Sanjay Dutt: I could deal with jail in 1993. I was 33 then. Don’t forget I am a 53-year-old man now!

The actor who had abstained from alcohol and drugs has been downing an entire bottle of vodka in one sitting in the last few days. He worries about how he will live without fans, pillows and mosquito repellents in jail.

Sanjay Dutt, who is about to be imprisoned for three and half years has been inconsolable especially around his twin kids, says, “How will I survive without fans, pillows and mosquito repellents? I had none of these when I was last jailed in 1993 but don’t forget I was 33 then. I am a 53-year-old man now.”

Fear of no cellphone: 9 out of 10 suffering from 'nomophobia'

Nine out of every 10 people aged under 30 admit to suffering the new age phenomenon of "nomophobia", the fear of having no mobile phone, a survey says. Telecom giant Cisco, in a survey conducted on 3800 people in Australia, found nine out of 10 in the group aged under 30 were addicted to their smartphones and became anxious when their phone went missing, the 'Courier Mail' reported. "It's happening subconsciously, and one out of five people are texting while they're driving," Cisco chief technology officer Kevin Bloch said yesterday. "It just speaks to these addictive, compulsive, behaviours that we're seeing." "For many under-30s, the smartphone has become an extension of themselves, from the moment they wake up until the second they fall asleep," said Bloch. "This love affair with the smartphone is both enabling and crippling at the same time," Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, official adviser to the Queensland Government on...

Peter Pan generation and you!

It’s called the generation that refuses to grow up—preferring to remain unmarried, childless, living with the parents, with a lifestyle of endless socialising. Are you part of the phenomenon? You’re 35 and living with your parents/in-laws, because: a. There’s someone to have a hot meal ready on the table when you get home from work, and monitor the maid when you leave in the mornings. b. There’s no way you can afford a house loan and still maintain your lifestyle of alternate nights out and yearly international holidays. c. Your parents are dependent on you to manage the expenses of the home and you come home to a comfortable, clean apartment with food in the refrigerator, which you haven’t had to worry about. It’s a mutually beneficial situation. You’re 32, have been married five years, but kids aren’t on the cards. a. Kids mean responsibility and you can’t stand the idea of 3 am feedings and your kids’ exams putt...

For first time, stem cells are produced from cloning technique

For the first time, scientists have created human embryos that are genetic copies of living people and used them to make stem cells — a feat that paves the way for treating a range of diseases with personalized body tissues but also ignites fears of human cloning. If replicated in other labs, the methods detailed Wednesday in the journal Cell would allow researchers to fashion human embryonic stem cells that are custom-made for patients with Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and other health problems. Theoretically capable of reproducing themselves indefinitely, these stem cells could be used to grow replacements for a wide variety of diseased cells — those of the blood, skin, heart, brain, muscles, nerves and more — that would not risk rejection by the patient's immune system. The report also raises the specter that, with a high-quality donor egg, a bit of skin, some careful tending in a lab and the womb of a willing surrogate, humans have cracked the biological secret to reprodu...
