Today, we email only selected categories, while all posts remain accessible here — fully searchable and easy to revisit anytime.

These recent talks gave us an opportunity to apply the idea more systematically and observe how it worked with very different audiences. A Month of Diverse Audiences So far, our Founder has delivered lectures at four institutions: 4th January – Institute of Nutrition and Fitness Sciences 6th January – Ayurved Mahavidyalaya,…

The Knowledge I Carry Today Must Not End With Me

A conversation that stayed with me The world's largest storehouse of knowledge is in the graveyard, said a Professor friend. And that made me feel "The knowledge I carry today must not end with me.". I must share it In QMed’s August 2025 newsletter, I had mentioned that I had been interviewed for a podcast as part of my school’s celebration of 40 years of our Alumni Association.
