I have lost patients. A deadly killer far worse than Covid. Underreported, ignored. Many effective control measures but like Indias traffic rules no serious compliance @tabassum_b in @scroll_in takes a deep dive.

Even if it takes a Mehul Choksi & his clout to remind us so be it !! Jails can & should have comfort for inmates in a civilized society. Of course this will never be offered to lakhs of ordinary people in our jails.

Disinformation alert! #TYLENOL is #acetaminophen which is the same as #paracetamol which is what it is called in India. It’s still the safest medicine for fever and pain if consumed in right doses.

Inspite of large amount of vacuous stuff one sees powerful insights through day to day examples. Many Indians die everyday due to lack of emergency healthcare in the 1st few hours. This also affects the rich & connected. Navaldeep is clever & privileged but what about the rest?
When I got my Australia PR, someone asked why I’d leave Delhi/Mumbai where groceries arrive in 10 mins. Because in South Australia, 75% of life-threatening ambulance calls are reached in 8 mins, 69% within 16 mins. I’ll pick faster ambulances over faster biryanis any day.

One of Mumbai’s oldest neighbourhoods now famously called ‘Lalbaug-Parel’ may signify various things to different people. For some, it is the quintessential Marathi neighbourhood where the Shiv Sena...

When Abodh Aras @strayingaround who has spent his life on Mumbai’s streets looking after stray dogs & protecting all of us by neutering, vaccinating them weighs in on the debate in @scroll_in in a calm logical way it’s worth a read

Removal does not help achieve the objective of a reduction in the street dog population.

PUBLIC DANGER & STUPIDITY ALERT! A surgeon claiming speed (that too impossible), a so called 'records' site accepting it , a reputed newspaper @ttindia publishing it. The most worrying though would be citizens being impressed. I say this as a surgeon with some experience; speed

International Book of Records has recognised the surgical competence of Ranjan Paul Chowdhury by including his name
