" I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage" I have said this pledge all my 12 years of school life. I strongly believe in it.
But now I have a strange problem. I have somehow stopped liking all this ostentation in the name of GOD. I have neither the patience nor the inclination to devote long times in all the IDOL worship that happens around me.
I want my child to know and read all the Indian literature and scriptures for the sake of understanding the rich culture that we have. My child should know all the festivals that we celebrate and should take an active part in diwali pooja and Holi color festival.
How do I ensure that I give my child all the necessary INDIAN education without going overboard and getting carried away far far..

Be informed...or else
Last week I had gone to see a dermatologist..off lately I have been experiencing a huge hairfall and was concern. She is an expensive doc so I thought twice before I made my mind to visit. I told her very clearly that I have had a cesarean and my baby is only 5 months old.
"Disinterested" was written all over her face.
She listened to me as she had no other option.
After I had told my story, she simply started writing prescription without asking anything else apart from what I told her.
She took 1.5 minutes to finish this task. This is what she prescribed
1) 1 semi liquid medicine to be applied on scalp.
2) 1 multivitamin for the morning
3) 1 Iron tablet to be had in the evening after meals.
She almost read to me what was written on the sheet and advised me to revisit after a month.
Now when I went to chemist to buy those medicines, I was shocked to find that the first solution would cost me around Rs 1100 and the other two brands medicines will cost me around 500 for a 10 days dose.
Anyway cos I was really worried so I bought those and came home happily though a little sad at the little hole in the pocket.
I have a thing for reading the pamphlets of all the medicines before consuming the. I do this purely for the sake of curiosity and nothing else.
When I read the pamphlet, I was shocked to read the following lines.
" Strictly advised not to be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding."
" Not to be taken if you do not have a family history of baldness"
I was angry and sad. I have a 5 month old baby, does that not mean I am breastfeeding my child. Should the doctor not have asked me?
Why has she not enquired me about my family history of baldness?
If I had not read the pamphlet, I would have probably fed poison to my baby through my milk. I want to sue that doctor, not sure of the right procedure to do it.
