holistic medicine

Yes.

That would be exactly what I aspire to practice in the future. 

Holistic Medicine. 

Being able to provide my patient with a solution that he is comfortable with. Both physically and financially is of utmost importance. 

If my patient refuses mass produced pharmaceutical products based on years of research and clinical trials, and his choice ought to be respected. 

Then again, I do not advocate abandoning the individual, rather provide him with options that may or may not be on par with the medicine I have been taught to practice. But if it brings about positive changes I ask why not?

I grew up on Ayurveda, Siddha and Homeopathy.

Along the way, I was exposed to Hatha Yoga. 

I attended medical school in the East and was educated on Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine along with my medical (western) degree. 

Given the background, I suppose this take of mine comes as no surprise. Late maybe.

PS: A specialization on Emergency Medicine would be an icing on this varied cake. 

i am happy. very happy.

"We suffer more often in imagination than in reality".

I haven't slept for over 46 hours. I have been traversing three different continents, cities, time zones in a multitude of transport systems. I haven't had a change of pants in three days. I have a bunch of currencies in my jean pocket; when presented together will be considered an unacceptable payment method. The last proper meal I had was well over twenty-four hours. Yet...I am happy. Very happy.

2011 was an Experiment.

Days before 2011 begun, I made resolutions. Half of which yet to be completed. Largely because 2011 was a short, short year. I didn't have time. And they say, whoever that was, time waits for no one. And it certainly didn't wait for me to play catch up.

Sometimes I just wanna do EVERYTHING :))

A year that was highly experimental on my part. I took plunges on a whim, risked things just so curious to find out what laid around the corner. I went on a trip of a lifetime, took up a job only to realize it was not my cup of tea or coffee for that matter. Met some incredible people in the most unlikeliest of situations. Turned 24 and simultaneously realized nothing has changed. The list goes on...

Now tomorrow this time, all that happened would be considered to be in "the past year".


I hope to enter 2012 with an open mind. Which would also explain my lack of resolutions.

Void of expectations.

I'm gonna take things as they come. The voyager sails on...Happy 2012!
