With due respects to all our learned Godmen and Astrologers across the globe, who normally predict the happenings on daily basis, did any of them fortetold us what is going to happen in the world due to the outbreak of #COVID2019?

1 extra kg of baggage and airline bills you exorbitantly. But 4 hours of flight delay and airline owes you nothing. Airlines track your baggage weight to the gram. Why don’t they value your time to the hour? If they can charge you by the gram, they must compensate you by the hour. Today in Parliament, I asked the Civil Aviation Minister whether they are working towards a compensation framework for passengers affected by significant flight delays!

This is Harshit Mahawar. He posted a story on Instagram. He applied for a job by pretending to be a woman and got selected. It was a remote job, so he always kept his camera off and used AI to change his voice to sound like a woman. For months, no one doubted him. He was even the only “woman” in the team. Then one day, he heard that the manager had to fire one person. His performance was poor, so he knew he would be the first choice. So he told his manager that “she” was pregnant. The manager didn’t want any legal trouble, so he didn’t fire him. Instead, he became more supportive. Under the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, a pregnant employee cannot be dismissed during maternity leave, and her job and benefits are protected. Firing her can be treated as unlawful, leading to legal action, penalties, or compensation.

India ran the most important cardiovascular study of the 20th century by accident, and then immediately forgot about it. In 1967, Dr. S.L. Malhotra published a study in the British Heart Journal examining heart disease rates among 1.5 million Indian railway employees. The population was extraordinarily useful for research purposes: same employer, same healthcare access, comparable income and working conditions, spread across the entire country. The only meaningful variable was geography. Which meant diet. North Indian railway workers: Punjab, Rajasthan, UP, ate a diet built around ghee and dairy fat. They consumed up to 19 times more fat than their southern counterparts. The fat was primarily saturated: clarified butter, milk fat, the short-chain saturated fatty acids that Ancel Keys had recently been telling the Western world were arterial death. South Indian railway workers ate a diet based on rice, sambar, and seed oils: groundnut oil and sesame oil, primarily. They ate considerably less fat overall. By the standards of dietary advice being formulated in the 1960s, they should have been the healthy ones. Heart disease mortality in South India: 135 per 100,000. Heart disease mortality in North India: 20 per 100,000. Seven times higher in the population eating seed oils. Among railway sweepers specifically, the lowest-paid, most physically active workers, the gap was even wider. Heart disease was fifteen times more common in the South Indian sweeper population than in the North Indian sweeper population. Malhotra controlled for everything he could reach: smoking, where Northerners actually smoked more. Activity levels, where the relationship was inconsistent. Socioeconomic status, where executives died more often than sweepers regardless of region. He found no variable that explained the gap except the type of fat in the diet. He published the data. In a peer-reviewed journal. In 1967. The study was cited periodically, acknowledged as methodologically interesting, and then set aside. The decade in which Malhotra published was the decade in which Ancel Keys's fat hypothesis was being converted into policy. The American Heart Association was issuing guidance recommending polyunsaturated vegetable oils as replacements for saturated animal fats. The food industry was producing seed oils at industrial scale. The infrastructure of seed oil promotion was being built, expensively and with great institutional momentum. A study showing that populations eating animal fat had a fraction of the heart disease of populations eating seed oils was not, in that context, a study that anyone particularly wanted to follow up. Nobody followed up. Almost sixty years later, the finding stands unrefuted in the literature. It is not in the dietary guidelines.

Had MRI for the first time. Enquired to doctor, why MRIs is so costly. He replied, machine cost plus setup requires 10cr+. Need to pay 16-19% duty on machines as well. Come out with two questions in mind. First, why does the Government impose such duties on equipment used for essential and emergency medical treatment. Secondly, I wondered why, even in 2026, we still need to import such machines instead of manufacturing it in India.

@iamankitpande Its not health care - its a shopping mall where the sole purpose is MONEY AND NOT HEALTH CARE. I am waiting for the day where some ROBOTS or AI take care of health care and not this vultures.

Read this carefully. In many hospitals, the moment you question the bill, you become the problem. Ask why medicines are charged at full MRP. Ask why extra doctors who are not related to your patient’s case are visiting and charging fees. Ask why so many consumables are added. Ask anything about the bill and suddenly security starts watching you. Hospitals have boards everywhere: Do not misbehave with doctors and staff. But where is the board that says: Do not misbehave with patients and their families? When families ask questions, security or bouncers are called. You are already mentally stressed, emotionally broken, arranging money, and then you are treated like a criminal for asking for a bill explanation. In ICU, one person is fighting for life. Outside ICU, the family is fighting the system. Healthcare should run on trust. But trust cannot survive where questions are punished.

