I am sure this is the ‘lived experience’ of many - aerobic exercise doesn’t help weight loss. Combining it with diet restrictions seems even worse. www.newscientist.com/article/2514...

BMI has long been used to determine someone's health, but it is deeply flawed. Better measures of body fat exist – and they are finally catching on, finds Starre Vartan www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

My first #HalfMarathon done and dusted! At the Annual Auroville Marathon 2026 (Ran 21km, but my watch tracked only 20.5km).

Apparently Time is an Illusion! This is supposed to be Physics (Quantum Physics) but has no resemblance to the Physics I learned at school (admittedly 30 yrs back). This reads more like philosophy or science fiction! www.newscientist.com/article/2511...

Made an effort to be more physically active in 2025 and this is how it turned out. Ran 701 out of 838 km and walked 134 km. I stopped going on bike rides in 2025 & that explains the lower distance (despite days active being more) Vs 2024.

Happy New Year 2026!

#SpotifyWrapped2025 Music (listening, no singing) has been an integral part of my life for decades and 2025 was no different. While it started with audio cassettes in the 90s & passed through CDs, iPOD & Musicolet App on my phone, #Spotify has been the staple for past few years.

Something so fundamental to understanding and interpreting health parameters, yet not understood by most lay people. Thanks @thehindu.com for having such a worthy article occupy precious newspaper space!

The BICAR-ICU-2 trial just dropped! RCT involving IV bicarb in metabolic acidosis among patients with mod-severe AKI Bicarb didn't affect mortality but it reduced the need for dialysis & risk of bacteremia VERY similar conclusions to BICAR-ICU-1 🧵 #1/ jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... #EMIMCC

Sunday Morning 12K 🏃🏽‍♂️ The biggest threat to the 'streak' are the medical conferences happening almost every weekend! 😅

If this is not a calamity, what is? 172,000 people died in 2023 on Indian roads, translating into 1317 accidents & 474 deaths every day or 55 accidents and 20 deaths every hour!! 🫢 Most of them in young & productive age. This is worse than dropping a nuclear bomb! #RoadSafety

Turns out we ourselves (how we like, share) are to blame for SoMe toxicity and not algorithms! 😐 www.newscientist.com/article/2492...

I spoke about 'Biomarkers in AKI' at the Critical Care Nephrology Conference (CCNA 2.0) at Mumbai earlier today. A short tutorial. #AKI #CCNA2.0 1/18

This report got me thinking - I haven't seen fireflies in a while.

Ageing is apparently not linear. Had come across this proposition earlier, but looks like there is evidence to support this view now. www.newscientist.com/article/2485...

1. The 'sacrilege law' is an archaic relic that has no place in a modern, secular society. 2. Nothing, including the concept of god, is beyond criticism. 3. Political parties that endorse sacrilege laws are fundamentally uncivilised and regressive.

Found this beautiful James Herriot hardcover collection yesterday at the 'Kilo Book Fair' in Pondicherry. I couldn't resist grabbing it, though I read almost all of Herriot somewhere btw 1995 and 97, thanks to the excellent Public Library at Kottayam, my hometown in Kerala.

I have no love lost for stray dogs. I was chased by stray dogs on many occasions while jogging & riding my bike. I keep seeing some idiots feeding stray dogs. Look at the number of dog bites! More than 50000/yr in just one district in Kerala! 😱

Happy Easter! #ItHappensOnlyInIndia

Easter Morning 10K Run 🏃🏽‍♂️ Took an 8 minute break at 6kms, but ran the whole distance.

We are pleased to announce the publication of the KDIGO 2025 Guideline for Nephrotic Syndrome in Children—an update to Chapter 4 of the KDIGO 2021 Glomerular Diseases Guideline. 📄 Read in @kidneyint.bsky.social: kdigo.co/Nephrotic-Sy... 🧵More below ⬇️

This is not from some remote tribal area in India, but from my own native state, Kerala, supposedly the most educated. The so called 'God' 's own country' has always had a hyperreligious underbelly hid under progressive pretensions.

Went out on a Run (6kms 🏃🏽‍♂️) and Walk (2kms 🚶🏽‍♂️) after a whole week where I had spent long hours couched in front of my laptop every day! #SundayRun

My first ever participation in an organised running event @ Auroville Marathon today. Did only 10kms, but ran the whole distance (except for stopping at 4kms and 7kms to drink water, each <30 sec), didn't walk. There were more than 3000 runners at the event!! 🏃🏽‍♂️
