Gold Price Drops Again in Chennai; Offers Relief to Middle-Class Buyers
The price of gold in Chennai has started to decline once again. After witnessing an upward trend over the past few days, the slight dip has renewed interest among buyers, especially middle-class families and small investors. The recent surge in gold prices had reduced the purchasing power of the public, but the latest decrease has brought relief and optimism ahead of the festive and wedding season. As of today, the price of gold in Chennai has fallen by Rs. 50 per gram, bringing the rate down to Rs. 11,270 per gram (22K). Similarly, the price of one sovereign has decreased by Rs. 400, now selling at Rs. 90,160. Jewellers say this is a favourable opportunity for customers planning gold purchases for weddings and other important events. The change in prices over the last 48 hours has boosted confidence among buyers. In contrast, silver prices have remained stable. The price of 1 gram of silver continues at Rs. 165, while 1 kg of silver is unchanged at Rs. 1,65,000. The steady silver rate has ensured that household budgets remain unaffected. Economists note that the earlier rise in gold prices was influenced by two key factors: global central banks increasing their gold reserves, and investors turning to gold as a safe investment amid global economic uncertainties. These conditions have led to frequent fluctuations in the gold market. However, the current slight decline is seen as a positive sign for consumers, especially with the upcoming festive and wedding season.
What Is Ageism and Why Does It Affect Everyone?
What Is Ageism? Ageism refers to the stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel), and discrimination (how we act) towards others or oneself based on age. It affects attitudes, relationships, and behaviors across all stages of life. Who Does Ageism Affect? Ageism affects everyone. Children as young as four begin to recognize and internalize cultural age stereotypes. These stereotypes shape how they perceive others and themselves, leading to self-directed ageism at any age. Ageism often intersects with other forms of discrimination, such as those related to sex, race, or disability, worsening inequality and exclusion. Where Is Ageism Seen? Ageism is everywhere — in our institutions, workplaces, relationships, and even self-perceptions. Examples include: – Policies that ration healthcare based on age. – Practices that limit young people’s decision-making opportunities. – Patronizing behavior toward older or younger individuals. – Self-limiting beliefs that arise from internalized stereotypes about what people can or cannot do at a certain age. Is Ageism Really a Problem? Yes. Half of the world’s population is ageist toward older people, and in Europe, younger people report experiencing more age discrimination than any other age group. Ageism can: – Damage self-esteem and erode solidarity between generations. – Limit contributions from both young and older people. – Harm health and longevity, causing poorer physical and mental health, slower recovery from illness, and earlier death (by an average of 7.5 years). – Increase risky behaviors like poor diet, smoking, and excessive drinking. In the United States, ageism costs approximately US$ 63 billion annually — one in every seven healthcare dollars for the eight most expensive medical conditions. How Can We Combat Ageism? Three proven strategies can reduce or eliminate ageism: 1. Policy and Law – Implement regulations that address age-based discrimination and protect human rights. 2. Educational Activities – Promote awareness, empathy, and accurate information about all age groups to challenge stereotypes. 3. Intergenerational Interventions – Create opportunities for interaction between generations, reducing prejudice and fostering understanding. Final Thoughts Ageism is a global issue that harms individuals, communities, and economies. By promoting equality, inclusion, and respect across all ages, we can build societies that value people of every generation.

Deafness and Hearing Loss: Safe Listening Tips
Loud sounds are part of daily life, but frequent exposure can cause irreversible hearing damage. Practicing safe listening protects your ears and prevents noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). How Loud Sounds Affect Ears Tiny sensory cells in the inner ear detect sound. Prolonged exposure to loud noises can cause temporary hearing loss or tinnitus. Repeated exposure can lead to permanent damage and difficulty hearing high-pitched sounds. Safe Listening Guidelines – Keep volume below 60% of device maximum. – Use noise-cancelling headphones to reduce volume needs. – Wear earplugs or earmuffs in loud environments. – Limit listening time and take regular breaks. – Monitor sound levels with apps or built-in phone features. – Seek professional help if experiencing persistent ringing or hearing difficulties. Sound Levels and Safe Listening Time Sound Level (dB) Safe Time/Week Example 80 dB 40 hours Doorbell 90 dB 4 hours Shouted conversation 100 dB 20 mins Hair dryer 110 dB 2.5 mins Shouting in ear 120 dB+ Dangerous Sirens, firecrackers Tips for Gamers and Music Lovers – Keep game or music volume below 60%. – Take 10-minute breaks every hour. – Prefer external speakers over headphones. – Use devices or apps that limit volume and track exposure. Final Thoughts Noise-induced hearing loss is preventable. Practicing safe listening ensures you can enjoy music, games, and everyday sounds without damaging your ears. Listen safely to hear tomorrow.

Forgotten Money in Old Bank Accounts? RBI Launches Initiative to Help You Recover It
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has stepped up efforts to help citizens reclaim money lying in dormant bank accounts for over 10 years. Funds from such accounts are transferred to the RBI’s Depositor Education and Awareness (DEA) Fund — but account holders and their families can still claim the amount at any time. To simplify the process, RBI has urged the public to check for unclaimed deposits through its official portal UDGAM (https://udgam.rbi.org.in). How to Claim Your Unclaimed Deposit: – Visit any branch of the bank where the account was held – Submit valid KYC documents such as Aadhaar, Passport, Voter ID, or Driving License – Receive your unclaimed money (along with applicable interest) In addition, banks across the country will conduct special camps from October to December 2025 to assist customers in locating and reclaiming their unclaimed deposits. The RBI has advised the public to make use of this opportunity and retrieve their long-forgotten funds safely and quickly.

Link Your Aadhaar with PAN – Avoid Getting Your PAN Card Inactive
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has made it mandatory to link the Aadhaar card with the PAN card to promote greater transparency and accountability in the income tax filing process. This measure helps the government verify taxpayers’ identities, prevent duplicate PANs, and reduce tax evasion. Linking both documents is crucial because if you fail to do so, your Income Tax Return (ITR) may be rejected, and your PAN card could become inactive. An inactive PAN means you won’t be able to file taxes, open bank accounts, or make financial transactions and investments that require a valid PAN. As per the CBDT’s latest directive, all individuals who were issued a PAN on or before October 1, 2025, must link it with their Aadhaar by December 31, 2025. Missing this deadline could lead to serious financial and legal inconveniences. For new PAN applicants after July 1, 2025, having an authenticated Aadhaar is compulsory. In such cases, the Aadhaar-PAN linking will happen automatically during the PAN application process, ensuring a smoother verification experience.
