@PunsterX Even then a woman’s izzat was more important than a man’s life?

@MayankBhardwaj9 No Government company does this work?

@nachiket1982 @theskindoctor13 Actions have consequences. Here the action was: Many people were complaining that their cars were quite well after 15 years, why scrap them?

[Saikat Chakraborrty @csaikat22]

@theskindoctor13 At the very least, this so called doctor should be named and shamed

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

This girl is apparently a doctor, yet she is publicly mocking a cadaver.

A cadaver is not a prop, or an object for cheap humour. It is a human being who chose to donate their body for medical education and scientific advancement after death.

When students enter medical college and step into the dissection hall, they take a cadaveric oath, a solemn pledge that serves as a tribute to body donors. The cadaver is regarded as the student's "first teacher" to foster empathy, ethics, gratitude, and respect for human dignity.

During my first year of MBBS, our cadaver was a retired Brigadier. We treated him with dignity because we understood that we were learning from a person who had made a conscious, and rare in Indian society, decision for the benefit of future patients and future doctors.

Mocking a cadaver and making lewd remarks about the body's private parts is not edgy, funny, or bold. It reflects a complete failure to understand one of the most basic ethical principles taught in medicine: respect for human dignity, even after death.

It may or may not attract liability under the BNS, but it is unquestionably conduct that falls far below the ethical standards expected of a medical professional.

The @NMC_IND should take cognizance of this matter and ensure that such behaviour has consequences.

There was also a boy on the same show who made derogatory remarks about a girl who was apparently his date, and he is rightly facing the consequences of his actions. This girl should be held to the same standard.

I really fail to understand why people don’t switch to CNG. No chance of ethanol contamination there.

[Anuradha Tiwari @talk2anuradha]

I’m done with government damaging our precious cars with Ethanol experiments.

Neither opposition nor media cares.

I propose “Car Bandh Day”- one day a week when car owners don’t use their cars.

Demands are simple:
> An option for pure petrol
> Blended petrol at reduced prices

Nadir Shah won Delhi in 1739

Rumour spread that he has died and locals revolted. He woke up one day and decided it was the day to revenge

He slaughtered 30k people, raped every woman/girl they could find and enslaved lacs.

Mohd Shah had to beg to him to stop

Timur attacked Delhi in 1398. He killed over 100k in one day and looted everything including taking women and girls as slaves

But yes, tell me how municipalities not picking waste is a bigger damage to India!

[कुशल मेहरा @kushal_mehra]

Imagine if this person were an Indian. Imagine the hate this would have unleashed. Racists would have written essays on how they bring their culture here blah blah blah. But unfortunately, the person was not an Indian. So the answer this time will be the correct one, i.e., he was just a corrupt person who allegedly took a shortcut.

@japan_nobunaga I started following this guy because I found his takes on American life witty. Now I see he is nothing but a rabid racist and India hater. One India trained doctor messes up, and all are painted villains. Just shows that being witty doesn’t equate to being a good person.

[Dr. Deepessh Divaakaran (Dr. DD) @md_deepesh]

If bad luck was a person, It was Krishna.
Born in a prison cell.

With chains.
Cold walls.
And fear.

The West writes self-help books after one breakup and a weekend depression.

Krishna was born with a death warrant.

His own uncle wanted him dead.

He never drank his mother's milk.

Hours after birth,
his father carried him across a mad river at midnight.

Rain above.
Death behind.
Darkness ahead.

No burning bush.
No sea parting.
No miracle announcing salvation.
No therapist with scented candles.

Just survival.

Born a prince.
Raised a cowherd.

Before he could speak,
they sent Putana.

Then Shakatasura.
Trinavarta.
Kaliya.

One after another.

As if destiny hated him personally.

And he still smiled.

People today collapse over an unfollow.

He lost everything early.

His parents.
His childhood.
His home.

And Radha.

Ah, Radha.

The part Bollywood never understands.

His closest friend Sudama lived in poverty.
Krishna could not protect everyone he loved.

Shishupala insulted him publicly.
Again and again.
Before assembled kings.

Krishna listened calmly.

Then came Jarasandha.
17 invasions.
Mathura burned again and again.

Then came the greatest tragedy.

The Mahabharata.

