@devinamehra You have nailed it. Kudos to you. To identify and relate with the crux of this qawwali it takes a soul which understands that same crux, truly and intimately. Beautiful!!! in deed. Keep walking on your path to the central tenet of life i.e. Moksha.
A giant has left us yesterday.
Gajanan Bhaskar Mehendale, just as his middle name said, he was a Bhaskar, a sun of history.
He wasn’t just a historian, he was an encyclopedia who carried the weight of Bharat’s truth in his words.
He stood firm against distortions, never afraid of Leftist narratives, because he came armed with evidence, with primary sources that no one could challenge.
Through his works, he gave us Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in his true form, not diluted, not diminished, but as the Hindutva warrior, the guardian of Dharma, the builder of Swarajya.
His books are not just books. They are foundations. They are the bedrock of Maratha history for generations to come.
Today we bow our heads to a man whose light will never fade.
You may have left this mortal world, but your words, your courage, your truth will guide us forever.
Om Shanti
When an Itch was More Than Just an Itch
Mrs. Anita Rao (name changed), 52, from Pune, had been struggling with an odd problem for nearly a year.
“Every few days, I would get an intense itching on my left forearm. No rash, no redness, just an unbearable itch that lasted a minute or two,” she recalled. “I even changed soaps, detergents, and my diet but nothing helped.”
Her family doctor initially suspected allergies. Antihistamines gave no relief. The dermatologist found nothing wrong with her skin. Frustrated, Anita started ignoring it, until one day, the itch was followed by a brief tingling in her hand, and then she felt momentarily blank and confused.
At this point, she consulted me. I patiently listened to her story. History was very typical of an uncommon disease. I ordered for an EEG test, which revealed abnormal electrical activity in the right side of her brain’s sensory area, which confirmed my suspicion. A diagnosis of focal seizures was made. An MRI scan of brain found a small scar from an old, unnoticed brain injury.
Anita was started on anti-seizure medication, and within weeks, the itching episodes vanished. She came for a follow-up visit six weeks later. “I never imagined an itch could start in the brain,” she said, smiling. “Now I know, sometimes the problem is not in your skin, but in your neurons.”
Take-home message:
If you have repeated, unexplained itching in the same spot, especially if it is brief, and comes in “attacks,” or is accompanied by other sensations (tingling, numbness, brief confusion)- don’t ignore it. Rarely, it could be a sign of seizure activity. Early diagnosis can prevent progression and improve quality of life.
