Also, Janalakshmi Financial Services has joined hands with the BCCI as an associate sponsor for a three-year-period.

The fans will vote on Indian Cricket Team’s official Facebook page to select their greatest ever Test XI
As unfair as it might be to the other sports, but the fan-following that the game of cricket gets in India is beyond crazy with the crowd flocking to the stadiums to cheer their superstars while millions of others sit glued in front of the TV sets biting their nails away in excitement. India has evolved as a cricket playing nation over the years to become the World Champion in the 50-over format twice and the World T20 champion once in their illustrious history.

The Test format, however, is the true pinnacle of the sport and with the Men in Blue set to play their 500th match in the longest format of the game, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), who are doing their bit to promote Test cricket having lined up as many as 13 Tests in the 2016-17 home season, beginning with the landmark contest against New Zealand at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.

On the eve of the momentous occasion, the BCCI wants to provide the cricket-crazy fans –  who have helped cricket reach the zenith of sports in India – an opportunity to get involved, launching a ‘ Dream Team’ initiative.

This fan-engagement drive on the Indian Cricket Team’s official Facebook page will see the followers get a chance to vote for their dream eleven out an illustrious list of players to have donned the Indian colours since their first Test way back in 1932.

Talking about the initiative, BCCI president Anurag Thakur said: “I have always believed that the heart of the game lies with its fans and what better way to celebrate the historic moment of 500th Test match by giving the fans a chance to vote for their ‘Dream Team’. I am pleased that over 100,000 cricket fans have already voted to pick their top-order in the ‘Dream Team’ and I expect that number to grow manifolds in coming days.”

BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke also had his say on the social media initiative by the BCCI that has generated much hype.

“This is a great campaign for the Indian cricket fans to come together and pick their favourite players in their team. We are expecting our fans to give a healthy competition to the legends of the game in their Dream Team,” Shirke said.

BCCI unveil official financial services partner

The huge fan-following that the game has in India has also helped the BCCI emerge as one of the most powerful players in modern day cricket and their financial might will be further boosted after it was revealed that Janalakshmi Financial Services (Jana), a Non-Banking Financial Company, with its headquarters in Bangalore, had been roped in as an associate sponsor of the BCCI and will be the official financial services partner for the next three years.

“I am delighted to announce this three-year long association as it further strengthens our belief in India Cricket,” the BCCI President said.

“I am pleased to announce BCCI’s partnership with Janalakshmi Financial Services. Like the BCCI for whom the fan holds a high place, the Jana believes in forging a strong connect with the consumer.

“The latest tie-up shows that India Cricket is taking big strides on and off the field. As we commence the mega home season, I thank our new partner and look forward to their lasting support.”

Raaz Reboot box office collection day 4

Raaz Reboot box office collection day 4: Emraan Hashmi-starrer continues to perform better at single-screen theaters.

Raaz Reboot which stars Emraan Hashmi, Kriti Kharbanda and Gaurav Arora might be struggling to keep pace at the multiplexes, but it has managed to sweep across the single-screen audience. The horror flick which collected a decent Rs. 6.30 crore on its opening day, continues to keep its hold in smaller centers. Till Sunday, the film stood at a collection of Rs. 18.09 crore. The film which is the fourth one in the Raaz franchise however, has failed to impress the viewers in terms of its plot. While on Saturday, the film earned Rs 5.49 crore, on Sunday the collections were Rs 6.30 crore in India. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh had tweeted the numbers of domestic business.

Raaz Reboot has been directed by Vikram Bhatt who said “I have always tried to do something different. I am trying to give something new to the audience all the time. They might like it or not like it, but you can’t doubt my intentions.”

Those who saw the film felt it could’ve done much better in terms of its horror component, as many parts of the film were less scary and more unconvincing. Emraan Hashmi who appears in a pivotal role has done justice to his part, as much as the plot demanded. However, his negative character is the highlight of the film.

Raaz reboot released alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Tapsee Pannu-starrer Pink, which is doing much better at multiplexes. Pink which is a courtroom drama and deals with the crimes against women, is giving tough competition to Raaz Reboot. The weekdays are crucial for both the films. Considering Pink is getting a strong word of mouth publicity, the fate of Raaz Reboot completely lies to the extent it can hold on to the mass circuits.

Google announces a new app called Trips.

Today Google released a new app for travel goers called Google Trips. Available for Android and iOS, the company hopes it will be your new travel companion.

Google Trips

Hot on the heels of Destinations, which brings travel planning features to search, travelers now have an app. The app organizes your plane tickets and hotel reservations, offers travel guides for over 200 cities around the world and makes personalized recommendations based on your Google history.

On top of this, it works offline. Avoiding roaming charges and spotty Wi-Fi is probably the biggest travel issue. Google Trips lets you download everything you need locally before you leave, which includes maps and walking directions.

As with many Google products, you’re required to use your Google Account, whether it’s personal or work. You’ll probably want to use the account where your flight and hotel information is delivered to.

Creating a trip is easy. The main part of the app is called Things to Do. It builds custom itineraries based around things like the length of stay, popular destinations you want to see and anything you’ve previously starred or saved on a Google service. You can be general, like “72 hours in New York” or dive deep into shopping, museums and outdoor activities.

When your phone signal is active, the app gives you real-time information on which destinations are open or closed. It makes adjustments based on time of day and weather. Similar to Google search, it has an I’m Feeling Lucky recommendation for your day. Using this, Google gives you a random highlight from the city you’re in.

Facebook Paid ₹10,70,000 To This Guy From Kerala. Here’s Why.

Facebook is one of the most used tools of communication in the world. And every tool of communication needs to be secure. And although the Facebook website looks pretty safe, there still are a few bugs here and there which seasoned hackers look to exploit. For this reason, Facebook loves people who find out these bugs and help it fix them. And it shows its love by rewarding them with huge sums of money.

