Bitcoin is making a lot of people roll in dough and some of them are even making history. Here’s referring to the likes of sly Winklevoss twins who made is REALLY big!   When you talk about Bitcoin, one name you will hear is Satoshi Nakamoto.  Who is Satoshi Nakamoto ?

Their name first came into light when they embarked on a legal battle with Mark Zuckerberg citing the theft of Facebook’s idea from them. They now again are hogging the limelight for becoming the first Bitcoin billionaires and the credit goes to the cryptocurrency shooting through a consistent high valuation US $11,400 for each bitcoin. Below are the few things that you need to know about the Winklevoss duo:

The two brothers are called Winklevoss brother whose names are Cameron and Tyler respectively. They were born on Aug 21, 1981 and flourished as internet entrepreneurs. They attended Harvard between  2000-2004.

They were born on Southampton, New York and raised in Greenwich, Connecticut and attended the Greenwich Country Day School and Brunswick School in the aftermath. They were known to be fond of Latin and Ancient Greek in school. In Harvard University, they majored in Economics where they graduated in the year 2004. They rowed in the Blue Boat in the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race which earned them the Oxford Blue.

They claim to have coined the idea of Facebook before Mark Zuckerberg and even sued Zuckerberg lately saying he the latter stole the idea from them.

The social networking site that they were meaning to launched would have been called ‘Harvard Connect’

The two won eventually won the lawsuit and won a $65 million payout from Facebook’s end from which they used $11 million in 2013 to buy a huge cache of Bitcoin.

It was a pretty risky bet that they bought around 100,000 Bitcoins which is approximately one percent of the entire World’s finite supply when Bitcoin was at its nascent. Back then, each coin was worth $120.

The excelled in Rowing, the brothers. They championed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics on behalf of the US.

With Bitcoin’s value surging up to an overwhelming $11,395 last week, their name came in the spotlight as the first High profile Bitcoin Billionaires of the World. There is, however another person who keeps his visual identity veiled and introduced himself as Satoshi Nakamoto owns a Bitcoin wallet with that amount. Satoshi also apparently is the creator of cryptocurrency.

So far, the twins have never sold any part of their Bitcoin hoard. They have taken this step to launch an exchange traded fund in New York.

The two have reportedly bought the seats on the first flight of Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic Shuttle using their Bitcoin profits in March 2014. The brothers are now worth more than 1 billion dollars after capitalizing on the surprising rise in Bitcoin.

There is everything you needed to know about the billionaire twins in the above.

Mughals, alternatively spelled as Mogul, is the Turkic-Mongol origin Muslim dynasty that ruled swathes of northern India from the early 16^th to mid-18^th century. It ruled over North India successfully for more than two centuries and its rulers proved their mettle with the administrative acumen. Mughals attempted to integrate Hindus and Muslims into a United Indian State.

How was Mughal dynasty founded?

The Mughal dynasty was founded by the Turkic prince named Babur who reigned from 1526-30. Babur was the descendant of Turkic conqueror Timur or Tamarlane on his father’s side and second son of the Mongol ruler Gengis Khan, on his mother’s side.

Muslims in India:

Muslims were there in India long before the Mughals. Muslims set foot in India for the first time in 8^th century. In the first half of 10^th century, a Muslim ruler of Afghanistan invaded Punjab 11 times but secured no significant political success. However, they plundered India with all their might. Followed by this, a more successful invasion came at the end of the 12^th century which eventually led to the formation of Delhi Sultanate. A later invasion, which took place in 1398, devastated the city of Delhi. The descendants of the Mongol empire established the Mughal empire in India. Previously, they were living in Turkestan who assimilated the culture of Middle East coupled with the elements of their far-eastern roots while ruling India. Mughals have inherited their great military skills from their Mongol ancestors and were the first Western Military leaders to use guns.

What are reasons of Babus looking to establish his territory in India?

Babur was ousted from Central Asia from his ancestral domain and looked east to conquer India to satisfy his wrath. Babur was unsuccessful to annex Samarkhand and after such three unsuccessful attempts, had lost all his hopes that he will ever be able to fulfil his wish. In 1526, he successfully gained control over the Punjab region by routing the forces of the Delhi Sultan Ibrahim Lodi at the first battle of Panipat. There is one more reason why Babur could not ignore India because it was replete with wealth. Also, the dysfunctional political system in India made a leeway for Babur to legitimise his claim with the support of local rulers.

