Man, 93, becomes oldest Indian to beat coronavirus

93-year-old Indian man has become the country's oldest patient to survive the coronavirus infection, doctors say.

The man and his 88-year-old wife both recovered after testing positive about a month ago, and will be discharged in a few days, hospital officials said.

The couple lives in the the southern state of Kerala, and were infected by their daughter and son-in-law, who returned from Italy. 

India has reported 1,238 active cases of Covid-19 as of Wednesday.

Thirty-five people have died of the infection, while 123 have recovered, according to the health ministry.

The elderly couple's recovery has made headlines across the country, and has been hailed by medical professionals since both also suffered from age-related problems. The man also had hypertension and diabetes - underlying conditions which have proved to be fatal in so many cases across the world. 

The man's condition, doctors told the BBC deteriorated briefly and he had to be put on a ventilator for 24 hours, before staging a remarkable recovery.

Friendship Day 2015: Best Friendship Quotes

The international day of celebrating the people in your life who keep you sane when everything around you becomes crazy, is upon us. Celebrated on the first Sunday of August, Friendship Day 2015 falls on 2 August.

Let's take a look at some of the best quotes on friendship as seen and heard in popular movies:

Fried Green Tomatoes: "I found out what the secret to life is--friends. Best friends."

It's a Wonderful Life: "Remember George, no man is a failure who has friends."

Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants: "You know what the secret is? It's so simple. We love one another. We're nice to one another."

Sex and the City: "Maybe we could be each other's soul mates. Then we could let men be just these great, nice guys to have fun with"

Beaches: "What will I do without a best friend?"

Stand By Me: "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?"

And here are some friendship quotes our favourite celebrities said:

"What's helped me is having really good friends I know I can rely on. Cameron Diaz is one of the greatest friends anyone can ever have. She has so much love to give" – Drew Barrymore.

"We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends – your own chosen family. There's nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing" – Jennifer Aniston.

"Lots of people want to ride with you on the limo, but what you want is someone who will ride the bus with you when the limo breaks down" – Oprah Winfrey.

"My two best girlfriends are from secondary school. I don't have to explain anything to them. I don't have to apologise for anything." – Emma Watson.

Hear Drake Demolish Meek Mill on 'Back to Back' Freestyle

Drake has fired another salvo in his feud with Meek Mill after that rapper called Drake's "Charged Up" diss track "baby lotion soft." Three days later, Drake has responded again with "Back to Back Freestyle," and there's nothing soft or vague about this diss track as the Toronto rapper lays into Meek Mill.

The cruelest barbs in "Back to Back Freestyle" come when Drake attempts to emasculate Meek Mill for serving as opening act for his girlfriend Nicki Minaj's Pinkprint Tour. "You love her then you gotta give the world to her / Is that a world tour or your girl's tour?/ I know that you gotta be a thug for her / This ain’t what she meant when she told you to open up more," Drake says. (Incidentally, Meek Mill showed up 90 minutes late and was promptly booed when the Pinkprint Tour hit Drake's native Toronto Tuesday night.)

Drake then takes aim at Meek Mill's decision to beef through social media. "Trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers," Drake raps. "You're getting bodied by a singing nigga." Drake then warns all his "boss bitches" – but likely Minaj especially – "make sure you hit him with a pre-nup."

The feud between Drake and Meek Mill stems from Mill's accusations that Drake employed a ghostwriter for his guest verse on "R.I.C.O.," a track off Meek Mill's new album Dreams Worth More Than Money. An Atlanta rapper named Quentin Miller was then identified as Drake's ghostwriter, though Miller and Drake's producer Noah "40" Shebib denied the ghostwriting allegations.

"When I look back, I might be mad that I gave this attention / But it's weighing heavy on my conscience / And fuck, you left me with no options," Drake says on the new track. "I'm not sure what it was that made y'all mad / But I guess this is what I gotta do to make y'all rap."

Meek Mill previously shared his own Drake "diss track" titled "Beautiful Nightmare" which just featured 15 seconds of moaning.

Yakub Memon, Convicted for 1993 Blasts in Mumbai, Hanged in Nagpur

 Yakub Memon, convicted as "a driving spirit" for the 1993 blasts in Mumbai, was hanged a little before 7 am at Nagpur Central Prison. At 5 am, the Supreme Court had rejected his last-minute petition to stop his hanging after an unprecedented middle-of-the-night hearing.
Here are the 10 latest developments:

1.     Memon's body was handed over to his family in Nagpur from where it was flown to Mumbai.
2.     President Pranab Mukherjee rejected Yakub Memon's mercy petition sent to him on Wednesday.
3.     Activists and Memon's lawyers told the Supreme Court in a late-night appeal that after a mercy plea is rejected, the death row prisoner can't be hanged for 14 days, according to rules.
4.     However, the three Supreme Court judges who heard the case accepted the government's argument that Memon had "ample opportunity" to challenge his sentencing.
5.     The court accepted the government's argument that a mercy plea filed on Memon's behalf by his brother, which was rejected by the President last year, could not be overlooked.
6.     The Supreme Court on Wednesday had refused to stop Memon's hanging, rejecting his claim that the top court had not followed correct processes in upholding his death sentence earlier this week.
7.     The same three judges who ruled against him during the day heard the emergency petition in the middle of the night.
8.     Memon was convicted for helping finance the serial blasts in Mumbai in 1993 in which 257 people were killed. His brother, Tiger, and Dawood Ibrahim, who masterminded the blasts, remain missing. (Memon Case: From Conviction to Hanging)
9.     Those who support Memon's claim say that he provided crucial information to investigators in fixing accountability for the blasts. Two of his brothers have been given the life sentence.
10.     Memon left the country just before the blasts. He returned a year later amid conflicting reports on whether he had been arrested or had surrendered. Investigators deny he was offered a secret plea bargain.

Motorola Moto G (3rd gen) is finally launched

The Motorola Moto G (3rd gen) is finally official, putting an end to the endless rumor marathon. We already knew what to expect, but a very important detail eluded us, but it is now set in stone.

So fret not, the Motorola Moto G (3rd gen) does have 2GB of RAM, only not all versions of the smartphone. There are two options you can choose from and the 2GB of RAM come coupled with 16GB of storage, while a more modestly equipped 1GB/8GB variant is also available. A microSD slot allows expansion by up to 32GB in either model.


A 5-inch 720p display adorns the front of the smartphone, and it’s protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The Snapdragon 410 provides computing power with a 1.4GHz quad-core processor and Adreno 306 GPU inside. You get LTE support, as well as the obligatory Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. The smartphone boots the latest Android 5.1.1 too, so no surprises here either.

The primary camera is a 13MP unit, aided by a dual-LED dual-tone flash. On the front, there’s a 5MP selfie shooter.

The Motorola Moto G (3rd gen) measures 142.1 x 72.4 x 11.6mm, though the thickness does go down to 6.1mm towards the edges. It weighs 155g, and Motorola have upped battery capacity to 2,470mAh, compared to the 2,070mAh of the predecessor.

Perhaps what’s most important in terms of hardware, is the IPx7 certification, which makes the handset capable of surviving after being submerged in up to 1m of water for up to 30 minutes.


The Motorola Moto G (3rd gen) is available starting today, though obviously not every retailer has been quick enough to react. So far we have a UK price of £160 for the 1GB/8GB version, and in India the lower-specced model retails for INR 11,999 (~$187), while the 16GB version is INR 12,999 (~$203).