According to The Times Of India, a young student from Kerala, has become the latest one to win a cash prize from Facebook. Arun S Kumar, a computer engineering student from MES Institute of Technology, Kollam, exposed a critical vulnerability in Facebook Business Manager, through which, a hacker could take control of a Facebook page in less than 10 seconds. He received Rs. 10.7 Lakhs ($16,000) for this.

"Since the hacker would be able to manipulate the page of any Facebook user, the damage it would bring is beyond imagination," he told TOI.

He reported the bug to the Facebook security team on August 29. He heard back from them the very next day, and by September 6, the team had fixed the bug. And three days later, he received another mail informing Arun that he'll be receiving a "bug bounty" for pointing out the bug.

In August this year, along with three other ethical hackers from different countries, he was invited to meet the Facebook security team at Las Vegas. He was also awarded a place in the Facebook's Hall Of Fame for white hackers, becoming the first Indian to get this honour.

Facebook, like most other tech giants, have a bug bounty program, rewarding people who notify them of flaws on their platform.

And this is not the first time Facebook has awarded Arun for hunting bugs. In April this year, he had found another vulnerability, for which he received Rs. 7 lakh. He has spotted bugs in many other websites, including Google and has received more than Rs. 30 lakh in payouts in the past three years, the TOI report says.

Foods That Every Athlete Should Eat.

The market is flooded with foods and supplements marketed toward fitness fanatics—if you use the term “food” loosely, that is. From energy gels to protein powders to meal-replacement bars, you can find something packaged and processed (and usually, quite pricy) for every type of athlete, whether you’re an endurance runner or a power lifter.

Eating for athletic performance, however, shouldn’t just take place after the gym or right before a big event. It’s something you should be conscious of at every meal and every snack, say sports nutritionists Barbara Lewin and Jill Pluhar, and your strategy should involve more whole foods and natural nutrition than the factory-manufactured kind. Here, 10 of their favorite eats for athletes, and tips on how to make the most of their nutritional benefits.

1. Beets

Beets are one of the healthiest natural foods in the grocery store. Not only do they provide you with a full dose of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, they’re also great for detoxifying the body. The betalain pigments found in beets can help in the neutralization and removal of toxins that can make us feel drained or ill.
In essence, beets are the perfect food for an athlete. Beets are especially ideal for anyone who’s constantly putting their body to the test and who needs to rebuild muscle quickly and efficiently.

2. Chia seeds

The very same ones from your childhood chia pet, these little seeds are rich in omega-3s, antioxidants and fiber, as well as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, and zinc among many others. Chia seeds form a gel when added to water inside or outside of the body, therefore, they slow digestion and provide a steady stream of energy to sustain a long game or outing.

3. Lemons

While regular exercise tends to balance out our body’s pH (remember that cancer and other illnesses tend to survive in acidic conditions), excessive exercise, like that many athletes endure, can promote an acidic state as well. Although lemons are acidic outside of the body, inside of the body they actually help neutralize this exercise induced acidic state.

4. Oatmeal

This breakfast staple can also be tossed into protein shakes to kick up the carb and calorie count if you’re looking to pack on weight. Just make sure to opt for steel-cut—instant oats have a glycemic index of 83, compared to 55 for the “average” oat. This means that the instant option is more likely to cause an insulin spike, which will cause you to store all those carbs as flab.
Oatmeal is a great source of carbohydrate energy for athletes, plus it’s high in fiber, which keeps you full longer and helps maintain glucose levels.

5. Bananas

Bananas are extremely convenient for busy athletes—portable and encased in biodegradable wrappers. They also deliver a potent dose of good nutrition. Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, an electrolyte that gets lost in sweat and helps maintain low blood pressure. Bananas are also a good source of carbs to fuel the muscles, and they taste great with chocolate milk and/or peanut butter, which are other good sports foods.

6.Salmon

Salmon is, quite simply, one of healthiest forms of meat you can consume. Not only is it packed with protein, but it’s also an amazing source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to help with protein synthesis. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that can optimize cellular functionality. Overall, salmon is a great way to get your protein fill. Just be sure to acquire wild or organically farmed fish, which doesn’t have the pesticides and fungicides used by many salmon farms.

7. Yogurt

Yogurt, especially the kind packed with probiotics, can be a very effective way of helping control weight. Several studies, including this one from the Dairy Council, state that the consuming probiotics can improve gastrointestinal health and increase energy. Probiotic yogurt is also known for reducing athlete recovery times and helping maintain an overall healthy digestive system. Yogurt is great on its own, but it can also be added to sauces, soups, and smoothies. It’s a great source of protein and will keep you feeling full longer than many other food items.

8. Nuts and Nut Butter

Because they’re a natural combination of protein and healthy fats, nuts (and nut products) are a staple in many athletes’ diets. They’re also easy to digest, and can help balance your blood sugar when paired with carbs. If you were to eat a bagel all by itself, it would turn to sugar pretty quickly and you’d use up all of that energy right away. But if you put some peanut butter or almond butter on that bagel, the protein and fat can help sustain those carbs over a longer period of time, in a non-invasive way that doesn’t upset your stomach.
9. Tuna

Tuna, another food with a PCDAAS of 1, is only slightly more difficult to prepare than a protein shake, especially if you buy the canned stuff. Mix it with avocado and spread it on whole wheat bread for an easy, healthy lunch, or pull it and toss it with a salad.

10. Pasta

Protein may be important for building muscle, but carbohydrates are still the single most important component of an athlete’s diet. Our bodies burn carbs as fuel. We can also burn fat or protein, but we have to convert them into carbs first, which is more work for the body. So what kind of carbs should you eat? Most of the time, whole-grain varieties are best. They have more fiber and, usually, less added sugar than their refined white counterparts. The night before a big competition, though, switch to the simple stuff—plain pasta with red sauce at a pre-race pasta party, for example. Fiber takes a while to get through your system and it can contribute to gastrointestinal distress, so reducing it before a big athletic event can help things run more smoothly.

M.S Dhoni Would Hate Gautam Gambhir For What He Said About His Upcoming Biopic.

