@DembiDivyanshu @amitvarma And moreover I have regained my habit of reading, thanks to their great recommendations at the end of every episode.

@penstrokes75 Do you think Rohit's retirement played a role in Vks decision??

[Pranava @pranava_n]

@karthik2k2 This was true for Bengaluru as well until very recently. Kannada people usually spoke other languages like Tamil, hindi and Telugu too. However, this in the long term made Kannada the minority language which caused panic and hence the fight back. Hyderabad gonna reach there soon

Major L. By offering zero salary, you have already filtered for privilege. Just like the UN unpaid internships. Any person who has bills to pay for family cannot apply for this post.

A couple of years ago, I had taken a low resolution image of this. Here.

Yesterday a well educated man who works in the UK at an enviable job position, employing and supervising 100s of people was diagnosed with alcohol-related cirrhosis in my outpatient department.

He used to consume around 38 standard drinks of hard liquor (one standard drink has 10 g of pure alcohol or ethanol) per week as part of his job profile and evening meet up and deal brokering. He was astonished when I diagnosed him with cirrhosis.

He told me something that enraged me, but also surprised me.

He said, "Doc, I have no idea how I developed alcohol-related cirrhosis because I never drank that cheap stuff or middle level alcohol that Indians usually drink. You know, no Old Monk, or Black Label and such crap. I always made sure that I drank the best, expensive and limited edition clean stuff, like single malts and cognacs. I eat healthy, no junk food and I exercise daily. Are you sure your diagnosis is right?"

I had to "educate" this 'educated successful' man about alcohol. I am deeply concerned by the absolute ignorance even well educated people have about alcohol. Many "believe" that there is a 'healthy' alcohol and there is an 'unhealthy' version. Some don't even consider beer and wine as alcohol. The normalisation of alcohol in our society and daily lives is regrettably the worst we have done as fellow humans. The consumable form of alcohol is ethanol. Ethanol is there is every alcoholic drink. There is no safe level of alcohol for humans, meaning ethanol is a poison at any dose or duration. It's that simple to understand.

Ignorance makes people speak from positions of privilege that encourages them to trivialise the value of their health.

This is good. We need more inter-state competition on policy.

In fact, China's growth is largely because of competition between the provinces in attracting investments for manufacturing.

…and in case you were wondering between BJP and INC, how many of their candidates had criminal background…

…and how many of their winners have criminal background.

Disappointed with @Tiqets. Never using it again.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

Thank you @BeerBicepsGuy for one of the most intense, thoughtful and nuanced powerhouse of a conversation on clinical medicine, science and philosophy. I enjoyed it thoroughly and happy to meet the REAL you 🤝🙏

Not gonna lie, the anti-70 hour work week lobby was gifted this moment on a platter 😂😂

Who would win:

1) A cricketing juggernaut, backed by the hearts and minds of a billion people, playing on a dodgy pitch at a stadium named for their adored PM (who is in attendance), which hasn’t lost for 3 years or so it seems.

2) Travis from Craigmore.

2027 is too far!
We won't have this team again
We won't have Rohit-Kohli pair again
This team doesn't deserve this ending, cricket is cruel, life is cruel.

The weight of carrying 1.4 billion expectations is much heavier than the weight of carrying God on your shoulders
