Walk of life

  What eyes see..... As new parents, everyone wants the child to learn many things. Excited parents bring many toys and crafts to stimulate the child's brain right since birth. As the child grows, Apps are purchased, Gadgets and Technology brought into homes which will enable the young brain to grasp many things. Every parent desires the protege to have and enjoy best of everything. They aspire their little one to be the best when he/ she grows up. Best schools,best coaching centres,..... Best gifts.....and comfortable luxurious life and lifestyle. In all this methods and means of Parenting,..... Adults in the house remain oblivious to the Fact..... The little eyes..... See a lot since childhood.... Observe many things since childhood... And ..... Imbibe a lot into them....just like a sponge absorbs all the water around it. Yes....these eyes see all and hear all.....silently. Values are not taught. Rest all can be taught,bought and learnt ....especially today's ...

 Hell- Hole. India is a Hell- Hole. That's what an arrogant, orange faced..... But Red with Anger.... POTUS announced in front of media. A third world country,not bending nor obeying the Commands of The MOST POWERFUL IN THE UNIVERSE...... Is a Hell- Hole. I was a new recruit Junior Doctor in a hospital. The Surgeon I was appointed to work for was the most well-known Doctor who had a great practice.  I was very excited to work under such a Big Surgeon.  In the Operation Theatre,this Person became a completely different personality. A small mistake or ignorance or if his mood is wrong that day.....he would be abusing verbally with the choicest of words ( heard in Mumbai Dharavi slums),throwing instruments and at times violent - hitting and kicking the assistant and OT staff. Nobody objected.... Nobody replied back..... India got independence from the atrocities of the Gora ,Burra,Bada British Saahib in 1947. The British Saahib would use abuse- verbal and physical- to comman...

  Critic and Criticism. A person who judges,analyses always ..everything and everyone. Some are Critics by profession while most in society are Critical about all by nature. Critics rarely see anything good.Their eyes notice only the flaws and drawbacks. Their Words are filled with disgruntle....and dissatisfaction. The choice of words are ever harsh and abusive. Critics always vouch that Criticism is the only way to correct others. They feel Criticism makes the other person stronger and motivated. They vouch that Criticism throttles and pushes the other to realise their mistakes and shortcomings to perform better. All of us have been surrounded by Critics and faced their harsh Criticism a lot in life right since childhood. In school, I did have a very strict teacher for many years.She would be Critical about everything. Her Criticism would be full of abusive words. In Medical college, it was very common to have Critical Professors who verbally abused us students by creat...

  What do you attribute Success to....... When I was in school, each time I came first...whether curriculum or extra curricular..... I attributed it to my Hard work,Efforts of Regular practice, Dedication. When I gave my 12th boards and pre medical enterance exam,... I fell short of just 4 marks in One subject, Physics,....I couldn't get seat to the best medical college in Mumbai. But I could get a medical seat .....and in a good medical college, MGIMS, Sewagram. I attributed it to my Luck. It was just bad luck,....rest subjects I had scored 97 and 99 out of 100( Biology and Chemistry respectively. But same time,I was lucky to get a good Rank in pre medical enterance exam and secure a seat in one of the finest medical college. Luck played a lot important factor many times in life later too....Good and Bad results both. Then came the phase of life where many factors apart from Talent,Skill,Hard work and Luck.....attributed to Success. Power,Position, Wealth..attributed to ...

 Uphill and Downhill.  Today,I took an elevation route for my morning run. While running Uphill,my  muscles cramped as the climate was  very hot and weather today a bit humid. Body had heated up.Face flushed.I was sweating profusely.  It reached a point I was thinking of stopping to catch a breath. I paused for a moment. Stretched. Started jogging slowly.  But I didn't stop running.  Then came the Downhill. Every one feels running down is very easy. That's actually not so. Running Downhill is difficult as lot of pressure comes on the knees. We get more injured,in fact,running Downhill than doing the Uphill. The Downhill requires more controlled and mindful body movements during the run. Life too is so similar.  When we face difficult phase in life.... Stressed,Tired,and frustrated....moving ahead if becomes cumbersome and demanding... Pause. Energize yourself. Analyse the situation.  Then begin the journey to move ahead. But never quit. Slow ...

  I am my sole Critic. I learnt this very early in my life. I was in an interview for selection of students to perform Arangetram ,our first official dance performance on stage. Along with me were many girls from my dance school. I looked around. All of them were tall,slim,beautiful. The photographer present there for photoshoot of the girls to be selected was taking pictures of only those girls who were lithsome and elegant....actually good-looking. Eyes on me questioned my eligibility as I was short, plump,dark ....to summarize Ugly. My turn came..... My dance was so graceful ...my Guruji and all girls present simply stood still watching me dance .. almost the entire sequence of 1 hour . Everyone forgot about my physical appearance. That moment.....all that every one saw was my facial expressions and my flawless ,smooth body moving to the song and beat....rhythmic and mesmerizing. I got an applause and lots of blessings from my Guruji. I learnt a lesson about life. ...