Krishna tried to stop it.
He went himself.
He sat before Duryodhana.

Pleaded for peace.
Just 5 villages.
Duryodhana refused.

And humanity walked into hell smiling.

18 days later, rivers carried blood.
1.66 billion dead.

Think about that.

An entire civilisation collapsing into dust.

And Krishna carried that silence.

No lamentation carved into scripture.
No prophet demanding heaven explain itself.

Just silence.

Then Gandhari cursed him.
A grieving mother blamed him for everything.

Krishna accepted it.

That is spiritual strength.

Then came the final collapse.

His own clan destroyed itself.
Drunk. Violent. Mad.

The Yadavas killed each other.
His own son died in that chaos.

Krishna watched.

Because some endings cannot be stopped.

Then Dwarka sank.

His city.
His dream.
His life's work.

Gone beneath the waves.

And finally...

The man who was greatest strategist.
The man kings feared.
The man sages worshipped.

Died alone in a forest.
One arrow.
A hunter's mistake.

No throne.
No army.
No grand farewell.
No Resurrection.

Just silence beneath the trees.

And yet...
He is called the complete being.

Not because life was kind.
But because pain never poisoned him.

That is Krishna's greatness.

Not miracles.
Not powers.
Not mythology.

Life gave him suffering.
He gave life wisdom.

Life gave him betrayal.
He gave humanity the Gita.

Life gave him war.
He gave the world detachment.

And in the middle of chaos,
he left us one terrifying truth:

"You control your actions.
Never the outcome."

Krishna did not teach escapism.
He taught endurance.

He did not teach positivity.
He taught responsibility.

He taught how to stand inside hell,
without becoming hell yourself.

That is why he still smiles.

And maybe...

That is why Bharat still survives.

India’s fertility rate has gone below replacement. Two people aren’t producing two people to replace them.
Most metro couples are opting for just one kid. Not coz of a lifestyle choice, but sheer affordability.

Such is the school fees that having two kids is like having two home loans. The EMI for which will keep increasing. The love of the sibling is being replaced by a dog or the Internet. We are going to be old as a nation, before we get rich. Tough.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Police have arrested this cook who was preparing food in the kitchen of Hotel Flourish Stays, where the fire reportedly started.

Next, they should arrest the vegetable, grocery, and dairy suppliers. Had they not supplied ingredients that day, there would have been no cooking and no fire.

After that, they should arrest the farmers who grew the vegetables, the factory owners who produced the grocery items, and the cows that gave the milk.

Sabko pakad lena. Kisi ko mat chhodna. Except, of course, the officials whose job it was to inspect such establishments and flag safety violations before a tragedy occurred.

[Anthony Avon .Art @AnthonyAvonArt]

So stop it maybe? Who are you warning? I can't do anything, YOU are the UN.

[Historianunkil @SudsG5]

To any youngish 30 year old here, DO NOT WASTE A SINGLE NAYA PAISA on these dolts.

A once 30 year old in a fit of generosity and nationalism once donated ₹10,000 to AAP in 2012 and has since regretted it every day.

If you feel the urge? Just pranayama till it goes away

[Saikat Chakraborrty @csaikat22]

@zhr_jafri Being born?

[Shubhendu @BBTheorist]

Arrest that officer who came to do the fire inspection and went quietly after taking a bribe. Arrest that corrupt municipal official who gave the NOC to the building.
But that's not going to happen. This guy Bajaj will be in the news for a few days, and everyone will forget about the actual issue.

Corruption has become the national character of India.

Murder

[Piyush Rai @Benarasiyaa]

Note left behind by a NEET aspirant who killed herself

"Mom and Dad, you had faith that your daughter would study hard and become a doctor, but I no longer have the courage to take the NEET exam again. I was scoring good marks in my first attempt, but now there is no guarantee that I will perform well again. I am sorry, Mom and Dad. I have ruined everything."

As the fire was raging, people were ready to jump to escape the fire. This mattress shop guy, pulled out 20-22 new mattresses from his shop. Laid out on the road. And saved lives of absolute strangers. He knew nobody would pay him. Govt should compensate!

[Saikat Chakraborrty @csaikat22]

@SamSiff You got less than you deserved actually
