It's been a year since #PuneethRajkumar's death and Ill share collected pictures over this year of his immortalization in Bangalore City. 1/n
A number of restos have an "Appu" menu, curated by his family. I sampled the menu 2 weeks back, and keep crossing life size cutouts of Puneeth at other restos.
Here's a write up:
m.timesofindia.com/entertainment/…
3/n Back to this lovely sight, much to be said (& many academics have already studied) the god-ification of S Indian actors. Puneeth here, living on at the same stature as gods- the hope he gives people, which is essentially the purpose god is supposed to serve #PuneethRajkumar
4/n Here's a cutie- An auto driver who has got a pic of him &his son (maybe?) printed out along with Appu- Appu has a god stature but unlike god... He's relatable, everyone loves him, they'll even photoshop their photo with his (which is not something we do w/ our other gods :-s)
5/n I was old enough and around enough (in school in Bangalore) when Puneeth's father, Dr Rajkumar, died. I remember the trepidation in the city. And I was around when Puneeth passed as well. #PuneethRajkumarLivesOn

A spate of young people looking to raise lakhs of rupees to study abroad this year... How to say this in a tweet but: If you raise the money, great, but dont bankrupt yourself in the hope that a foreign degree will set you free. Youll be in this same job market when youre back.
Theres LOTS MORE to say on this but if a tweet is of any use, then this is the tweet.

Yes happy to talk to anyone who wants to talk it out: DM is open.
If you get a scholarship, dont think twice, just go.

But if studying abroad means student loans and debt when youre back, and unless youre in high paying fields (which means, not humanities, social sciences and the arts), you may not pay back that debt fast enough to be free.

there's something off about police crack-downs on the "black market."
a black market begins when the state fails.
and patients are now without black market and without the state.

My piece: How diff state govs finally slashed prices of COVID19 treatment
indiaspend.com/exorbitant-cov…

- If they could do this, why didnt they do this earlier?
- Now that they did do it, pvt hosps still finding ways to charge patients more than the caps
- But why so arbitrary? Image
** Table is from my own notes on issue. Hard to draw a table given that diff govs issued their circulars variously. So read table w/ caveats: Some states indicated these prices as what insurance cos will pay, some as what Ayushman Bharat rates will be, some which patients pay +
** + some states have indicated these prices as what it will be in NABH and non-NABH hospitals, etc.

And the conflict arises when there is an intersection of these price caps!

So before immediately celebrating the price caps, know that these are all badly written circulars!
