Shared stage with stalwarts in Endoscopic ultrasound. Felt honoured. Had a wonderful time at the YGCON 2025. Team work matters.

Through the Window, the Sea of Life

Through the window lies a sea,
Boundless, shifting, wild, yet free.
Its calm reminds of gentle days,
Its waves of trials, shifting ways.

The horizon glows with morning light,
A promise born from darkest night.
Each sunrise whispers, begin anew,
No storm can steal the hope in view.

Every wave that climbs, then falls,
Echoes life’s uncertain calls.
Highs that lift, lows that sting,
Yet each return may treasures bring.

In depths unseen, great wonders thrive,
The sea sustains, it keeps alive.
Like rivers flowing to its care,
We too must give, we too must share.

If fear clouds sight, the view seems blurred,
But hope can shift the whispered word.
Perspective clears the mist away,
And paints the sea in brighter sway.

So gaze, and learn from water’s art,
The sea of life reflects the heart.
For every tide and every wave,
Teaches us to be strong, yet brave.

Constipation is a very common condition faced by almost everyone at some point of time. Constipation doesn’t only mean hard stools. It also includes sensation of incomplete evacuation and need for straining and also manoeuvres to clear the bowel.
Modern day lifestyle has made us more susceptible to develop constipation. Older generations diet included plenty of fiber- salads- greens, water and regular physical activity.
Nowadays we are taking more refined diet and hardly doing any physical activity and becoming couch potatoes.
One point to highlight in this post is the natural passage for clearing stool is better in squatting position- Indian commode. What happens with Western commode is, the angle of Re**um and a**s is more oblique and hence emptying is not proper and there develops the need to strain and consequently complications like Piles, Fissure, Fistula….
If you can’t squat due to knee pain, you could use a foot stool to create a better angle for evacuation.
Old is gold as the adage goes. Prefer Indian diet and Indian commode.

The spirit menace, We Shall Overcome

Prepared from starches and sugars by fermentation,
A liquid menace haunting many a nation.
What starts with peer pressure or social delight,
Turns into a shadow that steals away light.

Unaware of its creeping consequences,
Euphoria fades, replaced by drowsy sentences.
The leading cause of self-inflicted harm,
It strikes the organs without alarm.

Liver drenches, heart wrenches,
Nerves cry out, the pancreas clenches.
A known cause of cancers thread
Breast, colon, liver, neck, and head.

Accidents don’t just occur, they’re caused,
When judgment’s blurred and driving’s paused.
Families break, society sways,
Anxiety, depression cloud the days.

Addiction, aggression, work in decay,
Finances dwindle and slip away.
By the time the truth hits straight,
It may already be too late.

But better late than never, they say—
Quitting is tough, yet there’s a way.
With dear ones near and rehab’s aid,
A brighter path can still be laid.

Physicians might lend medicine,
But no magic pill can wholly win.
Surely the Government can put a tax,
Without any scope of implementation lax.

Anonymous societies can definitely help
But it all starts with you, the first step.
Before you’re overrun and undone—
Just pause and think: We shall overcome.
