During the Mughal period , there was a sootsayer who predicted there will be one person who will destroy Britishers . He also knew his name .
In order to ensure that people remembered this prediction, they names the most famous Kebab after him .

I don't know as a generation where we are heading, everyone is making memes, asking sharing links of the viral couple mms. First of all it is not AI generated or fake, as i saw some people were enjoying talking about the couple because someone used AI to make their intimate video. Someone probably hacked into his phone, and blackmailed him to send 20k but when he refused the person posted that video on the adult website. And after he filed a complaint against the anonymous blackmailer a week later her wife gave birth to a child. Instead of enjoying the birth of a child his family was living a constant fear. To be honest shame on us if we're promoting such incidents & blaming the couple instead of blackmailer. If the same thing happened in the first half of a movie we would probably be wishing that the police would capture the blackmailer & stop him before the mms goes viral. We all should have some empathy for them, and let's not treat every trending thing as a source of entertainment🙏🏻
Forwarded ... But a must-read 👇
24-year-old Israeli climber Nadav Ben-Yehuda, who was 300 meters from the summit of Everest, gave up his dream of conquering the planet's highest peak in order to save an injured Turkish climber.
Ben-Yehuda described the incident as follows: "I passed two fresh corpses. The corpses were fresh, because they were the bodies of people on the same ropes along which I climbed, realizing that they were dying and not having the strength to move, people did not crawl away, but buckled up, and fell into a coma and died, those who continued to move stepped over them.
When I saw him, I recognized him. It was Aydin Irmak (Turkey), we met him in the camp. He was unconscious, he had no gloves, no oxygen, no crampons, and his helmet was off. He was waiting for the end. Other climbers walked past him without lifting a finger, but I knew that if I passed by, he would surely die. I knew I should have at least tried to save him.
Aidin and I started the descent, it lasted 9 hours. It was very difficult to carry him because he was heavy. From time to time he regained consciousness, but then turned off again. When he came to, he screamed in pain and this made our descent even more difficult. Very slowly, but we descended, but at some point my oxygen mask broke, a little while later we met a climber from Malaysia, who was also on his last legs. It became clear that it was completely impossible to go further. I yelled at the climbers I met going up and demanded some oxygen for the two wounded, some responded ... "
They reached the camp, were evacuated by helicopter to Kathmandu, and were hospitalized. Everyone got frostbite, Nadav Ben-Yehuda suffered severe frostbite on his fingers as he was forced to take off his gloves during the rescue operation.
“I was faced with a choice - to be the youngest Israeli to climb Everest, which would be great for my career, or to try to take a climber off the mountain - I chose the second option and I managed to do it ...
The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has inquired about Mr. Modi's accomplishments during his nine-year tenure, with Mr. Udhayanidhi making unkind remarks, comparing Mr. Modi to Pulikesi.
I'd like to provide an honest assessment of Mr. Modi and his rule over the past nine years. As many who follow me already know, I base my political judgments on global politics. I've offered a rationale for each of the achievements below, avoiding hasty conclusions.
Banning mainstream porn sites: Pornography can have a detrimental impact on society and individuals, potentially hindering personal growth. Some consider it a tool used by elites to exert control over people. Modi's move can be seen as a challenge to these elites.
Developing in-house vaccines: Modi's decision to produce vaccines domestically and supply them to other countries was a significant step, reducing reliance on mainstream pharmaceutical companies. This action may have challenged the influence of certain powerful families in the pharmaceutical industry.
Freezing Mother Teresa's bank accounts: Mother Teresa had links to figures like Anthony Fauci and the Vatican. Modi's actions in this regard may have challenged the Vatican's influence.
Article 370: Modi's decision to revoke Article 370 garnered attention worldwide and drew criticism from certain quarters. This move may have been seen as a challenge to external interests in the region.
Maintaining neutrality on Ukraine: By maintaining a neutral stance during the Ukraine crisis, India continued its alliance with Russia, a country known for its anti-elitist stance. This decision may have irked Western powers.
Challenging Petrodollar: Modi's efforts to challenge the hegemony of the petrodollar, a key element of Western superpowers, may have raised eyebrows in influential circles.
Counteracting ISIS: During the peak of the ISIS movement, India was relatively immune to its extremist ideologies, partly due to strong leadership under Modi. This may have run counter to certain external interests.
