On today's episode of Dr. M's Women and Children First Podcast, we welcome a scientist whose work has quietly shaped the cardiovascular health of millions around the world. Dr. Sundeep Dugar is a pharmaceutical innovator, inventor, and industry leader with more than three decades at the forefront of drug discovery. He is best known as a co-inventor of ezetimibe — marketed as Zetia® — a landmark cholesterol-lowering medication that transformed lipid management by targeting intestinal cholesterol absorption. He also co-inventor of the combination therapy Vytorin® (ezetimibe plus simvastatin), expanding treatment options for patients at high cardiovascular risk. For this groundbreaking work, Dr. Dugar and his colleagues received the prestigious 2005 National Inventor of the Year Award from the Intellectual Property Owners Association and the Heroes of Chemistry award from the American Chemical Society. Across his career, Dr. Dugar has contributed to more than 140 patents and has authored over 70 scientific publications, reflecting a lifetime devoted to translating chemistry into real-world therapies. He is currently the founder of Aayam Therapeutics, where he leads efforts to develop innovative, accessible medicines through collaborative global research. He also serves as Co-Chief Executive Officer of Blue Oak Nutraceuticals, advancing a novel mitochondrial-targeted compound known as Mitokatlyst™, designed to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular energy — with potential implications for muscle strength, metabolic health, cardiovascular function, and inflammation. He is the first one to decipher the mechanism by which exercise induces mitochondria levels. Mitokatlyst mechanism of action mimics this process. Dr. Dugar's scientific journey spans continents and some of the world's premier institutions. He earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Organic Chemistry from the University of Delhi, completed his PhD in Chemistry at the University of California, Davis, and pursued postdoctoral research at ETH Zürich in Switzerland and at Cornell University. Today, we'll explore the story behind major pharmaceutical breakthroughs, the science of mitochondrial health, and what the future of therapeutics may look like when innovation meets global accessibility. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Sundeep Dugar.

In this episode, I explore how the traditional framework of pashu, vira and divya bhavas can offer a surprisingly practical template for business growth and development. We look at how these stages show up in pricing, visibility, decision-making and leadership — from survival and imitation, through courageous action, to integrated authority. If you've ever wondered why certain growth edges feel uncomfortable (or inevitable), this lens may help you understand exactly where you are and what's required next.

Samagam Ground No. 8, Nirankari Chowk, Delhi, February 22, 2026: Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj

Particulate matter is, Michael Greenstone argues, the greatest public health threat on the planet. Worse than HIV, cigarettes, and alcohol. The average person  loses about two years of life expectancy to it. In India, the figure is three and a half years. The solution to this problem has been tested, and it works, at least in high-income countries.Greenstone and his co-authors ran a randomised controlled trial in Surat, Gujarat: from 300 industrial plants, mostly making textiles, all burning coal, half were randomly assigned to a market where pollution permits could be bought and sold. The results: in the market, pollution fell 25%, compliance was near-perfect, and abatement costs dropped 12%. The cost-benefit ratio is as high as 200 to one. Many plants in the control group asked to be moved into the market.The research behind this episode:Greenstone, Michael, Rohini Pande, Nicholas Ryan, and Anant Sudarshan. 2025.

VoxDev Talk (podcast).  Assign this as extra listening: the citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About Michael GreenstoneMichael Greenstone is the Milton Friedman Distinguished Service Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago, where he is the founding Director of the Energy Policy Institute at Chicago (EPIC) and the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth. His research focuses on the costs and benefits of environmental quality, including the Air Quality Life Index, which tracks the toll of particulate pollution country by country. He previously served as Chief Economist for the President's Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama. Research cited in this episodeAir Quality Life Index (AQLI), Energy Policy Institute at Chicago. The source of the life-expectancy statistics used in this episode: particulate pollution costs the average person on Earth roughly two years of life expectancy, with India averaging three and a half years. The index tracks this burden country by country, city by city.The US sulphur dioxide cap-and-trade programme, established under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, was the canonical precedent Greenstone cited: a market that dramatically reduced acid rain in the eastern United States at costs far below pre-programme projections. He noted that the UK and EU have since built comparable CO2 markets. All have worked well. The question this experiment addressed was whether the same logic held in the developing world, where almost all the pollution now is.Emissions Market Accelerator. An independent scale-up organisation founded by Greenstone and colleagues to replicate the Gujarat model beyond the original research setting. Current pipeline: a statewide sulphur dioxide market for Maharashtra (including large power plants, not just textiles), and advanced conversations in Pakistan and Brazil. Within Gujarat, a water pollution market is also in development.More VoxDev Talks on this topicRegulating pollution in low- and middle-income countries Rohini Pande and Nicholas Ryan, two co-authors of the paper discussed in this episode, on the political economy of pollution regulation in developing countries: why enforcement is hard, and what makes it work.Air pollution and infant mortality Jennifer Burney on the health costs of particulate air pollution for young children, and what the evidence from Saharan dust patterns across Sub-Saharan Africa reveals about exposure and mortality.The Social Cost of Carbon Michael Greenstone's earlier VoxDev Talk, on how assigning a monetary value to carbon emissions can drive better policy decisions and make the case for action that regulation alone struggles to make.Related reading on VoxDevReducing air pollution: Evidence from payments to reduce crop burning in India How cash payments to farmers in northern India changed behaviour and cut the seasonal haze from crop fires that pushes Delhi's air quality to its worst each winter.Paying to pollute: How carbon offsets actually raised emissions in China A cautionary study on market-based pollution controls: when incentives point the wrong way, a market can make things worse rather than better.The effect of pollution on worker productivity: Evidence from call-centre workers in China Air pollution reduces cognitive performance and output, adding an economic productivity argument to the health case for cleaning the air.

