India — After two months of renovation, Dr. Reshma Ramesh has officially reopened her dental clinic, welcoming patients back to a refreshed and modernized space.
Expressing heartfelt gratitude to her patients, Dr. Ramesh thanked them for their patience and loyalty over the past 15 years, acknowledging their trust as the cornerstone of the clinic’s success. “We are open! Thank you for believing in us and making our humble clinic what it is today,” she said.
The clinic, known for its gentle and personalized care, now enters a new chapter of service. Dr. Ramesh affirmed her commitment to continue providing high-quality dental care with dedication and compassion, emphasizing that patient comfort and confidence remain her top priorities.
She also shared a personal note, apologizing to those she might have been unable to reach during the renovation period. “Setting up the new dental clinic has completely drained my energy and required my full attention — I’m exhausted but happy,” she admitted with a smile.
Now, I know the secret of this smile she has when we met for the first time in Moscow, attending the 2nd World Congress organized by the World Organization of Writers (WOW), when the President, avant-garde poetess and artist Margarita Al invited dozens of creative pens from around the globe. Reshma’s smile carried the quiet radiance of someone who believes in life’s gentle promise. It was the smile of a poet who listens to the heartbeat of words, and of a dentist who heals not only with her hands but with her presence. When she smiled, it was as though a door opened toward light — a calm, unwavering light that restored faith in those who had forgotten how to hope. Around her, even silence seemed to breathe easier. It is also a chance to thank her for the “sweets gift, I think it was a secret invitation to visit her clinic to treat teeth!
Looking ahead, Dr. Ramesh expressed optimism for the future: “Here’s to the next decade of making your smiles beautiful and healthy.”
Inside the clinic of Dr. Reshma Ramesh, the renowned poet and medical professional, stands an elegant book cabinet that reflects the depth of her intellectual and artistic pursuits. The collection brings together a harmonious blend of medicine, literature, and art, mirroring the duality of her vocation — healing through both science and words.
The shelves feature a wide range of medical textbooks on topics such as oral pathology, orthodontics, periodontics, and clinical practices, indicating her dedication to academic excellence and professional mastery. These works form the solid scientific foundation of her medical career.
Alongside the professional volumes, the library opens a window into her literary soul. The shelves are lined with poetry anthologies, novels, travel narratives (She travels endlessly; if I’ve managed to see 37 countries, I can only imagine how many more destinations she has already touched) and philosophical works from authors around the world. Titles such as Capital, Mongolia, and Mother Language reveal her curiosity for global culture and human experience.
What makes this library truly unique is the coexistence of art books and creative writing with scientific literature, symbolizing Dr. Ramesh’s vision that art and science are not opposing forces but complementary paths to understanding life. The selection demonstrates her belief in continuous learning, aesthetic sensitivity, and the universality of knowledge.
In this serene corner of her clinic, literature and medicine meet — offering inspiration not only to her patients but also to anyone who believes in the healing power of both words and wisdom.
Considering art corner, the second secret has been uncovered too, as she wrote on her way back from Russia: “Every time I come back from my travels one of the first things I do is to go and look at my father’s new paintings. This time each one is better than the other. Ramesh Narayan”
It is a rare privilege for an art lover who cherishes the watercolor tradition to immerse themselves in the world of an artist who captures, with delicate precision, the fleeting details of everyday life in India.
This watercolor composition captures a quiet intersection of nature and human presence — a fleeting yet eternal moment where stillness speaks louder than activity. The artist’s choice of medium, watercolor, is not incidental but essential: its fluidity mirrors the transient beauty of the scene itself, where sunlight filters through a canopy of leaves, dissolving form into atmosphere.
At first glance, the painting presents a familiar subject — an open café beneath trees, patrons engaged in muted interaction — yet its power lies in the restraint with which it is rendered. The figures are silhouettes, almost anonymous, as if subsumed by their surroundings. They become part of the landscape, their existence measured not by detail but by tone and rhythm.
The dominance of green hues — modulated with subtle gradations of light — builds an organic architecture that feels both protective and infinite. The reflections in the lower register, where birds linger near the water, introduce a counterpoint: movement against serenity, detail against abstraction.
What emerges is not a simple depiction of leisure but a meditation on perception itself. The café is less a place than a state of being — suspended between human warmth and natural indifference. The artist achieves this equilibrium through deliberate compositional balance: a triangular harmony between canopy, structure, and reflection.
In essence, this painting transcends its setting. It evokes the delicate correspondence between the seen and the felt — where watercolor becomes memory, and the ordinary afternoon transforms into a quiet act of contemplation.
Explaining a grand master piece of her father, Dr. Reshma Ramesh wrote:
Sixty four-year-old Arjuna, the elephant that carried the golden howdah during the Dasara procession in Mysore,died in a fight with a wild elephant during the elephant capture operation in Sakleshpur. Arjuna carried the 750-kg howdah during the Dasara procession eight times until 2019, when he turned 60.
Saddened by the news my father painted this in water color as a tribute to Arjuna, Arjuna the royal elephant will be missed by everyone in Karnataka, 😢 Ramesh Narayan this is your best work so far.