After the year 1505, to meet the expectation of the followers expecting rewards after he became the ruler, he levied heavy taxes on people. It attracted revolts but Babur again made an attempt to overtake Samarkhand, this time successfully but a brief period from later 1512 to 1513.

The Mughal empire fell in shambles because Humayun was disastrous as a ruler . He, however, channelled his love for poetry and culture into his son Akbar which helped to make the Mughal empire rise in artistic power.

Paris, a muse of Hemingway and Balzac, and a blissful oasis of impressionist paintings and love songs, breathes life into every traveler as he takes stride in the cobblestoned streets Saint-Germain and feasts the eyes on Backlit silhouette of Notre-Dame which transcends cliché.

In Victorian era, Paris looked like a dreamscape abundant with wealth and opulence. Those with enormous wealth, would shamelessly expose their possessions to each other, and to the unwashed masses, in the Bois de Boulogne parade between 2:00 and 4:00 pm.

Below is an old footage of Victorian Paris that was taken between 1896 to 1900. If you notice with a fine-tooth comb, you will see:

0:08 – Notre-Dame Cathedral in the year 1896

0:58 – Alma Bridge in the year 1900

1:37 – Avenue des Champs-Élysées in the year 1899

2:33 – Place de la Concorde in the year 1897

3:24 – Passing of a fire brigade in the year 1897

3:58 – Tuileries Garden in the year 1896

4:48 – Moving walkway at the Paris Exposition in the year 1900

5:24 – The Eiffel Tower from the Rives de la Seine à Paris in the year 1897

You will marvel at the dignified behavior and the the manner of dressing of the inhabitants. This footage shows the most high-brow and culturally stung places of the city.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame:

This cathedral’s architecture draws cues from the French Gothic architecture. The iconic façade and rose windows are the magnet to massive crowds.

Alma Bridge:

This is a road bridge in Paris which is located across the Seline. The bridge was named to commmorate the Battle of Alma during the Crimean war and was inaugurated by Napoleon III.

Avenue des Champs-Élysées:

This 1.9 km long and 70 metres wide bridge runs between Place De La Concorde and the Place Charles De Gaulle, where the Arc de Triomphe is located. You will find a series of theatres, cafes and luxury shops around this place. The annual Bastille Day Military parade also takes place here.

Tuileries Garden:

This is a public garden located between the Louvre and the Place De La Concorde. The beautiful park was open to the public in 1667 and people thronged there massively after the French revolution.

Moving walkway at the Paris Exposition:

The Moving Walkway is also known as an autowalk. There is a slow moving conveyor mechanism at play behind this which transports people across a horizontal or inclined plane in a short to medium distance. These walkways can be availed by simply standing on them.

The Eiffel Tower:

There is no one that doesn’t know about Eiffel Tower of Paris. In fact, this is the main public attraction of this city. The wrought-iron lattice tower is located on the Champ De Mars and was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel. The bridge was constructed from 1887 to 1889 and went on to become a global cultural icon.

In the video, you will notice how different the city looked from now and how it evolved over the time. We must say that no other city can match the standard of Paris in terms of its architecture.

Make-up is hands down the best thing that a woman can wear. It not only makes you feel confident but brings out your best. We keep scouring the internet for best make-up hacks and tutorials but we are in a tizzy when the brushstrokes go wrong. Sometimes, while staring covetously at the celebrity pictures, we wonder how can they appear such flawlessly decked up. Of course, no prizes for guessing that there are celebrity make-up artists behind who make sure of the killer outcome. However, it is really annoying when we try to imitate them and end up sad because our strokes are not as masterly. If you are a make-up enthusiast, we are sure that you too have faced these annoying problems:

Your mascara clumps:

We never get our mascara right in the first application. We are not supposed to blink when add that extra drama to our lashes but it every time splashes in the lower eyelid.

Lipstick bleeds:

We have been many a times told by the make-up experts to apply a lip balm before lipstick. Whenever we give the lip balm a ditch, lipstick starts bleeding making us looking like a character from The Vampire Diaries.

Hairs fall out from the make-up brushes:

Just when we feel that we are done, the one or two strands of hairs the make-up brushes leave on our faces after caressing it pop up in sight. We try fanning them off hurriedly but to no avail.