Some artifacts don't belong. Buried in sand. Hidden in shipwrecks. Locked in museum cases. Objects that shouldn't exist — at least not according to the official timeline. In this episode, we dive into the world of Out-of-Place Artifacts — the Baghdad Battery, the Antikythera Mechanism, the Iron Pillar of Delhi, the Sabu Disc, the Nimrud Lens, the Wedge of Aiud — relics that feel like glitches in history itself. Ancient batteries. Mechanical computers 2,000 years ahead of their time. Rust-proof iron. Precision stonework that modern tools struggle to replicate. Are these just misunderstood relics… Or evidence that something has been forgotten — or erased? Was there lost technology? A vanished civilization? Cycles of collapse we refuse to acknowledge? The deeper you look, the stranger it gets. History tells a story. But sometimes the artifacts tell a different one. Listen. Learn. Laugh. Question everything.

Australian travel portrait photographer Glynn Lavender joins the show to share his wild adventures leading photo tours in India, Bangladesh, and beyond. From dodging elephants and driving through fire on detours, to getting a gun held to his head in a Delhi mosque (and still getting the shot), Glynn's stories are equal parts thrilling and hilarious. He opens up about facilitating life-changing experiences for keen amateurs on his workshops—handling loose itineraries in chaotic places, approaching strangers for authentic portraits, and why connection beats perfection. Glynn also explains how BLACKRAPID straps keep him shooting pain-free after 35+ years, his pragmatic gear choices (Tamron lenses, two cameras always ready), and timeless advice: don't pre-visualize—go with the flow and capture what's in front of you. A must-listen for photographers, travelers, and anyone who loves real, human stories from off-the-beaten-path places.

The gig economy is booming. This is where people get paid per job - and use an app to get their work. Most commonly it's used for food delivery and taxis. India's gig workforce is 12 million strong and expected to double to 24 million by 2030. But recently thousands of gig workers in Delhi led massive protests over their pay and working conditions. They were also upset about the pressures of having to deliver products within 10 minutes - a guarantee some companies had initiated to try to get an edge in a very competitive market. Meghna Kanwar, a Brut journalist in India, explains some of their complaints - and how the government and companies responded. And it's not just India; there have been gig worker protests all over the world in the last few years, including in the US, UK, Brazil, South Africa, China and Indonesia. Nathalia Jimenez, our BBC business reporter in New York, tells us what some of them were about - and whether they made a difference. We also hear from Mu'nisah Ujima, a food delivery driver in Atlanta, USA, on some of the upsides and downsides she experiences.

Some choices are clear, others feel complex, and a few linger unresolved. Your word tells me that You command Your angels to guard me. “Ele dará ordens aos Seus anjos para me protegerem.” Let this promise settle into my spirit as responsibilities pull me in many directions. Guard my steps from confusion. Guard my thoughts from rushing ahead. Guard my heart from the strain that builds silently through the middle of the day. Your voice in John reminds me of the life You came to give—full, steady, rich with purpose. Jesus, I ask You to guide me into that fullness even when pressure forms around me. A Tua direção segura ilumina meus caminhos. When I cannot see the whole picture, show me the next step. When my mind feels overloaded, bring clarity. When fear suggests the wrong direction, silence it with Your peace. Shape my decisions so they grow from wisdom, not worry; from faith, not fear. As the afternoon unfolds, hold my heart steady. Lift the invisible burdens I carry alone. Renew my strength where it has begun to fade. Let Your peace move into my breathing, into my thinking, and into every choice I must make. Jesus, walk with me through this midday pressure. Stand beside me when doubts try to rise. Lead me into a place of rest, confidence, and clarity. Let Your presence be the compass that directs my steps and the light that steadies my spirit. Guide me, Jesus. Guard me.

