……..And on other days, I simply wander off with my camera,” Dr Sandeep believes that each one of us has an untapped potential to feel on top of the world. “Seek, and you will find,” he smiles.

Ask Dr Nirja Chawla, a gynaecologist what she enjoys doing after work and her reply is simple, “Nothing. Just sitting, watching and observing is my window to a brand-new me,” the doctor recalls that one day she made a conscious decision to be with herself and feel each moment and minute. You can understand what’s happening inside your body and mind once you focus and bring your attention to yourself. “It has such a calming effect. Don’t try and shut your mind, for you will create a fight. Watch it jump and after a while the thoughts will stop and there will be immense peace and absolute state of health,” the doc sounds philosophical, but practices it daily. Pains, aches, stomach problems, gynae troubles, the underlying cause for most of these health problems is stress, our inability to deal with issues, flow with what’s happening, accept what is and will be. “In the beginning, you may find yourself brooding, but with time it will change and you will be at peace. Just put everything at the back and you in the front. Take the aid of yoga, breathing techniques, pranayam to help you be happy with you and then it will become a habit,” Dr Nirja is now looking forward to join Bharat Thakur’s artistic yoga for care of her body and soul. Go on, look within.
