My first book, Possibilities with Parkinson's: A Fresh Look, developed the theory of spectrum presentation of Parkinson's disease. This book expands on those thoughts to describe the design of a Parkinson's self-management toolkit. As a writer advocating for the Parkinson's community, it is my hope that I can make a change not only in my Parkinson's but for others also."With Possibilities with Parkinson's: Developing a Self-Management Toolkit, Dr. C. has created another brilliant book that is supportive and provides practice tips for both the physical and emotional challenges of this disease. I strongly recommend this book to everyone with Parkinson's disease, their partners and anyone with a chronic neurological disorder, including chronic pain."Jeannette Guerrasio, MD Internal Medicine and Geriatrics, author of Embrace Ageing"Possibilities is a streamlined extension of Dr C.'s remarkable insights about the mysteries of Parkinson's disease. Dr. C.'s suggested action steps are indispensable for any sufferer determined to live well with their condition.Gil Thelen, President MeOverPD, author of Counterpunch: Duking it Out with Parkinson's"Dr. C.'s columns have so much to offer readers because they are so precise in their descriptions of symptoms and feelings. Dr. C. is so good at cataloguing prescriptions and developing a way forward that his lived experience lends them so much relevance and authenticity." Robert S., Editor, BioNews Inc.

The knowledge, the wisdom, the manners and morals, depicted in the epic tales, are our valued inheritance. Happily, this brilliant and mellifluous legacy, embedded in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, has been reinvented and retold in the present collection of epic tales. An attempt has been made in this book to retrieve the hoary past, qua the ancient tales, unknown or less known, with a view to making them known to the common citizens. The tales as implied in the title of the book "Recalling the Epic Tales," are both spiritual and religious. Verily, they may be remote in time, but they are not remote in thought.

Do you know that there was a "three-legged" seer, named rishi Bhringi? Perhaps you do not know. To make you "know" the "unknown," or "lesser known," is the sine qua non, nay the aim, of the book entitled "Story Time: The Puranic Wisdom." For the stories, myths, legends, tales, included in this volume, have been dug out from the holy scriptures and renowned classics. One of the characteristic beauties of the puranic and the classical literature is the happy amalgamation of nature and imagination. It is common to entertain children with stories in which birds and beasts are made to speak. But the stories of the Puranas and the epics are meant for elderly people. The usual expedient device employed is that these creatures in the previous birth, were human beings. For instance, a deer was a rishi in the previous birth, or a fox a king; the subsequent degradation being due to a curse. Each story teaches us something about life.
