Image
  Hey Guys, Today I would like to write about a fundraiser that one of my acquaintance is carrying out. We are also involved in the project, as all of us witnessed the horror and grief firsthand.  The link to her fundraiser is   http://gf.me/u/zsb7j4   I have personally known some of the patients here and it is heartbreaking to see them suffering. You can also watch Shalini in her  YouTube  stories. Here is her story: Three weeks back I was admitted to  Narayana  Superspeciality  Hospital   in Howrah, West Bengal, being Covid positive.

Sandel teaches moral philosophy, not always known for being the most gripping topic. Yet the ...
