The England cricket team will certainly like to forget the Ashes 2021-22 as they have lost the first three test matches in a humiliating manner and their condition in the fourth test match is also not very good.

The fourth test match is being played at Sydney Cricket Ground and after winning the toss, the Australians decided to bat first. The hosts declared their first innings at the score of 416/8; the highest scorer for Australia was Usman Khawaja who played a brilliant knock of 137 runs and Steve Smith (67) also made useful fifty.

In response, the England top-order once again crumbled in front of the Aussie bowlers and there was a time when England was reeling at the score of 36/4 but Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow fought back as they put up a partnership of 128 runs before Ben Stokes got lbw out on Nathan Lyon’s bowling on the personal score of 66. Spectators also praised efforts of the duo but there was one person who made a pretty mean comment on both the batters.

When Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow were walking towards the dressing room after the 3^rd session, that person shouted, “Stokes, you’re fat” and “Take your jumper off, Bairstow, lose some weight Bairstow.” Though Ben Stokes kept his cool when the spectator targeted him, he was not able to control himself when the guy targeted his colleague and he shut him down by saying, “Pal, That’s right. Just turn around and walk away. Weak as piss”.

Jonny Bairstow is 103 not out and England’s score is 258/7 at the end of the day 3. While Jonny Bairstow will like to reduce the lead of 158 and try to take his team near to the score of the Aussies, the Australian bowlers will like to get the England team all out as soon as possible. The Aussies have already won the series by winning the three test matches of the 5-match test series; however, the visitors can save some respect by winning the remaining two test matches.

Will Australia defeat England in the fourth test match as well? What do you think? Let us know your views.

Desi fathers are known for being strict with their kids and they emphasize a lot on discipline and focus on career but what troubles many children is that their fathers are pretty obsessed with few particular career streams such as medical, engineering, civil services, etc. and they are not interested in knowing what their children want.

Desi fathers also don’t like to praise or show affection to their kids like the mothers do but they are very much concerned about their children’s future and leave no stone unturned in ensuring that their kids are on the right career path.

It won’t be wrong to say that many fathers are obsessed with civil services and they can speak for long hours on the benefits of becoming an IAS, IFS, etc. However, sometimes this obsession is so high that the fathers don’t even care about the occasion or the timing of their advice; they just suggest their children to pursue civil services.

A Pakistani Twitter user revealed that just after two days of her marriage, her father asked her and her hubby to pursue Central Superior Services (CSS) which is equivalent to Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) of India.

Here is what she tweeted, “My father, two days after my marriage, to me and my husband: waise aap donon CSS kyun nahi karlete?”

Soon other Twitter users started reacting and they also narrated similar incidents; here are some of the selected reactions:

The Indian film industry has set separate standards for actors and actresses as the actors not only earn more than the actresses but their career is also pretty long in comparison to their female colleagues. While the actors have the liberty to act as the male lead and do romantic roles with actresses half of their age, the career of actresses get over as they get married or cross the age of 35.

Recently, the former Miss Universe 2000 and actress Lara Dutta gave an interview in which she talked on various issues such as how badly the industry treats female actors when they get older and why she is feeling more comfortable while acting in her 40s.

As per Lara Dutta, the industry doesn’t treat actresses who get older in a good manner as there have been many credible actresses such as Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, etc. and as she includes herself in this list too, she adds that when they come on the screen, there are many who call them old or fat and there is nothing that can be done about it.

In her words,

“I’ll admit that the industry is not kind to you and it doesn’t allow women to age gracefully. You have credible actors like Kajol, Madhuri (Dixit), Rani (Mukerji), and in that matter, even me, yet when they come on screen, people pass comments like ‘ab buddhi lagne lagi hai’ (Now she has started looking old)’ or ‘yaar ab moti ho gai hai’ (She is fat now),’ and at the end of the day, you can’t help it.”

Talking about acting in her 40s, the 43 years old actress says that she feels liberated as an actor now because nobody expects her to do glamorous roles as she is a former Miss Universe. In her words, “Honestly, as an actor, I feel age has liberated me.”

Lara Dutta adds that now people take a note of her acting talent and she is able to play the roles which have depth.

Many fans of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah are still hoping that Disha Vakani will return to the show but there are numerous others who have lost the hope of seeing the actress once again playing the role of Dayaben in the serial as it has been around 4 years now that she went on maternity leave and didn’t return even after repeated talks with the makers. While some reports stated that the makers are looking for a new actress for playing the character of Dayaben, it seems that the makers are also waiting for Disha Vakani as no new actress has been inducted in the show for this character so far.

