Here’s why Ranveer Singh is the coolest man at 30! Happy Birthday!

With just 5 years of his stay in B’town, Ranveer Singh sure has won the hearts of many including the queen of hearts Deepika Padukone. Not only is he known for his quirky style and don’t-give-a-rat’s-a*s attitude, his movies have made a special mark for themselves starting from Band Baaja Baaraat to his latest hit Dil Dhadakne Do.

The actor turned 30 today and we can’t help but write about how awesome he is. Take a look.

1) It should be illegal to be this cool

Remember when Hrithik Roshan challenged his Bollywood co-stars for the Bang Bang dare on Twitter? He challenged Ranveer Singh to pose in the middle of any main street in Mumbai for his fans. Pose he did, but took the challenge up a notch by dancing on the streets on Hrithik’s songs itself.

2) Because he isn’t afraid of anything or anyone

Ranveer Singh is one of the very few Bollywood stars to have endorsed a condom brand and promoted safe sex. With the type of influence Bollywood has in India, we wish there were more celebrities taking up such causes.

3) He really isn’t

Not just safe sex, Ranveer also acted for a Rupa Frontline Ad commercial and owned it like a boss. Don’t believe us? Take a look for yourself.

4) His clothes make a statement, quite literally

Ranveer Singh and bold fashion moves go hand-in-hand. Making a statement is almost a part of his daily routine and we don’t know anyone who doesn’t adore it!

5) He has a much needed sense of humour

AIB Roast. Enough said.

6) He is rock solid

After suffering a shoulder injury on the sets of Bajirao Mastani, Ranveer Singh live tweeted a picture right before his surgery like a true sport. What’s more, he posed for all his fans right in front of the hospital after getting a discharge.

7) He admits to his love interest like a man!

Deepika Padukone and him have given us serious relationship goals.

8) Friendship goals

Arjun Kapoor’s friendship with Ranveer Singh is more talked about in Bollywood than tales about many famous couples. Their bromance is an inspiration for many.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCZ5pzr72To

9) He is the human form of Energizer battery

Ranveer Singh is always packed with energy. Whether it’s a movie promotion or an award function, we have never seen him looking low or down. He can put life into anything. Look at him bringing his desi uncle moves on.

10) The right attitude above all

The reason he is so amazing is because he has the right attitude. He does what he feels like and does not fear being judged by anyone. That’s what we call living like a king!

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.

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.

Here’s a way to find the right blush for your skin tone!

Contrary to popular belief, blush does not come only in shades of pink & peach. There is a great variety of shades available on the shelves for all skin tones. Picking the right shade is very important as it can make you look stunning & healthy while the wrong shade may make you enter the clown zone. Apart from the colour, the application holds a lot of importance too. Use the blush brush to add a stroke of colour on the apples of your cheeks and start blending. Make sure there are no harsh edges and to do that you need to BLEND.. BLEND.. and BLEND. A subtle sweep of the blush will uplift your cheekbones & enhance your face. Ladies, take your time to find the right blush for your skin and all we can say is – Don’t rush, just blush…..

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 52^nd pick in round two.

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.

source

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!

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!

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.

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
