JUDWAA 2 deals with the fun adventures of twin brothers separated at birth. Rajiv Malhotra (Sachin Khedekar) meets the evil Charles (Zakir Hussain) in the flight and helps the authorities in getting him arrested. At the same time, Rajiv’s wife Ankita (Prachee Shah Paandya) gives birth to twins. Charles gets arrested in the hospital where Ankita had her delivery and he runs away with one of the twins. Rajiv and Ankita presume that child to be dead due to certain circum- stances and they move to London with their other son. This son, Prem (Varun Dhawan), grows up as a shy and docile per- son who can be easily bullied. His brother Raja (Varun Dhawan) grows up in Mumbai’s Versova and is the opposite of Prem – he is outgoing, brash and bullying him is next to impossible. However, Raja falls in trouble when he fights with Alex (Vivan Bhatena) and injures him badly. Alex is inciden- tally the son of Charles and is also quite villainous. Raja and his sidekick Nandu (Rajpal Yadav) escape to London as a result. In the flight, he meets Alishka (Jacqueline Fernandez) and both fall for each other. Prem on the other hand starts dating Samaira (Taapsee Pannu) who learns music from him. But strange things start happening to both Prem and Raja as soon as the latter lands in London. The twins suffer from a peculiar problem – if one feels pain, the other shall also expe- rience the same feeling and both even replicate each other’s actions, depending on distance. Both go through a series of hilarious incidents as a result. What happens next and how the madness unfolds is what the rest of the film is all about. JUDWAA 2 is a reboot of the original JUDWAA and those who have seen the original would know what to expect. However, the makers have tweaked certain portions and moreover, setting up the story in London has given the film a fresh and grand touch. The initial portions involving the twins getting separated and how Raja gets saved from the oncoming train is well executed. The entry of Raja is whistle worthy and his antics add to the fun. The entry of Samaira and Alishka also take the film to a new level. However, the film gets a bit sexist and some of the scenes like the butt slapping sequences and Prem forcefully kissing Samaira might be seen as crass by a certain section of audiences. Also, Prem even smooching his to be mother in law (Upasna Singh) comes across as a funny sequence but again, it will evoked mixed and even extreme reactions. On the positive side – the film has some hilarious scenes as well that bring the house down. The sequence with Pappu Passport (Johnny Lever), Raja creating a scene at the London airport, Prem’s various meetings with Dr Lulla (Ali Asgar), the bathtub sequence etc., are very funny. Raja using his modus operandi of narrating a sad story followed by his phone ringing is devoid of logic but makes for a fun watch despite getting repetitive. But there are also few scenes that don’t work. Post-interval, it becomes tedious to see Prem and Raja being held up as a result of mistaken identity. But thank- fully, the climax is where the film picks up. The film’s story is a no-brainer but works for the intended audience. Yunus Sajawal’s screenplay is effective and enter- taining. But it could have been better and a lot more imagina- tive in certain places, especially in the second half. Farhad- Sajid’s dialogues are one of the highpoints. The duo is known for playing with words very well and has taken several films to great heights. JUDWAA 2 is no exception. David Dhawan’s direction is simple and uncomplicated despite handling a plot related to mistaken identities. However, at some places, he lets the somewhat flawed script take over and doesn’t do much with his direction to salvage the situation. Also, the original JUDWAA was much better and at places, even slightly more logical. But JUDWAA 2 is an all-out illogical fare and at places, it falters. Moreover, there are too many characters and it’s bewildering to see the way he has handled the characters of Charles and Inspector Dhillon (Pavan Raj Malhotra) towards the end. Varun Dhawan as expected delivers a terrific performance. The actor is in top form and the manner in which he ups the entertainment quotient with his quirks and dance moves is seen to be believed. He reminds one of Salman Khan and Govinda of the 90s and the frenzy they created. In today’s times, Varun Dhawan is the only actor who’s doing such roles on screen and that’s a very big plus for him and for the film as well. Jacqueline Fernandez looks extremely gorgeous and per- formance-wise, she is fine. Taapsee Pannu however looks a bit out of place. She is not that glamorous and moreover, she seems to be in the PINK mode, talking like her character from that film. Vivan Bhatena looks dashing and does well in a sup- porting role. Sachin Khedekar and Prachee Shah Paandya are decent. Rajpal Yadav is hilarious and brings the house down in certain scenes. Upasna Singh goes overboard. Ali Asgar also is a bit over the top but it works for his character. Pavan Raj Malhotra has an interesting character but is not utilized well after a point. Anupam Kher is first-rate but Atul Parchure is strictly okay. Manoj Pahwa (Sharafat