Good morning @dr_sivaranjani The Public Interest notice put on social media by Kenvue, the makers of Fake ORS™ is a classical case study in "Corporate Health-Washing". Hey @kenvue @JNJNews no one needs your rubbish "hydration products" from a scientific standpoint. So you can go to hell and your products can rot on the shelves for all we care. Stop intimidating physicians and clean up your corporate mess born out of greed. Presenting your products in medical conferences is not scientific evidence, its paid endorsement. So respectfully, F.O. A product that was commercially marketed as ORS for years despite not meeting WHO composition standards, that was formally banned by India's food safety regulator, that had its ban upheld by the Delhi High Court as a "health hazard," and that has now been cosmetically rebranded with a visually similar name, is being presented as a triumph of science-backed innovation. The WHO's own recommendation against the very sweetener used in the reformulated product is dismissed as "unrelated." And the physicians who fought for eight years to protect children from this deception are characterized as "disparaging influencers." Here is a takedown of their sh*tty notice from my side, which you (@dr_sivaranjani) can use in your case against them. 1. "We have shaped the hydration category in India providing consumers with scientifically formulated solutions" This is corporate euphemism for having commercialized a high-sugar beverage that was deceptively branded to resemble WHO-standard ORS for years. The product ORSL was never WHO-compliant ORS. The WHO reduced-osmolarity ORS formula specifies glucose 75 mmol/L (~13.5 g/L), sodium 75 mEq/L, potassium 20 mEq/L, and a total osmolarity of 245 mOsm/L. A product with roughly 8–9 times the glucose concentration of WHO ORS is not a "scientifically formulated solution", it is a sugary beverage that can worsen diarrheal dehydration through osmotic diarrhea. FSSAI found that the labeling and branding of ORSL beverages may mislead consumers into believing the product was a medically approved oral rehydration solution. 2. "In January 2026, we diversified our portfolio into two distinct brands — ORSL (Drug product) and ERZL (Food Product)" This "dual-brand strategy" was not voluntary innovation — it was forced by the FSSAI ban. ORSL has even rebranded to ERZL (the 'e' designed to look similar to 'o' and the 'z' to 's'). The visual similarity between "ERZL" and "ORSL" is not accidental. The product's communication and positioning may create an association with ORS, and references to similarly named products in branding or advertising could reinforce consumer recall and blur the distinction between scientifically approved ORS and commercially marketed electrolyte beverages. A parent who was buying ORSL thinking it was ORS will now see ERZL in the same pharmacy shelf with near-identical packaging and make the same error. This is classic brand continuity engineering designed to circumvent regulatory intent. 3. "Reduced the added sugar content by 87% with 1.4X more electrolytes" — framed as a public health achievement If you reduce sugar by 87% from a baseline of ~110 g/L added sugar, you still have approximately 14 g/L added sugar - and you have now replaced that sugar with sucralose, an artificial sweetener. The framing of "87% reduction" is a mathematical trick: it sounds impressive only because the starting point was absurdly, irresponsibly high. It is like a tobacco company boasting of reducing tar by 87% and expecting public health applause. Furthermore, "1.4X more electrolytes" is vague and scientifically meaningless without specifying which electrolytes, at what concentrations, and whether the resulting osmolarity is appropriate for the claimed indication. An electrolyte drink for "everyday hydration" in a healthy individual is, physiologically speaking, unnecessary - plain water and a normal diet provide adequate electrolytes for non-pathological states. 4. "There is well established scientific and safety assessment of sucralose, which is recognized by Global Health Authorities like Codex, EFSA besides both FSSAI & CDSCO/Indian Pharmacopoeia" This statement cherry-picks regulatory approvals while deliberately ignoring the WHO's own 2023 guideline where especially, this ingredient is not supposed to be part of "healthy hydration." 5. "WHO Guidelines (2023) regarding use of 'non-sugar sweeteners' to reduce the risk of unhealthy weight gain have also been cited out of context and is unrelated to products like WHO ORS and Electrolyte Drinks" This is perhaps the most egregious misrepresentation in the entire notice. The WHO 2023 guideline on NSS is a public health recommendation against the use of non-sugar sweeteners in foods and beverages across the board. This guideline provides evidence-informed guidance on the use of non-sugar sweeteners in adults and children. The guideline explicitly applies to "all synthetic and naturally occurring or modified non-nutritive sweeteners found in manufactured foods and beverages." ERZL is a manufactured beverage containing sucralose. It falls squarely within the scope of this recommendation. Kenvue's argument that this guideline is "unrelated" to electrolyte drinks is scientifically untenable. The WHO did not carve out exceptions for beverages that happen to contain electrolytes. The guideline's scope is defined by the presence of NSS in the product, not by the product's marketing category. 6. "We have been singularly targeted by a few Healthcare Professionals cum influencers in a disparaging and denigrating manner" The healthcare professionals who raised these concerns were exercising their professional duty. Dr. Sivaranjani documented cases over eight years, including a diabetic child from Chennai who was dehydrated despite being given an ORS drink from a tetra pack. It was her advocacy that ultimately led FSSAI to act. Characterizing physician advocacy against misleading health products as "disparagement" is a well-documented corporate strategy (SLAPP: Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) designed to silence public health criticism through legal intimidation. The notice's claim that these professionals are motivated by "commercial benefits" and "increasing followers" is an ad hominem attack that inverts the actual conflict of interest. The commercial benefit accusation is outrageous - the party actually benefitting commercially from the product is the company Kenvue (Johnson & Johnson). 7. "We always recommend our ORSL WHO ORS portfolio to address diarrheal dehydration and ERZL for everyday hydration, respectively" The concept of "everyday hydration" requiring a commercial electrolyte-and-sucralose beverage has no basis in physiology or evidence-based medicine. It is not recommended in any clinical guidelines. Healthy individuals with intact renal function, normal diet, and access to water do not need electrolyte supplementation for everyday activities. "Silent dehydration" - a marketing term promoted by these manufacturers - does not appear in recognized medical literature. This framing medicalizes a normal physiological state to create a market for an unnecessary product. 8. "We had no choice but to take necessary action to safeguard the brand integrity" Sending legal notices to physicians who raise legitimate scientific concerns about a product that was already banned by FSSAI and whose ban was upheld by the Delhi High Court is not "safeguarding brand integrity." It is an attempt to suppress public health advocacy. The timing - sending notices after being forced to rebrand by regulatory action - suggests the motive is to silence documentation of the rebranding's deceptive visual similarity to the original banned product, not to correct misinformation. The science is not on Kenvue's side. The regulatory record is not on Kenvue's side. The public interest is not on Kenvue's side.

