Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR You are cool, calm and collected when you comprehend your own feelings. All of us can attain such a state without being Zen masters by accommodating our and others’ sensitivities and sensibilities. This is because our fellow beings are just like us, our likes, dislikes, moods etc. When you begin to
Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR Think of the most improbable miniature helicopter of all, or those unbearable ‘drum beats’ in your ear.
