@DietDrsayajirao The effect of the moon’s gravity on contained fluids inside of the human body is astronomical small!. There are other stronger forces ( blood pressure and osmotic forces) which nullify any effect of the lunar gravity on the body fluids.

@HindolSengupta Interestingly no mention of migrant labour exploitation, passport confiscations and bonded contacts that played a prominent role in the Dubai story.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Being too germ averse is not good for one’s immune system. Add to that the unnecessary paper waste. A simpler solution is washing hands frequently.

@thebetterindia To date, there is not a single scientific paper that has been published in a peer reviewed journal about the study results of the vaccine. Before promising miracles we should first confirm if the hype is worth it.

@venkat_fin9 Which “multispeciality hospital “ - mention name and make and year of manufacturing of both the machines if u want to compare! . An MRI is not the same everywhere. Also even if the machine is the same the report is dependent on the skill of the radiologist reporting that may vary

@bhash Hampi - With lots of tourists year round, good place to start a pilot project. Cycling around the place is a beautiful exercise in self exploration but uphill roads and the hot sun makes it difficult for some. Add S1s here with charging points at eating places.
