For months he had suffered from attacks of breathlessness and chest tightening. The scariest of all things was the rise in his heartbeat, as if in a race with time. Not now though. Now he was feeling refreshed, as if a weight had been lifted off his heart. He felt the youth, the fountain of energy coursing through his veins. He felt his heart begin to heal, and he smiled to himself. Must remember to thank Babaji for healing him completely.

Ramesh let an evil grin escape, once he saw Mr. Gupta leaving. Faith does work wonders. Healed heart indeed!

Oh my ….ya faith does work wonders 🙂 Different one indeed ….
thanks Sushree 🙂 Hey r u a doc too?
Aaha ! True, faith works in many ways 🙂 Appreciate your take, Gauri. This is different, but so close to real-life !
( Mine is on faith too, btw 🙂 )
Itis not just about faith Sreeja, it’s about blind faith in fake healers. On to your blog to read your post 🙂
Oh yes, faith can move the mountains. But one must be truly wary of these Babajis 😛
That’s what this post is all about. These babajis are conmen
Would it be right to call this a Placebo effect?
The human mind can work wonders. And quacks are really good at taking advantage of this.
Nice writeup. 🙂
Cheers

Updated my blog last night. Do drop by.
CRD, it’s not even placebo effect, I have seen patients with diabetes with blood sugar as high as 425, and refusing to go to physician because they have been taking their favorite baba’s medicine. This is how affected they are by their babajis.
Made your point in a subdued manner on fake healers that afflict society. Guess! It’s all in the mind..lolz
It is Vishal, and glad you could see it ;0

faith…..wonder if it’s good to do so for medical reasons…not sure…but wonderfully written , an important fact of life in India ‘the trust on babajis’
It is everywhere, from Gaothi medicines, to so-called ayurvedic but really fake roadside medicines. And it’s not just the uneducated class which gets affected… this is just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks for commenting Naba 🙂
Oh, I’ve met my fair share of devious ones like that! A great take on the prompt!
Thanks Michelle 🙂
Fake faith healers are dangerous, but I believe in faith healing itself 🙂 Personal experience:)
interesting take on the prompt
