@sajithpai I too moved to BLR couple of months ago and have found the cost of ironing bit high compared to NCR ( Faridabad to be specific). I pay 9 rupee in Varthur; the ironing guy has a setup in the parking basement with pick up & drop facility. @twitbytes
@GabbbarSingh Something with the settings, I used to have this challenge but it has changed without me doing anything. The call no longer takes up the entire screen. Will try to take a pic next time and post
Good read.

This film lasts only 4 minutes and it won an Oscar ...
Intense, but it conveys tremendous reality, empathy and putting ourselves in other people's shoes ...
Knowing how to recognize your mistakes and knowing that others also have their problems and empathizing is precious ...
This clip went viral a while ago.
An American vlogger discovers a Ph.D candidate running a food stall, part-time.
What struck me as truly special, however, was the end, when he picks up his phone & the vlogger thinks he’s going to show him social media mentions of his stall—but instead, he proudly shows him online the research papers he has authored!
Incredible. Unique. Indian.
The best story today to start your day. hope IIT stalwarts & teachers take care & mentor him! He has a whole village behind him; it’s better than building 10 hostels! His village also needs recognition & support! Agree? @NandanNilekani #ashankdesai & billionaire tech-bros

Will you believe me if I told you the reason why a nice pink healthy liver turned into the grotesque form seen below?
Diabetes.
Absolutely no alcohol.
Diabetes and overweight/obesity are among the most common causes of cirrhosis in India. In fact, metabolic syndrome, of which diabetes and obesity are a part of will soon topple alcohol as commonest cause of fatty liver and cirrhosis in the future.
Sugar is the new alcohol.
Diabetes does to your liver what alcohol does too.
In fact, the largest series of liver cancer in India, done from Kerala found that most common cause of cirrhosis and hence cancer of liver was non-alcohol-related fatty liver disease (now called MASLD).

If you have diabetes and is obese/overweight, you can prevent this from happening to your liver by controlling both.
If a person tells you diabetes can be controlled with medications alone, he is wrong. If a person tells you that diabetes can be controlled by diet and exercise alone, he is wrong.
Management of diabetes in the majority may require both. Medications become mainstay in some patients, while lifestyle changes in others.
Medications for diabetes are life saving. They prevent organ damage due to diabetes. They do not cause organ damage. If the doctor suggests insulin, take it. It is for your own good. Introduction of insulin saved millions of children dying from diabetes.
None of the alternative medicine practices help you control diabetes. It is all a scam. All supplements that you see on the shelf and online and on social media that claim to control diabetes are desgined and sold by scamsters, some with a PhD and some who are doctors, while some playing the part well. Save your money. There is "no safe and effective diabetes controlling herbal or non-herbal supplement."
You do not need a fancy fad diet to control diabetes and lose weight. Control your portions, and go on a calorie deficit by working out. Limit/ replace high glycemic foods with lower glycemic options. Walking is not an exercise. Brisk walking is. Jogging is. Running is.
If you can shed kilos the safe way, open your mind towards great medical options to control your diabetes and be consistent in your physical activity, rest assured, the chances of your liver looking like the one below, is very slim.
Exercise and diet control are not the only options for you to lose weight if you have morbid obesity - there are endoscopic techniques and bariatric surgery. These are excellent options. Do not fear these methods because they maybe life saving options. In fact, bariatric surgery reversed cirrhosis and reduced heart related deaths in a fantastic study. Speak to your doctor to see if you are a candidate for the same.

Annual mela at Belur Math. More than 1200 shops are there. More than one lakh visitors.
One day, 3 patients, varying neurological symptoms: One common cause
1. 59-year old lady, senior manager at a software firm, consulted with forgetfulness for 6 months, which had gotten worse over time. It was impacting her work as well as social life.
Diagnosis: Mild dementia
Vitamin B12 was 80 pg/mL
2. 35-year old man, a businessman, consulted with mild forgetfulness for three months. He used to be very sharp earlier, but now, he had to note down all important things in his diary. He suffered from financial losses in his business due to memory impairment.
Diagnosis: Mild cognitive impairment
Vitamin B12 was 118 pg/mL.
3. 24-year old man presented with tingling and burning sensation of feet and hands for 6 months.
Diagnosis: Peripheral neuropathy
Vitamin B12 level was 160 pg/mL
The common link among these three cases is vitamin B12 deficiency.
In cases 1 and 2, it was nutritional deficiency (as they were strict vegetarians) and in case 3, it was poor vitamin B12 absorption due to the presence of abnormal antibodies in the gut.
I counselled the patients, discussed the diagnosis, treatment and expected outcomes. They were started on vitamin B12 injections.
Take home message
Exclude vitamin B12 deficiency, if a person presents with one or more of the following symptoms
➡️Tingling, burning or numbness of feet/hands
➡️Memory impairment
➡️Mood swings or behavioral changes
➡️Imbalance while walking, especially in dark
➡️Tremors, or slowness of movements
➡️Headache
➡️Seizures
➡️Anemia
➡️Skin pigmentation (darkening) over knuckles, hands, palms, or soles
➡️Tinnitus or hearing loss
➡️Poor vision
✅Early diagnosis and prompt initiation of treatment with vitamin B12 supplements results in excellent outcomes.

