Mahatma Gandhi - “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind” and goes well with the sermon on the mount “when you are slapped on one cheek, turn and offer the other cheek”. Difficult to follow in these times, but then leaders are those who follow the path less trodden

Indians seriously don’t understand the concept of personal space and basic etiquette 👇
• Keep your phone’s ringtone volume low. People can hear it from another city.
• Stop standing six inches behind people in queues. The queue won’t move faster.
• Don’t speak loudly on the phone in public spaces. People don’t need to hear your conversation from 200 metres away.
• At traffic lights, stop squeezing into every small gap. You won’t get there any faster.
• Don’t honk in traffic. Honking won’t make the traffic move faster.
• If someone rejects your call, calling again after 10 seconds won't suddenly make them free.
• Don’t watch reels or videos on speaker in public. Public space is shared space, behave accordingly.
• Ring the doorbell once and wait. Pressing it 10 times won’t make someone reach the door faster.
• Being able to reach someone doesn’t mean they are available to you 24/7.
Last - Don’t ask someone how much they earn, how much their house costs or why they aren’t married within 5 minutes of meeting them.
Please, basic civic sense is really not that complicated.

This is in very bad faith Yuvraj.
You are a good cricketer, you are a strong human, a cancer survivor. But you are an absolute health and science illiterate.
People like you and your business of bad science deeply damages science literacy and public health in our society. It is a pathetic.
You can be powerful allies for cancer patients and oncology societies and use your voice to educate people on evidence-based preventative care and direct cancer patients towards science-based care for improved survival outcomes.
But instead, you chose to team up with unethical businessmen - some with long degrees, lengthy certifications and in high positions without any functioning brain cell - and among them, one of the worst "health" influencers on the internet right now, the so-called cancer surgeon Arpit Bansal who is a pseudoscience sympathizer, an Ayurveda apologist and quite similar to Luke Coutinho, but with actual medical degrees wasted.

Now coming to your product - P32
Among the 32 listed ingredients with 35+ distinct compounds in them, 13 carry documented risks of organ toxicity, mineral toxicity, capable of causing/promoting atherosclerosis inducing toxin generation, and with high rates of toxic environmental contamination.
Four ingredients - Ashwagandha, Bacopa, Curcumin and Boswellia are among the most frequently implicated botanicals in liver injury in LiverTox registries. When they come together, it is going to be disastrous.
medpagetoday.com/gastroenter… - The person who designed this complex formulation is really a clown.
Nearly all 30 active ingredients in this 32-ingredient supplement lack solid scientific proof for the health benefits promised on the label. First, the company's own chart admits that eight ingredients have no gold-standard human trials behind them - two are just inactive fillers, and six rely on weaker data or are added only for safety, yet are still marketed as multi-organ boosters.
At least 11 ingredients are "fairy-dusted," meaning the sachet contains only a tiny fraction of the daily dose actually proven to work in human studies.
High-level clinical and translational evidence demonstrates that several components in this sachet can actually increase cancer risk or accelerate tumor progression in healthy adults: Vitamin E (prostate cancer), combined folic acid+B12 (lung and colon cancer) and NAC, Vit E, Vit C, Astaxanthin (increase risk of cancer spread). See this paper:
Supplement Use and Increased Risks of Cancer: Unveiling the Other Side of the Coin - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…
Finally, the product stretches basic science by assuming that because a nutrient deficiency harms certain organs, taking extra amounts will supercharge those same organs in healthy adults who already get enough nutrients.
Your product is absolute BS just like the whole of herbal and dietary supplement industry is. Have some shame selling this nonsense to public and people with cancer.
I hope nobody accepts your stupid invite.
My second innings starts now.
In 2011, I played the World Cup with cancer. Nobody knew. Neither did I.
Now I take my daily health very seriously. So should entire India.
Most Indians who take supplements take one, two or three. That isn’t enough to run the body.
So we built Protocol32: 32 FSSAI-approved supplements, in the right quantities for an average Indian, working together to run 13 chains in the body. One sachet a day, mixed in water or milk.
Co-formulated with Dr. Anurag Agrawal and Dr. Arpit Bansal. Built with Prashant Pitti and Prasad C P. Made in Bangalore.
Swipe through to see every supplement, every dose and every chain.
Protocol32 is invite only. The first batch is only a few hundred people, and we’re starting with fitness, health and nutrition creators, doctors, dietitians, entrepreneurs and celebrities.

