Heartiest congratulations my friend @realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory. As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership. Together, let’s work for the betterment of our people and to promote global peace, stability and prosperity.
It is now officially ELECTION DAY! This will be the most important day in American History.
Voter enthusiasm is THROUGH THE ROOF because people want to Make America Great Again. That means lines are going to be long!
I need you to deliver your vote no matter how long it takes. STAY IN LINE!
The Radical Communist Democrats want you to pack up and go home.
Together, we are going to have a tremendous victory and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Rafa, one post is not enough to express the respect I have for you and what you have done for our sport. You have inspired millions of children to start playing tennis and I think that’s probably greatest achievement anyone can wish for. Your tenacity, dedication, fighting spirit is going to be taught for decades. Your legacy will live forever. Only you know what you had to endure to become icon of tennis and sport in general.
I met Jigish in 2007 when we were preparing for our medical entrances. He went to JIPMER, then I went to Manipal. Distance was never an issue. He would stay in touch and he made sure you also stay in touch with him; he knew how to maintain and cherish friendships. Wherever he went in no time he made a huge number of friends. (Doon school -> KOTA->JIPMER->AIIMS Jodhpur -> AIIMS Delhi ) I am not talking about superficial friendship, actual friendship. He would be a go-to person for personal, professional and in general all life issues. He was a foodie, loved to travel, read and enjoyed life and work.
Professionally, words will fall short to say about him. He was an all-time ranker and achiever. Effortlessly hardworking, full of skills, always a learner and more so, always ready to teach. He enjoyed each and every phase of life. Preparation, MBBS, internship and residency. He made a mark wherever he went. People who knew him will know and undoubtedly agree to this. Fortunately, we were again colleagues when he joined AIIMS Delhi in 2022.
In October 2022, he was diagnosed with cancer. It took a day or two for him to process the news. He underwent surgery then chemo and radiation therapy. His struggle with cancer was no less than a uphill battle. Yet, he would resume his duties. When he couldn’t perform surgeries, he would do his research. With little more strength, he would observe surgeries, but he NEVER gave up. Even when serial PET scans showed new lesions after multiple treatments, he would be ready for further treatment options. He was done with his training, he could have easily gone back home, rested, taken a break. But he wanted to learn, he wanted to operate, he wanted to save lives. He continued to present his research at conferences, achieved scholarships, awards. He joined back AIIMS, Jodhpur and until last month he continued to do surgeries. He would take chemo, and immediately go back to do his OPDs or other work. His last PET scan in July showed significant resolution, and we all were a bit relieved that this long battle will soon come to a halt. We started our coaching together and were ending our journey in academic institutes on the same day i.e. 21st August.
Nonetheless, life can be cruel. On 22nd August 2024, he went to do a repeat X ray before leaving for Jamnagar for good but things took a downhill course. He got himself admitted and eventually knew his course of illness. He started giving off responsibilities to his younger sister. He knew what lied further and wished to go back to Jamnagar, which is a 12-hour long journey. He didn’t give up till he reached home. Trust me, the ambulance journey with nor-ad and O2 was no joke. He was a fighter till the end, holding up.. The amount of pain that he endured, yet so gracefully is unmatched. Yesterday on 16.09.24 we lost him.
We were 3 of us. From 2007 until now. (Jigish, Swati and I) There was nothing that we would not and could not share with each other. A void that has been created will only deepen with time. When you lose someone so close and untimely, a part of your soul gets crushed which is beyond repair.
A great son, brother, friend, neurosurgeon and above all a great human.

The Suicide of Dr Navdeep Singh should make everyone question about what is so horrifically wrong with the medical system of the country that this profession has become number 1 in terms of suicides !
He was a doctor who secured “AIR 1 IN NEET UG 2017”
He was currently doing MD Radiology from India’s top MAMC
He cracked all the exams and phases that requires excessive Mental strength and physical well-being at both academic and personal level
Despite knowing that healthcare professionals are often in the state of mental health apocalypse why
•There is no monthly check of Mental health !
• No strict Grievances portals and immediate action on it !
• No health-line number for doctors health !
India which is already lacking specialist doctors should understand it’s a national loss because of incompetency of the organisations and govt to implement strong mental health guidelines
It’s a collective failure of all !

We’ve made history — 1 BILLION followers! This is more than just a number - it’s a testament to our shared passion, drive, and love for the game and beyond.
From the streets of Madeira to the biggest stages in the world, I’ve always played for my family and for you, and now 1 billion of us stand together.
You’ve been with me every step of the way, through all the highs and the lows. This journey is our journey, and together, we’ve shown that there are no limits to what we can achieve.
Thank you for believing in me, for your support, and for being part of my life. The best is yet to come, and we’ll keep pushing, winning, and making history together.
Yes we need to evolve into a society where we ALL feel equally safe. But that is going to take decades. It’s going to hopefully happen with sensitizing and empowering our sons and daughters. The next generations will be better. We will get there. Eventually. But what in the interim ? Right now justice would be to put a hard stop to such atrocities. And the only way to do that is a punishment so harsh that it scares the living daylights out of such perpetrators. That’s what we need. Perhaps ?
I stand with the victim's family in seeking justice for their daughter and I stand with all the Doctors that were attacked last night.
Incidents like Nirbhaya and the RG Kar Hospital case are also opportunities for influencers and creators to make posts, poems, cartoons, graphics, and quotes to shame men and the country.
While I don't mind people's freedom to express anger in whatever way they want, it won't really help in reducing rape cases. Your thoughts will resonate with those who already respect women and feel anger when such incidents happen. Such men don't commit crimes against women.
On the other hand, those who do feel no shame. They don't care about your posts, messages, poems, or creatives, or being "ashamed as a man/society/Indian." They'll rape at the next given opportunity. Such people are not fit to live among us.
If you genuinely want such crimes to stop, advocate for swift justice, call for castration as a form of punishment, demand capital punishment, seek the abolition of mercy petitions in rape cases, and protest when courts show leniency toward rapists with nonsense philosophies like "every sinner has a future." Oppose those who advocate for human rights for criminals.