Ali) fails to raise laughs but Johny Lever is very funny. Rajat Rawail and Farhad (jew- ellery shop salesman) are okay while Vikas Verma (Rocky) gets no scope. Salman Khan is cool in his cameo. Though the writer should have tried being a little more imaginative for his cameo scene. The music of the film is good but not great. The songs from original JUDWAA are the ones that work well - ‘Chalti Hai Kya’ and ‘Oonchi Hai Building’. From the new songs, ‘Suno Ganpati Bappa Morya’ works to an extent while ‘Aa To Sahii’ is forgettable. Sandeep Shirodkar’s background score howev- er is very entertaining. The cunning tune used in the scenes of Charles will keep circling in one’s mind for some time for sure. On the whole, JUDWAA 2, despite all the goofs, flaws and clichés, comes across as a decent paisa-vasool entertainer. At the box office, it has the potential to keep the cinegoers happy as it is quite massy and audiences have been deprived of qual- ity content since a long time. Courtesy : http://www.bollywoodhungama.com OLD AGE : Dental perspective Dr Naresh Trehan Cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes heart attack and stroke, is the world's number one killer, causing 17.5 million deaths each year, with the figure expected to rise to 23 million by 2030. The good news is that many cases of CVD can be prevented with some lifestyle changes. About Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the leading cause of death and disability in the world today: over 17.5 million people die from cardiovascular disease every year. Any disease of the heart, vascular disease of the brain, or disease of the blood vessel constitutes a car- diovascular disease. The most prevalent cardiovascular diseases include coronary heart disease (e.g. heart attack) and cerebrovascular disease (e.g. stroke). Controlling key risk factors such as diet, physical activ- ity, tobacco use, and blood pressure may reduce your risk for CVD. The rise in heart diseases have been attributed to an array of factors such as ageing, genetics, gender, dis- eases such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and stress pertaining to changing lifestyles, and rapidly evolving socio-economic determinants like access to health care. Reportedly, the cases of heart disease in India in 2016 was predicted to be three times the number reported in 2000 with an estimated 2.7 crore young Indians losing their lives to coronary heart diseases. Get to know your heart: Book a visit to your doctor to know how healthy your heart is and any lifestyle changes that you need to make. It's a good idea to find out your blood pressure, which is the number one risk factor for CVD and known as the "silent killer" because it usually has no warning signs or symptoms, and many are unaware that they have it. Also have your blood glucose levels checked as high blood glucose could indicate diabetes, which if left undiagnosed and untreated can also put you at a higher risk of CVD and stroke. Also, check your cholesterol lev- els, weight, and body mass index (BMI) to help ensure your heart is healthy. Eat heart-healthy food Aim to include five portions of fruit and vegetables in your daily diet, with each portion equivalent to around a handful of fresh, frozen, canned, or dried fruit and vegetables. Avoid processed and pre-packaged foods which are often high in fat, sugar, and salt, and try to make your own healthy meals for lunch at school or work. Cut down on sugary fruit juices and drink water instead, and keep your alcohol intake within recom- mended guidelines. Kick the habit Stopping smoking is the single best thing anyone can do to improve their heart health. Within two years of quitting the risk of CVD is significantly reduced, and within 15 years it returns to that of a non-smoker. Exposure to secondhand smoke also increases the risk of heart disease in those around you, so by quitting you'll also help improve the health of friends and fami- ly. If you're struggling to kick the habit don't suffer in silence, seek out the support of those around you and help from a medical professional. Move more Physical inactivity is another contributor to CVD, as it can lead to unhealthy weight gain, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Aiming for at least 30 minutes of mod- erate-intensity activity five times a week can help cut this risk, with brisk walking, jogging, swimming and cycling being good options. Making everyday changes such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator and walking instead of driving are also easy ways to get more active. Dr. Reecha Gupta, Dr. Siddhant Time is in universe: It is in Man. Because we are borne we live, we grow, and we age, finally fulfilling greatest truth of life. We die. As we are basically a part of all life, we are amenable to all natural laws. 1st October…. celebrated as International Day for Elderly People each year. This was first established on 14 th December in year 1990 by the United Nation General Assembly. Age changes form an unbroken continuity. Aging is a normal, genetically dictated physiological process. It leads to gradual impairment in performance of various systems, hence of the individual as a whole. Based on the chronological age, the cohort of people 65 years of age or older are considered as elderly. 