Anything that burns… Anything that burns contributes to air pollution. We should support cleaner alternatives. Replace coal grills and tandoors with electric ones. Replace thermal power plants with solar panels everywhere. Replace petrol and diesel with EVs.

When I saw Rs. 62 trending, I thought it must be either the reduced petrol price or some new scam of Rs. 62 crores but… say.ly/igf3L7r

I am the brother of Vedant and I am appalled by seeing how people are calling us Pakistani yes Vedant did not had twitter because he was busy studying instead of tweeting and we made this account for tweeting his genuine issues because we could not apply for reevaluation

I am a CBSE Class 12 student. After receiving unexpectedly low marks in Physics, we applied for photocopies of my answer sheets through the CBSE reevaluation process. Today we received the copies. And I am shattered because the Physics answer sheet uploaded by CBSE is not mine

2026 is turning out to be a case of when it rains, it pours. Every few years, the Pacific Ocean warms up abnormally, and that phenomenon is called El Niño. When it happens, India's monsoon weakens. This year, it looks like a super El Niño is developing, and the IMD is already forecasting rainfall 6% below normal for 2026. It may not sound like much, but remember, 70% of India's annual rainfall comes from the monsoon, and 60% of farmers depend entirely on it. If history is any guide, we may have a terrible year ahead. In 60% of El Niño years since 1951, India has seen below-average rain. In 2009, rainfall fell to just 78% of normal, the worst in 37 years. A weak monsoon means weaker harvests, and weaker harvests mean higher food prices and higher inflation. Food is one of the biggest expenses in a household budget. This is now layering on top of the unholy mess created by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's war with Iran has effectively shut a channel that carries 20% of the world's oil and 20% of its LNG. India imports 80 to 90% of its oil and 40 to 50% of its gas, and we are already seeing steady price hikes and WFH advisories going out around the world. The Indian crude basket averaged $114 in April and is at $106 in May — still far above comfortable levels, and this crisis may drag on for longer. When food and energy prices rise together, the RBI cannot stay quiet. Beyond a point, it will have to start hiking rates, and that is when a bad situation starts to feel like a crisis. It's still May😬

I applied for CBSE revaluation. The scanned copy of my chemistry sheet I received does not match my handwriting or written responses. For reference, I am attaching my English answer sheet, which clearly reflects my actual handwriting.

1/2 Dear Friends, I never wanted to become a doctor. I always wanted to write and tell stories. And yet, over the years, medicine gave me the most extraordinary stories I could never have imagined - stories that lived in hospital corridors, outpatient rooms and inside terrifying ICUs; in the trembling hands of a father carrying his jaundiced daughter, in the silence between a prognosis spoken and a family's world shattered. Today, I am proud and deeply moved to announce my first book, The Liver Doctor: Stories of Love, Loss and Regeneration, published by @HarperCollinsIN . This book is where my two worlds finally collide. My childhood love for writing and telling stories. And my adultdhood, as a medical doctor. Through the lives of real patients and their families - their courage, their grief, their impossible choices - I tell the story of the most misunderstood, most indispensable, and only self-regenerating organ in the human body: the liver. But this is not just a medical book. It is a journey through ancient myth and modern science, through Prometheus and Wilson's disease, through Mesopotamian clay tablets and liver transplant waiting lists, through the history of healing itself. I wrote it for doctors, so they may remember why they chose this life. I wrote it for patients and families, so they may know when to fight and when to find peace. I wrote it for myself, to make peace with what I have lost and what I will lose. This book shoulders that one truth I have learned in all my years at the clinical bedside: I did not become a doctor to help people cheat death, but to help them understand it. This book is my offering - to medicine, to storytelling, and to you. Lose yourself in these pages, as I have. Pre-orders are open now The Liver Doctor : Stories of Love, Loss and Regeneration - amzn.in/d/0duTenmW

Cathay Pacific flight CX156 (Airbus A350-900, registration B-LRV) from Brisbane (BNE) to Hong Kong (HKG) that got absolutely wrecked by turbulence yesterday.... 10 people hurt (6 crew, 4 pax), 8 in hospital. It hit right as they were serving meals. Clear air turbulence is sneaky AF because no warning on radar. Stay safe up there, always keep your belt on