Well, everyone is missing Dayaben but have you ever noticed that one more character has been missing from the show? Yes, you read it right! There is one more actress who is not seen on TMKOC and that too for almost 2 years now and if you are a true TMKOC fan, you will be to able to tell her name within few seconds.

If you haven’t guessed it till now, let us tell you that we are talking about Bawri who is also addressed by fans as Bagha Ki Bawri.

The name of the actress who used to play the character of Bawri is Monika Bhadoriya and she joined the team of TMKOC in 2013. Her character was getting a lot of love and affection from audiences but in the year 2019, she quit the show.

As per the media reports, Monika Bhadoriya was pretty happy with her character and the way it was shown in the show but she was constantly demanding a hike in her fees. Nevertheless, the makers refused to fulfill her demand because of which she took the big decision of leaving the show.

Though the story of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah doesn’t revolve around the character of Bawri, sources suggest that the makers are looking for a new actress who can play the character of Bawri in a good way just like Monika Bhadoriya did it.

While we have seen Monika mostly in traditional Indian dresses in the show, in real life, she also likes to wear western and bold outfits.

With the blessings of Bhole Nath, all the hardships and problems related to your daily life can be solved, and the toughest challenges can be overcome. You can achieve connection with lord shiva and be his disciple is by making Rudraksha a part of your life.

Rudraksha can be worn in various forms, Rudraksha bracelet being one of the most common ways among all. But before wearing a Rudraksha bracelet, there are some precautions you must follow. These precautions will help you effectively achieve the benefits and blessings from Rudraksha and Lord Shiva. Here are five things to note before wearing a Rudraksha bracelet.

5 Things To Note Before Wearing A Rudraksha Bracelet

●       Receive your Rudraksha with purity.

If you want to wear and chant Rudraksha, then make sure you are completely ready for it. Purity, both physically and mentally, is necessary for wearing Rudraksha. So, before going to the Shiv temple to wear energized Rudraksha, take a proper bath and clean yourself physically. Also, avoid consuming non-vegetarian food.

For mental cleanliness, involve in the practice of meditation, read holy scriptures, and do involve in religious activities. This will help to purity you from within and make you ready for the peaceful life ahead with Rudraksha.

●       Buy your Rudraksha from a genuine source.

If the beads of Rudraksha are not stuck together properly, they won’t work, so take proper care while buying your Rudraksha. The best option is to buy your Rudraksha bracelet from some genuine vendor or ask priests from Shiva Temple for an authentic place for the same.

●       Neither Bargain nor borrow for your Rudraksha.

Rudraksha is the most auspicious bead that brings with it a lot of blessings and good luck. As good luck can’t be borrowed from someone, you cannot borrow money to get your own Rudraksha. Wait for the time till you are ready to buy your own, then go for buying and energizing your Rudraksha. Also, never try to bargain while buying your piece or energizing your beads. Dakshina given to the panditji should be given wholeheartedly to get complete peace of mind and benefits from your rudraksha bracelet.

●       Essential Things You Should Never Do With your Rudraksha

As you maintain proper purity while serving God, make sure you maintain the same process while wearing the Rudraksha bracelet. Never touch the beads of Rudraksha with dirty hands, and avoid wearing them while in washing areas or at someone’s cremation. Also, take care of not pointing the Rudraksha bracelet of yours or someone else’s with the pointer or index finger.

●       Neither share nor remove your Rudraksha bracelet

The energized rudraksha bracelet given to anyone is made specifically for the individual. If you share it with someone, then the long-established connection with Lord Shiva gets disconnected. Also, avoid removing your rudraksha bracelet unless it is very important and necessary. You should even wear it while sleeping unless there is any serious problem.

Rudraksha bracelet is just not any usual accessory, but a bracelet made of Rudraksha that came directly from Lord shiva. So, you must follow all the precautions before and after wearing it.

Procedure to wear Rudraksha

Wearing and worshipping a rudraksha bracelet blesses you with prosperity, wealth, peace, and health. But you can’t put on Rudraksha just like that; a proper ritual should be followed before wearing a rudraksha bracelet. Proper mantras performed by priests activate the holy and sacred activity of the rudraksha beads.

The best, most auspicious day to perform the ritual and wear the Rudraksha bracelet is Monday of Shukla Paksha. This day is considered as the day of Shiva when you can achieve the direct blessings of Lord Shiva and Rudraksha. Also, after wearing Rudraksha, a proper purifying procedure and according lifestyle changes must be followed.

