Hey @UberIN_Support @Uber_India
Lost my phone in the recent trip and can’t reach the driver because the Uber account is in that mobile.

I left the phone in the door behind the driver.
The details are -

@EurekaForbes @EurekaForbes Please stop giving me these template replies and provide me an actual solution. Ask your technician to at least reach out to us. Assign our case to him on a priority basis and ask him to come fix our water purifier.

[Jasti Chandra @JElongates]

Hey @EurekaForbes
I'm extremely frustrated with your customer service regarding my water purifier repair. I've raised multiple tickets over the past few weeks, but haven't received any response or assistance.

[Jasti Chandra @JElongates]

Respected Sirs,
@ncbn, @naralokesh, @TTDevasthanams
Please do take note of this and implement them at the earliest.

Dear @PawanKalyan garu: Do not test the ghee after you make the laddus; make the laddus after you test the ghee.

All that is needed is installation of HPLC, GCMS, DSC FTIR machines in the kitchen anteroom. Cost: 1.65 crores. Monthly hundi collection of Balaji temple: 110 crores.

[Jasti Chandra @JElongates]

@JioCare Oh come on, I've heard this too!
I've been more than patient with you guys.
Now please stop your automated responses from multiple names and assign me one "actual" person with a real name who I can talk to and get this done with. @JioCare @reliancejio

[Jasti Chandra @JElongates]

@JioCare Hey Durgesh!
This is the same automated response I've been hearing since one week if I somehow manage to connect with your personnel.
I'm already tired of you guys & this is unacceptable by any means. Provide me an actual solution @JioCare @reliancejio

[Jasti Chandra @JElongates]

@an_nihilist @JioCare I feel nothing but sorry for you man!

[Jasti Chandra @JElongates]

@an_nihilist @JioCare Yeah, I can already foresee their pathetic service and lame excuses, God forbid they somehow manage to get the installation done!

Came across this archaic but interesting article -
https://t.co/4UbAobGxVH about palindromes.
And I can't help but think about the marvellous work - "Sri Raghava Yadhaveeyam" composed in the 17th century.

[Jasti Chandra @JElongates]

Woaahhh!!!
Didn't know the silencer had his middle finger chopped off!!
Thanks for the revelation @IWTKQuiz

And Happy Birthday mate @patcummins30 !!

Cricket story time:

In the lower Blue Mountains, just west of Sydney, a four-year-old arrived home after a day of preschool, full of excitement.

He had a bag of sweets for each of his four brothers and sisters and he couldn't wait to show them.

Also, found this https://t.co/1JaVrC8JJq in of the comments below. Probably a small, yet effective antidote to a gargantuan of problem.

Would love if you could chime in and share your thoughts @RagadiYT

[Jasti Chandra @JElongates]

Hey @RagadiYT ,
Was reading this blogpost https://t.co/1KZGmThT39 by the amazing @amitvarma and it only reminded me of your thoughts on this silent, unaddressed epidemic of our generation.

Hey @waitin4agi_ ,
This looks AI generated, isn't it?

Sir @theliverdoc ,
Is this advice accurate and worth following ?
Does the positioning of your legs influence blood flow?
Does gravity have any role in directing the bloodflow?
If not, what would be a pragmatic approach in such situations?

Thanks in advance!

Yoga and improved skin health and hair growth?

India’s pseudoscience poster boy, Ranveer, aka Beerbiceps gets it embarrassingly wrong.

Let us break it down.

I am sorry this is lengthy, because – as per Brandolini's Law (aka the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle): It takes a lot more energy to refute bullshit than to produce it.

Check out this video. In it, Ranveer “pseudoscience peddler” Allahbadia with over 8 million followers on YouTube and Instagram bullshits everyone in just 35 seconds.

He showcases some major female movie celebrities and tells the viewers that the secret to their skin and hair is that they perform Yoga every day, especially a Yoga pose called the “Sarvangasana” or shoulder-stand or candle pose.

His “scientific” explanation? The stance increases blood flow the scalp and head, and improves skin health and hair growth.

This is utter nonsense.