Rajnikantvscidjokes 18 Sept. 2016 17:16

‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ is all set to hit the screens on the 30th of September and just few days before its release, Gautam Gambhir has spoken against the concept of making biopics. M.S Dhoni would definitely not like what he has said about biopics on cricketers.

We all know that the national selectors overlooked Gambhir for the upcoming Test Series against New Zealand, in spite of giving a consistent performance in the Duleep Trophy.

Now, Gautam is of the opinion that there are various other people in the world than cricketers, who actually deserve a biopic for the valuable contributions they have made.

He took to Twitter and expressed disappointment over the films made on cricketers. Here’s his tweet…

“I don’t believe in biopics on cricketers. I think those people, who have contributed more to the country than the cricketers, deserve a biopic. There are lots of people in the country who have done so many noble deeds for the nation. Therefore biopics should be made on their lives,”

This tweet is nothing but a sly dig at M.S Dhoni. Gautam and Dhoni have been sharing a frosty relation since and years and this tweet could just deepen the rift.

Many people gave their reactions on this and instead of supporting Gambhir, they trolled him, calling him an egoistic person. Have a look at the trolls..

Hello loser!

Don’t worry brother!

Jalo mat!

Comeback nahi kar payega!

Stop being jealous!

Why so much hate with Dhoni?

Grow up!

Burnol lelo!

Perfect example of ego and jealousy!

Yes, might be this reaction of Gautam is a result of the ignorance he has been getting from the team since the start. Already there are biopics on cricketers Sachin Tendulkar, Azharuddin and Dhoni. May be Gautam is insecure because there is nothing on him yet.

We Bet You Didn’t Know That Abhishek Bachchan Is A Guinness World Record Holder And he beat Will Smith to get it.

We've been seeing less and less of Junior Bachchan every year for some time now. His last movie Housefull 3 , released earlier this year, did phenomenally at the box office and regardless of what the critics say, the fans love him and can't wait for what he does next.

And it is for all those fans that we've discovered a juicy lil factoid about Abhishek! Guess what, Junior B is a current Guinness World Record holder for 'Most Public Appearances Made By A Film Star In 12 Hours'.

Back in 2009, while promoting his memorable Delhi-6 , Abhishek made appearances at 7 different venues in a matter of merely 12 hours.

Bachchan walked the red carpet, signed autographs, introduced the film and gave interviews in Ghaziabad, Noida, Faridabad, Delhi, Gurgaon, Chandigarh and Mumbai on 22 February, 2009. He travelled 1,800 kms by car and private jet to make it happen.

This record was previously held by Will Smith, who attended three media events within 2 hours while promoting his 2004 film I, Robot .

But come 2009, Bachchan was all like, "Move aside Hancock. I've got a record to frikkin' shatter."
You're welcome, y'all. Here's to Abhishek, officially awesome.

Record 2,497 students get employment in 7 hours.

Arihant College job fair

Indoree : Adding one more feather to its cap, Arihant Institute of Management and Technology on Friday helped as many as 2,497 students in fetching job offers from topnotch companies, thus creating a record of its kind.

“No job fair in the State had ever managed to provide jobs to such a large number of students in a day,” said Arihant College director Kavita Kasliwal.

The placement drive was held from 10 am to 5 pm and in those seven hours nearly 2500 students walked out of the campus with job offers in their hands.

Students from across the state had turned up for the job fair which initially was only for students belonging to the city.

“We had planned the job fair for students of Indore. But we received requests from students from Gwalior, Ratlam, Bhopal, Guna, Khandwa etc to allow them also to participate in the fair. We did not disappoint them,” Kasliwal said.

However, little did the college administration know that the turnout would be of nearly 10,000 students.

The college had planned 1500 registrations against 500 openings in nearly 40 companies including Amazon, Flipkart, Reliance Jio, Wipro, Indigo Airlines, Shriram Finance etc that had given consent to participate in the fair.

But their planning fell flat when the turnout went more than 8 times to what they had initially thought.

The college had setup five desks for registrations — two for girl students, two for boys and one for outstation students.

But by 10 am, which was reporting time, more than 5000 students were in the campus. Registration desks were increased to 15 and later on to 25.

With the number increasing, the college administration closed the gate informing the job aspirants that they would be taken in once the students already inside the campus are registered.

But students outside broke open the gate and forced their entry into the campus. Police had to be called in to control the situation.

The police dispersed the students, who were still standing outside the campus, as their gathering had resulted in a massive traffic jam on Khandwa road.

“Traffic jam occurred on Khandwa road was headache to many commuters but for us it a sign of overwhelming response to our job fair,” Kasliwal said.

8,000 registration, 6,500 students interviewed

Nearly 8000 students were registered for the job fair. Of them, nearly 6,500 were interviewed by representatives of the companies. Initially, the companies had informed us that they have 500 openings but with a huge influx of students they increased the job offers. In total companies picked up 2497 students on the spot, said Kasliwal. She said that the college would organise another job fair in two to three months so that more students can take advantage of the fair.

Don't Miss: First 10 Things To Do With Your New iPhone 7.

Switching to the new iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus won't be a big deal if you are/ were an iPhone user.

But, it could be slightly intimidating for those who haven't used an iPhone before. With this in mind, we've come up with a list of 10 important things to do first after buying an iPhone.

So, without further ado, let's quickly check what they are.

Create an Apple ID

The first and foremost thing is to create an Apple ID. It's is the most essential and important thing for all the iPhone (or any Apple products) users. It's like a ticket for you to join the Apple ecosystem.

You'll need Apple ID for all the transactions you plan to do, be it downloading apps, purchasing music, downloading movies, iCloud, FaceTime, and all things Apple.

Install iTunes on your PC

Another most important thing you have to do is to download Apple iTunes. Adding or deleting music, updating your phone, restoring your phone taking backups, and more all of these activities can only be done via iTunes. Of course, you can do a few of these things with third-party apps, but we recommend you to install iTunes, it can come in very hand at times.

