is right for the sake of the song. I don’t like any bitter feelings or energies around my music. © Instagram/Jay Sean 7. What’s your creative process like? Is it more spontaneous and free-flowing?
I am definitely a freestyler. I don’t ever overthink a song. I go on the vibe and feeling only during the creation period of the song.  Melodies flow freely and I tend to do those first then I will fill in the lyrics depending on what topic the song feels like to me. After the melodies have been laid down, that’s when I do the tweaking. © Instagram/Jay Sean 8. What has your experience been with Triller? Which was your favourite entry among the videos received for the Triller #nakhrechallenge?
There have been so many incredible entries - I have enjoyed lots of them!  Working with Triller is such fun and an excellent way to engage with and interact with fans globally. It is a fun and creative platform. © Instagram/Jay Sean 10. How was your experience collaborating with Rishi Rich?
What I love about us is that no matter how many years have passed, our vibe together and our way of working has remained exactly the same.  We have such chemistry and magic in the way that we bounce off each other musically. We love the same things and disregard the same things. We both know what is the vibe and what’s not, and that’s why it works. 11. What’s the story behind the song Nakhre? Nakhre is a fun, feel-good up-tempo song that sparks nostalgia but feels current and modern at the same time.  Lyrically, it is playful, musically it is truly global, encompassing elements of Reggaeton, Afrobeats, Bollywood, RnB, and Punjabi! It’s is fresh and fun.

Student Went From Failing NEET 2020 To Becoming Topper & It’s Scary How An Error Almost Ruined Him

It's heartbreaking to see kids work so hard for their entrance exams only to not get the score they wanted. It's even sadder when kids start to doubt themselves when it wasn't even their fault, and it was just a technical screw up that made them fail a test they were actually scoring really well on. That's exactly what happened to Mridul Rawat, a 17-year-old from Rajasthan, who ended up virtually failing the NEET 2020 exam after he got back his result.  On October 16th, he got the result that said he had gotten 329 marks out of the maximum marks of 720. © Twitter He was, understandably, distraught as he was completely sure that he had cracked the exam and was sure he was scoring 650 marks out of 720 on the basis of the recorded response sheet and answer key of NEET 2020.
Talking to HT, he said,  "As per my marks in the NTA results, I had virtually failed in NEET 2020 as I would not get any medical college with those marks. I cried and went in depression as I was confident that I will crack NEET with 650 marks but NEET result led to my heartbreak." © Twitter Well, turns out he was right and it was the National Testing Agency (NTA) that had messed up. After challenging the result, he went from basically failing to becoming the All India Topper of Scheduled Tribe category.
What a moment, so happy for him! He went on,  "My parents motivated me after which I challenged the result sheet before NTA on the basis of his recorded response sheet and answer key. My despair turned into delightful surprise today when NTA today accepted its mistake and released the corrected result sheet in which I got 650 marks and was adjudged All India Topper of NEET 2020 in Scheduled Tribe category." © Twitter He probably started second-guessing himself after the first result and just imagine if the poor kid had not gotten to the bottom of it. He would have ended not getting into the career he wanted to and it would be truly devastating.
This was an avoidable mistake, of course, and it's great that Mridul ended up standing up for himself. The lesson here is always believing in yourself, even when someone else accidentally screws you over.

John Abraham's Sneakers Cost Only Rs 1.7K & We Wonder If Any Star Has Ever Worn Shoes So ‘Sasta’

On one hand, we have celebrities like Ranveer Singh and Aparshakti Khurana who are usually seen wearing off-beat, zany outfits and then we have John Abraham, whose outfits are quite basic and casual, making it easy even for us to cop. For him, fashion is comfort and it's his holy grail, as he is usually seen donning a basic T-shirt with joggers and he doesn't forgo of his chappals.  Now that the Bollywood industry has resumed functioning albeit slowly, keeping the pandemic norms in mind, recently, John's new look caught our eye, simply because of his head-to-toe black outfit and secondly, his sneakers. © Viral Bhayani Before we get into the details of his shoes, let's talk about his ensemble first.
© Viral Bhayani Most men dig the black T-shirt and joggers combination as it's a safe bet and doesn't require much work. Here, we see, John, wearing a basic number, paired with track pants by Ecko Unltd. 
For the uninitiated, John is the co-owner of the brand and hence, you would see him wearing versatile styles from the same brand, often. © Asics In his recent appearance, he seemed to have switched up his style choices a bit and we couldn't help but notice his shoes, which were the main highlight of his outfit- the Gel Contend 4B Running Shoes by Asics. 
Even though this pair is pretty basic, it offers exceptional cushioning and has a great fit with its rubber outsole. The heel is comfortable and helps with foot encounters during the running sesh. © Asics These are truly affordable as they retail at Rs 3,499 but are currently available on the official website for as low as Rs 1,749. Yes, that affordable!
We are so used to seeing celebrities wearing outrageous sneakers that are sometimes worth more than the price of an iPhone. These sneakers, on the other hand, are a great choice and a good bargain as well. © Viral Bhayani To sum the look, John wore a black cap and a black mask. Since he is a trying to ace a monochromatic look here, this one is a pretty cool choice for the airport.
In all, it's a stylish way to head out and even though the sneakers may not always be John's first preference, we still wouldn't mind dissecting more such pairs from his wardrobe.

