Peace can feel like a large national dream, but it often begins with one small choice: a calmer reply, a fairer decision, a helping hand, a refusal to spread anger. Gandhi Jayanti gives India that gentle reminder every year. It is not only a day to remember Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation. It is also a day to ask what truth and non-violence can look like in ordinary life, at home, on the road, in schools, in workplaces, and in public spaces. Let us take one step toda

Festival season has a sound of its own dhol beats, mic-heavy pandal announcements, processions passing right under your window, celebrations that go on well past what feels reasonable. It's part of what makes the season feel alive. But there's a quieter cost to all that sound that most families never think about until it's already done some damage: your hearing. Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty sees a small but real rise in hearing complaints every year right after major festival weeks —

Office all day, car on the way home, bedroom at night for a lot of people today, life happens almost entirely under air conditioning. It's comfortable, it's necessary in this heat, and most of us never think twice about it. But Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty has noticed something worth mentioning: a steady rise in patients from Chennai to the Gulf with a dry, scratchy throat, a persistently stuffy or irritated nose, and a voice that feels tired by the end of the day, with no cold or i

Somebody in every household has "that snore" the one that gets jokes at family functions, that's become the reason someone ends up on the sofa or in the next room, that's been normal for so many years nobody questions it anymore. It's practically a character trait at this point: "oh, he's always been a loud sleeper," said with a laugh, like it's charming. But here's the thing Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty wants families to sit with for a moment: loud, habitual snoring isn't always just

If you're a parent, you already know the sound that particular cry, at 2 a.m., sharper and more insistent than the usual fussing, where your child keeps tugging at their ear and nothing you do seems to soothe them. You pace the room, try feeding, try rocking, try everything, and somewhere in that exhausted haze you start wondering if this is something you should have caught earlier. fig 1. fig 1: Your Child's Ear Infection: What Every Parent Should Actually Know Take a breath

fig 1. The Cold vs. Sinusitis Checklist You wake up with a heavy head, a blocked nose, and that dull pressure sitting right behind your eyes like someone's pressing on them from the inside. You tell yourself it's just a cold — happens every season, drink some kashayam, push through work, it'll pass. Ten days later, you're still telling yourself the same thing, except now your face actually hurts and you've started breathing through your mouth full-time. This is one of the mos

Confused between sinusitis and a common cold this monsoon? Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty, a leading ENT Surgeon Chennai patients trust, breaks down the key differences, symptoms, and exactly when it is time to seek specialized care. Every monsoon in Chennai, one question comes up in the clinic more than any other: "Doctor, is this just a cold, or is it sinusitis?" It is a fair question. The two conditions share several overlapping symptoms, and telling them apart is not always obvious.

Every year, the moment the first monsoon showers hit Chennai, our clinic starts seeing the same pattern: a sudden rise in patients complaining of ear pain, itching, and that annoying "blocked" feeling in the ear. If you've ever wondered why your ears seem to act up specifically during the rainy season, you're not imagining it. There's real science behind it, and understanding it can save you a lot of discomfort. Fig 1. Why Your Ears Suffer the Most This Monsoon, and How

By Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty | ENT, Head & Neck Surgeon | Dr. Mohanty's Speciality ENT Clinics, Chennai Let me be honest with you.
