Small drops of water make an ocean. Life is also like a mammoth water body that collects every nugget or drop of experience in its belly and gives birth to our current reality. It can be compared to a jigsaw puzzle where only one piece can be seen in its entirety unless we find all the pieces. While seeing the complete picture is not in our hands, making every piece of the puzzle worthwhile is in our control. Childhood is the perfect time to work on a person, to imbibe the right samskaras that become the building blocks to adult life. A calm, collected and focussed mind is not achieved in a matter of days, weeks, or even months. It’s a lifelong process and the intention has to be set […]

Gross anatomy is the study of the larger structures of the Human body, those visible without the aid of magnification. Macro- means “large,” thus, gross anatomy is also referred […]
