Dr Alok Sharma is MD [Obstetrics and Gynaecology], MICOG, DHA. Registrar, Kamla Nehru State Hospital for Mother and Child.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a problem in which a woman’s hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with your periods. PCOS also may cause unwanted changes in the way you look. If it isn’t treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease. Most women with PCOS grow many small cysts on their ovaries. That is why it is called polycystic ovary syndrome. The cysts are not harmful but lead to hormone imbalances.

Dental Caries

Dr Bharti Sharma, BDS (Rajasthan), SMO (Dental), CHC Nadaun, Hamirpur, July, 2015

“If a patient cannot clean his teeth, no dentist can clean them fore him” – William R Alger

Dental caries or dental cavities are very common dental problems among children as well as adults.

Chapslee – A Mirror to the Past

Ritanjali Hastir, December, 2015, Shimla

“To maintain the spirit of heritage, it is very important to use the place for the purpose for which it was actually built”, says Kanwar Ratanjit.

It is said, “For every picture you take a moment in time is remembered. A family’s heritage is its personal journey through history. Memories will fade making the written word priceless. In every family someone must take time to preserve its past. Looking at the past can strengthen who you are today. Yesterday is gone, but the memories are cherished through photos and journals” and the same statement can be easily co-related to Kanwar Ratanjit Singh, owner of ‘Chapslee Estate’, one of the oldest houses of Shimla City.

A Minute to Read

Sonia Dogra, Freelance Writer, Suratgarh, Rajasthan

What can really make young brains tick?

Well, I says, it is only the power of the word that can ignite our little dynamites. What can be better, dear children, than growing in the company of BOOKS. Every single word you read makes you a dreamer of sorts, every single book you open fills your life with light, gives you a vision and kindles your imagination. Before you know it, you have taken the plunge and you are in the middle of a vast sea of knowledge — one that you are willing to swim across and yet hope that it never ends.

Great Debate : 68 Years of Shackled Freedom?

The entire nation is all set to celebrate the 68th Independence Day on 15th August 2014. In spite of that fact that more half a century has passed away since we are celebrating this day, Keekli’s reporter, Ritanjali Hastir brings you people’s take on this day.

Raj Verma (private employee): Means a holiday

In the current times, I don’t think that we all are patriotic. This day only signifies a holiday when we all can rest or do things that we like. During our childhood, we did celebrate the day and sing patriotic songs but now the zeal is gone. I do feel that if the time was different then definitely this day would have held more significance for us all as we are not much concerned about the nation as whole but are self centered.

Cycling to Health

Ritanjali Hastir, Freelance Writer, July, 2014, Shimla

In current times when human activities have restricted to machines alone, cycling is the new trend picking up in the City.

Someone rightly said, “When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man’s convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man’s brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others”.

Etiquettes

Col Rajiv Kapoor,  SATA Wing

It may appear very petty to read but certain syllables of body language or vocal words convey some very negative signals.

  • Rushing for a dinner plate while ladies, elders or even small children are waiting.
  • When a plate of snacks / eatables is offered, picking up the biggest piece (pieces). The etiquette is to pick up the nearest piece.

Mistaken Identity AKA Comedy of Errors

Col Rajiv KapoorSATA Wing, (The Poor Kapoor)

I will certainly be blowing my own trumpet today – pardon me – and after I loose my breath doing that I will sue Brig Mirji and his coterie at MS 11 for posting me in “duplicate” here in School of Arty, not once, not twice, but for three tenures. You all will vouch for me that this is intentional! Its ok if a man lives a dual personality but its too much if it is from two different physical bodies and three much if it is a crude remix of “pure” and “poor”. Confused, are all you readers? You ought to be since I (we?) have been confused for full 25 years.
