Performed a Kidney Transplant today. As usual, the donor was a lady. A mother donating to a daughter. The father & brother of the pt were matches too, but did not donate. The GOI shd look into this issue. Why are 80% of organ donors in India, female? Speaks volumes abt the patriarchal mindset in India. ☹️
The solution to boredom is building.
Build a skill.
Build a brand.
Build your body.
Build your mind.
Build your social life.
Build anything.
It doesn't matter if you "don't know how."
That's the entire point.
You learn, act, and discover your way out of boredom.
"Don’t prioritise your looks my friend, as they won’t last the journey.
Your sense of humor though, will only get better with age.
Your intuition will grow and expand like a majestic cloak of wisdom.
Your ability to choose your battles, will be fine-tuned to perfection.
Your capacity for stillness, for living in the moment, will blossom.
Your desire to live each and every moment will transcend all other wants.
Your instinct for knowing what (and who) is worth your time, will grow and flourish like ivy on a castle wall.
Don’t prioritise your looks my friend,
they will change forevermore, that pursuit is one of much sadness and disappointment.
Prioritise the uniqueness that make you you, and the invisible magnet that draws in other like-minded souls to dance in your orbit.
These are the things which will only get better."
- Judi Dench
Almost all temples and Ganesha Pandals play these two all time great Kannada devotional songs “Jaya Gauri Jagadishwari” and “Natavara Gangadhara” across Karnataka. Most don’t know that S K Karim Khan wrote both the songs. Karnataka Ratna Karim Khan is one of the greatest film songwriters, folklorists, litterateurs and public speakers of 20th century Karnataka. He was half Pashtun and half Arab. His father migrated from Afghanistan to Sakleshpura in Hassan district of Karnataka in the late 19th century. Khan was born there. A school dropout, Khan went to jail during freedom struggle. A leading figure of Kannada cinema, Karnataka unification and literature, Khan remained a bachelor and died at the age of 106 in 2006. Unfortunately all his life, he was homeless. The famous 100 feet road in Indiranagara is named after Dr SK Karim Khan. #GaneshaFestival

Watch this. India had 31000 rapes in 2022. That is 85 a day. About 29% of women between age group of 18 to 49 experience domestic violence. As I write this, a nurse was allegedly raped by a doctor in Uttar Pradesh, yesterday.
If you want to stop the exploitation of women, we need to make sure that they are in position of power and influence law and policy. Gender sensitivity starts with ceding power to women. Men should not decide for women.
Of the 30 cabinet ministers, just 2 are women. Of the 32 CMs, just one is a woman. Only 13% IAS officers were women. Only 12% police force is women. In IAS, while the selection ratio has grown to 34%, very few raise to be collectors and most stop at being DMs or posted in welfare, culture and education departments. And the ratio of women IAS officers taking voluntary retirements is 4 times more than men.
Watch this data analysis based on gender representation in IPS, IAS, STEM, MBBS, UG, PG.
Unbelievably saddened by the loss of my dear friend @SusanWojcicki after two years of living with cancer. She is as core to the history of Google as anyone, and it’s hard to imagine the world without her. She was an incredible person, leader and friend who had a tremendous impact on the world and I’m one of countless Googlers who is better for knowing her. We will miss her dearly. Our thoughts with her family. RIP Susan.
