Books by Amit Patel

In 2013 Amit Patel is working as a trauma doctor when a rare condition causes him to lose his sight within thirty-six hours. Totally dependent on others and terrified of stepping outside with a white cane after a horrifying assault, he hits rock bottom. He refuses to leave home o...n his own for three months. With the support of his wife Seema he slowly begins to adapt to his new situation, but how could life ever be the way it was? Then his guide dog Kika comes along ... But Kika's stubbornness almost puts her guide dog training in jeopardy - could her quirky personality be a perfect match for someone? Meanwhile Amit has reservations - could he trust a dog with his safety? Paired together in 2015, they start on a journey, learning to trust each other before taking to the streets of London and beyond. The partnership not only gives Amit a renewed lease of life but a new best friend. Then, after a video of an irate commuter rudely asking Amit to step aside on an escalator goes viral, he sets out with Kika by his side to spread a message of positivity and inclusivity, showing that nothing will hold them back. From the challenges of travelling when blind to becoming a parent for the first time, Kika & Me is the moving, heart-warming and inspirational story of Amit's sight-loss journey and how one guide dog changed his world.

Marketed formulation consists of aqueous extract of G. glabra, Z. officinalis and A. vasica indicated for sore throat, cough, cold and flu. Results indicated that Raw material of Marketed formulation and Developed formulation were identical with respect to all organoleptic, physicochemical, physical, and phytochemical parameters. All three batches of marketed formulation were uniform in colour, size, loss on drying, angle of repose, bulk and tap density and also showed uniformity with developed formulation. HPTLC fingerprinting indicated presence of peaks at Rf in respective solvent system were matched with Raw material, Marketed formulation and Developed formulation confirm.
