"The poorer the beneficiary, the louder the sermon. Freebie culture, we are warned. Fiscal collapse. Irresponsible populism. But when public sector banks write off ₹1.29 lakh crore over the years in bad loans, an amount large enough to fund several welfare budgets, the vocabulary softens. What is striking is not that welfare exists. It is that it provokes disproportionate moral anxiety."

Summer and I were working at cross purposes this morning.
Since we were on a trail less traveled with poor visibility I was slightly worried about finding the trail back again.
I know Summer will take me to the car if I ask but we were at least three miles from the parking lot and even though she will get me there it isn't always the easy way.
I decided to take off my stocking cap and hang it on a stick to mark the trail.
Summer waited until I was down the beach a ways and she disappeared.
A few minutes later here she came with my hat. She was so proud of herself.
She really is a good girl.
It worked out.
We found our way home in the end.

"In India, heart attacks are becoming more common in individuals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Alarmingly, 50% of all heart attacks now occur in people under 50, with 1 in 5 happening in those under 40. This troubling trend is a nationwide issue, with men being more affected than women, and no region is spared".
