Kumkum Mohod and the 2 days Indian archery will never forget.

7x in a row. Since 1998, South Korea had won every women's team recurve gold at the Asian Games.

On 2 October 2026, they were shooting for an 8th.

Standing in the way was a 17 year old from Amravati, whose first bow had cost about ₹3,000.

Recurve is the Olympic style bow, the one whose limbs curve away from the archer at the tips. At the Games, archers shoot it at a target 70 metres away. The ten ring, dead centre, is about 12 cms wide.

Now imagine hitting that, with the whole country watching.

Kumkum Anil Mohod was born on 10 March 2009. In 2018, she was still a schoolgirl, not yet 10, when her mother, Rupali, saw a relative's daughter practising at an archery academy in Amravati, run by coach Prafull Dange. She thought Kumkum should try it.

The 1st bow was a wooden Indian bow. Her father calls it a bamboo bow. It was paid for with money her grandmother gave her.

6 months later, she won a silver medal at the sub-junior nationals.

Her father, Anil Manohar Mohod, makes cardboard boxes for sweet shops in Amravati. As the training costs grew, even the shared auto to the academy became too much. So he took her on his motorcycle.

A 2nd hand bow carried her for years. Later, the family bought a recurve bow from savings built up over time.

She made her international debut in 2025.

At the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, India's women's recurve team of Kumkum, Ankita Bhakat and Kirti Sharma reached the gold medal match. India had never made that final before. Ankita had been on the team that won bronze at Hangzhou.

The last set went to the wire. Korea finished on 54. India had to match it. Kirti's arrow was first called an 8, and a review upgraded it to a 9.

Then came Kumkum's last arrow. It was a ten.

The set was tied. India beat South Korea 5-3, the first women's recurve team gold in the country's history.

The same day, she and Dhiraj Bommadevara took silver in the mixed team event.

The next morning

Today, she was back at the line. She beat Korea's Kang Chaeyoung, the reigning world champion, 6-4 in the quarterfinal. In the semifinal against China's Zhu Jingyi, the 2025 World Championships silver medallist, Zhu's last arrow was a 9. Kumkum needed a 10 to win.

She shot a 10, and won 6-2.

In the final, she faced another Korean, Oh Yejin. It went to 5-5, and to a shoot-off, one arrow each. Oh shot an 8.

Kumkum shot a 10.

She became the 1st Indian woman to win an individual recurve medal at an Asian Games, and it was gold. India's only earlier individual recurve medal at the Games was a silver, won by Tarundeep Rai in 2010. Her run to the final also earned India a country quota place for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.

In two days, she had beaten Korea's team and two of Korea's archers.

Her father says her biggest dream is still ahead: the Olympics.

A man who makes boxes for other people's sweets. A grandmother's savings. A motorcycle that carried a little girl and her bow to practice. A bow made of bamboo.

And a girl who, when a semifinal needed a 10, shot one, and when gold came down to a single arrow, shot another.

Medicine makes you humble….
Doesn’t matter how much you have read, how many procedures you have done, it takes one complication to ground you.

I guess that’s why it’s called a Practice.

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Modern luxury is the ability to live quietly. No drama. No noise. No pretending to be someone you are not. Just living a low-key life that actually feels like yours. Reading good books. Listening to music. Staring at walls. Going for walks. Watching classic movies. Working on your purpose. Thinking about life and all. Feeling joy in ordinary things. Just that. That is peace.

She is nobody's servant.
It's a high-tension situation where the attendants can become violent in a second. She made the best decision by leaving.
And what attitude are we talking about?
She has the right to ask the patient to come over there. Every attendant becomes a moral police and starts deciding what's best for the patient and ordering the doctor to follow their will.

Just spoke to a 2025 MBBS graduate, regarding his financials.

Earns 23k as night shift doctor in a hospital.
Father has suffered 2 heart attacks - had to take loans for his treatment.
Elder brother has an unstable job.
He feels guilty of turning 26 but not being able to help his family.

So he has taken up a day shift as well, paying him 24k.
He works 19hrs a day, nearly everyday.

Wants to do a PG but can’t, given his family’s financial situation.

I asked him - a doctor’s life is intensely hard, especially in India. You study till early 30s and work hard all your life, to earn a living. Did you know this when you wanted to become a doctor?

“Yes. I knew all of this.
But I always wanted to become a doctor. I am the first doctor in our family. My parents are so proud of me.
I just wish we were in a better financial position.”

💔

His situation broke my heart. But his attitude told me he is going to make it. Matter of time!

Hands down one of the hardest professions to pursue in India - from entry to survival.

I donated around 60 litres of breast milk to the government hospital in Hyderabad and Chennai during my first year of post partum!!

Why does it matter? Just 100ml of donor milk can feed a tiny 1kg baby for several days. This donation could potentially support dozens of infants in the NICU. Donating is safe, screened, and desperately needed. Many NICU babies don't have immediate access to their mother's own milk due to medical complications. Donor milk acts as a vital bridge, providing immunity and nutrition during those critical first days.

