Harsha Bhogle is one of the most favorite cricket commentators of the Indian cricket lovers and some of his fans also call him the voice of the Indian cricket. The commentator is celebrating his 59th birthday today (July 19) and not just the celebs but common public as well took to social media to send him greetings.
Ravichandran Ashwin, the Indian spinner, has been quite active on social media nowadays due to the lockdown which was imposed on account of the coronavirus pandemic. Ashwin also took to Twitter and wished Harsha Bhogle as he wrote, “Many more happy returns of the day @bhogleharsha, have a great day and beyond.”
Many more happy returns of the day @bhogleharsha , have a great day and beyond.

While it was a simple birthday wish, Harsha being a witty person not only thanked the Indian spinner but also asked him to focus on spinning the ball rather than starting his career in commentary as during the lockdown, Ashwin was busy on social media.
Harsha wrote, “Thank you Ashwin…. Watching so much of you during this lockdown….Keep spinning that ball and leave my job alone.”

Harsha started his career at the age of 19 at All India Radio and he is the first Indian commentator who got the invitation from Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Radio for the India-Australia series 1992. While he was with ABC during the 1992 World Cup, in the 1996 and the 1999 World Cup events, he was associated with BBC.
Amid the coronavirus outbreak, Ashwin has conducted many Q&A sessions, indulged in live Instagram chat sessions, etc. because of which Harsha took a jibe at him.
Ashwin was supposed to play for Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2020 which got postponed because of COVID-19. However, now it is being said that the league may take place in UAE in the months of September-October later this year.
The world is now in the unlocking mode despite the fact that the cases of coronavirus are still on the rise. The good thing for cricket lovers is that England and West Indies are playing a series of three test matches in which West Indies has already won the first test match at Agaes Bowl.
The second test match is being played at Old Trafford, England, in which the visitors decided to bowl first after winning the toss. While the Jason Holder led team was in no mood to give England any chance of scoring much, the hosts were also very determined to bounce back in the second test match. Though England lost early wickets, Ben Stokes (176) and Dom Sibley (120) brought the team in a strong position by hitting centuries. England declared their first innings for 469/9 and West Indies was at 32/1.
Ben Stokes is considered as one of the finest all-rounders of the present times and during his knock of 176, he played a shot which was no less than ridiculous but gave maximum runs. He played this shot in the 115th over of the innings and the bowler was Alzarri Joseph. A full-length delivery was bowled by the pacer which was lofted effortlessly over the long-on by Ben Stokes. The shot was played with ease but the timing was perfect which made it possible for the ball to clear the boundaries for a six. England cricket also shared the clip showing the shot and called it ridiculous.
The news channels have become an important part of our lives as they make us aware of what is happening in the world but their job is not as easy as it seems to be. People think that the news anchors only have to read the news while sitting in an air conditioned studio but the truth is that live reporting is quite tough as there are no retakes to correct their mistakes so they have to be very careful. There are times when things get very complicated and it is very difficult to deal with the situation; at such instances, only a smart news anchor is able to manage things in a proper manner.
Marichka Padalko, a news anchor who can be seen live on Ukrainian TV presenting news came across a weird situation but she handled it in quite a classy way. She was reading news as usual when her tooth dropped out of her mouth; however, it’s indeed creditable on her part that she didn’t react, caught the falling teeth very calmly as if nothing happened and continued doing her work.
Later she posted the video of the incident on her Instagram account and also wrote about the times when she faced bizarre situations earlier and also explained how her tooth broke.
She told that her little daughter hit her teeth with a metal clock while she was playing with it because of which her half-teeth broke down. She got it repaired but didn’t follow the advice of her dentist as she was biting the food from her front tooth while her dentist asked her not to do so.
She faced a weird situation in 2013 as well when she was doing live reporting and her hubby was arrested during a protest. She also said that she thought the incident would not be noticed by anyone but viewers are very attentive.
Well, it takes smartness and intelligence to quickly handle things and we must say that Marichka Padalko is quite smart!
Madhavan is undoubtedly one of the finest Indian actors that we have seen on the big screen and what makes him class apart is the fact that his popularity is not limited to a certain part of India and he is famous and loved in almost each part of the country. It’s quite sad that he has not worked much in Hindi movies and focused more in the south but still whatever Hindi movies he has done, they are quite amazing.
What brings Madhavan closer to the Indian audiences is his simple and sober yet attractive look with no six pack abs to flaunt but he takes a lot of care of his fitness. He took to acting in the year 1996 as he worked in TV serials, endorsements, etc. but his big break came when he was selected by famous director Mani Ratnam for his Tamil movie “Alaipayuthey” (2000) which was a big hit at the box-office.
Madhavan is also engaged in various social activities and he is pretty active on social media networks. Recently, he took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to congratulate those kids who scored good in the board exams and at one fell swoop, tried to cheer up those who had not get good marks by telling them they he himself got only 58 percent. In the tweet, Madhavan also posted an old photo of himself from one of his films.
Check out the image:
Here is the tweet:
जिनके भी board ke रिजल्ट्स आए हैं उन्हें मैं बताना चाहता हूँ —-जिनके अच्छे marks आए हैं उन सबको तहेदिल से mubarak हो.और बाक़ियों को ये बताना चाहता हूँ कि मुझे ५८% मिले थे। abhi तो picture शुरू भी नहीं हुई है..pic.twitter.com/br3ght3ePG

