New on @dataforin: what do salaried jobs in India look like? Many big surprises for me in @akwaghmare's piece of us including: - salaried workers are a minority in India

@gradwolf Truly weird, there should be a cooling period for this so we can cope better!

It's honestly surreal to have Rafa and Roger wearing suits and watching GS matches. I am used to only spotting Laver, BJK, Edberg and the likes.

This panel w/ @nachiketmor, Viren Shetty, Alok Bansal, @sanjaynagral & @binduananth examined how private capacity can advance UHC—through integrated care, outpatient coverage, and accountability that shifts incentives from volume to outcomes. ▶️ Watch: bit.ly/LCClaunch

Looking forward to this important conversation and sharing our experience of pre-paid primary care solutions @dvarahf

@PavithraCharan You super star!

This post has been on my mind for the last couple of weeks. If 2025 has taught me anything it’s this : progress isn’t always linear — but it is always cumulative. I started the year with three personal metrics in mind. Two have moved meaningfully. One is still stubbornly where it began. Metric #1: Fitness — moved. Big time. In 2024, my only goal with strength training was simple: show up, don’t bunk, survive the session. In 2025, I wanted more from each class. So I changed the system, now that the habit had formed. I set 2–3 interim targets through the year. Add an activity or a challenge. Finish one → add another. • I signed up for a 10K (walk–jog) and did it with friends in September. • I added Pilates in October, with a goal of 12 classes by December — without dropping my existing 3x/week strength training. • I layered in evening walks when possible. And somewhere in between, a surprise win: With just six weeks of focused prep, I competed in a deadlift competition, lifted 100 kg multiple times, and won gold in the Masters age group at a statewide event. Many of these were possible because of a great coach (tq sheba) and a lively bunch of workout buddies at Creed. I’m stronger, more toned, lifting heavier — and carrying 35% lean muscle mass. That needle has moved. Metric #2: Sleep — moved (and this one mattered deeply). I knew my poor, broken sleep — averaging 4–5 hours — wasn’t just about fatigue. It was feeding directly into my diabetes. So I treated sleep like a health intervention. Tracked it. Respected it. Protected it. By the last six months of 2025, I was averaging 6.5–7 hours of sleep a night. Quiet progress. But foundational. Metric #3: Weight — still stuck. I wanted to lose 10 kg. No shortcuts. No medical intervention. Despite better sleep, better conditioning, and more discipline than ever — the scale hasn’t moved. Not even 500 grams. I’ve hovered around the same base weight all year. I’ve consciously stayed off GLPs so far because I wanted to do it “the hard way.” But this year has taught me something humbling: For me, nutrition is the last frontier. Food noise, not effort, may be the real constraint. It’s a fact that while I’ve added the supplements and protein I haven’t really cut enough. I struggle. I justify. I relapse. So as I step into the next year, my intent is not punishment — but precision. To mimic the food-noise control that GLPs enable and see what’s possible with calm, consistent nutrition. All of this — while navigating a transition in the business I run, dealing with emotional moments and inching closer to my teen’s college application year. Heavy seasons. Big responsibility. Real life. And here’s the reframe I’m holding onto: which is why articulating this is key to my 2026 journey. The transformation is already happening. Even if one metric hasn’t caught up yet. Strength was built. Sleep was reclaimed. Systems were changed. I am reminding myself : The journey is the win — and the process compounds, even when the scale doesn’t cooperate. I’m beginning the new year better rested, better conditioned, and clearer about what’s next. Big changes ahead. And I want to be lighter — in body, in mind, and in how I carry the heavy stuff. If you’re working hard and feeling “stuck,” maybe you’re not stuck at all. Maybe you’re just mid-transformation. And clearly, we are not alone.

1 year experiential learning in a rural hospital - for doctors / mid-career health professionals. The Tribal Health Center in Sittlingi is a wonderful place started by a doctor couple. RT for reach pls 🙏🏽

I love all our @Equatormag stories but this one is particularly special: an oral history of the workers whose great migration from the countryside to Southern China changed the world, by the poet and factory worker Zheng Xiaoqiong equator.org/articles/the-m…

Beautiful piece @GhoshAmitav “climate solutions that do not make adequate provision for the inherent uncertainties of modelling, or for the wishes, hopes & aspirations of people on the ground, will always run the risk of causing anticipatory ruination.” equator.org/articles/beyon…

@PavithraCharan Whoa!! So impressive Pavi. Congrats 💪🏼

It turned out to be a podium finish kind of Sunday after all. Not without some test of patience, and a failed 2nd rep. A day surrounded by nearly 200 women (who chose to powerlift or dead lift as a mark of their strength ) and an almost equal number of allies - both men and women who showed up to support their coachees, trainees, partner, child or parent. #gold #masterssports #Tamilnadu #deadlift

My goal as a journalist is to report carefully on the best, most practical social policy ideas that can change the world, and this is easily the most exciting one I’ve had the opportunity to cover this year. I hope you'll read it 🧵↓

Sad to see how people are treating Indigo ground staff. Seeing staff hiding in the bathroom in fear

Met an elderly customer today whose name is Ullasbai. She explained to us that her birth was such a joyous event for their family & hence the name, which she admitted caused some confusion.

On my flight today, Indigo quizzed the emergency row passengers after the usual briefing. Absolute scenes!

In rural UP & Bihar, newborn mortality is 60% higher in private health facilities than public, even though better off families use pvt care. New research shows that pvt facilities cause worse outcomes for similar patients due to different patterns of care ideasforindia.in/topics/human-d…
