Had refused to consult with the guy who turned up at 9pm for a 6.30pm appointment, just as i was about to leave for home. i asked him to book another one in the week. The next day, the gym owner fired me for being over smart. i thank both of them atleast once a year. This was 2002 or early 2003, i had a home loan emi of 15k and this was a well paying job of 10k for 3 hrs work, thrice a week. i stayed up all night crying. Sticking out with what i believed in may have led to short term losses but long time gains.

The "Monsoon superfoods" - A quick list

1. Desi corn-

-Vit B and folic acid to give you good hair & prevent greying
-fibre to rid you off constipation

Have it roasted, boiled, turn them into pattice or rotis and enjoy them in their full glory. American corn, please excuse. 2. Sattu

A delicious, intelligent mix of chana dal, gehu and rice flour (depending on the region you come from).

- reduces menstrual cramps and clots
- reduces dark circles under the eyes
- reduces pigmentation and hair loss

In my kind of profession people want to “shadow” you for 10 days or max work with you for a year to figure out what you are all about, highlight that on their profiles and CV and go about their lives.

A short thread on Jinal and Somya ... In a world where that is default, to find someone you vibe with, grow with and learn with, is a rarity, if not an absolute miracle.

When Jinal and Somya walked into my office, they came in wearing similar clothes; white shirt and blue jeans.

Highlights from Covid-19 discussion with Dr. V Ramasubramanian, India's leading infectious diseases specialist - A thread

1. First line of defence-

a) Regular home cooked food, nothing exotic
b) 7-8 hours of good sleep
c) Staying positive
d) Mask, wash hands, social distancing 2. Common sense > panic

a) Plasma, HCQ, Zinc, Vit D etc not proven to protect against covid19
b) CT scan not for everyone. Doc will specifically ask if needed. Same with steroids. Currently rampant misuse
c) Drugs like Remdesivir, Tocilizumab required only post hospitalisation
