Current age of information and technology has certainly helped us take great strides but unfortunately the same has not been used wisely in our daily lives to enhance our innate qualities and wellbeing!

Evidently, capsular concepts of health started mushrooming in varied forms and shapes. People started running after compartmentalized or specialized cures like in modern medical care. We go to specialists and specialized centers even for our own fundamental health care needs. Ironically this also proves the point of high IQ and low wisdom; just because, we end the visits and follow ups after one or a few prescribed visits.

Thus the new capsular health care centers like spas, yoga centers and other such well-intended places are losing their relevance from actual wellbeing to merely places for following fashion trends etc.