This coffee shop in Kyiv opened yesterday, then got hit by a russian air strike just hours later. Today, they're still open and people in Kyiv are lining up to buy a coffee to support them, stepping over debris and broken glass on the way in. FYI, the coffee is excellent 🇺🇦

Stop a statin and your LDL cholesterol rises 30% in four days. Nobody writes a WSJ feature about it. Stop certain blood pressure medications and your BP can spike within hours. Nobody calls it a design flaw. Levothyroxine, antidepressants, insulin, metformin, antihistamines. Chronic treatments for chronic conditions, and all of them stop working when you stop taking them. None of them generate think-pieces questioning whether patients should have started. The AMA classified obesity as a disease in 2013. Thirteen years later, it’s still the only chronic condition where “you have to take it forever” is framed as an argument against treatment rather than a description of how medicine works.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ

While nearly 18% of U.S. adults have taken a GLP-1 drug for weight loss or to treat a chronic condition, about half of people will stop taking it within a year. Often, they don’t understand what is likely to come next. 🔗: on.wsj.com/4dCkbia

The recent body shaming of Aishwarya Rai by someone who should have known a lot better...or a little before that of Patralekha and Swara Bhaskar of not reverting to their pre pregnancy bodies immediately or ever, remind me of The impossible 'beauty' standards we set for women, and the harm it does. Also, the media makes it seem that a normal women's body (which is what Aishwarya has now) is somehow unacceptable and the only women appearing in public should look like 15 year olds or maybe 20 year olds. No man even in public life is held to those standards. Look at the TV anchors, you will find men not just with grey or balding heads but totally unkempt hair and that is somehow acceptable. The women have to look picture perfect. It also reminded me of a post a while ago by a woman CEO of some health related outfit & the theme of her song was that the body positivity movement is encouraging obesity which leads to a lot of diseases. As the saying goes unless you walk a mile in someone else's shoes, you do not know where the shoe pinches. If you've never been fat shamed in your life you will never understand where the body positivity movement comes from. Every time I see a woman, esp a young woman, making content on this theme I send good wishes because I personally know how hard that road is. It means years of hiding behind clothes, behind people in pictures, of trying to disappear. First, most people, esp women, don't choose to be fat. Second just by looking at someone who is fat as per your standards does not mean that they are not trying or do not have healthy habits. Third, by encouraging fat shaming you actually keep overweight people away from exercise because they feel judged in a swimsuit/gym clothes. And the whole narrative of being fat gets so ingrained in your head that you still feel fat even after you have lost weight. I look at this pic of mine when I was about 20 and do not see a fat girl but still I went into stores thinking, "Will they have my size?" I have seen some older body positivity influencers who posted before and after pictures; not with a change in weight but a change in confidence and you see a whole different woman. And the pressure is never the same way on potbellied men! This is besides the fact that weight doesn't equal fitness. I will give a personal example. I have lost a considerable bit of weight in the last couple of years, am fitting into clothes that are 15 yrs old. People ask me, "What are you doing?" and my answer is, "If anything, I've become less strict about my fitness" For years I had no rotis or rice except once a week and walked 10000 steps a day. Worked out in the Gym so much that I could lift more weight than most young men in their 20s. My muscle mass was higher than even the high end of the normal range for my age, my blood parameters were great but the fat remained stubborn. In my case it was getting rid of the major stressor in my life that worked If the Cortisol remains high, your body doesn't let go of weight. In terms of spirituality & healing, if you don't feel safe, the body doesn't let go of weight. I wasn't a chubby kid but started gaining weight at age 6 after an illness - probably the old generation medicines caused an imbalance. Fat shaming by random people(never my family) was the only traumatic part of my otherwise idyllic childhood. So do motivate people to take up healthy habits. Tell them not to have samosa and pizza everyday, to give up a sedentary lifestyle. But blaming the body positivity movement is an absolute no no... As is making normal aging or other normal changes a taboo for women. And remember that the beauty standards in the world have been set basically by the men in the Epstein files and that is why the aversion to normal women's bodies.

Mrinal Pande is an 80 years old Padma Shri recipient. She is a television personality, journalist and author, and until 2009 chief editor of Hindi daily Hindustan. Since yesterday, she is slandering Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her 15 yo old daughter Aaradhya Bachchan with unfortunate remarks very unlikely of her character. When decently called out, she blocked me! What is this toxic behaviour?
