Having A Rough Day? These 10 Comedy Shows On Netflix Will Definitely Make You Laugh

Imagine having a really rough day at work and not really knowing how to unwind. It's usually believed that a good dose of visual entertainment is a viable cure for bad days, in modern times. So if you have the opportunity and the resources, why not use them to unwind, relax and have a few laughs. Netflix has a fine selection of some rather eclectic comedy and there's a lot to tickle your funny bone, the one that you seldom use, while living a tough routine. So, the next time you feel wired and extremely wound up, maybe cue the following from Netflix and literally just 'chill' the hell out! 1. 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' © NBCUniversal Television Distribution The show will have you in splits just by the sheer characterization and a complete mockery of the Brooklyn Police station.

'Santa Clarita Diet' © Netflix The show is all about guts and gore but it's also hilarious! And why shouldn't it be?

'Master Of None' © Netflix Master Of None is a subtle take on Aziz Ansari's real life struggles in the city of New York. The original Netflix series written by Ansari and Alan Yang revolves around a guy (Dev) and his way of life, while he's struggling to become an actor in the big bad city.

Of course you do, the show was a classic. Well, Jerry Seinfield is back with his own show on Netflix, where he picks out some fine comedians, takes them for a ride in vintage cars and has coffee with them, while having the funniest of conversations. The show is a hoot and a half and some episodes are definitely worth a watch! 9. 'Dear White People' © Netflix This Netflix orignal series has shades of funny but is actually about a serious issue that stemmed from the backbone of America's dark history and it continues to plague the present. A group of students of colour at Winchester University are faced with a cultural biases and social injustice at a predominantly white Ivy League college. The show uses humour, irony and some amount of brutal honesty to highlight the 'post-racial' society that exists today. Watch the trailer here 10.

Netflix's fine pick of some of the best stand-up comedy act in America is a great way to end the day with. Watch the trailer here Buffer your favourite comedy right about now and give yourself a good laugh. You truly deserve it!

Sohail Khan's T-Shirt Is The Sexiest Tee According To Every Girl In The World

Some things in life are simple remarkable. They're great the way they are, people love the sight of them them and well the women too, find them sexy. Formally known as suits, henley T-shirts, leather jackets — we're referring to pieces of apparel that once worn, make a man irresistibly sexy. They may not be the most sought-after pieces to own, but they're iconic and men love them. They're important pieces of style. Today, however, let's hit the spotlight on one such sexy-in-an-instant piece — the raglan sleeve, baseball T-shirt. Visually seen as tees with colour-blocked sleeves, raglan T-shirts are honestly, one of the sexiest sights ever seen on the male race, according to women (go ask a few?). Plus, for men, these are the T-shirts to put your guns on display. Point being, though Sohail Khan's married and doesn't need the girls in his yard, he's hell-bent on being a magnet anyway. Spotted recently in a raglan sleeve T-shirt paired with sweatpants and dad-like trainers — he just shot a fireball-arrow with this outfit: © Viral Bhayani However, here's the thing: raglan sleeve T-shirts are in plenty in the world. You can pick, wear and flaunt your weight-training expertise in public. But remember, don't get lazy and pick without a visit to the trial room. Loose, lousy fits of raglan T-shirts can in fact, also make you look clowny and maybe not even flatter your guns at all. Only the right fit, will enhance those biceps and ensure the girls attract, quick. © Viral Bhayani But as opposed to Sohail's vibe here, you may or may not opt for almost in-bed feels with your choice in separates. Instead of sweatpants, opt for slim-fit jeans and replace the trainers with sneakers. In no time, would your ensemble come to a girl's notice and you'd find action, in multiples. And well, to save you the effort too, here are 3 raglan T-shirts you can cop right away: 1. Gritstones Grey Full Sleeve Round Neck Raglan T-shirt © Amazon India Price: Rs. 399 Buy it here! 2. Bewakoof Men's Cotton Long Line T-Shirt © Amazon India Price: Rs. 549 Buy it here! 3. Elepants Men's Solid full Sleeves Raglan T-shirt © Amazon India Price: Rs. 375 Buy it here!

The Weird Findings Of Angry YouTube Shooter Nasim Aghdam's Social Media Accounts

Imposing self-portraits, vegan music videos, workouts and parodies, the YouTube account and personal website of disgruntled shooter Nasim Aghdam is bizarre, to say the least. © nasimesabz Nasim Aghdam opened fire at YouTube's headquarters in California, injuring three people before shooting herself dead. Reportedly, she was unhappy with YouTube's new policy that drastically reduced the monetary compensation from ad revenues. A website associated with Nasim Aghdam gives insight into the mind of the youtube shooter. © nasimesabz “BE AWARE! Dictatorship exists in all countries but with different tactics! They only care for personal short-term profits & do anything to reach their goals even by fooling simple-minded people, hiding the truth, manipulating science & everything, putting public mental & physical health at risk, abusing non-human animals, polluting environment, destroying family values, promoting materialism & sexual degeneration in the name of freedom & turning people into programmed robots!,” she wrote on the website nasimesabz.com. "Make the lie big, Make it simple, Keep saying it, And eventually they will believe it," she wrote quoting Adolf Hitler. “There is no free speech in real world & you will be suppressed for telling the truth that is not supported by the system. Videos of targeted users are filtered & merely relegated, so that people can hardly see their videos,” she wrote further. © nasimesabz “There is no equal growth opportunity on YOUTUBE or any other video sharing site, your channel will grow if they want to,” Nasim wrote in resignation. And that's not all. Among other things, Nasim was an animal rights activist and had been quoted by the San Diego Union-Tribune about a protest by PETA against the use of pigs in the army. "For me, animal rights equal human rights," Aghdam told the Union-Tribune at the time. On her website too, Nasim had posted videos of Chinese fur farms and pet dogs being boiled alive. © nasimesabz Although YouTube's policy was uniformly rolled out for content creators around the world, Nasim was paranoid that she was being specifically targeted by because she was vegan. She even shared a video titled 'I'm being censored. Youtube's war against vegans'. Another poster on the website show a nail in her car wheel with this caption: “My car attacked by anti-vegan criminals trying to harm/kill me because of animal rights awakening stickers on my car.” © nasimesabz Amongst these jarring images of animal cruelty and music video parodies, Nasim posted photoshopped pictures of herself with lions, hens, and rabbits. © nasimesabz Although the true state of her mind can never be known, the website sure does show an incredibly frustrated soul struggling with paranoia and living in fear.

