     I went to their home as they wanted me to give a lady an injection of IV antibiotic. I started going through all the blood reports and scan reports just to get an idea of what exactly had happened to her. She had endometritis after undergoing a cesarean section. Her Doctor had advised to continue a couple of injections for a few days post discharge. As I was loading the antibiotic in the 10ml syringe, the old man started commenting - " That doctor unnecessarily did cesarean. I told them, we can do normal delivery only. But they wanted to do cesarean "  I replied - " The Doctor will do cesarean, only if there is an indication. If you can show me the discharge paper I can tell you what the reason was. " The old man didn't seem convinced, he went on to say - " No. She has had normal deliveries previously. The Doctor did cesarean for money. " And I chose to be quiet. It's natural for old people to be adamant. But a latin derived word d...

Eid-ul-Adha (The festival of sacrifice) or what is also called as Baqrid in the subcontinent is one of the two eids or festivals in the religion of Islam. It is celebrated on the 10th of Dhul hijja month of the islamic calender. Many know this day as a day when Muslims slaughter animals and have sheerkurma in the morning and biryani in the noon. But many people (including many muslims) are unaware of the significance of the ritual slaughter. In this blog, I shall discuss the significance of this festival and the practice of ritual slaughter.

He was blessed with children only after old age. God tested Ibrahim by asking him to sacrifice his son for the sake of God. Although Ibrahim loved his son dearly, he obliged by the command of God and  with a lot of pain in his heart, he became ready to ...

CHARITY - An act of compassion, an obligation on the rich, a right of the poor & a command of the almighty. But one of the greatest errors that many people do is that they practice charity & expect something from people in return. And that expectation can be admiration, political benefit, obedience, name & fame or a simple thank you. This truely is a worthless way of practicing charity. Remember that the responsibility of providing to all creatures is not on you, but rather it's on the one who created you. In the bewildering wilderness of Amazon and in the depths of Pacific, there exists creatures which would amaze us, but what is more amazing is the fact that these creatures thrive and survive without a 9 to 4 job or any bank balance. A bird leaves it's nest empty stomach and returns after having it's fill everyday. My point being, he who takes care of these creatures can also take care of the poor and the needy of the society. Even if we stop doing...
