Ishu Pal Singh, a passionate marathon runner and trekker from Bengaluru, is currently battling for his life after a tragic road accident that resulted in a severe traumatic brain injury.
His family is doing everything possible to ensure he receives the best medical care, but the treatment and recovery involves significant financial challenges.
I appeal to all those who can to extend their support, however small, that can make a meaningful difference.
As a fellow runner, I thought it is my responsibility to request your support, so please pitch in.

Proud to share my friend's very first podcast! 🎙️
Starting something new takes courage, dedication, and a lot of hard work. This is just the beginning of an exciting journey, and I can't wait to see more..

Hey Bob's Bar Bengaluru, why must customers key in their phone number and validate it via OTP before they can even place an order?
A beer and a bite shouldn’t require surrendering personal data.
The Government of India’s Department of Consumer Affairs has already advised businesses not to insist on mobile numbers as a mandatory precondition for sale or billing, and that such data should only be collected with express consent.
Worth a read! 😍
My mom wanted to send me homemade pickles. But I said ‘no’.
I was 27, living in New York, working on Wall Street. I didn't need pickles shipped across the world. The shipping would cost more than buying them here.
Three years later, I read the psychologist take on what I'd actually done. When you reject someone's offer to help, you're not just declining assistance. You're declining their need to matter to you!
Benjamin Franklin figured this out in 1736. He had a rival in the Pennsylvania legislature who hated him. Instead of trying to win him over with favors, Franklin asked the rival to lend him a rare book.
The rival agreed. They became lifelong friends. It's called the Ben Franklin effect.When people do something for you, they convince themselves they must like you. Otherwise, why would they help?
My mom didn't want to send pickles because I needed them.
She wanted to send them because SHE needed to feel useful to me. To feel like despite the ocean between us, she still had a role in my life.
Every time I said "I'll manage," I was taking that away from her. Here's what I learned after a decade of living away from home:
→ Accepting small favors isn't about you needing help.
It's about letting people you love feel needed.
Your dad wants to transfer ₹5000 even though you earn well?
Let him.
Your friend wants to pick you up from the airport even though Uber exists?
Say yes.
Your partner wants to make you tea even though you can make it yourself?
Accept it.
The people who love you don't want to solve your big problems. They want to matter in your small moments.
Let them. #lifelesson

ALL NINE COPS TO BE HANGED!!!
In a landmark judgement, the honourable First Additional District and Sessions Judge of Madurai, G Muthukumaran pronounced death penalty for all nine policemen in the Jeyaraj and Beniks custodial torture and death case.
Inspector S Sridhar, sub-inspectors P Ragu Ganesh & K Balakrishnan, head constables S Murugan and A Samidurai and constables M Muthuraja, S Veil Muthu, S Chelladurai & X Thomas Francis have all been found guilty of the double murder.
On 19th June 2020, Jeyaraj went to his son’s mobile shop in at Sathankulam in Thoothukudi. Police arrested him for violating Covid rules.
Following the father’s arrest, Beniks went to the police station and requested for his father’s release. Beniks apparently had an argument with the cops. They arrested him also and tortured him and his father through the night and later sent to judicial remand.
Beniks died at Kovilapatti Government Hospital on 22nd June, 2020, and Jeyaraj passed away the next day.
The investigation later revealed that the mobile shop wasn’t open beyond the permissible hours. Basically a false case was slapped.
Later, a female constable, Revathi came forward to tell the truth of their torture. Not only were the son & the father beaten brutally throughout the night but were also made to clean up their blood off the police station floor and walls with their clothes.
Beniks sustained 13 external injuries and Jeyaraj had 17 wounds that ultimately led to their deaths. They were bleeding from their rectums when they were sent to jail!!!
Following a huge social media uproar and protests, there was pressure on the then Tamil Nadu government to conduct a fair investigation into their deaths.
If you go through the whole case, you will realise that 59 year old Jeyraj and 31 year old Beniks were killed purely because the ego of the policemen was hurt.
They were angry that Beniks questioned why his father was arrested and being beaten up.
Family of the victims hope this will be a lesson to all policemen who think they can get away with any crime.
But unfortunately in our country most police don’t play by the rules. It is either their ego or orders from above or corruption that drives them. Hoping for better policing and a system that stands for victims, especially the voiceless ones.
To everyone trolling RCB over the Bengaluru victory parade stampede please think about it for a second.
That was a tragic incident, not something meant for fan wars or jokes.
It wasn’t a team decision or anything related to cricket performance.
It was a crowd management and administrative issue.
Blaming a team for something like this just isn’t fair.
Rivalry is fine, but it should stay about what happens on the field.
Let’s keep it respectful and not use real-life tragedies for trolling.
