[Dr. Suma Balagopal @astackofpebbles]

Too many people in India ask if I will drop in under the guise of being a family friend and quietly do a psychiatric assessment, or advise their offspring on life choices.

No.

An assessment is not a chat and Psychiatry is not a tool for social engineering.

@nehaa_sinha Beautifully written.
As a child I once saw Spotted Owlets poking their heads out of telegraph poles at dusk, and I too will forever glance up at tall poles, hoping to see the unblinking stare of an owl looking back at me.
