Kejriwal on Tuesday issued his second order from Enforcement Directorate's custody, directing health minister Saurabh Bharadwaj to address essential medical services, triggering a fresh demand from the Opposition BJP for his resignation. Kejriwal directed Bharadwaj to ensure essential medicines and services for the common man at mohalla clinics and Delhi hospitals. Addressing a press conference, Bharadwaj said, «The CM has received information that people are facing difficulties in the tests carried out at mohalla clinics. He has issued me a direction in this regard. In his direction he said that free medicines are not available in some of the Delhi hospitals and mohalla clinics. Besides, free tests are also not being conducted in some of them. He has directed me to solve these issues. I want to assure the people of Delhi that even if your CM is in jail, he is only thinking about you.» Meanwhile, the AAP government said it had decided to convene a day-long session of Delhi assembly on Wednesday.

Sanjeev Sanyal, an economist and advisor to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has ignited a debate by suggesting that preparing for the UPSC exam might be an inefficient use of time unless someone is genuinely interested in administrative roles. Instead, he argues that India needs more entrepreneurs aiming to become billionaires like Elon Musk or Mukesh Ambani. He suggests that the energy spent on preparing for the UPSC could be better utilized in fields such as sports, entertainment, medicine, entrepreneurship, or science. Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM), expressed his views during "The Neon Show" podcast hosted by Siddhartha Ahluwalia. He advocates for a shift in mindset among young people. He argues that too many young individuals are investing their prime years preparing for the UPSC exam, which he believes yields limited benefits given the small number of positions available. “I'm not saying you don't want people to take the exam. Yes, every country needs a bureaucracy, that's perfectly fine. But I think lakhs of people are spending their best years trying to crack an exam where a tiny number of a few 1000 people actually are going to get it makes no sense,” he said.

Anita Roddick died in 2007; the company was sold to the kind of giant cosmetics corporation she had launched in opposition to. When Roddick started her chain, she defiantly used ultra-simple containers (urine-sample bottles bought from a local hospital, refillable packs) and was in opposition to the animal testing common with cosmetics companies.

They had categories like body butters and body yoghurt. A friend with luxuriantly curly hair asked me to buy their Brazil nut conditioner from abroad. It made sense to learn that loofah scrubs, which Body Shop popularised abroad, were the dried mature fruits of turai, ridge gourd which we cooked when it was tender. It was smart marketing. If it sounded good enough to put inside you, then it must be good enough to put on yourself as well.
