One fine day, I resorted to Tikkun Spa to restore the calm and balance in my head. My companion in this journey was a copy of Golden Nuggets book by Osho Rajneesh.

Osteoporosis is known as “silent thief” as bone loss occurs with no apparent symptoms. The bones which are living tissues constantly break down and replace. When the creation of new bone does not keep up with the removal of old bone is when Osteoporosis begins. Body does not signal us and let us know that this is happening.

My parents and my grandmother were next door neighbors. I called my Grandmother: “Maman Tehrani” since she lived in Tehran and at one point in life, going to Tehran meant going to her house. She had Diabetes Type II. Although it was genetics, her pouring jam into anything even plain yogurt could have played a role in it. 7 years ago when I went home, she took about 200 steps to…

Topless Jihad

Years and years ago I was exposed to an idea from clergymen: ” In western world, women are used as commodities. Their scantily clad bodies are used in commercials and billboards.
