They stood for something else which, if said in full, would certainly have made our mothers make us rinse our mouths with soap. Once you have tasted soap, you would not want to taste it ever again.

The occipital lobe
The occipital lobe is the most misunderstood part of the brain. It sits quietly at the back of the head, doing its job without fuss, asking for no attention and rarely getting any credit. It does not think. It does not decide. It does not judge. It simply sees. And, yet, without it, the world would be little more than noise and opinion.

Ms. Multani notes that India's growth increasingly depends on robust healthcare, with hospitals emerging as key drivers of productivity and future competitiveness
Why Health Infrastructure Matters More Than EverA 2024 meta-review found that improvements in public health consistently contribute to higher GDP per capita growth, especially in developing countries undergoing demographic transition. Good health enables a workforce that is more productive, less prone to absenteeism, and capable of longer, healthier working lives. For India, with a median age under 30 and a workforce numbering over 500 million, the stakes are enormous. A healthy working-age population today is the real capital for the India of 2030-2040.