Is Dhoni Risking His Reputation By Not Retiring Sooner? Fans Debate His Decision To Keep Playing

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been one of the most successful cricketers to have led the Indian Cricket Team to great highs. The 2011 World Cup, the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy, the Indian cricket team’s trophy room got stacked under his leadership. He is regarded as the best wicket-keeper the team ever had and he stayed true to his duties as a middle-order batsman who soon came to be known as the ‘Finisher’ for his squad. MS Dhoni announces retirement from international cricket.#Best Indian captain #Best finisher of all time
2007 T20 World Cup☑️
2011 50-50 World Cup☑️
2013. Champion trophy☑️
Miss u captain cool pic.twitter.com/YAk4nbVWk1 — Peeyas Mandal (@PeeyasMandal) August 15, 2020 In the Indian Premier League, Dhoni remained loyal to Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiant when the former franchise was suspended for a couple of years. He’d won three IPL titles and two Champions League titles with the ‘Yellow Army’.  ‘Decision Review System’ quickly became ‘Dhoni Review System’ because of how accurate his understanding of the situation was that often made him go against the umpires’ decision and take the review which would be in his favour nine out of 10 times. pic.twitter.com/7svpMveP1s — CSK hater (@sk_4862) October 17, 2020 The man remained cool as a cucumber under tense situations, the commentators would try to estimate what he’d be thinking when games were on the line, but Dhoni’s ‘poker face’ refused to give away information. Sneaking quick singles, supernatural running between the wickets, crafty means to dismiss opposing batsmen off the pitch and some hilarious commentary wearing the keeper’s gloves that got picked by the stump mics. That was what Dhoni’s legacy was supposed to be. It was supposed to be a big fat happy ending with the character in the lead role riding into the sunset after a mesmerising career, only to be immortalised by the tales of his heroics. Unfortunately, Dhoni, much like some other legendary Men in Blue, continued to come back for more and it is safe to say that the legacy is getting tainted day after day.  When the former Indian skipper played a thundering 113-run innings off 78 balls in the warm-up match against Bangladesh ahead of the 2019 World Cup, fans thought the man had a lot left in his tank.  On This Day in 2019

Dhoni smashed the century in the WorldCup partice match against Bangladesh.

