JUST IN: Mt. Everest guides accused of “poisoning” climbers to trigger helicopter rescues as part of an insurance scam.

The guides have allegedly been lacing hikers' food and pressuring them into taking expensive rescue helicopter evacuations.

"Guides with the trekking agencies allegedly poisoned tourists by putting baking soda in their food to trigger severe gastrointestinal distress that mimicked altitude sickness or food poisoning," the New York Post reports.

Operators would allegedly then forge medical documents and flight documents to charge international travel insurers.

According to police, the groups have received $19.69 million in insurance payouts.

Police in Nepal have charged 32 individuals for organized crime and fraud, including trekking company owners, helicopter operators, and hospital executives.

Health insurance in India: Premium up, claims down

• Four out of 10 health-insurance policyholders faced full or partial claim rejection without any valid reason being provided.

• Five out of 10 policyholders who filed claims between 2023 and 2025 waited between six and 48 hours for discharge because their cashless claims were pending insurer approval.

• More than seven out of 10 respondents said premiums rose cumulatively by 50% to 200% over the past three years.

We now have evidence that gentle parenting doesn’t work.

Here’s an uncomfortable truth about parenting no one wants to say out loud:

The data is not kind to gentle parenting.

According to teenagers, strict curfews. strict bedtimes, screen limits, device drop off times, dedicated homework blocks, and sleepover restrictions IMPROVE higher relationship quality.

And yes, parenting difficulty goes up.

Of course it does. Leadership is harder than appeasement.

For the past decade we have been sold a watered down, Instagram friendly version of “gentle parenting” that often collapses into boundary avoidance, endless negotiation and emotional processing without enforcement. Parents terrified of saying no because they do not want to rupture connection.

But connection without authority is not connection. It is dependency.

When parents impose structure, the relationship improves.

Teenagers report better parent child relationship quality in homes with curfews and rules. Younger kids report better relationships in homes with screen limits and bedtimes. Even device drop off times correlate positively.

Why?

Because structure is not cruelty. Structure is love made visible.

A bedtime says: your brain matters more than your entertainment.

A screen limit says: your dopamine system is not fully developed and I will guard it until it is.

A curfew says: your safety matters more than your social standing.

That is not authoritarianism. That is caring.

Boundaries create friction. Friction creates growth. The parent absorbs the short term discomfort so the child does not pay the long term cost.

Children do not experience well calibrated limits as rejection. They experience them as stability. The human brain craves predictability. Predictability reduces anxiety. Reduced anxiety strengthens attachment.

That is why relationship quality goes up.

Notice something else in the data. The strongest effects are around time structure. Bedtime. Homework. Devices. Outside play. These are environmental constraints. They scaffold executive function.

The winning formula is not tyranny.

It is high warmth plus high structure.

The modern failure mode is high warmth plus low structure. That is just abdication of responsibility wrapped in empathy.

Children need leadership, not negotiation. They need adults who can tolerate their anger. They need boundaries that do not move every time emotions spike. They need someone whose prefrontal cortex is fully myelinated.

The harder path produces the stronger bond.

Because when a child feels that someone is strong enough to hold the line, they relax. And relaxed nervous systems build durable relationships.

Govt underspending in healthcare is making health insurance unaffordable.

Here's the chain reaction nobody talks about:

Not enough affordable hospitals.
At the same time insanely growing demand for quality healthcare.

This gap attracts top PE firms to invest in India's biggest hospital chains.

Immediate effect of PEs controlling hospitals is a sharper focus on "Average Revenue per Bed."
Which means higher hospital bills.
Which means healthcare inflation.

And oh yes of course - there's no regulation on hospital billing across states.

All this takes a hit on the profitability of insurance companies.

So, they hike premiums.

Now, the only hope that can break this chain reaction is insurance companies collectively negotiating with hospitals

I know I am being optimistic here, but GIC( an industry body of non life insurers) is attempting this, and if there's one thing worth hoping in this broken system, it is this.

Meanwhile, be prepared with a Super Topup combo in your health insurance portfolio, because in the next 10 years "base plans that cover you from zero" are likely to become unaffordable.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Dr. Erica Komisar just said what many parents whisper but few say out loud: Modern schools are built for girls, not boys—and we’re paying a steep price.

Little boys (ages 3–6) surge with testosterone. They need to run, jump, play, burn energy.
Instead, we sit them in circle time, demand emotional regulation, and label normal boy behavior as ADHD or “behavioral problems.”

Result? Marginalized, stressed, diagnosed early, and tracked that way through school.

Her fix if she ran the world:
Separate boys and girls in the early years.
Boys get multiple recess periods, short focused bursts, and space to move.
Girls get a calmer environment where they feel safe taking STEM/math risks.
Both thrive when not forced into the opposite gender’s learning style.

Single-gender early education: Boys try art/music without teasing. Girls try science without self-consciousness.
Evidence already shows it works.

Parents/teachers: Do you see boys struggling more in today’s classrooms—or is this overblown?
What’s one change you’d make to education for boys right now?

STOP SUSPENDING AND START PROSECUTING.

I am tired of the "Suspension" headline.

Suspension is a paid vacation. Suspension is a PR tactic to quiet the noise while the family of Kamal Dhyani mourns.

A 25-year-old man didn't just "fall into a pit." He was swallowed by a system that refuses to see us as human beings.

Kamal’s brother went to six different police stations. SIX.

He begged for help while Kamal’s phone was still ringing. He was told to "wait until 11 AM."

While the Delhi Police were quoting protocols and checking their watches, a young life was passing away in the mud just a few hundred meters away.

In India, negligence is not treated as a crime when a government stamp is involved.

Section 304A (Death by Negligence) is a bailable offense. It’s a slap on the wrist.

Why isn't this Section 304 (Culpable Homicide)?

If you leave a 15-foot hole open on a dark road, you know it is likely to cause death.

Under Section 197 of the CrPC, you can’t even prosecute these officials without government permission.

The system protects its own. It uses our tax money to hire lawyers to defend the people whose laziness killed us.

Just like the Noida tragedy, where a techie died while begging for help, they will wait for the news cycle to change.

They will wait for us to forget Kamal like we are already forgetting Yuvraj Mehta, the engineer who drowned in a Noida pit just weeks ago.
