@Jairam_Ramesh There are two things to keep in mind. First, the Modi Government is facing an unprecedented wave of anger “with in the INC Cabal” and outrage for its complete and utter failures of Governance. “Janata is happy” FYI

कधी कधी वाटतं…
ICU मध्ये रोज जे पाहतो ते लिहायला बसलो,
तर timeline फक्त stories ने भरून जाईल.
आज सकाळचे ICU rounds सुरू झाले…
आणि पहिल्याच patient ने दिवसाचा tone set केला.
23 वर्षांची मुलगी.
अविवाहित.
घरात खूप वाद.
थोड्या complaints.
History clear नव्हती.
USG केलं…
12 आठवड्यांची pregnancy.
क्षणात समजलं
आज फक्त medical management नाही…
तर emotions, silence, family drama आणि reality
सगळं एकत्र हाताळावं ला���णार आहे.
पुढच्या bed कडे वळलो.
20 वर्षांची नवविवाहित मुलगी.
Phenyl consumption.
एक पूर्ण bottle.
क्षणभर मनात विचित्र विचार आला…
दिवसभर patients ना
“पाणी जास्त प्या” सांगूनही
लोक पुरेसं पाणी पीत नाहीत…
आणि ही मुलगी
एक bottle phenyl
जणू cold drink सारखी पिऊ शकते.
माणूस जेव्हा emotionally collapse होतो…
तेव्हा poison ची चव लागत नाही बहुतेक.
पुढचा bed.
35 वर्षांची महिला.
दोन मुलांची आई.
Rat killing poison.
बाजूला husband-wife मध्ये ताण,
divorce वरून वाद.
Husband insist करत होता.
ती deny करत होती.
मी तिला शांतपणे विचारलं
“खरंच suicide होतं…
की फक्त घाबरवायचं होतं?”
ती म्हणाली
“नाही doctor, मला खरंच मरायचं आहे.”
मी पुन्हा विचारलं
“एका बाजूला तुम्ही म्हणता divorce देणार च न��ही…
आणि दुसऱ्या बाजूला म्हणता मला मरायचं आहे…”
क्षणभर ती शांत झाली.
कदाचित
पहिल्यांदाच स्वतःचं वाक्य
स्वतःलाच ऐकू गेलं असेल.
तोपर्यंत माझ्या assistant’s ना पण
rat poison किती dangerous असतं याची जाणीव झाली होती and aggressive treatment सुरू होती च. Rat killing poison मध्ये best treatment असूनही mortality जास्त असते हा अनुभव
Impulsive decision…
पण किंमत आयुष्यभराची लागू शकते.
अजून बरेच patients चा round बाकी आहे
कधी कधी वाटतं
समाजात शरीरापेक्षा मनं जास्त थकत चालली आहेत.
BP, sugar, infection साठी guidelines आहेत…
पण तुटलेल्या नात्यांसाठी,
एकटेपणासाठी,
emotionally exhausted मनासाठी
कोणतं protocol नसतं.
आणि खरं सांगायचं तर…
coping सगळ्यांना जमत नाही.
पुढच्या दशकात
ICU मध्ये फक्त आजार वाढणार नाहीत…
तर emotional collapse पण वाढताना दिसेल असं वाटतं.
कारण काही माणसं मरायचा प्रयत्न करत नाहीत…
ती फक्त आतून जगणं थांबलेलं असतं.

11 Years of Governance Failure.
That is why Modi is asking us to buy less gold.
That is why Modi is asking us to save fuel.
Brilliant logic.
Except it is completely wrong.
Before you repeat that narrative.
Look at what 11 years actually built.
Not as BJP Supporter.
Not as Congress Supporter.
Let us count the failures.
One by one.
In 2013.
Per capita income: Rs 74,920 a year.
Today: Rs 2,05,324 a year.
Nearly 3x.
In 2013.
4 crore homes had no electricity.
Today: 99.5% electrified.
In 2013.
23.87 crore Indians had internet.
Today: 102.8 crore.
Four times the population of USA.
Mobile subscribers today: 116 crore.
Data cost in 2014: Rs 308 per GB.
Data cost today: Rs 9.34 per GB.
97% cheaper.
UPI did not exist in 2013.
Today, 21.7 billion transactions per month.
Accepted in 12 countries.
Highways in 2013: 91,287 km.
Highways today: 1,46,560 km.
11 km per day then.
34 km per day now.
Expressways in 2013: 93 km.
Expressways today: 3,052 km.
3,180% growth.
Metro in 2013: 248 km.
Metro today: 1,013 km.
23 cities.
Airports in 2013: 74.
Airports today: 162.
Solar in 2013: 3 GW.
Solar today: 150 GW.
53 times.
Third largest on earth.
Defence exports in 2013: Rs 686 crore.
Defence exports today: Rs 23,622 crore.
34 times.
100 plus countries.
Made in India defence: 25% in 2013.
Made in India defence: 68% today.
NAViC.
BrahMos.
Semiconductor mission.
Nuclear capacity doubled.
A warship every 6 weeks.
If India was failing.
Why is energy demand exploding?
700 Mtoe in 2013.
1,213 Mtoe today.
Nearly double.
Mtoe = Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent
A failing economy does not double its energy demand.
A roaring one does.
Fossil fuels in power: 90% in 2013.
73% today.
Renewables: 12% in 2013.
50% today.
This is a civilisation in mid-flight.
Hit by a storm it did not create.
Brazil.
Turkey.
Indonesia.
All falling faster than the rupee.
Nobody writes those headlines.
Modi's speech was not weakness.
It was a war communication.
A message to OPEC: India will not beg.
Ask who benefits from the "India failed" narrative.
Ask who profits when Indians lose faith in India.
That is the real war.
Fought with words.
With headlines.
With manufactured despair.
India has survived invasions.
Colonisation.
Partition.
Sanctions.
It will survive this too.
The temporary pain is real.
Accept it.
The destination is permanent.
Believe it.
