    Lewis Hamilton was investigated by the police recently for using Snapchat while he rode his Harley!

    The Formula One world champion has done it again, before you jump to conclusions, what we’re talking about here is that he has managed to grab the attention from the Police yet again for something you would think is not that serious. Recently, Lewis Hamilton was investigated by the police after his Snapchat video of riding his Harley Davidson on the roads of Auckland​,​ surfaced​ on the Internet.

    Well, it is a serious issue in New Zealand because since 2009, it has been deemed illegal to use your mobile phones while you’re on the road, driving. The video shows Hamilton panning as he tries to show what’s happening around him while he is riding.

    The investigation was being handled by the local police of Auckland and ​in​ the end; they ​let ​the three-time F1 champion walk free because there wasn’t sufficient evidence available against him​. The police spokesperson said, “The video footage available does not provide us with sufficient enough evidence that an offence has occurred.” The spokesperson added, “We would like to reiterate our earlier statements that police take the issue of mobile phone use whilst driving or riding very seriously. It is a significant distraction and a major risk to all road users.”

    Before this, Lewis was fined around £300 after he performed an illegal ‘burnout’ in 2010 before the Australian Grand Prix. “I was driving in an over-exuberant manner and, as a result, was stopped by the police,” the champion said in his statement after the incident. And ended by adding, “What I did was silly and I want to apologise for it.”

  • All that inspires us about the IRONMAN of India: Milind Soman

    All that inspires us about the IRONMAN of India: Milind Soman

    Do you remember the smoldering hot model that featured in Alisha Chinai’s famous track from the 90’s called Made In India? (Hint: that chiseled torso with those amazing eyes is something a 90’s kid would never forget). Yes, you guessed it right, its Milind Soman who once made every woman fall head over heels (for obvious reasons) and he’s is still one of the most desired men in Bollywood after over two decades.

    This 50 year old Bollywood actor, model and athlete follows an inspiring fitness regime and urges India to be cautious about their fitness. If you have not been taking your fitness seriously, Milind Soman might serve as an inspiration towards your daily workouts.

    Let us now take a look at this list of reasons why Milind Soman – the Ironman of India has been our ultimate inspiration during all these years.

     

    #1 Again, he is often referred to as the Ironman of India

    Milind Soman bagged the title of being the ‘Ironman’ in 2015 by successfully completing the world’s toughest Ironman Triathlon in Zurich, Switzerland. What’s more, this god of fitness completed the entire triathlon in just 15 hours and 19 minutes. Well, that’s something that most of us can only aspire to achieve.

    #2 He went from being a chain smoker to a non-smoker

    Trying to quit smoking is one of the easiest things to do in life, but making it happen is quite the opposite. Talking about going smoke free, Milind Soman turned tables and how! In an interview with NDTV last year, Soman quoted, “Having been naturally inclined to sports since a young age, I felt terrible about myself and that’s how I was able to release the habit for good over six months and now I can’t even passive smoke”. RESPECT!

    #4 From his health to his confidence, he’s been on top!

    Everyone knows he’s got a body to die for; boys and girls both want it for different reasons, of course (wink). Talk about his confidence and how effortlessly chilled out his attitude is. For example, that Old Spice advertisement he appeared in? Yeah, we rest our case.

    #5 Hollywood has got George Clooney, Bollywood is backed by Milind Soman
