हिंजवडी परिसरातील 'ब्लू रिज टाउनशिप'मधील 'द ग्रूव्ह्ज सोसायटी' येथे 'ब्लू रिज पब्लिक स्कूल'च्या अगदी जवळ 'वाइन क्लब' नावाचे दारूचे दुकान सुरू करण्यात येत असल्याची बाब स्थानिक नागरिकांनी निदर्शनास आणून दिली आहे. शाळा आणि दाट लोकवस्तीच्या निवासी भागात अशा प्रकारे दारूचे दुकान सुरू होणे अत्यंत चुकीचे व चिंताजनक आहे. याच विपरीत परिणाम शाळकरी मुलांच्या मनावर होऊ शकतो. तसेच या परिसरातील महिला, ज्येष्ठ नागरिक आणि स्थानिक रहिवाशांच्या सुरक्षिततेचा गंभीर प्रश्न यामुळे निर्माण होणार आहे. सर्वात महत्त्वाचे म्हणजे, यासाठी सोसायटी तसेच स्थानिक ग्रामसभेचे आवश्यक असणारे 'ना-हरकत प्रमाणपत्र' देखील घेण्यात आलेले नाही. नियम धाब्यावर बसवून निवासी भागात अशा आस्थापनांना परवानगी देणे अयोग्य आहे. माझी जिल्हाधिकारी, पुणे आणि राज्य उत्पादन शुल्क विभागाला विनंती आहे की, कृपया आपण या संवेदनशील विषयाची तात्काळ व गांभीर्याने दखल घ्यावी. शाळकरी मुलांचे भविष्य आणि नागरिकांची सुरक्षितता लक्षात घेऊन या प्रकरणाची सखोल चौकशी करावी व हे दुकान त्वरित बंद करण्याचे आदेश द्यावेत.

1979: fasting glucose over 140 makes you diabetic.
1997: lowered to 126.
Millions of new diabetics. Same blood.

1997: prediabetes starts at 110.
2003: lowered to 100.
A third of American adults, created by a footnote.

1984: high blood pressure is 160/95.
2017: lowered to 130/80.
American hypertension goes from 32 per cent of adults to 46. Thirty-one million new patients in a morning.

2001: the cholesterol target is 130.
2004: lowered to 100, and to 70 for the high risk.
Statin eligibility expands by millions.

Eight of the nine men who wrote that 2004 update were on the payroll of companies selling statins. They disclosed it only when forced.

1994: a WHO panel invents osteopenia. Bone that is not thin enough to break, given a name and a prescription. Half of older women qualify.

Nobody got sicker on any of those dates. A committee sat down and a number moved.

The threshold drops, the market widens, and the drug is already licensed and sitting in the warehouse.

Your grandfather was healthy at 145/92. You are ill at 132/81.

Nothing about the body has changed. Only the paperwork, and who profits from it.

I taught JEE physics for years. That paper breaks strong kids in three hours.

This exam is five hours of theory and five hours of lab work, and these five did close to perfect scores on it.

Let me tell you what actually happened.

The International Physics Olympiad is the world championship of school physics. It was the 56th edition. Held in Bucaramanga, Colombia, from July 5 to 12.

381 students. More than 85 countries. Every one of them the best physics student their country could find.

India sent five kids.

All five came back with gold.

Their names are Kanishk Jain from Pune. Riddhesh Anant Bendale from Indore. Rishit Garg from Dwarka in Delhi. Shresth Suraiya from Mumbai. Svarit Joshi from Ahmedabad.

We know a hundred cricketers by their nickname and not one of these boys. :)

That clean sweep put India at joint World Number One. Tied with China, Russia, Kazakhstan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Those are countries that pour serious money and national pride into science education. We are standing level with them.

Now here is what the exam actually was.

Two papers. Each five hours long.

The theory paper had three problems. One on the thermodynamics of paramagnetic cooling. One on the photoionisation of ozone. One on the dynamics of electron positron pairs.

The experimental paper was another five hours in a lab, working through heat transfer and thermodynamic processes in fluids.