113 Runs
8 Fours
7 Sixes pic.twitter.com/EL3V3HaewH — DHONIsm™ ️ (@DHONIism) May 28, 2020 However, that would be the biggest highlight of the twilight of his career and it came off a friendly match. Since then, Dhoni has been criticised for lack of intent by international players and former teammates alike. He has been called out for not being able to finish the match against New Zealand in the World Cup semi finals. He has been lambasted for creaming his “two-month sabbatical” from the team which lasted for over a year (this is before the coronavirus pandemic hit us). And now he is once against being hammered for the extremely underwhelming performance by CSK during the 2020 season of the Indian Premier League.  Fleming frustrated... Dhoni not responding... Lack of intent is clearly visible. There is something wrong inside #CSK . I have already mentioned that and doing again that there is something wrong inside the #CSK . 2 seniors opted out infact Raina is doing everything expect #IPL — Utkarsh Tripathi (@cric_utkarsh_) October 11, 2020 Ever since the season opener between CSK and reigning champions Mumbai Indians, fans noticed something rather odd about Dhoni’s captaincy. He’d let less experienced players like Sam Curran bat ahead of him and he’d demote himself to the seventh or eighth spot in the batting line-up. After a couple of games, Dhoni said that the long break from the game had taken a toll on him and that the 14-day quarantine in UAE didn’t help him either, and it was the reason why he didn’t bat sooner. Gautam Gambhir lashes out at MS Dhoni for not leading #CSK from the front. #RRvCSK #IPL2020 pic.twitter.com/TgyocoN8l5 — Circle of Cricket (@circleofcricket) September 23, 2020 Former Team Indian athletes like Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag said that Dhoni was failing to lead the team “from the front” and that it looked as if he wasn’t even trying to win games for his franchise. Currently, CSK, the team that made their way all the way up to the IPL final last season, is dead last in the Points Table. They have won one out of their last five matches and with four more games left for them in the regular season, the chances of making it to the playoffs are slim to none. Those who once worshiped the Ranchi-born cricketer have now begun to contemplate whether Dhoni is jeopardizing his reputation by continuing to play cricket on such a high level.  Indeed his achievements as captain and keeper batsman is unmatched. But I feel like ye DHONI ka last season hai.....he should not destroy his reputation more.... Whatever he has achieved would be a dream for current set of players from any country. Sad to say but bye #DHONI — prince rai (@BajrangiBhai8) October 19, 2020Dhoni is risking his reputation like other elite indian cricketers did at the end of career.I think cricketers should learn when to retire or quit else it will spoil whole good things done in lifetime @msdhoni @imVkohli @ImRo45 @hardikpandya7 @yuzi_chahal #MSDBigFan #ThalaMSD — ydf (@chagayafaraz) October 19, 2020There is no point in abusing Jadhav. Even after repeated failures Dhoni is backing him for what? All the reputation and legacy gained over the years has been completely lost in this season all bcoz of Dhoni. #CSKvsRR — Ritul (@ItIsRitul) October 19, 2020Sure, he got himself away from international cricket on Independence Day 2020 and even got a flowery farewell, but to continue to be the captain of such a prestigious organization doesn’t feel like a well-deserving job for him anymore. The question now is, can one year of horrible cricket ruin all the work Dhoni has done for the franchise over the last 12 years? Probably not.  But it is always beneficial for an athlete to accept the fact that they aren’t as good as they used to be once and that it’s be better to retire with fans cheering them on, rather than booing. No?

iPhone 13 Leaks Are Already Here & It Looks One Of The Most Requested Feature Might Make A Return

The iPhone 12 is all set to launch all over the world but it is notable that it doesn’t come with a beloved feature that would have made sense post the COVID-19 breakout.  The iPhone 12 will still use FaceID as the only way to unlock the smartphone using biometric authentication, which is a bit of a hurdle since most of the world wears a mask when stepping out.  It was expected that Apple might include a fingerprint sensor or Touch ID of some sort, since it has been added to the new iPad Air as well. © Unsplash/david-svihovec Now, new leaks have surfaced online for the next iPhone i.e. the iPhone 13, where it is being reported that the phone will have some sort of Touch ID. 
The leak suggests that Apple is looking to either use an under the display fingerprint scanner or it might be embedded on the power button like the new iPad Air.  © Unsplash/filip-baotic Leaker @L0vetodream posted something very cryptic that could only be understood by people familiar with the term. The account posted "MESA uts for iPhone” where MESA refers to Touch ID and “uts” has been abbreviated for under the screen. 
It doesn’t seem like a long shot, especially since Android smartphones have been using this technology for a long time on both flagship and budget devices. However, Apple has opted not to implement this tech in iPhones simply because it isn’t accurate or fast-enough to their standards.  MESA uts for iPhone — 有没有搞措 (@L0vetodream) October 16, 2020 L0vetodream is known to leak accurate information, however, Jon Prosser later commented on his tweet saying the in-display fingerprint reader has a possibility of 50/50.   iPhone 13 (Pro or whatever they call it) wishlist:

- USB-C

- 120Hz display

- in-display fingerprint reader (or in power button)

basically take the great things about iPad Pro / new Air and bring them to iPhone :) — Sam Sheffer (@samsheffer) October 18, 2020 There’s other information that Jon Prosser also revealed in his tweet where he expects the iPhone 13 to come with a 120Hz display as well. 
He also added that Apple will probably never adopt the USB Type-C port on any future iPhones as well.  © Unsplash/filip-baotic It’s prudent to point out that the iPhone 13 is exactly a year away from launching and Apple is known for changing specifications and features. 
Due to this reason, do take these leaks with a pinch of salt as even reliable leakers can get information wrong at such an early stage.