4 Horrific Mistakes That Ruin The Whole Process Of Fat Loss

Bro science is basically 'word-of-mouth' knowledge passed off as a fact, primarily amongst novice bodybuilders. Generally spouted most by guys who have used loads of steroids and are huge but have no idea what is happening to their bodies. They live under the false assumption that their experience means they have knowledge. Well, not an oxford dictionary definition but let's accept the fact that each one of us falls for the bro science when we first start dieting. © Thinkstock/Getty Images So, here I am trying to save you from the mistakes I did when I first started dieting. Please beware of these: 1. Eating Too Little Calories A 200 lbs man eating just 1000 kilo calories per day and training like hell in the gym, guess how it resulted for me? Not good. Maybe you'll lose 1-1.5 kilos in a week but that's it, you'll give up on the diet, thinking you are doomed to stay fat, going on the cycle of binge eating, gaining more weight than you eventually lost. Don't do this. You don't need to cut calories too much to lose weight. 2. Following A Trending Fad Diet © Thinkstock/Getty Images A diet which asks you to eliminate certain food groups or eat only a limited list of food items isn't a sustainable diet. You might lose weight but only to regain it soon after. Rather eat a diet which has all the three macros (protein, carbs and fats) and you can stick with it for a long term. Following a diet is like getting a tattoo done. If you can't stick with it for a long term, do not follow it. And put that disgusting Kale down, you don't need to eat it to lose weight. 3. Overdoing Cardio Doing cardio helps in losing weight but it isn't the best thing to do. Rather do a mix of weight training and cardio if you want to lose weight and achieve your dream body. So next time you hit the gym, pick up those weights and walk past that treadmill. Not only this will help you lose weight but will also make you stronger. 4. Fat Burners/Supplements Popping in a pill to burn the fat every morning because duh, Mr. Abs said so! The pill will start a furnace in your body and literally melt all the fat along with your insecurities. The only thing is that the furnace will never start. Nothing will melt away other than your hard-earned cash. There are 100s of pills available in market claiming to burn fat but none of them do so. Make diet your priority, stay in calories deficit to lose fat. Conclusion: Do not make these mistakes and waste your time. Instead, stick to the basics and stay consistent. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.

8 Ways Rich People Think Differently When It Comes To Money

If you take a moment to notice, you will see that in schools we were never told how to make money. To be more precise, we were given no lessons on financial literacy and how crucial it becomes when we grow up. We were taught an array of subjects, but never how things work with money. Well, here are a few fundamentals that the rich and successful follow in order to build their wealth and they can easily be implemented in your daily lives. 1. Money Is Freedom, Not An Evil Poor people think money is evil and can corrupt people. Well, money is everything you want it to be. You can think of it as a liberating idea with which you can travel the whole world, or you may see it as a culprit igniting materialistic desires in you. The choice is yours as you have to make it work in your favor. 2. Save First & Pay Your Bills Later When rich people get their monthly paycheck, first they save a certain portion of their money and then spend what is left. On the other hand, those who do not save well, function on a hand-to-mouth basis. Which basically means spending everything they have on frivolous items and then struggle to pay their bills at the end of the month. It's a vicious cycle, that can be broken, with some amount of determination. 3. Money Should Make More Money © AZ Quotes No one got super rich working their whole life under someone else. If this was the law of nature then most of us and every factory worker would have been pretty rich. The rich know that they must make their money work for them, even while they are sleeping. How? By investing their money. The thing is to make your money work for you. 4. Patience And Long-Term Investments Go Hand In Hand The common man seems short of patience when it comes to investing money for a long period. What I mean by a long period here, is a duration that can go above 10 years or so. The rich have the patience and control over their short-term urges to spend money on anything and everything that comes their way. If you have a private job, then saving for your retirement plan in your 20's is a sign that you are on the right track. 5. Convincing Others To Invest In You Is An Art To Master Rich people think they have to convince others to invest money in them, while the common man thinks he has to use his own money to get anywhere. Now, you may think that any debt is a bad debt. Well, there are both good and bad debts. If you buy an asset with that debt, then it could be good and if you buy a liability then it could be a bad debt. It all depends on what you spend your money on. 6. Delegation Means More Time Which Means More Ideas & More Time To Make Money Most people are of the opinion that they are alone in this and need to work for hours to earn more, while the rich often work in teams. They build trust and delegate the work to their teams. Take any company for instance. The boss delegates the work to his manager, accountant, CTO and so on, so that he has enough time to look for new opportunities to expand his business. That's it. Delegation is the key. 7. Living Below Your Means Is Possible © AZ Quotes If you have the patience to buy a car until you have enough saved for it, instead of just going for it with a 5 year EMI, then you know how to live below your means. It is not necessary to eat out every day, drink every week, or go shopping every month. Most folks think they can spend their money on whatever they feel like, even when they do not need it. However, the rich spend their money logically. They focus on saving and investing rather than buying material things. 8. You Don't Need To Have A Great Idea, Being Good Is Enough Most regular people think they need to have a super smart idea to get rake in the money. While the rich think they need to combine their few good ideas, some of their average skills and work with like-minded people to make things work. They do not wait to be great, they just start wherever they are and with whatever they have.

AIADMK Cadres Took A Biryani & Alcohol Lunch Break During Their One-Day Hunger Strike

Hunger strike literally means not eating or drinking while demonstrating a peaceful protest. That's simple enough, right? Well, I had to explain it because it's apparently not and I hate saying this cliché but seems like 'common sense is not that common anymore', and hence the definition. And, who is this explanation mainly directed towards? It's the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). AIADMK decided to go on a one-day hunger strike as a way of putting pressure on the Centre to set up the Cauvery Management board. Seems like a normal way to protest, and moreover one day protest is not even that hard. © Twitter But, turns out none of the protestors actually tried to look up what a hunger strike entails. The fast was supposed to be from 8am to 5pm yesterday, which is such an easy task. People can have breakfast before 8 and then just have to last till 5 and then can even have dinner after. But no, people don't have self-control; during the protest, the party cadres in districts like Vellore, Coimbatore and Salem were seen gorging on Biryani followed by consumption of liquor. Lunch break during a hunger strike – the words that didn't belong together. © Twitter Reportedly, the entire cabinet of AIADMK took part in this 'hunger strike', with ministers and other leaders driving the protest in districts across Tamil Nadu. I don't know who captured these hilarious pictures, but we should be forever grateful to them. What an expose! © Twitter Maybe they were trying their hardest, but just couldn't say no to biryani. Moreover, they were having a whole party; along with biryani, they also had alcohol, now this is the kind of party I would like to be invited to.

