Sat through another training session at office the other day... this one on Naturopathy. It's in my quarterly goal sheet OK, I can't help but attend banal training sessions(who cares if it's training in Tai Chi or Oracle apps, as long as hours accumulate in my appraisal).
SO, the training on Naturopathy. OK, I was duped! It was supposed to be a session on stress management, but turned out to be something else. I nice lady discoursed in 'shuddh' and rather rambling hindi about the virtues and techniques of naturopathy. They are said to relieve every disease and ailment known to man except 'stupidity'.
Well, so the lady went on, and on... and on some more. It was kinda good, at least some of the techniques might benefit us software labourers. Towards the end, the nice lady tells us their 'sanstha' (organization, trust etc.) will treat us and 9 other family members for free using naturopathy. But to avail of this, one must complete the fomality of filling out a token form detailing history of diseases in the said members. And to fill this form, one must pay a small, token amount of... of... A Thousand Four Hundered bucks!!! Thats 1470 to be precise!!!
So what started of as an instructive session turned out into a marketting gimick for a little known healing trust. Gosh!!! and that too inside company premises, at the behest of the company itself!!! The icing on the cake, or should I say the cake on the face, was that someone tried to verify the veracity of this 'sanstha', and Google informed him that it was fraudulent scheme that promised lifelong treatment and thugged folks of their hard earned cash.
You know why such schemes work? Cause even naturopathy has no cure for basic stupidity.
