@theliverdoc What about chemists? :-p

Legally Homeopathy quacks are allowed to use the title of Dr. in India. Physiotherapists were recently allowed to use the title of Dr. in India. If that is the case, petition to allow nurses to use the title Dr. because if you ask me, if there is a healthcare group that does closest to what clinical doctors do and even sometimes better than some clinical doctors, then it has to be nurses. I learned a lot from nursing staff during my MBBS internship. MD in Internal Medicine training in acute wards and DM in Hepatology training in ICU postings. Why not give them the title? They are much more deserving of the Dr. title than alternative medicine quacks. Either this, or Indian healthcare hierarchy classification requires a big reset button. Culturally, Witch Doctors are also Doctors. Just saying.

@parambyte @HidesignHQ @StudioloveIn Right now I need good buckles :-)

Why the stockmarket wallahs are suddenly worried about the economy The Indian economy has had a consumption problem for a while now. Private consumption expenditure, or the money you and I spend on buying goods and services, grew at 4.3% per year in real terms, adjusted for inflation, from 2018-19, before the pandemic started, to 2023-2024. It had grown at a much faster 7.2% per year over a period of five years before that. But those in the business of selling stocks, directly or indirectly, or if I were to put it slightly more creatively, those in the business of managing other people’s money (OPM), have refused to acknowledge this problem. But suddenly now they are. What has changed? All this and more in the latest issue of the Easynomics newsletter. The link is in the first comment. linkedin.com/pulse/why-stoc…

#Thread without Maps on #floods If physical problems and solutions are known theoretically, then why are we not able to solve flooding situations in our cities whether it is Chennai or Bengaluru or Delhi? There are 4 layers to the prob - Technical, Planning, Finance, Governance

@shirinmehrotra @TravelSpace9 Documentation is immense. Better to go through a visa facilitator

@shirinmehrotra @TravelSpace9 It costs 17-20K (at least it did a few months back). Much less if you have a US/UK/Schengen visa

Anyone here knows anything about Turkey tourist visa application on Indian passport? Internet is confusing me and doing it via VFS like service will cost a bomb it seems.