"Rohan, Ishita has had an allergic reaction, she needs your help," Aarav said.Hi: रोहन ने तुरंत कार्यवाही की।En: Rohan took immediate action.Hi: उन्होंने अपने बैग से अलर्जी की दवा निकाली और इशिता को दी।En: He took out allergy medication from his bag and gave it to Ishita.Hi: कुछ ही पल में इशिता के चेहरे का लालपन कम होना शुरू हुआ।En: Within moments, the redness on Ishita's face began to reduce.Hi: वह ठीक महसूस करने लगी और राहत की सांस ली।En: She started feeling better and breathed a sigh of relief.Hi: "धन्यवाद, रोहन," इशिता ने कहा, "तुमने मेरी बड़ी मदद की।"En: "Thank you, Rohan," Ishita said, "you've been a great help."Hi: आरव ने भी राहत की सांस ली।En: Aarav also breathed a sigh of relief.Hi: उसने महसूस किया कि संकट के समय में शांत बने रहना और सही फैसले लेना कितना महत्वपूर्ण था।En: He realized how important it was to remain calm and make the right decisions during a crisis.Hi: अब इशिता और बाकी यात्री एक बार फिर महाशिवरात्रि के इस खास दौरे का आनंद लेने के लिए तैयार थे।En: Now Ishita and the other travelers were once again ready to enjoy this special Maha Shivaratri tour.Hi: तीनों के बीच एक नई दोस्ती की शुरुआत हो चुकी थी।En: A new friendship had begun between the three of them.Hi: आरव की छटपटाहट अब आश्वासन में बदल चुकी थी।En: Aarav's restlessness had now transformed into assurance.Hi: उन्होंने सिख लिया था कि कठिनाइयों से घबराना नहीं, बल्कि धैर्यपूर्वक उनका सामना करना चाहिए।En: He had learned not to panic in the face of difficulties but to face them patiently.Hi: महाशिवरात्रि का यह उत्सव केवल आरव के लिए ही नहीं, बल्कि हर किसी के लिए विशेष बन चुका था।En: The Maha Shivaratri celebration had become special not just for Aarav but for everyone.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Arvind's Allergic Adventure and the Power of Friendship Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-02-20-23-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: हैदराबाद में सर्दियों की शुरुआत हो चुकी थी। सड़कों पर महाशिवरात्रि की तैयारियों की धूम थी।En: Winter had begun in Hyderabad and the bustle of Mahashivratri preparations was evident on the streets.Hi: हर दिशा में शिवजी के भजन और बेल-पत्रों की माला बिक रही थीं।En: In every direction, devotional songs of Shivji echoed, and garlands of bel leaves were being sold.Hi: हाई-टेक सिटी अपने नाम के मुताबिक, ऊंचे-ऊंचे तकनीकी भवनों से सजी थी।En: True to its name, the Hi-Tech City was adorned with tall technological buildings.Hi: इन सबके बीच, अंदर ही अंदर घबराए हुए अरविंद शहर आए थे।En: Among all this, Arvind had come to the city, inwardly nervous.Hi: अरविंद दिल्ली से थे।En: Arvind was from Delhi.Hi: वे एक तकनीकी सम्मेलन में भाग लेने के लिए हैदराबाद आए थे।En: He had come to Hyderabad to participate in a technical conference.Hi: उनका लक्ष्य था अपनी नई प्रोजेक्ट का प्रदर्शन करना।En: His aim was to present his new project.Hi: लेकिन पृष्ठभूमि में एक डर हर समय उनके साथ था - उनका पुराना एलर्जी का इतिहास।En: But lurking in the background was a constant fear – his history of allergies.Hi: सम्मेलन का दिन आया।En: The day of the conference arrived.Hi: उनका मन यही सोच रहा था कि सब ठीक से हो।En: His mind was preoccupied with hoping everything would go well.Hi: लेकिन दुर्भाग्य से, उस दिन सुबह-सुबह, नाश्ते में कुछ ऐसा खा लिया जिससे उन्होंने तेज एलर्जी का अनुभव किया।En: But unfortunately, that morning, he ate something at breakfast that triggered a severe allergic reaction.Hi: उनका चेहरा लाल हो गया, सांस लेने में दिक्कत होने लगी।En: His face turned red, and he started having difficulty breathing.Hi: उन्हें समझ नहीं आ रहा था कि क्या करें।En: He didn't know what to do.Hi: एक तरफ उनका सपना था - मंच पर जा कर अपनी प्रेजेंटेशन देना, और दूसरी तरफ उनकी सेहत।En: On one side was his dream – to go on stage and give his presentation, and on the other was his health.Hi: इसी बीच मेघा और राघव, उनके सहकर्मी, उनकी मदद के लिए आगे आए।En: In the midst of this, his colleagues, Megha and Raghav, came forward to help him.Hi: मेघा ने कहा, "अरविंद, तुम्हारी सेहत सबसे पहले है। तुम्हें डॉक्टर के पास जाना चाहिए।"En: Megha said, "Arvind, your health comes first. You should see a doctor."Hi: सम्मेलन हॉल के बाहर, राघव ने अरविंद को तुरंत अस्पताल ले जाने का प्रयास किया।En: Outside the conference hall, Raghav tried to rush Arvind to the hospital immediately.Hi: अरविंद शुरू में झिझके लेकिन फिर उन्होंने सोचा, "अगर सेहत ही ठीक नहीं रही, तो सब कुछ बेकार है।"En: Initially hesitant, Arvind then thought, "If health isn't well, then everything else is worthless."Hi: मेघा और राघव ने मिलकर अरविंद को अस्पताल पहुंचाया।En: Megha and Raghav together took Arvind to the hospital.Hi: डॉक्टर ने उन्हें देखकर तुरंत इलाज शुरू किया।En: Seeing him, the doctor promptly began treatment.Hi: सही दवाओं और देखभाल से अरविंद की हालत में सुधार हुआ।En: With the right medications and care, Arvind's condition improved.Hi: उसी शाम, उनकी हालत नियंत्रण में आ गई।En: By that evening, his condition was under control.Hi: अरविंद ने तब समझा कि काम और सपने महत्वपूर्ण हैं, लेकिन सेहत उन सब से ऊपर है।En: Arvind then realized that while work and dreams are important, health is above all else.Hi: उन्होंने अपने दोस्तों की मदद का भी शुक्रिया अदा किया।En: He also thanked his friends for their help.Hi: वो समझ गए थे कि असली दोस्त वही होते हैं जो मुश्किल वक्त में आपके साथ खड़े होते हैं।En: He understood that true friends are those who stand with you in difficult times.Hi: हैदराबाद की वो ठंडी शाम अरविंद के लिए एक नई सीख लेकर आई थी।En: That cold evening in Hyderabad brought a new lesson for Arvind.Hi: उन्होंने निश्चय किया कि आगे से वे अपनी सेहत को नजरअंदाज नहीं करेंगे और दोस्ती की असली परख इस अनुभव के जरिए पा ली थी।En: He resolved not to overlook his health in the future, and through this experience, he discovered the true test of friendship.Hi: महाशिवरात्रि के इस विशेष समय ने उनके जीवन में एक अनमोल सबक जोड़ दिया था।En: The special time of Mahashivratri had added an invaluable lesson to his life.

