Video Of Driverless Bike Goes Viral On Social Media, Even Anand Mahindra Reacts

There is no shortage of talent in India and sometimes we stumble upon such acts or videos that make us wonder how it can be possible or only one word comes in our minds after watching them, i.e., magical!

In a video which is going viral on social media, a man is seen sitting on the backseat of a motorcycle which is running at a pretty good speed on the road but surprisingly, no one is seen riding it or in other words, the bike is riderless.

It may sound difficult to believe but it is true that there is no rider on the bike and still the person sitting on the backseat is very relaxed. The video appears to have been shot by another rider who also questions the person on the backseat as to how it is happening. In reply, the man just smiles and later on gives his affirmation when the man who was shooting calls it the magic of God.

First of all, watch the video:

The video was also noticed by the chief of Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra who is known for sharing unique and innovative clips on the micro-blogging site Twitter.

He liked the video and shared it with caption, “Love this… Musafir hoon yaaron… na chalak hai, na thikaana..”

It loosely translates to, “I’m just a traveler, there’s neither a rider nor a destination.”

The video has been watched by more than 5 lakh people and while it has made people confused as to how it can happen, there are many who have slammed Anand Mahindra for sharing such videos in which a person is indulged in acts which are not safe. Netizens also opine that there is always a risk of youngsters trying to copy such acts and get injured or lose their lives and hence, Anand Mahindra should not promote this kind of content, even though it has been shared on a funny note. Besides, some also talk about Elon Musk and his ambition of launching driverless vehicles.

Facebook Plans To Change Its Name, Netizens React With Hilarious Memes

The social media network Facebook has become an integral part of our lives over the years as it has made communication with our loved ones quite easy and also helped many people grow their businesses. Besides, it has given us a platform to express our views and share good thoughts which we want others to know. Founded in 2004, Facebook has transformed our way of living in many ways but soon its name may get changed as the organization is set for rebranding.

The CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg is said to be working on his next big plan and as per the reports, the discussion regarding the name change may take place in Annual Connect Conference which will take place on October 28. However, it is said that a lot of secrecy is being maintained in this regard and many senior officials are also not aware of what the new name may be but there is a buzz that it may be Horizon or something related to that as the organization is already working on a virtual reality version with this name. There was no clarification given or statement made by Facebook in this connection but there are also rumours that the company’s new name may be related to meta as in an interview in July, Mark Zuckerberg said that over the years they would transition from being a social media company to a metaverse company.

As the news of Facebook changing its name for rebranding appeared on the Internet, the micro-blogging site Twitter was flooded with memes and jokes. There were some who expressed their opinion as to what the new name should be while others took a dig at Facebook by saying that changing its name may help it in not being seen by the regulators.

Those Who Laugh Last, Laugh The Best Panamatta – A True Story Of Winning Hearts Over

Imagine your passion makes you create something new. Imagine what you created suddenly becomes popular. Now, imagine you becoming a viral sensation online through your creations.

This is the story of Pana Matta, a 15-member comedic group from Kundrathur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, experiencing all these and more. What started off as an activity borne out of passion and some light-hearted fun to pass time, Pana Matta unknowingly started toeing the line towards fame and stardom.

It was in XX, when a group of friends, sharing a common interest in comedy came together to find a way out of boredom. They started creating videos in the form of some hilarious content that would include mimicking comic scenes from famous Tamil movies – scenes, which, often brought joy and laughter into audience’s lives. Retelling them in Pana Matta’s own inimitable style has now made them a viral sensation. What started as an attempt to meaningfully utilise talent and also have fun resulted in the recognition by people online.

Not all journeys towards success are easy. Pana Matta also have had their share of problems while they were evolving. They had to endure two different sides – while their content was riding the waves of positive engagement online; offline, it was a different story. The group faced a lot of backlashes in the form of negative comments from those around them, especially their own neighbours who mocked them for their ‘trivial’ attempts at making this humour accessible to all.

“We started this to pass our leisure time, but later were humiliated by our neighbours. It was not good to listen to those comments, especially when you are trying something new. But one fine day we came across some really positive and encouraging comments pouring in online, from audiences across India that’s when we decided to ignore negativity and enjoy the positive blessings and love of the people”, says S R Raja, CEO, Pana Matta channel.

The drive to create more and better content helped the team at Pana Matta to move forward. They decided to not let the negativity deny their passion and growth. In an attempt to make their content funnier, the team experimented with bringing children onboard to play the roles of adults in their videos. A move that turned out to be a huge success as their videos garnered a lot of positive feedback online almost instantly. It was not just a success for the Pana Matta team, it also gave these children a chance to display and develop their talent and creativity and a means to earn for themselves.

