Montelukast is widely prescribed in India, and sales appear to be rising. This is despite several reported adverse effects, including nightmares, depression, death by suicide. Sanjitha Muneeswaran and I make a case for stricter regulations @the_hindu 1/n

There’s a trend in Spanish slang of describing someone with an overly high opinion of themselves as a powerful fictional character, but of a tiny territory. Examples are ‘Yeti of the fridge freezer,’ ‘Aquaman of the toilet bowl,’ and ‘Tarzan of the flowerpot.’ Anybody got more?

We’ve all had that one friend who influenced our career choices.
My 7yo & her friend:
Friend: When I turn 18 I’ll go to Canada to study geology. You can come along.
Mine: can I get a day to think?
After 30 secs…
Ok, but I’ll become an archeologist&we can work together.

Saw this on TV yesterday,was confused.With childhood obesity on the rise,and concerns around sugar consumption being voiced around the world, this ad campaign uses added glucose as a USP for kids? @FoolzWizdom @AnantBhan @paimadhu @garytaubes @smitharnair @franzinac @sfmomsmagic

A few doctors I know have been infected in the past week.There was the outbreak at KEM that was reported too.Even though a majority of these are mild, is it time we started thinking of boosters for frontline workers who have received their doses in Jan-Feb? @spkalantri @GKangInd
