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.

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!

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.

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……

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.

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!

source

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.

source

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!

source

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?

source

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!

source

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

Reason to go commando once every year? Try today!

It amazes us to see how wacky people can be! Did you know June 22^nd every year is celebrated as the No panties day ? Yes, today’s the day when the world can officially function without wearing …erm …panties (yes, we too hate saying the word over and over). As baffling as it may sound, this day made us stumble upon various other ‘raunchy’ days that you just wouldn’t believe exist!

Take a look at some of the wackiest days we have no idea about!

Steak and BJ Day – Celebrated on March 14^th(a month after the Valentine’s Day), this day marks the existence of two things men love – Steak and Bl*wj*bs. Enough said.

Source

No Bra Day – October 13^thmarks the No Bra Day! Well, suddenly June 22^nd has started to make more sense now!

Source

Working Naked Day – Celebrated on the first Friday of February every year, this day marks the freedom of working from home – Naked! Yeah, god knows how that would make people more productive but what the h*ll!

Source

Bathtub Party Day – OH yeah! A tub full of foam and warm water; and your friends in it (with you). Now that’s a great day celebrated on 5^thDecember every year!

Source

World Toilet Day – Well now this day might sound like it should fall in the same category, but it actually is celebrated for a good cause. Falling on the 19^thNovember, the World Toilet Day is celebrated to raise awareness about all people who do not have access to a toilet – despite the human right to water and sanitation.

Source

Underwear Day – August 5^thmarks the Underwear Day. There’s no need for an explanation here now is it?

Source

No Pants Day – Celebrated on the first Friday in May, here’s the day when it’s probably okay to walk out of the house with no pants!

Source

Lips Appreciation Day – Have a thing for someone’s lips? Go ahead tell them on the 16^thMarch without the fear of getting beaten up! It’s lips appreciation day for heaven’s sakes.

7 things a beard virgin should expect while growing one for the first time!

If you’ve never kept a beard and have always been fascinated with one, NOW is the time! We’ve heard some people say that beards don’t suit certain men and beards are unhygienic and what not. Don’t listen to them. Listen to us. People will have their opinions. Some will like it on you, some won’t. But hey! Who cares? At the end of the day you’re the one who has to carry it off right? That’s why here’s a list of things one should expect while growing a beard for the first time.

1. It is a real slow process!
Like they say ‘all good things take time’ and growing a beard is the perfect example. Let’s just say it takes about 2.5-3 weeks for a nice looking beard to grow in its full glory. Therefore, always keep in mind that this change is going to take time!

2. People will have their opinions. Remember – You’re not entitled to any.
Some will encourage you to follow the process of growing a beard and some won’t. Don’t listen to them or anyone who tells you not to do it. Make your own choices and be proud of them.

3. The first week will make you feel erm… not so appealing but like they say – patience is a virtue.
Yes, the first week especially is the hardest. With a small patch of hair covering your face, you feel different. And mostly it’s not good different. Just hang in there!

4. It is going to itch. A lot.
Beard is itchy. Though they do have beard smoothening lotions and different products out there to make it better, it is all a part of the packaged deal. At first it might just annoy the cr*p outta you but then remember – things will get better and you will eventually get used to it.

5. People staying in the hotter parts of the country will experience SOME SWEATING!
Sweating happens everywhere (well almost). So why should your face be an exception?

6. It needs maintenance.
Invest in a good beard trimmer and keep your beard nice and shiny. Though maintaining a beard isn’t too complicated. Just a little bit of brush up every now and then and you’re good to go.

7. Contrary to the popular opinion, the chicas dig it!
Of course women love beards. Not sticking to a stereotype here but most of the women love a little bit of scruff on a man’s face. And that’s a great reason to grow a beard! You’re welcome!

This week in science – a single blood test shows every virus you’ve been exposed too!

Science has added yet another feather to its hat to make lives easier. A single test can now help you find out all the viruses you’ve ever been exposed to. Hard to believe? Read on to know all about it.

“That’s what happens when you invent technology — you can’t imagine what people will do with it,” said Dr. Elledge, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School. This man can reveal every virus you’ve ever been exposed to using less than a drop of your blood!

Source

The main purpose of this test is to become an important research tool for tracking patterns of diseases in various samples of people from different parts of the world. However, this virus is only in the experimental stages for now as it does not detect small viruses. Dr Stephen J. Elledge has named and patented this test as VirScan and it can be completed in short span ranging from two days to two months.

Confused about how this works?

The test works by detecting antibodies, highly specific proteins that the immune system has made in response to viruses, in your body.

Source

How much does it cost?

And if you think that this test will cost you a bomb, you’re wrong! Finding out about all the viruses your body has been exposed to will only leave you short of $25 in your account.

Source

This professor of genetics currently working at Harvard Medical School believes that VirScandeserves to be a part of a large scale organization so as to produce better results for people wanting to know about the history of viruses their bodies have faced so far.

What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger!

