Booked to life
If you thought reading a book is a leisurely pass time, think again. We single out few busy bees who would read no matter what

Acne ache
Ninety-five per cent of people suffer from acne.
Anuja Jaiswal talks to Dr G.P. Thami, head of Dermatology and Venerology Department, Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32
Acne does not restrict itself to the age of the person. Like any other medical condition, it can happen at any age, says dermatologist, Dr
G.P. Thami. But more than age, it’s the skin type and genetic make up of the oil glands that cause acne. Therefore, if oil glands are genetically more sensitive to various triggers like hormones, stress and pollution, then acne can occur even at the age of 50. With chronic acne, a person needs to make a few lifestyle changes like changing his/her skin care regime and diet pattern.
