This column has appeared on 28th Dec. on Nirvaya www.nirvayanews.com in its MoKatha series of columns by me.

The column emphasizes on sea change taken place in healtcare service in towns. There was a day rural people may be very few times in life used to visit private doctors in towns when local public hospitals denied the service either for its inability or non availability of doctors.
Town healthcare was managed by few counted doctors those who even run their clinic ancestrally. This was a trend for law service and teaching service too. It was running in family blood. Villagers used to refer to a clinic by square name  or by ancestral name. They used to go for healthcare when used to visit katchery for legal services. Urban people though bit often than villagers still they were frequenting their lane or bazaar doctors. Hardly, people either from rural or urban people used to move to medicine college hospitals for quality health services. The lane doctor used to be 'doctor-uncle' for all. Infact, such doctors took the role of village vidyas' to play in urban area.A kind of equilibrium in healtcare used to prevail for win-win for people didn't have enough money for hefty payments at the same time govt. was not in a position to care fast.
Thus bot. old rural as well as urban healthcare practices are found in-efficient. So, more the private parties now play a massive role in developing healthcare . The article while tracing out past prevailing town practices looks into possible changes towards indigenous healthcare medicines as well as tools.

 MoKatha column on 21st December 2016 ... tells of  healthcare system in past people in village were practicing. That used to be centred around medicinal trees grown around. Village doctor 'Vaidya' had expertise in finding trees and their medicinal values. Later the expertise had been chronicled in pothis (on palm leaves ) and books. In Odisha Laxman Mishra book was widely used for reference to treat ailments. The days are gone. Not true past this Health care system was perfect. People were suffering. But, true immunity was much better and ailments were treated locally. Now, much research has given rise to medicines and different medical techniques to treat diseases and so also new diseases are appearing. Seems here a hide-and-seek game between medical science and diseases. And this will go on for time to come. There is nothing called cure and life has to end. It only matters a healthy living as long as one lives and resilience end when life has to end. Good now a days Ramdev Baba has brought awareness on Yoga to every door step and wish as long past people develop immunity to libe healthy and die peacefully .. blissful death  is a blessing too ..  who prefers to  die on 108 seat or ICU bed leaving a huge debt to next gen or being tied with tangles of Insurance companies ... better practice Yoga and die with the 108 names of Mahaprabhu on lips ....the column talks about ! ........

MoKatha today takes up a noble practice humankind follows that is remembering ancestors. Different people observe it in different ways. It is an integral part of its culture for the practice links past generation to future and proves time flows through generations and so the humankind gets the solace of continuity that each hopes for the world and for the days to come. The practice that culminates at Ashi Ghat in Varanashi is a moment that destiny scripts and the script keeps flowing on ever flowing stream of pious Ganga that keeps assuring the beauty of life that past bestows upon to the present and the future on grateful remembrance of ancestors that has made inheritance today blissful.
Alas at times this practice gets entangles in itself disguise making the flow polluted for everybody's alarm. Now the time has come to make Ganga clean for it required than the rituals need modification without a loss of inheritance ....
