Time Well Spent: Dr. Devi Shetty’s Eye-Opening TED Talk

 Dearest gentle readers,

When the teacher said we’d be watching a TED Talk, I didn’t expect much. But Dr. Devi Shetty’s talk on healthcare completely changed my perspective. He wasn’t just another doctor discussing medicine he was talking about making quality healthcare affordable for everyone, something we don’t hear about often.

He explained how surgeries that cost lakhs in other countries are done here for a fraction of the price without compromising quality. His idea of running hospitals like fast-food chains to make healthcare more efficient and scalable was something I’d never considered, but it made perfect sense.

What stood out the most was his belief that healthcare isn’t a privilege it’s a basic right. Instead of just pointing out flaws in the system, he’s actively working to change them.

By the end, I wasn’t just listening I was thinking. It’s rare to see someone in such a powerful position truly focused on helping people. Definitely time well spent.

Carvalho: So Dull, Paint Drying Is Exciting

  Dearest gentle readers, Some books leave a lasting impact because they’re exciting, meaningful, or make readers think. Carvalho is not one of those books. It probably ended up in the syllabus with good intentions.Maybe someone thought it had something valuable to offer. But honestly, it’s just pointless and painfully boring .

At one point, they even tried linking it to Pygmalion , hoping to find some deeper connection.   The strangest part? The novel actually has some science in it. There’s even a whole bit about a flying lizard , which s...

Ode to Ecology

 Whispers of a Wilted Flower Why love a flower, soft and bright, When petals fade and wilt from sight? Why hold it close, though time is brief? Watch it wither, filled with grief. Maybe since its bloom is sweet, A moment’s joy, so pure and complete. A fleeting glance, yet it stays, Guiding us with light till the end of days. We start as buds, so small, unseen, Part of something strong and pristine. With love and care, we stretch and rise, Bloom reflecting the earth and skies. Like a flower so tender and true, The more we are loved, the more we bloom. Though time may take what was once bright, Our roots remain, our love, our light.
