This clip is from the 2026 Asian U23 Athletics Championships, held at the Sport Development Center Stadium in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China, from 9–12 July 2026. Shravani Sangle, a 20-year-old sprinter from Maharashtra ran the final leg for India in the mixed 4×400 m China led going into the closing metres, & Shravani came from behind to pass China’s anchor just 0.10 seconds ahead. I was holding my breath watching that final lap. It didn’t look even conceivable that she would be able to catch up. But Shravan wasn’t willing to see finishing second to a powerhouse like China as inevitable & acceptable. She didn’t see the yawning gap as an impossibility. She was practising the art of the possible… Giving up wasn’t acceptable. Shravani is my #MondayMotivation

An Indian engineer in Bengaluru got tired of potholes destroying his car. So he built an app with Codex that detects them, finds who is responsible, and files a complaint. Here is how it works. He installed a dashcam with GPS and an accelerometer. The app records everything while he drives. A vision model classifies every pothole by size. Small, medium, large. But here is the clever part. Most Indian roads are under warranty. The contractor who built them is legally responsible for fixing potholes for free. His app searches through 2,900 government contracts, finds the exact tender number, identifies the officer responsible, attaches the photo and geolocation, and generates a ready-to-file complaint. One drive to work. 12 potholes detected. 12 complaints ready. -- vc: @gkcs_

The Greek mythology talks about Odysseus and his epic ordeal while returning home after a victory. What if a woman faced worse, seemingly insurmountable odds and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, not for herself, but for everyone else ? Muthulakshmi Reddy was born in 1886 in the princely state of Pudukottai in Tamilnadu. Her father was Narayanswami Iyer. Her mother was a devadasi. In Tamil, they were called “Devaradiyar”.If you are an Indian, I don’t need to tell what that means. In case you didn’t know, they were women who were ostensibly “dedicated” to temple deities tasked with passing on the baton of the art of dance to the next generation. The grim reality was different. They were often subjected to exploitation and were considered prostitutes by the British government. No one chose to be a devadasi. The prepubescent girl was initiated into the system by a religious ceremony which ensured her permanent status as a concubine. She would have a male patron, but no rights to his surname or inheritance. Devadasis needn’t marry and were called, “Nityasumangali” - meaning immune to widowhood. It was an euphemism - after all, you can’t become a widow if you aren’t married. Luckily for Muthulakshmi, her father was an academician and a school principal. A sole oasis in an otherwise barren desert. He gave her the power of education. The class in which she studied had 40 boys and 3 girls - separated by a screen. Even then the parents of the boys objected, fearing their “innocent” sons would be ensnared by a prepubescent femme fatale.This may sound absurd, but this was a common trope in those days. One of the teachers resigned in protest. But her father stood with her and provided her a plank. After attaining puberty, she was home schooled, as was the tradition in those days. She wanted to change not just her destiny, but also those of others. She asked the Maharaja of Pudukottai for funds to study medicine.The stunned Maharaja gave her a princely sum of Rs.150 which was the much needed escape velocity that changed her trajectory. She became the first woman to complete medicine in Madras medical college. She was studious and bagged several medals. When she wanted to take obstetrics and become a surgeon, the professors were shocked. Surgery with its blood and gore, was considered a man thing then. Nevertheless, with characteristic persistence, she became an obstetrician. She started catering to the elite professionals first. However, a turning point happened soon. Her sister developed rectal cancer and eventually died. Back then, cancer wasn’t known to the public as the emperor of maladies. Those who were unlucky enough to get it were considered doomed. No one wanted to spend on a lost cause. So Dr Muthulakshmi took it upon herself to go to the UK and trained in Royal Marsden hospital to manage cancer patients. She had a rare combination of strong roots and powerful wings. She came back to Madras, but faced painful apathy about cancer. She turned to Women’s India Association - which helped fund, the first cancer hospital in Madras - the Adyar cancer institute. One day, three girls from Namakkal ran away from the Devadasi system and asked her , “Now what will happen of us? Where will we stay?”. She realized the dire problem and set about the long journey that would culminate in their emancipation. She sheltered them, but not just them. She started the Avvai home. She met Sarojini Naidu and became a nationalist. Realizing the importance of political power, she went on to become the first woman to join the legislative council in British India. She was also the first woman in the world, to become the deputy President of a legislative council. She met and married Sundara Reddy, with the condition that they will be equals. Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy, faced two simulataneous battles - finding land and funding for the cancer hospital. Liberation of the devadasis. For the latter, she had to fight against the likes of Dr Rajagopalachari. In a meeting when a speaker expressed solidarity with her “fallen sisters”, she famously thundered, “How dare you call them fallen sisters? Female chastity is impossible without male chastity. The men who exploited them were older and should be held responsible”. She knew they weren’t “fallen”, but “pushed”. To S Satyamurthi, she roared,”If you need someone to preserve the arts and culture, why don’t you leave the devadasis and send the women in your home?”. The stiff resistance would have wilted a lesser woman, but she was forged in fire. Her efforts bore fruit in both the issues. The cancer hospital, grew slowly but steadily. She asked everyone who would listen for funds, including King George V. Today it’s a world class institute, giving life to many. Her statue stands there, like a guardian angel of the cancer patients. On December 5,1947, at long last, the Madras Presidency passed the bill preventing the dedication of young girls as devadasis. The laurels followed. She was awarded Padma Bhushan by the Indian government. Tamilnadu government has named the pregnancy benefits scheme after a her. There is a road in Chennai named after her. Her story is the triumph of grit over fate. It’s a reminder that we can script our own destiny, regardless of where we start. Neither social ostracism, nor the strictures of colonial India could conquer her will. She turned life’s proverbial lemons into a lemonade spring, that continues to give even today. She’s the hero, that our daughters need to know about. Perhaps we should tell her story, instead of Cinderella’s. Today is her birth anniversary.