Chipped nails:

We are flushed with enthusiasm every time we scroll through the chic nail arts in our Instagram feed and swear down to grow our nails bigger this time. Sadly, we end up having chipped nails every time.

We feel icky when we wake up with make-up:

The last night’s residue always give you the icky feeling when you wake up. No matter how much effort you have put to remove your make-up, the stubborn particles still remain only make you feel itchy the next day as you wake up.

Your Favourite make-up goes out of stock:

You have saved your favourite Becca shimmer particles in the cart because you were broke last month. As soon as you receive your salary and attempt a buy, you end up heartbroken because it has gone out of stock.

Your eyeliner is never on point:

You try to wing it but never manage to draw the similar lines in both eyes. Worse, the eyeliner hacks that you pick up from YouTube go wrong too when you have hurry.

So make-up virgins, get your head around these annoying problems before you attempt it.

The automobile industry flushes us with anticipation that something new is scheduled to be introduced. It has been driving innovation and catered to us some iconic cars. In the period of 125 years, while the automobile industry has been around, we were introduced to some simply wild, wacky or weird vehicles too. Innovation taken a bit too far? Well, some of those technologies continue to live-on even today. Here are some weird cars that we still gawp at:

World’s largest SUV:

It symbolises a 10 wheeler truck, usually deployed by the US Army, belongs from the Jeep Wrangler category. The car is powered by 15.2 litre Caterpillar Diesel engine with 600 horse power. It brings its headlights from a Ford F-series super duty and rear lights from a Dodge Dart. This car is owned by Sheikh Hamad bin Hamadan Al Nahyan who is not an ordinary billionaire.

The Giant Land Rover Series III:

The Emirates National Auto Museum, which is about an hour from Abu Dhabi, houses an enormous life-like replica of Land Rover Series III which makes a Nissan Patrol appear like a grasshopper.

Mercedes-Benz W116 monster truck:

The car is a brainchild of Rainbow Sheikh, Hamad Bin Hamadan Al Nahyan, who translates his wildest dreams into reality because he has a lot of fortune at his disposal. He, decidedly turned a Mercedez Benz W116 into a monster truck which is parked in front of the museum but sadly, have never turned a wheel.

Mercedes-Benz R107 SL:

It seems like Rainbow Sheikh has a fascination for rainbows which earned him the nickname. Many of the cars in his collection consequently come with rainbow accents. Every part of this car in question has is gold-plated and the flag-ports hint that it was driven in parades and other special events.

Datsun 280ZX:

If you visit Rainbow Sheikh’s museum, you will find several Japanese Sports Cars in there. There, you will locate this Datsun 280ZX which is one of the last examples built while the leather upholstery suggests that it’s a high-spec model. It was imported from the US and drawing attention of the visitors ever since.

Endurance:

The two-seater vehicle was built in Japan back in the year 1998. There are no additional information that has been found out about this car. The Emirates Museum also steers clear of divulging any information about the cars in its collection.

Ford Crown Victoria:

In 2019, bigger numbers of Ford Crown Victoria registered in the Gulf countries than in New York City. The Sheikh’s collection boasts of two of the nicest ones around. In this picture, you can see a car which appears like a taxi from the Los Angeles area.

Pontiac Firebird Trans Am:

This is one of the notable second generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am muscle cars that is available in the museum. The car comes equipped with T-tops and it was shipped from the US in a like-new condition.

The Rainbow Sheikh’s compulsion for cars is really laudable. These are quite our idea of dream cars.

We all have a common fear, to be wrong. The fear is embedded in the darkest part of your psyche which can be banished by wisdom and forgiveness. Our struggle with self-esteem never seems to end because we want to become someone else and end up wasted. However, we all have our different reasons to going low on self-esteem and here are they:

Aries (March 21-April 19):

You have contradictory ideas swarming in your head. You are easily affected by people’s opinion and you are unhappy most of the times because you are way too judgemental as a person.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

You are afraid of change. Change is inevitable. You will need to be adaptive to change to deal with your fear.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

You are caught in the web of self-doubt and not sure about the path you are walking in life. You are never sure of anything which lowers your self-esteem.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

You take relationships way too seriously and build your life around it. There is more to your life than pleasing people so don’t forget to live your own life. If someone is not making your life better, chuck them!

Leo (July 23-August 22):

You are a sucker for material possession which drives you mad sometimes. Of course it holds an important part in your life but try to lessen some pressure off your brain.

