Dr. Krishnamurthy meticulously scrutinized typical time distribution of 70 hours
In reply, doctor raised remark "wonder why young people are getting #Heartattacks?!”
Doctor's intervention illuminated the critical dialogue surrounding work-life balance
In the wake of NR Narayana Murthy’s recent statement for India’s youth to undertake a rigorous 70-hour work week, Dr. Deepak Krishnamurthy, a renowned cardiologist based in Bengaluru, expressed deep apprehension regarding the escalating prevalence of heart attacks among the younger population.
In a detailed exposition on X (formerly known as Twitter), Dr. Krishnamurthy meticulously scrutinized the typical time distribution of an average professional, highlighting the delicate equilibrium between professional commitments and other essential aspects of life. He highlighted the below breakup of time in his tweet on X:
“24 hours per day (as far as I know)
If you work 6 days a week – 12h per day
Remaining 12h
8 hours sleep
4 hours remain
In a city like Bengaluru
2 hours on road
2 hours remain – Brush, poop, bathe, eat
No time to socialise
No time to talk to family
No time to exercise
No time for recreation
Not to mention companies expect people to answer emails and calls after work hours also.
Then wonder why young people are getting #Heartattacks?!”
