Jeans are a man’s second best friend. He can literally live in jeans day in and day out. We know we have said this a million times and this is the only reason we keep coming back with newer techniques/hacks for you all to have the best possible time with your jeans. It’s a known fact that each one of us buys a pair of jeans once in like 6 months or maybe more and that pair costs heavily on our pocket because we want to buy a quality pair simply for the reason that we are going to wear it 7 times a week.

In order to simplify and help you all buy the best pair of jeans to last the longest time, we have got you these 6Cs of denims that will make you understand how you should always buy jeans!

1. Crest – Choosing the right brand
This is usually the most important thing to decide. Many brands make jeans but only specialists do it best. You may like a new style of jeans from a new brand but remember changing brands for jeans is not something you should do often.


2. Construction – Know your materials
Understanding different types of materials of jeans can be a complex state to be in. For a layman, the cost of denim correlates to longevity. That is the only way they can make a difference in material and quality.

Most brands only offer two types of jeans, that is, standard and selvage. Standard jeans are woven in industrial quantities on equally enormous machinery, and are perfectly serviceable, whereas Selvage jeans are crafted on traditional shuttle looms and is marked out by stitching (often red)on the inside of a turn up.



3. Cut – How you like your silhouettes
Fitting is the most important thing in a jeans than anything else. If the fit isn’t correct, you can’t wear them at all. We say if the fit of jeans from a particular brand is perfect for you, stick to that brand for good. Cut also means that you decide if you want a slim or a straight fit.



4. Colour - Don’t taste the rainbow

As simple as it can get, colour is whatever you want to wear. Don’t go in for a colour which looks like a rainbow. It’s totally okay to have four different colours of jeans but not all in one. We suggest you buy a moderate colour which can be worn with all outfits!



5. Complexion - Look closely at the details
Recently, jeans have started to get a lot more stylish and detailing on them. Ripped, faded or patched are some of the few details you can get on your pair of denims. Decide beforehand if you want details or want it simple!



6. Cleaning - Yes, you will have to wash them eventually
There are a lot of myths around the cleaning and washing of denims but most are untrue. The only one being true would be that longer they stay away from the machine, longer would be their life and shine.

Dalip Singh Rana, A.K.A The Great Khali was injured badly in a recent fight at a sports event in Haldwani, Uttarakhand. The 44-year-old wrestler was participating in the first event of ‘The Great Khali Show’ at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium when the unfortunate incident happened.

A report published in Hindustan Times claimed that ‘foreign fighters’ were responsible. He has been admitted to the ICU division of Brijlal Hospitals after head and back injuries.



Before the event Khali had made an emotional speech denouncing his opponents who said that his career was finished. “People keep making these empty threats and useless statements every day. If they have the guts they should stop talking and come and meet me in the ring and then we will see who is who.”

“Just because we are Indians they think they are superior and can say and do whatever they want. They have not only challenged me but also the spirit of India and I am not going to let them win.

Ranji Trophy Video Feb 25 2016 Updated 15:49, 25 Feb 2016 IST
Video: Jaydev Unadkat delivery strikes back of Surya Kumar Yadav's helmet
The 41st over of the innings was a maiden, a perfect example why the rejuvenated Jaydev Unadkat is a feared prospect in domestic cricket

Jaydev Unadkat goes to check KKR teammate Surya Kumar Yadav after hitting him with a short ball
In the ongoing Ranji Trophy final being played between Saurashtra and Mumbai, there have been two highlights – Shreyas Iyer’s batting, which currently places him 95 runs short of VVS Laxman’s 1415 runs in 1999/2000 as most runs in a season, with one innings to go; and Jaydev Unadkat’s bowling, whose dual tally of 327 runs and 38 wickets places him as the second best all-rounder for the season.
Mumbai, chasing Saurashtra’s first innings score of 235, were rocked early by Unadkat’s twin blows, and the lanky left-arm pacer came back towards the end of the lunch session to trouble the set partnership of Iyer and Surya Kumar Yadav too.
The 41st over of the innings was a maiden over, a perfect example why the rejuvenated Jaydev Unadkat is a feared prospect in the domestic circuit. Yadav, who was on strike, missed the first three balls, and tried to duck the fourth one. The ball followed him in its trajectory and crashed into the middle of the back of his helmet, as he turned his eyes away from the ball.

Unadkat immediately went over to the batsman to ensure he was fine, inspecting the back of the helmet. The two, though playing for rival teams in the Ranji final, will be seen playing together for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.
The fifth ball of the over straightened and beat Yadav’s bat too, and it was apparent that he was going through a tough time tackling Unadkat. The last ball of the over was shown a closed bat face, and it trickled to mid-wicket.

I believe in synchronicity  and the power of messages .If ever  I get message from two different sources in quick session   ,I sit up and take notice. Such messages may visit you through select close people, something you read ,or something just as a floating thought that teases your  mind.

The messages that has lately teased my consciousness is on the power of creativity – our fascination for it, and yet our reluctance to ride our wave.                                                                                                                                                                             Creativity as a living , throbbing entity touched upon and enhanced upon many human minds before it visit your brain as a inspiration. And then it is upto you whether you accept it with your arms wide open or not.

Have you ever wondered same ideas visit people in the same time.?  I have thought this often. I believe that when you focus on the passion of your purpose ,you are stung tight with spirit of the purpose.

Do you ever do anything of this kind ? chase ideas, create perfect soil and work for them?  Want to start now? Who knows  what may be waiting for you?