Once mocked for their videos, Pana Matta is growing big and how. The team now has 1.2 million fans on Josh, with videos garnering a minimum of 200,000 views online.

So much so that Pana Matta have now scored roles in two upcoming Tamil movies by leveraging their content on India’s leading short-video app. No small feat by any means for anyone.

“Josh has helped us in getting good views and reach across the country. This has led to other platforms reaching out to us and giving us opportunities to work further in other projects. Josh has been a bridge to success which is leading us to some better places”, say team Pana Matta on how Josh helped in tiding over the crisis that the ban on non-Indians apps had created.

With a positive vibe and newfound confidence, the team at Pana Matta hope for bigger and better opportunities to come their way, which they hope will give the children who star in their videos a real chance at changing their fortune.

Pana Matta’s story is truly one of inspiration. Having faced negativity and bouncing back to have the last laugh is something we always hope to see in people. This is exactly what Josh, the made-in-India, short-video app launched in August 2020 by VerSe Innovation continues to represent. Josh is a confluence of India’s top 1000+ best creators, 20000 strong managed community of creators, the 10 biggest music labels, 15+ million UGC creators, best in class content creation tools, the hottest entertainment formats, and formidable user demographics.

All to give artists like Pana Matta a push to realise their ambitions and dreams, while overcoming adversity.

We are inspired by Pana Matta’s story and believe that their talent and creativity will bring them heaps of success while entertaining you regularly. Check out Pana Matta’s Josh profile and encourage them here: https://share.myjosh.in/profile/15d59f4c-a78b-4981-bcc5-83166707697a

“He Will Bowl When Humanity Ends,” Twitter Trolls Hardik Pandya For Not Bowling For Long

The cricket lovers from India and Pakistan are eagerly waiting for Oct 24 as the cricket teams of both the nations will face each other in the ICC T20I World Cup 2021 at Dubai International Stadium and there is no denying the fact that the intensity of this match is going to be pretty high.

The Indian team played a couple of warm-up matches, the first was against England while the second was against Australia and what made the Indian cricket fans really worried was the fact that all-rounder Hardik Pandya didn’t bowl at all in these two matches. In fact, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli bowled a couple of overs but Pandya didn’t bowl.

Earlier before the second leg of the IPL 2021, the chief selector Chetan Sharma stated that Hardik Pandya would be bowling his quota of overs in the T20 World Cup but now cricket lovers are questioning Hardik Pandya’s selection after he didn’t bowl in practice matches.

Rohit Sharma who was stand-in skipper for the warm-up match against Australia states that Hardik Pandya will take some more time to bowl and though he is playing well, he hasn’t started bowling till now. However, Hitman also adds that Pandya will certainly be ready to bowl by the start of the tournament and they are looking for a sixth bowling option too despite the fact that India has quality main bowlers.

The Indian cricket fans were quite upset after seeing Hardik Pandya not bowling and some of them asked as to why he is even called an all-rounder while several others demanded that he should be dropped.

Even Wasim Jaffer took a funny dig at Hardik Pandya by sharing a meme with caption, “Waiting for Hardik Pandya the bowler: #IndvAus #T20WorldCup”

Check out the tweet of Wasim Jaffer:

The Indian squad looks pretty strong and can easily be referred to as favourites to win the T20 World Cup, especially after MS Dhoni joined as the mentor of the team. India has performed pretty well during Virat Kohli’s captaincy but it hasn’t won any ICC trophy under his leadership and this is going to be last T20 World Cup of Virat Kohli as a skipper as he has already decided to quit captaincy in order to decrease his workload.

We wish team India luck and hope that it takes the trophy home!

Dale Steyn Wishes Sehwag On His Birthday With A Unique & Witty Tweet, Viru Responds

The former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag who has earned the reputation of hitting great shots even on the micro-blogging site Twitter with his funny and witty tweets turned 43 yesterday. The social media networks got flooded with best wishes and not just fans but many former cricketers also wished Viru on his special day.

Among all the messages, the tweet of former South African cricketer Dale Steyn stood apart as he came up with a really unique way of wishing Nawab of Najafgarh. Dale Steyn tweeted, “My sharpest knife back home is nicknamed Viru, cuts anything! Happy birthday pal! Have a great one @virendersehwag”.

Dale Steyn also posted a photo of Virender Sehwag playing an upper cut which was one of the most favourite shots of Viru and he troubled many bowlers with it.

