Life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
— Albert Einstein
We have almost forgotten about the virus. We may have forgotten the toll it took on others, while we remember the ones we lost ourselves. We may have also forgotten the doctors, the people we said were on the front.
We needed them badly. We were even more thankful than ever before. But they have been telling us something for a long time now.
They have always known.
Modern life is full of unavoidable excess. That is the genesis of imbalance.
Amitav —
I don't go to extremes. Sometimes I feel like breaking the rule. When I was a student, I used to break the rule and say — let's go for, the complete night. Keep cycling or go for watching three movies at a time. But I have always, tamed down myself to an extent that I feel that I need to balance myself.
Join Amitav and me, as we speak about balance, and the lessons from the pandemic for our health.
Like all good doctors, Amitav has seen health and suffering from very close quarters but unlike many doctors, speaks for wellness being more about balance in life.
He received the The Times of India Medical Pioneer Award in 2016 and combines a history of over 30 years in treating people with a keen interest in teaching medical school students.
Write to him and ask him how to make balance in your life, as I tried doing on Salil today.
cheers, Salil
P.S. Doctors are human too.
A remarkable doctor, an award winning human being — Amitav simplifies wellness for the rest of us.
