Third Eye: Together in inadequate physical activity camp, film knowledge from family guide, and when Latin America calls

Together in inadequate physical activity camp: Independent MP Pappu Yadav questioned Health Minister J P Nadda in Lok Sabha whether the government knew of a WHO study indicating that 60% of Indians are "physically unfit." Nadda corrected Yadav by noting out that the report focused on how 59.9% Indians do not conduct "sufficient physical activity," something defined as "carrying out 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week," not on "fit" or "unfit". Nadda gently added: "Going by it (definition), I think you and I come under insufficient physical activity." Many MPs started laughing, so Yadav flashed a big smile.

When Latin America calls

With greater interest in India, expansion in Indian investments in Latin America, and expanding trade volumes, Latin American envoys are clamouring for improved aviation connectivity between the continent and India. The envoys advocated resuming direct connectivity between Delhi and Madrid, which is the most convenient route to Latin America. Madrid is connected to every Latin American capital, with flights available up to three times every day.