What happens to the blood flow, heart, head, and brain region when someone takes an upside-down stance?

For that, you must know the meaning of one word – Homeostasis.

Homeostasis is a self-regulating process by which human body maintains internal stability in its organ functions while adjusting to changing external conditions. This is also consists of “autoregulation,” the method by which an organ or tissue maintains blood flow despite a change in perfusion due to external (eg: body position changes) or internal (block in blood vessels) conditions.

For example, we are normally supposed to walk on two legs or rest by sitting down or lying down. The heart rate, blood flow to all organs including scalp and brain is all maintained depending on the importance and metabolic activity of that organ. For example, at rest, highest proportion of blood flow is received by the liver (nearly 25% of cardiac output) which is 100ml/min per 100g liver weight. The brain receives 50ml/min per 100g weight, while the skin receives 1 to 3ml per 100g per minute. https://t.co/YsQxLGHvmb

Organ tissues are usually considered as blood supply-dependent (e.g., heart and brain) and blood supply-independent (e.g., abdominal organs, kidneys, skin, and resting muscle) for oxygen delivery – meaning the latter WILL receive fixed amounts to maintain its functioning while the former requires changes to blood flow depending on various unusual situations. For example, in massive blood loss, the body will try to maintain blood flow into heart and brain rather than skin and muscle to maintain life. https://t.co/uBBl3B23Zc

The blood flow is set in the body for proper functioning of organs and every time we try to change that flow, a healthy body will re-align that flow depending on the importance of the organ systems functions. https://t.co/N9YpLIQPvX

So, when you do a shoulder stand or candle pose, the initial sudden change to the body position will be caught by the receptors in the blood vessels and heart which will re-align the flow to organs of importance, thereby maintaining critical functions that are required for health. Which means, the blood flow to the skin including the scalp, will be re-aligned to its required flow and DOES NOT increase to face and scalp or brain as India’s pseudoscience peddler mentions.
https://t.co/f3EUp5gFcd

In heavy aerobic exercise and changes to temperature related sweating or certain disease conditions, the skin blood can increase. Yoga is not a proper exercise as it is not an aerobic activity.

Now Sarvangasana and blood flow – a study showed that heart and blood flow responses were NOT AFFECTED with this pose in healthy people. https://t.co/OrVhey6Zn0

Even a complete head stand, called Sirsasana does not increase blood flow to the brain, forget the scalp skin, because of blood delivery homeostasis due to autoregulatory mechanisms. https://t.co/3xP3eX63ZF

The claims for effects of Yoga on specific organs are complete bluff – a public duping started by B K S Iyengar who took Yoga to the international stage.

Even in his authoritative books, he does not mention shoulder stand or candle pose to be useful for hair growth. In fact, he [nonsensically] mentions that shoulder stand will improve “thyroid health” (it does not), controls asthma (it does not), reduces disease of the throat (it does not) and prevents common cold (it does not, because common cold is caused by a virus, and not dependent on whether you stand, sit, lie down, and hang yourself upside down).

Also, note that Sarvangasana (shoulder stand), Sirsasana (head stand) and Padmasana (lotus position) are the most common Yoga poses reported to cause an injury. In those with high blood pressure or heart disease, these poses may become life threatening.
You can see those here https://t.co/1yjKkIMmwf, here https://t.co/Wm3xqfvZJ6 and here https://t.co/ew9Kz5nbnH

Yoga, especially shoulder or head stands do not improve skin health or increase hair growth by increasing blood flow.

In fact, Yoga does nothing specific for organ systems functions since such evidence does not exist. A lot of pseudoscience peddlers who sympathize with Yoga will mislead you with many such magical benefits.

So then, what specific exercise or action improves hair growth?

We do not really know. There is some evidence, even though weak, for standardized scalp massages: https://t.co/b3jloyQEwH good evidence for scalp cooling (prevents hair loss, may promote regrowth especially in chemotherapy patients) https://t.co/6BpDLQs3J6

Speak with your Dermatologist on skin and hair health queries and not National-level baby-face poster boys of misinformation.
