KEM Hospital in Mumbai, where MBBS student #SejalPawar studies, has ordered an inquiry into comments she made during comedian Pranit More's show after her remark about comparing the sizes of male cadavers' genitalia triggered widespread outrage.

Hospital sources said Pawar has submitted a written apology, but senior doctors remain upset over the remarks made publicly on social media. Sources said the issue has caused hurt within the medical fraternity because cadavers are donated for medical education and are regarded with the highest respect.

This is perhaps the most heavily paraded "gotcha" fact by armchair food historians. They absolutely love to smirk & tell us, "You know Jalebi is not Indian, right? It is a Persian dish called Zolbiya/Zalabiya brought by invaders in the medieval era!"

They mistake a linguistic corruption for the birth of a culinary concept. They confuse the trade name that eventually stuck with the actual evolutionary genealogy of the recipe. The entire liberal historian argument rests on 1 fragile pillar: the 10th century Arabic cookbook Kitab al-Tabikh, which mentions Zalabiya. They smugly point out that detailed Indian texts appear only in the 15th century & declare victory.

But here is the fatal flaw in their timeline trap: They mistake the date of the 1st surviving written recipe for the date of invention & popular practice. Ancient Indian texts were primarily medical & philosophical, they classified broad food principles, not every street vendor’s technique. The absence of a detailed halwai-style recipe earlier does not mean the dish did not exist. It means our ancestors did not write down casual street sweets the way later cookbooks did.

Technically, India had already mastered the 2 pillars that define real Jalebi centuries earlier: large-scale sugarcane crystallization into refined sarkara & syrup (perfected during the Gupta era) & the uniquely subcontinental art of lactic acid fermentation (khameer). These gave us the signature tangy, porous batter that aggressively absorbs syrup, something far superior to the honey-based versions in West Asia.

Our dish was referred to as Jalavallikā (from Jala meaning water/juice & Vallikā meaning a creeping vine/coil). It literally translates to "the juice-filled coil." Another classical name was Kundalikā (derived from Kundala, meaning a circular coil/ring, the exact same root used for Kundalini energy).

If Jalebi was some foreign royal import tied to Islamic court culture, why does it make its 1st formal appearance in Indian literature inside a strict, vegetarian Jain religious text? The Priyamkara-nrpa-katha, composed by the Jain author Jinasura in 1450 CE, describes an elaborate feast hosted by a wealthy indigenous merchant. Jalebi appears right alongside deeply traditional Indian sweets, already fully integrated into local high cuisine.

Shortly after, the 16th century Sanskrit text Bhojana Kutuhala by Raghunatha & the Gunyagunabodhini (pre-1600 CE) give the exact, unambiguous recipe for making Kundalikā: fermented fine flour batter, fried in pure desi ghee & immersed in flavored sugar syrup, 100% identical to what our local halwai does today.

Ancient Indian culinary science was obsessed with the sour-sweet axis (Amla-Madhura). The genius of Jalebi lies in leaving the batter to ferment naturally overnight. This lactic acid fermentation creates that perfect tangy, porous crust. When deep-fried in hot ghee & plunged into hot sugar syrup, a spectacular thermodynamic reaction occurs, the sour crust aggressively drinks up the sweet syrup. This mastery of fermented frying (khameer-pakwa) is uniquely subcontinental.

India was never a culinary blank slate waiting for outsiders to teach it how to fry flour in circles. When West Asian traders arrived, they encountered a popular, thriving local street sweet called Jalavallikā/Kundalikā. They had a similar (but inferior) fried sweet back home called Zalabiya, so over centuries of marketplace haggling the 2 names merged.

The shorter foreign name stuck in common parlance, but the dish itself, its technique, its fermentation, its syrup mastery, its crisp-yet-juicy soul & its deep roots in vegetarian feasts was entirely home-grown. The invaders did not bring Jalebi to us. We perfected it & they simply borrowed the name.

@Romanbista Yes, most of rural USA and Europe do not gave 5G. Even 4G network can be very patchy. Indians seldom appreciate what India has achieved for its GDP per capita level. And are quick to get disillusioned by psyops making India look the worst taking every issue by adversaries.

#Monsoon2026 update :
Large scale convergence zone gradually shifted from 16N to 11-14N now seen covering most parts of southern peninsular India . Enhanced rains/TS /cloudiness seen confined in this belt..
It is expected to shift further south keeping the same belt active with rains/TS over many parts for next one week.
In this weak phase of Monsoon, shallow thermal trough along the East coast gains significance.
Anomalous NW winds would interact with evening S-SE sea breeze & trigger convective developments/rains along the east coastal region in this setup.. #TamilNadu #Kerala South Interior #Karnataka #Puducherry #AndhraPradesh #Odisha

What this guy did was not corruption. It was treason.

If this had happened in the Soviet Union, he would have been summarily executed.

If it had happened in the US, there would have been a trial and he would have been executed

In India, he will take another GST in the name of his brother in law and bid again for the same tender

I guess the theory that India's biggest enemy is Indians themselves, keeps proving true again and again and again

He conveniently overlooks the provisions that require dogs to be removed from public spaces, permit the euthanasia of sick, aggressive, and terminally ill dogs, and mandate that feeding zones be situated far from human habitation. Selective reading at its finest. 🤣

@Abhishekkkk10 She is tribal, what a joke

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

The govt should reserve emergency alerts with loud, alarming sirens for truly exceptional threats to life and national security.

Using the same system for routine weather advisories, especially at odd hours, is not just irritating, it creates alert fatigue. If people are repeatedly jolted awake at odd times for warnings that may not affect them, many will eventually start ignoring these alerts altogether.

Weather updates are important, but they can be delivered through SMS, apps, TV, and location-specific notifications, and that is possible because weather events can be predicted well in advance. There is no need to send real-time emergency alerts for them.

Those who agree with me can try (android) settings > safety and emergency > wireless emergency alerts > disable allow alerts.

[AbhishekkkK @Abhishekkkk10]

When I say I am against reservation, that doesn't mean I am against the concept of reservation itself. Rather, I believe the way it has been implemented in our country is problematic.

Take this example, this Sejal girl got an MBBS seat with 406 marks through the ST category. Just to put that into perspective, some students don't get an MBBS seat even after scoring 600+ marks. I myself had to take a drop year after scoring 600.

Now look at the lifestyle she follows. I find it hard to believe that she lacked resources or opportunities during her school years.

On the other hand, the people for whom this reservation was originally intended, the genuinely underprivileged tribal communities, often don't even know what NEET-UG is, let alone have the awareness, or resources needed to pursue an MBBS degree. The person who should ideally benefit from this reservation is often nowhere in the picture, while privileged individuals continue to take advantage of a system that was created to uplift the underprivileged.

I don't understand how this system, in its current form, is supposed to reduce social inequality. While there are certainly cases where genuinely deserving individuals benefit from reservation, but in majority instances the reality appears very different.
