FOOD and VITALITY - the debate continues
A friend of mine brings a gift for me. An ashtray made out of white marble stone! Beautifully crafted! She is beaming with excitement while gifting it to me. I am a bit shocked than surprised! What should I do with it? I nor smoke neither allow any visitor to smoke in our house! She argues that I am not appreciating the gift as she expected me to do! I appreciate the craft! Indeed, it is a good work, embossed delicately. This could be a good showpiece but not an ashtray for me. She perhaps sensed the untold statement in my eyes - “The ashtray cannot be considered useful for me for its actual purpose!” She gets annoyed! I am helpless to help her… This article is in continuation with the dialectical understanding of food NOT giving energy or VITALITY. Well, the statement, many times, has been countered intelligently and repeatedly during my interactions with people. One of the recent interactions raised a very intelligent ques

FOOD and VITALITY - the vital understanding
Recently, I came across this advertisement! It says “We make a dead person, alive”! I shall not even waste time ridiculing this advertisement. I shall come straight to the point of the foundation! What is the foundation of this thought process of claiming to make a dead person, alive? The seed is the misconceptions about the VITALITY! Unless we understand the aspect of vitality well, we would suffer from a lot of superstitions related to our health and happiness altogether. Wherever we see a life, we experience the existence of VITALITY. Seeing the life around us might trigger the assumptions of vitality-enhancement as - lives usually look similar. But technically, the vitality cannot be interchangeable due to the non-compatible uniqueness. The vitality of the individual is unique to that individual only. If the vitality would have been increased through external enhancements, mankind would have averted death by now! Averting death is det

LUCKY CHARM SYNDROME - THE LAB REPORTS SYNDROME!
“This pen is very lucky for me. I score well every time I use this pen for any exam!

Naturopathy 101, for the middle class and more!
Definition of health Health does not merely refer to physical fitness. The WHO in 1948, gave a worldly acceptable definition of Health which goes by, 'Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely absence of disease or infirmity ‘. Which means a person has to be mentally, emotionally and physically be considered ‘healthy'. This might not be truly applicable to the present world - A world divided by class, caste and creed.

Every city is fighting with rising garbage levels. Many city corporations are struggling keeping up with the enormous amounts of waste generated. In many cities, kitchen waste, dry waste and toxic waste get mixed up and dumped in landfills which are toxic and destroy the health of the environment and people. So, how can citizens help to alleviate the problem? Garden city to garbage city? One of the battles we fight here in Bangalore is garbage.

Ethical Dissonance and Compassionate Integrity

Scene 2 I met one of my vegetarian friends who chose vegetarianism to opt nonviolence against animals. I met him in a marriage counsellor's office, he was accused of beating his wife badly! Scene 3 I met this secular Indian nationalist who I found very much rational in identifying that there is no difference between any religion – we all are same! He was giving a burning speech about how Chinese are bad! Dissonances-Dissonances-Dissonances Everywhere, the imposed ethical practices are full of dissonances.