3 groups of older people have been identified:- * Young old (65-74 years) * Old-old (75-84 years) * Oldest old (>85 years) Elders above 65 years (old age) have health problems as a result of aging process, which calls for special considera- tion. One or the other problems may be common but impair- ments are not life threatening, they affect a person's quality- of-life. Thus, planning treatment for the senior dental patient includes an understanding of the chronic diseases the patient lives with daily, as this play a critical role in the acceptance and success of the dental treatment plans l Dental status is considered to be an important contribut- ing factor to health and adequate nutrition in elderly. Disorders of the oral cavity, lose painful teeth, missing denti- tion and ill-fitting dentures cause difficulty in chewing and perception of taste of foods or even reduce desire to eat. Although chewing efficiency and nutritional status improve when inadequate dentition or edentulousness is corrected with partial or complete dentures. The dentists are hence in an ideal position to contribute to the well-being of the elderly. The attitude should be Graceful acceptance of age changes... Need for preventive services Presence of root caries, periodontal disease and xerosto- mia are oral diseases that are found majorly affecting the older population. Despite these conditions affecting the eld- erly being treatable or preventable, many of the elderly do not avail the needed treatment because, most of the current older than 60 were not introduced to the concept of preven- tive dentistry at a young age. Many still hold the opinion that tooth loss is a normal part of the aging process. Mechanical plaque removal The preferred method of brushing for most elders is sul- cular brushing with soft toothbrush (Bass method). These may include the use of an extra soft toothbrush, use of light pressure, modification of the brushing method and effective rinsing. Older people often face difficulty in mechanical removal of plaque because of reduced manual dexterity or impaired vision. Use of rotary electric toothbrushes, or manual brushes that have been adapted or customized for each person can be of help. Rinses A therapeutic rinse contains an agent that is beneficial to the tooth surface or oral environment. Therapeutic rinses may contain chlorhexidine, sodium benzoate, sanguinaria, a fluoride, or other remineralizing agents, which halts oral disease and should be recommended to the elderly when appropriate. Chlorhexidine rinse has numerous applications for treat- ment of elderly. Fluoridated rinses have also known to pre- vent the development of caries, so they should also be pre- scribed to the elderly. Saline rinses are very effective. Denture care Many edentulous elderly believe erroneously that once all their teeth have been extracted they no longer need to be concerned about oral health. The elderly who wear dentures should be taught proper home care of both dentures and tis- sues on which they rest as well as the need for continued professional care. The cleaning and massaging of the tissues under a denture at least once a day increases circulation and thus enhances the health of these tissues. An average life span of a denture is 5 years. Counseling and education Preventive dentistry counseling for the geriatric patient includes two components: education and motivation. Tell-show-do procedure can be followed effectively: * Tell or explain the procedure * Show or demonstrate the procedure * Finally, the learner can do or practice the technique until he has mastered the skills. Know your Dentures more ? * Dentures are removable prosthesis. Dentures are not embedded in bone like natural teeth, they are placed over the ridge. * 'Dentures are life lasting' is not true. In spite of their durability, denture can lose their natural appearance and chewing ability * Lower denture retention is compromised compared to maxillary denture because the the surface area of the lower jaw bone is less as compared to the upper jaw * While drinking water, denture may or may not dis- place in mouth. * There is increased salivation during initial period of wearing of denture and this decreases with time. * The patient has to learn to chew with new dentures, should chew with up and down motion and minimum side- ways motion. * Denture should not be worn at night. This gives ade- quate rest to the denture bearing mucosa * Patients who wear dentures should be checked annu- ally by the prosthodontist or dental professional for main- tenance of optimum denture fit and function, for evaluation for oral lesions and bone loss, and for assessment of oral health status.