Caring over cure: Karen Kshiti Suvarna on shifting lens on caregivers in her film about Alzheimer’s

Caring over cure: Karen Kshiti Suvarna on shifting lens on caregivers in her film about Alzheimer’s

Mumbai, Debutant filmmaker Karen Kshiti Suvarna says the idea behind making “September 21”, a film on Alzheimer’s, was to consciously put the spotlight on the journey that caregivers go through. Caring over cure: Karen Kshiti Suvarna on shifting lens on caregivers in her film about Alzheimer’s The Hindi-Kannada drama follows a father living with dementia and a son , who finds himself torn between his personal ambitions and his responsibility towards his family. Hindi cinema has previously explored the condition in films such as “U Me Aur Hum”, “Mai”, “Goldfish”, and others often focusing on patients and their lived realities. But at its core, “September 21” explores the emotional weight often carried by caregivers that often goes unseen. “These films are great examples but they only deal with Alzheimer’s as a subject, they concentrated on the patients. But for this movie, we did not want to show it through that perspective because there have been many movies made on them and then there would be nothing different about our movie. “We are showing the journey …

‘Will shaving my head cure my dandruff?’

‘Will shaving my head cure my dandruff?’

3 min readNew DelhiFeb 24, 2026 01:00 AM IST Dandruff is one of the most common scalp concerns, yet it remains surrounded by myths and quick-fix solutions. One persistent belief is that shaving the head can eliminate flakes altogether. But does it have any scientific proof? According to Dr Shweta Nakhawa, Consultant Dermatologist at KIMS Hospitals, Thane, that belief doesn’t hold up medically. “Shaving the head does not cure dandruff,” she says. “The flakes come from the scalp, not the hair. When hair is removed, flakes may appear reduced simply because they’re easier to wash away or less noticeable. That improvement is only superficial. The biological cause remains active under the skin.” Why hair removal doesn’t solve the problem Dandruff develops when the scalp reacts to oil and yeast, leading to irritation and rapid shedding of skin cells. Factors such as weather changes, stress, genetics, and skin sensitivity can all exacerbate the condition, Dr Nakhawa elaborates. “Shaving doesn’t reduce oil glands, control yeast growth, or calm inflammation. That’s why dandruff often returns even after the …

BIS Unveils New Norms To Cure Hospital Bill Shocks | India News

Last Updated:December 18, 2025, 17:51 IST This new uniform billing framework is designed to bring unprecedented transparency to the healthcare sector Under the IS 19493:2025 framework, hospitals, nursing homes, and diagnostic centres are now expected to categorise all charges clearly. (Representational image) The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has taken a decisive step towards dismantling the “black box” of medical expenses by introducing the Indian Standard IS 19493:2025. This new uniform billing framework is designed to bring unprecedented transparency to the healthcare sector, ensuring that every patient receives a bill that is not only itemised and transparent but also fundamentally patient-friendly. For years, one of the most significant stressors for families during a medical emergency has been the lack of clarity in financial documentation, which frequently leads to disputes and a deep-seated mistrust between healthcare providers and the public. The necessity for such a standard was underscored by a nationwide survey conducted by the community social media platform LocalCircles. The findings revealed a troubling landscape of opacity, where only 47 per cent of patients who …
