A very famous Burger Joint in Pune had named themselves Burger King. In the year 2011, Burger King in the US filed a Suit against them for Trademark Infringement.
Yesterday, the Pune Court ruled in favour of Burger King Pune.
I believe one should read the Judgment to know

When India became independent in 2014 her first PM made fun of MGNREGA saying that it was a testimony to the failure of the govt’s past to tackle unemployment! Now the MGNREGA funds have been increased by 26k crores. ☺️

So far one thing is established, India will have coalition govt, which means

-No rash decisions like Demonetisation.

-No exploitation like GST.

-No shameless favouritism to one particular state.

This is absolutely amazing for how bills will be passed in Lok Sabha. There's going to be no party with clear majority. All bills will have to be discussed and deliberated on. As they should.

We live in a highly patriarchal society. I hv done around 200 kidney transplants. My findings in my series:
1. Around 80-90 % of Kidney Transplant Recipients are men. When a woman develops ESRD( Kidney Failure), it is very hard to find a Kidney donor, among the relatives.
2. In my entire career, not even a single husband came forward to donate his Kidney to his sick wife, & save her life.
3. When a woman is a Kidney recipient, the person who donates is usually a sister or daughter, or mother.
4. Most women r ready to offer their kidneys to their ailing husbands to save his life. The converse never happens.
5. There was once an extreme case, when a 19 yr old legal wife, donated her Kidney to her 45 yr old husband. After the Tx, I was casually talking to her. Her story was bizarre. This was her elder sister's husband. Just for Tx, the entire family had planned it carefully. The husband divorced his wife, & the 19 yr old girl was beaten fr days to marry the 45 yr old man, since her Kidney was a perfect match.
So, a simple survey of Kidney Tx recipients & donors exposes how deeply patriarchal, misogynistic, our rotten society is.
Scratch the veneer of democracy, modernity in India, & u find that underneath, we are still a feudal, casteist, misogynistic, patriarchal community.

Here's about my favourite marketing campaign, that had people(majorly working women) "religiously" take part in it.

9 colours of Navratri was started by a newspaper, Maharashtra Times to increase its female readership and had no religious or cultural significance as such.

Alternative medicine practitioners allege that I have a propaganda against them through my X handle. They claim that my clinical practice and "business of healthcare" suffer because alternative medicine is now favored more and I'm losing patients.

On the contrary, my handle and account on X exist solely for helping public and patients and cutting it off even for a while, is a disservice.

Like this father son duo, who found me through a follower of mine from Kolkata on X and through another common follower in Delhi, got my details to meet me at Kochi.

The father suffered from liver failure due to consumption of traditional Ayurvedic herbs and was given three months to live without a transplant as his liver failure progressed rapidly.

Since the son was ready for donating a part of his liver to save his father, I advised them to come to Kochi. They did not have any money. But that was not the main concern for us. Either I would write off his death certificate or he would go home fully cured.

They came.

Two days back, we discharged him home after spending a month with us and undergoing a liver transplant for free. We took this picture together before they left for their hometown, and the son, gave me his permission to share this story.

I use my account for this.
I say what I have to say, for this.

People, especially modern medicine doctors, who in my absence, proclaimed my rudeness or arrogance and called my statements egoistic or abusive are small minds who cannot fathom what I focus on. It's easy for strangers to judge others (erroneously) on social media and disrupt everything done in good faith.

You have no idea what the bigger picture of clinical medicine is and would probably not understand it, in this life.

I am happy to be back doing what other doctors would/could never do, as long as I can, to help the people and patients. My methods maybe unapologetically sharp, factual and truthful and I intent to keep it that way.

How and why do we struggle with the same issues despite multiple guidelines on bail law ? Are we even aware of the underlying problems before we can offer solutions?
