Small Pleasures

  Small Pleasures in Monotony of Life. Every day for most people is the same.Including myself. Alarm rings.Wake up to face another day. Some exercises or a Morning walk. Enter kitchen. Boil milk.Prepare Tea and Coffe. Breakfast and Lunch. Argue with the Househelp for some reason. Get ready and rush to work. Return home but pick some veggies or groceries on way. Prepare Dinner.Wash and Clean. Day ends. As a Student, life was Monotonous. School/ College, Classes,Tutions,Studies,Enterance and other Exams. Monotony in Life as a Student continues till Adulthood too. Initially it was for Exams...later it was for Targets completion. Struggle has always been evident. Amidst this.... Small things.... Small gestures.... Give pleasure ....joy. Kickstart the day...and work. Early morning, as I collect the newspaper and milk packet ...my Geriatric neighbor gives her dentured smile,waves ....All is well. As I leave for my work hurriedly, the 2yr old is heard crying as her mom...

Metamorphosis of Life

 The Metamorphosis. .....of Life. A journey of vulnerability and dependecy slowly evolves into confident and independent personality.  A Beautiful Metamorphosis.  A baby born .... So innocent.  Vulnerable.  Dependent on the Parent.  Slowly starts imbibing,emulating and at times even copying the words, actions and traits of the parent.  Recently, video posted by proud Papa ,American Singer and actor,Nick Jonas,showed his young daughter, Malti Marie, exclaim " Oh! My God " exactly the same way as he reacts..... It's interesting and exhilarating to see our kid enact our traits, style,and exclaim or react to situations just like we do. We love to show and talk to the world....our kid is " Chip of the same( old) block".... Then,as the child starts growing and steps into outside world.... It's exciting and same time anxious feeling as a Parent to watch a slowly different personality evolving in front of us. Varying reactions.... Different reactions from our...

Trek 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...

Harsh Words

  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...

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...

I want.... I wish

  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...
