Remove him from Commentary - twitterati for Sunil Gavaskar

Dragging a player's wife while criticising him was definitely not the right choice for Sunil Gavaskar. The former cricketer-turned-commentator took a dig at Virat Kohli and said that he only trained against Anushka's balls during the lockdown.

"Inhone lockdown me to bas Anushka ki gendon ki practice ki hai," said Sunil Gavaskar after Virat Kohli failed to deliver with the bat during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab. 

"इन्होने लॉक डाउन में तो बस अनुष्का की गेंदों की प्रैक्टिस की है"

Sunil Gavaskar came up with a surprising comment for the India captain. And while he didn't really mean any disrespect for the RCB captain and his wife - Anushka Sharma, one can say that his comment was perhaps uncalled for and highly personal.

Hazrat e Nooh ka Waqaya - Md Rafi

 Noah, is recognized in Islam as a prophet and apostle of God. He is one of the Ulu'l azm prophets. Noah's mission was to warn his people, who were plunged in depravity and sin. God charged Noah with the duty of preaching to his people, advising them to abandon idolatry and to worship only God and to live good and pure lives. Although he preached the Message of God with zeal, his people refused to mend their ways, leading to building the Ark and the Deluge, the Great Flood.



In Islamic tradition, it is disputed whether the Great Flood was a global or a local one. Noah's preaching and prophet-hood spanned 950 years according to the Quran.

Noah's mission had a double character: he had to warn his people, asking them to call for repentance and, at the same time, he had to preach about God's mercy and forgiveness, promising them the glad tidings God would provide if they led righteous lives. References to Noah are scattered throughout the Qur'an, and there is even an entire sura carrying his name, Nūḥ.

CDC Acknowledges Coronavirus can Spread through the Air

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s page still says Covid-19 most commonly spreads between people who are in close contact with one another, and now says the virus is known to spread "through respiratory droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols, produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks or breathes."

These particles can cause infection when "inhaled into the nose, mouth, airways, and lungs," it says. "This is thought to be the main way the virus spreads."

"There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes)," the page now says. "In general, indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk."

The CDC also added new measures to its information about protecting yourself and others.

The Youth Need to Shut Their Phones and Ask About the Economy

While this may be far lower priority item for Indians busy solving Bollywood conspiracies, it is worth noting that the Indian economy is in big trouble. The GDP shrunk by 23.9% last quarter, a level not completely unexpected but terrible and unprecedented nonetheless. It doesn't matter if it is coronavirus, God, government policies or a combination of all of these factors that caused it. It's like a spilt bowl of milk in the kitchen. We can argue all day whether someone kicked it, it fell on its own or the cat spilt it. The point is, there is no more...

San Francisco is Mystically Orange

San Francisco has turned orange. Residents of the city woke to find the sky still dark and glowing a deep brooding orange as smoke from near-by wildfires blocked the sun. Smoke particles "only allow yellow-orange-red light to reach the surface, causing skies to look orange", the Bay Area Air Quality Management District explained. Some 14,000 firefighters are battling 28 major blazes across California, amid a historic heatwave. Wildfires have burned more than 2.5 million acres in the state this year, killing at least eight people. Tap the link in our bio for more on the fires.


Looks like scenes from Blade Runner.

Amazon is filled with fake reviews and it's getting harder to spot them

Thousands of fake reviews have flooded Amazon, Walmart, eBay and others, as sales have skyrocketed.

Being "reviews" the one big metric customers have relied on to determine the quality and authenticity of a product. Amazon's listings often have a lot more of reviews, instead of the handful found on competing marketplaces.

In July, 2020 UCLA and USC released a study that found more than 20 fake review related Facebook groups with an average of 16,000 members. In more than 560 postings each day, sellers offered a refund or payment for a positive review.
