Insta Profile

 My Insta profile......


When I was young,the fingers were pointed out on my short plump and not fair profile.
Those fingers did make me concious especially in my teens and more when in crowd or in occasions amongst people.
My group of MBBS friends were planning on a Reunion after almost 25yrs.
My anxiety over my profile overrode  my enthusiasm for meeting my dear batchmates after so many years.

Yes.
Insta Profile- how I look,my body,my face,my dressing....
External Appearance.....
As young as 10yr old girls are anxious about Insta Profile.
How world views them?
How they appear to the outside world?

Pre Social media, when girls came of marriageable age.....the looks mattered a lot in the " Matrimonial Market".

Post Social Media,all ages...are anxious about their " Insta Profile".
A teen with a changing body structure and hormonal imbalances giving them acne,plump body,dysmorphism.....are suffering  and struggling with mental issues like depression, eating disorder, body and gender phobias,....
To attract many followers and viewers on their Insta Profile, they are resorting to body shopping,Morphing, AI generated pictures ,fad diets,Provocative Dressing, Suggestive Reels,......
As we age,our External Appearance changes with Motherhood and later with Menopause.
Comparing each others Insta Profile,...something as natural as Aging is fought hard.
Resorting to age reversing procedures,Following unhealthy diets,Regimes,Strenuous Fitness drills....to look young,fight bulges and wrinkles.....


Insta Profile has taken over our essence of life.
Instead of working hard to build our individual personality and identity,skills and credibility,....youth concentrates on Building a good Insta Profile to garner followers.
Adults are not accepting a Process called Aging....
Social Media and Marketing Industry are taking advantage of this Fad to " Look" Youthful.
The teens are lured to look older than their age....
The Aged are enticed to fit into  half their respective age.....
A 10/"15 yr old aspires to look 25....

A 50 yr old fights hard to still be in her 20s.

No wonder,society today is ever disappointed, anxious, unhappy and depressed.

Being Healthy is not same as as Physically perfect.
Fitness is not Perfect Body Dimensions.

Healthy diet includes right amount of Carbohydrates, Fats,Proteins and essential elements. All are required in adequate proportions.
Fitness means Body strength and Stamina. Simple Cardio,Yoga and Meditation are enough.

A Healthy Body.
A Peaceful Mind.
A Benevolent Heart which contributes to society.

My Insta Profile needs these more than my Looks.

I QUIT!!!!

  I Quit!!!! Yesterday, my kids favorite teacher,a very motivating person who helped so many students perform better .....a disturbed student, a student finding it difficult to cope,an average or below average student  ....so many of them,he not only taught them to fare well but boosted confidence into them to do well with their life......such a person QUIT......He ended his life by hanging himself in his house....leaving a bereaved aged mother,a dependent wife and 2 very small children behind. Few days back,a Radiologist committed suicide while another Post Graduate student succumbed to Depression. Life is a challenge. Life is unpredictable. To all. Just as a Sinus Curve....there are Ups and Downs in life. Students have pressure of exams. Youth have professional career pressures. Adults have umpteen challenges. Finance,Relationship, Career,Illnesses....Peer and Society pressures.....Loans and EMI  .....Bull And Bear Stock Market add to the pressure.If added Addic...

When you lose Health

 When you lose your health...... I was referred a 70yr man suffering from severe pain. A CA Lung with metastasis. He was a very successful, famous Advocate.A Robust and Dynamic personality yesterday.  But that Cancer had made him weak and vulnerable.  He had become a frail shadow..... Another patient with Parkinson 's disease regularly visits for pain relief . A retired Chairman of a Conglomerate.  Both these people have been Dynamic personalities looked up on by everyone. They inspired youth by their enormous work and attitude.  Today,though the Brain is very strong..... The Body became weak and debilitating.  They get emotional " Why me,Doctor?" " Just look at me today.Yesterday I was energetic and always on the go.Today I struggle with pain.Tomorrow I may either be on a wheel chair or bedridden for the rest of my life." Yes,it pains,breaks even a Doctor's heart. We Doctors are taught not to be emotionally attached to the disease .We can sympathize the su...
