Among the many things Bollywood has lost it’s the ability to be real. And no one did it more real than Govardhan Asrani.

While Angrezo ka zamane ka jailer from Sholay may be his most iconic and yeh sab kya dekhna padh raha hai from Deewane Huye Pagal his most meme worthy, it’s some of the side characters that Asrani played that I will remember him by, the most human of his roles: Chander in Abhimaan as the moral compass or Nagesh Shastri as the third wheel in Choti Si Baat ordering Chicken ala Poos, little things that you remember, a mirror to what was familiar, people and places and ways of talking.

Humor is now the synthetic slop of Housefull 5 or is it 6, and reality is nepo kids playing themselves for themselves in Bastards of Bollywood, a world that I can no longer find myself in.

The passing of Asrani is yet another wisp of the old floating away in the breeze, leaving behind something that increasingly, for the want of a better word, becomes less and less human.

Goodbye Asrani-ji.

Goodbye the twinkle of the eye. Goodbye the chuckle.

Goodbye what once was.

One of the strangest stories in Indian science, a story that makes me both despair and hope.
On this day in 1978, Subhash Mukhopadhyay delivered the second in-vitro fertilized baby in the world, Durga, just 67 days after the first child was born in Britain.
What happened after was unbelievable. The state government rejected his claim and treated him as a charlatan and most of the Indian medical community turned their backs on him. He committed suicide a broken man three years later.
Five years later, TC Anand Kumar, one of India's finest medical minds, was the architect what was regarded as India's first 'official' test tube baby. He subsequently came to know of Dr Mukhopadhyay's previous work and decided to make a detailed study of his notes and research findings.
In 1997, Anand delivered a stunning lecture in a seminar in Calcutta which clearly established Dr. Mukhopadhyay as the doctor who delivered India's first test tube baby, and relinquished his own official claim to that record. He made such a convincing case that ICMR finally accepted his recommendation to accept Dr Mukhopadhyay's original claim.
Tapan Sinha's 1990 film, Ek Doctor Ki Maut was based on Dr Mukhopadhyay's life and ended with his failure, I wish Sinha had made it a few years later and added TC Anand's story to that narrative.

One of my favourite stories about how smart and counter-intuitive reasoning saved thousands of lives.
During the Second World War, the British government wanted to figure out how to better protect their planes. They did a survey of the bullet holes on the planes that had returned

It's been a fairly shitty day for me.
I'm inviting you to share something positive that you have done for a patient or have seen a resident/colleague/HCW do.
Toot your horn or someone else's.

Came across this Hippocratic aphorism: “What drugs will not cure, the knife will; what the knife will not cure, the cautery will; what the cautery will not cure must be considered incurable.” Alternate translations use ‘fire’ for cautery.
