In a High Court case, Adman Sandeep Goyal wants the government to control surrogate advertisements.
In order to stop surrogate advertising, Sandeep Goyal has petitioned the Punjab and Haryana High Court for a government-led oversight agency. He contends that deceptive advertising of things that are prohibited, such as alcohol and tobacco, cannot be addressed by the self-regulation that is in place at the moment. By acknowledging the issue and sending letters to the appropriate authorities, the court has signaled the start of an important legal discussion over advertising control.The nation is experiencing a health catastrophe as a result of young people developing early alcohol and tobacco addictions. According to the petition, "it is argued that the commercials, which feature well-known celebrities to promote their product, not only encourage the use of alcohol and tobacco but also validate their use through the glamorous representation of these products. "The petition highlights how ineffectual the present self-regulatory frameworks—such as the Advertising Standards Council of India's (ASCI)—are at preventing deceptive advertising. Goyal demands a stronger regulatory framework run by the government to monitor advertising material.Goyal argues that current redressal procedures are not quick to offset the immediate effects of these advertisements, which continue to reach sizable audiences before any kind of regulation is implemented. Additionally, he cites Supreme Court and high court rulings advocating for more stringent regulatory monitoring in the advertising industry.

Real effect frequently comes from simplicity and intent, as demonstrated by Marcel's "Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables," which turned an in-store concept into a movement, and McDonald's simple billboard. Guerassimov came to the conclusion that bravery is an attitude rather than a financial plan. "Being a little uncomfortable" in advertising is frequently a sign that you are headed in the correct direction. He asserted that remorse endures much longer than fear.

"Dhoni will be extremely, extremely valuable as long as he is available and plays," Kohli remarked.An instruction for Kohli The idea that Dhoni's tweet revealed where his career would be going in the near future was quickly refuted by Kohli. "There wasn't anything on my mind," said the man. I was at home when I usually posted a photo online and it made headlines.

Including a scoop of collagen every day in your routine to achieve flawless fitness and beauty? This is what to search for:
Supplementing on collagen every day can improve your appearance and level of fitness. Here are some things to consider when selecting the ideal choice:Even though collagen supplements have become more and more popular in the cosmetics and wellness industries in recent years, a sizable portion of the population is still unaware of the benefits of collagen and how it can improve one's general health. For those who don't know, collagen is the most prevalent protein in mammals, making up 30% of all the protein in our bodies and 70–80% of the protein in our skin.One-third of the proteins in the human body are made up of the stiff, fibrous protein collagen, which is primarily composed of molecules arranged in long, thin fibrils that support one another and keep our skin, joints, and connective tissues robust, elastic, and healthy. Nevertheless, our body begins to lose 1% of its collagen annually in the mid-to-late 20s and early 30s when collagen production begins to decline.A low amount of collagen in the body can cause a number of problems, including weakening blood vessels, bone and muscle weakness, and joint pain and stiffness. Dr. Shareefa Chause, a dermatologist and cosmetologist at Shareefa's Skin Care Clinic, stated in an interview with HT Lifestyle that "most importantly, insufficient collagen levels can also result in skin issues like wrinkles, sagging, dryness, and poor wound healing."The dilemma is how to choose the best collagen supplement, as collagen is crucial for general health. Experts concur that with so many options available, selecting the best collagen supplement can be overwhelming. While type 1, 2, and 3 collagen supplements are commonly mentioned, there is no proof that these types of supplements benefit different body parts; instead, this is merely a marketing gimmick.The source of collagen must be identified, as marine collagen has the highest bioavailability and guarantees 1.5 times better absorption than collagen from other sources. Experts concur that bovine collagen might be less expensive, but they also advise you to take your dietary choices and any potential sensitivities into account before choosing a collagen source.Meanwhile, because collagen supplements are invariably sourced from animal sources, vegetarians have always been at a disadvantage when it comes to collagen intake. "That is not true anymore," says Bhavesh Sheth, founder of INJA Wellness, because pure-veg collagen is now sold in India in flavors like green apple, blackcurrant, and natural. It is also gluten-free and keto-friendly collagen that is designed for fitness, wellness, and beauty.Certain types of collagen promote healthy skin, hair, and nails; others guarantee youth and inner peace; still others are intended for joint health and muscle repair. Because they are simple to use, readily absorbed by the body, and have a quicker potency than other types, experts recommend collagen supplements in powder form.Additionally, they advise that it is critical to select collagen supplements that have been approved by experts and that ensure the highest standards of quality and the greatest possible outcomes. So, in order to get that glowing beauty and fitness, are you using a scoop of collagen in your daily routine?