One online user took this opportunity to ask Madhavan the secret behind his glowing skin, “I really appreciate you being honest about your marks. Just using this opportunity to ask, since it’s quite visible from this old pic as well, what product or procedure you used to lighten your skin? Genuine interested in knowing the secret. Thank you.”
I really appreciate you being honest about your marks. Just using this opportunity to ask, since it's quite visible from this old pic as well, what product or procedure you used to lighten your skin ? Genuine interested in knowing the secret.
Thank you.
Well, Madhavan also responded to him and wrote, “I never believed in wanting to NOT be who I am- nor felt apologetic for looking the way I did. You shouldn’t either bro..Just look and be hygienic .. most attractive way to look ... I tan easily when I play golf-that is all there is to it .”

Recently, Madhavan also announced that there will be a sequel to “Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein”, the romantic movie which starred him and Dia Mirza.
What do you think of the secret shared by Madhavan, simply a golden piece of advice, isn’t it?
The USA President Donald Trump has the reputation of making statements which create controversies but this time he has created a controversy by indulging in promotions of Goya, a food brand.
The brand Goya was already trending on Twitter as many users wanted to boycott it in view of the fact that its CEO Robert Unanue praised the USA President Trump last week. Goya foods are liked by Latino Americans a lot and it is the biggest Hispanic owned company but the community feels that Donald Trump has a racist attitude towards them. Even a huge number of Americans feel that the government policies towards Hispanic community are discriminatory.
Donald Trump’s photo was posted on the social media handles in which he is seen smiling while sitting in his office with many Goya products displayed on his table.
Netizens have slammed both father and daughter for marketing a food brand and some also say that it is the violation of United States Office of Government Ethics as per which the executive branch employees should not use their government positions for the purpose of marketing or promoting any organization, service, person or product.
Here are some of the selected tweets:
#1
You’re kidding me, right? No ethics left in this White House on issues big or small.
You are pure racist trash with a fake job that has left you morally bankrupt enough to hold up a can of beans— that you didn’t buy yourself, and that you don’t know how to cook— just so you can pretend to support a community you prefer to keep in cages, all to make daddy happy.
Omg! Ivanka is using her official position paod by tax payers, whatever that is, to advertise a product. Is she getting paid for this by @GoyaFoods ? Will Trump's white nationalist base who wanted kids in cages and stolen from their parents actually buy the product?
here, I fixed it for you. One with your 'other daddy', one pre plastic, when you still looked human, and one showcasing your special edition "kids in cages" collectibles pic.twitter.com/bP3kpkUe9c

