A period pain simulator was set up at the Lulu Mall in Kochi recently as part of a social experiment to create awareness among men about menstrual cramps. It was an initiative of local MP Hibi Eden's Cup of Life initiative and backed by the Kochi chapter of the Indian Medical Association.Videos of the #feelthepain experiment shared on social media showed clearly what women knew all along - that men have no idea what they undergo during that time of the month.
"Painful in a very irritating way, " said Eden, who himself took the test.

A video showed young men clutching their stomach and even gasping for breath as the threshold levels in the pain simulator were raised.The video told viewers that 9 out of 10 women experience period cramps, that the pain varies from person to person and even cycle to cycle, and that in very extreme cases, a person can pass out from the pain.
"I once read somewhere that in American Sign Language, the sign for having your period is basically punching yourself in the face… I was today years old when I found out what this joke meant," the user who posted the video on Instagram wrote."I will never be the same again," commented another user.

"I am so happy," taunted a woman user in a broad dig at typical male insensitivity on the subject. The pain is all psychological, okay?"

Synopsis

In the match, Rajasthan Royals led by Shane Warne was set a target of 195 by the Punjab team, but landed way short with Taylor himself caught leg before for a duck.

We recently heard about Ross Taylor's claims of racism in New Zealand cricket. Seems ther former Kiwi captain has lots more sensational stuff in his new book Ross Taylor: Black & White.

Taylor, PTI reports, has said he was "slapped" by one of the owners of Rajasthan Royals franchise after he was dismissed for a duck against Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2011.

In the match, Rajasthan Royals led by Shane Warne was set a target of 195 by the Punjab team, but landed way short with Taylor himself caught leg before for a duck.



Later, the team, support staff and management were in the bar on the top floor of the hotel. "One of the Royals owners said to me, 'Ross, we didn't pay you a million dollars to get a duck,' and slapped me across the face three or four times. He was laughing and they weren't hard slaps but I'm not sure that it was entirely play-acting," the agency quoted excerpts from the book.

"Under the circumstances I wasn't going to make an issue of it, but I couldn't imagine it happening in many professional sporting environments," Taylor wrote.He also said British actor Elizabeth Hurley was present there with Warne - they were partners at that time - when this happened."When you fetch that sort of money, you're desperately keen to prove that you're worth it. And those who are paying you that sort of money have high expectations – that's professional sport and human nature," he wrote.

The 38-year-old Taylor played for Royal Challengers Bangalore from 2008 to 2010 and was with RR in 2011. He was bought for a million dollars at the auction.

He also said in his book that in the long run he felt it would have had been better if RCB retained him of 950,000 dollars."I'd paid my dues at RCB: if I'd had a lean trot, the management would have had faith in me because of what I'd done in the past. When you go to a new team, you don't get that backing," he wrote.

Taylor's autobiography has been in the news already for its description of racist locker room "banter" and casually racist comments from some New Zealand team officials against the player of Samoan heritage.
