A modern-day retelling of one of the world's oldest epics One of the greatest epics in the world, the Mahabharata is a spectacular work of creative brilliance. More ingeniously conceived than the Iliad or the Odyssey, the Mahabharata delves deep into the human psyche, exploring the range of human ideals and emotions. Very often, however, a rendition of the Mahabharata, in its efforts to explore the ideological implications of the epic, loses sight of the fact that it is also a very human s...

The healing properties of medicinal plants have been known to mankind since time immemorial. Although the reasons contributing healing power to medicinal plants were known to people of that time purely based on experience and not because of any scientific inference. The gradual trend of decreasing drug efficacy of synthetic drugs along with the associated contraindications due to their excessive usage, has opened up the gates of knowledge for preferring the use of natural drugs once again ...
