Sharman’s 25-year ride started with Style, not sirens

Vijay’s Christmas cake comes with a side of sweat
Vijay Varma spent his Christmas in the gym, posting a workout video online.

Milind says cities are lazy, villages still move
Milind Soman just went off about city life and tech. He says all our gadgets are making urban people lazy and weak, both in body and mind. Soman, the actor from shows like Paurashpur, argued that rural areas are better off because they use technology less. He thinks over reliance on devices makes us forget how to use our own bodies and brains, leaving us worse overall. He pointed out the difference in daily movement. City folks do everything on a computer or phone, barely any physical work. Meanwhile, village life still involves cycling, walking, and manual labor. That activity, according to him, gives rural people a clearer idea of real fitness. The result for urban centers, he said, is a population that has largely become lazy...
