SRK’s Wankhede ban might have a ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa’ status, but here’s what the online janta thinks about King Khan and his future…

Banning SRK from Wankhede is like…

Banning Gautam Gambhir from Mehboob Studios

Banning Sachin Tendulkar from Yash Raj Films

Sending an MMS and stopping it from talking

How is it going to make any difference?

Banning SRK from Wankhede would lead to…

SRK banning Riteish Deshmukh from Mannat

SRK slapping Riteish whenever he gets the chance

Genelia’s disappointment at being thrown out of the Khan camp even before getting a chance to work with him. Uff, yeh in-laws!

Neha Dhupia changing her infamous statement from ‘Only sex and SRK sell’, to ‘Only sex and bans sell’

Aamir Khan talking about ‘atrocities on kids on the play ground’ as an issue on this week’s Satyamev Jayate

SRK climbing up the income tax building’s terrace to watch the matches. Pehle uspe Dish sawaar tha, ab woh Dish par sawar hai!

Riteish singing with tears in his eyes, ‘Papa toh band bajaayein’

SRK changing the script of Ra.One 2 - the villain will bomb the MCA stadium before G.One comes in and saves the rest of the Mumbai

And what if?

Ambani’s son had picked a fight at Wankhede with MCA officials? By now, Vilasrao Deshmukh would have been banned for five years, and not SRK

But you see

Even if they allege bad behaviour, it’s stupid! Do MPs get banned from Parliament when they fling microphones? - Suhel Seth

This cartoon banning is going too far now they have banned SRK from Wankhede – Dilip Cherian

Ban ne bigad di jodi!

Poor, poor Riteish Deshmukh. We can only imagine the torment he must be going through right now. With his films usually bombing, his only hope of relevance in the film industry was being under the benign shadow of King Khan. But now that papa Vilasrao Deshmukh has, literally, bajao-ed his band and banned SRK, Riteish’s only chances of ever sharing screen space with Shah Rukh – at award functions – is also nixed. So, here are some pictures of them in happier times. Have a close look, for these may well be relegated to the pages of nostalgia now!

PS: With Twitter exploding after the episode, guess who has been blissfully (or conveniently) ignorant? Riteish, perhaps because he is away in Goa, or perhaps because he daren’t take sides between papa and Khan, only tweeted about Goa’s “charm”, and Abhishek’s Bol Bachchan (“looking super big-bro, can’t wait”). Silence, in this case, is golden.

MUMBAI: It turns out that all those jokes about doctors’ scrawl are not funny at all.

Doctors’ illegible handwriting causes 7,000 deaths in the US every year and another 1.5 million Americans report minor adverse reactions-be it diarrhoea or rashes-or even death.

Now, a movement has begun in Mumbai asking the medical fraternity to write prescriptions in “separate, capital letters”. The brainchild of an NGO called the Forum for Enhancement of Quality in Healthcare (FEQH) and the Quality Council of India (a semi-government organization accrediting services), the first meeting on the issue held last week was attended by representatives of medical associations and NGOs. The campaign borrows from QCI’s hospital accreditation system called the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals (NABH) which requires prescriptions to be written in capital letters.

“We don’t have an estimate of how many people suffer or die because prescriptions written by doctors couldn’t be deciphered by pharmacists. But going by the US estimates, we can be sure that India, where 40 lakh prescriptions are written every day, has a fair share of errors,” said FEQH chairperson Prakash Gadgil.

Few cases of the tragedy that poor handwriting can wreak have made it to the annals of Indian medical history; in the most famous one, a three-year-old child died at the Spring Meadows Hospital in Noida a decade ago. The family was awarded Rs 17.5 lakh in compensation by the National Consumer Forum.

Medico-legal expert Dr Lalit Kapoor from the Association of Medical Consultants ( AMC) recalled that the pediatrician had diagnosed the child with typhoid fever and written out a prescription that included an injection of chloromycetin to be given intravenously. But the nurse read the medicine as chloroquine and the child died after suffering for a few days. “I always tell young doctors that their bad handwriting could cost them lakhs,” said Dr Kapoor.

But will doctors accept the ‘write in capitals’ campaign? Dr Mukesh Gupta, who edits AMC’s medical journal Grasp, is positive. “There are always situations in which the nurse is not sure if 51U is ’5 international units’ or ’51 units’. It would be better to write medicines in capitals,” he said.

The difficulty would be in changing decades of habit. “The habit (of writing in capitals) has to begin in medical schools for it to catch on,” said Kapoor. But as Gupta added: “We could write out 100 prescriptions in capitals the time we take to answer phone calls from patients needing to reconfirm the medicines they bought.”

The prescription writing habit is changing worldwide. Almost a third of all the prescriptions in the US are electronic. The e-change occurred after a Cornell University study in 2010 showed that nearly two in five handwritten prescriptions had errors.

Closer home, state government-run JJ Hospital in Byculla offers only computerized prescriptions. “We want to implement the computerized prescription plan in all our 14 medical colleges. While this wasn’t envisaged due to poor handwriting of doctors, there is no denying that it cuts down on prescription errors,” said JJ Hospital dean T P Lahane.

But given the uneven computerization levels in India, Gadgil felt that writing in capital letters would be a better option, especially at stand-alone clinics. Dr Snehalate Deshmukh, former vice-chancellor of Bombay University and former dean of Sion Hospital, concurred, with a caveat: “Doctors shouldn’t forget their verbal communication and remember to brief the patient on how to take the medicines.”

Mukesh Gupta said the idea would be best implemented by doctors themselves. “We could get doctors’ associations to put out statements in medical journals. We could have slides about it during continued medical education lectures, associations could send SMSes to their members, etc,” he said.

NEW DELHI: Astro-enthusiasts in the North-East states of the country are in for a celestial treat on Monday as they will witness the first solar eclipse of this year.

An annular solar eclipse will take place on Monday which can be seen from the region covering China, most of Russia, South East Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hawaii, Arctic regions and North America except the easternmost part, President of Planetary Society of India N Raghunandan said.

The eclipse will, however, be visible (as partial eclipse) from North-East states for a very short duration after sunrise, he said.

Most of the North-East states, where sun will rise around/after 4.41am, will witness this celestial phenomenon for few minutes only.

This is because the eclipse will not be visible beyond 4.52am from the country, which lies in broader penumbral path of Moon’s shadow (away from Central/Umbra path) resulting in partial solar eclipse.

Some of the places that lie near the periphery of the Moon shadow and which can see a glimpse of the eclipse are west-end of Sikkim, Darjeeling, Cooch Behar, Agartala, Shillong, Saidpur and Bogra, Professor (retired) R C Kapoor of Indian Institute of Astrophysics said.

The best place to view the eclipse is the north-easternmost corner in Arunachal Pradesh, he said.

The eclipse begins at 2.26am (IST) and ends at 8.19am(IST). The maximum phase of eclipse will be at 05.23am when the eclipse magnitude reaches 0.945.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the earth’s view of the sun, while an annular eclipse occurs when the moon is farther from the earth than normal, and hence its apparent size is not quite sufficient to cover the sun completely.

In annular solar eclipse, the sun appears as a very bright annulus, which in Latin means ‘ring’, surrounding the outline of the moon, giving the appearance of a ‘Ring of fire’.

The last annular eclipse, which was visible from India, happened on January 15, 2010. The next solar eclipse, which will be a total solar eclipse, shall occur on November 13 this year.

Only properly designed and certified solar filters or goggles should be used to view the annular solar eclipse, Kapoor said.
