Ishant Sharma was the first Indian to take five wickets with the pink ball and now Virat Kohli has scored the first century from India in a pink ball Test. Yes, our skipper notched up his 27th Test ton on Day 2 vs Bangladesh at Eden Gardens.

Resuming overnight on 59 not out, Kohli just continued where he left off on Day 1. Ajinkya Rahane supported him till he fell for 51, but Kohli marched on. This is his 27th Test century.

Earlier Kohli became the first Indian skipper to score 5000 Test runs and the sixth overall. Not to mention the fact that he was the quickest to the milestone. He also has the most double centuries for India with 7 to his name. But what makes this hundred special is the fact that it came in the historic Day-Night Test at an iconic venue.

Kohli is the King of Eden and he is reigning supreme. When he reached his hundred the jubilation on his face and the reaction of the crowd said it all, it was a moment to cherish. He reached the landmark in 159 balls with 12 fours to his name.

India are already building a big lead after their pacers cut Bangladesh down to size for a mere total of 106. This hundred forms the base to go even further as we look to seal a 12th straight Test series win on home soil. Also this will be our 7th straight Test win, so another record looks set to be in the wings.

Kohli’s shot selection was so good over the course of his innings that on Day 1 one bowler even applauded the cover drive after he was hit for four. There was no change on Day 2 and Kohli kept at it and eventually reached a well-made hundred.

He loves to score big and consistently and the man seems to be making up after scoring a duck in the previous game. This is his way of balancing the scales as India look to complete a 2-0 whitewash. The fact that he is the captain puts more value in his contribution as the man is leading by example.

He is considered the best player across formats, the only one with a 50-plus average in all versions and also with no apparent weakness. Kohli is the ultimate nightmare for a bowler because one can rarely set a trap for him. So once he is on song, better pray he makes a mistake, for the fielding side more often than not throws in the towel.

When we think of supercomputers, we forget how crucial they are to help us live a better life with their gargantuan processing power.

Top500 is a global institution that keeps a track of such powerful supercomputers across the globe. Last year, it picked two supercomputers — Pratyush and Mihir (ranked at 45 and 73 respectively), however this year they’ve updated their list and looks like they’ve managed to retain their spot in the top 100.

Pratyush ranked at 53 whereas Mihir is now ranked at 100. While they’ve lost their positions from last year, considering tech across the globe is evolving at an exponential pace and better processing hardware comes out every year, they’re still some really fast machines.

Pratyush is installed at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology in Pune. The supercomputer is equipped with a 4.0 petaflop array of processors dedicated to weather and climate analysis. In case you didn’t know, a petaflop is a measure of a supercomputer’s processing speed, meaning it can perform one quadrillion floating-point operations per second or FLOPS. For Pratyush, multiply that measure by 4.0. In simpler terms, it’s blazing fast!

Mihir, on the other hand, is installed at the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting in Noida. It is capable of churning out 2.8 PetaFlops, which might seem like a little underpowered against Pratyush but is still a performer nonetheless.

Costing a massive Rs 450 crore, both these systems are based on the Cray XC40 supercomputer. They’re running on arrays of Intel Xeon processors and Nvidia’s Now you might be wondering what would a supercomputer really do that a normal computer cannot.

Essentially the massive processing power in these two systems allows for lots of data to be analysed simultaneously — whether it is related to rain patterns or earthquakes, air quality and other weather conditions — something that a standard computer would take months or years to figure out.

Pratyush and Mihir are essentially HPCs or High Performance Computing facilities which made India the fourth country in the world to have an HPC facility dedicated for weather and climate research after Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Bollywood movies usually depict real life situations. The cinema is like a mirror to the society, usually giving relevant messages. But there are some movies which are over the top, dreamy and spectacular on 70mm. While the arrival of OTT platforms is becoming popular medium but silver screen still holds a special place in our hearts and will continue to do so.

In recent times, some filmmakers with brilliant content have hardly left us disappointed. Their movies are so good, it wins your heart. And listening to fans, the makers decided to spun a sequel on Dostana and Aankhen.

