How Pocket Has Become a Boon for Mankind

I know very well that there would have been a lot written and discussed on the topic which I am writing today. It, however, does not matter to me as I am going to express my views and opinions on the topic.  Recently, while I was moping the floor I was like where should I keep my mobile as I could not carry it in my hand while sponging. Thankfully, the pocket in my lower came to my rescue and I tucked it in my pocket and completed the daily chores.  I realized that day how pocket has eased the lifestyle of people and a single pocket can store so many important things for you. Pocket has so many advantages. Some of them are you do not have to think about carrying extra baggage for storing minor things and your hands are completely free for doing what you want. Normally, we see that pocket does not have many disadvantages but one of the disadvantages of pockets can be people store all the waste materials in it if they do not have a dustbin.

Should Bollywood Opt For International Shooting Post Lockdown?

All the industries including Bollywood have received a setback due to lockdown in its work. Many films are being either postponed, shelved or released on OTT. It has been recently telecasted that Akshay Kumar has shot with R.Balki for an ad campaign in Kamalistan Studios after proper permission.  Nobody knows how long the lockdown will continue and whether post lockdown the big-budget films will be made or not as everybody is having financial strain and the industry might have to opt for small budget movies within the country until things get back to complete normalcy.  International Shooting according to me should not be an option for Bollywood at least for few more months as there would be danger of catching the disease and nobody knows whether a  country would be completely free from the disease or not. Lockdown has left many people unemployed and our stars are also going through the same phase.  It is now time for the whole industry to come together and cut their...
