1 in 7 strokes are happening in the young in India.What was thought to be a disease affecting the elderly are now affecting youngsters.This trend will get worse as incidences of Hypertension, Diabetes increase with other risk factors of rapid urbanisation. When an youngster gets a stroke and survives, the cost of the disability falls on the family to look after them. Prevention is the key here.The education should start from the schooling days itself. Read the article written by me with Suryanarayana Sharma P M a Stroke Physician in today’s Deccan Herald. @DeccanHerald @shmira21 @savitha @dr_huded @RWT_NHS @strokeindian @WorldStrokeOrg deccanherald.com/health/thin…

Now that’s some sensible advice!

I love the Kannada saying: “gedda yetthina bala hiDiyodhu”. Has come in handy when I need to think about many everyday situations. #kannada

Check out today’s #BigPicture #DeccanHerald
A woman in Bihar was harassed and humiliated on camera. The footage was real. But when it began circulating online, a false communal identity was attached to the incident, turning a crime against two people into a story about religious conflict. A similar pattern played out with another viral video from Bangladesh that was circulated as a communal attack in India. The result is more powerful than an ordinary fake: people are not being asked to believe something that never happened. They are being asked to believe something real happened for a completely different reason. What happens when a real video becomes ammunition for a false story? deccanherald.com/india/real-… #misinformation #disinformation #fakenews #journalism #DHPremium #IndiaNews

💯 so true, this!
Happiness, however great, seems to be short lived. And contentment is seen to be a bit like making peace what one has. An examination of what lies beneath these ideas.