People United To Save 10,000 Trees From Being Cut For Dehradun Airport & It Was A Powerful Sight

At what point will people finally realize that cutting trees is not actually the worst thing that can happen to the environment? No, I genuinely want to know, because it's 2020 and people still have to protest in order to save trees. Come on, now. Reportedly, about 243 acres of forest land will be transferred by the Uttarakhand government to the Airport Authority of India in order to expand Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport.  As of now, the final verdict is pending as the National Wildlife Board has to give approval since the forest falls within a 10 km radius of the Rajaji National Park Eco-Sensitive Zone. © TOI/Twitter If the approval is given, then it would result in over 10,000 trees being chopped down which is obviously devastating for the environment.
Recreating the iconic Chipko Movement, people have come together to protest and save the trees. The power of people! © TOI/Twitter 12-year-old global climate activist Ridhima Pandey said, "We are hell-bent on destroying our ecosystem mercilessly. This is a threat to the whole of mankind. These forests are the source of life. We will be protesting against the felling of trees until the decision is reversed."
© TOI/Twitter People have sworn to protect the trees and will do anything to stop them from getting chopped.

6 TV Shows Similar To ‘Haunting Of Bly Manor’ That Will Cure The Psychological Hangover It Left

It's not every day that we get to watch a tastefully made supernatural, psychologically charged show like Netflix’s latest offering Haunting Of The Bly Manor. 
© Netflix This presumed sequel to the original Haunting Of The Hill House is one of the most awaited shows this year, and rightly so. 
© Reuters Without dishing out any spoilers, here are 6 marvellous shows which will strike a similar vein, in case you are itching to watch more amazing shows like The Bly Manor:
1. The Haunting Of Hill House © Netflix This is supposedly the prequel to Bly Manor, though the plot and characters are not related at all. 
Extremely well directed, this one is surely going to keep you on the edge in case you haven’t watched it till now. A re-run is also not a bad idea, if you ask us. 2. Marianne © Netflix This French series follows a horror novelist who begins to live her own nightmare when the characters sketched by her come to life. 
There is something unnerving about the dead playing characters in a series and this one is sure to spook you in weird ways.  3. American Gothic © Renaissance Pictures A slightly older series on this list but anyone with a penchant for gothic series would probably know about this hit show from the ’90s. 
The plot follows a sheriff whose evil powers enable him to gain major control on his own son. This show also has ghosts playing lead characters like in Bly Manor. 4. Bates Motel © NBC Universal Distribution Another brilliantly made psychological horror drama based in a, as the name suggests, motel. 
After Norman Bates' father dies, he and his mother decide to run a motel. The eventual precarious state of his deteriorating mental health puts both of them in major horrific trouble. 5. The Enfield Haunting © Sky Living The spook count for this one is a notch higher as this is based on true events. 
The story follows a paranormal researcher who tries to uncover what happens to a family that is plagued by supernatural forces in their own residence. 6. Penny Dreadful © Netflix Definitely recommending this one to any and every literature lover out there. 
This wonderfully-made show combines the combined trauma of Dorian Gray, Frankenstein and Dracula.  Like The Bly Manor, this one is also laced with emotions and deep sentimental wounds that dig up from the graves.

Rajkummar’s Dotted Boots May Be Cool, But His Bright Orange Jacket Can Bring Traffic To A Halt

Rajkummar Rao definitely knows how to dress to impress, we have seen him do this a million times. However, if you think that his quirky outfits and zany choices in footwear have stopped grabbing our attention, then, boy, are you wrong.
© Viral Bhayani We have seen Rajkummar wear some of the classiest and elegant boots over the years. In fact, he is one of the few celebrities whose wardrobe consists of some cool and dapper looking boots. Most celebrities, you see, stick to the comfort that sneakers provide.
© Viral Bhayani There was this one time when he wore a pair of suede boots, that were aristocratic and princely, to say the least. And then there was this one instance where he wore a pair of boots from Dior, that legit looked like they were a part of a spacesuit.
© Instagram/rajkummar_rao Well, very recently, Rajkummar wore a pair of leather boots, that looked just like a pair of those rubber gum-boots that one would wear during the monsoon, or in the snow. To say they were interesting would be an understatement actually. The boots, which seem to be from the Italian ateliers of Tod’s -- an Italian luxury leather goods maker, have a rather unique silhouette.
© Viral Bhayani They have a rubber lip-sort of a panel, that doubles up like a striped toe guard.
But by far, the piece that grabbed the most number of eyeballs would be his orange jacket. Saying that it can literally bring traffic to a halt would be an understatement. © Viral Bhayani It legit looks like one of those traffic cones or bollards, and in a very kitschy, cool way. The bright orange colour of the jacket makes it look like a high-visibility jacket. The silver stripes around the jacket, also add to this illusion. This makes the jacket look very technical, and very street worthy, if you ask us.
© Viral Bhayani That is not to say that Rajkummar doesn’t look dope. Rather, he looks rather swell in this orange Wind Breaker from a homegrown brand, Nought One, by Abhishek Patni. The jacket retails for about Rs 15,000 but is currently listed for Rs 7,500.
© Nought One All in all, that’s a dope outfit. Keep ‘em coming, Rajkummar!

