Medical ethics and objectionable Pharmacy practices

15 December 2008 - 9:29am — psaram42

Whenever I am waiting to see my cardiologist, at his clinic in Indiranagar, there are invariably a couple of drug representatives who put in their cards with the receptionist for an appointment with the doctor.

Why are our cities suffering?

My take on why local level governance in cities like Bangalore and Mumbai are suffering while thriving in cities like New Delhi and to a lesser extent, Chennai.

Any good city needs local governance. This means having a strong mayor council in place and using revenues generated by the city to a substantial extent for the city's needs.

Private Banks - How safe are our money

12 December 2008 - 2:04pm — Vasanth

I was surprised to see one of my bank account at HDFC bank which was 4,500 two years back has become only Rs.175 without any transactions. I use Citibank for regular transaction (salary account). Same is with ICICI, which was my salary account bank 2 years back and which has become 100 rupees or so from 14,000.
