The doctor suggested I get a CT scan.
I went to the center, they told me it would cost ₹7,000.
Then I went to a charity org, and they said ₹3,000.
Later, a friend of a friend got me the CT scan done for ₹1,100.
I heard that doctors take 30–50% commission for referring patients. The doctor mafia has made healthcare 5X more expensive.

Subject: Request for Consideration on the Issue of Pigeon Feeding in Mumbai
Respected Sir,
I write to you to express a growing concern regarding the issue of pigeon feeding in Mumbai, which has gained significant attention over the past month. If not addressed thoughtfully, this matter may have wider implications across the country.
It is understood that the Hon’ble Court has taken note of certain health-related concerns associated with pigeon feeding, and indeed, there have been reports of human health being adversely impacted in specific instances.
However, following the decision to restrict pigeon feeding, there have also been numerous instances of pigeons suffering from starvation. This has resulted in pigeons dying on the roads, thereby creating another public health hazard and raising further concerns from animal welfare groups and citizens alike.
In this context, and with all respect to the judiciary, I would like to respectfully present the concerns shared by Sadhus, animal lovers, and other concerned citizens for your kind consideration:
1. Is pigeon feeding the sole cause of the related health issues, or is environmental pollution a larger contributing factor?
2.Was it appropriate for the MCGM to abruptly halt a long-standing cultural and religious practice of animal feeding, without initiating dialogue with concerned stakeholders to explore viable alternatives?
3.Are there any alternative arrangements being planned for regulated pigeon feeding, or will the restrictions remain absolute?
4.Can a committee of experts be constituted under the supervision of the Hon’ble Court to evaluate the matter comprehensively and suggest sustainable, long-term solutions?
5. In the interim, can designated open spaces such as BKC, Racecourse, Aarey Colony, or Sanjay Gandhi National Park be identified as temporary zones for safe and supervised pigeon feeding?
I am confident that MCGM, as a responsible civic body, will strive to find a balanced and humane solution — one that ensures public health and safety while also safeguarding the lives and wellbeing of birds.
Your urgent attention and a thoughtful resolution to this issue will be deeply appreciated by all concerned citizens.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Mangal Prabhat Lodha
Cabinet Minister, Maharashtra

What’s the point of landing on time if you’re left stuck between the aerobridge and the terminal for several minutes with no staff in sight? Been flying with @IndiGo6E for years, but this was seriously disappointing. Hope they fix this mess.