Forget Data Privacy, Facial Recognition Might Be A Bigger Security Threat In Future

It's been around for a long time but face recognition tech didn't really capture the public's imagination till Apple launched FaceID on the new iPhone X. On the face of it, it all seems rather simple - in a nutshell, your phone decides if it's really you by scanning your face in 3D. But the current-gen tech (from Apple, Microsoft, and other tech giants) is anything but simple - it's taken us decades to get to this point, and it's vastly better than what we had till a few years ago. At the same time, there's a lot more here at stake, than ease of use, for all you people who are too indolent to enter PINs and passwords - face recognition tech (and its cousin - gait analysis) can have serious privacy implications. The Tech Behind Facial Recognition © Pinterest The most famous example, of course, is the iPhone X. Its bezel-less display and slim profile meant Apple didn't have enough space to put in a fingerprint sensor. And of course, as smartphone buyers tend to fall into the 'quick, show us something shiny before we fall out of love with your brand' school of consumerism, Apple introduced FaceID. And credit to Apple, FaceID does seem impressive - a fancy depth-sensing camera makes this happen, pretty much seamlessly, in Apple's own words, by 'projecting and analysing over 30,000 invisible dots to create a depth map of your face and also captures an infrared image of your face'. According to Apple, FaceID is more secure than TouchID, with the probability a random person could unlock your new iPhone going down to 1 in 100,000, from 1 in 50,000. Then there's Microsoft Hello, which also uses depth and infrared sensing tech (usually Intel RealSense) to scan your face (depending on your device, fingerprint and iris scanning might be other options). And we're sure you've come across Facebook and Google Photos' auto-tagging features that do a pretty good (and scary, if you're a privacy freak) job of identifying people in photos. Facial Recognition Still Isn't Perfect © Pinterest Of course, there are bugs - previous-gen facial recognition tech had trouble differentiating between people and their photos (a problem mostly solved by using depth sensing and infrared cameras). Then there was the uncomfortable issue of race - minorities and non-white people have often reported loads of issues - from misidentification to being 'invisible'. And these issues haven't gone away completely. Many users in China have complained that Apple's FaceID is often being unable to tell the difference between family members, other tests have shown it won't really protect you against your twin (better hope your twin's not too evil), while Vietnamese security company Bkav has demonstrated it's even possible to fool Apple's tech using a homemade mask. Of course, no tech's perfect and facial recognition tech will only get better with every generation, but it's something you need to be aware of if you use it to secure your phone or laptop - nothing's still as secure as a proper password or even a PIN! Big Brother Loves Facial Recognition © Pinterest It's an old trope, but it's true - the trade-off for ease of use is usually a lack of security, or lowered privacy. But as facial recognition tech improves, it'll get more secure, and at the same time, it could really become a privacy headache. In fact, law enforcement agencies the world over have long been using facial recognition to track suspects. In the US, local and federal law enforcement have been utilising facial recognition to identify suspects, while in China, even people accused of minor crimes have been tracked using this tech. In Russia, it's been used to identify people at protests, and a year or so ago, a developer even launched a controversial app that could cross-check people in your photos against social networking profiles. Meanwhile, researchers are also moving ahead with gait recognition, which uses the way we walk as a unique identifier. This might seem rather far-fetched, but while even a minimal disguise can fool a facial recognition system, we can't really change the way we walk - and certainly not for extended periods of time! While you might say that law enforcement or government usage of facial recognition isn't much of a concern as you'd never break the law, keep these facts in mind - a future authoritarian government might not be too concerned with the niceties of law; and what happens if there's a data breach? © Pinterest Many citizens, tech gurus, and privacy activists have raised concerns of how undemocratic regimes, stalkers, and criminals could take advantage of facial recognition tech. But the real threat could be far more subtle and insidious than an evil dictator's minions chasing you! It's the commercialisation of this tech that could be a greater headache. Imagine a future where facial recognition is commonplace, with retailers tracking your face and even analysing emotions to see what you feel about their products, and adjusting prices accordingly; Or a stadium not allowing you inside as you've been identified as a very vocal fan; Or perhaps someone launches an app that lets anyone track what you've been doing by analysing public images or even those from poorly secured CCTV cameras? Just like with any other technology that's become affordable enough to become commonplace, we'll see the bad come along with the good. And with AI and machine learning becoming more powerful with each passing day, we can also expect to see new uses of facial recognition tech that we wouldn't have imagined!

