MASSIVE :

Seeing Public Outrage, BJP is all set to make Gyanesh Kumar a scapegoat to save themselves from the crime of election rigging.

Godi Media reporters have already been given a toolkit to carefully target him while not naming the BJP.

Don’t get distracted, Gyanesh is just a pawn, real culprits are those two sitting with all the power at the top.

Before 2014, Newspapers used to come up with some explosive News Breaks. It used to become Prime Time Headline on TV. Then TV Channels used to run parallel investigations to cover more angles and proof. Now TV Channels come with Exclusive “Top Sources” to defend Government

[Saket Gokhale @SaketGokhale]

Explosive investigation by Indian Express.

Amit Shah & Gyanesh Kumar are running the ECI as their personal kingdom.

Turns out even the two other Election Commissioners have strongly fought against how voters are being deleted & elections are being rigged.

This is not Crass, poor taste, bad jibe etc no matter how much it riles BJP leaders or Godi journalists who are seething. Some can think it was not funny enough, which is fine. But this clip is a powerful Story in itself. There was a time when in Prime Time slots on Television there used to be Skits mocking Ex PM Dr Manmohan Singh. Some were funny, some were not. But it was accepted. That changed after 2014. Anyone mocking Narendra Modi became unacceptable and almost a crime. It was not possible certainly on Prime Time or in front of large Audience. Rare people like Kunal Kamra persisted and also paid huge price for it. Even 3-4 Years back this wouldn’t have been possible. Even this original viral clip of this comedian was censored by Government. Then things changed. After being threatened for years, people have finally lost their fear. That’s how we saw in Jantar Mantar the most viral Clip - Chhota Bandar. People have realised what he is and fearlessly say it. This is why this segment can be performed in Open Stage and thousands are laughing fearlessly. Now people are not scared. And My Phrenddd - That is the powerful message.

Ms. Rachel announces she’s matching Macklemore’s $1 million donation in support of Palestine:

“I will match Macklemore's donation and I invite every wealthy white celebrity to match it and speak out against the genocide in Gaza.

Over 20,000 precious Palestinian children have been killed and children continue to be killed every day.

We have a moral obligation to use our privilege and platforms to protect children and human rights.”

[Pop Base @PopBase]

We are joining Macklemore in donating to the people of Palestine with another $10,000 to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, which will help aid families amid the ongoing genocide.

We encourage our followers & anyone with the means to join if they can: https://t.co/XXt2rHaCvl

If you bought tickets to ed Sheerans concert:

They’re not allowing refunds- however banks are approving chargebacks due to " not getting what purchased" as in macklemore is not performing anymore. Get your money back. Donate it to Gaza instead.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan are career-best performance by Salman bhai and even deserving of national award.

All three remaining opening acts and Ed Sheeran’s touring band have announced that they are dropping out of the remaining dates of his ‘Loop’ tour in solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore.

The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all.

A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue.

A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310.

These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it.

The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored.

A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone.

We Indians have a strange relationship with the police. None of us have met an honest cop. We know they are all corrupt and incompetent to the core. We avoid police stations like the plague. And yet when police kill a guy in an ‘encounter’, we are sure that the guy deserved it.

Indian non-vegetarian food is delicious. As are my sister's chole bhature.