Final Thoughts

If you want to bring change in your lives and get peace of mind, then Rudraksha is something you must look into and start wearing. All the pointers mentioned above will help you know the basics you must keep in mind before wearing the Rudraksha bracelet. Once worn with faith and cared for with purity, it will help you tackle things easily and get through any hardship in your life and help achieve what you want.

The second test match between India and South Africa is being played at Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, but just before the match started, the Indian cricket fans got disappointed as they got a very bad news. It was revealed that the Indian skipper Virat Kohli is suffering from an upper back spasm because of which he won’t be playing in the second test match and KL Rahul will be leading the side in his absence. The stand-in skipper KL Rahul is quite hopeful that Virat Kohli will certainly be back for the third test match that will be played at Cape Town starting January 11.

The former South African cricketer Morne Morkel states that it is definitely a big blow for the Indian squad as Virat Kohli leads in a magnificent manner; he keeps the energy high as his body language is quite expressive. Morne Morkel also adds that though India will miss its skipper big time, this team is quite experienced and capable of dealing with this situation. He also says that it is a big positive for the hosts as Virat Kohli has done well in South Africa in the past and he also knows the conditions pretty well. Morkel further adds that he is quite sure Dean Elgar, the skipper of South Africa, is hiding a smile.

The former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar completely agrees with Morne Morkel as he states that the Indian squad will definitely miss Virat Kohli, adding that it’s is a very important test match because if India wins this match, it will win the series as well. Gavaskar also talks about Hanuma Vihari who has replaced Virat Kohli and says that Hanuma is in the team because of the experience that he has and what remains to be seen is that whether Hanuma comes to bat at number 4 or it will be Ajinkya Rahane to bat at number 4.

At the end of the day one, the score of team India was 146/5. The Indian squad had won the toss and decided to bat first; the Indian openers KL Rahul (50) and Mayank Agarwal (26) gave a steady start but Mayank Agarwal got out when India’s score was 36. The poor form of Cheteshwar Pujara continued as he got out at the score of 3 and Ajinkya Rahane was not even able to open his account. Hanuma Vihari scored 20 runs before getting out and when the game of the first day ended, Rishabh Pant (13) was at the crease with veteran Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin (24). With Ravindra Jadeja missing from the middle-order, a lot depends on these two batsmen as after them, only Shardul Thakur is a recognized batsman.

For South Africa, Duanne Olivier and Marco Jensen took two wickets each and Kagiso Rabada was able to get one wicket.

Will South Africa make a comeback in the series and win the second test match? What do you think?

The Indian test skipper Virat Kohli once again led his team to a historic win as the Indian squad registered a comfortable victory in the first test match of the three-match test series against South Africa which was played at Centurion. However, one thing that has been noticed by fans and mediapersons is that Virat Kohli hasn’t been addressing the media since his explosive press conference which he conducted just before the Indian team departed for South Africa. Some reports have even suggested that the BCCI has banned Virat Kohli from appearing in any media interaction.

In that press conference, Virat Kohli spoke on many issues including his rift with Rohit Sharma, his decision of quitting the T20I captaincy and when he got informed about being removed from the post of the ODI skipper. He also made a statement as per which he was never asked to continue as the T20I skipper, in fact when he informed the board about his decision of quitting captaincy after the T20 World Cup, it was taken in a pretty good manner and was termed as a progressive step. This statement contradicted the BCCI President Sourav Ganguly’s statement which he made in an interview when he said that he personally asked Virat Kohli to remain the T20 Skipper but he didn’t listen.

Now the Indian cricket team is going to face South Africa in the second test match of the series starting Monday and it will be played at Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. The pre-match conference was attended by the Indian head coach Rahul Dravid and when mediapersons asked the former Indian cricketer about Virat’s absence from press conferences, he stated that the decision of who will attend press conference is not taken by them. He further adds that Virat Kohli has been held back from addressing media because the board wants him to interact with media before his 100^th test match and they can ask him questions regarding his 100^th test as well as celebrate.

Rahul Dravid praises the Indian test skipper and calls him phenomenal as far as his involvement in the training and practice is concerned. He also says that Virat Kohli has batted well and though he hasn’t been able to score big, runs will come easily once he gets his touch back.

The second test match is very important for both the teams as the hosts will like to stay alive in the series by winning this match and on the other hand, the visitors will wish to take an invincible lead by attaining victory.