Delhi Cop Teaches Underprivileged Kids Who Can’t Join Online Classes & His Efforts Deserve Praise

This year has completely turned our lives upside down and made us all live a 'new normal'. Because of almost everything being shut down since March, it had been a nightmare for kids to keep up with their studies without actually going to school. 
© Reuters This also highlighted the difference between privileged and not so privileged kids and how it directly affects their access to education. 
While a lot of kids had to adjust to online classes, so many more kids were left with no way to continue studies as they didn't have smartphones or laptops.  © Reuters For a few of these underprivileged kids, a constable with Delhi Police became a hero in need and helped them study during the pandemic. 
© ANI/Twitter Than Singh has been running a makeshift school at the Sai Temple at Red Fort parking and made sure no kid is left behind. 
The school has, in fact, been active for a long time, way before the pandemic, and Than Singh has been teaching the children of labourers residing in the area.  Initially, as the lockdown was implemented, the school had been shut down for the safety of the childer but when Than Singh realized that these kids did not have the gadgets to keep up with the online classes, he resumed the classes.  © ANI/Twitter Talking to ANI, he said:
"I have been running this school for a long time but during the start of the pandemic I closed it for children's safety. But, when I saw many students were not able to take online classes, I decided to restart my school because they don't have things like phones and computers."  Making sure everyone's health and safety is a priority, he said:  "I am also providing them sanitizers, masks and we practice social distancing in our class."  © ANI/Twitter While the country is currently so divided on a lot of issues, it's nice to see people looking out for others and helping in any way they can during such a difficult time. 
Kudos to this great man making sure no kid is left behind!

Samsung May Launch The Galaxy S21 Earlier Than Expected And The Reason Makes Sense

Samsung is looking to launch its next Galaxy S flagship smartphones earlier than its usual launch time. The Galaxy S series usually launches between February and March around the world. However, it seems like Samsung doesn’t need to wait any longer. © MensXP_Akshay Bhalla The next Galaxy S21 launch is expected to take place in January 2021 according to website SamMobile. The website follows everything related to Samsung very closely and most of the times have revealed reliable information about Samsung launches in the past. The report claims that the smartphone may even be called the Galaxy S30 and kick off production sometime In December. 
© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla Having said that, Samsung releasing its next flagship phone earlier than usual has a very good reason behind it. The report suggests Samsung is launching the smartphone earlier because of Huawei’s absence from the smartphone ecosystem around the world. Huawei usually launches new devices a month before Samsung and ever since the company has been banned from trading with the US companies, Samsung is looking to take advantage of Huawei’s disadvantage. 
© MensXP_Akshay Bhalla The Galaxy S21 or S30’s design was leaked last week where it showed the press renders of the smartphone. It showed what the smartphone might look like and many Galaxy fans responded negatively. The render was spotted on Chinese certification website 3C and later posted by @OnLeaks on Twitter. The listing also detailed that the smartphone will come with 65W fast-charging capabilities; a 144Hz refresh display and a camera module that looks very awkward. The camera module has a wrap-around design with the body of the phone and a noticeable bump similar to the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
Are you ready for another flagship smartphone by Samsung early next year? Samsung is expected to use the latest Exynos/Qualcomm chipset for the smartphone and bring improvements in the camera performance as well. We aren’t sure about the specifications yet. However, it seems like the new hardware will have noticeable gains in the overall performance.  Source: SamMobile

Skullcandy Indy Fuel Is A Great Budget Pair Of Truly Wireless Earbuds

Skullcandy has been making excellent audio equipment for years now, and the company recently introduced a set of truly wireless earbuds. We've been using their Indy Fuel true wireless earbuds for quite some time now and we think this particular pair of earbuds have a lot going for them. Here's our full review of the Skullcandy Indy Fuel earbuds.

Design & Build Quality

Straight out of the box, the Indy Fuel earbuds won't excite you because of the way it looks. They look like, you know, every other stick-style earbuds in the market. It even comes in a very simple black box that's much bulkier than something like the AirPods Pro. © MensXP/Karthik Iyer Honestly, the whole presentation is very offputting but it at least gets other things right. For starters, we really like the fact that it uses a USB Type-C port for charging instead of micro USB. But we didn't even have to use it to charge this bad boy because it supports wireless charging as well.