Get your phone started

Once you have created an Apple ID it's time for you to get your iPhone running. On turning your device on you'll be greeted with a Hello message. You'll be given proper instructions, follow them to set up your device.

Choose how your home button should feel

Apart from killing the headphone port, Apple also killed the clickable home button and replaced it with a solid-state home button similar to the Force Touch trackpad seen on the MacBook Pro. This new button takes help of Apple's Taptic Engine to simulate a button press. It allows you to select between 3 button press feels.

Set up Touch ID

Next, set up Touch ID. You can use it to unlock your phone or you can use it for other transactions as well. For example, whenever you download an app from the App Store, you have to enter the password instead, you can use Touch ID.

Set up Find My iPhone

Not many users do this but, we recommend you to set up Find My iPhone on the first day itself. It can be very useful if you happen to lose your iPhone. You can track the location of your lost device using this app.

Explore the phone

Though, it's not entirely different from its predecessors, the iPhone 7 packs in a few new features. Be sure to check them out.

Capture Live photos

We know you've been dying to check out the camera. Why not? It's one of the best (if not the best) cameras a smartphone has ever had. You can also capture Live Photos on the new iPhone 7. Now start filling that 32GB of your iPhone with photos.

Record 4K videos

Apple's new 12 MP camera allows you to capture 4K videos at 30fps. So, stop whatever you are doing and start recording a 4K video.

Download new apps

Apple's App Store has a large collection of apps and trust me, large is an understatement. So, start downloading the apps you like, remember you'll need the Apple ID to download apps.

AB de Villiers launched his autobiography 'AB' and he reveals the best bowler he has ever faced .

AB de Villiers is one of the best batsmen of this generation. He is one of the few players who have a 50-plus average in both Tests and ODIs.The right-handed batsman has conquered different formats and different conditions. One of the most devastating batsmen to ever play the game, his sheer presence on the crease is enough to scare the bowlers and his domination of the bowlers across all the formats is a prove of that. The way he thrashed his compatriot Dale Steyn during an IPL match is still fresh in every fan’s mind.

The South Africa star recently launched his autobiography ‘AB’ which has got a huge response in India. The 32-year old made some revelation that shocked his fans. Mr 360 degree , as he is fondly called due to his ability to hit the balls all around the ground, revealed that Pakistan’s Mohammad Asif, Australia’s Mitchell Johnson and England’s Monty Panesar troubled him the most.

Fans across the world will be absolutely surprised to know another interesting fact about the cricketer. De Villiers claimed that the best bowler he had ever based is not an international bowler but his elder brother’s childhood friend Gerrit Deist. De Villiers last played with Deist for the Tukkies. The right-handed batsman says in his autobiography that he never revealed that in media just to avoid lengthy explanations.

There were some other interesting stories too about the Proteas’ skipper childhood. He said that he had to play cricket with the seniors and had to remain very cautious as every small mistake would cost him dearly. Well, playing with the seniors might be the reason of De Villiers’ total domination against the bowlers.

Revealed! PM Modi Keeps Himself Healthy by Eating These Mushrooms Which Cost Rs 30,000 per Kg.

Ever since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, the only thing people are talking about is his rigorous work routine. He works almost 16 to 18 hours every day and that too without taking a break. Despite all this, he manages to keep himself fit with a combination of Yoga and healthy diets.

But very few people know that PM Modi eats mushrooms, found in Himachal, on a daily basis to keep himself active and lively. Interestingly, they cost nearly Rs 30,000 per kg.

Modi himself had revealed this and he is eating these mushrooms since he was BJP national secretary for party activities in Himachal Pradesh. He had revealed this to reporters during an unofficial conversation after becoming Gujarat Chief Minister.

“The secret of my good health is mushrooms of Himachal Pradesh. They have various health benefits,” he had reportedly said.

The scientific name of this mushroom is Morchella esculenta and is generally found in Himachal Pradesh. It commands a huge demand globally.

These mushrooms are the main source of income for villagers of Himachal Pradesh. They start collecting the mushrooms in March and continue it till May-end. It is dried before being sold.

These mushrooms are found in deodar groves at an altitude of 7,000 feet, mainly in Shimla, Chamba, Kullu and Mandi districts. Apart from Himachal Pradesh, they are also found in Uttarakhand and Kashmir.

It normally grows on logs of decaying wood, decaying leaves or humus soil in clusters. Villagers start collecting once ice begins to melt in these hilly areas.

They contain the B complex vitamins, vitamin D, and essential amino acids and its regular use can prevent heart disease.

They are high in demand in countries like Europe, America, France, Italy, and Switzerland .

Is Your Ring Finger Longer Than Your Index Finger? If So, This Is What It Means.

You can learn a lot about yourself just by looking at your hands. Scientists have noticed an extraordinary link between the length of your ring and index fingers and a various physical as well as behavioral traits.
Apparently, some scientists believe that the ratio between index and ring finger indicates how much testosterone we were exposed to in our mother’s womb. The higher the testosterone, the greater the length of the ring finger and the more “masculine” the resulting child – whether male or female.
Take a look at your own fingers in comparison with the image to identify which looks most like your own, A, B, or C.

“A FINGER” : RING FINGER IS LONGER THAN THE INDEX FINGER:

Those with longer ring fingers are mostly good-looking. Most of them have the charm of a heartthrob. They make a lot of friends and love to chat. They also have a natural ability to make relationships work.
They’re also thought to be more aggressive, and more likely to take risks.
A greater testosterone can be an indicator of high levels of achievement in sports as well as greater athletic ability.
They make better soldiers, engineers, speculators and chess players, and are better at solving problems such as crosswords.

“B FINGER” : RING FINGER IS SHORTER THAN THE INDEX FINGER:

People with shorter ring finger have high self-esteem and are kind of narcissistic.
They enjoy solitude and dislike to be interrupted when they are having some alone time.
Just because they prefer to work alone doesn’t mean they are an introvert. In sticky situations, they’re quick on their toes and eager to guide the way.
They are not the type to take the initiative in love, instead, they tend to receive the affection that’s given to them.