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 01, 2017 (PAGE 4) HEALTHLINES MOVIE-REVIEW SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY International Day for Elderly People MANAGING HEART HEALTH JUDWAA 2 is a reboot of the original JUDWAA and those who have seen the original would know what to expect. However, the makers have tweaked certain portions and moreover, setting up the story in London has given the film a fresh and grand touch. A decent paisa-vasool entertainer Sunny Arora Traditional media has shifted to digital media. Digital media products have populated the world we live in today. Nowadays, everything is digitalised. Technology has not only made people smarter and more developed, but also changed the old times' consump- tion pattern of the market. As time passes, the internet continues to grow day by day, making it a better and secure platform for marketing. Traditional media is limited up to some points, and the user is turning blind because of that. That's why they are shifting more towards the internet. All humans are creative beings, creative by nature, cre- ative by souls. And the brand that integrates such a plat- form for these creative zom- bies becomes the next big thing in the Indian market. Some key factors are: * Speed and first content creation Every content portal's sole purpose is to become the 'crusader' in the field of viral- ity, which depends majorly on the speed, the rate of first content creation. While the whole point is of being origi- nal and fastest in creation, you not only have to be alert and updated but also have to maintain a variation as well, which ultimately leads to virality. Content is like the food and readers like the hungry customers, the dish you serve first has the maximum taste of consumption. In the generation of bullet trains, no one wants to ride on the bullock cart. Speed is what makes content industry different from any other form of media portals. * Shareability Virality is never by chance or a matter of coincidence. It is pure science that gets derived from the parameters of timing and other relevant parameters like its originality, targeted audience, targeted region, and emotional factor. Apart from these, shareability plays a significant role in the content industry. You can like, read, share, and comment on a story of your choice. Only viral content portals give you the freedom to explore, to share. It gives more strength to the users and also increases the connectivity which booms the market. Also, SEO being the only way to get live views on a story, mastery and combination of all these points create a post that is read by billions. You can't use the newspaper to express your feelings, can you? But you can share the stories of your choice on a web portal. One-way communication lacks the importance of customer satisfaction. Two-way builds trust. * Easy Accessibility Readers from anywhere can access the information any time, irrespective of the language they speak or under- stand. Also, the shareability factor helps the content reach a maximum percentage of the audience within minimal time. The biggest advantage it gives to the suppliers as well as the consumers of the information is that it automatical- ly reaches the public without major efforts. In old times, people were directly dependent on the newspapers and radio broadcasting for any type of infor- mation. With time, electronic media took over but still it has many barriers when it comes to consumption of infor- mation. Content portals are readily available, and one can con- sume information from it any time, at any place. Quickly accessible, easy to use along with a huge variety, what else do you need? Ah! A soft drink and popcorn for a better reading. * Providing a platfrom Content portals play a significant role in the digital media world. They provide a unique platform to every sin- gle user. Even ordinary people of the country can raise their problems by using content portals as a medium. They can put up their life stories which make them 'famous ordinary people.' In the early days, connectivity and communication were limited to some points. People used to pass a book from one hand to another by writing in each other's notebooks. After all, it was the best way to communicate at that point in time. One didn't have any single platform to express, explore, but nowadays web portals are becoming easier, better and a more entertaining way of communication, which one prefers over any other medium. The internet expands the horizons of every utterance or expressive act to a significant level. The definition of glob- al and local has changed after the storm of 'web' in every house. Even the chaiwallas and sabziwalis are getting famous nowadays, which shows the enormous power of web portals, and also marks the presence of an ordinary man at a global level with the global faces. * Readability and understanding A large number of content portals also help users find the one with the easiest logical representation that can save their time, assuring that understandability does not become a barrier to accessibility and usability. It provides information in every possible way, including videos, to increase the degree of understandability. Plus there are inter-linkings available on every page to make the terms used in the content clearer, ie clicking on the inter- linked part will take you to another page providing you with more information for the same. You type a word and you will get an answer. You type two words and you will get options. You type three words and you will get all the relat- ed stuff. Next big thing in India VIR@L CONTENT PORT@LS