There are 4 LED lights to indicate the battery level and charging status of the case. You can simply flip the lid open to get a quick glimpse at the indicator. The lid's hinge feels nice and snappy, although it's worth pointing out that it wasn't giving a full seal unless we applied some pressure to close it properly. © MensXP/Karthik Iyer It's also worth pointing out that the earbuds and the charging case feel like they're made out of cheap plastic. We're not paying a premium price for these earbuds, but we think the build quality could've been better.

Overall, we think Skullcandy could have put in a little bit more effort into making this feel a tad bit premium. It's not bad by any means, but we won't be recommending this to someone who's looking for something that's a bit more sophisticated.

How Do These Fit?

It's often hard to find a pair of earbuds, especially wireless ones, that fit. Well, we're glad that we didn't have any issues with the Indy Fuel when it comes to fit. In fact, we were able to get a snug fit with the Indy Fit. They come with interchangeable silicone tips and ear wings.

We totally love the earbuds that come with these wings because they tend to fit better than the ones that don't have them. You can always remove them if you don't like them. It's all about finding the right combination of ear tips and wings. Once you have a stable fit and a great seal, then you're good to go. © MensXP/Karthik Iyer The Indy Fuel doesn't have noise cancellation unlike some other premium offerings on the market, but we found the noise isolation to be pretty good. Controls and Features

The Indy Fuel earbuds come with capacitive touch controls and here's a set of controls that you get  -

Single tap: Volume up (right); Volume down (left)
Double-tap: Play/Pause or answer/end calls
Triple tap: Digital assistant
Tap + tap and hold: Toggle ambient mode
Double-tap + tap and hold: EQ Mode

These controls work flawlessly and they're very reliable. You also get a companion app on both iOS as well as Android to check out the features of the earbuds. We'd like to mention that the Indy Fuel comes with built-in Tile tracking. It's an awesome feature to have considering the fact that these are very easy to lose.

Sound Quality

The Skullcandy Indy Fuel sounds great, especially for the price. Of course, these aren't the best sounding pair of earbuds out there on the market. There are other expensive options out there for that. But these are certainly great for the price.

They have a good balance between the most common frequencies with nice defined bass. Treble is sharp without being shrill, although it's worth pointing out that these are more mid-heavy. There's no EQ in the app, by the way, so you're stuck with the profile you get. Overall, the sound quality is great for the price.

© MensXP/Karthik Iyer
Battery Life

In terms of battery life, we were able to get around 4 hours of battery life and an additional 3 charges from the case. It's on par with what you'd get with most wireless earbuds on the market. We also like the charging case support wireless charging, making it very convenient.

The Final Say

The Skullcandy Indy Fuel is priced at Rs 6,999 in India and at that price, we think they're really good. The design and the build quality could've been better. But the audio quality is pretty good and you also get features like Tile tracking, wireless charging, and more. You can buy them from Skullcandy's official website.

While many of us have the privilege of working from home, the Covid warriors which include our doctors, medical staff, ambulance drivers and literally everyone who has been on the move since March have no option of resting or even taking a break for their own good.

Yuvraj Singh Deems Mumbai-Punjab 'Super Overs' Thriller Better Than 2019 World Cup Final

Exciting, breath-taking, nerve-wracking, entertaining or spectacular? We are literally running out of words to describe the thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite not being played in front of a vociferous Indian crowd, IPL 2020, on the back of thrilling contests so far, is keeping everyone entertained and has undeniably proved to be one of its best installments over the years. From great batting performances, spectacular fielding efforts, majestic bowling spells to nail-biting finishes, the ongoing tournament has done more than enough to satiate the thirst of cricket-crazy fans across the globe. It is the surprise element of this year's tournament that has really captured the imagination of fans. Just when you think you've seen it all, IPL 2020 has successfully managed to surprise everyone. Last Sunday was a testimony to IPL 2020's ability to sweep its fans off their feet. On a day of dramatic run-chases, IPL 2020 saw, not one, not two, but three staggering 'Super Over' contests.
© Twitter/@IPL It all began with Kolkata Knight Riders' triumph over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) who, despite tying the score, couldn't overcome the brilliance of Lockie Ferguson in the 'Super Over'. While cricket fans were probably hungover with a tense finish to the game, IPL 2020 threw another cracker of a contest that left everyone speechless in the end.