“C FINGER” : RING FINGER AND THE INDEX FINGER ARE THE SAME LENGTH:

Those whose ring fingers and index fingers are the same length are peace loving and conflict makes them uncomfortable.

Dhoni’s only condition for his biopic will make you love him a little more.

"Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one man whose name is enough to bring credibility. And with his track record as one of India's most successful captain, wicket keeper and batsman, we coudn't be more proud of the Ranchi boy! And if there's a movie on his life, how can we possibly dare miss it."

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one man whose name is enough to bring credibility. And with his track record as one of India’s most successful captain, wicket keeper and batsman, we coudn’t be more proud of the Ranchi boy! And if there’s a movie on his life, how can we possibly dare miss it.

‘MS Dhoni-The Untold Story’- the movie on India’s Captain Cool is slated to hit the theatres soon and Dhoni is a busy man along with the film’s leading man Sushant Singh Rajput.

Dhoni talked about his film to the media and how he wished his biopic not to ‘glorify’him. Sounding like the perfect grounded Sportsperson that he is, Dhoni said he wanted the movie to potray his journey into the Indian Cricket Team rather than anything else. And that’s what he told the film’s director Neeraj Pandey when the script was on the table.

Dhoni talked about how he relived all those moments of his life when he saw the uncut version of the film and got nostalgic. “All those things that had happened became fresh in my memory – from where I lived, how my school was, where we played. I went blank. It was nice to be in the past for a moment and you get a view of what others think about me. I have never talked to my parents about cricket and it was nice to get a glimpse of what they really thought about me,” he said.

The biopic also stars newcomers Disha Patni and Kiara Advani. While Disha will be playing Dhoni’s love interest, Kiara plays his wife Sakshi Rawat.

Presently the man is touring in New York promoting the movie along with wife Sakshi.

INSIDE STORY: Tapsee touched on her private parts on a daily basis.

Dimple Beauty Tapsee seems to have left all hopes on her career in Telugu Cinema and pinned all her hopes on Bollywood even though she is not registering success there. Here new Bollywood film, Pink in which she shared screen along with the Superstar Amitabh Bachchan released this week.

The movie has got some terrific reviews but the openings are not on par.

The actress and the entire team are aggressively promoting the film to make it reach the audience. In one of the interviews, the actress revealed about how she faced eve-teasing and harassment during her days in Delhi.

"I can say it is almost on a daily basis in Delhi when we used to travel in DTC buses to go to the college. They would touch our private parts inappropriately. During the festivals, it is a nightmare, if we venture into crowded areas in Delhi during that time, people would enjoy touching girls in inappropriate places," Tapsee said in anger.

The 5 Best Biceps Exercises For Massive Arms .

To develop an impressive set of arms you need to target them from every angle, and hit them hard in a number of ways. The Biceps muscles include both the long and short heads of the Biceps Brachii, as well as the Brachialis muscle. While the short head of the biceps are worked at pretty much every angle; the long head of the biceps, the part that provides the ‘peak’ of the biceps when flexing, is better worked when the biceps are in a more flexed position, known as passive tension.

The triceps muscles include the lateral, long and medial heads of the Triceps Brachii. Again just like the biceps, certain portions of the triceps are more and less active in different positions.

Here are six highly effective exercises that will help you do just that

Exercise 1: Biceps Curl 28’s

Some, if not most, would have heard of the 21’s method for performing biceps curls. You perform 7 reps at the bottom range of a curl, 7 at the top, and then 7 full range of motion reps. It’s pretty exhausting!

Technique Tips

-Pick a weight that will allow you to complete around 10 repetitions, max, during a full range of motion biceps curl.

– Perform each repetition in a controlled way, about 1 second on the way up and 2 seconds on the way down.

– 28’s should be a grind to complete and you should be struggling to do the last 7 reps, but focus on squeezing your biceps as hard as you can each rep, both on the way up and down.

– Focus on quality; try to resist swinging until you absolutely have to!

Exercise 2: Tate Press

The Tate Press is an advanced triceps exercise that helps to target the medial head of the triceps. The great thing about the Tate Press is that it’s almost impossible to cheat whilst doing it.

Technique Tips

– To make this exercise the most effective it can be you need to choose a weight that will allow you to get around 12-20 repetitions per set.

-Maintain a nice tight position on the bench with the shoulders back and the elbows flared out towards the side, then focus on most of the movement coming from the elbows.

-You can also do this on an incline bench which would help isolate the medial head of the triceps a little more.

-If you hold the dumbbells so your little finger is all the way touching one side, so your hand is off-set from the middle of the dumbbell; this will help to maintain the tension in the triceps in the top position of the exercise.

Exercise 3: Zottman Curl

This is one of the best exercises out there to develop overall arm thickness, because it thoroughly stresses all of the elbow flexors.

Technique Tips

 -This exercise can feel a little weird at first, but after a few workouts you will soon get used to it, and sure to be one of your favourite go-to upper arm builders.

– Select a weight based on what you can lift on the positive concentric portion of the lift, slowly pronate (rotate inwards) your wrists at the top of the movement, and then lower slowly for around 4 seconds under control.

 -Multiple sets of 12-15 repetitions work the best for this exercise.

Exercise 4: Rolling Triceps Extension

This exercise is essentially a combination between a lying triceps extension and a dumbbell pullover, which, as a result, allows you to use more weight than you normally could during a traditional triceps extension.

Technique Tips

 -Perform the exercise for 10-20 reps as this exercise, when loaded excessively, can place a lot of stress on the elbows.

-Do not explosively lock-out your elbows, keep them very slightly bent as you extend your elbow, making sure tension on the triceps is maintained.

-Don’t be too tempted to go heavy on this exercise because excessive weight during this exercise can put unwanted stress on the elbows.

-This exercise works best towards the end of your workout for multiple sets of 12-20 reps, so keep it in your toolbox for when you want a great finisher to your training session.

