A STUDY PUBLISHED IN MAYO CLINIC Proceedings suggests that combining two cholesterollowering drugs could prevent thousands of deaths annually from heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases.

TWO DRUG COMBO CAN SIGNIFICANTLY CUT RISK OF HEART ATTACK, STROKE

Researchers analysed data from 14 studies involving 1,08,373 patients at very high risk of heart attack or stroke, or who had already experienced one. The study found that pairing a high-dose statin with the drug ezetimibe significantly lowered levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, improving the chances of reaching healthy cholesterol levels by 85 per cent. This combination therapy was considerably more effective than statins alone at reducing LDL cholesterol.

The middle finger speaks

There are many reasons why Arundhati Roy's Mother Mary Comes to Me is essential reading. For people of my generation, who read The God of Small Things in our 20s—and walked around in a daze afterwards, “like somebody had shot heroin up our arms”, to quote Arundhati’s literary agent David Godwin—this book feels like a vital companion piece. It is a vivid “making-of” chronicle, a kind of behind-the-scenes narrative that in some ways surpasses the original novel.

No beef with Hindi, until forced

Let's be clear upfront: I have no beef with Hindi. In fact, like many Indians, I find myself effortlessly switching to it when the situation demands. Think about it: when I’m haggling with a vendor in a Delhi market, catching a Bollywood movie, chatting with a taxi driver or even trying to decipher the occasional railway announcement, Hindi slides in quite naturally. And frankly, why wouldn't it? It's a beautiful language, rich in vocabulary and allusion, and spoken by millions.