The second match of the day saw Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) matching the total of 176 runs posted by Mumbai Indians (MI). The game, quite understandably, went into the 'Super Over' decider where both the teams once again saw their scores getting tied. A second 'Super Over' contest, third of the day, came to fore and eventually the likes of Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal got Punjab over the line.
© Twitter/@IPL While the thrilling win undoubtedly proved critical for Punjab who are struggling to stay alive in the competition, the turn of events on Sunday left every fan elated and gasping for their breath. The feeling was quite mutual amongst former cricketers and pundits including the likes of Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag.
Was the World Cup final of 2019 a beter game or #mivskxip ? Unbelievable scenes today #ipl is here to stay Amazing effort by both teams @Jaspritbumrah93 game changer for @mipaltan and @klrahul11 for Punjab great finish world boss @henrygayle @mayankcricket #IPL2020 #supersunday — Yuvraj Singh (@YUVSTRONG12) October 18, 2020 
  Yuvraj, who was earlier part of the Mumbai Indians franchise, compared the second match of the day with the 2019 World Cup final before deeming the former better. "Was the World Cup final of 2019 a better game or #mivskxip ? Unbelievable scenes today #ipl is here to stay  Amazing effort by both teams @Jaspritbumrah93 game changer for @mipaltan and @klrahul11 for Punjab great finish world boss @henrygayle @mayankcricket #IPL2020 #supersunday," Yuvi tweeted.  
Din Ek, Super over Do.
Bahut Nainsaafi hai.

The best thing of 2020, the Indian Premier League for a reason. #MIvsKXIP — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) October 18, 2020
 On the other hand, Sehwag also shared his excitement surrounding the two cracking games before eventually calling IPL 2020 the best thing to happen in the year 2020. "Din Ek, Super over Do. Bahut Nainsaafi hai. The best thing of 2020, the Indian Premier League for a reason. #MIvsKXIP," Sehwag tweeted.

Well, if this is the state of affairs in the league stage, we can't even begin to think what is going to happen in the Playoffs. And, that's the charm of IPL. The advent of T20 cricket might have given birth to numerous leagues across the globe, but there is a reason why IPL is arguably the biggest and most popular of them all. And, the ongoing season is a befitting testimony to that claim.

Rajkummar & Abhishek’s 'Ludo' Trailer Is A Complete Entertainment Package

From star kids to the actors who don’t have any filmy backgrounds, Anurag Basu’s Ludo is a perfect example of how nepotism can co-exist. Featuring an ensemble cast of Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao, Aditya Roy Kapur, Pankaj Tripathi, Sanya Malhotra, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Asha Negi, and Rohit Saraf, the Netflix’s new offering follows the template of Basu's hit 2007 film, Life In A... Metro, and has four different stories that will somewhere meet at a junction and every character will intersect with each other at some point in time. Netflix’s summary for Ludo reads: “Ludo is about the butterfly effect and how, despite all the chaos and crowd of the world, all our lives are inextricably connected. Starring an amazing ensemble cast of Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Rohit Saraf, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Pearle Maaney, Inayat Verma, Asha Negi, and Shalini Vats, Ludo is four different stories tied together by unavoidable circumstances.” Here’s the trailer: 

In this three minutes long trailer, Abhishek is seen playing the role of a kidnapper who probably hasn’t done a perfect kidnapping ever. He calls a man to ask for ransom in return for his kidnapped daughter. Then, you also meet Rajkummar who’s a lover and is approached by his long lost love Fatima Sana Shaikh, to help in escaping her husband from the jail. Now, this is a twist in Rajkummar’s life and then, things go downhill. Aditya Roy Kapur and Sanya Malhotra are in another corner of the city and show how couples in metropolitan cities have different viewpoints. You also get to meet Pankaj Tripathi who’s an assassin but there’s a twist here too.
People are loving the trailer and are calling it an entertainment package.
Excited to watch Bittu and his daughter's story @juniorbachchan , your character in #Ludo reminds us of Yuva's Lallan really looking forward to watching your performance on another OTT platform after Breathe all the best @NetflixIndia#LudoTrailer #LudoOnNetflix https://t.co/DTEtDmhN6Y pic.twitter.com/VYQ2EGaTq7 — Neha Mishra (@NehaMishra95) October 19, 2020Looking forward to #Ludo!

It’s a crazy fun ride. It’s a ride just like ludo. There are 4 stories. 4 gotiyan hain apko pata nahi ki kon kisko kab kaategi. All are so interconnected. We had a great time. It has dark humour, romance, and crime. All the stars have done a brilliant job, be it Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek, or Aditya. Aditya Roy Kapoor is a big surprise; he surprised the whole unit actually. Abhishek Bachchan is back with a bang.”