Kanye West is known for making bizarre headlines and just like his music, he never fails to disappoint his fans when it comes to being in the limelight too. Kanye, as spoken by him in an interview, thinks of himself as “Shakespeare in the flesh” and likes to be associated with likes of “God” but the Internet begs to differ. If you type www.loser.com in the address bar of your browser window, it’ll automatically redirect you to Kanye West’s Wikipedia page. Don’t believe us? Try it yourself.

10 dumb things that happen in India that have no clear explanation!

It is very easy for a person to stereotype & judge others and let’s admit it; people take guilty pleasures out of doing it! Here are a few dumb things happen in India that don’t really make much sense. Take a look.

1. You skin colour defines your personality.

Indians are big on skin (maybe we should just write colour in place of lightening products) lightening products. Some judge others for having darker skin and some are just judged in return. Ask yourself if it really matters? Does skin color change a person’s personality, confidence or their ability to look appealing? What a load of cr*p!

source

2. The right age to get married!

If you’re a girl 25 is the upper limit to find a suitable husband (observed most commonly) and if you’re a guy, well you have about 5 years more! How about being 35 and still single irrespective of the gender? If you have it in you, believe us – you CAN find a suitable partner no matter how old or young you are!

Source

3. You deserve to be in prison if you’re gay while rapists walk around openly!

Well a law is a law. Whether it makes sense or not, there’s nothing much you can do about it till the entire nation stands together. But wait! How about doing something about the uneducated morons wandering out there harassing women on the streets? And if they do get caught, what next?

Source

4. You’re not supposed to talk to a stranger, but hey! You can marry one!

Most of the conservative families do not support love marriages and yet they find suitable life partners for their kids just by knowing about their family and professional career. Bravo! Yes, the family and the career DO (not) define the person’s outlook towards life.

Source

5. No non-veg on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays!

Bingeing on different non-vegetarian cuisines all through the week and suddenly feeling religious on a Tuesday? Why? Are the Gods not really bothered about the other days of the week? Why do it at all? OR better yet, turn into a vegetarian!

6. You can get married at 21 but will have to wait 4 years to officially have the first drink with your spouse!

Again, we are not here to talk about the laws but it’s kinda funny!

Source

7. Everything is plastic covered except your vitals (when required).

How often have you seen an uncle driving on the road in a not-so-new car with plastic covered seats? Yes, it does annoy the sh*t out of us but then like they say – to each his own! The major problem here is that condoms are a big taboo (or so people think) and they’re not ashamed of covering anything else for protection!

Source

8. When superstition surpasses technology!

Nimbu mirchi on cars anyone? Black cat crossing the road? Not buying an electronic item on a Saturday? We wonder what’s going to happen if you don’t do it!

Source

9. You can piss in public but you can’t kiss in public!

Admit it; there isn’t a single man in India who hasn’t taken a leak on the roadside. And while that seems pretty normal, spotting a couple kissing on the road makes the sh*t get real for the bystanders and how!

Source

10. You don’t deserve a life if you didn’t study Science in 11^th and 12^th

Every Indian parent’s dream – putting their kids into an engineering college or a medical one! Why are other professions looked down upon? Why can’t a kid happily choose another area of interest and have a satisfactory life with happier parents?

Your world’s really tough if you’re a two-drink wonder. Here’s why!

We live in a world where bragging about how much you can drink is considered to be cool but is it always like that? What about our other cool friends who sadly can’t always match up to your drinking capacity or get even remotely close to it? Well, they aren’t always a party pooper! They are the ones who are constantly nagged by the ‘oh so cool’ alcohol tankers. For all the two-drink wonders out there, we are sure you’ve faced these seven situations in your life and we feel you!

1) They begrudge how little you gotta spend

When you go for alco-shopping with your buddies (read drinking enthusiasts) and you see the gaze of jealousy in their eyes because you have to shell out almost less than half of what they spend. Buuuurrnnn!

Source

2) Two drinks and you’re happy but but BUT they are faaarrr from it

Half way down your first drink, you get into a ridiculously good mood and you laugh at almost everything while your friends around stare at you and make fun of you. But hey! Who cares?

Source

3) Emotions overloaded

That moment when all your friends are just about to pick up their pace at drinking but you’re already so wasted that you have so much to talk about, it drives them crazy and they don’t want you to talk anymore.

Source

4) The curse to drink all night

Bro, that ‘happy’ place that you plan to reach at 2 am; I was there at about an hour ago! Now let me enjoy that buzz and don’t kill my vibe… Thank you very much!

Source

5) The dancing machine

You’ve had a little more than your 2… three drinks… It’s gonna be an epic night! The shoes have come off and you’re ready to shake it. Then you realize that your really, really slow friends are watching you like doting parents of a 2-year old about to give his first dance performance ever. Grooaaannn!

Source

6) You pass out & that’s when the action begins

You hit your happy place at 9 pm, really happy at 10 and by 12 you spent all your alcohol-fuelled energy! But your really annoying bum chums somehow have their best fights or most awesome admissions of love only 5 hours after you passed the h*ll out! That feeling of always missing out on the good stuff… you know what that feels like!

Source

7) Hunger attack

At a certain point during your fun-filled evening, everything in the entire world magically melts away and is reduced to just food. And you have to bare the crappy abuses from your friends for finishing up the snacks!
