There's certain people that you cannot speak on specific topics with because they don't have the range, the knowledge, the empathy or the depth, to even understand where the fuck you're coming from.
The AIIMS Delhi exodus: Why top faculty & HODs are leaving India’s most prestigious medical institution.
Cardiac surgeries were cancelled five to six days every month, and patients, including small children, were moved to waiting lists extending up to 15 months, said Dr Hote, who joined AIIMS as a student in 1999.
“About five percent of patients on the waiting list died before their surgery date… including small children. It was not just frustrating. It was causing me guilt,” Dr Hote told ThePrint.

🚨 Heinz have pulled off a marketing masterclass. 🤯
FIFA World Cup stadiums are serving Heinz condiments, but because Heinz aren't an official tournament sponsor, every bottle has been covered up with black tape.
Instead of hiding from it, Heinz turned it into a campaign. The brand embraced the blackout, launched content around the taped-up bottles, and even sparked a viral exchange with Levi's.
What started as a sponsorship restriction has become one of the most talked-about marketing wins of the World Cup. 🎯🌎

What Are Jamun Fruits Trying to Tell Us?
This year, I am seeing more jamun (Indian blackberry) fruits in the markets than I have ever seen in the last thirty years.
The fruits are literally raining down from the trees. Even trees that bore only a few fruits last year are heavily laden this season. Trees that usually produce well are dropping an even more abundant harvest.
Why is this happening?
My grandmother used to say:
“If jamun trees shed unusually large quantities of fruit during summer, there is a higher chance of drought that year.”
Interestingly, modern science lends

The Engine Starts
Ever wonder why India gets such a massive monsoon? 🌧️ It all starts with the powerful Somali Jet. This low-level wind (the blue arrow) crosses the equator and acts like a conveyor belt, targeting the Indian subcontinent.
Let's break it down 👇
The Driver
The Somali Jet doesn't just appear—it needs a mechanical push. 💨 That push comes from thousands of kilometers away: the Mascarene High. This high-pressure system near Madagascar acts as a pump, forcing trade winds north across the equator. Earth's rotation (Coriolis force) then curves and intensifies this flow into the Somali Jet 🌍.
The Fuel
A strong wind is powerful, but a wet wind is a monsoon. ⛽️ As the Somali Jet accelerates across the Arabian Sea, it travels over extremely warm waters. This heat causes massive evaporation, effectively "fueling" the jet with incredible amounts of moisture. It’s now a loaded atmospheric engine heading straight for India.
The Impact
Finally, the jet hits the Indian coast. ⛰️ Because the moisture-laden air is forced to rise over the Western Ghats (a process called Orographic Lift), it cools and condenses, resulting in heavy rainfall. This is the moment the monsoon officially arrives and transforms the landscape.
Most people think #BhagavadGita is about a battle between armies. But my learning is that it's actually about the war happening 'inside' each of us, between our doubts and fears, and the voice within that already knows the answer.
As we grow older, it's important to remember - we don’t really “know it all.”
This can be a tough lesson to internalize, especially as we rise in our careers. The more we get promoted, the more people laugh at our jokes, nod at our opinions, and tell us how wise we are. If we’re not careful, we start believing the hype.
Over time, certainty becomes a trap. The more convinced we are that we’re “right,” the less likely we are to truly listen to others - especially those with different opinions. We may think we’re being decisive or experienced, but in reality, we might just be closing the door on curiosity, learning, and growth.
Staying humble doesn’t mean doubting ourselves. It does mean staying open. It means knowing that no matter how much we’ve achieved, we still have something to learn.
Life is good.
