It seems like 2019 all over again as the popular game PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds or PUBG is under scrutiny yet again. According to a report, the Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has sent a communication to Chandigarh based lawyer advocate HC Arora, who had approached the Punjab and Haryana seeking a ban on the battle royale game in the city. The high court had asked the Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology last month to make a decision on representation seeking the imposition of ban on PUBG, which apparently teaches only violence to children. According to VK Trivedi, Director, cyber laws and security at the Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, "The high court's direction to consider and make a decision representation for banning "PUBG" is under examination by the ministry.” Advocate HC Arora says that the game is making children addicted to violence, hence affecting their mental and physic

Franklin Templeton Asset Management (India) Pvt. marked down its debt exposure to Vodafone Group Plc’s India venture to zero, concerned by the operator having to pay $4 billion in back-fees as early as next week. The carrier’s shares suffered a record plunge. The payment deadline has led to “significant uncertainty with respect to our exposure” to the carrier, the fund house said in a statement on Friday. Shares of Vodafone Idea tumbled as much as 39%, reflecting concerns over the future of the beleaguered company. Local wireless operators including Vodafone Idea Ltd. and Bharti Airtel Ltd. suffered a blow Thursday, when the Supreme Court rejected their appeal against an October  verdict  requiring them to pay as much as $13 billion for spectrum and license fees. The companies were counting on some relief, such as a reversal of the earlier order, reduced liabilities or staggered payment. The court’s rebuff adds to the woes of India’s debt funds hit by a lingering shadow ban

Winter is upon us and so is the risk of vitamin D deficiency and infections. Vitamin D, which is made in our skin following sunlight exposure and also found in  oily fish (mackerel, tuna and sardines), mushrooms and fortified dairy and nondairy substitutes , is essential for good health. Humans need vitamin D to  keep healthy and to fight infections . The irony is that in winter, when people need vitamin D the most, most of us are not getting enough. So how much should we take? Should we take supplements? How do we get more? And, who needs it most? I am a medical microbiologist and immunologist  who studies the functions of vitamin D in immune cells. My laboratory has been interested in figuring out why the immune system has vitamin D receptors that determine which cells can use vitamin D. In the immune system, vitamin D acts to improve your ability to  fight infections  and to  reduce inflammation . Where to get your vitamin D Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin since

Iron Man's world and place in the Marvel Universe is changing, now that Tony Stark has admitted he died long ago, and remains only as a non-human simulation.  Tony's long lost brother Arno Stark  has been preparing to claim his destiny as  Iron Man 2020 . But now that his true mission has been revealed, fans will need to rethink much of what has been taken for granted. The time has come, not only for Arno to claim his destiny, but for machinekind to unite and demand equal rights!

Marvel's new line of  The End  comic one-shots  explores the 'final story' of various number superheroes -- imagining what it would be like if characters could actually have ends, deaths, and closing arcs (instead of essentially never dying, with only temporary changes to their status quo). And in  Miles Morales: The End , fans get to witness the death of  Spider-Man  himself, Miles Morales. At present in the Marvel Universe, Morales is still fighting crime as one of the younger and newer heroes. Having just welcomed  his baby sister, Billie Morales  to Marvel Comics, and set to take on a major role in  the new  Champions  series , seeing the end of the once-Ultimate Spider-Man is a heartbreaking shock. After protecting the people of Brooklyn as their mayor and protector for years, Miles gives it his all in one last battle to protect what's left of mankind. Now an old man, Miles lives in a world where most of the population has been ravaged due to the emergenc

Arvind Gupta, 65, is the man who first broke the scam involving  ICICI Bank’s  former CEO Chanda Kochhar, her husband Deepak Kochhar and Videocon Group’s Venugopal Dhoot with his letter to the Prime Minister's Office in 2016. Gupta, who has a PhD in economics and is a consultant by profession, has been fighting several such cases for the last 40 years. On January 13, after a long legal battle and a series of probes, the Enforcement Directorate attached Rs 78.15 crore worth of properties belonging to Kochhars in connection with the case. Q) Year 2016 was when you first flagged the case. After four years, the investigations are now reaching their logical conclusion. How does it feel? A)  When you come across an important issue, you must raise it. At this stage (of the ICICI case), I feel redeemed, satisfied and can say that yes, all is not lost. My mission is to fight the injustice done to small investors by corporations. Q)   Was there any point you or family were approa
