#SOS: The CASR has noted that officers in plain clothes have abducted these students and activists, taken them to an unknown location in a black Scorpio. Does policing now include "Enforced Disappearances" @CPDelhi?
Why is the @DelhiPolice acting like a local goon? Some of these activists have been subjected to torture in the past. The same may happen to them this time as well.
The Police's ILLEGAL action not just violates their fundamental rights but also causes immense suffering because they will be tortured. Or is the Delhi Police going to take this a step further and order summary execution, like what happens in Pakistan? Surely it will be a great achievement and bring laurel to the Commissioner.
Will the Delhi Police officers who are resorting to such illegal, deplorable, unbecoming conduct pay for the injuries and mental harassment being subjected to them? It is a fit case for the Supreme Court or the Delhi High Court to take suo-motu cognisance! Why are these powers vested with them otherwise?

Dheer was the only child of his parents, visiting his maternal grandparents in Jaipur and went out for a drive with his father. He took his head out from the sunroof to look at the flying kites and his throat was slit by a manjha.
This is really tragic. I often see kids with their heads out of sunroofs travelling in India and always feel scared for them. We don’t have the space or the roads for indulging in such activities and feel this is a very western concept suitable for developed countries. A word of caution to every parent out there who love to take their children for a joyride, please be very careful as a moment of carelessness can scar you for life. 💔

4. There is no "healthy alcohol"
5. Ashwagandha does not reduce stress or help you sleep
6. Shilajit is a resinous piece of rock that does not benefit male sexual health
7. Turmeric in milk does not get beneficially absorbed in body and is lost in stool
8. You can consume fruits anytime during day or night
9. Sugarless black coffee at least 3 cups is good for fatty liver disease

11. Eight glasses of water a day is a myth
12. Pure whey protein supplementation to target recommended higher protein intake is safe for liver and kidneys
13. Magnesium supplements don't help you sleep

17. Consumption of dairy along with fruits is perfectly fine
18. Yoga does not help you lose weight

21. Here are some liver supplements that you are wasting time and money on - Milk thistle, TUDCA and S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe)
22. The liver detoxes you, you don't detox the liver

To
The People of India,
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation @mybmc
Respected Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis @Dev_Fadnavis
Hon. Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi @narendramodi
I am not an activist. I am not here to fight or tear anyone down. I am writing to you as a citizen of our country, a fellow Indian, with a basic yet fundamental right—the right to clean air.
Every day, I see people around me in Mumbai getting sicker. I feel it in my own body too. The air we breathe is no longer just air—it is harming our lungs, our hearts, and our future. We cannot ignore this any longer.
Today, I have a humble yet urgent plea to our Respected Chief Minister, our Honorable Prime Minister, and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. Please reconsider the allocation of funds for something the city does not need right now.
Mumbai does not need a giant Ferris wheel. What we need—what we desperately need—is clean air.
I appeal to every citizen of India, to parents, educators, and school principals. You know absenteeism in schools is rising. You see children struggling with breathing issues, missing out on their education and their childhood. I appeal to doctors, who witness the growing number of patients with respiratory illnesses. Pediatricians, you know how many young children are suffering from asthma and lung infections caused by polluted air.
To personal trainers, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts—I ask you to pause and reflect. We encourage people to exercise, to run, to train for a healthier life. But what happens when they do this in toxic air? Are we truly helping them, or are we unknowingly harming them?
This is also a heartfelt appeal to nutritionists, doctors, wellness experts, and health influencers. You know that food and medicine alone cannot fix this. No superfood, no supplement, no treatment can undo the damage that breathing polluted air does to our bodies every single day.
And to celebrities, athletes, and people with influence—your voice matters. You have the power to bring attention to this crisis. Let us use our platforms not just for endorsements but for a cause that impacts every single Indian. Let us urge our leaders to focus on what we truly need as human beings.
We cannot afford to be mere bystanders anymore. This is not resilience. This is a slow surrender.
We have children and aging parents struggling to breathe. We have newborns taking their first breaths of air that should never enter fragile lungs. The future of our health does not depend on just more medicine, more nutrition, or more meditation. It depends on the basics—the right to clean air, clean water, and clean food.
I do not claim to have all the answers. But I do know this—the money allocated for a Ferris wheel could be used to clean the air in our city.
This is not about fighting. This is about uniting. Hatred and anger will not solve this crisis, but our collective voice, our unwavering plea for change, will.
To every parent watching their child suffer, to every citizen who wakes up to a smog-filled skyline—speak up. Our voice matters.
During the COVID-19 pandemic when the nation rallied for health and wellness, Hon. Prime Minister, your amazing Fit India Movement @FitIndiaOff nominated me as the Wellness and Lifestyle Champion. Today, I carry that responsibility forward. My humble plea is that we need clean air, not just for fitness, but for a healthier, stronger, and cleaner India.
Let us not wait for another crisis to act. We are with you. Let's act together now.
With humility, respect, urgency, and hope,
Luke Coutinho

A firestorm of debate has ignited in India since I walked off a podcast due to the poor air quality.
Indians, organize yourselves and take action. You will do more to improve India’s health by cleaning up the air than by curing cancer.
My elderly and unwell parents are facing unbelievable mental, financial and physical harassment from @careinsuranceIN to whom they pay high annual premium since 2023. My mother, insured under Care, was hospitalised at Fortis with severe breathing problems on 20 January on urgent
it's is so mundane to talk about the state of the roads in our country when we are unable to save our children from being put directly into harms way.
Would you be okay with dipping your 7-8 month old in a soup of toxic chemicals and industrial waste ??
Devastating.
