    Relationship Goals: Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis tie the knot!

    Our faith in love has been restored and how! Reportedly, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have finally tied the knot in a secret wedding ceremony in Los Angeles. A source told PEOPLE about the ceremony without any further information.

    The couple first met on Fox’s That 70s Show which aired from 1998 to 2006 but they began dating in 2012. Kunis has been spotted wearing an engagement ring since 2014 which also happens to be the year the couple welcomed their daughter Wyatt Isabelle.

    We can’t wait for the wedding pictures to be out (if they ever come out) but here are a few pictures of the couple that gave us some serious relationship goals.

  • Why do all good things come to an end? RIP: Bennifer

    Why do all good things come to an end? RIP: Bennifer

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck first met as co-stars on the sets of Pearl Harbor, then reconnected during their 2003 film Daredevil and started dating soon afterwards… it was love indeed.

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck-2

    The trouble in their relationship had been brewing for years and we all saw Jennifer Garner trying her best to salvage her marriage with Ben Affleck for the sake of their kids. Apart from his movies, Ben Affleck had been known for his bad boy image and when the couple started their family, the whole world thought that those good ol’ days of gambling, drinking and flirting were over for Affleck. 

    Although Garner had never criticised him publically, the couple had been seeking help from marriage counselors for quite some time now but all in vain. They decided to separate their ways and announced their divorce officially after months of speculation about their marital status.

    Thousands of fans have been devastated by the news of the couple’s divorce and few decided to go all over Twitter to express their grief. Here’s what they tweeted.

    The most powerful slingshot: The US Navy’s new aircraft launch system

    The US Navy has come up with a new aircraft launch system called EMALS (Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System) which is just a euphemism for a slingshot on steroids.

     

    Compared to ye olde steam catapults, this new launch system is relatively lighter, smaller and requires less maintenance. It provides greater speed, acceleration and precision… all this while being Eco-friendly. The Naval Air Warfare Center also reported that this system took over 15 years in the making.

    The main purpose of this new aircraft launch system is to help more aircraft take off, manned or unmanned. Results show up to 25% faster!

    So exactly how powerful is the strongest slingshot in the world? Take a look for yourself.

  • First Indian drafted in NBA, congratulations to Satnam Singh Bhamara!

    First Indian drafted in NBA, congratulations to Satnam Singh Bhamara!

    Satnam Singh Bhamara just became the first Indian ever to be drafted in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

    The talented 19-year old hails from a remote village, Ballo Ke, in Punjab. The closest paved road from his house was 4 km away but that didn’t stop him from making his way into international glory. Towering at 7’2, Satnam was chosen by Dallas Maverick as the 52nd pick in round two.

    mavs

    While the young blood’s talent is still raw, he does seem to have a bright future ahead of him which brings a lot of hope, pride and joy for India.

    After being drafted, Satnam said “I feel good about it because in India there are a lot of players who could have a chance to come here and play in college and high schools. I think I can open the door for everyone to come here and play. So it’s good for India and all the players. It’s good for me and my country.”( source )

    According to his coach Kenny Natt, “Everything Singh must improve is related to his athleticism, whereas he’s already acquired some hard-to-develop basketball skills. For a player with Singh’s background, that’s surprising. For a player with Singh’s physical attributes, that’s downright incredible. The upside is obvious and astounding.” ( source ) 

    Satnam Singh is the son of a farmer, Balbir Singh Bhamara who is also 7’2 and has had an unrelenting passion for basketball. However, he could never fulfill his dreams as his parents insisted that he tended to their fields in Punjab. But Balbir didn’t take this opportunity away from his son, and encouraged Satnam to follow his dreams.

    Satnam said. “He (his father) never got the chance that I am getting now. He is very proud of me, and I want to play this game as well as I can play. That is my task now.” ( source

     

    We would like to congratulate Satnam Singh on his hard work and success and wish him all the best to hit new milestones in his sporting journey.

  • Back to the future is now the present, introducing the Lexus hoverboard!

    Back to the future is now the present, introducing the Lexus hoverboard!

    The future is here! No we aren’t giving you fake news or hyping a hoax. The luxury car making company Lexus recently revealed a teaser of an actual performing hoverboard. The kind you envied Marty McFly riding. And guess what? It actually levitates!

    hover

    While the Lexus hoverboard is still in its testing stage, it has reportedly given remarkable results.

    A huge amount of effort has gone into making this dream a reality as the Executive vice president of Lexus International, Mark Templin elucidated that the company had been working on the project for the past 18 months.

    With this right kind of innovation, instead of giving a slightly improved model of their products like most companies do, Lexus moved forward to give the world what it really demands: An actual working Hoverboard!

    Sooooo how does this work again?