16 Things About Disha Patani That Will Further Intensify Your Crush On Her

Disha Patani has made her mark as a total heartthrob and since the time she made her debut in the MS Dhoni biopic, she has become a common name. From her smile to her vibes to her moves, she is literally killing it. Turns out, impressing her is not that easy. You really need to be something to get to her heart and her attention. Here's everything you should know about her if you ever get a chance to have a conversation with her. P.S. Avoid compliments! 1. The Real Pronunciation Of Her Name (c) Twitter Well, pronouncing her name can be a task and many of us make that mistake. But let us tell you it's not pronounced the way it's spelled. It's like “Paatni” so maybe you would want to avoid saying 'paat-aa-ni'. 2. A Fitness Freak © Instagram Her mantra is simple, she loves to work out and stay fit. Not that we ever had a doubt about it looking at her awesome AF bod! 3. You Have Seen Her Before © Instagram MS Dhoni wasn't the first time you saw her. Runner Up of Miss India 2013, she appeared in the famous Cadbury advertisement. And many were wondering who was that cute girl in the video, anyways now we just know! 4. A Strong No To Seafood © Instagram Not very fond of seafood, Disha loves chicken and mutton. However, she thinks fish are her friend and believes they are just too cute to eat! 5. A Beach Baby © Instagram Her Instagram is filled with photos of the beach, so you just know where to take her on a vacation. Only if you are lucky enough to take her out :P 6. Her Favourite Actors © Instagram Just like many others, Ranbir Singh rules her heart. Also, she considers Priyanka Chopra her role model and loved both the actors in 'Barfi'. You never know we might see her working with one of them soon. 7. Prefers Action Packed Role Over Being A Leading Lady © Instagram Disha's choices of roles are pretty different than that of yours. While most actresses would die to play a leading lady in a movie, Disha, on the other hand, would love being an action star. She grew up watching action movies and would often practice Kung Fu while watching it. That's pretty cool we must accept. 8. Guilty Pleasure © Instagram Don't we all have one? For Disha, it is her sweet craving. The stunning diva can eat 10 scoops of ice-cream at once and binge on an M&M's bag at the same time. However, she avoids indulging in such guilty pleasures and sticks to her diet and workout regime. 9. Driving Is Her Thing © Instagram When not doing much, she loves to drive. You might often see her driving with her friends and enjoying life. 10. Her Family © Instagram Daughter of a police officer, Disha is quite close to her family. Her mom is a homemaker and has an elder sister Khushboo and a younger brother Suryansh. 11. Beauty With Brains © Instagram Disha did her Bachelors of Technology in of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering from Amity University, Lucknow. She was also the head girl of her school. That's a complete package we must say. 12. Her First Break © Instagram In 2015 she got her first movie break in Telugu movie 'Loafer' opposite Varun Tej directed by Puri Jagannath 13. Not Fond Of Compliments © Instagram While most of the girls love compliments, she ain't one of them. In fact, she gets very awkward when someone praises her and feels they are untrue. So just stop slamming her pictures with one! 14. A Huge Beyonce Fan © Instagram She is a devotee of the Queen B and her powerful numbers. 15. Was The First Choice For 'Baaghi' © Instagram Though the second part of the franchise fell in her lap, the makers actually offered her the lead role even in the first part. However, later Shraddha Kapoor replaced her. 16. Jackie Chan's Gift © Instagram During the initial part of her career, she worked with global star Jackie Chan in the movie 'Kung Fu Yoga'. It is believed that Jackie was so impressed with her fitness and workout regime that he actually gifted her a personalised jacket with his name on it.

An 'Indian' Joke On Arranged Marriages Is Trending On Reddit & The Reactions Are Cracking Us Up

From chicken tikka and Punjabi songs to Virat Kohli and Deepika Padukone, we Indians are obsessed with a lot of things. But one of our strongest obsessions, rather of our mothers, is marriage. As soon as you cross the ripe age of 25, everyone around you starts looking at you as a potential groom or bride. God forbid if you stay unmarried till 30, you become the family's favourite tragic movie. And mind you, we don't marry just about anybody. We marry through a list of carefully selected Sharmaji ka betas and betis. While IITs and IIMs come at the top of the marriage market pyramid, doctors and CAs are not far behind. And our mummijis and chachis and mamis are forever on the lookout for any prospective Sharmaji ka beta/beti they could coax into marrying their children. An 'Indian' joke trending on Reddit just nailed this obsession of ours. A nice Indian woman gets up mid-flight to the US and shouts "Is there a doctor here?" A nice, serious guy approaches her quickly and tells her: "I am. What is the problem?" She replies: "Do you want to meet my daughter?" ð¤£ð¤£ð¤£ r/jokes — Ezio (@anjum_meer) April 2, 2018 If you are a twenty-something living in India, this joke will hit you hard and you will wonder whether to laugh or cry. As if this was not funny enough, the reactions of Redditors just added much needed pista on this shaadi ka ladoo. Beta, what's your gotra? Do you eat non-veg on Tuesdays? What's the use of a degree if you can't flaunt it? There is some serious competition No one wants writers *Wipes a stray tear* Beta, do you have kids? Umm, what's your salary package? Unless…her daughter likes women *sly grin* You know nothing, Jon Snow, our arranged marriage system is so foolproof no one can end up as lonely and single. Even if you want to. Ha! H/t – Reddit

How To Repeat Clothes (Without People Noticing It), Explains Ishaan Khatter

Modern-Indian prints enthusiast and Shahid Kapoor's younger brother, Ishaan Khatter's been quite high lately. Talk of movie releases, paparazzi moments and his well-hydrated curls — there's no ball that's not in his court. Obviously, because of his A-list brother and Khatter's inherited badassery is already a topic of conversation in famous and ordinary circles. Yet, even in his moments of some major spotlight, the actor's playing it super cool; repeating pieces of apparel like a country-famous style maven. If you're in any way, following the actor's menswear history, Khatter's obsession with rather, cultural/tribal Indian prints would be a piece of info at the back of your head. In no way, you'd see the guy as a hypebeast or as one who's trying to be one. Yet, he wears some seriously dope sneakers and puts forward a medley of outfits, that you probably haven't seen before. But most importantly, let's learn the trick of repeating a shirt (without making it look like you never did), courtesy: Ishaan Khatter: © Viral Bhayani We're taking the above shirt as an example today. This shirt that Ishaan's wearing here, has been paired with chinos and ankle-length boots. And quite evidently, the actor has stuck to a very earthy palette with this one. He's almost gone tone-on-tone with most of his outfit, with only the shirt bearing a few more neutral colours. By doing so, he's made the top-half the star of this outfit and with the slight help from his low-heeled boots, brought a lot of elevation to his frame. Though, he's kept things simple, Ishaan went for a master stroke-worthy move here. That said, considering it's such a striking shirt, how does one repeat it? Khatter shows you just how to do that: © Viral Bhayani Being the clever menswear maverick that he is (plus a safe one), Khatter opted for some print-on-print play here. While his primary piece is a relaxed-fit printed kurta, he's topped it off with another printed shirt (the one he treated like a loner, earlier). However, what's to notice is that he traded his boots for Nike tri-toned sneakers here and turned to dark-washed jeans. Without any surprises, he kept his staple mop intact and appeared quite at ease. Agreed, print-on-print may not be the only answer sometimes, but in Ishaan's case, the theory is working like magic. One, because the colour ways of each of the pieces in his top half are almost the same and two, they're fitting him well; nothing's appearing like a last-minute decision. Now that's key.

