Allopathy n Naturopathy?

Friends,

Today I learnt a new phrase from The Times of India: VEXATIOUS
LITIGANT. The news item on the front page reads: "A lawyer who dragged his estranged wife ... to court in a record 115 cases has been stopped in his tracks. The HC admitted the petition ... by Maharashtra advocate general Ravi Kadam to declare Kazi a vexatious litigant."
(Kazi is that lawyer fellow who has been filing 115 petitions against his wife.) I want to use this phrase. I declare Sir Vinod, Sir S Halagiri, and Sir Hemant as VEXATIOUS LITIGANTSÂ against Allopathy. And I declare Sir Arun a VEXATIOUS LITIGANTÂ against sanity in general.
Cheers
Sanjiv


Dear Sir Bhatla,
Thank you for awarding me this honorary degree (V.L.). Does it also come with a cash prize?
It is not easy fighting this Goliath called Allopathy that milks all Americans (even healthy ones via taxes) to the tune of over two trillion dollars every year, most of which is worse than pure waste. My problem is that the real Mr. Allopathy is not a member of this forum and is not obliged to respond to my litigation even once, let alone 115 times. I wish someone could actually litigate against Mr. Allopathy in a real court of law for all the countless lies he promotes 115,000 times a year.
Of course, we do have many strong supporters of Mr. Alloathy on this forum, starting with you. But in the end, it is not even about allopathy vs. non-allopathy because no system is best for every situation. The ideal system would integrate the best of all systems, but since each system, especially allopathy, has become so provincial, it would not even acknowledge the existence of effective alternatives. At Kaiser, a doctor would not prescribe a home remedy to her patients (e.g., ginger/honey/turmeric for cold/cough) even though she prescribes it for her own family members. Why? Because the gods of allopathy will frown on her and she may get fired.
Incidentally, people (especially us IITians at this age) don't learn anything significant from a casual discussion of most topics. They usually have well thought out and strongly held opinions on most subjects. Therefore, lines like "Allopaths are the Men of Medicine and Naturopaths are mere Boys' may make for good poetry, but don't help in any practical way. It is only when people's long-held assumptions are challenged in a substantial debate, that they are forced to think deeper.

Journalling!

I've heard that journalling is a nice way to keep a record of one's experiences so that we can later recall, learn and introspect, and that's it's also a form of meditation where we can clear our minds before heading to bed. I have a horrible habit of starting things and never finishing them; the list of these things is so long that I don't even know where to begin. Journalling is one of them. It's a habit I want to cultivate for myself and see if it provides enrichment to my life in any way. I also have a horrible memory, so this way I can always refer back to the thoughts and ideas floating in my brain and dump them out here to make it the world's problem :P Since I don't have a lot of followers I welcome you all to unfollow if I get too boring. Making this public is an easy way for me to stick to it and be consistent. So let me start off by talking about how my day/week has been. Since the beginning of the lockdown in India because of Covid19, my ro...

Girlfriend: And are you sure you love me and no one else? Boyfriend: Dead Sure! I checked the whole list again yesterday Waiter: Would you like your coffee black?

The Circle Review

27th July 2017 When I saw the trailer for Circle something like a year ago, it seemed pretty interesting, something similar on the lines of Black Mirror. As the film progressed I only noticed how bad the writing, direction and acting was (despite the renowned cast). There was an obvious, in your face message of the dangers of a world surrounded by surveillance and a lack of ‘privacy’ in a futuristic digital world. The main character Mae’s decisions are so contradictory to her established personality, she feels very superficial and unrelatable. Her actions seem to be without motive or any prior driving force.   The very apparent difference between a series like Black Mirror and a film like Circle, is that the former allows room for question of ethics and basic human rights. It provokes deep thought and discussion. I guess they intended to present a larger-than-life social commentary on the ‘dangers of technology’ but instead leave you absolutely disappointed with...
