It is hard for working people to believe that they will not receive a call or a text from the office even on their holidays. No matter how much they try to keep their work at bay during vacations, they end up getting numerous work calls by the end of the day.&nbsp;

Breaking this age-old tradition of giving work calls to colleagues on a vacation, an Indian technology company has adopted a policy of imposing a fine of Rs1 lakh ($1,200) on employees who give a call to their colleagues on a holiday.&nbsp;

Fantasy sports platform, Dream11, introduced the "Dream11 Unplug" policy so that all its employees can rewind, rejuvenate and relax on their holidays.&nbsp;

With such a novel policy, employees won't remain engaged in chats, emails and other groups.

The company's co-founders Harsh Jain and Bhavit Seth, while talking to CNBC, said, “Once a year, for one week, you're kicked out of the (company) system … you don't have Slack, emails and calls.”&nbsp;

Speaking about the fine, Jain said, “Anyone who reaches out to another employee during “unplug” time has to pay a fine of about $1,200 (1 lakh approx)”. The founders added that this policy has successfully worked so far.

The company in a statement stated, “At Dream11, we actually log off the 'Dreamster' who is unplugged, off from every possible Stadium communication platform, be it slack, emails and even WhatsApp groups. We do this to ensure absolutely no one from the Dreamster’s work ecosystem can contact them while they are on their well-deserved break".

“We understand that spending quality time with loved ones or just relaxing altogether on a vacation, can immensely improve the overall mood, quality of life, productivity in general and more,” the company added.

Be ready to pay a hefty fine if you disturb your colleague on a holiday in this tech firm!

Be it on Earth or in space, hilarious moments can be created and shared anywhere. This holds true for a video recently shared on Twitter by a filmmaker, Todd Spence, where astronaut Scott Kelly, who was wearing a gorilla suit, chased colleague Tim Peake on the ISS.

To create the hilariously scary moment, astronaut Scott Kelly sneaked the suit into the ISS in 2016. It had reached the ISS through a resupply mission. &nbsp;

The 15-second clip, which has already got 3.7 million views, has re-emerged to remind of the amusing moment. &nbsp;

It shows Peake making all attempts to desperately float away from the primate. &nbsp;

It is special as it is an epic prank for being&nbsp;pulled off in space. In this rare moment, the researchers at the station got some time off too, all thanks to astronaut Scott Kelly. &nbsp;

The American engineer Kelly dressed up and hid in a soft-side storage container that crewmate Tim Peake was busy opening. &nbsp;

Shortly after, the Peake could be seen moving away in fear to Scott's amusement. &nbsp;

The prank was done by Scott to celebrate his year in space mission. &nbsp;

At the time, he tweeted, "Needed a little humor to lighten up a #YearInSpace. Go big, or go home. I think I'll do both&nbsp;#SpaceApe." &nbsp;
