18 women in Nagpur, Maharashtra complained about kidney problems to their doctors in the span of two years. Doctors saw a pattern and checked that all of them were using this pakistani cream sold by many Instagram pages and meesho.

FDA Maharashtra took the cream samples. Sent to lab and found out that it has 752x mercury present in it above the legal limits. yes, 752x.

Yes, This mercury (poison in this case) can make you goree in 15 days because it blocks the cell that makes melanin. But in reality thats a chemical damage that looks like fairness. And guess what, our skin absorbs mercury and keeps getting deposited in kidney all the time.

I know you might not be using this cream or meesho, but please check around, especially with your house help and your family members back in hometown, if they are using this cream, please ask them to throw it RIGHT AWAY!!!

Two years ago Thailand did this. A far stronger India wouldn’t in a thousand years. Because while others have political will, India has excuses.

“Babu corrupt.”
“Too much population.”
“Poor vendors, no steady income.”
“Casteist.”
“Fascist.”

Yada yada yada…

To be frank , her objective assessment of risk to herself is spot on. She's a rich woman and this is India. There's almost no chance she will be hanged. A far poorer Sonam Raghuvanshi managed to come out within a year.

She will probably come out soon, get a new passport and move to some foreign country. After a few years, maybe even a Netflix limited series.

[Praveen @Praveen13299961]

@karthik2k2 within a year she will be out and put entire blame on her boyfried or try to prove it as an accident and marry a third person and live happily there after …. but there is no chance that she will serve more than 1-1.5 years in jail in her entire life time

[WHY IS TRUMP HITTING INDIAN SHIPS]

So here’s something right off the bat: MT Settebello is technically not an Indian ship but Palauan. Under international maritime laws, a ship’s nationality is its flag. This one carried Palau’s, even though much of its crew was Indian.

Behind the scenes it could be owned by an Indian, who knows. You might ask why, but a bigger why is...what is a commercial ship doing in troubled waters anyway? Who is even insuring them? Without insurance, it’s too much risk for too little to gain.

And the answer is “shadow fleet.”

These are vessels explicitly used to smuggle sanctioned payload, in this case Iranian oil. The people who own and operate them aren’t making some innocent miscalculation about safety, but deliberately attempting to run a military blockade for massive financial gain.

While legitimate, mainstream shipping companies are avoiding Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman, the shadow fleet operates by an entirely different set of rules.

First, as we just noted, is obscured ownership. They use complex webs of shell companies and “flags of convenience” like Palau or Guinea-Bissau to hide the true identities of the shi’s owners and charterers. That’s why I said, Settebello is TECHNICALLY Palauan, but behind the scene...you never know.

Second rule pertains to insurance. Mainstream ship insurers, the P&I clubs, would not cover vessels violating sanctions, especially American. But shadow fleets rely on obscure, non-Western insurers to bypass this issue...or depending on how shady they are, can even operate with no legitimate liability coverage at all.

And finally, it’s about the assets, both man and machine. Shadow fleets typically use aging, end-of-life vessels. Settebello is 29 years old. If a ship is seized or disabled, the financial hit to the owners is minimal compared to the profits of a successful run.

Why?

Because the bigger the risk, the lower the competition and bigger the incentives. Pure economics.

Because of the blockade, the premiums paid to transport Iranian oil have shot through the roof. These shadow owners stand to make astronomical profits on a single successful voyage, which makes them highly willing to risk an old ship.

But there’s still a method involved, it’s not all casino betting. To the best of their capability, they still do what it takes to evade detection.

To get past the blockading Navy, these ships don’t broadcast their intentions. They rely on what the industry calls “dark transits.”

This involves turning off their Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders so they disappear from public tracking screens. In the current context, shadow fleet ships have been attempting to skirt the rocky, busy coastline of Oman at night, hoping to slip through the alternative corridors undetected.

But all this comes at a human cost.

Ultimately, the people deciding to run the blockade are sitting safely in offices far away, while the crew members, often sourced from countries like India, bear all the physical risk.

