My daughter eats 2 boiled eggs regularly from the age of one, also chicken and tall glass of milk. When chicken is not available she eats 4-5 whole eggs. This was her at the age of 9.
Eggs from unmarried single hen should be marketed differently going by your earlier video. And if we enforce some humane treatment of them in general instead of bunching them up in cages and letting them get themselves in the heat while awaiting slaughter, perhaps more may be persuaded to change their diet
The rage in Mumbai is everywhere. It's always been there. It's just that exploding takes much less now. Local trains? Super dense crush load. Since forever. Roads? Chaos. No one follows traffic laws. We traded that, first for half hour pizza then 10 minutes kanda. You can't solve this. You can only say Spirit of Mumbai.
Im at the Frankfurt Airport for a 10 hr layover.
I have been traveling around for years but now it feels different.
The hate for India and Indians is at peak and we subconsciously feel every one is hating on us.
It's been 3 hrs now, I noticed a fellow brown colored human being who took a flight with me from Dublin. Humble clothing, unkempt face, a ragged backpack and a faded jacket. Something told me this man was poor. Most ppl were either looking at him with a judgmental look that I hate or avoiding him completely.
I saw him looking at the food menu at different outlets, the cheapest I guess.
My heart ached for him, he could be a hard working brother who hasn't come to terms with spending Euros yet.
I have brought extra food with me. I walked up to him with my parcel of food, I asked, "Aap Dublin se aaye hain?"
He smiled and answered- "Ji."
Then I asked, "Kahan ja rahe hain?"
"Karachi, Paxtaan!' He said, beaming.
I turned around and walked back to my chair.
Jaa mar!!
Loll. Before I came to the USA, my husband was eating a Chipotle chicken bowl for lunch, 8 eggs and avocado for breakfast, and fish for dinner daily. 6 months after I came here we both got our blood work done for the annual checkup. My protein level was higher than him though I was not an egg eater.
He was surprised and then gradually stopped eating non-veg. I cooked eggs for a year for his breakfast, then he stopped eating eggs at home too.
Now he eats eggs only on the beach trip where he doesn't find veg option. And he is having a better and fitter athletic body rn.
With veg diet, his allergy too got reversed.
I’m no “policy wonk” but if I’m sending my kids to govt school because they will get a full meal there, I won’t argue on where the protein comes from. Same way I would embrace a new ideology that comes with a bag of rice to keep us alive.
Mid Day meal cost -
China = $2
Denmark = $5
USA = $5
UK = GBP 4
Aus =$5
NZ=$3
Thailand = $1.1
India= 15 cents
If you want non veg in mid day meals, pay more taxes but you will whine about that too.
This clown again proves - When Jains eat meat, their brains begin to rot
That’s how i started eating egg Bhurjee and sukat chutney, went to one of the conservative schools in Pune in the 90s.
Thankfully my kids school doesn’t interfere in what kids bring beyond primary school. But then there are kids who follow Shravan and what not in 2026🤷♀️
I went to a Marathi school. We could carry anything in our tiffins. I would frequently take eggs. Friends would get chicken (that's where I first relished it). Same in college.- "only vegetarian food in tiffin" is construct of modern times
It definitely is food imposition!
Most people whining about lack of eggs have never run an organization. Veg/Non Veg segregation is a logistical nightmare for a project of this scale.
Also Govt is under no obligation to help you meet your (expensive) protein goals.
If you want eggs/meat please eat them at home.
NCERT has named its language textbooks after rivers of India. The name “Krishna” is named after the Krishna River. The Hindi textbook has been named as “Ganga”, the English textbook has been named as “Kaveri”, and the Urdu textbook has been named as “Jamuna” (Yamuna). Similarly, the Kannada textbook has been named as “Krishna” as it is one of the major rivers flowing in Karnataka.
A balanced diet has been covered in Chapter 6 of this textbook. It is also covered under a separate heading, ‘Balanced Diet’ on page 63. The illustrative image given on page 63 includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food items. Nowhere in the textbook is vegetarianism explained or justified, nor is non-vegetarian food opposed.
Good morning. This is urgent, for public information.
The second paper on cow research funded using India's public money under the SUTRA-PIC (Scientific Utilization through Research Augmentation - Prime Products from Indigenous Cows program) has undergone exhaustive post-publication peer review.
The paper was published in Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology last year. The authors are from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) BHU-Varanasi and Birla Institute of Technology (BITS)-Pilani.