चेन्नई📍 एक साल पहले चेन्नई के MGM हेल्थकेयर हॉस्पिटल में 19 साल की पाकिस्तानी लड़की आयशा राशन को गंभीर हृदय संबंधी समस्या के कारण भर्ती कराया गया था। डॉक्टरों ने बताया कि उसे दिल का ट्रांसप्लांट जरूरी है। काफी इंतजार के बाद उसे यह बताया गया कि उसका नया दिल 69 साल के एक ब्रेन-डेड व्यक्ति से लिया जाएगा। यह सर्जरी जनवरी में हुई, और उसे कोई शुल्क नहीं देना पड़ा क्योंकि हॉस्पिटल, डॉक्टर और ऐश्वर्या ट्रस्ट ने पूरी लागत उठाई। सर्जरी सफल रही और लड़की पिछले हफ्ते हॉस्पिटल से घर लौट गई, अब वह पूरी तरह ठीक है।सर्जरी की कुल कीमत लगभग 35 लाख रुपये थी, लेकिन इसे पूरी तरह से दान और हॉस्पिटल की मदद से पूरा किया गया। यह अपने आप में एक बड़ी खुशखबरी थी और विज्ञान और मेडिकल प्रगति का उदाहरण थी। लेकिन इस खबर ने कुछ लोगों को पाकिस्तान में नाराज़ कर दिया। उनका कहना था कि आयशा, जो मुसलिम है, ने हिंदू व्यक्ति का दिल लिया है और यह उसके धर्म के खिलाफ है क्योंकि वह व्यक्ति हिंदू धर्म के अनुयायी थे और उन्होंने हिंदू देवताओं के सामने झुकाव किया था। उनके अनुसार, यह पाप है और लड़की को मौत को स्वीकार करना चाहिए था बजाय इसके कि वह ट्रांसप्लांट कराए। यह घटना दिखाती है कि कुछ लोग किसी इंसान की जान से ऊपर अपनी धार्मिक मान्यताओं और रूढ़ियों को रखते हैं। जबकि हम विज्ञान, डॉक्टरों और ट्रस्ट की मेहनत की सराहना कर सकते हैं, जिनकी वजह से एक जिंदगी बचाई गई, कुछ लोग बिना किसी तार्किक आधार के केवल धर्म के नाम पर इसका विरोध कर रहे थे। इस मामले में हमें यह समझना चाहिए कि जीवन की अहमियत किसी भी धर्म या जाति से ऊपर है और वैज्ञानिक प्रगति के जरिए जान बचाना हमेशा सराहनीय है।

Indian courts - If a man breaks up with a girl after promising marriage and having sex, it is considered rape. But, - If a woman cheats and gets pregnant by another man, the husband will be considered the father and will have to pay alimony and maintenance. - Just yesterday, a man's pregnant wife left him for her lover. The court said it is her choice and she can do whatever she wants. The man had no right over his child. This is how biased laws in India are. Men are treated as slaves.

