At a frozen yogurt shop in US. I am asked for the vaccination certificate. I show them the digital cert on my phone. They are surprised to know that’s how we have it. And yes, they knew whose photo was there on the certificate.
I asked a patient to increase his walking. Staying in the suburbs and working in South Mumbai, he leaves early for office. Not enough time in the morning (story of many of us working people in Mumbai due to the travel time to work).
He told me today, he has started getting down…
Sometimes it can be fruitful to check what all medicines a patient is taking. This gentleman was prescribed Ofloxacin-Ornidazole by a Dr for 5 days in Dec 2021.
He continued taking it for over 1 year (till today).

A patient told me today..
“I eat only Langda mangoes. I am from Uttar Pradesh. Only Langda is mango. Other mangoes are not mangoes, I hope they become mangoes one day”
Which is your favourite mango?

Mumbai airport is world class only till you land, collect luggage and come out for the pick up. The taxi/ Ola/ Uber pick up points are in a mess. No ventilation at some areas, traffic jams and no management. Something should be done to make this better.

A patient of mine relocated from Mumbai to Gurgaon. Stays within 10 mins of new workplace. In Mumbai used to travel for 90 mins one way.
Now she finds much time for daily walks, yoga and has lost weight and glucose levels also improved considerably.

The role of medicines in type 2 diabetes is overrated.
The role of diet, exercise, walking, sleep and handling stress is underrated.

Would you be interested if I conducted a night photowalk in South Mumbai? Walking around the streets, admiring the amazing architecture, knowing twitter friends, making some photos and yes, some chai.

Heavy enough rains for me to wait at the covered part of the bridge even with an umbrella. But some works need to continue. We can play our part and avoid littering on the tracks. 🙏