The Americans are also not very happy with the manner in which the Trump government handled the coronavirus pandemic as more than 138K Americans have lost their lives till now and over 3.53 million have been registered as COVID-19 positive patients. The condition is so bad in the USA that 70K COVID-19 patients have been recorded yesterday only.
It has been more than a month that Sushant Singh Rajput bid goodbye to this world but people are still talking about him. Recently, Bollywood actress Richa Chadha chose to share her opinion in a blog on various issues such as nepotism, star kids, trollers, operational style of Bollywood, etc. She also shared some beautiful memories of the “Kedarnath” actor with whom she used to go for workshops on his bike.
Richa writes about the ongoing outsiders vs insiders debate and says that she feels complete Bollywood is divided in two types of people – kind and unkind. Talking about the operational style of the industry, the “Fukrey” actress says that in the short period that she has spent in Bollywood, she has assessed that it works like a food chain, adding that who are feeling annoyed and angry today have also been very rude to their juniors at one point of time.
The “Masaan” actress writes that she has come in contact of many insiders who have been very courteous and kind and with many outsiders as well who have been egoistic and considered themselves to be very important. She also talks about nepotism and says that someone taking birth in a star’s family is the same as we take birth to our parents. She further adds that when we are not ashamed of our parents then why we expect the star kids to be ashamed of their parents, their struggles and their legacy. She calls it a senseless argument and asks whether her kids will also face such things if they try their hands in Bollywood despite the fact that she herself is a self-made person.
Richa also says that the star kids may be privileged but they also don’t have those experiences which the outsiders have. She recalls the old times when she used to go for theatre workshops with Sushant who used to pick her from her flat in Andheri West. She says that she was thankful towards Sushant for giving her a ride and at one fell swoop, she has also cleared the fact that neither she was poor nor broke. However, money was still something about which she was concerned a lot especially when she had to go for a commercial audition for a skin brand. According to her, she had to worry about her makeup getting spoiled in an auto-rickshaw before she reached the studio; nevertheless, if any star kid had done that, he/she would have been called humble and nice for travelling in an auto-rickshaw.
Richa Chadha further adds that the problem with privilege is that those who have it are not able to see it and there can’t be a serious debate on equality until we talk about entitlement which will certainly not happen by accusing privileged for someone’s tragic end. She says that if Bollywood has to be made world class, people working in the industry have to understand the difference between nepotism and legacy.
She also slammed the fans who trolled Sushant’s friends and girlfriend after his departure and stated that discussions on mental health should take place instead of nepotism.

. Так, в мене справді сьогодні під час прямого ефіру ТСН о 9:00 випала частина переднього зуба). Це, напевно, найкурйозніший мій досвід за двадцять років роботи ведучою. Прямий ефір тим і прекрасний, що завжди непередбачуваний. Так, в 2013 я вперше прямо в своєму ефірі побачила кадри затримання свого чоловіка
на протесті під Київрадою, а кілька років тому мою ногу під час випуску несподівано почала облизувати собака, що забігла зі студії @snidanok Цього разу моя колега @nata_goncharova мені написала, мовляв, "ти так зреагувала, ніби ти щодня губиш зуби
". Ні, не щодня
. Просто саме зараз я вирішила виправити ту прикрість, яка сталася понад десять тому. В мене в спальні стояв важкий металевий будильник і одного разу дуже зацікавив мою маленьку доньку. Вона схопила його з підвіконня і почала розмахувати "іграшкою" навколо сплячої мами. І щойно я позіхнула, як маленька весела ручка відбила мені половину зуба. Зараз зважилася нарешті на більш радикальний ремонт. Тільки була не дуже уважна до заборони свого стоматолога надкусувати їжу передніми зубами до закінчення лікування. Власне, тому сталося те, що сталося… Чесно кажучи, думала, що інцидент пройде непоміченим. Саме цей епізод свідомо не виклали на YouTube канал ТСН. Але ми недооцінили уважність наших глядачів. Блогерка @ekulka виклала це в своєму профілі, і …. понеслося по всіх виданнях, і не лише українських. В усій цій історії мене особисто вразила та кількість підтримки, яку я отримала) – і в коментарях, і в особистих повідомленнях. Друзі, велике Вам спасибі
))). В будь-якій ситуації зберігаємо спокій
Завтра вранці побачимось
в @tsnua
