Walk of life

 LIFE BEYOND SCRUBS  DR TRIPTI M GALGALI  ANAESTHESIOLOGIST, HUBLI. I knock out people for a Living.  In bargain,  I forgot to make a " Life" for myself out of Living. I am a freelance Private Anaesthesia practitioner.I donned The Scrubs when I joined as Postgraduate in Anaesthesia department at BYL Nair Charitable hospital, Mumbai,in 1998. In 2003,I started my Freelance private Anaesthesia practice in Hubli after marriage.  Since 1998, Scrubs became my second skin.  Operation Theatre and ICU became My Home. Anaesthesia became my Life. Being an Anaesthesiologist became my Identity.  Managing long hours of Hospital shifts in Operation Theatre and even longer hours in ICU,along with Family responsibilities.... Life turned into a Treadmill- ever speeding and never ending.  Rat Race of Life- What began as a student studying hard to secure an All India Rank to grab MBBS seat and then a Post graduate degree, Youth and beginning of Adulthood got ...

  Have  I  MADE / DONE enough? Man is the most ambitious species on Earth. Amongst all species,it's only the Human Race who evolved from a Monkey to Cave Man to current Digitalised Technoligy driven evolution. It's unbelievable to actually see the transformation and evolution of Human Race. Today,we have created through Artificial Intelligence, Humanoid Robots who can think exactly and even more ....work and perform even better than us. Have we Made enough????? The ambitious human right from birth wants more. When the baby learns to sit,it wants to crawl.Once it starts to move around,the Aspiration is to walk out of the house to explore outside. When in school,we aspire to grow up fast and explore the world around. Youth fills us with Ambitions and Dreams. Adulthood brings the vigor and enthusiasm to climb ladder to success. Then,the list of Expectations towards ourselves and our Life grows and pushes us to Goals and Bucket List. And...... Each time,henceforth...

 When strangers become Friends..... Friends become Family. An Ode to my 92B Divas. In 1992,40 girls from different places,backgrounds, cultures met 1st time in Sewagram.  Orientation Program at Bapu Kuti. Strangers exchanging warm casual conversation.  5 and half years together and some more for those who did their Pist graduation too at MGIMS.  Soon time brought the girls together after spending time in JNGH through so many moments of joys,happiness and also Tears,Fights and Heated arguments to become Friends . Then  parted ways after securing the Degree.....again to different places. All 40 Friends with passing years ....supported each other through joys and sorrows,ups and downs. .. Distance made them away from one another but never stopped them reach out to each other. Today,girls who once met each other as strangers 34yrs back....became  Friends and Besties..... Journey of Life has now turned these Besties into Family..... 92B  Girls are now Divas...

  Do we live under an Illusion today????? Today, everyone feels they know everything and form an opinion about everything. Courtesy social media. We all are so confident about everything even if that knowledge maybe shallow or false. WhatsApp University is churning out students with shallow knowledge but Confidence Levels touching the skies. Everyone of us from a school going ,never even stepped out into real world to a Geriatric who has stopped reading and become homebound....every person forms opinion strong to advise others on any topic under sun. A student advises the Teacher on how to handle the class and impart knowledge . A Patient tells the Doctor about the diagnosis and treatment he / she feels must be done by the Treating Professional. The Army is asked to justify why an Operation Sindoor was carried and show the credibility of the Operation. The Group of Retired Geriatrics heatedly discuss during their regular morning walks on how the nation must be run or how th...

  The Nanny. Nanny is the word used for helper / caretaker for small kids at home. As most women now leave home for professional work and have  kids who are dependent age ,caretakers or The Nanny plays a crucial role. If The Nanny is good  ,meaning the small kid bonds well with her,the professional lady is able to concentrate on her work outside at peace. Then what is the worry for The Mother if her child bonds well with " The Other Woman" ,The Nanny"????? The new Mother is at guilt of leaving her child with someone else's care and feels selfish for pursuing her career. The guilt drives her to feel insecure when her own child becomes very and at times more comfortable with The Other Woman who has  now entered in their life. When her own child no longer gets upset in her absence....doesn't show Separation Anxiety when seeing Mother leave for work.... But when the child shows that Separation Anxiety towards The Other  Woman, The Mother gets upset and angry...

  Deep down.... Artificial intelligence in my phone helped me compile all my pictures and create a small movie.... I actually saw myself grow up and evolve in front of my eyes. The picture of me as a toddler admiring the accessories put on me and smiling and another saw me upset and crying in a new environment amongst a crowd of people. School pictures in uniform accepting prizes saw me happy and proud of myself. Teens saw me in makeup and costumes participating in dance and face full of expressions. College days saw me in different moods and in different places with friends. Mischievously dancing in birthdays celebrations in hostel, Tensed and serious in library, Exhausted and frustrated in scrubs in wards,Wearing a saree and excited ..... Dancing and Singing. Marriage and Motherhood pictures caught me in various emotions....elated,happy,exhausted,anxious,proud. Reunion with friends  clicked pictures of me and my friends change with age but the mood clicked by the ca...
