@_soniashenoy I spoke for 15 minutes to an insurance agent trying to buy a term insurance. Kept going round and round offering me variants of a ULIP. The final answer when asking in yes or no terms whether the offer was a term insurance? No. It's incredibly difficult to buy term insurance.

At a time when we are bidding to host 2036 Olympics, it cannot be that our playgrounds get usurped by politicians to build convention centres. We need community playgrounds for our kids. The only grounds that seem to be available are ‘Pay & Play’. Most cannot afford this. SHAME!!

At least the midfielders knew to hold position to start the counter! Also that one kid GK shouting instructions to the defence is a GOAT. 😂

I started dying when I saw how many goalies the kiddos had 😂

But this is brilliant!

3 Japanese National Team players vs 100 elementary school kids!

So fun!

@Cloudwatch199 This scheme was there last year as well. How many came back? Once they come back and get stuck with their first administrative fracas to try and get equipment on L1, they'll all go running back.

@Nithin0dha Extreme resistance to injectables in our country is the reason. We've encountered this in Immunology for a long time already with patients hesitant for once weekly and even once per 2 weekly injectables for absolute indications. It's a cultural thing.

@DivaJain2 Who exactly in Bengal is a vegetarian? It's a 99.3% non vegetarian state. You could turn on a sprinkler in the middle of Kolkata and not a single droplet of water would land on a vegetarian person. There is no need to veg/non veg segregation when no-one is vegetarian.

@LiveLawIndia Sometimes our courts feel so detached from reality. It's medicine at the post MD level, everyone is preparing for exams while serving the public under extreme stress. No one is sitting at home and studying. This is not UPSC.

Instant fact check of lies by the BJP Mayor in Mumbai and their governance.

Mayor was trying to give an impression that everything is fine and a person fell into a hole at the same time behind her.

Wow, a systematic dismantling of needless regulation by an Indian state. Hook this into my veins. Great work by Andhra Pradesh. Progressive steps like this will be rewarded by greater mobility and preference of doctors for the state. Now looking forward to Amravati.

@CISFAirport Great work. Efficient at T3 Delhi

@AdityaRohilla94 Lots of scope in Medical specialities as well, look at Stanford as an example. But our institutional bylaws are outdated and prevent you from being in business outside the academics you are contracted to do.

This is the most unreal interception I have seen! Straight out of World War 1!

@DiptoBiswas2k14 @sanjeevsanyal @rajeshsawhney You have to consider people won't want to work till they are 75. At least a healthy section of people I know wouldn't.

MTX PO split dose MTX (15mg AM + 10mg PM) vs SC in early seropositive #RA in SCOOT RCT (n=252): SC MTX had better EULAR response at 16 wks (OR 0.55, p=0.049) and ↑ transaminitis with oral split. SC MTX remains the preferred route above 15mg/wk. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 OP0206

Indians are the 3rd-shortest sleepers in the world — 6h 25m on weekdays.

And unlike everyone else, we don't catch up on weekends. The whole world repays some sleep debt on Saturday and Sunday. India? 3.6 extra minutes. Dead last of 35 countries.

Why the 6–8 hour window actually matters:

For once I wish an Indian political formation or youth movement came out of the airport holding a copy of the Wealth of Nations instead of socialist nonsense.

Dawa Hillary Sherpa (52 años, de Okhaldhunga, Nepal), guía sherpa experimentado, fue dejado atrás el 29 de mayo de 2026 (último día de la temporada) durante el descenso del Everest, cerca de la zona de la muerte.

Dawa guiaba a un cliente polaco con Himalayan Traverse Adventure (agencia nepalí). El cliente —que escalaba sin oxígeno suplementario— sufrió congelaciones graves cerca del Collado Sur (Campo 4, 7.950m), por lo que dieron la vuelta.

En el descenso por la Cara de Lhotse (cerca del Campo 3 / Yellow Band, 7.500-7.600 m), Dawa se detuvo a descansar con mochila pesada y les dijo al cliente y a otro sherpa que siguieran. Se separaron.

El cliente y otro sherpa llegaron al Campo 2 (6.400 m), de donde fueron evacuados en helicóptero. Dawa no apareció.

La temporada en el Everest cerraba ese mismo día. Los Icefall Doctors retiraban las escaleras de la Cascada de Hielo del Khumbu poco después (zona 5.500-6.000 m).
Su empresa tardó días en reportarlo y no activó una búsqueda inmediata.

El miércoles 3 de junio subió un helicóptero (de 8K Expeditions, a petición de la familia), pero no lo vio a pesar de buscar desde la Cascada de Hielo hasta Campo 3.
Críticas duras por negligencia y falta de apoyo.

Final milagroso (hoy, 4 de junio): Dawa sobrevivió 6-7 días solo en la montaña (sin oxígeno, sin comida, solo, sin ayuda).

Bajó arrastrándose más de 2.000 m por la vertiginosa Cara de Lhotse, Western Cwm y la peligrosa Cascada de Hielo del Khumbu, arrastrándose hacia el Campo Base . Un equipo de limpieza lo encontró cerca del Crampon Point, consciente pero con graves congelaciones. Dawa hablaba lento y estaba débil. Le dieron una sopa caliente. Fue evacuado en helicóptero a Kathmandu, donde está en el hospital recuperándose.
Su familia ya preparaba los funerales.

Pero como dice la canción de Cheo Gallego:

"Nadie sabe si luego de la muerte podemos vernos,
nunca;
Que si el infierno que resguardas tú
Lo guardas, pero en tu yo interno
NUNCA."

@fahadmh @ajay_shah I strongly disagree, there is no shortage of medical seats or doctors anymore in the country. We are well past saturation and young graduates of medicine are struggling to make ends meet. Talk to anyone in the medical community and they will tell you the same.

Austerity from the right and freebies from the left. Safe to say we have currently got the worst of both sides of economic policy from the current government.