Virgo (August 23-September 22):

You tend to overthink which is ruinous to your self-esteem. Instead of overthinking on your problems, you need to seek solutions. You should not worry about what others think about you, stop weaving imaginary stories in your head.

Libra (September 23-October 22):

You, like a Virgo, is a hyperthinker. May be you should snap ties with your past and learn to move on. You deserve better.

Scorpio (October 23- November 21):

You vie for attention a lot and hate being seen through. If the person you adore doesn’t give you attention, don’t feel heartbroken to this extent. The world has more to offer and of course you are worth so much more.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21):

You always choose wrong people. You are too kind to let people stay in your life even though they don’t deserve you. They must acknowledge that you are amazing and if they don’t, cut cords with them.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19):

You should learn to set smaller goals. You always set a high standard for you and not being able to accomplish them make you freak out. Also, you are not here to fulfill everyone else’s expectations but your own.

Aquarius (January 10-February 18):

You go overdramatic sometimes with your reactions. You feel that the world has come to an end whenever something bad happens with you. You should learn to relax and not worry so much.

Pisces (February 19-March 20):

Live your life just as it is and don’t live in a bubble. You should not define your self-worth by the number of friends you have but you should befriend yourself.

Thumb Rule: don’t let self-doubt wash over you. Do whatever you are meant to do.

Men, since time immemorial, find shopping boring. Unlike us women, who shudder with enthusiasm when someone asks us to tag along on their shopping spree, men will definitely give that dramatic eye roll to the proposal. They would, instead, spread on the couch and watch gibberish on the TV, well godspeed them! Even worse, your man will keep hurrying you up while you are just halfway though your shopping. So, It is always better to take your bestie aboard on your shopping ventures. Someone has rightly said, sisters before misters, phew!

One more reason, as we have figured out,  why men hate shopping is that they don’t want to part with their money. Shopping is a hazardous undertaking for them because it digs a hole in their pocket. Hilariously though, your man will check the price tag of every dress you pick and frown upon the ones whose prices are on the higher side in full public view. How awkward is that! Well we are not holding every man guilty of making us feel awkward while shopping, there are some men who readily agree to accompany their women to shopping.

Once, NPR had reported that factors like speed and convenience pay a major role in men’s decision. They won’t scale highways and byways to shop but do it at the comfort of their homes. Hence, studies have proved that when it comes to online shopping, men tend to have deeper pockets than women. The Bureau of Labor Statistics have debunked the theory that men hate shopping as they have found out Men make sizeable impulse purchases as compared to women. They, in fact shop at full price retailers rather than bargain hunts to save energy, erm! Research has further shown that men readily pay significantly more than women during sales events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday  where they specially buy expensive gadgets and appliances.

According t a 2016 Business Insider survey, 40 percent of men between the ages of 18 and 34 would buy anything online in an ideal scenario, beating women of the same age range. Only 34 percent of women, in that matter , will indulge in impulsive buying as that. Studies have also proved that there is a difference in the behaviour among men and women when they shop in brick-and-mortar stores. In there, you will see a man shopping with more urgency. According to a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour, “This behaviour helps men maintain their traditional masculine identity”.

We admonish men for hating shopping because they are impatient. You will notice that a man’s interest drops in only 25-30 minutes while they are out for shopping. Cmparatively, a woman’s interest lasts up to a good two or three hours. What’s really annoying is that they make weird faces while accompanying you to your shopping trips but are never fatigued when shopping online!

When you have just passed out from the college, you have probably set your mind to some enormous goals. It is a really topsy-turvy road that leads you to success and we all have visions of dollar signs jiggling in our minds while taking strides up there. We believe that you have managed to secure your niche by impressing your seniors but are you planning for the next yet?

According to career expert Elizabeth Whittaker-Walker, one needs to set career milestones and personal growth is important no matter your age. One needs to keep pushing the envelop regardless of what juncture they are at in their professional runway. When you set milestones, they will show you the path towards your goals. Elizabeth Whittaker-Walker explains, “Milestones help you to remember times you stayed on path, moments you strayed, and the impact of each route. They help you remember the lessons you learned on your career journey and those memories will then inspire you to do the things that work and keep you from repeating mistakes.”

