Why force a pill down an unwarranted throat?

 The media boom has made every day “some-day” or the other. Justified only when the need is met and cannot be when means are met. Mental health day has to be celebrated to create awareness and not to create more patients and force pills down their throat even for trivial issues. An opening up of the haphazard mind maybe only what’s needed to settle the unsettled.


Here comes the very uniqueness of the system of homeopathy and the role it plays to give great relief. There is of course many a pill to relieve stress, anxiety, and so on in homeopathy but let’s talk about what’s before that. It is case taking or case receiving to formulate a suitable remedy for the patient. The patient is uninterruptedly encouraged to discuss his discomforts from head to foot from all planes; brought back to the problem exact only when he deviates to non-relevant talk. In this process, through my years I have learned that the ear of the physician yields more results than the hand which pens the prescription. Of course, some need medicines but not all. 


The generation-gapp has always existed; P in gap intentionally spelled double. Many say it has widened than ever before, the youth are unfocussed in a haze of never before savvy things but I feel the other way. All through the years, people have had distractions but the new-gen are very much better than their grandparents in intellect, and that's why we see a surge in innovations. the only thing they are is not rightly mentored emotionally. Many don't have the right ear to talk to and that's where they fall prey to the veiled virtual world of the internet. 


On this wonderful October evening when few dusky rain clouds roll into the evening sky its just a reminder to fellow brethren of my fraternity that using such a wonderful system our master, Dr.Samuel Hahnemann gave us we might just need to show a mountainous ear for the heavy-laden clouds to outpour their rainy emotions and lighten their minds.

Be the BEE

Morning walks with kids are endearing and enriching with queries. Mine too isn't different. But definitely, a few doubts cross my mind; Am I justly answering? Is she perceiving my answers right? Wednesday morning was drenched with a sudden shower and our usual walk-mates were missing - blabbers, bees, and butterflies usually throng our lush green rustic home. Casually a bee buzzed into our talks. When explaining how important the wind and the bees are for the sustenance of life as they aid in pollination, my kid was surprised when I revealed that pollination was a purposeful accident: purposeful by nature, accidental by the bee. The bee focuses only on the nectar. But the fruits of that process, in turn, provide her and other living beings food for their survival. Unfaltering from her job she does a great service to the planet. Driving back home that evening the bee again buzzed my mind. Those in a career could take a cue from the bee. Doctors, for instance, could strive to fetch t...

UNLOCKED 2. Support GRANTED

The tag line under a recent advertisement read - life 2.0. Isn't it better to say realization 1.0 for the post-covid era? Life starts throbbing for us past few weeks since the primitive streak, safe inside the womb. As we sail on in life, there happens a non-deliberate forgetfulness as to what exactly is that which matters and forms a support system for us to cruise. Pat comes in the covid lockdown forcing all to maintain their geo-position status quo. A spectrum of emotions was to follow in the coming days. In the race of life, for many, the frills were the only things visible; they had forgotten the stitch that held the cloth together.  Being stuck at either home or far from it made everyone realize the importance of many a thing. Many in pursuit of a career were ignoring the silent supporters back home. They were cherishing the rungs of their career and foolishly thinking that it's the workplace that made them go in life. They suddenly realize that it isn't what they tho...

Tea Truths

 After a recent flu, I found myself having a dislike for tea. I was surprised because tea had always been my favorite. Homeopathy selects medicines based on many individual traits, and I looked up in my repertory for a medicine that had an aversion to tea. I had it, and it relieved me of the flu very fast. But in the next few weeks, I saw another peculiar thing happening to me. I wasn’t enjoying the tea I made. I was weak after recovering from the flu. I wanted something to brighten me up. But tea from my regular tea shops was as tasty as before, maybe more. I was bemused.  Curiosity made me a bit restless. Darjeeling tea made with grass-fed cow milk boiled in water drawn from the well boiled with utmost care did not taste as sweet as the ones from the shops. I started my thought journey from the hills, where the tea was plucked, to the sink, where I washed my teacup. Voila, in a matter of seconds, I found it! The tea, sugar, milk, cups, teapot, and my poor old stove were not ...
