Public health research in India operates in 4 domains a) biomedical-clinical research b)disease specific - vaccination intervention research c)the upcoming behavioural intervention research

Life tip: If you drop your loved ones at railway station, never wait at the platform till the train leaves.
Found a robin-sized bird that was chiseling a hole in a tree by the roadside, almost indistinguishable from the tree. Asked @manoj@aana.site what bird it is half sure that there's no way to identify it from that description.
Got this whole story as the answer

Due to my move to Delhi-NCR region for job purposes, have become a frequent traveler of Metro rail. Long travel times in Metro has given me the opportunity to see the life in Metro. Shared some thoughts on it there - https://blog.sahilister.in/2022/09/metro-and-city-intersection/
