A question for World Sight Day: when did your eyes last get checked — not your spectacle number, your actual eyes? 👁️
Two things worth doing this week.
The easy one — 20-20-20. Every 20 minutes at a screen, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It just stops the slow strain that builds through a working day.
The important one. If you or someone at home has diabetes, a yearly retina examination matters — even when vision feels completely normal. Changes at the back of the eye start long before you notice anything, which is precisely why the test exists.
Please book it with an eye specialist. It takes one appointment. 🩺

Every October, the same cold does the rounds — and every October, half of Mumbai reaches for an antibiotic that cannot possibly help. 🤧
Most of these are viral. An antibiotic does nothing to a virus. What it does do is make the bacteria you carry a little harder to treat the next time you genuinely need one.
What actually helps: rest, fluids, steam, and a few days of patience.
What should send you to a doctor, same day: 🚩 fever lasting more than three days · breathlessness · chest pain · or feeling better and then spiking a fever again.
Please don't start or share antibiotics at home — not even leftover ones. Let a doctor decide. 🩺

Mental Health Week starts today, and we want to begin somewhere unglamorous: sleep. 🌙
Sleep is treated as the thing you get to after everything else is done. It is actually the thing that decides how everything else goes.
Three levers, and none of them require an app:
One screen-free hour before bed. The hardest one. Also the one that works.
The same wake-up time every day — including Sunday. Your body keeps better time than your alarm does.
No caffeine after 4 pm. It is still in your system at bedtime even when you feel fine. ☕
If your sleep has been off for weeks rather than days, please mention it to your doctor. It is a real thing to bring up, not a small one. 🩺
