On the IEPF portal @IEPF , after filing a complaint and receiving a reply, there is no option to respond. The only buttons available are “View ticket details” and “Back.” There is no provision to update or continue the complaint. Despite this, the MCA Service Desk @authorityiepf

A decade ago, @PriyankaPulla asked: “Are India’s quacks the answer to its doctor shortage?” They outnumber MBBS doctors. Can they be trained to deliver effective care? Time to revisit her thought-provoking BMJ piece.

With homeopaths now legally allowed to prescribe modern drugs, don’t be surprised if compounders and doctor’s assistants/helpers start dreaming of legal practice too. "If they can, why not us?" they must be seriously wondering.

This victory has also raised an uncomfortable question: whom will Bumrah replace when he returns for the next Test? Siraj, Akash Deep, or Prasidh? Or will he take a back seat and let these youngsters unleash themselves at Lord's? #IndiavsEngland

As Surjit Bhalla and Ankur Choudhary might ask: Is Edgbaston a batting paradise or a bowling graveyard? A nightmare for batters or a dream for bowlers? Six ducks and Two big hundreds in a single inning! Unbeliebable! #IndiavsEngTest

Today in The Lancet: Once-weekly insulin efsitora goes head-to-head with daily glargine U100 in a phase 3 RCT (n=730). -Non-inferior HbA1c reduction - Similar safety & hypoglycaemia rates Effective. Safe. Time to rethink the daily jab? But what will it cost Indian patients?

In 2025, AIIMS Delhi had a ₹5200 crore budget. MGIMS Sevagram ran on ₹240 crore (20x less) with 100 MBBS seats, 1000 beds, 7L OPDs & 50K admissions. It didn’t make the top 25. Not for lack of quality, but because it didn’t apply. Can Delhi's elite be compared to a village on a

Do top newspapers and magazines solicit ads from colleges they rank among the best in medicine, engineering, law, commerce, or arts? And if they do, why don’t they disclose this conflict of interest when they publish and hype these rankings? #MediaRankingsScam @IndiaToday

India Today’s 2025 rankings of top medical colleges are out. As expected, AIIMS dominates the list. AIIMS Delhi, Jodhpur, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Rishikesh, Patna, Raipur feature prominently in the top 25. But here’s the jaw-dropping part: MBBS fee at AIIMS: ₹1,628 for the entire

Many cancer treatments show promising scans. The tumour shrinks. The numbers look better. But overall survival doesn’t improve. Looking better. Getting worse. That’s the quiet paradox we must talk about more. #CancerResearch

Heart attack ≠ heart failure ≠ cardiac arrest. Yet news reports often use these terms interchangeably, especially when a celebrity dies. The truth: everyone dies of cardiac arrest. It just means the heart stopped. It's time media used these terms accurately and responsibly.

Dilip Doshi is no more. He made his Test debut after 32, yet in just four short years, he claimed over 100 wickets. What a guile and flight. In his 1979 debut, he took six against the mighty Aussies. The left-arm spinner with spectacles is now a memory; but what a memory he

My heart goes out to @karun126 Karun Nair. After waiting eight long years for a Test comeback, he was dismissed for a duck on the fourth ball. But I remain hopeful. He has the talent and grit to bounce back. I am sure he would prove his mettle in the inning to follow. #Cricket

Big Pharma funds the trial, pays the investigators, monitors the data, ghostwrites the manuscript, and edits it to perfection. Then it declares: “The funders had no role in study design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, or publication.” Isn’t this plain business
