Modern sleep studies show that if a daytime nap exceeds 20-30 mins, we enter deep, slow-wave sleep. Waking up from this causes sleep inertia, leaving us groggy, destroying our night sleep & messing up our insulin sensitivity.

Ancient India prevented this through a mandatory post-lunch ritual called Vama-Kukshi.

Vama means left & Kukshi means womb/side. The protocol mandates that after a midday meal, we must lie down specifically on our left side for a short duration (traditionally calculated as the time it takes to take 8 to 16 deep breaths, ~15-20 mins).

Lying on our left side keeps the stomach below the esophagus, preventing acid reflux. More importantly, it activates the Pingala Nadi (the right nostril breathing channel, connected to the sympathetic nervous system), which stimulates digestion, while keeping the brain in a state of light, restorative rest rather than letting it plunge into a deep, heavy slumber.

The Sushruta Samhita explicitly warns that long, heavy sleeping during the day destroys metabolic health (causes Kapha & Meda/fat accumulation). But a short Vama-Kukshi, a quick, left-sided power nap was prescribed to restore mental clarity, relieve stress & preserve vitality (Ojas).

It is the exact ancient counterpart to the modern 15 min "power nap."

I found Rothbard in October 2008, reading his PDFs in my Columbia apartment instead of writing my dissertation. It changed how I think about everything. My essay on him is chapter 10 of Rothbard at 100. Pre-order your copy today: https://t.co/iaEh0bk5G0

he could have given this to the industrialists and businessmen of his choice.. instead he had to work hard to earn and give it to the nameless, faceless folks 😉

@tedcruz If "destroying all of their missiles & drones" was actually true, then why are you even negotiating?

Have you considered the possibility that you're being lied to by your Israeli owners who just want you to send more US lives & money to fight their eternal wars?

Why yes, I was an Israeli spy for 20 years. And then I somehow overnight became the main "journalist" used by the Israelis and US Governments to uncritically recite propaganda about Israel in the US. How dare you suggest these two things are related? Anti-semite!

The reason so many invest in real estate & price out young people is that inflation makes the dollar & savings accounts useless so everyone needs to use their home as a saving account instead. Monetary policy is the problem, but like all lefties in human history you are programmed by your banker owners to never even notice this, let alone speak about it, and instead go after actually productive people to ensure they remain ground under the heels of your owners.

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) in india have the most objective selection process of any undergraduate engineering program worldwide. There are no essays or legacy priorities. One just has to do exceedingly well on two ultra tough tests. The IITs admit just 1.1% of applicants! It is 3-4x easier to get admitted to @mit, @Stanford, @Harvard and @Princeton!
I am excited to share that this year one of our @dakshanaindia Scholars, Godavarthi Harshit Visweswar, got a rank of 39 (out of over 1.5 million applicants!) in the first IIT selection test. He is a sure shot to be admitted and get the campus and major he prefers.
His friends call him GHV and I’ll do the same. GHV grew up in the remote hinterlands of Prakasam District in the State of Andhra Pradesh in India. His father is a farmer and the family somehow survives on $5/day.
When GHV was in 8th grade, a @dakshanaindia alum, Keshava Chandra, who used to be in the same school as GHV delivered Dakshana’s Inspire session at the school. Each year our alums visit hundreds of schools to inspire the next generation of students to aspire to be @dakshanaindia Scholars. GHV was impressed that Keshava was a student at @iitkgp and understood that if he wanted to go to IIT, he needed to be accepted as a @dakshanaindia Scholar after 10th grade.
If there was no @dakshanaindia, the closest location for GHV to get coached for the IIT entrance exam is over 150 miles from his home and the costs of $4000+ would have been completely out of reach. Sometimes all we need is a gentle nudge in the right direction. I received a similar nudge in 8th grade and it totally changed my life trajectory.
GHV was the only kid from his school accepted by @dakshanaindia in 2024. We relocated him to Dakshana’s Center of Excellence in Bengaluru and he was coached for two years at The Charles T. Munger Hall. Charlie would be proud! Congratulations to GHV, his family and his teachers. The future for GHV and his descendants looks very bright. This is @dakshanaindia at its very best!

@malpani Computers allow recording of work everyday! This should be used to gauge the strength of knowledge, skills, etc.

Holding an exam once or even at most intervals (annual, half yearly, etc) looks such an antiquated way !

@svembu Wow! Interesting background.

Book, Problem of Rupee, by the brilliant Dr BRAmbedkar will give new insights into the issues in the Indian economy.

No one promotes this book because current rulers exploit the masses the same way the British did earlier.

@saifedean Principal Architect of Indian Constitution, Dr B R Ambedkar , had figured out in 1923 that money supply is the issue - and had laid out freezing Rupee printing as the solution in his book, Problem of Indian Rupee.

The state of Uttar Pradesh killed a baby today.

Not a metaphor. Not an exaggeration. A baby is dead tonight in Lucknow, and the state killed her as surely as if it had put its hand over her mouth, one hospital at a time.

My driver Irfan brought his wife home from her mayka on the 15th of April. She was seven and a half months pregnant. They were counting weeks. They had a name ready, probably. They had the small, foolish, beautiful hopes that every parent has.