While international maritime guidance strongly advises ship masters to refuse orders into the Gulf of Oman without explicit written authorization and clear insurance guarantees, crew members on shadow fleet vessels are often heavily pressured by their employers to comply. They are ordered into the crosshairs of the blockade by owners who are willing to gamble the lives of the crew for a lucrative payday.

The blockade was announced well in advance. CENTCOM has publicly stated that the ship was targeted only “after the crew repeatedly failed to comply with directions from American forces.”

Sure, America could be lying. But the other party is literally a shadow fleet of smugglers employing crew from the Third World as an expendible asset knowing full well the potentially fatal consequences of sailing into the Strait. If it’s A’s word against B, excuse me for siding with the not-smugglers.

At any rate, the price is paid by innocent young men who only hoped to make a decent paycheck and return home to their families. Men who have nothing to do with either the hustle or the war.

Never go cheap on the things that stand between you and the world:

1.Footwear – They carry your entire life’s weight. Bad shoes slowly tax your knees, hips, and spine.
https://t.co/sMmcz37Flk – You drink it daily. Cheap coffee doesn’t just taste bad, it treats your body like a dustbin.
3.Mattress – You spend one-third of your life on it. A bad mattress quietly ruins your back and sleep.
4.Partner – This is the person who will shape your peace or destroy it. Choose character over convenience.
https://t.co/IlvBn7qu6e – Bargain hunting in healthcare is the most expensive mistake people make.
https://t.co/d0UtW3T7Nm – Knowledge compounds for decades. Shortcuts here show up as limitations later.

Some things are purchases.
These are life foundations.

Choose carefully.

As you look at the horrific pictures of the bombed Iranian school…

Pause for a minute and think..

Indian Air Force and the Army were given 2 and 7 terror targets respectively to hit on the night of May 6-7 in Op Sindoor…

Each was fully destroyed…

On the morning of May 8, the IAF carried out extensive air defence suppression using long-range kamikaze drones…

On May 9-10 the IAF targeted 14 PAF bases or radar stations/missile batteries…

Destructive evidence of almost all these strikes cane up in satellite pictures…

All strikes were carried out by precision munitions from long distances…

Not one missed aim or strayed to harm civilians… no school, no village or city, no hospitals. None…

This despite not having a fraction of the US military weapons, sensors or surveillance ability…

And in a furiously contested air space against near-peer PAF and its Chinese air defences…

Let’s give credit where due. To our armed forces in this case…

[Revant Himatsingka “Food Pharmer” @foodpharmer2]

Have a break but don’t have a KitKat because

I compared a KitKat sold in Australia with one sold in India, and the numbers are sadly not surprising.

The Australian version contains:

-Milk solids – 20%
-Cocoa – 22%
-Added sugar – 21.7g

The Indian version contains:
-Milk solids – 16.1%
-Cocoa – 4.5%
-Added sugar – 28.9g

Indians are getting a significantly inferior version compared to Kit-Kat abroad. This is not just limited to the Kit-Kat but most packaged food items like Cerelac, Lays etc.

This is because of 3 reasons.

1.India is a price-sensitive country, and as a result companies put low quality ingredients. But costing alone doesn’t explain the full picture.

2.Our regulations are weak and they don’t prevent companies from giving us inferior products.

3.We as consumers do not question what we’re being served. That is exactly why I started Label Padhega India. Because unless we read and ask, nothing changes.

Companies rarely change because they feel guilty. Companies change if consumers unite and ask for it.

So it’s our responsibility, together, to speak up and make sure our voices are heard.

Let’s Make India Healthy Again.

A 25-year-old biker died after falling into a pit in Delhi’s Janakpuri 😢

The victim, Kamal, worked as an Assistant Manager at HDFC Bank.

According to his family, he was returning home late Wednesday night.

He told his family that he would reach within 10 minutes.

Soon after, Kamal’s phone kept ringing, but there was no response.