If you are having trouble strategizing your efforts, you can take cues from the wisdom shared by the leading career experts. They have shared their take on the milestones you should be targeting in every decade corresponding to your career type. Career paths are different from each other but career experts have laid down a general guideline for the success seekers. Look below to know:

Age 25: You should Learn and Build:

According to Whittaker-Walker, “At 25, you should be securing the education, skills, and early training you need to reach your career goals,” She asks the professionals to cover their basic expenses and save some for the future goals. You should, in this period, focus on building connections that will yield bigger results in the future.

Age 35: Improving and working double-time:

When you are ringing in your 35 year birthday, your life has taken a quantum jump both professionally and personally. According to Whittaker-Walker, “Your professional network should span beyond your state and you should aim to be on at least one board,” she further says, “You should also focus on building new skills and refining the ones you’ve come to be known for. You’ve likely experienced job transitions and promotions, and you should now be positioning yourself for senior leadership,” In short, you will need to speak regularly with the mentors from your early years for inspiration and keep inspiring others.

Age 45: You are an expert:

After those sleepless nights of strategizing, you are now a skilled market player. People are coming to you for advice, absorb your wisdom and put your thoughts into practice for greater success. You have now successfully grown a vast professional network and at this stage, Whittaker-Walker explains that your professional circle of trust is tested and intimate and there should be a giving and receiving within your network.

These benchmarks you should idealise but a consultation with experts is a requisite should you ever have a doubt.

We always feel like we are trapped somewhere we are not meant to be. Sometimes our happy chemicals don’t flow and everything seems so gloomy. We feel like we haven’t achieved anything and there is still way to go. You are not alone, most of us feel stuck in the rut. It is very human to strive to soar above the mediocrity.

Scientists are breaking a new ground everyday with their inventions. We are left wide eyed every time they cater to us a new discovery that minimises human efforts and makes our lives easier. We presume that you are not alien to the concept of Gravitational Waves. The LIGO scientists based in the United States have detected Gravitational Waves in space that could help the scientists develop a time machine and travel to the darkest and earliest parts of the Universe. This discovery was a huge achievement for the team of scientists that earned them humongous public attention and acclaims.

However, only a year ahead scientists have devised a revolutionary method to upload knowledge in your brain. We know, those people that are sucker for knowledge are rubbing palms! It sounds like we are talking about a sci-fi movie but scientists can make this possible in real!

Amazingly, it will be as much easier as changing clothes or falling asleep. Researchers from HRL Labaratories, based in California, claimed to have found out a way to optimise learning but in a much smaller scale than the larger-than-life Hollywood movies. The study was published in the Journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience whose results revealed that knowledge can be fed directly to your brain, just like the sci-Fi classic The Matrix. The group of researchers said that they have successfully developed a simulator which can upload information directly into a person’s brain and teach them new skills in a shorter span of time. The scientists, rightfully, compared it to the ‘life imitating art’.

Scientists believe that it could be the first baby step in developing advanced software through which Matrix-style learning could be possible in reality. Protagonist Neo, in the Neo-noir Sci-Fi classic was able to learn Kung Fu in seconds after the martial art was ‘directly’ uploaded into his brain.

According to the report published in the journal, subjects that received brain stimulation via electrode-embedded head caps noticed a improvement in their piloting abilities and learned the task 33% better than a placebo group.

Surprisingly, scientists claim that the method had its roots in ancient Egyptian period (approximately 4000 years ago) where they used electric fish to stimulate and reduce pain. The researchers have studied the electric signals in the brain of a trained pilot and infused the data there after into novice subjects as they learned to pilot an aeroplane in a realistic flight simulator.

According to Dr. Matthew Phillips, “Our system is one of the first of its kind. It’s a brain stimulation system,”

Scientists have really done a remarkable job to improve the learning procedure.

Indian film producers have no dearth of fortune and they have no qualms in exhausting their money for the success of the films.

Move over Marc Zuckerberg and make way for Kylie Jenner, the youngest self-made billionaire of the world currently. All of 21, Kylie has been named the youngest-ever self-made billionaire by Forbes magazine. That is quite an achievement.

Kylie Jenner is the sole owner of a fortune of worth $900 million as estimated by the magazine. She has achieved this monumental success by using Instagram! Believe it or not, each of Kylie’s Instagram posts is worth about $1 million, according to Hopper HQ, and she has 128 mn followers in total in her account.

