Artefacts or remains of the past are often preserved with utmost care and are usually forbidden to human touch except its caretakers and priests (if required). Yes, you read it right – Priests are often in close contact with such objects. But why? Because these objects are remnants of the past, and they’ve been subjected to curses, cult practices & rituals, sacrifices, etc, and their exposure to humans can bring some unwanted menaces with them.

It’s been a while since finding that medicine has become a tough row to hoe for me both in walk in pharmacies & online portals. At last when I couldn’t find it, the pharmacist offered me its alternative within same price range and same salt. Although I’ve been his familiar & old patient and I trust him by all means, but there’s something about this incident that I can’t ignore, i.e.: Partisanship . One can visualise the drastic impacts of partisanship in Indian medical profession just by the fact that now it’s being labelled as ‘ Indian Medical Industry ’, or at least this is what it has been made. The mere word Industry instead of Profession imparts the sense of business replacing what used to be a practice. Hadn’t it been for 2nd wave of Covid-19, led by Wuhan Virus, it’d have been still left unnoticed. But not anymore, let’s dwell into its ins & outs. MEDICINES
