Autism Awareness: Dr Ketan Patel Homeopathic Physician Highlights Diet & Exercise as Key Recovery Tools

On this World Autism Awareness Day, Dr. Ketan Patel of Specialty Homeopathy stated that 80% of autism cases can be managed through diet and exercise alone. He noted that the remaining 20% may require medicinal support alongside lifestyle changes due to metabolic or genetic factors.

Gujarat doctors earmark Rs. 5 lakh for needy children with autism

Homeopathy has proven to be very effective in treating in such genetic, metabolic & mitochondrial autism (Syndromic AUTISM). Genetic effects can be largely eliminated or controlled through homeopathic medicines.

Dr Ketan Patel said that the effects of genes affecting sodium channel, potassium channel, aqua channel, epileptic, Encephalopathy, intellectual and other protein disruption can be eliminated up to 90 percent with homeopathic medicines along with diet and exercise. The research of these experts has found that only 10 percent of genes cannot be improved.

Dr Ketan Patel further said that “The protocols for autism treatment of Western countries do not show the effect of treatment in a certain time. There is a shortage of doctors trained to treat autism in India. Therefore, it is necessary for us to improve the protocols of Western countries and formulate our own new protocols. Indian doctors are far ahead in the treatment of autism, compared to Western countries. Therefore, it is necessary for us to implement a new protocol with diet, exercise and individual treatment plan in the treatment of autism.”

Cinematic Brilliance that defines ‘Dhurandhar – The Revenge’

Dr Jayesh Sheth said that autism is a type of disease in which children are not mentally retarded, but due to some obstruction or disturbance in the wiring of neurons in their brain, their ability to speak and think is affected. Such a gene problem is found in 50 percent of autism cases. The earlier such children are diagnosed, the more effective the treatment and guidance is.

Dr Patel and Dr Sheth further said that currently, doctors are providing up to Rs. 5,00,000 annually for the treatment, genetic testing and related therapy of more than 100 needy children suffering from autism. In the coming time, doctors from all branches like Allopathic, Homeopathic, Ayurvedic, who are doing treatment and research in the field of autism in Gujarat, are committed to jointly work with the therapists and bring about rapid treatment and improvement.

1 in every 36 children born worldwide is affected by autism. This figure is considered extremely alarming, as the number of children suffering from autism is higher than the percentage of children suffering from life-threatening diseases such as cancer, diabetes and HIV worldwide.

What is autism?

It is a disease affecting the neurological, endocrinal, and gastrointestinal systems, diagnosed in children between the ages of 18 and 24 months and its symptoms are as follows.

- The child does not speak on time or does not speak at all cannot use sentences after speaking a few words.

- Does not make eye contact with family members such as mother, father, brother, sister.

- Does not play with children of the same age group when they are playing and prefers to go away and play alone.

- Laughs and cries for no reason.

- Plays with a toy, object or piece of clothing for a long time, sleeps with it.

- Wiggles fingers, jumps, keeps moving around in one place.

- Holds hands over ears in fear of the sound of mixers, vacuum cleaners, firecrackers.

- Throws things and screams.

- Hurts body with teeth, hits head against wall.

It is advisable that if two or more of the above symptoms are observed in a child take your child to a doctor to get diagnosed with autism and get proper treatment. The earlier your child is diagnosed with autism or a similar condition, the greater the child's chances of recovering from these symptoms.

- Scientists, doctors, universities, pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies around the world are working to diagnose autism more quickly.

In order to make people aware of this disease, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day every year and the entire month of April as Autism Awareness Month to spread awareness and information about autism. During this month, famous places around the world are decorated with blue lights. Such as Sydney Opera - Australia, Burj Khalifa - Dubai, Leaning Tower - Italy, London Bridge - UK, Pyramids of Giza - Egypt, Eiffel Tower - France (Paris) are decorated with blue lights.

Diagnosis of autism

This disease, which is seen in children from the age of 18 months to 30 months, cannot be detected by any single test or other medical report such as CT SCAN, MRI SCAN, PET SCAN or EEG so apart from the above report the diagnosis can be made in the following two stages.

In the first stage, to know whether the physical and mental development of the children is happening according to their age or not, the child's learning ability, his way of speaking, words and sentences along with his facial expressions are studied and recorded and the development rate of the children (Physical & Mental Development) is kept in mind at a certain time interval such as 12 months, 18 months or 24 months i.e. at the age of 2 years. In this above study, the diagnosis is made on the basis of the answers of scientifically prepared questionnaires to the child's parents, his doctors and the child's caregivers.

The second stage is diagnosed by doctors who specialize in this disease such as a Developmental Paediatrician, Child Neurologist, Child Psychiatrist/Psychologist (specialist in child neurology and behavioural disorders), and DAN (Defeat Autism Now) doctors.

Causes of autism spectrum disorder

Doctors and scientists around the world are trying to find out the causes of this disease but have not been able to come up with a specific cause. However based on the medical history records of old cases/new cases and the similarities and differences in them, they have come to the following conclusions.

- Chronic infection in the mother's body that affects the mental development of the child during pregnancy, such as Torch Infection.

