Hello everyone Its a new post on a special day – A day where pharmacists all over the world feel proud to celebrate
You know they really deserve to solemnize, and we all should be thankful to them as we are shielded, at all times in the apprehended dogma which I tend to quote shortly as DPDR i.e Disease-Pain-Drug-Relief cycle.

Not all the nations tend to see this field ahem..ahem My field of Pharmacy in an upholding manner. Now-a-days in INDIA the trend changed we are making the society to see what this field really meant, There is a tumult for recognition,
The Pharmacy council of India PCI headed by Dr. B. Suresh who I consider personally as a role model has brought out an awareness/ A change-A switch that was needed for the whole nation to realize the honor of being in the field of pharmacy/being a pharmacist.