Virender Sehwag believes that the Mumbai Indians, who are now bottom of the IPL 2024 points standings, may decide to bench both Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya for the upcoming campaign. With all ten teams free to keep any players they choose, the IPL 2025 super auctions are set for later this year. Given MI's disappointing season this year, it's possible that the team will join the league without Rohit and Hardik.Since MI's opening match of the season, Hardik, the team's new captain, has been completely out of it. He has amassed 200 runs and taken 11 wickets while doing little to improve. Conversely, Rohit had a great start to the IPL, smashing his second century, but he quickly faltered. The former MI captain's performance has declined to such an extent that Team India is worried about him ahead of the T20 World Cup. Additionally, Sehwag feels that Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah are the only two players MI can now rely on for next year's IPL because both Rohit and Hardik are struggling with bad form amidst the whole captaincy transfer controversy.Tell me something, please. Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan together won't make a movie a success. Will it not? I take it you'll have to put on a show? Have a strong screenplay. In a similar vein, all these well-known figures will need to unite and play live. MI lost despite a century from Rohit Sharma. "Where are the remaining performances happening?" Cricbuzz was told by Sehwag."Ishan Kishan participated in every game of the season, but he was unable to go past the Powerplay. For MI, at this point, just two names are definite: Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav. The top two names will remain unchanged. And we'll see if it ultimately comes down to the third or fourth option."Tiwary and Sehwag click. Former Indian batsman Manoj Tiwary reiterated Sehwag's remarks, advising the MI team management to consider Bumrah or SKY for their future captain. While Suryakumar was named captain of a T20I series against Australia and in South Africa shortly after the World Cup last year, Bumrah has led India in three T20Is against Ireland and a Test match against England.With 20 wickets taken, Bumrah stands second in the Orange Cap standings, while Suryakumar has amassed 345 runs, including a century. Tiwary is certain that Rohit won't return for a second season, thus MI would be wise to invest in any of the two."Bumrah and SKY are the two players that I believe the Mumbai Indians will keep." No one outside of them, no outsiders either. Tim David has failed to live up to expectations. I would advise the management to name one of the two players as captain and to keep only Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah. Seeing as how he seems to not want to be retained, I am not keeping Rohit either," Tiwary continued.

Virat Kohli soch ko mei badal dete hain haqeeqat.
Former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif believes that Virat Kohli could make all the difference in the virtual knockout match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). This match will determine which team advances to the IPL 2024 playoffs, joining Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.With 661 runs in 13 innings, Kohli now owns the Orange Cap. In 16 seasons at RCB since the league's founding in 2008, he has never been a member of an IPL-winning squad. But given his current form, it won't come as a shock if he leads RCB over CSK, the five-time champions, on May 18 to secure the final slot in the top four."Kohli's attitude when he opens and faces the first ball is very clear: 'I want to play more balls, play my shots, attack the bowlers; and by the 7th or 8th over, when the spinners come on to bowl, I am batting on 30-40.'" And he has accomplished it," Kaif stated in a Star Sports interview."Ek hoti hai soch, par usko haqeeqat mei badalna, woh Virat Kohli ballebaz hai (it's one thing to have a thought process and another to make it happen, that's Virat Kohli the batsman)," Kaif continued."I've done this much, I can handle it," is a common belief. not Virat Kohli, though. Kaif emphasized that Kohli has successfully addressed the aspect of his game that was being questioned. "He proved that he can hit the spinners as well...has brought out the slog sweep," Kaif added.The Lucknow Super Giants' and Delhi Capitals' chances of making the playoffs are only theoretically alive ahead of their final game against the Mumbai Indians, while RCB and CSK will compete in a virtual shootout for a spot in the tournament.Seventh position Lucknow has the same number of points (12) as RCB, but their negative net run-rate (NRR) of -0.787 gives them little hope. Delhi has 14 points, but they are also wishing against hope because they concluded their league games with a negative NRR of -0.377.With a positive NRR of +0.387, the Bengaluru team is in a better position. Nevertheless, at 14 points, CSK has the highest NRR (+0.528) of the three. As a result, RCB will be consulting their calculators to determine the winning margins necessary to overtake CSK. Should the match end in a washout, CSK advances to the next round of the playoffs. "I believe the kind of form he (Kohli) is in, it won't be wrong to call this match as Virat Kohli vs CSK," Kaif said.

This increase is a result of India's strong economic growth and increased per capita disposable income, which are fueling the country's residents' strong desire to travel abroad.India's domestic travel industry has experienced a notable surge, with passenger volume up 21% from 2019 levels. Furthermore, there has been a notable surge in foreign travel from India, with a 4% rise in passenger traffic as of March 2024.In March 2024, Chennai accomplished a noteworthy milestone when total passenger traffic surpassed pre-pandemic levels. This was a critical turning point in the tourism industry's ongoing recovery. Over the previous year, Bengaluru has continuously kept its domestic passenger traffic numbers above that of 2019.