Dinesh Karthik's Emotional Post For Wife Dipika Is Proof They Are A 'Power Couple' In The Truest Sense

Gay Dating App Grindr Released Data About Users' HIV Status To Other Companies

The popular gay dating app, Grindr, found itself in the middle of a data leak controversy after it was found sharing sensitive user information - including their HIV status - with two analytics companies. For the uninitiated, Grindr is an extremely popular dating and hook-up app for gay and bisexual men (the GBTQ group to be specific). It started in 2009 and has more than 3.6 million daily active users across the world. It is location and proximity based, like Tinder. Users can share as much or as little information about themselves as they choose in their profiles - from their pictures to their HIV status. © Twitter The app also has a feature where it gives users the option of getting a reminder to be tested for HIV every 3 to 6 months based on the data they provided. © Twitter Grindr clarified that it has not 'leaked' the data for any monetary benefits or any other reason whatsoever, and it was purely an exercise in testing and validating the way they roll out the platform with 'two highly-regarded software vendors'. © Twitter The fact that Grindr shared this information with Apptimize and Localytics - two analytics companies that help with marketing strategies by optimizing apps - has received major backlash from the users. © Twitter However, they have now decided to stop sharing sensitive information like HIV status with third parties, and also have decided to delete the data already sent across. © Twitter Scott Chen, the CTO of Grindr, has issued a statement where it has been made clear that the privacy policy of Grindr states that Grindr is a public platform, and it should be treated as such. The user has complete control over what information to share, and one should be careful about that because it will be treated as public information once shared in the profile. © Twitter One thing is for sure, people are now surely going to think twice about the information they provide online, especially after the recent Facebook debacle involving Cambridge Analytica.

Gautam Gambhir Comes Up With A Perfect Reply To Shahid Afridi's Comments Over Kashmir

Just like India and Pakistan, Gautam Gambhir and Shahid Afridi share a rivalry like no other in international cricket. No one can possibly forget their explosive on-field exchange which had set the tempers soaring during the 3rd ODI between India and Pakistan at Kanpur in 2007. While Gambhir is potentially out of contention of making the Team India cut, Afridi has already called time on his career. But, despite being away from international cricket, their rivalry transcended off the field after the former Pakistani cricketer publicly claimed that he will never be seen hanging out with the Delhi opener. The present-day scenario is no different and there is no love lost between the two cricketers. On 3 April, when Afridi was battling serious backlash from the Indians following his insensitive comments on the ongoing dispute in Kashmir, the Delhi Daredevils (DD) captain wasted no time in taking a pot shot at his old nemesis. Media called me for reaction on @SAfridiOfficial tweet on OUR Kashmir & @UN. What's there to say? Afridi is only looking for @UN which in his retarded dictionary means “UNDER NINTEEN” his age bracket. Media can relax, @SAfridiOfficial is celebrating a dismissal off a no- ball!!! — Gautam Gambhir (@GautamGambhir) April 3, 2018 Taking to Twitter, Gambhir wrote: "Media called me for reaction on @SAfridiOfficial tweet on OUR Kashmir & @UN.

Wonder where is the @UN & other int bodies & why aren't they making efforts to stop this bloodshed? — Shahid Afridi (@SAfridiOfficial) April 3, 2018 Earlier in the day, Afridi became the subject of immense criticism for his insensitive tweet about Kashmir where he labelled Indian army as an "oppressive regime". "Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self determination & independence. Wonder where is the @UN & other int bodies & why aren't they making efforts to stop this bloodshed?," he tweeted. Afridi's tweet was in reference to the series of counter-insurgency operations in three different areas of South Kashmir on Sunday. Indian armed forces handed a major setback to the terror groups in the Valley. A total of 12 terrorists were gunned down in what turned out to be one of the biggest counter-offensives against terrorist outfits in recent times in Kashmir. The operations rendered a severe blow to terror groups such as Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba, but it sadly came at a cost of five lives. Two civilians and three Army jawans lost their lives during the gruelling operations. While the details on how or why the two civilians were killed isn't revealed, the demise of the three Army soldiers once again highlighted the never-ending sacrifices they make to keep us safe.

A Karni Sena Protestor Is Now A Bhim Sena Agitator Because Freelance Protestor Is The Newest Job

There are so many freelance jobs out there – freelance artists, freelance writers, freelance editors, you get the point. But, there's a new freelance job that no one even knew existed until now. Apparently, now there are freelance protestors as well. Yep. Are you confused? Let me explain this very new, very exciting job. It seems like only one person has this job as of now, and that too we got to know because he went viral. Selfies going viral on the internet is nothing new or special, but who knew just two selfies can start a conspiracy theory. Remember 'Padmaavat' and all the protests against it? Sorry, stupid question, how can someone forget that absurdity? Well, another protest is going on right now - the Bharat Bandh called by then Bhim Sena. And, guess what? The internet found a connection between both of the protest. © Twitter So basically, two selfies of the same guy at both of these protests have been going around the internet. As the pictures show, while protesting with Karni Sena, he can be seen posing with a sword and has a saffron band on his head. On the other hand, with Bhim Sena, the color of his band changed to blue. Something doesn't add up. So, he went from a Rajput to a Dalit in just a few short months? I never even knew that was possible, my mind is totally blown right now. Two selfies, two protests, one big conspiracy theory – this is what dreams are made of. People are now debating the authenticity of these protestors, and rightly so. And, if they are actually being hired as a 'freelance protestor', I think that's probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard about, but I'm still not denying that it's not a possibility.

