  Responsible & Responsibility. My Ajji,born pre independence times,used to tell me,how big and huge her family used to be. At a time, kitchen used to prepare meals for almost 20 and more people. Apart from family members ( 16 and more) ,there would be extended family members,some people from her village visiting the city for some work....and even students from under privileged backgrounds. I was intrigued hearing non family members- Coming from her village randomly....and poor students being fed hot meals. My Ajja has financially helped many in their dire needs....and has even taken.... Responsibilities..... Of siblings,their education, and families.... Of people from his village hometown....

When 2 come together

  When 2 come together... During caveman age,man and woman came together. The Man went out to hunt and provide food for the family,while the woman stayed back in the cave ,nurturing, bearing and Caring. This understanding between 2 people..The Man and The Woman..... When the 2 come together... To form a Family...... The Man is the Care Giver. The Woman is the Care Taker. For many many years,the Man took complete responsibility of being the Provider. The Woman took complete responsibility of being the Nurturer. The Man was ever outside for major part of life and day. The Woman stayed at home ever. Hence,each was dependent upon the other for their needs. The 2 stayed together due to dependecy. Today,woman too has come out and spread wings.She too has a career and is financially independent. The Man is now learning to nurture along with working outside. When both Man and Woman ,are playing dual role.....Giver and Carer.... When the 2 come together.... How does the uni...

Trust and Healing

  Trust..... My first born when he was handed to me for the first time.....he was very tiny.I was inexperienced and emotional. It's not first time,I had held a newborn. I am a Doctor and Anaesthesiologist. Handled newborns even smaller than my baby...premature,underweight,preterm..... But Maternal emotions made my hands tremble. My newborn maybe felt scared...." Will this person hold me well?" Distrust and fear made the little one grab my finger with his little finger. TRUST..... A very important factor between 2 individuals.... Especially if one is dependent on the other. I have been in medical field for decades now. Anaesthesia and Emmergency medicine brings to me individuals in their most vulnerable situations. So ,when most precious " LIFE" / " Existence " of an individual depends upon my efficiency...... TRUST of patient on me needs to be more than 💯 % Nowadays, TRUST is missing. Awareness, Information ..... mostly inadequate, most ...

Few days back,a hospital staff gifted his young son KTM Duke.The young boy with another friend raced the new bike on the highway at night full speed,lost control and hit the divider. Both youths were on  spot dead. Morning, the small park with a walking track, visited by many senior citizens, saw 2 12/ 13yr old boys cycle on their new multiple geared bicycles .A walking track with uneven pavement, the boys found cycling the bike difficult. The ignorant boys attempted wheely, crashed trying to dodge the Morning walkers,and fell down.Both hurt themselves badly and had to rush to hospital. Such behavior is today very common every where in India. India today is upcoming developing country. Technology field has seen massive growth. Digitalisation has made everything accessible and available. Nuclear families has given lesser financial responsibility on earning members and hence today...

Overflowing Cup

  When the cup is not only full....but overflowing. I was asked ,once,...." How do you gauge your professional career success?" I come from a middle class background. My parents both came from very humble background. They worked hard against all constraints and hurdles....with compromises and sacrifices...and brought up my brother and myself . My strength was my education. Education opened doors of opportunities and privileges for me. My struggles ended the day I got my degree. Every Milestone was celebrated after that ....the day I started earning. When the cup is empty initially, even a drop of water quenches thirst and brings happiness.... But once the same cup becomes full and later starts overflowing..... Even if the cup is only 1/4 th empty..... We fail to appreciate that the cup is still 3/4 th full....and satisfy so many people. When our cups are overflowing, we fail to appreciate the abundance. We fail to express gratitude for priviliges...... Privilege ...