This is the paper: https://t.co/InN4H9safh
This study was done in Uttar Pradesh and the total amount of public money given was INR 31,04,162. The authors studied cow urine of different breeds and found "special" components in the cow urine that they claim will have major use applications in healthcare, technology and engineering.
They are wrong. The paper is a third-rate publication with poorly performed and grossly misinterpreted and falsified results of basic analytical chemistry. An official email for Expression of Concern and investigation into scientific integrity has been mailed to: @SpringerNature Ethics Team and Journal Editors-in-Chief (personal email) - Matthew P. DeLisa PhD
at Cornell University, Ye Ni PhD at Jiangnan University and Benedict Okeke PhD at Auburn University.
Here is the lay summary of the paper's forensic analysis:
Lab contamination has been (un)intentionally ignored by authors. The researchers mistook common lab contaminants, like plastic chemicals and solvents, for natural cow urine compounds. They failed to run basic control tests to catch these obvious errors.
Impossible chemicals claimed to be found in cow urine by authors. The paper claims to have found impossible synthetic chemicals in the urine, such as a banned pesticide, human prescription drugs, and toxic metals. This shows the authors blindly trusted computer software without checking if the results even made biological sense.
Fake health claims made by the authors. The authors boast about the amazing health benefits of over twenty different chemicals, claiming they fight cancer and bacteria. However, none of these specific chemicals were actually found anywhere in their own data or in the urine of various cows they tested.
Contradictory results are all over the place. The written text of the paper directly contradicts its own data tables. The researchers claim to have found certain groups of chemicals, like steroids, that are completely missing from their actual results.
Terrible referencing throughout the paper. The study's citations are completely mismatched, scrambled, and duplicated. They even cite unrelated plant studies and reviews on toxic chemicals to support their claims about the "benefits" of cow urine.
Zero statistics and flawed setup degrade the conclusions. The study lacks basic statistical analysis, sometimes testing as few as one cow per breed. They also failed to separate the cow's breed from its age, diet, or location, making their "breed-specific" conclusions totally invalid.
Misleading graphs are plastered all over. The graphs that are supposed to show specific, individual chemicals actually show messy mixtures of dozens of different compounds. These graphs look suspiciously identical to each other, raising serious concerns about image manipulation.
Thanks to the Government for destroying the scientific fabric and the rational temperament of its science instituitions. We wont forget.
My mother rarely asked me to do kitchen things as she didn’t like anyone messing it up and increase her load. And now that I have a daughter, i totally get her, I learned cooking on my own and i refuse to let anyone “help” me.
Last Sunday, I was visiting my cousin sister's family. She is 28, strong, independent, empowered, working in one of the FAANGs. After a long tiring fun day at the beach, we came back home.
After coming back, she crashed on the sofa, and asked her mom for a glass of water. Her Instagram bio says she is a proud feminist. She thinks household work is unpaid domestic labour. And it's better that she studied hard, is working and has a very good job now.
While we all were having conversations in the living room, her mother was busy in the kitchen cooking dinner. Apparently, my cousin sister loves mom's cooked food.
I was smiling inside on the irony of the situation.
On one hand, the daughter hates household work, calls it unpaid domestic labour and believes in shared domestic work between man & woman.
On the other hand, she herself is letting her mom (another woman) do that same unpaid domestic labour, calls it mom's love, offers no help (forgets about her own share). So, she is no different than a patriarchical husband.
And then, I thought, isn't this the same situation in most of the Indian households? Most of the strong, empowered, educated, working, single women, live in their father's home, enjoys the unpaid domestic labour of her mother, and personally wants to smash patriarchy (while herself enjoying the benefits of patriarchical system). How ironic!
A famous fertility specialist OB gynae couple in Thane had this type of set up. Two patients in his cabin at the same time. You could witness the hormone treatment explanation and exact days for “trying” being explained to hapless couples.
I find a very disturbing trend among doctors in Lucknow (don’t know about other cities) that has been normalised for years.
When you go for consultations, there are many patients already sitting in the room, waiting for their turn. When they talk to one patient about their case, everyone is listening in, and their most private details are public for everyone to hear.
This is a violation of basic courtesy. Doctors, please urgently reconsider this. Please do not do this. I am sitting right now in a doctor’s clinic for my daughter and cringing while I have to hear the personal details of every patient while we wait.

@JanhaviNilekani There’s no “we” here. Most of us don’t care.
Also it’s amply clear from your replies that you are conveniently ignorant about what motivates people to have kids.
