What is with desis and self medication .. I normally get irritated with two types of people.

1. They have headache or body ache or maybe even cold. You ask them to take an OTC drug and they take a pride in answering 'oh I dont believe in medications' or 'I dont take medications'.

I mean is it some kind of achievement that you are annoyed by your headache, you are bugging others cause you are irritated hence irritating others, but refuse to take medication. What the heck is that all about. I just dont get it.

2. Second type is equally irritating, unfortunately my own famil memeber is from that group (did i tell that you that another of my family member is from the first group). Doctor put her on high blood pressure medication and High cholesterol medication. Based on her blood test, they prescribed a specific dose of both.
So what happens after 6 months. She decided that she should not rely on medication 'kyun ke jsim ko oos kee aadat ho jaa'ai gee. Dawa pe itna rely nahi kerna chaa'eeye'. and decided to cut her dose in half without asking doctor. Result? Her cholerstrol shot back pass 200 mark.

Kabhi kabhi dil chataa hai ke apnaa sar darwaazay pe zor se maaroon. Why am I born in a desi family.
