India has Chased 150+ Score in T20 Worldcup

Virat Kohli Won Player of the match Award in all those 3 matches (Scores : 72*, 82*, 82*)

Today, it’s time for someone to step up once again. 🔥

Only somewhat related,

19 out of 20 overs in the WI innings in the 2016 WT20 semi had a boundary. The only one which didn’t was bowled by Virat Kohli.

For years we thought the immune system was “autonomous.” It isn’t. It's controlled by nerves just like all the other organs. The vagus nerve sends signals that can switch inflammation on and off.

Grateful to our Paediatric Oncology team for making this happen: one of our children with an incurable cancer had two last wishes: meet MS Dhoni, and ride a @Lamborghini. Today, we could make one of these happen. If any of you have contacts with MSD, pls connect us.

Medical horror level: 10/10. 🤯

Imagine dying not because you got cancer, but because your tapeworm did.

​A @NEJM case report documented a man whose Hymenolepis nana parasite developed malignant stem cells. These tapeworm cancer cells then metastasized into the human host's lungs and lymph nodes.

​It’s the first known case of a parasite "sharing" its cancer with a human. Medicine is officially stranger than fiction

A LONG answer to this nonsensical post from an obstetrician who has more than 35 years doing the same and 32 plus in his own dedicated maternity home.
Let's unpack :
“Birth coaches, midwives, lactation consultants, nutrition coaches—all led by experienced gynecs.”
Stunning innovation. You’ve reinvented the hospital multidisciplinary team, slapped venture-backed branding on it, and marketed it to anxious women as salvation from a “rigged system.”
Let me decode your business model for those fluent in actual medicine:
“Preparation starting at 12-14 weeks” = Extracting maximum subscription revenue while the fetus is still doing somersaults and we haven’t even established placental position. At 14 weeks, I’m confirming viability. You’re apparently preparing women for delivery mode decisions that won’t be relevant for 24+ weeks. Impressive grift.
“Real ability to choose” = A marketing fiction that dissolves instantly when she presents with complete placenta previa, cord prolapse, fetal bradycardia, or CPD after 18 hours of labor. But sure, your “birth coaches” will handle that at 2 AM.
“Not just lip service while leaving them unprepared” = The breathtaking arrogance of claiming obstetricians with decades of experience are giving “lip service” while YOUR team armed with interviews of “a few hundred mothers” has cracked the code of human reproduction.
“This is how we make choice real” = This is how you make revenue real by selling false certainty to vulnerable women.
Here’s what you’re actually selling: the illusion that preparation prevents biology.
No amount of coaching changes:
∙Cephalopelvic disproportion
∙Placental abruption
∙Malpresentation at term
∙Fetal distress during labor
∙Vasa previa
∙Uterine rupture
∙Shoulder dystocia
Your model is built on a lie: that C-sections happen because women are “unprepared” rather than because medicine, not marketing, determines what’s safe.
I’ve delivered babies for 30+ years. Women who need C-sections aren’t failures of preparation, they have medical indications. Women who achieve vaginal births aren’t more “coached”, they have favorable anatomy and uncomplicated pregnancies.
You’ve discovered pregnant women experience anxiety about birth and desire control. Congratulations on this revelation. Your solution? Monetize that anxiety by selling “preparation protocols” that promise agency over biological processes they fundamentally cannot control.
When your premium-paying client needs emergency section at 39 weeks despite your elaborate 6-month “program,” what happens? Do you refund her?
Or does she internalize that she somehow “failed” to be prepared enough thus allowing you to profit from her trauma twice: once from the subscription fees, once from the psychological damage of believing she didn’t try hard enough?
This isn’t healthcare innovation, this is psychological exploitation with a wellness veneer.
If you actually cared about reducing unnecessary C-sections rather than building a startup, you’d advocate for:
∙Mandatory hospital-level outcome reporting
∙Medicolegal reform to reduce defensive medicine
∙Insurance restructuring to eliminate procedure-based incentive distortions
∙Evidence-based integration of midwifery models
But that’s boring systemic work that doesn’t scale or generate headlines.
Instead, you’re selling overpriced doula services to the urban elite while claiming to have revolutionized obstetrics armed with a few hundred interviews and the supreme confidence that only profound ignorance enables.
The medical profession has spent centuries understanding that birth is not a user experience to be optimized. It’s a profound biological event where safety sometimes requires intervention, where complications emerge despite perfect preparation, and where the pretense that “choice” exists in every scenario is a dangerous delusion.

The commentary is getting more and more annoying with a particular commentator only and only focussing on one player's strike rate in freaking ODIs and pushing his god-knows-what agenda always. Never seen him focussing on others like this.