When he was 19, Andre Agassi started losing his hair.
Deeply ashamed of his receding hairline, to hide it, Agassi started wearing a hairpiece.
Not long after, at the 1990 French Open, Agassi made it to his first Grand Slam final.
“The night before the final,” Agassi writes,
“Catastrophe strikes.”
As he was taking a shower, Agassi felt the hairpiece disintegrate in his hands. He summoned his brother, who was able to clip the hairpiece back together with 20 bobby pins.
The next morning, Agassi writes, “warming up before the match, I pray. Not for a win, but for my hairpiece to stay on…My tenuous hairpiece has me catatonic…With every lunge, every leap, I picture it landing on the clay. I can picture millions of people suddenly leaning closer to their TVs, turning to each other and in dozens of languages and dialects saying some version of: Did Andre Agassi’s hair just fall off?”
At times, he looks into the stands and sees fans sporting hairdos just like his. This only exacerbates his sense of shame. “I can’t imagine all these people trying to be like Andre Agassi,” he writes, “since I don’t want to be Andre Agassi.”
Because of this fixation on his hairpiece, though he was the heavy favorite, Agassi lost three sets to one.
After, his girlfriend, aware of the hairpiece catastrophe, says, “I think you should just get rid of that hairpiece.”
“Impossible,” Agassi replies, “I’d feel naked.”
“You’d feel liberated,” she says.
He thought it over for a few days: “I thought about the pain my hair has caused me, the hypocrisy and the pretending and the lying.”
And then he went back to his girlfriend, “Let’s do it…Let’s cut it all off.”
His first tournament with a bald head was another Grand Slam, the Australian Open, and, “I come out like the Incredible Hulk. I don’t drop one set in a take-no-prisoners blitz to the final.”
You were right, he told his girlfriend before the final, “my hairpiece was a shackle.”
In the final, he won three sets to one. “Everyone says it’s my best performance yet, because it’s my first victory over Pete [Sampras]. But I think twenty years from now I’ll remember it as my first bald victory.”
Takeaway 1:
In his book, in interviews, and in the documentary “Stutz,” the psychiatrist Phil Stutz talks about the Shadow.
“The easiest way to say it,” Stutz explains, “is that the Shadow is the part of yourself that you’re ashamed of…It’s a flawed part of yourself that you feel you have to hide and once you start to hide things, you become very sensitive to whether other people can see them or not. It becomes an obsession—How do they see me, what do they think of me, do they like me, love me?”
The more you try to hide what you’re ashamed of, as Agassi said, the more ashamed you feel.
“But the beauty is,” Stutz continues, “once you stop hiding it, you can relax and then you get flow. If you stop hiding your Shadow, if you stop hiding, you get flow. And that’s what everybody wants.”
After he stopped hiding his Shadow, Agassi got flow. He went on to win back-to-back Grand Slams and ended 1995 as the number one ranked tennis player in the world, replacing Pete Sampras who held the spot for eighty-two straight weeks.
Takeaway 2:
Keeping in mind that Agassi was so worried about what others would think or say about his shaved head, I went searching for what others thought or said after he shaved his head.
All I could find was a passing mention in a 1995 Washington Post piece (“The wild mane of hair he sported at the tournament last season has been replaced with his new no-nonsense buzz cut.”)
It made me think of a line from the philosopher Seneca, who writes in a letter titled On Groundless Fears: “We suffer more in our imagination more often than in reality.”
In his head, Agassi thought people would think or say nasty things about him.
In reality, no one really cared.