- Hormonal imbalance due to the endocrine gland in the mother, thyroid deficiency.

- Pollution in the atmosphere, pollution in drinking water

Genetic disorder

- Tuberculosis disease in family members

- Epilepsy & Seizure Disorder

- Serotonin and neurotransmitter related disease

Many children develop autism after receiving the MMR vaccine, and doctors around the world have differing opinions on the matter. According to the CDC USA (CDC – Centre for Disease Control & Prevention), 1 in 31 children born worldwide are affected by autism, and this figure is considered alarming, as it is more than the combined incidence of cancer, diabetes, and HIV.

The Osho Conspiracy: A ₹2,200 Crore Empire, Two Mysterious Deaths and a Faked Diagnosis

The death of Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh) in 1990 remains one of India’s most enduring mysteries, shrouded in allegations of coercion, greed, and cover-ups as mentioned in the book Who Killed Osho? Central to the scandal is a bombshell confession from the doctor who signed the death certificate, admitting he was forced to fake a "heart attack" diagnosis without even examining the body. This suspicion is fueled by a chilling timeline: both Osho and his soulmate, Ma Prem Nirvano—who died just 41 days prior—were hurriedly cremated before any investigation could begin, leaving behind a global empire and intellectual property valued at over ₹2,200 crore.

WHO KILLED OSHO?

Abhay Vaidya’s 2017 book, Who Killed Osho?, is a rigorous investigative account that challenges the official narrative surrounding the death of the controversial spiritual leader Osho (formerly Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). Based on nearly three decades of reportage, Vaidya uses recorded interviews, affidavits, and official documents to piece together a story of "power, greed, intrigue, and manipulations" within the Osho movement.

Key Investigations and Revelations in Who Killed Osho?

The book focuses on the inconsistencies and suspicious circumstances of Osho’s death on January 19, 1990, at his ashram in Pune.

The Medical Certificate: A central piece of evidence is an interview with Dr. Gokul Gokani, the ENT surgeon who issued the death certificate. Gokani later signed an affidavit stating he was pressured by Osho’s inner circle (specifically Swami Prem Amrito and Swami Anand Jayesh) to list "myocardial infarction" (heart attack) as the cause of death without actually examining the body for such signs.

The "Hasty" Cremation: Vaidya highlights the suspicious speed with which Osho's body was disposed of. Osho was declared dead at 5:00 PM, the news was broken at 7:00 PM, and his body was cremated shortly after, allowing for only 10–15 minutes of public darshan (viewing).

The Forged Will: The book delves into the 2013 emergence of a "will" allegedly signed by Osho, which surfaced 23 years after his death during a trademark battle in a European court. Forensics later suggested the signature was forged, and the inner circle eventually withdrew the document.

The Death of Nirvano: Vaidya draws parallels between Osho’s death and that of his longtime companion and soulmate, Ma Prem Nirvano (Christena Woolf Smith). She died under similarly suspicious circumstances just 41 days before Osho and was also hurriedly cremated without a thorough investigation.

Themes of Power and Rebranding

Beyond the mystery of the death itself, the book explores a "palace coup" by a small group of Western associates who sought to control Osho's massive financial and intellectual property.

Financial Control: The investigation suggests that Osho's death was used as a catalyst to rebrand the movement, commoditize his teachings, and siphon royalties to offshore foundations, effectively sidelining his original Indian followers.

A Call for Action: Vaidya concludes by advocating for a court-monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the criminal conduct of the Osho International Foundation’s top management and the handling of the public trusts' assets.

Critical Reception of Who Killed Osho?

While some critics argue the book relies on speculation and "what-ifs," it has been widely praised by many former disciples and readers for its forensic-level detail and commitment to uncovering a "journalistic account" of a history largely written by devotees. It is often compared to Truman Capote's In Cold Blood for its chilling, non-fiction crime narrative.

Was Osho murdered for his empire? 

From faked heart attacks to forged signatures, Abhay Vaidya’s investigation uncovers a "palace coup" that rebranded a movement and sidelined thousands of followers. Two deaths, 41 days apart, and a legacy worth ₹2,200 crore.

Reading for Results: A Manager’s Literary Manifesto

Why reading that doesn’t improve your CV matters

Stories without bullet points often teach more than those with them — because not everything worth knowing fits on LinkedIn.
“So, you read fiction?” she said.

I mean, who reads fiction? The scorn and judgement in her voice was direct, cold, and, if I may, unnecessary — even uninformed.

Yet something about the way she spoke those words suggested I could not simply dismiss her reaction. I decided to dig deeper. She reads only non-fiction, for that’s helpful for her work, as she explains — how to be a better manager, how to grow the company, how to deal with people you dislike, how to stay positive, and the like. Each book, each title, teaches her something, furthering her career and nudging her personality in the right direction.

What could fiction offer? she raised a brow.