There are many more, but I feel the above are his top achievements considering what kind of towering influence the west would have had if the above had not happened.
While Mr.Modi may not come across flawless, he may not come across as a Saint, but he is by far the best choice for Prime Minister in 2024 as he is a true patriot and a well-wisher of India, in contrast to the anti-national and opportunistic leaders in the opposition. Mr.Modi is standing up against powerful external enemies who could potentially threaten India's integrity.
For all the above achievements, people like George Soros, Bill Gates, Obama, and organizations like the WEF are believed to be involved in efforts to discredit him. It is hoped that the people of India will recognize these factors and vote for Modi in the upcoming elections to further India's progress and make India a global powerhouse.
Wishing Mr. Modi a very Happy Birthday!
May India continue to thrive under the leadership of an able Prime Minister and a stable government!
Long live India!
Jai Hind!! @narendramodi
Cancer is the emperor of all maladies. The only thing worse than fighting this formidable foe, is fighting it alone and poor. Imagine you have a stable career as a Professor of Surgical Oncology in one of Asia’s most renowned hospitals in Chennai. Your wife works for the US consulate and you have a daughter studying class 5. Will you risk your idyllic life to give poor cancer patients in a remote part of India, a shot at least, at dignified death?
That’s exactly what Dr Ravi Kannan did. One fateful day in 2006, Dr Kannan, then a surgical oncologist in Adyar cancer institute, got a call. Dr Chinmoy Choudhury, from Cachar cancer center in Silchar, Assam had called to discuss about a case - but he also asked whether Dr Kannan would like to work in Barak Valley, Silchar. Dr Kannan wasn’t sure - he however agreed to visit the hospital once.
What he saw there, made him realise the dire situation - to reach the nearest cancer center people had to travel nearly 15 hours through serpentine roads. Cancer treatment required multiple visits to the hospital. It was expensive. The outcomes weren’t always great. People had imbibed the fatalistic idea that there is little one can do about cancer - it is too powerful. So when a family member got the dreaded disease, the family had to choose between which life to save - the patient’s or their own.
Initially, Dr Kannan tried the usual silver bullet - free treatment to poor patients. He asked his IT friend to help him track patients - to his shock, he found that more than 50 % of patients never came back for the second visit. Unlike Chennai, these people hadn’t gone doctor shopping - for there were no doctors to shop! It turned out that even to access free health care, the patient and the attender had to lose out on daily wages. If the family had only one earning member this meant trouble.
They came up with an innovative idea - ad hoc jobs for the attenders in the hospital itself ! Not only that, but the attenders who were employed in cleaning, cooking etc - got free accommodation and nutritious meals. No one had to go hungry, just to get treatment. Having solved the first problem, Dr Kannan set out to solve the cost of treatment.
Some suggested making the rich pay more to subsidise treatment for the poor. Dr Kannan refused - fearing that the paying “customers” will eventually elbow out the “free” ones. He instead devised a flat lifetime fee of Rs 500 - which included unlimited visits to hospital, dental care and treatment ! Even with a flat fee, free food and stay, some people were still falling through the cracks. He then realised that treatment for the poor had to be faster - because there was no one to take care of elders or kids at school. To reduce time to diagnosis and treatment, Dr Kannan replaced the time consuming standard biopsy with frozen sections.
Patients started coming in large numbers. This made Dr Kannan wonder - why do these people get cancer in the first place and what can we do about it? Lifestyle is a major contributor, but hard to change. So he settled for the next best thing - to pick up cancer early, by screening people in their homes itself. Since there weren’t enough doctors , he trained volunteers to do the job - fighting a lot of skepticism. The idea paid off - examining patients in their own homes meant everyone could be screened for cancer.
One day a trainee doctor told Dr Kannan, “Sir, many patients are actually well off. They don’t want to pay. They are gaming the system”. He was quiet for a couple of seconds, then went with the trainee doctor to homes of random patients. The abject poverty of their homes hit the trainee doctor like a ton of bricks - perhaps there were people who gamed the system, but the vast majority did not.
The effort bore fruit and Silchar mounted a counter attack against cancer. Indian govt gave him Padmashri
Dr Ravi Kannan’s life shows what one man can do, if he cares enough.
