More often than not it is human nature to get complacent especially when their functions, responsibilities and duties are routine and monotonous.

In our daily lives and rat races, how often do we pause, reflect, purge and re-set our minds. Consistently preoccupied with tomorrow we are continuously engaging our brains. Never giving it rest. If your physical self needs a holiday so does the brain and mind.

The patient is also a customer. Doctors visits in the present day are often more stressful, not only because doctors have lost the personal touch of disarming and getting the patient to relax, but also due to the lack of the old diagnostic skills that were once the cornerstone of General practise. Then more often than not there is the long list of tests to oil the working of laboratories and to ensure the use of equipment. Have modern doctors become more Machine dependent ??

We enter relationships, spend years, while we evolve and change, yet while fail to recognise and accept that we continue to endure considering the investment of time, and other facts.

In this episode I explore the tendency in daily life to overthink and make assumptions about people, situations, and knowledge. I urge listeners to stop over-analysing and to question these familiar patterns, especially in interactions with friends, family, and colleagues.

What happened to the systems of yore when the traffic department invited school kids to traffic parks to get a hands on idea of rules and driving etiquette ?? Whose responsibility then is the poor driving sense and etiquette on the roads assigned to ?? RTOs around the country who never adapted and improved on the sound systems that existed and were available in the past are surely the first ones that come to mind. Lack of enforcement by traffic and highway police are other reasons. Leaders who feel rules are not for them whether on the road or in companies. They forget that leading by example leaves a lasting impression
