In our fast paced lives, there are only few times in a week when the entire family sits together for a meal. I, being a firm believer in the idea – “The family which eats together, stays together” – have been trying for our Sunday lunch to be a family affair – my wife, two […]

In medicine, sometimes the diagnosis is simple and obvious. It merely takes bit of time, patience and clinical acumen on part of the treating doctor to clinch it.
