Going back to the photogrph, the posture of Dr. Kalam looks a bit odd and unnatural. May be it was the warning signal of the impending calamity and everybody managed to ignore it. :(

Losing the hair is pardonable... so long as

they don'y lose their heads in the clouds!!! :)

[h=3]Why are men, in their early 30s, losing hair?[/h]Written by Anuradha Mascarenhas | Published:August 1, 2015 12:00 am Doctors say that the major reasons for hair loss are iron deficiency, lack of sunlight (vitamin D-3), stress, irregular diets, hormonal changes and related diseases like thyroid and diabetes. The number of patients with hair loss has increased over the years and out of 10 new patients at least eight are men. What is disturbing is that a sizeable number of them are in their 20s and 30s seeking hair restoration surgery, says the president of the Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons of India. Telogen Effluvium – a typical hair loss condition among youngsters is characterised by diffused hair shedding.

 [h=3]Coming: A new ‘winter-proof’ LoC fence with sensors and night-vision cameras[/h] Written by Sushant Singh | New Delhi | Published:August 1, 2015 3:20 am The three designs were tested by constructing one-km long sample fences in Kupwara sector. The Army has finalised plans to construct a new type of fence on the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, which will not collapse due to heavy snowfall every winter. Nearly 350 km of the 400 km-long fence in the Kashmir region gets damaged every winter and has to be fixed in the summer. This, officials say, makes it easier for terrorists from Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir to infiltrate from across the LoC.