It serves as a bridge for mothers whose milk may be delayed due to stress, illness,malnutrition or premature birth. 

Donor human milk is proven to significantly reduce the incidence of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (a life-threatening gut condition) in premature infants!!!

Check your local govt hospital to see how you can help! #MilkBank #SavingLives #MaternalHealth

new generation doctors are finally holding up a mirror to this undeserving society

[Dr Deepti Bahl @deepti_bahl]

Well defined working hours for doctors are not about reducing commitment, they’re about sustaining it. A rested doctor thinks clearer, decides better, communicates with empathy, and makes fewer errors. Boundaries protect not just doctors, but patients too.

When the system respects time to rest, reflect, and live beyond scrubs, it preserves the very thing healthcare depends on: humane, safe, and thoughtful care.
Healthy doctors build a healthier healthcare system.

[Dr. Praveen Tripathi @drpraveenpsy]

Read this 900-odd page biography on Mahatma Gandhi. It was a fascinating read & covered the Independence movement as well.
Mahatma Gandhi was perhaps one of the greatest humans to have ever been born, but it’s also clear that certain parts of his thinking were deeply flawed. And that’s not a contradiction. Great humans too carry flaws; that is only to be expected.

Gandhi’s tussle with Ambedkar is so fascinating to read. The more I read Ambedkar, the more respect I develop for him. He was deeply committed to his cause.
Gandhi probably single-handedly prevented the split of Hindu society with his ‘Poona Pact’ with Ambedkar. An average Hindu today doesn’t even know this.
So many people hate Gandhi without realizing that his constant fight against untouchability, and finally his fast unto death, probably saved us from a major fracture.

Gandhi’s repeated attempts to get Jinnah to work alongside him, and his repeated failures in achieving that, show that even a man like Gandhi can’t have it all. Jinnah spent exactly zero days in jail in the fight for freedom. He was convinced that Hindus and Muslims are separate nations. He broke the nation into two parts.
And was it really a bad thing? Maybe not. Given that there has been so much bloodshed over the years, had there been no partition, maybe things would have been worse. People like Jinnah who want to divide are found in bigger numbers; people like Gandhi who want to unite are rare.
But then, when you look at the rise of the right wing in India, you can also see why people of Pakistan often thank Jinnah for what he did.

Finally, every society leans towards identity-based extremism. It takes geniuses like Gandhi and Nehru to stop that, and such great leaders are born rarely.

At the same time Gandhi’s lack of reality contact is so evident when he expressed that Hitler and Nazism can be stopped by satyagraha and non-violence.
Not being able to acknowledge that his ideas, however great they were, would not work in all situations and with all people, shows that he was obstinate.

His ideas on brahmacharya were completely unscientific. He believed that semen retention is the source of power. He believed nocturnal erections (which is a physiological phenomenon) were a sign of moral weakness.
His experiment of sleeping in the same bed with a young girl to test his moral resolve appears like using a human as a guinea pig. He believed that women don’t have sexual desires and only have to tolerate the lust of men. All of this shows a deeply problematic belief system and his struggles with coming to peace with human sexuality.

Gandhi's approach towards his wife and sons was classical strict patriarchy. His bitter relationship with his eldest son shows that the person who could unite millions still struggled to unite his own family.

We know all these details about Gandhi because he shared them openly with the world.
Why would a man share his controversial experiments, his thoughts on sexuality, his personal and intimate stories?
Maybe it was his quest to reach that utopian state of complete transparency. Or maybe he wanted to set an example for his millions of followers.

Why did Gandhi choose Nehru and not Patel as his heir? How can anyone question this? Why does anyone choose one person over another? It’s always that person’s prerogative.

The Hindu-Muslim riots just before independence led to Gandhi’s great fast. He could make people stop violence by punishing himself. He would appeal to the conscience of people, and conscience can be a powerful force. But when society is so deeply divided on the lines of religion, to the extent that the country itself is about to be divided, can calls to conscience really succeed?

Of course not always. Gandhi could still stop violence in Bengal, but not in Punjab. The bloodshed continued. That Gandhi’s appeals didn’t work in Punjab is not surprising. That they did work in Bengal is surprising.
As Mountbatten famously said: “In the Punjab we have 55,000 soldiers and large-scale rioting on our hands. In Bengal our forces consist of one man, and there is no rioting. As a serving officer, as well as an administrator, may I be allowed to pay my tribute to the One-Man Boundary Force.”

Now look at the critique of RSS and Hindu Mahasabha leaders: that Gandhi was subduing Hindus by asking them to be non-violent, which would make the country weak and vulnerable to attacks and maybe even repeat colonisation. That’s a fair point.
If the world was a violent place just coming out of the Second World War, and the country was being divided on religious lines with those going to Pakistan believing they were descendants of great Muslim rulers and warriors, how would non-violence save the country? That’s the problem with Gandhi’s ideas: if one party to the conflict becomes violent, the whole concept immediately fails.