How A BITS Pilani Engineer Became A Full-Time Traveller And Trekked Solo To Everest Base Camp

We all want to do this – quit our jobs and travel full-time. It has been talked about so much it has almost become a cliché, and yet we still can't bring ourselves to take the plunge. But every once in a while, we come across the story of a free spirit who manages to break the cycle and come out alive. There are people out there who have given up their cushy corporate jobs to travel the world and they haven't looked back. One such person is Jatin Adlakha, a computer science engineer from BITS Pilani, who is now a full-time traveller. For the past 4 years, he has been travelling on his bike and has covered over 70,000 km. Last year, Jatin managed to trek solo to Mt. Everest Base Camp and the journey changed his life forever. © Jatin Adlakha Like you and me, he worked a regular 9-to-6 job in a corporate company. And like most middle class Indian families, his childhood consisted of regular family trips on LTC, thanks to his banker dad. But the travel bug hit him hard when he got his first bike. Jatin set off to explore the country on the weekends he got off from work. The call of the road was strong and eventually, Jatin decided to quit his job to do what he loved most – travel to places unknown to him. One of the most difficult parts of quitting your job to follow our passion, besides the financial part, is convincing your parents. Like most Indian parents, they were apprehensive. Jatin says, “For them, it was a 3 years' journey from saying, 'No, it's not going to happen', 'You're going mad', to 'Okay, but not alone', to 'Take Care' to finally, 'Enjoy!'.” Sooner or later, parents do come around and give in to our decisions in life, don't they? © Jatin Adlakha The lure of the hills was enticing enough for Jatin to leave everything behind. He sold off his belongings, and set off for one of the most life-changing trips one can ever undertake in life – a solo trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp. For the uninitiated, the Everest Base Camp (EBC) is at 5346m above sea level and witnesses temperatures as low as -20 degree Celsius. The winds are so cold and harsh they can effectively tear your skin away. But for thrill-seekers and mountain-lovers, that is just something that makes the challenge sweeter. Talking about the trek, Jatin says, “A typical day on the trail looked like waking up around 5-530 in the morning to a day which already had opened up, freshening up maintaining a distant relationship with water, and starting the walk around 7-730am after a heavy breakfast.” © Jatin Adlakha When asked the most beautiful thing he learnt from his travels, Jatin reminisces fondly, “I found that love is everywhere. In newness, in strangers, and even in the wild. Here is a story: “In my 2 days at Namche Bazaar (a mountain town on the Everest Base Camp trek), I stayed in a local Nepali house with Sherpas—I had befriended one of them while trekking up. I had shared my bed with 10 to 15 porters, it was a giant bed made out of keeping many cots together […] The love that I received there was exceptional. The day I was to pack up and leave for my trek ahead, there was a frenzied atmosphere in the room, everyone was making sure I had everything I needed. Picture your mom sending you off on the day of an exam making sure you got everything; it was like that, with 5-7 moms ( the caretaker of the house, others and the Sherpas)! Such love is highly impactful, it gave me a sense of responsibility to give back the love to society, to do many more random acts of kindness.” *A page from my Adventure Notebook* . . "To Travel is to find a new perspective.", I was hearing Jason Silva say this just today. Yep, that's about right. And To Adventure I must say is to discover your own potential, gauge just a little more from that unfathomable infinite pool we carry within. . . Well aware that I will get camps in Kheerganga, I had still carried my tent with me on the (~12 kms each side) trek to train myself for a tougher trek in near future. It had rained heavily that night, the heavy downpour sounded like music to my ears; and in that cold weather, I slept curled up in my blanket oblivious to the materialistic worries of the world. Come morning, some folks from nearby tents joined me for some chat bringing their chairs, and I sat on the boulder savouring the view; rejoiced. . . This was part of my solo Himalayan Odyssey on my bike and with my tent which lasted 81 days and 3,688.9 kms and recently concluded. Follow my feed as I bring to you many pictures and tales from the Himalayan land and other adventures of mine. Facebook: https://ift.tt/2GxLFFd Instagram: @wanderingjatin YouTube: Wandering Jatin (username) . . Also check out my travel blog which is now live at www.wanderingjatin.in. A post shared by Jatin Adlakha (@wanderingjatin) on Aug 23, 2017 at 6:11am PDT Travelling full time is not easy, especially when it comes to managing finances. As a man in the Indian society, you are expected to keep food on the table at all times and depending on parents for money is not an option. Jatin managed to make his love of travel sustainable by opening his own travel company Wander Gupt in December 2017. “Gupt trips means the location and itinerary is kept secret, I declare roughly what is to be expected. I believe travel isn't as much as about the destination as it is about the experiences themselves,” he quips. © Jatin Adlakha Travelling alone and on the road can be a challenge. When I ask him about any bad experiences he faced while travelling, he says, “I tend to forget the negative experiences very naturally. On the road things happen on constant basis, good and bad, I learn from the bad but my body as if almost on auto mode doesn't keep brooding over the bad experience.” Jatin is unfazed even as he recalls a bike accident he had while riding through Maharashtra. Perhaps that is one of the many things travel teaches you – to take everything in your stride, and let go of bad memories. © Jatin Adlakha A journey like this cannot leave you untouched. You change a little with every trip undertaken. You are no longer the same person. For Jatin, the trek to the Everest Base Camp was a life-changing one. His humble confession about his trekking experience says it all: “I interacted with Sherpas who had walked to EBC over forty times carrying weights over 80 kilos while my 8 kg bag seemed like a rock sometimes. I walked with an Everest Summiteer for almost 2 hours, who was returning from her successful summit to Mt Amadablan at 6800 m. I witnessed a girl breaking into laughter upon the falling of her artificial leg while trekking up Namche Bazaar, 'Oh, it's the sweat', she said. I sat consumed in the games the mountains, clouds and the sun played. I gaped at those mountains of gigantic proportions and submitted. I returned with newer experiences and friendships, which I shall cherish forever with a smile. Put in my place by those snow-clad huge mountains, maybe I gained nothing for a change. Or, probably gained a lot. But I do know that I lost my 'self' in those high passes.” You can read more about his journey on his blog Wandering Jatin

Shahid Afridi Calls Indian Army An 'Oppressive Regime', Sparks Massive Outrage On Twitter

Few months back, former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi managed to earn the respect of the Indian fans during the ice cricket tournament in Switzerland. While clicking a photo with an Indian fan, Afridi politely asked the woman to hold the tri-colour in the correct manner. His concern for the Indian national flag helped him in winning many hearts in the country. But, on 3rd April, the man who was once praised by Indians has now drawn the ire of the entire country - courtesy his insensitive comments about the Indian Armed Forces and the ongoing dispute in Kashmir. It wasn't the first time when the 38-year-old had spoken about the situation in the Valley, but this time around, he seems to have crossed the line. Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self determination & independence. Wonder where is the @UN & other int bodies & why aren't they making efforts to stop this bloodshed? — Shahid Afridi (@SAfridiOfficial) April 3, 2018 Taking to Twitter, Afridi wrote: "Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.

