The price of gold has been soaring lately, both in India and around the world. The precious metal has been the object of fascination for people since time immemorial. Though ancient civilisations mined gold, the industry itself is rather modern.

With Dhanteras, which falls tomorrow (October 18) — dedicated to Lord Dhanvantari, the god of health and Ayurveda, and Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth — set to kick off the five-day Diwali festival, the price of gold could soar even further.

This is because it is believed that purchasing gold, silver and other precious metals on this day brings prosperity and abundance. Which is why people flock to jewellery stores to buy gold coins, chains, bracelets, and other jewellery.

What is the connection between Angelina Jolie and prostate cancer?

Men with BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations, known as the 'Angelina Jolie' gene, have double the risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer. The study by the Institute of Cancer Research found that men with these mutations are diagnosed with prostate cancer at a younger age, averaging 61 years. BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are also linked to higher risks of breast and ovarian cancers.
