Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR Our ancients were wise folks. They had a ken for detail. They also knew the value of nature’s bounty much better, perhaps, than us — the so-called advanced species with no potent remedial answer, at one point, to the COVID-19 storm that rattled and is rattling our civilisation. We owe it
Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR Each of us can achieve eminence in life and career. Agreed that it isn’t easy — but, what helps one to attain distinction is focused thought and a constant desire to be what one wants to be. You can’t, of course, achieve just by thinking alone until you internalise your thoughts
Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR When was the last time you listened to the chirping of birds — not just posting, or reading, ‘tweets’ on Twitter?

Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR ThinkWellness360 is one-year-old today. A milestone, not just the e-magazine’s first anniversary. Yet, the fact remains that there’s a long way for us to go, because your favourite e-magazine is, as yet, relatively new — the new kid on the block. A kid trying to grow up, not quickly, but gradually,
Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR There are a number of ideas as there are interpretations on the nature of our consciousness. There ends the comparison. However, there is one idea that is quite different from any such prospective work in the field. A perceptive study, it breaks new ground and develops a strongly meditative and original
Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR For most of us being calm in the face of difficulty is tantamount to emotional maturity, or serenity.

Yes — you got it right. This is precisely the premise, a vocation like no other, for Jeffrey Kacirk, a research aficionado, with
Words: Dr Rajgopal NIDAMBOOR Most of us get hurt at the drop of an insensitive, if not spiteful, taunt. Not just as much, if someone else is at the receiving end. The ‘hurt impact’ is, of course, variable — depending upon which side of the fence you sit, or don’t sit — even when the
