There really is NO comparison between Gurgaon and Noida.
Noida is superior in almost every metric that actually affects your routine daily life: roads, drainage, planning, traffic, public spaces, connectivity, basic infrastructure and general liveability.
Gurgaon is “better” at a few things: nightlife, restaurants, corporate glitz, perhaps the social scene. Great if those are your priorities. (Noida has improved).
But for the 'boring stuff; that determines whether a city makes your life easier or harder every single day, Noida wins comfortably. No competition.
Public memory is short. Few remember that 2005 saw 1300–1500 deaths due to encephalitis in eastern UP.
There was shock and anger because the numbers were unusually high. The scale drew global attention, with reports in international media and medical journals. Otherwise, many hundreds of deaths had been common in this region for decades, so much so that people had begun to accept it as part of life, and politicians largely looked the other way. This continued till 2017.
Then someone who was determined to change it took over. The new CM, Yogi Adityanath, himself from the affected region, made it a priority. The approach changed. Instead of treating encephalitis as an inevitable seasonal outbreak, the administration shifted focus to prevention, surveillance, and grassroots intervention.
Efforts ranged from strengthening hospitals and surveillance to addressing root causes through sanitation, clean water, vaccination drives, nutrition programs, and village-level health monitoring.
The results were striking. By 2024, encephalitis cases dropped to 116 and JE to just 5, with zero deaths reported. ZERO! A disease that defined eastern UP for decades has almost disappeared from the headlines.
This is one of the biggest public health success stories that did not receive the attention it deserved. Had this been achieved by states like Kerala or Bengal, it would have become a global story, with WHO and UNICEF showering awards and recognition. But since it is UP, it is quietly downplayed.
Amul the 80 year old trusted brand of Bharat has it's own testing lab and all the products undergo stringent quality checks before releasing into the Market.
But as soon as India refused to import the US dairy products, Amul Milk & Curd are labelled as extremely harmful by some You tuber & all media houses trusted his report blindly without even doing their independent tests.
This is how propaganda spreads.
India has gone from 9th to 3rd in scientific publications in the last 10 years, higher than every other developed country barring the US
This is a quiet revolution that will show results in another decade, which China is showing today
@theliverdoc I'm your long time follower on X and on Instagram. Recently a friend shared this study on coffee: https://t.co/QCwZ0bmwfQ that concludes with: "Daily drinking of more than three cups of coffee was associated with a significantly increased risk of MI." Your feedback please !!

Sir, @narendramodi and @jpnaddaoffice@fssai@mohfw, it's a national shame that FSSAI has consented to the request by JNTL(the Indian subsidiary of Kenvue which is a spin off of Johnson and Johnson) for a stay order to dispose of it's stock of high sugar ORSL!
Sir, not only now, in future also, except WHO recommended formula ORS, no sachet or tetrapack should be allowed in the pharmacies(including online), hospitals, and schools, as far as rehydrating medicines are concerned. ORS should never be allowed to be used on the labels except for WHO Recommended Formula ORS even if these liquids are being sold in the supermarkets and quick commerce platforms only! Trusting that you will ensure the October 15th order is implemented with urgency!
As a child, Sheetal Devi loved watching Sports Day, but she never joined—her mind echoing the doubts of others: “How can she?”Little did she know that one day, her story would prove her true worth.
Fast forward to the 2025 Para World Archery Championships: Sheetal claimed gold in the women’s compound individual event, defeating Turkiye’s top-ranked archer Oznur Cure Girdi 146-143.
Her journey isn’t just about medals—it’s about persistence, courage, and turning doubt into triumph.
“You’ll rise—not in spite of your challenges, but because of them,” she shared, speaking to her younger self.
And her message for every dreamer? Every fall, every challenge, every risk is a step toward your destiny.
Believe, fight, and dream—because one day, the world will cheer for you too, just like it does for Sheetal.

@FASTag_NETC Thanks. I've tried reaching out to IDFC on phone and whatsapp but nothing worked. Without my knowledge IDFC issued a new FastTag on my VRN resulting in NPCI disabling my valid Fasttag. As my mobile number is not registered with IDFC I am unable to get fraudulent FastTag blocked.

@IDFCFIRSTBank Hello @IDFCFIRSTBank There has not been any DM/reply from your side since this message. This is serious breach of KYC norms. How can some random person get a new FASTTAG on my vehicle without proper KYC verification. @NPCI_NPCI
