Review - Knowledge Junction of Ailments Part 2 by C Shankar Rao

 

Review: Knowledge Junction of Ailments (Part – 2)

                  A booklet by Shankar Rao Chepuri

 

The publication under review is a sequel to the one with the same title issued in 2020. It is a veritable compilation of titbits, extracts, reports, articles etc. It is beneficial to all especially senior citizens, as almost all topics dealt with affect the elderly also. I am sure there will be something new for everyone, even highly educated persons. I found ORAC and ‘sookshama’ yoga new to me. Articles on the same topic may be combined for example: prostate problems. Most articles may be read in a sweep of the eye – short and sweet.

 

Sri Shankar Rao has a penchant for selecting photographs. Inside Cover and outer cover photos prove he is popularly felicitated. Messages from Dr Vittal Rao and Dr Sobha Perindevi add immense value.

 

Part 1 was well received, and so will this part 2 too.  I am committed to the subject of gerontology and geriatrics and take pleasure in welcoming this booklet with all my heart.

 

 

 

 

All in my imagination

 

All in my imagination

I was wandering like a cloud
over a busy street, where I saw
men laughing and smiling & having fun

I was wandering like a cloud
over a garden of flowers
and saw dancing and quivering daffodils

I was hovering like a cloud
above one over-used railway track
and saw a long train of goods wagons

I was hovering upon a beach
like an eagle searching for his prey
And saw a snail reaching out to the sea;
It was too small for my hunger
so, I let it go