The next time a restaurant adds an LPG surcharge to your bill know this. The Central Consumer Protection Authority declared it illegal this week. Hotels and restaurants cannot charge you separately for LPG costs, gas surcharge, or fuel recovery. Menu prices must include all operational costs. This is the law under the Consumer Protection Act 2019. If a restaurant does this you can file a complaint on the National Consumer Helpline at 1915. Save this post. Share it with every man you know who eats out.

True

₹50 lakh + ₹10 lakh fine… all from just ONE complaint. Train No. 21896 What started as a simple concern about food quality on the Patna–Tatanagar Vande Bharat Express turned into serious action: ₹10 lakh fine on IRCTC ₹50 lakh fine on the service provider Even an order to terminate the contract “Haldi lagi na fitkari, rang chokha hi chokha” — this saying fits perfectly here. But this isn’t just about penalties or money. It’s a reminder of something bigger: Your voice matters. This wasn’t “just” a complaint. It became proof that when passengers speak up, things actually change. Now imagine… If every passenger chose to raise their voice instead of staying silent, how much better could the system become? Have you ever filed a complaint during your journey? What was your experience?

एक इंटरव्यू चल रहा था....नौकरी पहले ही बॉस के रिश्तेदार के लिये पक्की हो चुकी थी....लेकिन दिखावे के लिये इंटरव्यू तो लेना ही था..! इसलिये ऐसे सवाल पूछे जा रहे थे जिनका कोई जवाब संभव नहीं था। एक के बाद एक उम्मीदवार आ रहे थे..जा रहे थे....! फिर आख़री बंदे नंदू भाई की बारी आयी.... इंटरव्यू लेने वाला:--- आप नदी के बीच एक बोट पर हैं, और आपके पास दो कैंडल के अलावा कुछ भी नही है.... आपको एक कैंडल जलानी है,कैसे जलाओगे...?? नंदू कुछ देर तक सीरियसली सोचने के बाद बोला......सर, इसके तीन-चार सोल्युशन हो सकते हैं. इंटरव्यू लेने वाले को बहुत आश्चर्य हुआ कि जिस सवाल का एक भी जवाब नही हो सकता,उसके तीन-चार जवाब कहां से आ गये...... उसने बोला बताओ.... नंदू का पहला अनोखा जवाब:---एक कैंडल को पानी में फेंक दो, then boat will become lighter (हल्की) और "lighter" से आप कैंडल जला सकते हैं. इंटरव्यू लेने वाला(Shocked).......? नंदू का दूसरा खतरनाक जवाब:--- Throw a candle up and catch it, "Catches win the Matches", using the matches that you win, you can light the candle.....!! Interviewer was speechless.....?? सर अभी तो एक उपाय और है......! Take some water in your hand and drop it, drop-by-drop. It will sound like ..Tip..Tip-Tip..Tip....!! Interviewer:--- उससे क्या होगा.....??? सर आपने वो गाना नही सुना टिप-टिप बरसा पानी, पानी ने आग लगाई. इस आग से आप अपनी candle जला सकते हैं. सर यदि ये काफी नही हैं तो अभी भी मेरे पास एक और उपाय है, वह भी सुन लीजिए:---आप एक कैंडल से प्यार करने लगिए , दूसरी अपने आप जलने लगेगी. इंटरव्यू लेने वाला चकरा गया और चिल्लाकर बोला..साले बॉस के रिश्तेदार को छोड़ो , नौकरी तो इस नंदू को ही मिलेगी.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

IRCTC का नया “food trap” समझे? 😳 explorers_x2 says: हमें Vande Bharat से Hazrat Nizamuddin जाना था... IRCTC पर details डाल दी - नाम, नंबर सब कुछ। Next step पर CONTINUE दबाया... और अचानक 😳 Catering service mandatory सोचा ठीक है... option में जाकर NO meal select कर लेते हैं। लेकिन shock ये था, NO meal का option दिख ही नहीं रहा! 🤯 फिर थोड़ा नीचे देखा... एक छोटा सा checkbox था, “Food service नहीं चाहिए” मतलब ऊपर options दिखाओ... और नीचे छुपाकर “NO” option रखो? 😅 Seriously... ये कैसा UI design है? User confuse हो या extra पैसे दे - यही goal है क्या? ये सिर्फ design issue नहीं... railway authorities की सीधी लापरवाही है जहाँ user clarity और choice दोनों compromise हो रही हैं। Video in comments 👇