OLD AGE : Dental perspective

Dr Naresh Trehan

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), whichincludes heart attack and stroke, is theworld's number one killer, causing 17.5million deaths each year, with the figureexpected to rise to 23 million by 2030. Thegood news is that many cases of CVD canbe prevented with some lifestyle changes.

About Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be theleading cause of death and disability in the world today:over 17.5 million people die from cardiovascular diseaseevery year.

Any disease of the heart, vascular disease of thebrain, or disease of the blood vessel constitutes a car-diovascular disease. The most prevalent cardiovasculardiseases include coronary heart disease (e.g. heartattack) and cerebrovascular disease (e.g. stroke).Controlling key risk factors such as diet, physical activ-ity, tobacco use, and blood pressure may reduce yourrisk for CVD.

The rise in heart diseases have been attributed to anarray of factors such as ageing, genetics, gender, dis-eases such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesteroland stress pertaining to changing lifestyles, and rapidlyevolving socio-economic determinants like access tohealth care.

Reportedly, the cases of heart disease in India in2016 was predicted to be three times the numberreported in 2000 with an estimated 2.7 crore youngIndians losing their lives to coronary heart diseases.

Get to know your heart:Book a visit to your doctor to know how healthy your

heart is and any lifestyle changes that you need tomake. It's a good idea to find out your blood pressure,which is the number one risk factor for CVD and known

as the "silent killer" because it usually has no warningsigns or symptoms, and many are unaware that theyhave it. Also have your blood glucose levels checked ashigh blood glucose could indicate diabetes, which if leftundiagnosed and untreated can also put you at a higherrisk of CVD and stroke. Also, check your cholesterol lev-els, weight, and body mass index (BMI) to help ensureyour heart is healthy.

Eat heart-healthy foodAim to include five portions of fruit and vegetables in

your daily diet, with each portion equivalent to arounda handful of fresh, frozen, canned, or dried fruit andvegetables. Avoid processed and pre-packaged foodswhich are often high in fat, sugar, and salt, and try tomake your own healthy meals for lunch at school orwork. Cut down on sugary fruit juices and drink waterinstead, and keep your alcohol intake within recom-mended guidelines.

Kick the habitStopping smoking is the single best thing anyone can

do to improve their heart health. Within two years ofquitting the risk of CVD is significantly reduced, andwithin 15 years it returns to that of a non-smoker.Exposure to secondhand smoke also increases the riskof heart disease in those around you, so by quittingyou'll also help improve the health of friends and fami-ly. If you're struggling to kick the habit don't suffer insilence, seek out the support of those around you andhelp from a medical professional.

Move morePhysical inactivity is another contributor to CVD, as

it can lead to unhealthy weight gain, diabetes, and highblood pressure. Aiming for at least 30 minutes of mod-erate-intensity activity five times a week can help cutthis risk, with brisk walking, jogging, swimming andcycling being good options. Making everyday changessuch as taking the stairs instead of the elevator andwalking instead of driving are also easy ways to getmore active.

Time is in universe: It is in Man. Because we areborne we live, we grow, and we age, finally fulfilling greatesttruth of life. We die.

As we are basically a part of all life, we are amenable toall natural laws.

1st October…. celebrated as International Day for ElderlyPeople each year. This was first established on 14 thDecember in year 1990 by the United Nation GeneralAssembly.

Age changes form an unbroken continuity. Aging is anormal, genetically dictated physiological process. It leadsto gradual impairment in performance of various systems,hence of the individual as a whole.

Based on the chronological age, the cohort of people 65years of age or older are considered as elderly. 3 groups ofolder people have been identified:-

* Young old (65-74 years)* Old-old (75-84 years)* Oldest old (>85 years)Elders above 65 years (old age) have health problems as

a result of aging process, which calls for special considera-tion.

One or the other problems may be common but impair-ments are not life threatening, they affect a person's quality-of-life. Thus, planning treatment for the senior dentalpatient includes an understanding of the chronic diseasesthe patient lives with daily, as this play a critical role in theacceptance and success of the dental treatment plans

The dentists are hence inan ideal position to contribute to the well-being of the elderly.

The attitude should be Graceful acceptance of agechanges...

Need for preventive servicesPresence of root caries, periodontal disease and xerosto-

mia are oral diseases that are found majorly affecting theolder population. Despite these conditions affecting the eld-erly being treatable or preventable, many of the elderly donot avail the needed treatment because, most of the currentolder than 60 were not introduced to the concept of preven-tive dentistry at a young age.

Older people often face difficulty in mechanicalremoval of plaque because of reduced manual dexterity orimpaired vision.

Use of rotary electric toothbrushes, or manual brushesthat have been adapted or customized for each person canbe of help.

