When The Drugs Don't Work by Anirban Mahapatra

"The age of antibiotics is ending. If we don’t act now, we will soon find ourselves in a world where minor injuries and common infections are deadly once more."

📚 Just finished reading "When The Drugs Don't Work" by Anirban Mahapatra, and it was an eye-opener! Reminded me of another great book Bottle of Lies. Different context, similar recupersesion.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if antibiotics stopped working? 🤔💊

The book is a sobering exploration of the crisis of antibiotic resistance. It takes readers through the history of antibiotics, their revolutionary impact on medicine, and the alarming rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

Mahapatra's narrative sheds light on a future where common infections could once again become deadly. This is a read for anyone concerned about the future of healthcare and the steps we must take to prevent a global health catastrophe.

ANIRBAN MAHAPATRA is the author of the book, COVID-19: Separating Fact from Fiction, and writes a popular science column for the Hindustan Times.

Strength in Kindness: The Quiet Strength of Lubna

Meet Lubna, a woman with a soul of warmth and resilience, who is no stranger to life’s brutal storms. Amid a charming town with moody weather and unpredictable tides, she proves that kindness doesn’t mean fragility. Her story, threaded with love, and quiet strength, is an invitation to question the courage behind kindness and the strength in calm. When Lubna first arrived in the windswept town of Doverby, the townsfolk were charmed by her gentle warmth. But little did they know, her kindness wasn’t born from softness; it was honed in the fires of past trials. As Doverby’s quiet days are threatened by hidden turmoil, Lubna’s strength and resolve rise, surprising everyone who ever mistook her kindness for weakness. I can still remember the day I first saw her. It was the kind of day that forces you to question everything, including why the weather is so stubbornly dramatic in this part of the world. The clouds rolled in like they had a vendetta, yet the sun broke through in patches, cast

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would
