This post may sound bit early I know but some of the schools are already having vacation some will have soon. I still remember and cherish memories of vacation that we used to have. No restrictions, No vacation classes, No study in vacation, No hobby classes, And free roaming around with cousins without wires. Today vacation has become headache for parents and kids.

His words weren’t just words; they came straight from his heart. Now, I’m not here to extol the health benefits of chocolates, nor has any chocolate company made me their brand ambassador! But what happened today has stayed with me, and I want to share the story that lies behind this sweet moment. About a month ago, this very man walked into my clinic, visibly distressed. Sweating profusely, clutching his chest, and in real discomfort, he came alone, without any relatives. He had a history of kidney issues, but nothing could have prepared me for what we were about to face. We quickly assessed his situation. The pain in his chest wasn’t just any ordinary discomfort. We acted fast...
