He later on pursued MRCS from U.K. (Edinburgh). Dr. Kumar has been awarded Gold Medals for excellence throughout his academic career.
He talked about health and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Anshuman being an expert on cancer treatment, talked in depth about the causes of cancer and what preventive measures can be taken. India is soon becoming the cancer capital of the world due to the increasing number of cancer patients everyday.
Cancer is curable, but only if detected early. As it is famously said, Prevention is better than cure, and in case of cancer, there is no cure!
He told that how only 5% of cancers are genetic and others are caused by human activities like: smoking, drinking etc.
Sir also talked about mindfulness and the importance of living in the present and not in the past or future. He spoke of the five essential elements mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita: Space (akasa), Water (jal), Fire (agni), Air (vayu) and Earth (bhumi). According to Bhagavad Gita, our body is a union of these 5 elements along with our consciousness or spirit (aatma).
Harmony among these elements is vital to remain connected with our consciousness. Sir used several verses from Gita and famous quotes to make his point. The session ended with sir clicking photographs with the students.