RinsesA therapeutic rinse contains an agent that is beneficial to

the tooth surface or oral environment. Therapeutic rinsesmay contain chlorhexidine, sodium benzoate, sanguinaria, afluoride, or other remineralizing agents, which halts oral

disease and should be recommended to the elderly whenappropriate.

Chlorhexidine rinse has numerous applications for treat-ment of elderly. Fluoridated rinses have also known to pre-vent the development of caries, so they should also be pre-scribed to the elderly. Saline rinses are very effective.

Denture careMany edentulous elderly believe erroneously that once

all their teeth have been extracted they no longer need to beconcerned about oral health. The elderly who wear denturesshould be taught proper home care of both dentures and tis-sues on which they rest as well as the need for continuedprofessional care. The cleaning and massaging of the tissuesunder a denture at least once a day increases circulation andthus enhances the health of these tissues. An average lifespan of a denture is 5 years.

Counseling and educationPreventive dentistry counseling for the geriatric patient

Traditional media has shifted to digitalmedia. Digital media products havepopulated the world we live in today.Nowadays, everything is digitalised.

Technology has not only made people smarter andmore developed, but also changed the old times' consump-tion pattern of the market.

As time passes, the internet continues to grow day byday, making it a better and secure platform for marketing.Traditional media is limited up to some points, and theuser is turning blind because of that. That's why they areshifting more towards the internet.

All humans are creative beings, creative by nature, cre-ative by souls. And the brandthat integrates such a plat-form for these creative zom-bies becomes the next bigthing in the Indian market.Some key factors are:

* Speed and first contentcreation

Every content portal'ssole purpose is to become the'crusader' in the field of viral-ity, which depends majorlyon the speed, the rate of firstcontent creation. While thewhole point is of being origi-nal and fastest in creation,you not only have to be alertand updated but also have tomaintain a variation as well,which ultimately leads tovirality.

Content is like the foodand readers like the hungrycustomers, the dish you serve first has the maximum tasteof consumption.

In the generation of bullet trains, no one wants to rideon the bullock cart. Speed is what makes content industrydifferent from any other form of media portals.

* Shareability Virality is never by chance or a matter of coincidence. It

is pure science that gets derived from the parameters oftiming and other relevant parameters like its originality,targeted audience, targeted region, and emotional factor.Apart from these, shareability plays a significant role in thecontent industry. You can like, read, share, and commenton a story of your choice. Only viral content portals giveyou the freedom to explore, to share. It gives more strengthto the users and also increases the connectivity whichbooms the market.

Also, SEO being the only way to get live views on a story,mastery and combination of all these points create a postthat is read by billions.

You can't use the newspaper to express your feelings,can you? But you can share the stories of your choice on aweb portal. One-way communication lacks the importanceof customer satisfaction. Two-way builds trust.

* Easy AccessibilityReaders from anywhere can access the information any

time, irrespective of the language they speak or under-stand. Also, the shareability factor helps the content reacha maximum percentage of the audience within minimaltime. The biggest advantage it gives to the suppliers as wellas the consumers of the information is that it automatical-

ly reaches the public without major efforts.In old times, people were directly dependent on the

newspapers and radio broadcasting for any type of infor-mation. With time, electronic media took over but still ithas many barriers when it comes to consumption of infor-mation.

Content portals are readily available, and one can con-sume information from it any time, at any place. Quicklyaccessible, easy to use along with a huge variety, what elsedo you need? Ah! A soft drink and popcorn for a betterreading.

media world. They provide a unique platform to every sin-gle user.

Even ordinary people of the country can raise theirproblems by using content portals as a medium. They can

put up their life stories which make them 'famous ordinarypeople.'

In the early days, connectivity and communication werelimited to some points. People used to pass a book fromone hand to another by writing in each other's notebooks.After all, it was the best way to communicate at that pointin time. One didn't have any single platform to express,explore, but nowadays web portals are becoming easier,better and a more entertaining way of communication,which one prefers over any other medium.

The internet expands the horizons of every utterance orexpressive act to a significant level. The definition of glob-al and local has changed after the storm of 'web' in everyhouse. Even the chaiwallas and sabziwalis are gettingfamous nowadays, which shows the enormous power ofweb portals, and also marks the presence of an ordinaryman at a global level with the global faces.

* Readability and understandingA large number of content portals also help users find

the one with the easiest logical representation that can savetheir time, assuring that understandability does notbecome a barrier to accessibility and usability.
