Even as a doctor, I feel this deeply. Two years ago, I advised my cousin to choose a private hospital for diarrhea because she’s a germaphobe and I thought she’d be more comfortable there. She was discharged three days later with a ₹64k bill.
While certain costs like better nurse-to-patient ratios, better infrastructure are justifiable, the lack of transparency is predatory. I saw firsthand the inflated medicine prices, unnecessary vitamin panels, and a CT abdomen that wasn't clinically indicated.
As a medicine doctor, I caught the overuse of antibiotics and redundant testing, but most families don’t have that luxury. Corporate hospitals are increasingly becoming a financial sinkhole!
Yesterday I noticed the office printer was working perfectly, which raised my suspicion immediately.
I checked the logs and saw someone had cleared a paper jam at 3:12 p.m.
No ticket, no Slack, no communication.
Just silent action.
I asked the office if anyone had fixed it.
Everyone looked confused except one employee, who stared at his laptop a little too hard.
I pulled him aside afterward.
He admitted he unjammed it because “it was right there” and “took five seconds.”
I told him unilateral problem-solving disrupts our culture of collaboration and that he needed to go through the right channels if he wanted to take on a new project outside of his job description.
He said he didn’t realize fixing things was a chain-of-command issue.
I told him everything is a chain-of-command issue.
I wrote down “rogue operational autonomy” and locked the printer tray.
26/11 was a night when Mumbai burned… and a 70-year-old man stood outside the Taj, refusing to leave.
While bullets echoed inside those heritage walls, Ratan Tata waited on the pavement for three days, not as an industrialist, not as a billionaire, but as a man who believed that leadership means standing with your people when they need you most. He wasn’t allowed to enter. He wasn’t given any special corridor. But he stayed.
Through the smoke, through the fear, through the long, endless hours. When the siege finally ended, he didn’t hold press conferences or give grand speeches. He visited every family who lost someone. He restored every part of the Taj stone by stone. And instead of building statues in memory, he built a Trust that still supports the victims of 26/11.
The terrorists wanted to break Mumbai. But Mumbai stood together and so did he.
On this day, we remember the lives lost. We honour the bravery that saved hundreds. And we remember that leadership isn’t measured in titles… but in the footsteps you refuse to walk away from.

Switzerland at UN said, "We call on Indian govt to take effective measures to protect minorities and uphold free speech and free media."
India responded by calling Switzerland racist and xenophobic to their face and even offered to help them deal with it. Lol!
It’s not the dogs but we who have turned rabid. One should be against all cruelty, animal and human. Why are we choosing one as acceptable over the other?
How can a stray dog population of 62 million resulting in 3.7 million dog bites and thousands dying of rabies be acceptable?
FAQs on Rabies:
1. Once developed, rabies is 100% fatal.
2. Which animals can transmit it: Any warm-blooded animal. Dogs are the most common source. But cats, monkeys, bats, camels, and even pigs can also transmit it.
3. Mode of transmission: Bite; lick on broken skin or mucosa (like eyes, nose, or mouth); scratches if the claws are contaminated with saliva; or saliva splashing into the eyes or mouth.
4. Incubation: Rabies symptoms usually appear in 1 to 3 months but can show up as early as a few days or as late as a year, depending on the bite site and virus load. Once symptoms start, it's too late.
5. What to do immediately after a bite, scratch, or lick: Wash the wound with soap and running water for 15 minutes. Then apply an antiseptic like betadine. This step alone can greatly reduce the chance of infection.
6. When to see a doctor: As soon as possible.
7. What if the animal is vaccinated: It doesn't matter. Vaccination is good and reduces the risk but doesn’t eliminate it completely, especially when pet vaccination in India is not uniformly regulated
8. Vaccination, immunoglobulin, or both: For academic interest only :
Category I (licks on intact skin, animal sniffing, contact without bite/scratch) generally requires nothing except washing.
Category II (nibbling, minor scratches without bleeding) requires vaccination.
Category III (deep bites, multiple wounds, licking on broken skin, or bites on head/face/genitals) requires both vaccination and immunoglobulin.
BUT YOU DON’T DECIDE WHICH CATEGORY YOU FALL UNDER OR WHAT TREATMENT YOU NEED. EVEN CATEGORY I EXPOSURE SHOULD BE SHOWN TO A DOCTOR. LET YOUR DOCTOR, AND NOT YOU, DECIDE WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU.
9. Specially for parents: Kids may downplay licks and minor scratches as harmless. So, educate them. Explain the risks and emphasize that they should never hide any contact with dogs from you.
