From a dentist point of view .....

1. Right before getting their teeth cleaned patient asks whether enamel wears off due to cleaning and you have to narrate the tale of hand scalers and ultrasonic scalers
2. The difficult time you have in educating the patient about the difference between sensitivity and pain
3. The challenging time during extractions when you have  to make the patient aware of the difference between pain and pressure
4. It's funny to watch the mixed expression of guilt and regret on a patients face the moment they realize that we just picked up the food they had an hour ago with a probe
5. Height of patience is cutting a crown in an upper seven in a macroglossic patient
6. The satisfaction we achieve when we catch a glimpse of the patient smiling on seeing the face mirror after a composite restoration in a midline diasthema case.
7. A properly seated complete denture in one go with absolute no trimming is heaven
8. After inspecting the stains on his teeth we enquire about smoking habits and to our utter amazement the patient replies that he is not a smoker
9. A cheerful day begins with a cooperative pedo patient
10.We dentist get heart attacks too; it's usually when we drop our airoter on the floor
11. When a Patient comes to the clinic with a dental problem and you end up finding a systemic disorder along with solution to their dental issue.That is it. The patient declares that you are the king of all doctors and you reach cloud nine.
12.Its amusing to hear patients using dental terms that they learned from the internet.

His Final Message to the World: Don’t Give Up on Your Dream”

My father’s brother — our dearest Lalu Uncle — went to be with the Lord in October 2025. He had travelled to Delhi to deliver this TEDx talk, but sadly, he never got the chance. He passed away before he could step onto that stage. If he had delivered this speech, it would have been one of the most inspiring and viral talks of all time. Take just 2 minutes to read through his incredible testimony — a journey of failure, faith, resilience, and destiny. The last speech Abraham Zachariah prepared – to deliver at TEDx I didn’t go to school. I was sent to school. Hence, for 10th standard, marks were very low and I could get admission only for Commerce group, as no one wanted (is 55 years ago) in my home state Kerala. My mother was very upset as my cousins and friends got into Science groups and she pushed me into Commerce Group. I was used to tell everyone that “Useless fellow, useless fellow, useless fellow are in Commerce Group and all the useless ones are in commerce group.” She was...

“When Love Becomes a Language”

 It has been 9 years since I married Rohit and became a part of this beautiful family, and in that time I came to know Amma as an all-rounder.  I remember once asking Appa about the collection of awards in the showcase, and he told me that most of them belonged to Amma. From writing to creative thinking, to receiving “Best Employee” awards at Cochin Refinery.. ( thats wher she worked) —she was always at the top in everything she did. I even came across her handwritten recipe book, filled with recipes for many dishes including doughnuts which was uncommon back then. Every page was written with neat handwriting and exact measurements. Rohit often told me how Saturdays at home were almost like a feast when Amma would prepare a variety of new dishes for the family. Food was her love language and she found joy in serving the family.  Amma had a way of finding cute coincidences. Amma told me soemthig she had figured out. she told that all the daughter in laws of the house....

Follow your Passion, It will lead you to Success!

  Name: Bittu Jacob Owner of Baked for you by Bittu   1. Why did you pursue baking as career?   During my school days I enjoyed baking with my ‘Amma’. After getting married I used to bake occasionally at home and when we had guests at home.   On my son’s 5 th   birthday, I decided to make a fire truck shaped fondant cake. It was my very first attempt baking a fondant cake from scratch. When my family saw the cake they were quite impressed. To be honest the cake tasted lovely but it was not like those very neat fondant cakes . My family encouraged me to level up my skill by attending cake décor classes.       So I attended a class and learned the basics of cake decoration. Even at that point of time I never thought of taking this up professionally. That same year (2016) in the month of December my Appa asked me to bake 10 cakes to gift his friends. I was nervous about this but my Appa had full confidence in me. He convinced...
