Be aware what really is your medicine.




All of us have taken some medicines at certain point of our life. medicines have become an unavoidable part of our living. At any moment in our house, at least a member of the family could be taking medicines. Therefore it becomes essential for us to understand the safe use of medicines.

Firstly medicines are prescribed for specific conditions in the body. Medicines  should be used for the right illness in right dosage at right time for the right patient. We should adhere to the advice of doctor regarding the use of medicines. If you have doubts then straight way ask your pharmacist or doctor.

In our society, we take medicines too lightly. We almost believe that Medicines are "medicines". But unfortunately this is not the case. many if not all the medicines have unwanted side effects. Some of these side effects can be fatal at times. This means we have to be aware of what we are ingesting into our bodies as medicines. The information can be easily obtained from your Pharmacist or your doctor.

Not adhering to the advise from your doctor and pharmacist can be a costly decision: both in terms of time lost and health. Always ask regarding your medicines. Ask questions like "how this medicines helps to cure my illness?" , 'what precautions should I take while I am on this medication?", etc.

Be aware of your medicines for better health and better life.

courtesy: https://www.saatchiart.com Every morning when you wake up, the first feeling that appears in your mind is that strong sense of ‘I’. ‘I should get up and get ready for work’. “I had an awful dream this night’. ‘I’ should dress well at work place and so on. ‘I’ is the center of our universe. Little do we realize that this very sense of a permanent, self-existing ‘I’ is the very source of all pains and sorrows in the world? The Buddha said it all when he said, “You are your own savior and you are your own enemy. While committing an unwholesome deed you are your own witness”. Let us set to examine this ‘I’ in some detail. This ‘I’ is a mere label tagged to a composite of matter-mind complex that we call a human being. If you search this ‘I’ you will never find a solid, concrete, independent ‘I’ with all characteristics such as color, shape, size, form etc. This body is not ‘I’. And body parts such as hands, legs, eyes, head are not 'I'. If body parts

Sangay Nampar Nangzay, (Mahavairicana) Blessed rainy day, locally known as Thrue-Bab , is truly an indigenous Bhutanese festival.  With exception of Bhutan, in no other parts of the world it is celebrated. It is believed that on the particular day, the rain is thought to be sanctified by the cosmic Buddha Mahavairocana . And therefore, taking a cleansing bath from the divine rain water collected overnight is thought to purify all  defilement  and bad karma of a person. The festival also marks the end of farming season and start of harvest months. In eastern Bhutan, blessed rainy day is a big festival. People call it as the gateway to other celebrations because Blessed Rainy Day is the first of all festivals in the Bhutanese calendar.

A curious case: Rebirth after thousand years

A curious case: Rebirth after thousand years An elderly man from Norfolk in England called Arthur Flowerdew, who from the age of twelve experienced inexplicable but vivid mental pictures of what seemed like some great city surrounded by desert. One of the images that came most frequently to his mind was of a temple apparently carved out of a cliff. These strange images kept coming back to him, especially when he played with the pink and orange pebbles on the seashore near his home. As he grew older, the details of the city in his vision grew clearer, and he saw more buildings, the layout of the streets, soldiers, and the approach to the city itself through a narrow canyon. Arthur Flowerdew much later in his life, quite by chance, saw a television documentary film on the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. He was astounded to see, for the very first time, the place he had carried around for so many years in those pictures in his mind. He claimed afterward that he had never