Kylie, like many women of our age, was always active on social media and she devised a method to productively use her social media account to boost her business. Result? She has built a billion dollar fortune by age 21.

Jenner is the youngest person to become a billionaire with her own company Kylie Cosmetics and she has several other fellow billionaires to thank for her success.

According to Conor Begley, co-founder of Brand Marketing Company Tribe Dynamics, ““The business would not exist at its current size without social media,”

There are many other billionaires in the world who are younger than 45. People like Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom, Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey are deemed to be the youngest billionaires in the world.

Jenner’s posts in Instagram include family photos and mirror selfies along with new product announcements or promotions for Blush, Lip Gloss and Eye Shadow.

Conor Begley, co-founder of Brand Marketing Company Tribe Dynamics further added, “ She is a unique case in that she has a massive, massive audience” , “that can be replicated for sure”, he added. He said this considering her sizeable fan base in both Twitter and Snapchat.

The other beauty moguls who became young billionaires include names like Rihanna (68.3 million Instagram followers),whose Fenty Beauty has joined hands with luxury-goods powerhouse LVMH. Then there is Huda Kattan (33.6 million followers), who gave up a finance job to excel as a make-up artist. She went on to start her own make-up brand Huda Beauty with her sisters in 2013 after her make-up blog becoming popular. The annual revenue of the company is now $200 million dollar.

Kylie told Forbes that this announcement is a “Nice pat on the back” . Kylie always had her mom, Kris Jenner by her side who helped her build the business. However, the self-made tag given by Forbes is being called into question by the detractors because the Kylie-Kadarshian family was already rich and famous.

Forbes has cleared the air saying that Kylie hasn’t inherited any business or money so the self-made tag is justified.

While combing through my social media newsfeed, a news popped up in my sight, Pakistani nationals figning petition proposing Nobel Peace Prize for their PM Imran Khan. I was flabbergasted! Later, the news became the butt of all jokes because their plea was far from being realistic in view of Pakistan becoming the terrorist safe haven. Meanwhile, amid the tension between India and Pakistan regarding Pulwama, we have extended mental assault to the Indian Muslims through our public posts knowingly or unknowingly. Many a times, I have seen my Muslim friends remain tigh-lipped over the issue and seeking escape routes when the discussions were on a roll. May be they are in a state of disquietude. We should admit, when we talk about Pakistan, we think about Indian muslims in our subconscious.

After the soaring tension between Pakistan and India, the governments are reflecting upon their terms of engagement in the changed scenario. In this situation, India is evading its pride of being a country of brotherhood by secluding the Muslims and calling them names.

The baggage of historical misconducts continue to hound:

“Go to Pakistan” or “You are a Pakistani”, these are the jibes that are doing rounds to perpetuate the age-old perceived enmity with the Indian Muslims. The further abuses like “Babur ki aulad”, the reminder of the past atrocities by ‘invaders’, that are hurled at the Indian Muslims in the wake of this situation, are below the belt and toxic in the same vein. There is a clear demarcation in the social system to be seen now, the ‘self’ and the ‘other’. The Indian Muslims have to shed at least two imposed layers of ‘Otherness’ to appear Indian.

The non-Muslim right wing discourse perennially forgets that the majority of Deobandi Ulema has opposed partition while Maulana Shabbir Ahmad Usmani chose to stand apart with his ideologies.

In a horrific act, a Kashmiri vendor in Lucknow was beaten to half-death which attracted a wave of protest in social media. What’s even more sad that the videos went viral. It was really gut-wrenching to look at the video where the man was screaming for his life. What happened to him was illegal and immoral but can people continue to do this with impunity? This is the question that looms over the horizon. In argument, the Indian Muslims, after the occurrence of partition, had to pay a hefty price of Pakistan’s existence. This is, presumably is the fallout of colonial ‘divide’ and ‘rule’ policy and the British have exploited the faultlines because communalism in this subcontinent beget communalism.

Recently, The Editor-in-chief of Vogue Anna Wintour has shared a comprehensive guide of dressing up for an interview. During her stint as an Editor in Vogue, she has accumulated wisdom on dressing and critically hair-splits over dress codes. Anna Wintour things a collective body of professional mostly go wrong in suiting up during job interviews.

Anna Wintour is the fashion queen bee for sure. She thinks that most people end up wearing something that doesn’t suit them. She has also claimed that people who dress to impress her, rather than impressing themselves, often miss the mark.

