As I travel along the Ganges from Rishikesh to Devprayag, my paternal village, I am overwhelmed with a feeling of belonging and nostalgia of my childhood days, spent running around in the mango orchards and trekking to nearby hills. As a child, I had done this journey every summer with my parents to visit my grandparents.

Start the day with a visit to the famous Raghunath temple. Some inscriptions carved are supposed to be from around 5th century. If you go there during the festive seasons of Basant Panchmi, you can witness the famous fair in the temple courtyard where people from near by places come to pray and enjoy. During the navratras, one can see the Ramayana being enacted. This tradition has been on for years and mostly the best acting talents are reserved for it. The dasharas of Garhwal and Kumaon are very famous and worth a watch. The colors, music and dances can be seen everywhere and music echoes in the hills during the festive season. If it’s the marriage season, one may get a chance to see the bride who goes to the temple before entering her in-laws’ place. The big nose ring, made of gold and at times weighing up to few kilograms, must not be missed, which the bride would be adorning. For those wanting to indulge in gossip or stories, just settle down in shops where locals will entertain you with stories of ghosts, wildlife and everything that is interesting in their lives.

Standardization has become vital in the medical world. Professional organizations, non-governmental agencies, and other international institutions work to make sure that medical training, practices and medical equipments are standardized around the world. Medications from prescription drugs to anesthesia are globally available.