7 Key Pieces Celebrities Are Wearing In India Right Now

Without a doubt, famous Indian guys aren't any less celebrated than the ones in the West. And their styles too, are in-sync with the best of them. Think hypebeast clothing, anti-fits (or over-sized), dirty sneakers — they wear them all. Nothing that exists on the (rotating) face of earth, has ever not been found in an Indian celebrity's wardrobe. They work out, pump those guns and slip in some insane year. So much so, that every time we spot a new distinct piece of apparel on them, we go ballistic at the malls, trying to cop them right away. But that's like versing you with the drill. The point is, what are these pieces they've been wearing lately, that're on our radar? Let's list a few of them here: 1. (Almost) Construction Worker-Reflective-Windcheater © Viral Bhayani When there's a medley of a fluorescent hue with metallics, you'd rather stand up and notice. Or maybe, just take a snap of it and discuss. But hey, besides that this looks dope. It is definitely a little out-of-the-blue and yet, nothing that's too unwearable; there's nothing to really talk about in detail. But keep the pairing simple, you don't actually want to belong to a construction site. 2. Velvet Blazer © Viral Bhayani Not so long ago, 'velvet' crept into the menswear scene on international runways. In just a few months and in various variants, we saw the luxe fabric in modern-Indian collections too, besides the fact that men like Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh started to embrace it. Today, even Rajkummar Rao has instilled his faith in it, while he sports the fabric in formal wear. It's time you do too. 3. Savaged Shirts © Viral Bhayani We're not referring to your last savage comeback to a sexist statement, while you were wearing a pink shirt. Savaged shirts, as we call them are torn, ripped and savaged at the hemlines, making them badass pieces to own. Try it with a pornstache and chelsea boots (for added height) like Varun Dhawan. 4. Sliders © Viral Bhayani Something, that most Indian men need to trade their flip-flops for today. Though, they're an open form of footwear, sliders aren't symbols of lousy dressing. In fact, their shape is quite polished (if seen from a casual wear perspective) and don't look as dowdy as 'chappals' in public. Plus, you can transition these from home to an eased-out outing. And well, you can always turn to brands like Adidas or Nike, instead of McQueen's, as in the case of Singh. 5. Tassel Loafers © Viral Bhayani Cricket's most stylish shredder and Anushka Sharma's better half, Virat Kohli is a classy dresser. In no way, does he try and step up his game, nor intends to stay boring. He's found a middle ground that most famous men couldn't dig and has now, entered the world of style domination. His tassel loafers are living proof of this theory. 6. Dirty, Ugly Sneakers © Viral Bhayani Thanks to Balenciaga, dirty sneakers are a reality now. And yes, they're big, clunky and are almost dadcore represents. But that's also why they could be tricky to pair. Either turn to dad style (with relaxed silhouettes, baseball caps etc) or go the slim-fit route. Either way, remember to balance out your proportions and not make yourself look too bulky. Plus, keep dirty sneakers clean, not dirty. They already look dirty, don't get too lazy. 7. Floral, Breathe-Easy Hoodie © Viral Bhayani Summer layering fanatics, give us those ears. Since you're all for piling on layers and sweating like a pig, rather invest in something that's focused on the current season. And since florals are for summer, you rather turn to that first. Fuse the concept of summer layering+florals together and head right into a something like this fresh, flowery piece of outerwear here.

'Troy: Fall Of A City' Is The New GOT & We're Now Waiting For That One Guy Who Knows Nothing

Forget about your struggle with Trojan virus, it's time to shift your focus to Trojan War, one of the most brutal, strategically planned and badass battles in Greek mythology. Unless you chose to sleep through your History classes, you must have read about this epic war that went on for almost 9 years and the reason behind this – love story of Prince Paris of Troy and Queen Helen of Sparta, who was also known as Helen of Troy. © Netflix Several movies and series have been made on the Trojan War in the past, some of the prominent ones being Homer's 'The Iliad', 'Helen of Troy' 2003 miniseries starring Sienna Guillory and Matthew Marsden as Helen and Paris, and Wolfgang Petersen's 'Troy' starring Brad Pitt. Now, Netflix and BBC One are coming up with their own narration, which has everything it takes to become a perfect cure for the 'Game of Thrones' hangover. This BBC series has already aired in the UK and Netflix is now branding it as its original series. Just like they did with almost every other series. There has always been confusion around the story of Helen and Paris. © Netflix In some adaptations, it is depicted as a love story, while some say Helen was abducted by Paris and later returned to her husband Melenaus of Sparta, after the war. This series follows the struggles and events that threaten Troy's destruction when Helen and Sparta fall in love. The approach of the series looks similar to that of GOT – heavy dosage of ***, bloodbath and gory scenes that will make your blood curdle. But, I am sure within no time, you will find yourself hooked to this series as well. 'Troy: Fall of a City' is premiering on April 6, 2018 and features Louis Hunter, Bella Dayne, David Threlfall, Frances O'Connor and Tom Weston-Jones among others. Looking at this genre, we know it's slightly unfair to throw light only on 'Game of Thrones' when there are so many great series like 'Rome', 'Vikings', 'The Tudors' or 'The Last Kingdom'. But, the moment you start watching the show and get to know the characters like Daenerys Targaryen, Cercei Lannister, Arya Stark, Sansa Stark, Tyrion Lannister or the White Walkers and the Night King; fairness goes out of the window as prejudice makes room for itself on the couch, next to us to watch the series together. I am sorry I forgot to mention Jon Snow, maybe that's because I wrote 'know' in the beginning and couldn't bring myself to relate him with the word. © Netflix 'Game of Thrones' has set the pedestal too high for any show to compete, but by the looks of the trailer, 'Troy: Fall Of A City' seems to be a strong contender who can claim the throne back from GOT.