The spiritual and spirited sounds of Qawwali music, the Sufi devotional style from Pakistan, go all the way back to the 13th century. And incredibly, the Saami family of Pakistan has kept that tradition going in an unbroken line for almost 800 years. The Saami Brothers belong to the best known Gharana (a system of connection or “house” in Hindustani music) of Qawwali, the Qawwal Bachon Ka Gharana of Delhi, and are the custodians of the traditions of Qawwali and Khayaal of Hazrat Ameer Khusrau and Ustad Taanrus Khan Sahab, (The Aga Khan Museum). The brothers are well-versed in several genres of classical music, such as dhrupad, khayal, tarana, thumria and dadra which they blend during their performances of qawwal and perform in Urdu, Sindhi, Punjabi, Arabic, Hindi, Birj Bhasha, Saraiki and Persian. The Saami Brothers talk about Khayal (a possible translation is “imagination”), which is among the oldest forms of Hindustani vocal improvisation, passed carefully from master to student, generation to generation, (Northwest Asian Weekly). 'Qawwali', Arabic for "utterance", refers to the devotional music of the Sufis, the mystics of the Islamic religion. The term includes both the medium and its performance (Real World). The Saami Brothers perform both Qawwali and Khayaal, in-studio.Set list: 1. Sufi Dhikr in Raag Bhario'n: Allahu-Allahu 2.