Taking to Instagram, Kartik Aaryan, who is the lead actor in Dostana 2 alongside Janhvi Kapoor, posted a picture with Dharma head honcho Karan Johar.

1.Hum Tum

A 2004 movie about 2 people meet, fall in love, break up and then come together again. Lead roles played by Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji, the film was heartwarming, romantic and had portions of comedy.

The movie especially the songs was so relatable to the young generation that it ended up garnering five Filmfare awards. The duo came together in Thoda Pyaar, Thoda Magic, Tara Rum Pum and this. They have not come together in so long and everyone wants to know what transpired after their wedding. So a sequel definitely will work.

2.Andhadhun

A story of a blind piano player who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a murder. The movie features Ayushmann Khuranna and we know what’s that looking like in 2019. He is one of the finest actors of this era. And audience is seeking a sequel for this one as the ending of the movie was left open ended. Andhadhun leaves you to imagine what could have possibly happened. Fun fact: It was made on a budget of Rs 32 crore and ended up raking in Rs 456 crore.

3.No Entry

OMG! This is one movie we’re dying to have a sequel for. The movie is a hilarious roll coaster ride about three married friends – Sunny, Kishan and Prem who get stuck with Bobby (Bipasha Basu). Their wives constantly doubt their better halves and they get into trouble without really having done anything.

There were rumors during the making that the movie could be similar to Masti. However, the producer of the film Boney Kapoor stressed that he would never endorse innuendo-based films such as Masti. While Masti has had many versions so far, No Entry is yet to get a sequel. It’ll be interesting to see who will play Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan’s roles although we would like the original trio.

4.Queen

This 2014 movie was one which liberated many women. It shows Kangana Ranaut as an under confident Punjabi girl in a comic-drama when her wedding is called off. She then decides to embark on her honeymoon all by herself and shows the situations she gets into. Queen is a journey about a timid girl who in the end becomes happy, free and liberated and OWNS it. And people still want to know what really happened to Queen aka Kangana and does she end up getting married to someone at all.

A sequel will definitely help us get a closure.

5.Andaz Apna Apna

This Salman Khan-Aamir Khan starrer has become a cult status over the years. Infact, the language used in the film has become a part of our everyday conversations. “Do dost ek pyaale se chai piyenge, ussey pyaar badhta hai” is just one of our favourite dialogues from the film. It’s a dream we all secretly think of – to marry someone rich and nice, right? Andaz Apna Apna revolves around two day dreamers who ‘smartly’ fall in love with two rich girls from a business family. However, the twists and turns that come along with it are hilarious and unmissable. A lot of people want Salman-Aamir to come together to show lives after they get married to Raveena and Karisma Kapoor. Now, now, wouldn’t that be interesting?

6.Rockstar

This movie is a tribute to Jim Morrison. Ranbir Kapoor aka Jordan embarks on a musical journey as he aspires to be a rock star. He attains all the fandom he dreamt of but becomes anguished and distant after losing Heer aka Nargis Fakhri who he passionately loves.

The 2011 movie received a cult classic in India where AR Rahman was awarded for excellent music throughout the film and Kapoor for his impeccable acting. In the sequel, it’ll be interesting to see Jordan’s life post Heer and how he handles the stardom.

7.Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

It’s musical. It’s romantic. It’s dramatic. Helmed by Karan Johar, the movie is based on the concept of unrequited love. Apart from having a stellar starcast, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil had some picturesque locations as well.

The movie which revolved around how a man who gets friend zoned by the one he loves goes to a woman older than him seeking for the same affection. Failing to achieve that, Ranbir who pays the lead role tries getting back to his old love. However, he still gets the same response despite her ailing health.

The movie features Fawad Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai and a special appearance by Lisa Haydon and Alia Bhatt. Karan Johar is known for making larger than life cinema and this particular movie apparently depicts a portion of his real life.

The movie was the highest grossing film of 2016 and it would be interesting to see if Ranbir eventually does fall in love with someone, at all.