The mysterious Red Rain of Kerala
The colored rain of Kerala first fell on 25 July 2001, in the districts of Kottayam and Idukki in the southern part of the state. Some reports suggested that other colors of rain had been seen also.
People reported many more occurrences of the red rain over the following ten days, and then with diminishing frequency until late September.
According to locals, a loud thunderclap and flash of light, followed by groves of trees shedding shriveled grey "burnt" leaves, preceded the first colored rain. Reports had been given of shriveled leaves and the disappearance and sudden formation of wells around the same time in the area.
Red particles in suspension in the rain water caused the coloration of the rain, and the red rain appeared at times as strongly colored as blood.
It typically fell over small areas, no more than a few square kilometres in size, sometimes so localized that normal rain could be falling just a few metres away from the red rain.
Red rainfalls typically lasted less than twenty minutes.
Godfrey Louis, a physicist based in Kerala, analysed drops of the rain expecting the strange color would be a result of dust particles. But that didn't turn out to be the case.
"Dust particles do not have this irregular shape," Louis said in the program. "They are not transparent like this."
Louis noticed something else when he analysed the crimson-colored water droplets under the microscope. In his opinion, the particles appeared to be alive, with some superficial similarities to blood cells -- although closer inspection revealed they were not blood cells.
At first, the official report from the Center for Earth Science Studies attributed the red rain to an exploding meteor that fell to Earth in the area a week before the first red rainstorm.
After working with the Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute, the official explanation was changed to spores, according to the Indian Express.
Researchers at Stintec, a lab in Sri Lanka, found something more shocking. Even though the so-called "spore cells" were replicating, not one trace of DNA could be found.
Louis believes that the spores were on the meteor that exploded over Kerala prior to the rainstorm.
He said research showed that the supposed space cells managed to continue replicating even under temperatures exceeding 572 degrees Fahrenheit.
"It was growing at temperatures that would kill other lifeforms," Louis said on the show.
British-based astrobiologist Chandra Wickramasinghe believes that the "alien rain" theory is not only plausible, but likely, especially since 100 tons of space rock hits Earth daily.
The official story is that the red colouration was caused by terrestrial algae, but this does not explain the research and findings detailed above.
The last two pictures show the red rain under a microscope and bottled for laboratory tests
So far, it seems to remain a contested and intriguing mystery....

Once upon a time, there was a man who was very helpful, kindhearted, and generous. He was a man who will help someone without asking anything to pay him back. He will help someone because he wants to and he loves to. One day while walking into a dusty road, this man saw a purse, so he picked it up and noticed that the purse was empty. Suddenly a woman with a policeman shows up and gets him arrested.
The woman kept on asking where did he hide her money but the man replied, “It was empty when I found it, Mam.” The woman yelled at him, “Please give it back, It’s for my son’s school fees.” The man noticed that the woman really felt sad, so he handed all his money. He could say that the woman was a single mother. The man said, “Take these, sorry for the inconvenience.” The woman left and policeman held he man for further questioning.
The woman was very happy but when she counted her money later on, it was doubled, she was shocked. One day while woman was going to pay her son’s school fees towards the school, she noticed that some skinny man was walking behind her. She thought that he may rob her, so she approached a policeman standing nearby. He was the same policeman, who she took along to inquire about her purse. The woman told him about the man following her, but suddenly they saw that man collapsing. They ran at him, and saw that he was the same man whom they arrested few days back for stealing a purse.
He looked very weak and woman was confused. The policeman said to the woman, “He didn’t return your money, he gave you his money that day. He wasn’t the thief but hearing about you son’s school fees, he felt sad and gave you his money.” Later, they helped man stand up, and man told the woman, “Please go ahead and pay your son’s school fees, I saw you and followed you to be sure that no one steals your son’s school fees.” The woman was speechless.
Moral of the story: Life gives you strange experiences, sometime it shocks you and sometimes it may surprise you. We end up making wrong judgments or mistakes in our anger, desperation and frustration. However, when you get a second chance, correct your mistakes and return the favor. Be Kind and Generous. Learn to Appreciate what you are given.

The Rs 251 smartphone Freedom 251 is a bad advertisement for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ambitious Make in India programme. Make in India is a very high profile initiative which wants to make India a world class manufacturing hub of everything – starting from mobile phones to aircraft.
The Make in India website says, "The Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Modi in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. Devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub, Make in India was a timely response to a critical situation: by 2013, the much-hyped emerging markets bubble had burst, and India’s growth rate had fallen to its lowest level in a decade. The promise of the BRICS nations had faded, and India was tagged as one of the so-called ‘Fragile Five’. Global investors debated whether the world’s largest democracy was a risk or an opportunity. India’s 1.2 billion citizens questioned whether India was too big to succeed or too big to fail. India was on the brink of severe economic failure."




Very ambitious plan indeed. India often claims that it does not want to be another China, which is known as low cost factory of the world. India does not want to produce cheap, low cost and low quality products under Make in India. It wants to be like Germany, France, United Kingdom, Japan and USA, the manufacturers of world class iconic products.
The Rs 251 phone which has taken the technology world by storm is not going to help the cause. While there are both fans and sceptics of the Freedom 251, the lingering question is how Ringing Bells will manage to sell a feature rich smartphone at such a low price.

Undeniably what makes a nation a true economic powerhouse in the long run is the quality of its manufacturing and service sectors. By producing cheap, low quality things in large scale no country can become a world class manufacturer overnight. These hotchpotch inventions can make some news, get some eyeballs and also generate some income and jobs for a while. In the long run, they ruin the image of a nation and its capability to produce the best in the world.
Cheap products may have put China on top of world economy in the last two decades. But, Chinese manufacturing sector does not have the credibility and consumer confidence, the products of Western nations or Japan have. Chinese economy is slowing down because of its cheap products.
India should follow the model of Western nations and Japan. Certainly not that of our immediate neighbour China. The populist launches like the Rs 251 mobile phone defeat the very purpose of a big initiative like Make in India.