One of my jobs at Beshak is giving "assurance" to people.
Asking them to keep going, keep fighting.
Hoping they get justice.
Deep inside you feel sorry for people that you have no real value to offer - and just ask them to escalate, trust the process.
It's disappointing to see them having to go through all this unnecessary drudgery, being punished for trusting insurance.
If there is only ONE THING that needs to improve first in the insurance space it is "Grievance". It's high time unfair practices, anti customer practices are penalized heavily.
The day customer-first, strong reforms on grievances management go live, I will celebrate with an impromptu dance. Hope I am not on a wheel chair 😂

My dear friends, please, I hope to demand your absolute attention to this matter:
In 2018, my junior from St. John’s Medical College, Bengaluru, Dr. Randall Sequeira (middle in the pic), trekked up a steep, bauxite-rich plateau in Odisha to hold a monsoon health camp in the indigenous Kutiya Kondh village of Kutrumali.
In a piece he wrote then titled "Kutrumali’s Demons," Randall described sleeping under a dripping school roof in freezing fog, borrowing utensils from a local health worker to cook khichdi, and waking up at 6 AM to a line of tribal mothers. He wrote with heartbreak about treating malnourished toddlers with protruding bellies and visible ribs, listening to stories of stillbirths and chronic fevers, while noticing the shiny new solar lights installed by a mining conglomerate eyeing the aluminium ore beneath the villagers' feet.
Comparing his small medical team to hobbits sheltering in the night, Randall worried about the outside forces coming for that fragile village.
Randall stayed with the tribal/ adivasi community to serve them. After St. John’s and an MD in Internal Medicine from SMS Jaipur, he gave up every comfort of urban medicine to live in Kalahandi, recognizing that clinical prescriptions are meaningless when indigenous communities are stripped of their forests, water, and dignity.
On the night of October 16, Odisha police picked up Dr. Randall Sequeira and Dalit activist Laxman Naik at 11 PM from his home in Bhawanipatna. A gentle physician who has spent years trekking up hills to save tribal children is now locked in Rayagada sub-jail under frivolous but draconian charges (attempt to murder, dacoity), simply for standing with Adivasis peaceful protesting the mining of their sacred hills in Sijimali and Kutrumali.
thewire.in/rights/randall-se…
Odisha Govt. said it will cut down forests to connect tribal villages. But it was a way to bypass green laws and fast track London based Vedanta’s, and Adani's mining plans. Local organisations estimate that around 45 villages depend on these hills and would be affected.
reporters-collective.in/trc/…
The state has answered with repression rather than dialogue. In the last three years, at least 43 police cases have been filed and over a hundred Adivasis and Dalits, both women and men, have been incarcerated in Odisha jails. For example, from In March and april 2026, 8, 2026, to April 8, 2026, within one month, 24 people were sent to jail, 217 were made accused, and the number of “others” total 1,140. An activist who was not named in the original FIRs, but has since been implicated in about 12 cases, so that bail in one case is followed by arrest in another. This pattern of capture and releases have been used to crush rational dissent.
Dr. Randall understood that being a good doctor means understanding that prescriptions cannot compensate for the denial of land rights, that surgery cannot undo displacement and that no medical can substitute for the basic infrastructure a government has failed to provide.

To my fellow medical fraternity, and every citizen with a conscience: a kind physician who embodies the highest ethics of our profession is being criminalized to clear the way for bauxite mining. Please do not let his voice be buried in a sub-jail.
Amplify this, demand due process, and demand the immediate release. Please sign in this form to show solidarity: forms.gle/o2Rj2Uu3tXaoWu9dA
