Random memory:The only perfume I have ever owned was a gift from my co-brother. He's a wildlife conservator who spends half his time in the jungle,and has never worn perfume in his life. The fact that he thought I was this "corporate guy" who wears perfume to work is beyond funny
It is totally on brand for Twitter to focus on an obscure term describing a relation, rather than the essential and entirely hilarious fact that one guy who never wore perfume thought it's a good idea to gift a bottle to another guy who never wore perfume.

Genuine question for the advocates of compulsory licensing: what's the long term plan?

Say we can get anyone to manufacture Covishield in any quantity. How do we get mRNA vaccines? How do we get drugs that treat covid? New vaccines and drugs for TB, malaria and AIDS?
Since we don't have any domestic R&D, we depend on western pharma companies for IP. Our domestic pharma industry only manufactures under license. Why will big pharma trust Indian manufacturers again if they believe the government can break their patents any time?
It's not a moral debate but a practical one. I don't see a solution other than a negotiated one - where we convince, not force, western pharma companies to license their IP to many Indian manufacturers for a low fee. Else we may have to depend on imported medicines for decades.

I want to talk about children's mental health in these times.

Advance apologies because it is totally trivial compared to people losing their lives and loved ones. But till you d*e you gotta live, so here goes:
Children, both my own and among friends and family I've spoken to, are terrified with what's going on. They're also lost and confused.
First, they're afraid of catching the virus themselves. My 8-year old keeps smelling things all day to ensure he hasn't lost his sense of smell. If he feels hot (it's summer), he asks us to take his temperature. If his legs are sore from running, he asks if it's a covid symptom.

It's a real delight to back an entrepreneur like @Kunal_credflow. He's 25, comes from a small business background and is on a mission to ensure SMBs get paid on time. In our evaluation, *every single* business owner we spoke to identified cash collection as a top business problem
Credflow provides a "collection dashboard" to business owners that tells them who owes what, how long it has been pending for, and who is responsible for collecting it. It talks top the vcustomer to validate invoices, send payment reminders and provide early payment discounts.
Kunal wants Credflow to be the first screen a business owner sees every morning, a "daily MIS" of the business. They can then leverage this position to provide any number of financial services to the customer, from bill discounting to shipment insurance.

My parents told some heartwarming stories about the vaccination drive in Jaipur. At 6.30 this morning, government nurses went around neighborhood parks to round up senior citizens on their morning walks. "Auntie please come, we are open", it seems.
Doctors are specifically requesting those who got the vaccine to post their pictures on Facebook and in WhatsApp groups. Apparently nothing convinces the skeptics better than seeing their friends smiling for the vaccine pic.
One center had a long 3-hour queue, but the nurses didn't turn anyone away. They said "we will work till late in the night but nobody will go home without the vaccine".
