My kind of therapist
I need a therapist who can make the patient feel better without them needing to speak about things.
Know anyone like that?
In mental health, what happy pills cannot achieve, happy hunting grounds manage quite easily.

वसंत का, कोई वादा थोड़ी है?
वसंत का कोई वादा नहीं है
सदा की सर्दी, सदा ही गर्मी
चिरंतर मन की प्यास
धरती के कुछ भागों में
आता नहीं मधुमास
नन्ही पोटलियाँ बीजों की,
नवजीवन का उल्लास
कुछ नहीं बचता बर्फों में,
पल्लव, अंकुर, न आस
वसंत का, कोई वादा थोड़ी है?

Quotes of the day - Don't know my mother tongue, and proud of it.
Illiteracy is seldom declared proudly, unless you are a metro citizen of India, declaring your Hindi illiteracy.
************
I rarely judge, but one has to work really hard to not know one's mother tongue.
*************
Ignorance because of lack of opportunity deserves support. Ignorance because of unwillingness to learn deserves understanding, but pride in the latter kind of ignorance deserves whole hearted laughter.
****************
One is rarely judgemental, but to not know one's mother tongue and then to be proud of that illiteracy, is, as Poirot would put it, Twice imbecile.
I would use a Sanskrit reference, but like, you wouldn't get it.
