The research was done by an Australian university, claims that the probability of oral cancer increases with longer usage of Listerine.

Winning 4 golden globe award, the movie got the attention from around the world. It's simplicity and fast pacing screenplay attributed to its success.Based on the novel 'Q & A' by Vikas Swarup.

Probably, government should think about privatization of the power distributed similar to the DISCOMs in Delhi, which is quite successful in revenue generation, reduced power tariff and also reduced power theft.