By the evening of the 16th, their baby was dead. Not of illness. Not of fate. Of Uttar Pradesh.

She went into labour this morning. A local nursing home delivered the baby. The placenta was retained, surgery was performed to remove it, and a tiny premature girl came into the world alive. Alive. I want you to hold that word for a second, because everyone who met her after that moment had one job, and that job was to keep her alive, and not one of them did it.

I got the call and set out to reach them. First, fuel. Three separate pumps on the way, not a drop of diesel at any of them. There is a war on, the supply is choked, every driver in north India knows it. But the government of Uttar Pradesh wants you to know sab changa si. Everything is fine. Nothing to see here. Just a man going pump to pump begging for enough diesel to reach a newborn he has never met, while somewhere across the district a baby the size of two palms is starting to struggle for air.

By the time I arrived, the nursing home had run out of things it could do. No incubator. Move her somewhere else. Good luck. Her mother was still admitted there, recovering from surgery. She could not come. A baby barely an hour old was about to begin a journey across Uttar Pradesh without her mother, because the state had not bothered to put an incubator within reach of the women it claims to serve.

Protocol, we were told, does not allow you to take a dying baby directly to a better hospital. You must first visit the nearest CHC and collect a referral, like a coupon. So we went. The doctor was on leave. Attending a court hearing. Somewhere in this state a doctor was arguing his case in front of a judge while a baby in his jurisdiction was running out of breath. His assistant scribbled a referral to Barabanki District Women's Hospital, and we went.

At Barabanki, we took a premature newborn up to the fourth floor. A nurse attached oxygen. Looked at her. Told us to go to RMLAU or KGMU in Lucknow. "Whichever is better." That was the medical guidance. Whichever is better. Pick one. Good luck again.

We were in a government ambulance, and a government ambulance in Uttar Pradesh can only take you to the next government facility that will turn you away. So we drove the better part of an hour to Lucknow, the baby gasping the whole way, every minute longer than the one before.

RMLAU first. Third floor. I showed a doctor the referral. He was with another patient, half-distracted, and while he was talking to them he informed us, almost in passing, that there was no vacant NICU bed. He did not examine the baby. He did not read the note properly. He said it the way you tell a cousin the sabzi is over. Out.

By now I had seen enough. I told the family we should go private. I knew what was coming. But the ambulance we were in could only take us to another government hospital. So we went to KGMU, because the rules said we had to, and because what else do you do with a baby who is running out of time except keep moving her.

KGMU. The largest government medical institution in Uttar Pradesh. The pride of the state, if you believe the press releases. Fourth floor. Same answer. No NICU bed. The doctor did not take the referral note in his hand. Did not look at it. Did not look at her. Refused.

Let me say this plainly, because if I soften it I am doing a disservice to a child who is not here to be softened for. A premature newborn, gasping, oxygen running, referred from a district hospital, was brought to the two biggest government hospitals in the capital of Uttar Pradesh, and neither of them had a NICU bed for her, and no doctor at either place so much as looked at her.

Two hospitals. Not one bed. Not one bed in the entire capital of the largest state in India for a baby born that morning.

Outside KGMU I flagged down a random ambulance, handed the driver 1,200 rupees in cash, and we drove to Nova Hospital in Patrakarpuram. Five minutes. That was the gap. Five minutes behind the ambulance carrying her, I reached Nova. And they told me she was already gone.

She was alive when she left the nursing home. She was alive at the CHC. She was alive at Barabanki. She was alive at RMLAU. She was alive at KGMU. She was alive until the government of Uttar Pradesh was finished with her.

Somewhere tonight, Irfan is trying to figure out what to tell his wife. She came home yesterday. She was seven and a half months pregnant yesterday. She is still admitted at the nursing home, still recovering, and no one has told her yet. When they do, she will wake up every day for the rest of her life into a morning where she came home pregnant and left without a child.

This is not a system that failed. A system that fails at least tries. This is a system that refused. One fuel pump after another that the government says is fully stocked. Two flagship hospitals that the government says are world-class, both without a single NICU bed between them. One doctor after another who would not spare ten seconds. One referral note after another that no one would read. A mother kept away from her newborn because the state could not provide an incubator, and a newborn kept from a hospital bed because the state could not provide one of those either.

A baby is dead tonight in Lucknow because the government that cannot keep diesel in its pumps, cannot keep doctors in its CHCs, cannot keep a NICU bed free in either of its flagship hospitals, and cannot keep a referral note in a doctor's hand, would like you to believe sab changa si.

@myogiadityanath, hang your head in shame. You run this state. This happened on your watch, in your capital, in your flagship hospitals, under your government's protocols, with your ministers telling the country every day that Uttar Pradesh is the model the rest of India should follow.

To the Health Minister of Uttar Pradesh, to the administration of KGMU, to the administration of RMLAU, to every bureaucrat who signed off on an ambulance policy that would not let a dying baby go to a private hospital, to every officer who told the press the diesel supply was normal, to every PR account tweeting sab changa si tonight, hang your heads. A baby died today that every one of you could have saved, and not one of you will lose a minute of sleep over it unless we make you.

Sab changa si. Tell that to Irfan. Tell that to his wife when she wakes up. Tell that to the baby they never got to bring home.