Karan Johar's Messy, Holi-Stained Jacket Costs More Than 6 Months Of My House Rent

Karan Johar has been experimenting with his style of late - or shall we say, just decided to finally embrace his fierce sense of style that leaves a statement? Whatever may be the case, he has consistently been turning heads with his out-of-the-box sartorial choices of late. He was just spotted in a colourful jacket that reminded us of the state of our white kurta post Holi. © Viral Bhayani What he is wearing is actually a limited edition Junya Watanabe jacket, that stands out because of the super playful, intentionally messy and drippy colour palette. On the first glance, you might just think of it as a white wipe cloth used to clean up spilt paint. But that's high fashion for you, and it is supposed to be avant-garde. © Viral Bhayani Now, coming to how much it actually costs, brace yourselves. It costs more than INR 1.12 lakhs. Yes, you read that right. And yes, that is worth more than six months of my house rent. © Viral Bhayani About the overall look, we like how he has decided to keep it understated with a simple white t-shirt underneath and a relaxed pair of ripped blue jeans. © Viral Bhayani Karan always makes it a point to carry a statement bag with all of his outfits. Loving the camo bag here. The fact that it has white detailing and fluorescent orange straps makes it a perfect piece of accessory to be carried with the colourful jacket. Also, we love how it totally goes with his thick-heeled sneakers. © Viral Bhayani KJo's sunglass game has also been on fleek. That unusual frame spells swag from every angle. All we can say is he might choose to stay behind the cameras on the silver screen, but as far as his fashion choices go in real life, he sure does like to make love with the lenses.

A Recipe To Make A Quality Mass Gainer Shake At Home With Up To 870 Calories Per Serving

A lot of people think that mass gainers build muscle but in reality, most dudes end up getting fat. Firstly, muscle building is a combination of training, nutrition, recovery and supplementation. Secondly, you need to understand that mass gainers are not for everyone. The primary aim of a mass gainer is to provide a large amount of calories for those people who either have a very low appetite or are hard-gainers. Also, a mass gainer can also be useful for a person who doesn't have enough time to consume enough meals to meet his caloric and macronutrient needs. The Problems With Commercially Available Mass Gainers 1) Their actual serving size is way too high 100-150g (3-5 scoops). Hence, people rarely take it and which mitigates the purpose of a mass gainer. 2) Most mass gainers are filled with cheap and fast digesting sources of carbohydrates, chiefly dextrose. Consuming sugar in such high dosage causes fatigue and drowsiness. © Thinkstock/Getty Images 3) They do not have adequate protein. 4) They are overpriced and the good quality mass gainers with complex carbs and enough protein are extremely overpriced. Here's How You Can Make A QUALITY Gainer At Home Note- 'Follow The Blending Instructions To The T' #1 Grind 50g Oats in a mixer, make sure the oats get fine and powdery. #2 Add 15g Almonds and grind them too. #3 Add 2 bananas and blend them as well. You should have a thick paste by now. #4 Add 1 full table-spoon peanut butter (~15g) #5 At last add 700 ml double toned milk. Optional: you can also add little cocoa or chocolate powder to make your gainer more savory. Ingredients Protein: 32g Fats: 28g Carbs: 122g Total Calories: 870 Kcal © Thinkstock/Getty Images This homemade mass gainer will cost you less than what you'd buy from a supplement store with almost twice as much quality calories. Also, it will not just provide you a good chunk of calories but also micronutrients like potassium, calcium, B Vitamins, manganese, phosphorus, copper, B-vitamins, iron, selenium, magnesium and zinc.

MS Dhoni's Tribute To Armed Forces Highlights The Honour Indian Soldiers Truly Deserve

Sports mirrors the society and just like any other aspect of culture, it can act as a mechanism for both political and societal change. Since it doesn't exist in a vacuum, functioning in isolation and alienating itself from what is happening around the world is definitely not how it's supposed to be. And, this is where sportspersons come into play. Sports icons are influential public figures who are likely to make an impression on the country's youth. Their huge fan base gives them the power to influence the minds of the fans. So, at a time when Indian soldiers are paying with their lives to safeguard national interest, by sharing their work-out videos or posting holiday selfies, they unknowingly tell the youth that it is probably okay not to have an opinion. That it is okay to continue living within your own walls, and not engage. © BCCL In a series of counter-insurgency operations in three different areas of South Kashmir, the Indian armed forces handed a major setback to the terror groups in the Valley on Sunday. A total of 12 terrorists were gunned down in what turned out to be one of the biggest counter-offensives against terrorist outfits in recent times in Kashmir. The operations did render a severe blow to terror groups such as Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba, but it sadly came at the cost of five lives. Two civilians and three Army jawans lost their lives during the grueling operations. While the details on how or why the two civilians were killed aren't revealed, the demise of the three Army soldiers once again highlighted the never-ending sacrifices they make to keep us safe. It was absolutely wonderful to see the pride with which @msdhoni wore his Territorial army uniform while receiving the well deserved #PadmaBhushan today, exactly 7 years after we won the 2011 World Cup. Heartiest congratulations ! pic.twitter.com/ROdMdM7aQk — VVS Laxman (@VVSLaxman281) April 2, 2018 And, that's what probably instigated Mahendra Singh Dhoni's touching message for the Indian armed forces after he was bestowed with the honour of the 'Padma Bhushan'. Dhoni, who holds the rank of Honorary Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army, wore his uniform for the gala ceremony where he was presented with the country's highest civilian award by President Ram Nath Kovind on Monday. An honour to get the Padma Bhushan and receiving it in Uniform increases the excitement ten folds.thanks to all the Men and Women in Uniform and their families for the Sacrifices they make so that all of us could enjoy our Constitutional Rights.Jai Hind A post shared by @ mahi7781 on Apr 2, 2018 at 11:36pm PDT If his decision to don the army uniform elated Indian cricket fans, the Jharkhand cricketer's heartfelt message for the jawans further established his reputation as one true patriot. On Tuesday, the former Indian captain took to Instagram and wrote: "An honour to get the Padma Bhushan and receiving it in Uniform increases the excitement ten folds. thanks to all the Men and Women in Uniform and their families for the Sacrifices they make so that all of us could enjoy our Constitutional Rights. Jai Hind". Incidentally, Dhoni was conferred with the prestigious civilian honour on the seventh anniversary of India's famous ICC World Cup triumph in 2011. While his leadership skills propelled the Men in Blue to the final, his mighty six eventually secured the second World Cup title for India. But, in the age where sports stars generally turn a blind eye to such issues, it was great to see the mercurial Dhoni breaking the monotony and rallying behind the unsung heroes of the country while highlighting their plight.
