Walk of life

 Discipline.  A couple of years back,I met with an accident resulting in Fractures and ligament tear on my Left side.I had to undergo surgery and was off Anaesthesia work for a months Rigorous physiotherapy, rehabilitation exercises got me back to work.  The impact of the fall was exaggerated by my heavy bodyweight resulting in the Fracture.  This Medical Emmergency which had affected my Left Arm- The intubating arm of an Anaesthesiologist, alerted me. I became concious of my unhealthy lifestyle. The irregular unpredictable working hours of Anaesthesia private practice and Family responsibilities got me neglect my personal health.  Lack of Exercise and unhealthy irregular eating habits,irregular sleep patterns- No Discipline- increased bodyweight.  I am not the only person who has awakened after a personal Emmergency.  Many of us have a casual, lackadaisical attitude and approach towards Life. It's only when we get pushed against the wall...or at the e...

  My Heart has no space for " HATRED". Life is a journey. People we meet in course of this journey are Travellers. Some begin the journey with us from the beginning. Some come later. Some stay with us till the end while some leave us in between. Some are ever in transit....coming and going. Some give us joy .Some leave behind a wonderful memory cherished forever. But,some knowingly and at times unknowingly hurt us so much that a feeling of " HATRED" persists forever. We do forgive them. But Forgetting is never possible. Every time,when alone..... Or a mention..... Or a random conversation or a passing thought..... Triggers the Anger within..... Hatred...... A poison which stays within us forever. As we age,.... One realises the intensity of this strong feeling which overpowers even Love. Hatred is that anger which we feel  is being expressed upon that person who hurt us or betrayed us or wronged us. We feel Hatred is the best Revenge we inflict u...

 Life is Cricket. Upto 20yrs- U r in initial overs.Enthusuastic and excited.Trying to gauge the bowler and the pitch. Each move and shot is energetic. One wrong shot and u r out. But coach doesn't get angry.There are still other players and more balls . 30- 50yrs- Energy is still strong.But the attitude is more reserved. Calculated moves.No random shots.Patiently playing the game.Target is runs. U get opportunity to hit....grab it and drive it across the stadium. 50 -60yrs- Attitude is whatever previous players have played,accept it. Match isn't over yet. Still balls remaining. Just grab each ball to the best....Either hit hard or run fast . Agenda is Win the Match....or if losing....End it gracefully.  Beyond 65 yrs-..... Accept the results....and enjoy the remaining balls. 😁😁😁

  Sharing " Grief" Dr Tripti Milind Galgali Hubli. One morning, WhatsApp of one group was full of everyone posting their Heartfelt condolences to a friend who lost his dear mother. The next day ,I called him up.Initially was hesitant to call.Most nowadays don't answer to numbers not in their contact list for fear of Spam calls.Some dont answer due to work commitments and I had called up during working hours. Also there are so many rituals following death in all communities. The phone kept on ringing at the other end. I was about to cut ..... " Hello Tripti.How are you?" The familiar voice of a classmate who had studied with me but we had never been in contact for years after that except for a few messages on WhatsApp. A brief conversation about how strong his mother was ,her brave fight the last few months...... Brief but emotional. Digitalisation and Professional commitments have got us expressing feelings on virtual media. Emojis convey all emotions ...

 Chalk and Duster. -Dr Tripti Milind Galgali  Hubli Chalk and Duster,synonymous to a Teacher. The Pre Digital period ( Suddenly making me a Veteran 😁😄)..... Blackboard teaching in Classrooms was method of imparting knowledge and education.  The Blackboard then got transformed to Glass Green board . The white Chalk got more colorful- Pink,Green,Blue chalks. Beginning the day with  Thought of The Day written by the girl who had the best handwriting ( I have done that duty for years🤗) At the side ,the PAT ( Present/ Absent/ Total number of students for that day) table . Nostalgic.  Today, Digitalisation has replaced the Blackboard and Chalks and Duster. Covid Pandemic made On Line Classes popular. The physical interaction between Teacher and Students is getting lost . Teacher catches us either napping sitting back bench.Hitting us with that piece of Chalk. We girls adoring and admiring the beautiful saree of our Teacher and smelling the fragrance of the Mogra sh...

  Besan Laddoo. -Dr Tripti Milind Galgali Hubli. Besan Laddoo,a sweet made in every household in India. Chana Dal(Bengal Gram Chickpea split) Flour,Ghee,Sugar. Just 3 simple ingredients. A tedious time consuming process. Every occasion these Laddoos bring sweetness. Diwali festival is incomplete without Besan Laddoos. Weddings have so many sweet delicacies but Besan Laddoos are must. I don't have a sweet tooth. My Ajji made Besan Laddoos. The aroma, when the Besan Flour got roasted and mixed completely into the homemade Ghee,spread all over our home and neighborhood. " Ajji,are you making Besan Laddoos to be sent to your grand daughter to her hostel?" After Ajji passed away,my Amma started making the Besan Laddoos to be taken to hostel. When my kids went to hostel for studies( it's been almost 7yrs now),I have followed the ritual. Besan Laddoos ......when the aroma of the Roasted Besan reaches my neighbor downstairs.....it's time to switch off the gas...
