They  value  friendships  and  would  go  all  out  to  help  a  friend  in distress . They  would  love  to   make  a difference  where  it  matters .  They  value  care  and  compassion , and  a  firm  commitment  to  certain  core  values  of  life , irrespective  of   whether  it  brings   success  and  prestige ,or  not .
 Well , that's  enough  for  a  lifetime !

Taking a break from  teaching , or  seeing  patients

What a job!
 
Well  if  this  could  be  our  job  it  would  be  a  dream .
In  its  absence , Shakuntala  enjoys driving  down  to  her  college  where  she  teaches  philosophy  to  her  students . And enjoys  their  adoring  looks . And looks after the administration of the college as well, having taken over as Principal in Sept., 2005.
 
And  Ajai  goes  to  his  consulting  rooms  to  treat  patients . Atleast  that's  what  he  thinks .  And  his patients  don't  mind  this  delusion  of  his .
 
All  this  to  compensate  for  this  not  being  their  job !

Between  teaching  and  patients, Shakuntala  and  Ajai  find time  to  write  and  work  for  the  Mens Sana Research  Foundation  they  set  up  in  May  2003 . http://mensanamonographs.tripod.com. They  enjoy  the  challenge  it  involves . Ajai  has  recently  started  enjoying  the  internet .  This  web site  is  his baby !  You  may , if you wish , and  maybe even  if  you  don't ,  sent  him  a  mail  appreciating  him  for  his  efforts  at  mensanamonographs@yahoo.co.uk.
Thanks.