Exercise 5: One-Arm Leaning Rope Curl

The brachialis muscle is widely neglected during most arm workouts, and it shouldn’t be. Although the brachialis muscle is not as aesthetically desired as the biceps brachii muscles, it is nevertheless a very important muscle to develop if overall upper arm thickness is a goal.

Technique Tips

 -Bend your torso slightly forward to help keep tension through the full range of motion.

-Feet can be parallel or one foot slightly in front of the other.

 -Perform the concentric portion of the exercise fast, squeeze at the top, and then lower under control for 2-4 seconds.

-If you don’t have a rope available for this exercise, then you can still perform it by just holding on to the end of a cable without any attachments.

-The brachialis muscle responds best to heavy weight and explosive concentric reps, so sets of 6-8 reps would work best for this exercise.

Exercise 6: Band Tricep Push-Downs

The Band Triceps Push-Down exercise makes this list purely because of its cruelness factor. It’s pretty nasty, especially when performed how I would suggest you perform it at the end of a session!

The technique is pretty simple, and very similar to a Rope Triceps Push-Down. You should extend your elbows, part the band at the bottom a little and squeeze your triceps as hard as you can. The increased tension on the band in the end position means that the tension is the greatest when you are squeezing your triceps the hardest.

Technique Tips

 -Select a resistance band that will allow you to perform 20 repetitions with good technique.

 -Each repetition should be controlled, and focus on the squeeze at the end of each one.

-Pulling the band apart a little and turning your elbows out as you squeeze will help with triceps muscle recruitment.

-Perform 100 reps in as few sets as you can, but still focusing on quality of each rep.

– As you progress with this exercise either use a heavier band, or try to complete the 100 reps in fewer sets.

In Spite Of Being Cousins, Emraan Hashmi Refused A Film Opposite Alia Bhatt ! Here’s Why…

Emraan Hashmi has always been famous for his kisses in B-Town. Yes, aptly termed as ‘Serial Kisser’ Emraan keeps getting many movie offers and recently too he was offered a movie opposite Alia Bhatt. But unfortunately, he refused the same; do you want to know why? Don’t think that things aren’t good between Alia and Emraan, as the reason is very different.

Well, the reason is that the movie was a romcom and Emraan wasn’t interested in playing a romantic character against Alia Bhatt, isn’t it surprising?

If you don’t know let us tell you that Emraan and Alia are cousins and if they would have paired up for this romcom, it would have been quite awkward for the duo, isn’t it?

Further, reports also add that not only did Emraan refuse this role, but he was pretty upset with the maker, as to how could he bring up such an idea.

In an interview with a leading daily, Emraan had clarified that he would love playing a role opposite Alia, but wouldn’t like to romance her.

He had added “I can only work with her as a brother… Any other thing would make me sick. I can’t romance my cousin and I don’t think anyone has done that; it would be awkward”.

We guess the filmmakers would have to change the idea and will have to come up with something new, if they want to cast Alia and Emraan together.

How to Take Screenshots on Android Auto.

Android has had native screenshots for ages now, and seeing as that’s a pretty important feature, all of the Google-made accessories also support this functionality. While the setting is in an easy place on Android Wear, it’s well-hidden on Android Auto. Here’s how to find it.

The first thing you’ll need to do is enable Developer Settings in the Android Auto app by tapping on the “Android Auto” text on the top 10 times. For a more detailed look at Developer Settings.

Once the Developer Settings menu has been enabled, jump in by tapping the three-button overflow menu in the top right corner and selecting “Developer Settings.”

There are some interesting entries found here, but the one we’re most interested in is “Share screenshot now.” Go ahead and give that tap. It probably goes without saying, but I’m going to say it anyway: your phone has to be connected to an Android Auto head unit before this will work.

Once you take a screenshot, the share dialog will pop up immediately, and you can send it wherever you like. But if you choose not to share it, the shot will just be saved to the root of the Pictures folder, so you can just share it later. That’s pretty neat. For simplicity, however, I just upload it to a dedicated screenshots folder in Drive.

And that’s pretty much it. Of course, you should never do this while you’re driving—if there’s something thatimportant on the screen, pull over and take a picture. Otherwise, just let it go, man. It’s not worth it.

Ranbir-Anushka in ADHM, SRK-Kajol in Dilwale: When Bollywood stars recreated popular jodis on film .

It isn't only KJo who made Anushka-Ranbir recreate the Sridevi-Rishi magic in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. In the recent past, other stars too have paid a tribute to their favourite jodis on 70mm in their own style.

It's been 27 years since we heard Sridevi calling Rishi Kapoor, "Mere Shona ... Shona Shona," on the silver screen. With a near-perfect jodi, beautiful locales, great music and an interesting storyline, Yash Chopra immortalised romance once again with his 1989 cult film Chandni. As the film completes 27 years, the makers of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil paid a tribute to this romantic saga and the hit jodi of Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor with a new still starring Anushka Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor.

Anushka Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor, who will be seen in Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, have recreated a perfect shot from the popular song Tere Mere Hothon Pe in Chandni and how.

With Anushka clad in a yellow saree and Ranbir in a colourful sweater, this still from ADHM will defintely take you back in time.

In over 100 years of Indian cinema, Bollywood has been a witness to some of the most memorable on-screen jodis and some of their equally memorable on-screen moments. From Raj Kapoor-Nargis to Sharmila Tagore-Rajesh Khanna to Amitabh Bachchan-Rekha to Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol, these on-screen couples have immortalised love on the big screen. And filmmakers can't help but try and recreate the magic every now and then.

And it isn't only KJo who made Anushka-Ranbir recreate the Sridevi-Rishi magic in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. In the recent past, other stars too have paid a tribute to their favourite jodis on 70mm in their own style.

Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol in Dilwale

If you are a movie buff, you can never forget the iconic song Pyaar Hua Ikraar Hua where Raj Kapoor and Nargis are standing under one umbrella in a rainy night. Cut to 2015, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol tried to recreate the magic in the song Janam Janam from last year's Dilwale.

