Singh AKA Mika Singh is the undisputed king when it comes to singing
with swag. Long before the Honey Singhs and Badshahs arrived, it was
King Mika who was ruling the dance floors with his peppy numbers. His
uber-cool and ultra-rich lifestyle, coupled with his bad boy image, has
ensured that he's always in the limelight. However, there's no denying
the fact that his songs are sure shot party starters.
Ever since he arrived in Bollywood with saawan mein lag gayi aag, Mika
has maintained his level of swagger that other singers can only dream
of. And even when the lyrics don't make much sense, he pulls them off in
style.
So hold your breath because we have compiled a list of songs where words were random, but Mika's swag was bang on point.
Here it goes! *sings Mauja Hi Mauja*
Isn't it amazing that songs with lyrics like these have become super-duper hits? All thanks to Mika paaji and his next-level swag. Thanks for giving us these random yet kick-ass songs, Mika. May you live long and prosper!
From being Miss World 2000 to
quite literally taking over the world, Priyanka Chopra has come a long
way. Not only has she become an international icon, she also has two
parallel successful careers in two different continents, which she
manages with utmost grace.
She has a lead role in a major TV series, Quantico, and is also gearing up for her Hollywood debut with Baywatch. Her appearance in The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon left her fans in awe.
As if she wasn't slaying enough already, Priyanka has added another
feather in her (we're pretty sure, very heavy) cap. She has appeared in a
music video along the likes of Akon, Jennifer Lopez, Rafael Nadal,
Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Seacrest and many others.
The catchy song, Don't You Need Somebody, by RedOne features Enrique Iglesias, R. City, Serayah & Shaggy.
As most of us know, Fast & Furious 8, also known as Fast 8 is currently being shot for its April 14, 2017 release.
To
give the fans a little sneak peak into the world of Fast & Furious,
Vin Diesel just shared the making of an action sequence on his
Instagram and it's so insane that we fell short of words.
The
idea, the execution, the destruction are all so savage that it only ups
the ante set by the previous movies in the franchise.
Watch it right away because you're going to want to watch it over and over again!

Back
in the early '90s, watching a film was like a picnic. We hoarded enough
chips and bottles of soft drinks. And it wasn't very often that our
parents took us to the movies. But the excitement of an outing that
included a film viewing was enough to get us excited days before the
glorious day.
It was on one such day that my parents took me for a film which I knew nothing about. Obviously, I didn't know what to expect.
Nobody could convince us that those dinosaurs in the movie were unreal.
We stepped into a world that existed 65 million years ago but the impact was such that we still feel that the way Jurassic Park
introduced us to dinosaurs was nothing short of perfection. It was
fantasy that translated beautifully on screen and there was nothing that
our parents could say that would dissuade us from believing that those
dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were not real.
The world of Jurassic Park felt like a parallel universe that could totally exist.
Jurassic Park
was the first English language film that I saw and that probably stands
true for a lot of '90s kids. And boy oh boy was it an experience! The
first sight of those giant reptiles left me in awe and there was no way
that I could believe that it was all done with computer graphics. Sure
the film had better CGI than most of the films we watch today, but it
had more to do with the fact that my innocent mind was so accepting of
the world where man could 'create dinosaurs' from the DNA that had
stayed on trees for millions of years. The world of Jurassic Park felt
like a parallel universe that could totally exist.
It felt like an amusement park which had replaced rides with something even more magnificent.
We lived vicariously through those kids in the film.
My
younger self was so jealous of Tim and Lex. They got to go on an
adventure of a lifetime. Of course, it wasn't a pleasant ride but
watching them struggle in near-death situations and still coming out on
top made me want to be in their place. The scientists in the movie had
such cool jobs that gave me aspirations to be like them when I grew up.
The star of the film, the one who
left us all in shock and awe was the T. Rex. I still get the chills when
I think about the scene where we can hear its footsteps and see the
ripples in a glass of water. The gravity of his terror was such that the
impending doom became obvious and unavoidable.
For me, the T. Rex was both the hero and the villain in the film.
The
one who was kept in captivity and was probably just trying to figure
out a way to make sense of everything. The sounds he made scared me for
numerous nights thereafter. It took the silly kid in me months to
actually believe that it was all computerised.
Even though the film used quite a
lot of technical jargon but at no point did it alienate the audience.
Rather, it made us believe that anything in the world was possible.
Before I saw the film, I couldn't have even imagined the magnitude of
those creatures who existed ages before mankind.
The dinosaurs, the story telling,
the thrill of the film was something that happens once in many years.
But the film imparted lessons that have stayed with us. The most
important one being that the power of nature is greater than all. It can
create and destroy anything and we shouldn't be interfering with its
course.
The moment humans start thinking they can change nature, that's where their doom starts.
The
Delhi government has asked five private hospitals in the city,
including Fortis Escorts Heart Institute and Max Super Specialty
Hospital (Saket), to deposit "unwarranted profits" of over Rs 600 crore
for refusing free treatment to the poor, which was the prime condition
for leasing land to these hospitals.
Dr
Hem Prakash, additional director (EWS) in the Health Department, said
these five hospitals—Max Super Specialty Hospital (Saket), Fortis
Escorts Heart Institute, Shanti Mukand Hospital, Dharamshila Cancer
Hospital and Pushpawati Singhania Research Institute—were provided lands at concessional rates between 1960 and 1990 on the condition that they will treat the poor free of cost.