I am Dr. Sivaranjani, a pediatrician , raising concerns about how ERZL is being marketed and positioned in pharmacies, and the risk it creates for consumers making critical decisions during dehydration. This issue is not about whether ERZL is safe in isolation.
It is about how it is presented, perceived, and potentially misunderstood in real-world settings. ERZL is a commercially marketed electrolyte drink. However, its branding and advertising raise serious concerns. *It should not be using ORSL in its communication.* Why? Because: * ORSL itself is not the original medically recommended ORS * Referencing ORSL in any form creates brand recall in the minds of consumers * Instead of reducing confusion, it continues and reinforces it When ERZL is positioned as a continuation or replacement of ORSL, it keeps that same association alive — especially among parents who may already believe ORSL was equivalent to ORS. 👉 This defeats the very purpose of regulatory action. In pharmacy settings: * People are often making quick decisions under stress * They rely on familiar names and visual cues * Branding can directly influence what they choose If ERZL continues to build on ORSL recall, it risks being perceived as a medical solution for dehydration, even when it is not the same as ORS (the medically recommended solution). There are also concerns around ingredients like sucralose, especially in children and with prolonged use, based on global health guidance. This makes clear communication even more important. After raising these concerns, I have received a legal notice from Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue. This petition is not about conflict. It is about: * Clarity in healthcare communication * Preventing consumer confusion * Ensuring responsible branding and advertising * Allowing doctors to raise public health concerns without hesitation We urge the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to: 1 *. Ensure that, since ERZL closely resembles ORSL, Kenvue is directed to rebrand it in a way that does not create recall or association with ORSL.* 2. Prevent misleading positioning that may confuse consumers 3. Strengthen enforcement at the pharmacy level 4. Ensure clear differentiation from medically recommended ORS 5. Protect healthcare professionals raising genuine concerns In healthcare, even small confusion can have big consequences. Clear choices save lives. @fssai @JPNadda @MoHFW_INDIA @narendramodi Stand for public health. Sign and share this petition to help protect every family from confusion in critical moments. c.org/4wzT58q4wN

A friend went to chiropractic therapy, instead of physiotherapy after seeing all the hype, on social media. To get his neck pain treated. In the process, his left artery tore, and started internal bleeding, he is admitted to ICU and donno how long it will take for recovery. Please dont believe in pseudo science after seeing all this social media hype and risk your lives! 🙏🏻