My most recent reads have been The Names by Florence Knapp (e-book), Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid (audio), and If I Could Turn Back Time by Beth Harbison (hardback). I am currently reading Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson (paperback). What could these books — about domestic violence, relationships, turning older, and a love story set in the publishing world — possibly teach me? They don’t offer bullet points or frameworks. They do not promise five habits or ten steps. But they teach me how to sit inside someone else’s fear. How to recognise loneliness before it becomes loud. How regret feels at 40, 50. How ambition sounds in a twenty-five-year-old voice. Fiction does not improve my CV, I agree.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri – movie review

Yes, self-help books sell a lot, but so did Harry Potter. I could have argued with her, but I think her choice of genre requires a deeper understanding. We’re taught early on to do things—and invest time in them—that bring results. Good marks = good university = good job. Eat a fruit = get the nutrients. Read a book = gain a benefit, become smarter. In all this, where do emotion, imagination, patience, wonder, and pleasure lie?

I read a variety of genres, and I love both fiction and non-fiction. Of course, I am happy that, regardless of the motivation for picking up a book, books are being picked up ‘for gain’. But in 2026, when we are always complaining of a lack of time — and always multitasking — why did I even imagine that books would be read for pure pleasure, peace, love?

We listen to podcasts as we walk, to make the most of our time. We watch Netflix while sharing a meal with our partner, to make the most of the hour. We reply to Insta stories as we wait for the cab to arrive. We fold laundry while attending Zoom calls. We want to make the most of every moment, every page.

And fiction, perhaps for some, doesn’t allow one to do that.

So then, who reads fiction? Well, a few of us — who are okay doing something “unproductive” in a very productive life.

“So, you read fiction?” Yes, this is one of the most common questions one hears — from non-readers, or rather, readers with a purpose. Fiction asks for stillness. It demands attention without promising results, and that is rare to chase.

Increased styling, comfort, space optimisation: How contemporary Indian Homes are styled

With the intention of serving multiple roles that of a workplace, retreat and social space, changes in styling homes in India focused on lighting and wall decor. Wall décor adoption rises 64%, storage and organisation grows 270%, and ambient lighting increases 70% as Indian households shift toward intentional home styling. 

According to a recent report offering a data-led view of how Indian homes are evolving through everyday styling, comfort, and space optimisation choices. Built on aggregated insights from over 500,000 customers, spanning 100,000+ products, 48 home categories, and 50 million browsing sessions, the report captures behavioural shifts shaping modern Indian living.

Rather than large-scale renovations, the findings reveal a growing preference for incremental, intentional upgrades, as homes increasingly serve multiple roles — workplace, retreat, and social space.

Key Findings from the Vaaree Home Index 2025-

Wall décor adoption grew 64%, emerging as the most common entry point into home styling.

Home Storage & Organisation recorded 270% year-on-year growth, signalling a shift from hidden utility to visible design.

Adoption of lamps and ambient lighting rose 70%, reflecting a move toward mood-led living environments.

Rugs and carpets saw over 102% growth in GMV, alongside a 42% increase in average selling price of cushion covers, indicating rising investment in comfort-led upgrades.

Browsing curated “Looks” delivered 580% higher conversion compared to product-led discovery.

Indian Homes Move Toward Coordinated Styling

The report highlights a structural shift in consumer behaviour. Instead of upgrading homes product by product, households are increasingly styling spaces through coordinated, cross-category combinations that balance aesthetics with functionality.

Walls have emerged as a primary surface for expression, with art styles such as Pichwai, Madhubani, macrame, and Jharokha-inspired décor gaining prominence alongside symbolic motifs like the Lotus, Evil Eye, and Tree of Life.

Storage solutions — including racks, shelves, and organisers — are increasingly treated as visible elements within living spaces rather than purely functional additions.

Lighting adoption reflects a similar evolution, with households using lamps and ambient lighting to define zones for work, relaxation, and hosting. 

Regional Trends Reveal Emerging Design Confidence

While trends were visible nationally, the report identified strong regional variations:

Mumbai ranked highest across Style, Comfort, and Space-Saver indices.

Jaipur emerged as India’s second most stylish city, climbing four positions year-on-year.

Bangalore led adoption of space-saving and functional solutions.

Emerging cities including Indore, Lucknow, and Nagpur recorded some of the fastest growth in styling adoption.

These shifts suggest rising experimentation and design confidence beyond metro markets. 

“Indian homes today are evolving through everyday decisions rather than large renovations,” said Garima Luthra, Co-founder of Vaaree. “What we’re seeing is a move toward intentional living, where comfort, organisation, and personal expression are becoming equally important. The Home Index is our attempt to decode how people are actually shaping their spaces, based on behaviour rather than trends,” says Varun Vohra, Co-founder of Vaaree, further adding, “The data shows that Indian consumers are no longer buying décor in isolation. They are building coordinated environments. This shift has implications not just for retail, but for how the entire home industry thinks about discovery, design, and consumption.” 

Looking Ahead

The report identifies early signals likely to shape future home evolution:

Storage solutions balancing function and aesthetics becoming baseline expectations.

Modular, corner-led updates replacing full-room makeovers.

Comfort evolving into a sensory experience combining lighting, texture, and visual calm.

Tier-2 cities playing a larger role in defining home styling trends.
