Walk of life

  Life is a Trek. I have been to very few treks. Walking the difficult rugged path through jungles. Trudging the steep elevations of a hill. Sometimes while climbing the foot would slip. I would fall down bruising or twisting an ankle. Most times I would be the last one to reach the top. But...... I would meet the person who sprinted easily up to the top.... I would meet all of them who reached way before me. We all together would enjoy the beautiful view from top of the hill. Nobody bothered who came there 1st or who could reach their easily or who had to struggle a lot. What was important was.... The entire team made it to the top and together enjoyed the beautiful view. Every one enjoyed the Journey of The Trek. Life is very similar to The Trek. Some find the entire course to the top easy and sprint away to the top. While some struggle and fall.But there is always some friend who waits,lifts you up and supports you throughout the Trek Some reach the top early an...

  STRIP...... Forewarned. This blog titled provocative doesn't endorse nor intends provoking. In medical college, during my internship, Monday morning used to be Grand Rounds. The Unit Head,all Post graduates,nursing staff,interns, ward boys....would be present and bed to bed each patient examined,investigations seen,treatment discussed and over  each bed,Unit Head would question the Post graduates....case discussed,some investigations added,some treatments modified. Same time,the nursing and house keeping staff were monitored for cleanliness and hygiene of patients and wards.The minutest of details discussed. This routine is followed in almost all Medical institutions. But....... If an error is committed by either student or staff..... Some times the erred person irrespective of Post was reprimanded in front of every one. This situation is embarrassing. In a Corporate setup,a young Intern on her first day was assigned a certain task. She sincerely put in lot of ef...

  MY LIFE--- MY PRIVILEGE. Yesterday, I was about to administer Regional Anaesthesia to a pregnant woman posted for C- Section. She suddenly developed Anxiety Panic attack.Hysterical howling on the Operation table. Reason- She had 2 female children. What if this too is female baby? Her husband tried a lot to calm her and assuring that it's okay if it's a female baby.Nobody will force her for further pregnancy. I was in 12th std. I gave All India enterance exam and secured medical seat for which I had to leave my home and stay in hostel for 5 and half years. My neighbors warned my parents " Don't send your young daughter away from home and hostel life for many years." But my father wanted his daughter to pursue best education in best college in India and make a career. When I decided to start my private Anaesthesia practice, many told my husband " She will have to attend late night Emmergency cases ". My husband taught me driving my own car and s...

  Are you that? My mind wishes for many things..... As a child,I wished that my parents give me whatever I asked for....chocolate, chips,dolls,frock,...... But was I ready to be that child who listened to everything parent said? As a student, I wanted my teacher to chill....no homework, no difficult questions, no scolding, no lecturing..... But was I ready to be that sincere,dedicated, hardworking student for my teacher? As a teen ,I wanted freedom to do anything I want. But was I ready to take responsibilities for my family and accountability for my actions? As a worker,I wanted great salary,restricted responsibilities, fixed work hours,regular holidays..... But was I ready to work loyally and earnestly? As I entered Family Life, I expected respect and trust from my partner and family. But was I ready to return same equally? We pray to God for so many things in life.... But are we ready to be the human being God wants us to be? As an individual, we all expect many thi...

Madam Jayalalitha, her persona,Grit,Determination, Her Life....Raised by a single mother who worked small parts in cinema to give her daughter expensive Convent Education and then bring that girl at a very young age into film industry and make her act with very senior Superstars in Romantic movies( a naive 18/19 yr made to romance Superstars Shivaji Ganesan and the legend MGR who were very much her father's age)..... then following footsteps of her Mentor MGR ,entering politics to help her Mentor....being humiliated at every point of time......finally becoming a cult" Thalaivi". Same is the career graph of Actress Kangana Ranaut. Being humiliated for  her accent and grassroot Background.....yet this fierce talented girl fought all and against everyone questioning and doubting her.....Today,a well known actress...
