Last Sunday when I met my cousin, my heart bled when she told me that she failed in her recent interview. Ratna, my beloved cousin is a management graduate from a top tier B school. Her strong credentials reflect in her body language and her intelligent conversations. It was obviously impossible to discard such a worthy candidate like trash. I asked her to recall every event with the minutest details that took place that day. Everything sounded perfect but she didnt mention a word about her attire, her make up or hair. When I asked her about these details she sounded totally nonchalant and then I realized what could have gone so wrong for along with a bad taste in dressing, unfortunately, she has a hugely wrinkled face, making her look much older than her age.Often, we tend to neglect how we appear or how we present ourselves once we step out of our home. Sometime, makeup and a good hairstyle also do not come to our rescue. Now to have a healthy body, we eat right and exercise regularly, similarly to have a flawless skin; we have to put in efforts and at times have to go for an extra mile.If you are going for an important event, your wrinkles, flawed skin, body bulges are likely to...more

I bet even those living on the moon have heard about Steve Jobs passing due to pancreatic cancer. Like many, I feel very impacted by his death. Like many who have lost loved ones to that terrible disease, I have mixed emotions. I am very sorry for his passing, for the loss to his family and to the world. I am feeling grateful that Jobs death has people thinking and talking about pancreatic cancer for a change, and in the midst of Pink October, of all months! But I also resent that it takes such a big name death to get people talking about pancreatic cancer. Ive been reflecting on some of the similarities and some of the differences between my fathers experience with pancreatic cancer and what I know of Steve Jobs pancreatic cancer experience. Like Jobs, my father was to have a Whipple procedure. Unlike Jobs, upon opening my father up and discovering that his cancer had spread from his pancreas to his liver, they sewed him back up, canceling his Whipple procedure. Dad died from pancreatic cancer 8 months later.Next month, I will undergo a Whipple and I have already been informed that upon opening me up, and before proceeding with the Whipple, the surgeon will first confirm that...more