Directed by Anurag Basu, Ludo is set to release on Netflix on November 12.

Mathew McConaughey Shared Sad Details About How His Dad Died During Sex

Death is a sad reality with no escape and talking about the death of a loved one, especially your parents is never an easy conversation to have. Actor Matthew McConaughey recently opened up about some private details about his family life in his newly released memoir titled Greenlights.
© Instagram In an interview, McConaughey spoke about the sad demise of his late father. His dad, James Donald apparently died due to a cardiac arrest which happened while he was having sex with his mother. "I got a call from my Mom. 'Your dad died.' My knees buckled. I couldn't believe it. He was my dad. Nobody or nothing could kill him. Except mom. He'd always told me and my brothers, 'Boys, when I go, I'm gonna be makin' love to your mother'. And that's what happened. He had a heart attack when he climaxed," McConaughey said in the interview.
James died back in 1992 and he happened to marry his mother Kay three times after having a super rocky relationship. "They were, at times, violent. As I say in the book, that is how they communicated. They were divorced twice, married three times, I mean, yeah, it was like the Pacific Ocean in a storm”, he explained. © Twitter This is probably a very strange and a unique set of circumstances of how a relationship paved out for his parents. Probably the best thing about this rocky terrain is that they both eventually found each other in the end until his father’s untimely demise. Hope his soul rests in peace.

Yes, you read that right! pic.twitter.com/7bAvO1IjjL — Dhinchakpooja (@DhinchakPooja) October 15, 2020 The song was released on Youtube and the lyrics go as  “Subah uthte hain hum, brush karte hain hum. Phir khaate hain hum, phir jaate hain hum. Chai banaate hain hum, usse peete hain hum. Nahate hain hum, phir taiyyar hote hain hum.” Also, in the song’s video, you can see Dhinchak Pooja enacting every line of the song and you need to watch it to understand what we are trying to tell you.

5 Bollywood Movies That Gave Everyone Unrealistic Expectations About College

Okay, I get it that Bollywood has to show everything to be dramatic and over the top but sometimes their tropes cross over the line to become so unrealistic, you just have to laugh at it. When it comes to schools and colleges being portrayed in movies, it almost feels like not a single person who worked on these movies has ever seen a real place of education. Everything is so out of touch and absolutely unrealistic, and people breaking into a song at any moment is not even the biggest point. So, here are some movies that gave a lot of false hope to people about how colleges are supposed to be. 1. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai © Yash Raj Films Of course, this takes the top spot. From the colourful interiors of the college to every girl having a crush on one guy in the entire college, this movie's college was something else.
Moreover, which teacher is discussing love with her students in class? That has never happened in the history of education. Moreover, how are you going to bully the new girl by making her sing 'Om Jai Jagdish'. It was just there to show 'sanskaari' Tina is and that's why Rahul will fall in love with her, not tomboy Anjali. 2. Main Hoon Na © Red Chillies Entertainment Yes, every college student starts off their day by singing and dancing with the entire college, that is something that most definitely happens.
And, whenever one student makes a bet with another student, that too over a girl, everyone will gather with big ass posters to cheer them stupidly running on the roof of the college, even the teacher and the principal. Totally normal. © Red Chillies Entertainment Also, if I'm remembering correctly, who gave Lakshman permission to smoke on the college campus? Uhh, that's one way to get suspended. And, while talking about Lucky, if he's such a bad student that he's been in college for years, who gave him admission in a science course?
3. 2 States © Dharma Productions It's completely normal for your girlfriend to live in your room in a freaking hostel, all the teachers will be okay with it, for sure.
© Dharma Productions Yep, the most unrealistic thing is this movie isn't that Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor are dating, it's how no one cares how students are living in the hostel.
4. Mohabbatein © Yash Raj Films I get the whole extremely strict principal narrative, but come on, how are they keeping track of students and their relationships?
© Yash Raj Films Instead of actually studying, students are just learning how to 'love' in college. Feeling for the parents paying so much money to send their kids to this prestigious institute.
5. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na © Aamir Khan Productions No, when your cat dies, the entire college won't come together to sing and dance for you to cheer you up.
But, besides that, it's very unrealistic to believe that you'll find your soulmate in college and it'll turn out to be your best friend. Not saying that it doesn't happen, but way too rare. © Aamir Khan Productions Moreover, all of them finished their college in the beginning of the movie and just didn't do anything after that, no job, no internship. Just finding boyfriends and girlfriends for your best friends.