That means you get given equipment you have never seen, and you have to design your own experiment, take your own readings, handle the errors, and reach a real answer.

Not multiple choice. No shortcuts. No pattern recognition. You either understand physics or you sit there for five hours.

HBCSE says the Indian students were near perfect on theory and excellent on the practical too.

Now, this was India's 27th appearance at the IPhO.

Across all those years, about 44 percent of Indian students have won gold, 41 percent silver, 10 percent bronze.

In the last ten years, every single Indian student has come home with a medal. 62 percent gold, 38 percent silver.

Not one kid has gone and come back empty handed in a decade.

Five golds in one year has happened only twice. This year, and in 2018.

So who built this.

The programme is run by HBCSE, the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education. It sits under TIFR, which sits under the Department of Atomic Energy.

They run the whole funnel. A national exam, then a national olympiad, then a brutal selection and training camp, and out of everyone in the country, five kids get on a plane.

The team was led by Professor Anwesh Mazumdar of HBCSE-TIFR and Dr Leena Joshi from St Xavier's College, Mumbai.

The scientific observers were Professor Ananda Dasgupta from IISER Kolkata and Nisha Kelkar from Gogate-Joglekar College in Ratnagiri.

Yes. Ratnagiri. A college in a small coastal town in Maharashtra.

This is public education doing something the private coaching industry could never do on its own.

The coaching industry is very good at one thing. Teaching you to solve a known problem fast.

That is what JEE and NEET reward, and I say that with love because I was part of that world.

But an olympiad paper does not have a known type. There is no shortcut chapter. There is no formula sheet that saves you. You have to sit with a problem you have never seen and think.

That is a completely different muscle. And a government funded centre has been quietly building it in Indian teenagers for 27 years.

So yes, be proud. Loudly.

HBCSE also shared that around 64 percent of India's olympiad medallists go on to do a PhD.

But only about 32 percent of medallists end up settling in India.

I do not say that to spoil the moment. These kids owe the country nothing. They earned every option they have.

But it should tell us something. We are excellent at finding this talent. We are excellent at training it. We are still not great at giving it somewhere worth staying.

Congratulations Kanishk, Riddhesh, Rishit, Shresth and Svarit. This is one of the best things an Indian did this year and most of the country will never hear about it.

@NIKHILLJHA What are your views on ICICI Elevate policy?

[Karthik 🇮🇳 @beastoftraal]

'Men will be men' with a wonderful twist!

For the Swiss retailer Migros, agency Thjnk Zürich takes a refreshingly unconventional approach to showcasing fresh produce.

The most predictable route would have been to feature two mothers competing to pack the most imaginative, healthy lunchbox for their kids. But that trope is tired, and wouldn't have made a dent at all. In fact, if it were two mothers, the narrative would probably lean into them exchanging recipes and happily shopping at Migros together.

Instead, by putting two dads in the arena, the ad unlocks a hilarious, hyper-competitive dynamic. What starts as a simple lunchbox comparison quickly spirals into an absurd arms race of food art with cucumber crocodiles and carrot race cars to an all-out gourmet standoff at a neighborhood barbecue.

It’s the petty, silent game of oneupmanship between the dads that makes the ad memorable, all while seamlessly driving home the brand's message: they have the widest range of fresh produce to fuel any culinary ambition.

The lack of awareness some of us have about our surroundings is sad.

Clinic waiting rooms: loud phone calls about deals & family affairs. Zero sensitivity to others who are unwell.

Airport lounges: Zoom meetings on speaker, 2 feet from strangers.

Business class: I was recently "trapped" with an affluent family shouting across aisles, sharing snacks, endless selfies. Just 2 of us not in the group.

Not brash youngsters. Mid-life, successful Indians.

We’re known for our hospitality. Guests to our homes are often treated like royalty.

But strangers we share public space with? Couldn’t be bothered. I think it's a concept of "shared space" vs "no one's space". Clearly most of us choose the latter.

Societal change will take forever. Stricter rules + actual enforcement would fix half of it today.

@kushanmitra Please try - Pho , if you get time. It's available in Vegan, Chicken & other meat options.