How about a nice hot bowl of stew? Stew means a lot to me, and I'll bet most of you like a good bowl of beef stew, or chili, or goulash. Or maybe some ratatouille? How about some good Belgian waterzooi, or a Polish bigos, or a plate of Thai curry?  A bowl of grits and étouffée at the Elk Creek Café set this episode off, which is why I interviewed Elk Creek chef Jon Forshey about what stew is, and some tips on making better stew, and an added bonus, his memories of his grandmother, "the patron saint of Poverty Hollow." That's where Jon learned to cook, and we'll talk about that, too. I'll tell you about my own stew journey, how learning to make a good stew really taught me how to cook, and fired me up to learn more. One of the things I learned about was bay leaves, and I'll use my first podcast sidebar to tell you about them. Bay leaves are more interesting and versatile than I realized, used in cooking from Baltimore to Baton Rouge, Germany, Delhi, Manila, and back to the Bay Area! Then I'll walk you through making my own birthday dinner, a nice pot of Carbonnade Flamande, a Belgian beef stew made with onions and beer, and about the State College pub crawl Cathy and I did while it was simmering at home.  What I'm Drinking Today is one of the beers I used in the Carbonnade, Ommegang Abbey Dubbel, a rich, spicy old friend from back in the early days of craft beer.  The Smack Dab In The Centre segment is about the new 2026 Happy Valley Inspiration Guide, tons of great things to do in Centre County.   Next episode might be about Kane, PA, if I can get the interview scheduled in time; the person I'm interviewing has a very busy schedule, but they're the right person for the job. If not, there are other STAG irons in the fire! See you in two weeks! Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST! Seen Through A Glass is sponsored by the Happy Valley Adventure Bureau.

"Comics and literature allow us to enter worlds through our imagination; it is a medium of not-saying. We read because we want to get into the interior worlds of say, a family living in a room in Algiers. Cinema does not give that because the director decides, though TV sometimes does give that. But through comics and literature we get into the extraordinariness of the interior world." - Sarnath Banerjee, author, Absolute Jafar, on writing a Gen X visual history, the changing nature of fatherhood, searching for jinns in Delhi, wandering the streets of Karachi, and sketching in the parks of Berlin   Learn more about your ad choices.

Namibië het Donderdagaand in Delhi by tye sterk gestaan voordat Indië se T20 wêreldkampioen-krieketmasjien die Eagles in 'n 93-lopie oorwinning gestoomroller het. Die Namibiërs se teiken van 210 lopies sou veel meer gewees het sonder kaptein Gerhard Erasmus se bydrae van 4 paaltjies vir net 20 lopies. Met die kolf het Namibië goed weggespring. Ná die kragspel was daar 57 lopies op die telbord vir die verlies van 'n enkele paaltjie, maar vanaf 86 vir 3 in die negende boulbeurt het die paaltjies vinnig begin kantel. Eagles-afrigter Craig Williams sê hy is trots op die span:

Namibië se Gerhard Erasmus het Donderdag maar net die derde krieketkaptein ooit geword om vier paaltjies van Indië in T20 krieket te kantel. Erasmus se wêreldbekerklas draaibal-aanval in Delhi het oor net vier beurte gestrek. Hy was die mees ekonomiese Namibiese bouler in die wedstryd deur net 20 lopies af te staan. Erasmus se paaltjies het in die 8ste en 12de boulbeurte gekom, en twee in die 19de, toe 'n wegholtelling gedreig het. Die groot name wat moes terugstap na die paviljoen was Ishan Kishan (gevang deur Ben Shikongo), Tilak Varma (die vangwerk deur JJ Smit), Hardik Pandya en Axar Patel, vir 'n goue eendjie. Eagles-afrigter Craig Williams het só reageer:

Namibië vat vandag krieket se T20 wêreldkampioene, Indië, in 'n aandwedstryd aan sonder oefentyd onder spreiligte. Kaptein Gerhard Erasmus het Dinsdag tydens ‘n mediakonferensie dié oorsig van die Internasionale Krieketraad uitgewys, maar het gesê Namibië sal soos altyd deurdruk. Hy het beklemtoon aandwedstryde vind nie in Namibië plaas nie. Die wedstryd begin om sewe vanaand in Delhi – in Namibiese tyd 15:30 vanmiddag.

Nog net sowat twee ure voordat spelers in Namibië se nasionale krieketspan een van die belangrikste wedstryde in hul loopbaan gaan speel.
