India cannot truly be called a global power until we address realities like this.
Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research is the primary referral hospital for Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh, yet it is struggling to cope with the patient load.
There isn’t enough parking, beds, or accommodation, forcing patients and their families to wait on the roads outside the hospital.
This situation may have been manageable years ago, but one hospital cannot continue to serve three states effectively.
It’s time for the respective state governments, along with the Central Government, to develop more institutions of PGI’s standard so people can receive timely and dignified healthcare.🙏🏻

Joy Milne, a retired nurse from Scotland, first noticed a distinct, subtle "musky" smell on her husband, Les, about 10 to 12 years before he was officially diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1994. At the time, she didn't connect the odor to any medical condition, assuming it was just sweat or a change in his body chemistry.
It wasn't until years later, when attending a Parkinson's support group with Les, that Joy realized every person in the room shared that exact same distinct scent, prompting her to believe that Parkinson's disease carried a unique olfactory signature.
Intrigued by her claim, researchers at the University of Edinburgh, led by Dr. Tilo Kunath, decided to test Joy's ability through a double-blind study. Joy was given 12 plain T-shirts, six worn by confirmed Parkinson's patients and six worn by healthy control subjects. Joy correctly identified all six Parkinson's patients, but she also insisted that one of the control group members had the disease.
Although marked as an error initially, the story took an incredible turn eight months later when that specific control subject was officially diagnosed with Parkinson's, revealing Joy had a 100% accuracy rate and had detected the disease long before clinical symptoms appeared.
Joy's extraordinary olfactory sensitivity, a condition known as hyperosmia, led scientists to investigate what compounds she was actually smelling. Researchers discovered that the distinct odor stems from volatile chemical changes in sebum, the oily substance secreted by the skin, which is altered by Parkinson's disease.
Joy’s gift has since paved the way for scientists to develop early diagnostic tools, including skin swabs and mass spectrometry tests, aimed at identifying Parkinson’s years before motor symptoms begin.
Joy Milne’s incredible olfactory ability extends far beyond Parkinson's disease and it comes at a significant personal cost. Joy is an extreme "super-smeller" due to hyperosmia. Researchers have traveled with her internationally to test her ability to detect other conditions; she has helped scientists conduct preliminary odor research on tuberculosis (TB) in Tanzania, as well as cancer and Alzheimer's disease in the U.S.
While her nose is a gift to medical science, Joy has often described her heightened sense of smell as an everyday burden. Everyday environments can be overwhelmingly painful for her. She has to strategically plan her routine, often doing grocery shopping very early in the morning or late at night to avoid the heavy perfumes worn by shoppers, and actively avoiding the household chemical and detergent aisles in supermarkets entirely because the artificial fragrances are so agonizingly intense.

Residents individually can provide food to security guards.
Give fruits , chaas , snacks when you can.
Once a week cook little extra and pack a meal .
Even 40% residents doing this once a week will mean better nutrition for the guard and joy for both. And a kinder, happier India.
I do this. And I know the difference it makes.

The person you see is Dr. Rajendra Kanwar, a senior doctor from Hamirpur, Himachal.He has donated his and his late wife Krishna Kanwar’s movable and immovable assets worth over ₹80 crore to the state government. Think about that for a moment. When we live in a time where people often hesitate to even help a stranger dying on the roadside, here is someone giving away his entire lifetime’s wealth for the welfare of society. It is a level of sacrifice, compassion and selflessness that deserves to be remembered for generations. 🙏
Assam wants to shrink Kaziranga’s eco-sensitive zone from 10km to 1km for a stadium and other development. Yet every monsoon floods force elephants and rhinos towards higher ground through these very corridors.
Let’s build stadiums elsewhere as we cannot build another Kaziranga.

@RBI क्या इन नोटों के बदले किसान को नए नोट नहीं दिए जा सकते? आपको इसपर सहृदयता से विचार करना चाहिए। किसान की मेहनत के कमाये हुए रुपये हैं। प्लीज़ इसपर सोचें। फाइनेंशियल इंक्लूज़न के संदर्भ में भी यह अच्छी मिसाल होगी। @nsitharaman@FinMinIndia
Next time you see a mother fkr stealing Public property; stop your vehicle and beat the shit out of them and then call the police instead of just making a video.
That too is serving the country.
ऐसा नहीं कि सारा फ़लक माँग रहे हैं,
हम सिर्फ़ अपने हिस्से का हक़ माँग रहे हैं।
सरकार तुम चलाओ, हमको नौकरी तो दो,
रोटी के लिए थोड़ा नमक माँग रहे हैं!