But the fact that he was able to bring millions of Indians together for a common cause shows that his ideas, even if they may not work in every situation, were a potent tool to unite Indians against a much stronger enemy, the British.

Gandhi was killed by Godse. It was a heartbreaking end, yet it also seemed to complete the narrative of his life.
A religious man, who preached non-violence all his life, shot dead by a man from his own religion, this made his life story immortal.

In the end, was Gandhi right or wrong? That’s the wrong question. Humans can’t be all right or all wrong. If Gandhi didn’t do everything right, that doesn’t make him wrong.

What’s clear is this: he was extraordinary. A man who made a major impact.

Let me end with a small anecdote that exemplifies his continuing influence across the world.
I was reading this book on the flight back from Spain to India, and a white stewardess was serving food. When she reached my seat, she noticed the title of the book and said: “Oh, that’s a book on Gandhi. Maybe if all of us followed him, the world would be so much more peaceful.”

Happy Gandhi Jayanti

⛔ हत्या नहीं करनी थी 😢
आजकल हॉस्पिटल का इंचार्ज होना खतरे से खाली नहीं है, स्टाफ ड्यूटी पर नहीं आना चाहता, घर बैठे तनख्वाह लेना चाहता है, आ गया तो लेट आएगा या काम नहीं करेगा, अड़ंगे लगाएगा! हर एक स्टाफ एक नेता को पकड़ के रखता है, हॉस्पिटल में काम करने के बजाय नेताओं की जी हुजूरी करता रहता है!
हॉस्पिटल में काम नहीं होता या टारगेट पूरे नहीं होते तो उच्चाधिकारी और एसडीएम ही कलेक्टर आदि लोग इंचार्ज का गला पकड़ते हैं, ऐसे में आजकल डॉक्टर इंचार्ज बनने से घबराते हैं! हाल ही में बांसवाड़ा में एक डॉक्टर ने नर्सिंग स्टाफ को डयूटी पर आने को बोला तो वे लोग हॉस्पिटल में डॉक्टर को को धमकाने के लिए बंदूकें लेकर आ गए, वो तो सीसीटीवी लगा हुआ था सो रिकॉर्ड हो गया!
लेकिन हॉस्पिटल के इंचार्ज, स्टाफ से बुरी तरह आहत हैं, स्टाफ सीधे धमकी देता है, या नेताओं से धमकियां दिलवाता है या फिर गलत आरोप लगवाकर उलझाने को आतुर रहता है, या झोलाछाप यूट्यूब वाले पत्रकारों को मिलीभगत से बुलाकर डॉक्टरों का हैरेसमेंट करते हैं ताकी वे लोग अपनी जिंदगी मजे से जिएं!
डॉ. वैभव चावला जैसे लोगों की गलती है कि उन्होंने हॉस्पिटल की व्यवस्थाओं को सुधारने का सोचा और स्टाफ को समय से आकर जनसेवा का काम।करने को कहा...
आज कहाँ हैं वे एसडीएम, कलेक्टर, नेता, अधिकारी और आम जनता? जो रोज हॉस्पिटल इंचार्ज पर आकर चढ़ाई करते हैं! रोज हिसाब मांगते हैं! अब कहाँ हैं वे झोलाछाप और असली पत्रकार? सरकारी अस्पतालों के डॉक्टर दो पाटों के बीच में पिस रहे हैं लेकिन उनका दर्द कोई नहीं सुन रहा!
एक हॉस्पिटल के इंचार्ज डॉक्टर की हत्या इसलिए मात्र कर दी क्योंकि वो अपनी ड्यूटी ईमानदारी से कर रहा था! ईमानदारी की सजा तो मिलनी ही थी, नेताओं से दो गालियां निकलवा देते, दो वीडियो बनवाकर वायरल कर देते, अपनी यूनियन की तरफ से अपने स्टाफ के साथ बुरा व्यवहार करने का फर्जी लेटरहेड लेकर कलेक्टर से मिल लेते, कोई भी फर्जी आरोप लगवाकर बदनाम कर देते, बन्दूकें लहरा लेते, लेकिन हत्या नहीं करनी थी 😢
डॉ. चावला को शत शत नमन 🙏

Rest of India: while our brothers and sisters in North and the West are braving it all in real life, all we have is social media.

So if we are all chronically online anyway. Let’s make sure we don’t lose the narrative war anywhere.

Pakistan will not win the actual war. But they will try their absolute best to win the sympathy. To play victim. To cry foul.

Let’s ensure they don’t. Everyone must hear loud and wide that

Pakistan is the aggressor.
Pakistan is a terrorist state.
Pakistan gives asylum to the deadliest terrorists in the world.

Do you de-escalate to ceftriaxone?

NO.