"These five hospitals have not abided by
the conditions. We had sent notices to these hospitals earlier in
December 2015, seeking their explanation as to why they failed to treat
the poor. But none of them gave satisfactory replies so we initiated
action against them," said Prakash.
The hospitals have been asked to pay the amount by July 9, failing which further action will be initiated against them.
Total
43 private hospitals in Delhi were allotted land at concessional rates
on the condition that they will keep 10 percent of their in-patient
department capacity and 25 percent of out-patient department capacity to
treat EWS patients free of cost.

Fortis
Healthcare's subsidiary Escort Heart Institute and Research Centre has
received an order to deposit Rs 503.36 crore for non-compliance of
conditions of land allotment lease.
Advocate Ashok Agarwal, a member of the high courtappointed committee monitoring the matter, told The Times of India,
"The
recovery amount has been calculated from the date when the hospital
became operational to March 22, 2007, when the high court passed final
orders on a PIL demanding implementation of the provision of free
treatment to poor and action against the erring hospitals."
Currently, there are 640 beds for EWS patients across 42 hospitals in the city.

“There are liaison officers who ensure
compliance in the hospitals. The occupancy has improved; around 60 -70
percent beds are usually occupied. However, there are a few hospitals
who are regular defaulters,” a Delhi government official told the Hindustan Times.
But
most of the beds for the EWS rarely get used because at least 50
percent of the cost of any treatment usually goes towards medicine and
consumables, which the poor cannot afford.

However, none of the hospitals
seem interested in paying up and have said that they will challenge the
order in the Delhi High Court.
Devki
Devi Foundation, of which Max-Super Speciality Hospital in Saket is a
unit, said, "We believe the order is unfair to us, we stand fully
committed to discharging all our obligations towards economically weaker
sections (EWS). We are extremely serious towards fulfilling our
obligations. While we study the order in detail, we will prefer an
appeal against this order in the appropriate forum."
Suversha
Khanna, director of Dharamshila Cancer Hospital, also said that they
will challenge the order in the court while representatives of
Pushpawati Singhania Research Institute and Shanti Mukand Hospital could
not be contacted.
It was a dream debut for opener Lokesh
Rahul as his attractive 100 not out enabled a new-look Indian team
record a resounding nine-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the first ODI
of the three match series in Harare on Saturday.
Moment to remember as KL Rahul reaches 100 with a six / AFP
Chasing a paltry target of 169, the Indian batsmen hardly broke sweat as they comfortably cruised home in 42.3 overs.
Playing
his first ODI, Rahul completed his coveted three-figure landmark with a
huge six over deep mid-wicket off seamer Hamilton Masakadza, when there
was only two runs required to win the match.
Rahul
also became the first Indian to score a hundred on ODI debut. And by
extension, has the highest score by any Indian batsmen on ODI debut.
When
he reached 87, Rahul also became the highest individual scorer on debut
eclipsing Robin Uthappa's 86 against England on his ODI debut in
Indore, back in 2006.
KL Rahul now 11th batsman in ODI history to make a 100 on debut#ZimvInd
Rahul
found an able ally in Ambati Rayudu (62 n.O.) as they added 162 runs in
38 overs for the unbroken second wicket partnership even though the
Hyderabadi batsman was not at his fluent best.
Rahul
hit seven boundaries and a six in his 115-ball innings, a relatively
subdued Rayudu picked up during the second half, hitting five boundaries
in 120 balls.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni's
team were in complete control of the proceedings right from the start as
the hosts never looked like putting up a fight during the course of the
match, once they were put into bat.
After
Jasprit Bumrah (4/28), Dhawan Kulkarni (2/42) and Barinder Sran (2/42)
made full use of the conditions where there was help for seamers,
Rahul-Rayudu pair kept calm as they chased with minimum fuss.
NOTE: Make no mistake, this is NOT an attempt to diss India. I love and
respect my country. And there are many areas where India is a lot
better than America.
America is the land of dreams and thousands flock to the country every
year. Obviously the exodus happens for more reasons than one.
Well-paying jobs, rewarding careers, high standards of living - you name
it and Uncle Sam has it all on a platter. America is way ahead of
India in the true sense of the word. And clearly there are a lot of
things which they can do that we cannot/don't.
