Corruption has been unchecked for many decades now. If it is made in India, it probably adulterated. 
There is no solution. Pray that the adulteration is less.

In western world of someone does a mistake and is caught, the focus is on the issue. In I our country highlight a crime, everything except the crime will be talked about. Poverty, caste, religion etc... there is no solution.

Pharma companies manufacture poor quality medicines and pay donations to the BJP, who save them from punishment.

Recent reports showed indian pharma companies are manufacturing substandard drugs. Anyone related to health sector can impart their insider info about which brands to avoid or choose.

I keep hearing mixed opinions on homeopathy. People say it is placebo and I have seen serious problems getting cured. Placebo ke liye you need to mentally believe in it first, right?

Views on Homeopathy

Product Manager

My company has an unlimited leave policy. Also the company recently laid off my coworker for taking too many leaves. What's going on here ?

My mother is diagnosed with Grade 4 liver damage today. She also has Type 2 diabetes which "does not subside"

She doesn't eat any sugars, cut out starch, very very occasional outside/packaged food, no alcohol, has been working (job and household), works around clock in the house
Taking allopathic medicines for diabetes, now may start diet restrictions for Liver damage too

Strongly feel she is being mis-diagnosed. 
The hospitals and diagnostic centre are trying to milk healthy people too. How else do you keep up revenue

Have you faced similar situations? What can be done here?

P.S. Most of the doctors we have met are big C, the ones who sound genuine are the ones not treating 😪

Have a hypothesis that medical testing is finding illnesses so we never go off their market

I've been in Bengaluru for the past two months, and I've experienced illness, including fever and cold, three to four times. I'm wondering if this is a common occurrence, or if others also frequently fall sick in Bengaluru?

Health Concerns in Bengaluru(Frequent Illness Experiences)

Earlier Maggi then Johnson’s baby powder, Bournvita, Ceralac now MDH & Everest spices. Every brand chooses India for lower quality harmful products.

Can someone explain the latest vaccine controversy to me?

I will keep it short.

So I know this guy who goes to the same gym as me, 

The dude always looked kinda lonely so I would often greet him good morning or howdy,

However, I never got a chance to sit and talk to him as he always seemed in a rush,


Yesterday, I saw him talking to one of those  E-Girls on Instagram in the locker room, you know the ones which offer sexual video calls in exchange of a few thousand rupees,

I unintentionally read the chat while he was reaching out for his sipper,

And I saw "I dont want to have sex, I just want to talk to a real woman about my mental issues" something


While this sounded absurd and funny to me in the first moment of reading it, It left a resounding wave of abyss in me.
On how some people could be extremely lonely , and all they need is a hug !!!!

While his actions may not be the most mature of all, I do recognize this feeling. 


Afterall,
Duniya mein bohot gamm hai,
Apna dukh toh fir bhi kam hai.

Adulting: An Eye-Opening Experience

I started smoking vapes back in 2019 when a friend of mine introduced me to Juul. I was instantly hooked and loved the flavours. I got so hooked that I used to smoke an average of ~5k puff vape every three days. The nicotine and juicy flavours was what made it too addictive and I always felt that it was much healthier than a cigarette. 

Last week, I fainted while climbing stairs and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I was thereafter rushed to the hospital by my roommates. 

Scans showed several lesions inside my lungs from the harmful chemicals inside. Initial diagnosis was popcorn lungs, and prognosis does not look promising. With no shot at full recovery, the treatment is going to be symptomatic only. 

Fucked my life and threw away the best years of my life. My parents are extremely disappointed in me and I feel like a dead man already. 

Don't SMOKE and Don't VAPE.

I might end up dying from Vaping. Here's my story

I live in Gurgaon (and you know why it is famous for)
Every evening you see rows of cars parked, people packing crates in the trunk (multiple)

How am I getting Fatty Liver grade II by just Zomato Swiggy
And you (who drink) can do it every other day?
