Bipolar Disorder Hit

 I am gonna talk for real now.

I hope it will contribute to the pool of those suffering from Bipolar Disorder.

I was 16 when my father passed away. He was the only breadwinner of my family. I didn't cry.


I inherited a stable and a farm here in Mumbai.

Everything went OK for a while. I won a landmark case for my family. Not everybody was happy.

When I was 17, I developed lost Love affair with my education that I left. I told everyone that I want to resume my studies and I wish to resign from my inherited work.

Then I cleared my matriculation and went for higher studies in the junior college.

Once I had an episode of depression which was later characterized as Dysthymia ( some sort of Depression)

I was in love with a girl in my college which was one-sided and later upon arrival she said to me no , Just friends. I was in another phase of depression and became Rum master of my college.

I was drunk all the time.

Some time passed. I went to a well known Psychiatrist and was back on track.

I did some good international jobs with an international call centres.

I was in love again with a girl who is presently and proudly my wife. I was on and off between my jobs. The only stable income that came to my household was from the properties inherited.

Today I am a full fledged subject of Bipolar Disorder with mood swings of high and lows. Some periods I am very creative and productive and some periods I am low and depressed.

If you take your medications religiously, you will be fine. If you don't, then your problems are bound to increase.

During your productive periods, I suggest you to maintain your journal of ideas and thoughts that are coming to your head. Make sure that you are not slipping into your mania period.

When you talk fast and you are full of ideas then you must go to your Psychiatrist who will prescribe you some medicines to slow down.

If you feeling low and depressed. You should visit your Psychiatrist who will prescribe you some medicines to lift you up.

Your caregiver plays a very important role in your life.

A caregiver can be your wife, your mother, anyone who is closely associated with you who can chalk down his or her observations of you before your doctor ( psychiatrist )

Living with a lifelong condition is not an easy task.Make sure you are confident about your doctor psychiatrist and you listen to your caregiver.

That's exactly what I do, there are millions suffering from Bipolar Disorder. Not everyone go to a doctor psychiatrist. But if you are lucky and calling, there's always a support ecosystem for you. Feel blessed and love everyone around you. 

Love your caregiver and hopefully I will be always around.God bless and take care.

The Holi in Gaza is making me very anxious. I pray for peace and humanitarian assistance to reach everyone who needs them. Volunteers from across the world and from every corner of the planet is anxious too to render their services to mankind beyond the fear of death. Journalists from all nationalities across different media outlets are reporting from ground zero, also putting their lives at risk. Diplomats from different corners of the world are trying to engage in means and forms so as to make a contribution to the crisis. Diplomacy is very limited and direct so as to achieve definite goals every single day. Big time diplomacy is yet to show results in a much more tangible way, nothing yet. Gaza , if not permanent ceasefire, needs a temporary ceasefire, I think Israel is smart enough to figure out Hammas regrouping . But ceasefire is absolutely necessary for those innocent who are at the margins of life and death. Both Israeli and Palestinian lives are precious and peace is at the co

China India Tango

After months of small shows.The time of a big show has finally struck between the relationship of the 2 fastest growing economies who are also close door neighbours. India and China has again locked horns on the issue of nomenclature of some 30 regions which the Chinese contest as part of their territory and are currently in Arunachal Pradesh of the Indian side of her territory. China seems to be a more aggressive partner to the tango while India maintaining a much more balanced posture to the tango. I heard the spokesperson of the Chinese Defence Ministry saying where does Arunachal Pradesh comes from? Well we now know where the recent nomenclatures are coming from?  Well so far the fight is limited to hand to hand and some has been very deadly I must say. On the ground it's peace from both sides. Let's see what is in store after the Indian Polls. Apart from minor to major skirmishes on the border, I don't think both the nation's got that appetite for war. Thankyou and

Ministry of External Affairs

 The MEA is headed by Foreign Minister Subramaniam Jaishankar also known as S.Jaishankar. He is very intelligent and well read. He has authored two books while being the foreign minister 1) Why India Matters and the second one is 2) Why Bharat Matters. Both are a good read and reflections of MEA S. Jaishankar. His decision of importing Russian oil during the Ukraine War highlights governments concern for India 's Energy Security. Then showing the mirror to Europe was far overdue. He outlined India's need to be non-aligned and devoid of external pressures and that's how QUAD came into force. He reiterated that India has its own view of the world and India will pursue that goal no matter how much is the resistance to do so. On Pakistan, he stated India's stance that Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism and any talks with the neighbouring country can happen only in the atmosphere of peace 🕊️ and tranquility. Talks and terror cannot go hand in hand. Although it seems, In
