A Hanoi spa stopped taking Indian group bookings. Thailand removed India from its visa-free list. A London cinema paused a film to address an audience that had turned the hall into a rubbish dump. India's favourability fell 11 points in a year. These are not unrelated.

Hi friends! Now that this is big time news and national media has mentioned Homeopathy as witchcraft, here is the new term I am proud to anounce and we should be aware of.

"Triangle of Shame".

This annoying shameful event occurs when an influencer (almost always a podcast host who is not a domain/topic expert)...enables misinformation from another (almost always a pseudoscience practitioner/sympathizer/apologist)...and which gets endorsed by a third influencer (who may or may not be a celebrity, but is definitely stupid when it comes to science/health literacy).

Watch out for such podcasts/interviews and reject them.

In ten short minutes, smoke arrives to burn,
But forty-five - a fire truck’s return.
One feeds the lung, the other fights the flame
India, where vices win the race, and duty limps in shame.

As of May, empty bottles permitted so fans could refill amid heat concerns. Not now