    Well, the Lexus hoverboard currently called “Slide” uses magnetic levitation to achieve smooth hovering frictionless movement. Liquid nitrogen cooled superconductors along with permanent magnets allow the Lexus hoverboard to achieve the impossible.

    lexus-hoverboard-slide

    The sole drawback is that it currently only works in a controlled environment where there is a metal layer underneath.

                          

    While you too have to wait eagerly for this heavenly product much like the rest of us, you can catch any news or updates at the following hashtag #lexushover

  • 10 reasons why Wolverine the ‘badass’ would definitely be a bad roommate!

    10 reasons why Wolverine the ‘badass’ would definitely be a bad roommate!

    When we hear the term superheroes, Wolverine is one that comes to mind among few. While many of us wish we had his super powers, those adamantine claws and regenerative factors topped with super human strength make him a real badass superhero. But in reality if we really knew Wolverine, believe us – living with him would be pretty sucky. Here are some reasons why Wolverine would make the worst roommate ever.

    1. Hair, hair, everywhere: Wolverine is known to be hairy, that implies hair strands all over the house! Maybe in the food, in the bathroom or on your bed, god knows where all. Ewww……

    wolverinejackman

    source

    2. Anger Management: Having a roommate comes with a lot of quarrels over trivial issues – that’s a given. And when that time comes, be prepared to get thrashed, scratched and bashed all over by this angry mutant. Even if the argument was in your favour, be insanely careful when he’s in a foul mood lest you might end up regretting picking up a fight with the wrong team!

                                                

    source

    3. Drunken Stupor: Wolverine is known to be a drunk, and most of the time you’ll be that friend who’ll have to carry his drunken ass home! Seriously, listening to all his issues (he does have a loooooot of issues) and resolving the fights he picks up with random strangers is going to be a task. Worst case scenario? Imagine him losing his temper over his roommate without realizing you’re on his side.

    wolverine beer

    4. Getting slashed: You’ll probably end up getting slashed, a lot of times. Perhaps when you have guests over, you’ll have to sleep all stuffed together on a single bed with him. And bam! You get stabbed in the stomach!

    stabbedsource

    5. The aftermath: Half the time you’ll be apologising to people for the trouble he has caused, perhaps he had a fight with the neighbours, or he broke the car of a random dude just cause he was angry or he tore a train apart cause he was drunk! Realising that these people can’t really stand up against Wolvie, random thugs might end up beating you instead for revenge.

    wolverine-frownsource

    6. The lady killer: Imagine after a lot of hit and tries you finally bring a girl home and in a single glace at Wolvie she dumps you on the spot and falls for your roommate instead! Bummer, there goes your golden opportunity again!

                                                        

    source

    7. The house filth: Men being men, the house will tend to get dirty with bits of trash here and there, probably a lot of cigarette butts and crushed beer cans lying on the ground. And you can’t really expect Wolverine to grab the broom and start cleaning. Or putting on gloves to do the dishes. Get to work and clean the place ya lazy bum.

                                                     
    source

    8. The fans: If Wolverine did exist, half the time your house would be surrounded by fans wanting to ask questions and to get autographs and what not. Since Wolverine is a master at being lazy you might have to end up dealing with this too. Most people would be envious of you living with a superhero, only if they knew!

    wolverine-psy-gangnam-style-hugh-jackmansource

    9. The daily bread: Being a superhero is a 24/7 job. Meaning – you’ll pretty much be doing all the earning in the house, providing the daily bread, paying the bills and fulfilling the drinking and smoking habits of that lazy mutant, all this comes under your territory. Think again, is it really worth it?

    sleepinsource

    10. The wet dog smell: People usually smell really good after taking a shower. However, Wolverine would give a different experience to you if you meet him right after a shower. An experience that will leave you scarred and will only remind you of your wet dog!

    swordsource

    Despite all these facts, we’d still gladly accept Wolverine as our roommate. After all, you don’t get an opportunity to have superhero roommate every day. Mi casa es su casa

    Happy Birthday to the legendary Star Lord – Chris Pratt!

    Born on 21st June in Minnesota, the American actor Chris Pratt turned 36 this month. This has certainly been the year for the Guardians of the Galaxy fame, who recently stole people’s hearts being the Father of raptors(Alpha) in the Jurassic World movie.

     

    Talking about his fatherhood, the Hollywood heartthrob also celebrated his son Jack Pratt’s birthday on the same day as Father’s Day! Well, that’s a brilliant co-incidence!

    Unfortunately,  the actor will not be spotted on the small screens anymore (for the time being we hope) as his iconic TV role as the goofy and loveable Andy Dwyer came to an end with the final season of Parks and Recreations.  But who knew, this man would look even better fighting dinosaurs and aliens on the 70mm screens!

     

    Here is a look back at the many transformations over the years of the ever rising star Chris Pratt.
