4 school kids died in this unfortuante accident. Everyone is blaming truck driver, However I want to highlight something very different.

That is defensive driving, Just learning how to drive isnt enough in India, Teach your children defensive driving.

Defensive driving is the ability to anticipate the stupidity that can happen on the road and protect yourself from it.

What do you do when:

- The car ahead brakes without warning?
- A truck is parked in the fast lane?
- A vehicle suddenly changes lanes without indicating?
- Someone is driving towards you from the wrong side of the road?
- A bike appears from a blind spot?
- A pedestrian crosses the road while looking at their phone?
- An auto-rickshaw stops suddenly to pick up a passenger?
- A vehicle behind you is driving too fast and too close?
- A driver is angry, impatient or clearly distracted?
- You are approaching an intersection where you cannot see what is coming from the other side?

Defensive driving means keeping a safe distance, scanning beyond the vehicle directly in front of you, checking blind spots, anticipating mistakes, using indicators, understanding escape routes, slowing down at junctions and never assuming that another driver has seen you.

It also means knowing when not to overtake, not getting into a road rage contest, giving way when the other person is clearly reckless, and remembering that being right is not more important than reaching home safely.

Driving in India is like navigating through an animal kingdom. Survival depends not only on knowing how to move through the jungle, but also on knowing how to defend yourself when the jungle behaves unpredictably.

I hope road safety in India changes over time. I am putting a significant amount of my time into making that happen.

But what do we do until then. I will write more about defensive driving soon. I have done a course on it and one day and it has saved my life. I wish to do same for kids.

@rameshsrivats Brilliantly Narrated. I too have seen that system! Cannot agree more sir

[Ramesh Srivats @rameshsrivats]

I was in IIT Madras in the 80s, and it was very caste-conscious.
However, your caste changed every year.
From JEE to Branch to GPA to Future.
But never about your birth.
Watch.

@ANI Simple question: Who drafts these official statements ?

@priyankac19 Madam Also this is the age of specilization. High time to create a National Level University for Humanities and move out Humanities and Non tech specialization from IITs. Leave IITs only for technology.

@prathoshap Good to try. This brings to the point of output certfied Vs input certified. Indtiturs conduct tests to decide who is fit to learn the syllabus.
So, onus is now on those who employ these students to do a thorough input check.

@RShivshankar High Time Only Technology departments are left with IITs and move out Humanities and such other non tech studies to specialised universities.

Dear @scroll_in @tajmahalfoxtrot and @sharmasupriya, what kind of third-rate, malicious and deeply misogynistic journalism is this?

Pallavi Joshi is a four National Award-winning actor. She started acting at the age of four. She had already become one of India’s most recognised television stars at a time when many of the journalists writing this story weren’t even born.

I didn’t even know the P of production when Pallavi produced Arohan, a landmark work centred on women in the Indian Navy. She has produced and created more meaningful work than your collective reports ever will.

And yet, when you write about an accomplished, self-made woman, you choose to introduce her primarily as “the wife of filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri.”

Why?

Because apparently a woman’s own achievements are still not enough to establish her identity.

This is precisely how patriarchy works. Reduce a woman with decades of independent achievement to the man she happens to be married to.

Pallavi Joshi did not borrow her identity from anyone. She built it herself through four decades of acting, producing, television, cinema and an extraordinary body of work. She has never needed to compromise with mediocrity, fashion herself around a powerful surname, or seek validation through a husband.

If you cannot acknowledge an accomplished independent woman on her own terms and instead feel compelled to define her through her husband, then perhaps the problem isn’t Pallavi Joshi. Perhaps it is your own deeply patriarchal lens.

And @sharmasupriya, as someone who otherwise positions herself as a feminist, I am genuinely surprised that you would encourage, defend or allow such a headline merely for a few additional views. Feminism cannot be selective. It has to apply even when the woman in question is inconvenient to your narrative.

Here is what the headline could have said:

“Pallavi Joshi, four-time National Award-winning actor who played Kasturba in Shyam Benegal’s The Making of the Mahatma, revolutionised Indian television with some of its most successful shows, delivered a memorable antagonist in #TheKashmirFiles, championed human rights, produced meaningful cinema, and is a mother of two, also married to filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri.”

See the difference?

One headline tells you who she is.

The other tells you whose wife she is.

That difference is not journalism. It is patriarchy masquerading as journalism.

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.
