While writing the Abracadabra titled “Pondering over wars and warmongers of the world!” on June 19, 2025, I remembered my trip to Israel 28 years ago. In 1997, I went on a Christian Holy pilgrimage to Israel with my Hindu friend late R. Gururaja, a retired Commissioner of Provident Fund (PF), Karnataka, along with a…

By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The weekend that has just gone by, was a very nostalgic and emotional trip back in time for me, because it marked the passing of a full fifty years of the moment I joined medical college, to embark on my ten-year-long journey to becoming a doctor, with post-graduate qualifications….
