Stick to this idea 👉 India is a 10000+ year old civilization and not just an institution which formed up in 1947-51.

The culture, arts, philosophies, research originated in this land is intended for the welfare of the humanity and that is all India's pride.

आमच्या कडचे अमुक तमुक हॉटेल जगात भारी वैगरे भक्ती करणे आता बास करा. ते व्यवसाय आहेत, कोणाला फुकट पाहुणचार करत नाहीत. पैसे द्या पण स्वच्छता आणि गुणवत्ता ह्यांच्याशी तडजोड करू नका मग नाव कितीही मोठे का असेना. 🙄

@SMahashur Thanks to Musk's X and Ambani's internet. Today a new word is added in my vocabulary.

Death is life’s eternal truth. Sometimes expected, sometimes unbearably sudden.

Nana Patekar gifted us countless unforgettable screen moments and memories, his departure feels far too soon.

May his soul rest in peace. Om Shanti. 🙏

@AmeyKulkarni_21 It's not like the BJP supporters going to switch to Congress in this term. Most of the BJP supporters note going to vote. GenZ will go to options like CJP, AAP, and independents.

Congress is going to consolidate and strengthen their core votebank.

@SidShirole If I buy something of INR 10,000, the shopkeeper will ask me to pay in cash otherwise pay 50 more. In India nobody will going to pay extra amount, they'll get the cash and pay the bill.

@TheVishalKay Disagree. The subsidy on UPI is fraction of what Govt spends on other subsidies. Also there's more incentives to the Govt to make economy cashless than cost of running UPI infra for free.

The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all.

A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue.

A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310.

These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it.

The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored.

A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone.

The Indian government allocates around ₹2,000 crore annually to support the 0 MDR rate.

The MP Govt allocated ₹23,882.81 crore for the Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana in fiscal year 2026–27.

So the logic of supporting zero MDR is unaffordable for Govt is flawed.

Pune’s secret superpower? It’s cradled by 4 living rivers: Mula, Mutha, Pawana and Indrayani.

Imagine this: one day they’re cleaned, dredged, gently interlinked, and their waters carefully managed. Suddenly the city has a blue waterway network running through its heart.

How much infrastructure, energy, ecological disruption and money are we willing to spend to make India's water supply nearly independent of monsoon variability?
