Let’s just be honest here. If you grew up in a Bengali home, the idea that your lovingly made maachher jhol or that Sunday mangsho could be silently working against your heart feels almost insulting. Most of us eat home- cooked food, we do not live on burgers and fries. In our mind, it is … Read more
I’ll be honest—when someone told me twenty-somethings in Kolkata should be booking a Full body checkup in Kolkata, my first thought was, “Isn’t that a bit much?” Most of us grew up watching our parents ignore their health until something broke, and then scrambling. That script feels normal. You assume the big screenings are for … Read more
There is a particular kind of sentence doctors hear often from elderly patients. “I thought it was just weakness.” Sometimes it is a weakness. Sometimes it is poor sleep. Sometimes it is age catching up slowly. There are lots of hidden symptoms which are not noticeddue toy negligence. Not controlling sugar intake, kidney functions decline, … Read more
Gifting, for most of us, was never something we questioned. It followed a rhythm—festival, occasion, purchase, exchange. The intent was always there, but the outcome was often short-lived.

The same reaction, under similar conditions, repeats without … Read more
It rarely begins with something obvious. More often, it is a stretch of months that feel slightly off. A cycle that shifts without warning. Skin that does not settle the way it once did. A kind of tiredness that lingers, even on lighter days. None of this seems serious in isolation. So it is easy … Read more

Often a pregancy test in Kolkata starts in a simple way, a regular thing in today’s scenario, but it rarely ends after the completion of … Read more
Some health concerns arrive with clear signals. Others take a quieter route. Thyroid imbalance, more often than not, belongs to the second kind. It does not disrupt life all at once.
