Do Indian women have freedom?

Do they have more freedom than our neighbours?

Do Indians appreciate India ?

In this podcast I talk about the India I saw while growing up and while raising a child.

In this world of protests and abuses you need to appreciate the soil which gives you so much that you can say what you want just because you are a student and get away with it .

Khudiram Bose was just 18 when he was hanged to death.That young man didnt give up his life to support the current group of power hungry ,attention craving parasites,who think being young gives them invincible.

What does it really cost to become a doctor?

In this deeply personal episode of the Healthwealthbridge Podcast,I talk about competitive medical entrance examinations and share my thoughts on the recent NEET controversy, allegations of paper leaks, AI-generated misinformation, cybercrime, and the growing mental health crisis among students.

This is not an episode about taking sides. It is about asking better questions, encouraging critical thinking, supporting transparent investigations, and reminding students and parents that no examination is worth sacrificing one's sanity.

Medicine is a profession built on trust, resilience, and lifelong learning. Becoming a doctor should never come at the expense of mental well-being.

If you're a student, parent, teacher, or healthcare professional, this conversation is for you.

What happens when help meant to empower becomes a permanent crutch?

In this thought-provoking episode of the Healthwealthbridge Podcast, we explore the fine line between compassion and dependency. When does welfare create opportunity, and when does it unintentionally weaken individuals and societies?

Drawing on economics, ethics, leadership, and human psychology, we discuss why true progress comes from education, responsibility, resilience, and the courage to stand on your own feet. We also examine the hidden cost of unfair advantage—and why societies built on merit and empowerment are stronger in the long run.

If you're interested in public policy, and building a healthier and wealthier society, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I unpack the Broken Window Theory — a powerful idea that shows how small signs of neglect can snowball into major social problems.

From parenting habits that shape children’s futures to communities, healthcare systems, and even education reform, nothing stands alone.

👶 How does this theory apply to raising kids?

💉 Why does it matter for healthcare quality and access?

🏫 What lessons can West Bengal’s education system teach us about social reform?

Join me as I Dr.Amrita Basu connect the dots and reveal why you should care about broken windows — everywhere you look.

🎧 The Childhood Ingredient We Are Taking Away From Our Kids

In this episode, Dr. Amrita Basu reflects on a quiet but powerful truth about modern childhood—something essential that many children today are slowly losing. Through personal observations and insights as a doctor and parent, she explores how reduced outdoor play, increased screen time, and disconnection from nature are shaping childhood development, emotional wellbeing, and mental health.

https://healthwealthbridge.com/why-is-nature-essential-for-kids/

This conversation invites parents, caregivers, and educators to pause and rethink what children truly need to grow into healthy, resilient adults. From the importance of nature-based learning to simple everyday practices that support holistic child development, this episode offers thoughtful guidance rooted in lived experience rather than fear or guilt.

🌿 In this episode, we discuss:

• What children are missing in modern childhood

• Why kids need nature for emotional and cognitive growth

• Screen time vs outdoor play and its impact on child mental health

• Mindful and holistic parenting approaches

• Small changes parents can make to support childhood wellbeing

Whether you’re navigating parenting in a digital age or simply care about the future of children, this episode offers a gentle but important reminder of what truly matters.

When I initially thought of doing this podvast, I wasn’t sure how much I should say. Should I talk about the not so good and painful parts? Or should I just focus on the beauty of giving birth which is akin to a miracle? That's the one time you feel like a superwoman.

It's Thanksgiving week and I thought of giving thanks to my doctor who made my pregnancy a breeze.