Anna Wintour was quoted as saying, “I’ll always remember a young man who came in in a dress and a handbag, and I gave him the job on the spot. You have to dress for yourself. It’s the same for any job you might be going for. I think it doesn’t do yourself a service to fake it.’

Anna revealed in the latest episode of Vogue’s “Go Ask Anna” video series that she could have an inkling when someone showed up for an interview wearing something with the tags still on them. It was easy to figure out for her that they might have bought those clothes that morning or may be the night before. Even worse, sometimes they end up wearing something that don’t accentuate their personality but do the reverse.

Anna Wintour wholeheartedly praises ‘Leggings’ as a very wise pick. It makes a perfect day-to-day wear, especially the black ones. Anna, to our greatest respite, said that the acceptance of your personal style is going high. You can feel more relaxed and confident in something that gives you optimal comfort. But of course, dress codes vary by industry. You will stick out like a sore thumb if you’re in a three-piece-suit and turn up in a tech start-up full of aspirants wearing jeans and hoodies. Similarly, if you wearing vibrant prints and gold sneakers, you will partly impress the team of Vogue into hiring you as it won’t work for a Senior Management position.

The expert tip to never go wrong in a Job Interview, take cue from pictures posted on its site or its workers’ social media profiles to figure out the dressing pattern. You can also get a sense of the company culture. Also, you can ask anyone in your network about what not to wear in the company.

Definitely, fields like law and finance are conservative when it comes to their dress code. You won’t enjoy a leeway to dress comfortably. Your clothes are the main tool to communicate with the world so dress smart. It is your outfit that should do a little bit of talking in a job interview.

The Brahmastra team took off the beaten road to release their film’s logo. They have left the onlookers awestruck by a commendable demonstration of the film’s official logo at kumbhmela in Prayagraj sky. We are having a wave of emotions seeing this out of the world showcasing of a promo-logo. Interestingly, neither did the logo-promo feature Alia Bhatt nor Ranbir Kapoor. They have, instead, chose to leave the audience guessing by just releasing the logo-promo which is also available online now. Alia Bhatt will be essaying the role of Isha while Ranbir Kapoor will bring the character of Shiva to life onscreen, as revealed by the makers.

Further, the film’s director Ayan Mukherjee has joined Instagram and shared an animated glimpse of the movie. In the poster, Ranbir and Alia’s anime characters were seen hugging each other amidst a halo of light for a backdrop.

Presumably, Brahmastra is going to be a sci-fi movie and hence it has been a talking point for quite sometime. Here are some some information about the upcoming film Brahmastra that we know so far:

The cast:

Brahmastra is being directed by Ayan Mukherjee and the cast has Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in lead roles. The film is also stars Amitabh Bachhan, Dimple Kapadia, Mouni Roy,Southern actor Akkineni Nagarjuna and Divyendu Sharma.

What is the anticipated release date of Brahmastra?

Brahmastra is set to release around Christmas this year.

What the film revolves around?

The film is likely to be made in three parts, a trilogy that is to say and Brahmastra will be the first installment. Going by the Hindu mythology, Brahmastra is a weapon of the Hindu god Brahma, who is revered for being the creator of the Universe. The weapon is touted to be lethal and the film’s director Ayan Mukherjee has explained that the film’s title refers to “Ancient wisdom, energies and power”.

While talking about Brahmastra last year, Ayan Mukherjee had revealed that It is a modern day film set in India as it exists today. However, Ayan revealed that he received a tidal wave of energy, wisdom and power that came from ancient India and inspired Ayan to decide the film’s title ‘Brahmastra’. He further said that there are a few phenomenal and unconventional costumes that are used in the film.

Ranbir said, ““It is actually a supernatural romantic fairy tale at heart. Ayan (film’s director Ayan Mukerji) will never make a character that doesn’t have truth to it, or which is unbelievable. It’s too early to talk about the film, but it is something I am terribly excited about,”

Who are the director and producer of the film Brahmastra?

Ayan Mukherjee is the director of the film whose debut movie was Wake Up Sid. The film was a massive hit and many other blockbuster hits are credited to him too. The film is helmed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

The film is still being shot and so far the team has visited the places like Bulgaria, Delhi and Mumbai for the shoot. We are really looking forward to the second sci-fi movie that will be ever made in Bollywood after the Krish trilogy. Here’s wishing all the best to the makers!
