Bengaluru's infamous traffic, which usually triggers memes and on worse days causes delays in ambulances reaching critical patients, has thrown up an inspiring story.
On August 30, Dr Govind Nandakumar, a gastroenterology surgeon with Manipal hospitals, got stuck in traffic in the Sarjapur-Marathahalli stretch while he was on his way to perform a scheduled gallbladder surgery.
Mindful that his first patient for the day was already prepped for surgery and there were others who were also expecting their procedures to be performed later, Nandakumar got out of his car and ran to the hospital, which was around 3km away.

Look , who is advising ?
What is his personal history ?

Don't you know ,he was born into a family that made history .
From pre independence to post independence era , you may try hard to mitigate Nehru family, but history' will be kind to them.

Truth cannot be suppressed.

It's a family that gave so much to the country, intellectually, emotionally, physically and materially.
He had seen history unfolding in front of him at close quarters, when most of the critics of Rahul were not even born in the world of Politics.

Adani Group Is ‘Deeply Overleveraged,’ Says Fitch Group Firm.
Conglomerate is rapidly diversifying into unrelated businesses.
No clear evidence of founders injecting capital.

- CreditSights
Gautam Adani’s port-to-power conglomerate is “deeply over leveraged” as the group has been investing aggressively across existing as well as new unrelated businesses, predominantly funded with debt, a Fitch Group unit said in a report Tuesday.
The aggressive expansion pursued by the Adani Group, led by Asia’s richest person, has created a pressure on its credit metrics and cash flows, CreditSights said in the report, adding that “in the worst-case scenario” it may spiral into a debt trap and possibly a default.

'Akhand Bharat in 15 years by Mohan Bhagwat'.
Problem in this country is that the RW gang think India, a part of the Earth, has this propriety rights of a particular school of thought like - 'Akhand Bharat'.
For such people let me take their memory back to the 1930-40s when a meglomaniac, viz Adolf Hitler injected the "Nationalism fervor" in the minds of hapless Germans.
The result we all know was the WW-II, defeat and humiliation & then suicide by Hitler.
The saddest part of all was the division of Germany itself into two- East and West with the Berlin Wall in between.

Taking a cue from such failed history, instead of learning some lessons, this fevour of "Nationalism" is being injected by the BJP/RSS among its citizens.

A post was made by a Facebook page which promised a reward of Rs. 2 Crores for the beheading of Adityanath.

The post had an Islamic flag on it along with the flag of Pakistan, the face of Imran Khan and the threat, as reported by various news agencies.
The UP Police cyber cell investigated this page and found that it belonged to one person named: Atmaprakash Pandit

According to the Moradabad police who are investigating this, Atmaprakash Pandit has made this Facebook account to post antisocial stuff on social media.
Now I wonder what the UP Police and UP Administration is going to do?

- Get out the bulldozer and destroy Atmaprakash Pandit's house?

- Apply UAPA and put Atmaprakash Pandit in jail without bail for a few years atleast?

When RSS sent 3 Indians to Jail for hoisting National Flag at their premises, who were later acquitted by Court.

*Case No. 176/2001* , Nagpur.....

Ever heard of this case? If not, read on and by the time you finish reading, trust me, you will not forget it.
The year was 2001, the date 26th January, the Republic Day of India.

Three young men named, Baba Mendhe, Ramesh Kambale and Dilip Chatwani walked into the RSS Headquarters in Nagpur.

They shouted patriotic slogans on the ground of the RSS HQ and hoisted the Indian Tricolor in
their premises.

They claimed that the RSS had never unfurled the tricolor in their premises (till that date) and this was their way of showing RSS what patriotism is.

The RSS administrators filed a case against the three youth who were arrested.