Shah Rukh Khan-Preity Zinta in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

When heroes chased heroines through gardens and parks, director Shakti Samanta took another route to woo a girl. He made his heroine sit in a train to Darjeeling and his hero follow her in a car singing, "Mere Sapno Ki Rani Kab Aeyegi Tu" in Aradhana. The song became a hit overnight and so did the jodi, Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore. And 39 years later, Aditya Chopra made Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta relive the retro era in Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke song in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

Shah Rukh Khan- in Chennai Express

Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in a still from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in a still from Chennai Express
"Jaa Simran Jaa, Jee Le Apni Zindagi". And Simran, clad in a lehenga, gets her cue to start running behind a moving train that has her Raj on it. This iconic scene from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge has stayed with Shah Rukh-Kajol fans ever since the film hit the screens in 1995. And interestingly, SRK himself recreated this popular scene in Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express when he had to help Deepika Padukone board the train. And the rest is history.

Mallya can seek Emergency Certificate to return to India: MEA.

Dismissing beleaguered businessman Vijay Mallya's claim that he is unable to travel back as his passport has been suspended by the Indian authorities, the government today said any citizen can approach the nearest Indian Embassy or High Commission and apply for an Emergency Certificate to return to the country.

Underlining that the Emergency Certificate is specifically meant to provide a travel document to an Indian citizen to return to India, MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said this facility is available to Mallya, should he wish to apply for it.

"Our position is very clear. Any Indian citizen who is outside India and who does not have a valid travel document for any reason, only has to approach the nearest Indian Embassy or High Commission and apply for an Emergency Certificate," Swarup said when asked about Mallya telling a Delhi court that he wants to come to India but is unable to travel back as his passport has been suspended.

Mallya, who is at present in London, made the submission through his counsel before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in a case lodged for allegedly evading summons in connection with a FERA violation matter.

On July 9, the court had cancelled the exemption from personal appearance granted to him and had directed him to appear before it.

In his application moved through senior advocate Ramesh Gupta, Mallya requested the court that some time be given so that his appearance can be secured.

The counsel submitted the copy of an email sent by Mallya, stating that his passport was suspended on April 23, 2016 without giving him any opportunity of being heard.

Enforcement Directorate (ED), however, told the court that Mallya is already evading proceedings in several other cases and sought time to reply to the plea moved by him today.

The court has now put up the matter for further hearing on October 4.

In its plea against Mallya filed through prosecutor N K Matta, the ED had also sought issuance of non-bailable warrant against the Chairman of the now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines to secure his presence in the ongoing trial of the case, which is at its final stage.

Rogue One' Actor Riz Ahmed Pens Essay About Being "Typecast as a Terrorist".

"As my acting career developed, I was no longer cast as a radical Muslim — except at the airport," the globe-trotting actor said in a U.K. newspaper column.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story actor Riz Ahmed says he's most often "typecast as a terrorist," not in his movie roles but when passing through airport security checks to get to international film sets in a post-9/11 world.

"Although my U.S. airport experience is smoother, I still get stopped before boarding a plane at Heathrow every time I fly to the U.S.," the British actor revealed in a personal essay published on Thursday in The Guardian.

Ahmed said the audition room and the airport interrogation room have the same pitfalls for him. "They are places where the threat of rejection is real. They are also places where you are reduced to your marketability or threat-level, where the length of your facial hair can be a deal-breaker, where you are seen, and hence see yourself, in reductive labels — never as 'just a bloke called Dave,'" he wrote.

The British actor is best known for his roles in Nightcrawler, Four Lions and Jason Bourne, alongside roles in film festival entries Una and City of Tiny Lights. Ahmed said that movie stardom has only offered him familiarity with airport security staff.

"As I've traveled more, I've also done more film work, increasing the chances of being recognized by the young Asian staff at Heathrow," he wrote.

"I have had my films quoted back at me by someone rifling through my underpants, and been asked for selfies by someone swabbing me for explosives," he noted wryly.

Ahmed's work as rebel pilot Bodhi Rook can be seen in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story when it premieres Dec. 16.

A Billionaire With Fake Degrees And Passport - This Is Patanjali's CEO Achrya Balkrishna

Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved, a fast growing FMCG whose net sales for the financial year 2015-16 stood at Rs 5,000 crore, is a household name now. But Ramdev is just a face of the consumer products giant. Balkrishna Suvedi, often referred as Acharya Balkrishna – a close aide of the Yoga teacher, is the man behind the huge business.

The contentious 43-year-old man, who owns a majority stake (94%) in Patanjali Ayurved, has now entered the Hurun India Rich List 2016 as a billionaire with an astounding Rs 25,600 crore ($3.82 billion) under his belt.

There are a number of controversies associated with Balkrishna too – including those that question his Indian citizenship and academic qualifications. His high school degree – ‘Purv Madhyma’ and Sanskrit degree – ‘Shastri’ from Sampurna Nand Sanskrit University – do not allegedly exist on records. He was charged with cheating and criminal conspiracy for procuring fake degrees to acquire an Indian passport.

He went into hiding, but was later arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) in 2012. The agency claimed that his passport was issued based on forged high school and graduation certificates and that he owned a pistol without a legal permit.

Subsequently, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a case against him on charges of money laundering, but the cases were dropped after the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) came to power in 2014. The two-year CBI investigation against him found “no evidence” of wrongdoing and he was given a clean chit.

Patanjali Ayurved Kendra Pvt. Ltd. had donated a sum of Rs 11,00,000 on March 8, 2009 to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – then in the Opposition – before 2009 general elections as donation. It was revealed in an RTI response given by the Election Commission. Born to Nepalese parents – Sumitra Devi and Jay Vallabh – who later migrated to India, Balkrishna met Ramdev at a gurukul in Haryana. They founded an ayurvedic pharmaceutical company named Divya Pharmacy in Haridwar in the 1990s. To cash in on the popularity and huge following of Ramdev worldwide, Balkrishna later helped set up a number of other businesses serving as the managing director in 34 of them. He heads three trusts associated with Ramdev and his Patanjali.

