MUSEUM OF GOA
"Buddha in the City"
Sunday, 18 December 2016 | 11 A.M.
MOG Sundays is pleased to welcome psychiatrist,
integrative medicine specialist and writer, Dr. Shyam
Bhat, at 11 AM on 18 December.
He will deliver a talk on Buddha in the City - the
physiological and psychological benefits of meditation as a
means of finding peace and clarity against the backdrop of
technologically expedited urban lifestyles.
Often named a pioneer of integrative medicine, Dr.
Bhat is a popular public speaker at schools, colleges and
important platforms such as Tedx. He has made several TV
appearances, notably, sitting alongside Deepika Padukone
during her candid interview with Barkha Dutt of NDTV.
Padukone's brave and vulnerable testament of her struggle
with depression and anxiety paired with Dr. Bhat's empathy
and advice is now broadly regarded as a significant stride
towards overturning stigma surrounding mental health.
Dr. Bhat continues to write and speak on interconnections between the physical and emotional spheres to promote psycho-social intelligence in
communities across the nation.
He is the recipient of the Norris Brookens Award, a member of Alpha Omega Alpha that recognizes the highest ideals in the profession of medicine
and a trustee of the Live, Love, Laugh Foundation founded by Deepika Padukone. He is widely published including being featured in The American
Journal of Psychiatry.
Jokes apart!
Wonderfully British..
In a train from London to Manchester, an American was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment.
"The trouble with you English is that you are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. You think your stiff upper lip makes you above the rest
of us. Look at me... I'm me! I have a little Italian in me, a bit
of Greek blood, a little Irish and some Spanish blood. What do
you say to that?"
The Englishman lowered his newspaper, looks over his
glasses and replied,
"How very sporting of your mother!"
The Police Recruit Interview Question
A new recruit police officer had almost finished his interview,
and the interviewer asked him the last question which was:
“You are on duty. A car crashes in the middle of the road with
two people inside the car, the two people are critically injured
and the car is badly damaged.
The ambulance arrives, but it is going too fast and crashes
into the damaged car. The car blows up and causes the ambulance
to flip on its side.
A passer-by, while walking on the sidewalk is toppled, by the
force of the explosion, into the river beside the road. Unfortunately
he cannot swim and is drowning in the river.
Another man runs out of a house screaming, and shouts that
his wife is pregnant and about to have her baby any second
now.
“What would you do in this situation”, the interviewer asked?
The recruit looks around the office and thinks for a while... he
replies, “I’d take off my uniform and act like I am part of the
crowd”!