While this funny tweet of Dale Steyn was liked a lot by fans, Sehwag also cheerfully responded to Dale Steyn in his own style by tweeting, “Thank you Great man.  I have named my camera SteynGun, shoots anything.”

Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar’s opening pair was one of the best opening pairs of all times and with both of them on the pitch, the opposition never had a chance to relax.

Sachin paaji also wished his opening partner in a lovely way as he tweeted, “On the field or off the field, entertainment and laughs never stop when you have Viru around. Happy birthday opening partner!”

Sachin also posted a photo in which he seems to be celebrating a dismissal of the opposition batter and here you can see his tweet:

Virender Sehwag was a part of two World Cup winning teams – 2007 ICC T20I World Cup and 2011 ICC ODI World Cup. Viru paaji played 104 test matches in his career and scored 8586 runs at an average of 49.3 runs. If we talk about his ODI career, he has scored 8273 runs in 251 matches with an average of 35 runs. He has played 19 T20Is for India in which he scored 394 runs with an average of 21.9.

What makes Virender Sehwag stand apart from other Indian cricketers is that he is the only Indian to score a triple century in test matches and he has done it twice. First time he scored triple century (309) in 2004 against Pakistan at Multan after which he also got the nickname of Multan Ka Sultan. His second triple century (319) came against South Africa in 2008 at Chennai and it is still the fastest as Virender Sehwag played only 278 deliveries to reach his 300 mark.

Hopefully Viru paaji must have had a great birthday!!!!

Ruturaj Reacts On Comparison With MS Dhoni & Reveals Mahi’s Advice That Led Him To Success

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has certainly helped the young Indian cricketers in enhancing their game as they get a chance to play with the senior Indian and international cricketers and learn from them. Ruturaj Gaikwad has shown all the signs of becoming a great player provided he listens to all the advices and suggestions that he has got from MS Dhoni, the skipper of his IPL team Chennai Super Kings.

Though CSK performed pretty badly in the IPL 2020 as it was the first team to get disqualified from the play-offs, even then Ruturaj Gaikwad’s talent was quite visible as he scored three consecutive fifties for his team. Talking about the IPL 2021, Ruturaj scored 635 runs in 16 matches with an average of 45.35. He has not only become the youngest player to win the Orange cap but is also declared as the Emerging Player of the tournament.

Recently in an interview, Ruturaj Gaikwad talked about what MS Dhoni advised him during the IPL. He said that in couple of matches, everything was under control but he got out in 40s, it was then that MS Dhoni came to him and told him that he should stay till the end and finish the game for his team as this is what differentiates a good player from a great player. Ruturaj reveals that Dhoni puts a lot of stress on the fact that if a batsman is set, he should finish the job for his team.

He also talked about the support that he got from the CSK team management, especially when he was not able to score runs in the first three games of the league. He stated that neither Mahi bhai nor coach Fleming or anyone else said anything, they just said that he was playing well and just one knock away from scoring runs so he should go and enjoy his game. Dhoni also advised him to use social media in a limited manner which is not difficult for him as the Maharashtrian cricketer does not use social media much and he just wants to post about cricket.

CSK players Suresh Raina and Robin Uthappa compared Ruturaj Gaikwad’s ability of staying cool and calm in critical situation with MS Dhoni’s style of playing and that really surprised Ruturaj; he just laughs at it and says that he doesn’t believe them.

Though Ruturaj Gaikwad refused to believe his senior teammates, he added that he would certainly like to remain like that as it helped him achieve success.

Great job, Ruturaj Gaikwad!

Apple Sells ‘Polishing Cloth’ To Clean Apple Devices At Whopping $19, Twitter Can’t Keep Calm

The American multinational technology company Apple was all over the social media yesterday after the Apple Unleashed Event got over because of the high prices of its newly launched Apple MacBook Pro.

Netizens had a great time reacting over the same and the micro-blogging site Twitter was flooded with memes and jokes and now Apple is once again getting targeted because of its polishing cloth which has been priced at $19 (Rs. 1400 approx.)

This micro fibre cloth has the logo of Apple and it is specifically for the purpose of cleaning all the Apple devices. As per reports, the cloth is compatible with all the devices that have displays made of nano-texture glass.

However, the online community was not happy with this launch of Apple and while some called it the peak of capitalism, others named it as an act of absurdity and greediness.

Here are some of the selected reactions:

Whatever Apple may launch but the Indians have a reputation of using old cloths for cleaning purposes because of which this cloth is absolutely meaningless for the desis. Moreover after selling products at such whopping prices, this cloth from Apple seems to be a sort of exploitation.

Are you interested in buying it?
