Three months ago, a patient died in our ER. What he did in the hours before reaching us still makes me shudder. A 35-year-old shouldn’t die from a snake bite in 2026. He died because he followed myths instead of science. Don’t let your "first aid" be the thing that kills you 🧵

The doctors had to attend to a sick gentleman and his cat was there watching everything worriedly as it happened.

We need to bring back courtyards. It was such a stupid idea to follow western modern minimalist architecture inspite of us having these.

There is a version of this story that is easy to romanticize. A famous man stays loyal to his wife. People applaud. The end. But the real version is much harder, much quieter, and far more honest than that. Jay Leno, 75, spent more than two decades as one of the most recognized faces on American television, hosting The Tonight Show night after night for millions of viewers. His wife, Mavis, stood beside him throughout all of it — not as a background figure, but as a woman of genuine accomplishment in her own right. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for her advocacy work supporting women living under Taliban rule in Afghanistan. She was fiercely independent, deeply curious, and someone who loved to travel and explore the world. Then, in 2024, Jay filed for conservatorship over her estate. The reason was that Mavis had been diagnosed with advanced dementia and was progressively losing capacity and orientation. Their life changed completely. The restaurants they once visited together are now off the menu. The travel Mavis always loved is no longer possible. The conversations they used to have in the evenings have narrowed and shifted in ways that are hard to fully explain to someone who has not lived it. Dementia does not just take memory. It slowly changes the shape of every moment two people share. Jay has spoken publicly about the hardest part of the journey, and it is not what most people would expect. For years, every single morning, Mavis would wake up believing she had just received news that her mother had died. She experienced that grief fresh, as if hearing it for the first time, every day. Her mother went through that process of dying over and over again, for about three years. Each time, Mavis cried. Each time, Jay held her through it. He described it as truly tricky, and genuinely hard. But he did not leave. He rearranged his life around her needs. He only takes work that allows him to be home the same day or at most one night away. He comes home every evening and cooks her dinner. They watch television together, animal shows and travel documentaries on YouTube since real travel is no longer an option. When he carries her to the bathroom, he has a name for it. He calls it Jay and Mavis at the prom, the two of them dancing back and forth down the hallway, and she thinks it is funny. She still laughs. He still makes her laugh on purpose, every single day. She still knows who he is. She looks at him and smiles. She tells him she loves him. When someone asked Jay if he was going to get a girlfriend now, he was genuinely surprised by the question. He told them he already had one. He was married. Forty-five years. That was not something he considered walking away from. What he said next is the part that has stayed with people. He said that when you get married, you take vows. You say for better or worse. And most people, he noted, never really expect to be called upon to actually act on those words. They say them and hope the worse never arrives. For Jay, it arrived. And he is passing the test. He has said he hopes his situation draws attention not just to his own story, but to the 50 or 60 million people in America who are quietly doing the same thing for a parent, a spouse, a sibling, and doing it completely without recognition. Nobody sees them. Nobody is interviewing them. They are just showing up every single day for someone who needs them, because that is what love actually looks like when it is no longer a feeling but a choice you make again every morning. Jay Leno still makes his wife laugh. She still has the fire, he says. She still growls at the television when something offends her. She still smiles when he walks into the room. For better or worse is not a promise you make on a beautiful day in a beautiful place with everyone watching. It is what you do on a Tuesday evening when you carry the person you love to the bathroom and call it the prom, just to make her smile. That is the whole story.

I don’t see any right wingers outraged at these people dancing by the WW2 memorial. Hmmm, I wonder why….

I rarely speak about family on social media, but today I must. A proud Maasi moment - my nephew Ishan has secured AIR 5 in the UPSC examination. An extraordinary achievement. May he serve Bharat with dedication, integrity, and honour. 🇮🇳 🙏

Women's hair is meant to be flaunted, not styled into a 'champu'... Don't knkt why hair stylists suggest this champu hairstyle, especially on special days. She's beautiful woman, but this style doesn't do her justice...
