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.
Mutual funds are for wealth, but this is different. HDFC Cancer Cure Fund funds Indian Cancer Society. ICS sanctions 5 lakh to needy patients in record time at Tata Memorial in Mumbai. I spoke to one of them - the money saves lives. Invest if you can.

According to HomeMinister, they are fans of ChiefMinister.
Given the saying, "judge a person based on their friends".
Is it accurate to "judge a 'leader' based on his fans!"

@sanjaylangval@HDFC_Bank@contrarianEPS HDFC is building what Liquiloans is building - a financial instrument to make money (the lemons)
CRED is exclusively focusing on user experience (lemon juice with extra sugar)
HDFC Bank has a long way to go to make such juices.

A thread dedicated to Mr. Shripal Morakhia, the great organization built by him and importance of timing in success of an Organisation.
Working closely with Mr. Morakhia in the rescue efforts of Smaash I am deeply saddened seeing the death of this great indian Startup. #Smaash