Like an expert businessman, Balkrishna successfully understood the psyche of the Indian consumers and launched a campaign for swadeshi (indigenous) products, challenging the monopoly of FMCG majors in the Indian market. The promotion of the company and its products was started through Ramdev’s yoga camps and events as well as TV programmes. Notably, Ramdev does not hold stake in the company.

Patanjali Ayurved launched its products in the market under a competitive price structure with natural, herbal and ayurvedic branding. Unlike other FMCGs, Patanjali Ayurved’s marketing strategies defied traditional norms. While other companies are cautious about new product launches and conduct market research before entering new categories, Patanjali has launched its products in multiple categories almost simultaneously without any market research.

From conception and development to final packaging, Balkrishna remains involved with each product and it hits the market only after his go ahead. He insists on maintaining “quality” with a rural or rustic image of the company’s products.

Balkrishna believes Patanjali has changed the consumer perception that Indian products are inferior to international products.

Patanjali recently beat all established FMCG firms in the country. It even ate into the market share of players like Dabur, Baidyanath and Zandu that deal with herbal and ayurvedic products. The company has also entered into joint ventures with some foreign firms and has been exporting its products to countries like the Middle East, the United States and Canada to meet the projected turnover target of Rs 10,000 crore in the ongoing financial year (2016-17). By fiscal 2020-21, the company aims achieve its sales targets of Rs 1 lakh crore.

Different from traditional CEOs, Balkrishna prefers to keep a low profile. His life style differs vastly from his contemporaries. He wears traditional white kurta and dhoti and speaks Hindi. He does not use an iPhone. His work station does not have a computer. He prefers to read from printouts stacked on his desk rather than online.

He claims to work for 15 hours every day, even on Sundays and holidays. He – as he claims – has not taken a single so far.

World's six most powerful smartphones all hail from China.

"The OnePlus 3 is followed in the current AnTuTu ranking by the Vivo Xplay5 Elite and the LeEco Max2, both of which sell in Asian markets."

The OnePlus 3 smartphone has taken the top spot in the famous AnTuTu performance benchmark with an average score of 140.288, as of August 2016. It comes ahead of five other Chinese handsets, most of which are only available in Asia.

Selling for just $399, the OnePlus 3 has nothing to envy of pricier, high-end handsets from Apple and Samsung -- the iPhone 6s and the Galaxy S7 edge -- when it comes to performance. With a design largely inspired by the iPhone 6s, this 5.5-inch cell phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 16MP and 8MP Sony cameras and 6GB of RAM. It runs OxygenOS, a mobile operating system based on Android Marshmallow and developed by OnePlus.

The OnePlus 3 is followed in the current AnTuTu ranking by the Vivo Xplay5 Elite and the LeEco Max2, both of which sell in Asian markets. The Vivo Xplay5 Elite is the first Chinese smartphone to get a screen with curved edges. This 5.43-inch mobile sells for approximately $674. The LeEco Max2 is a 5.7-inch smartphone with features including a 21MP camera with optical image stabilization. In China, it sells for under $450. Note that both phones have 6GB of RAM.

The first handset made outside of China to appear in the ranking is the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, in seventh place, followed by Apple's iPhone 6s in eighth. It remains to be seen whether its successor, the freshly unveiled iPhone 7, will be able to match the performances of its Chinese competitors and their Apple-inspired creations.

The 10 highest scoring smartphones in the AnTuTu performance benchmark

1. OnePlus 3 (140.288)

2. Vivo Xplay 5 Elite (138.706)

3. LeECo Max 2 (138.026)

Dogs CAN'T smell fear - but they have other ways of telling if you're scared of them .

To be fair, WE'RE scared

While snakes and spiders unsurprisingly top the list of animal phobias, cynophobia (the fear of dogs) affects tens of millions of people around the world.

Our canine chums may not have eight legs, venomous fangs and lurk in dark corners, but that's the thing about phobias - they're often an irrational fear .

Of course, some people have just cause to be wary around dogs , and for others, the 'fear' may be more of an aversion.

But can dogs themselves sense this fear?

It's a long standing theory that animals can indeed smell our fear - dogs included - but is this the case?

Well, yes and no.

Having conducted years of laboratory and field research on canine olfaction (the action of smelling), Quora user Jim Johnston has provided some insight.

Can your dog smell the fear in sweat?
"It is possible that a fear reaction changes human chemistry in ways that dogs might detect.

"If this were true, individual dogs might well learn to detect it without explicit training because it may be to the dog's advantage to do so."

"However, I doubt that science has isolated off gassing compounds associated with fear reactions."

But the saying is not completely redundant - they do have other ways of detecting fear.

"I suspect it is more likely that if some dogs respond to human fear reactions it is on the basis of visual cues associated with human behavior.

"When people are afraid, their behavior often changes in some common ways, regardless of otherwise varying circumstances.

Not all dogs are friendly
"For instance, our muscles usually tense up, our breathing changes, and our movements are likely to become quicker.

"Dogs are very sensitive to subtle aspects of human behavior and are likely to respond to such changes, especially because such circumstances have in the past had a significant impact on the dog's behavior."

So although we DO sweat more when afraid, secreting chemicals, 'smelling fear' is more a handy phrase.

Google awarding $200,000 if you can hack Android devices.

Google recently announced the Project Zero Prize in which it’s offering hackers up to $200,000 (first prize) to hack Android devices “knowing only the devices’ phone number and email address.”

Sounds pretty tricky, which is why it’s offering a lot of dough to folks who not only know how, but are willing to share the secret with Google and not someone else… like a government that might pay more. Google won’t just stop at first place, though. It’s awarding $100,000 to the second winner and $50,000 to third place.

“Our main motivation is to gain information about how these bugs and exploits work,” Google explained. “There are often rumors of remote Android exploits, but it’s fairly rare to see one in action. We’re hoping this contest will improve the public body of knowledge on these types of exploits.”
