am 29 years old. I have excessive hair growth on my chest and back. While I don’t want to get rid of completely, how do I manage it? With excessive hair growth on the chest and back, it can get quite messy after some point of time. Here are some tips to manage the dense growth: Ensure that, the growth at the back and chest are in the same proportion. For keeping some length on, the body hair trimmers are the best tools. They come with different adjustments for different lengths. Trim rather lightly and use a scissor for light-plucking. Also, while trimming, leave the area from below the chin till a little lower than the Adam’s apple. As for the back – you may want to take a friend’s help. Begin with trimming from the bottom of your back in straight smooth motions. Be careful, since the blades can scrape your flesh. Shaving is the most common method but you have to be very particular. A little negligence and you could end up with cuts and skin irritation. Also the subseque...

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said the State government was thinking of distributing 'iPad' to all households in the State at an estimated cost of Rs. 3,000 crore. Speaking on the second day of his two-day tour of the Anantapur district, he said the State government was in talks with telecom service providers such as Reliance, Airtel and BSNL to offer 4G services to those iPads so that the best of the technological advances could be known by the people, egging them on to further development. “Even students can reduce their load of books and switch over to the iPad,” said Mr. Naidu, even as he said the State government would make full use of modern technology to reach out and create an interface with the people. Earlier in the day, Mr. Naidu visited the famous Lakshmi Nrusimha Swamy temple in Kadiri town and prayed there before proceeding to a dargah close by. At a meeting with weavers and farmers at Mudigubba mandal hesdquarters, as part of the last leg...

KOCHI: I was a focused three-quarters of the way into the Combined Graduate Level Exam conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) on Sunday when I was distracted by this gem:  Q: Who among the following actresses is the tallest in height [sic]?  A: (a) Huma Qureshi (b) Katrina Kaif (c) Deepika Padukone (d) Preity Zinta  Well, I ruled out Preity right away but the remaining three posed a problem. Maybe the guys answering the test, with a keener eye for vital stats, had a better chance of answering the question but I, for one, was ruing the fact I didn't watch the bikini scenes — remember that paparazzi photo of Katrina and actor Ranbir Kapoor on a beach holiday — more closely. Bare feet, unlike stilettos, hardly lie.  Anyway, I finally ticked (c) Deepika Padukone as the tallest of the four ladies, though I did tiptoe for a moment thinking of Huma. The moment of truth, of course, came after the test. Dipika Padukone.  I love my Bol...

You go to great lengths to turn your dream of lustrous hair into reality. You take great pains to take care of your precious hair during the summers and the winters, but unfortunately, ignore them during the monsoon season. No wonder that your crowning glory looks messy and lifeless during these few months. So, here are some tips to ensure that this monsoon season your hair gets all the love it deserves.

The world has made progress in eradicating extreme poverty, butaround one in five people in developing regions still live on less than $1.25 per day, according to the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG) report 2014. Despite achieving the MDG goal of halving global poverty before the 2015 target, progress on poverty reduction has been uneven across geographies, the UN said.

Don't be shocked. The Delhi seductress isn't talking about tobacco. She is talking about the rising pollution levels in Mumbai. She was in fact reacting to an NGO's revelation that inhaling Mumbai air is equal to smoking 100 cigarettes a day. Responding on this uber fact, Taapsee showed her sense of humor, saying that she thought she is a non-smoker. She has actually worried about the polluted air she inhales everyday in Mumbai.

Hello Guntur People please share this and be aware of this banned medicines. Here’s a list of banned drugs and medicines in the US. These drugs are not banned just in the US, but also UK, European Union and Mexico. However, it is sad that these drugs and medicines are still prescribed in India, especially combination medicines. Spurious chemists in the US may still sell these drugs; so you have to watch out for them. Also in countries like India, there is a lack of accountability, even if the drugs are banned, the ban is hardly adhered to.

This way, doctors are forced to be in touch with the latest in the field. Now let us look at some of the drugs that are banned in the US: Cisapride: This medicine is used for gas trouble and nausea.
