Wellness Thoughts

Planning to have a page on Wellness Thoughts. My favourite Twitter Endo(crinologist) Dr Vinod Abhichandani shares the best quotes.  You can follow him on Twitter at DrVinodEndo.

 

The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

Forever – is composed of Nows

Eye donation tips learnt on Twitter from Dr Swati Garekar,  Pediatric Cardiologist.

 

 

The universal phone number in India to contact the eye bank is 1919.

 

Dr Vivek Arora,  Ophthalmologist, responded:

 

 

Call to 1919 can me made whether or not the deceased person had pledged their eyes. The consent of immediate family  is required.

 

 

Wrong Food Combinations

Here are some thoughts on Wrong Food Combinations based on a Twitter thread.

 

Wrong Food Combinations

Depression, Suicidal Thoughts, Mental Health

Mental health is an important part of our health. Most of us neglect health. Similarly, most of us ignore mental health.  Some of us are unfortunate to have mental illnesses. Some of us are caregivers or family or friends of those who are mentally ill. Many of us can "proudly" say I have Diabetes. It is rare for someone to admit, I have Depression.  I am planning to share information here for those facing depression or having suicidal thoughts . I am hoping it will help such individuals and also their caregivers, families and friends.

Food

I love food like everyone else. I cook sometimes. I am a lazy-crazy cook. I mostly use ready-mixes. Yes, those instant packets. I love using the microwave. I love watching YouTube recipes. But I never follow any recipe...just follow it broadly.

Movies

For the last few years, the average number of movies seen is one per day. Well, almost.  Seen most Marathi movies first day, first show. Now watch them on OTT platform.

Marathi

I am learning Marathi for 5 years now. 3 years of learning at Mumbai University. I love watching Marathi films, listen to Marathi songs, and dig into Marathi food, and delve into Marathi culture. आणि दुर्दैव बघा. मी इंग्रेजित लिहीत आहे! पण काळजी करू नका. मराठीत पण लीहेण!

Translation Trauma

Planning to post some translation ideas, views here. I am a "retired" French to English translator. I find Hindi/Marathi to English translation so difficult that I have given it up!

 

Never thought I would have tears while translating. (er, I do not mean the ones that you get chasing payments!)

I had tears translating this Saree Story from Marathi to English.
