With #heartattack trending. Most cases, proper CPR is not performed. Majority of Indians doesn't know the basic first aid skills. Once, you ascertain the breathlessness, nopulse. Remember to do 2inches of chess compression. It can save heart attack patients
In india, there is a political lobbies to fight for teaching proud history, languages(3+), religious stuff but none want student to learn life skills like first aid, basic hardware, local governance/geography,.etc. last yr an 28yr old IISc student died, none around knows of CPR
Chest compression not chess, uff auto complete.
Mannargudi Hospital Nurse Vanaja acted fast n gave CPR on the field and saved the youngster life. Plz remember to perfom CPR, only if patient is lifeless(no breathing/pulse), CPR requires strong chest compression, sometimes it may break the bones.

Present cultural/religious historical debate are amusing. Current avg age of TN is 30yrs old. If the state does not develop economically within next 15years, it will never develop. If not now then its never. We can fight religious, cultural and caste war later 1/4
Our state is poor compared to global avg in gdp and many health indicators. This is a time, we need to have pointed focus on economy, wealth creation and job. Providing better drinking water, education, air, environment. To create strong foundation for future 2/4
If TN get distracted based on religious, cultural line, it will be a historical injustice to the future generation. State need to focus on diverse economical & career opportunity, otherwise, we will loose our intelligent people. Left with passionate people debating in street 3/4

Bangalore sits above 2900ft, one have to be master in bad planning to flood a high altitude, rich metro city.

All cities are not made equal, cities like Mumbai & Chennai with their flat terrain, costal tides, heavy rainfall are geographically flood vulnerable.
#bangalorerains
I meant, places like Bangalore, flood mitigation is easier & less trivial/complex. You need to follow gradient, valleys.Higher flow speed meant small drain could evacuate more water, it doesn't stagnate in this terrain. Old Bangalore withstood these rain with avg drain system 1/n
Chennai/Mumbai sit in 5-7m height, water flow very slowly, stagnate more. In these "Mega cities", canal depth cant go above 5m(shallow), otherwise sea water will enter the city. They also receive heavy rainfall. So, flood mitigation is non-trivial and complex plan is required 2/n
