I was considering taking your plan one month back. Glad I went to Narayana instead.
It’s one thing to do such grave ‘mistake’ but it’s dumbfounding to justify it. It shows how disconnected you are with patients and attendants psyche. Learn some empathy!!
Hospitals that don’t scare people. That is the idea around which we do everything at Superhealth.
This Saturday night, we tried something unusual: we hosted a musical event at the hospital.
I know how that sounds a little WTF. And plenty of people have been outraged by it. But hear me out.
The guest list was curated. Every patient and attendant was invited. Several joined us—some because they were bored, some because they wanted a distraction, and some because a hospital can feel like a very lonely place on a Saturday night.
Here is how it actually worked.
We closed the OPDs at 8 pm, as we do every day. The event began at 10 pm, with registration in the OPD lobby. Everything else took place in the basement, mezzanine and fourth-floor (our office).
All active inpatient areas were on completely off-limits and separated from the event by multiple floors in between and extensive sound insulation.
To be absolutely clear: no music or event related sound reached the patients. Not “almost zero.” Zero.
I’ve read the criticism, and I think the debate is useful and makes the point more strongly. It reveals how deeply we have accepted hospitals as places that must feel cold, frightening and morose. The mere suggestion that a hospital could also be warm, hopeful—perhaps even joyful—feels wrong to us.
Then we wonder why people avoid hospitals. Why they tolerate pain for days, postpone tests and ignore symptoms until manageable problems become serious ones. Until that shoulder pain becomes shoulder surgery.
Patients do not want to live in a morose environment. Their attendants do not either. If we can offer people a few hours of distraction, warmth or joy without compromising their care or rest, we believe that effort is worth making.
Hospitals do not need to be scary places. We are going to keep pushing that belief.
And to everyone who was disturbed or triggered by this: you have an open invitation to visit the next event. Come see how it works. It may surprise you.
As I always say, I hope you never need a hospital. But if you do, I hope you find one that is warm, inviting and kind not one that is lonely, morose and scary.
@ranjona Sanghis are so secure with their ugly mindset coz they know there are no repercussions under Modi regime!
Can’t expect any more from Manusmriti worshippers.
Filing ITR is a humiliation ritual in this country. Such high tax brackets with practically nothing in return.
Air - polluted
Water - always in crisis
Forest - cleared for Adani
Education & job - unattainable
Infra - subpar at best

This video breaks my heart..
Dear @BJP4India
Your witchhunt against Ruchika, threats to ki!! & r@pe her, forcing her to apologise on camera, exposes your "culture".
You parade her video as your victory&pride but we promise it'll come to haunt you.
Solidarity Ruchika ✊ & rage!
. @NarendraModi,
The more you go after Ruchika and hound her
The more Ruchikas you will create
Respect is earned, not forced through police cases.
This generation isn’t the one that you brainwashed a decade ago.
There can be no filthier type of man than one who defends rapists.
Pralhad Joshi is an insult to our education system and an insult to every student in it. Crores of young women study in the institutions he now oversees.
India’s women will never accept PM Modi’s new Education Minister.
Even after multiple posts from MPs, ex-chief ministers, politicians and journalists, this goon is still roaming free.
@DelhiPolice is not able to arrest him from his home in Ghaziabad.
This is how the Modi government shelters the goons
What a historic day we all witnessed!
#DharmendraPradhan resignation is just the beginning to reinstate accountability in the govt. India is a democracy and will always remain a democracy!
Grateful to our generation who stood up and especially @abhijeet_dipke who took the initiative to drive this. 💖
