Loneliness

  Loneliness. I was unoccupied with any work yesterday. Randomly watching a YouTube Vlog of a recently married Indian girl shifted to Switzerland. She was showing the beautiful, very clean,orderly Switzerland. It was enchanting. Then she said" Western world is very beautiful. But here,nobody approaches you Randomly. In India, you never feel lonely. But here,you are left alone as nobody disturbs you." Loneliness. Before Mobile ,Social media like X,YouTube, and OTT platforms entered our lives..... India was a place where people loved to interact Randomly. You are traveling alone in the train.There would always be a nosy Uncle / Aunty who would Randomly enquire where you were from,why are you traveling alone as a young girl in this long train journey, are you married or single...... Today's generation calls this conversation " Invasion of Privacy". But we never found it irritating. Instead,we would strike a conversation too.The long train journey would be ...

Passion and Dedication

 Passion and Dedication.  " Tumhein itni Shiddat se chaha....ke Poori Kaynaat jut gayi Mujhe Tumse milane. " I loved you with so much Passion that Whole Universe came along to help in our union. This is a dialogue by SRK in his movie Om Shanti Om. Passion towards anything and anyone . It needs to be so strong,that it drives a person to work with Dedication to achieve one's goals.  Results for our hard work are much better if we are passionate about the work. If the same work is given status of Chore.....then it is just completed as routine. Dull ,Drab....no enthusiasm...zero energy. Results become Mediocre. Passion drives person towards Perfection. While Chore attitude leads to Mediocrity.  My Ajji always told me when I was in school.... Whatever you do....studies,preparing for any complications,....even simple cooking a Dish,....or mopping floors..... Always view that " Work" with Passion.  Only then will you put efforts with dedication and sincerity. That will...

The Spinning Wheel

 The Spinning Wheel.  A Man was carrying a very fast moving Spinning Wheel on his back.It was moving so fast that it was piercing his back. Yet,he continued to carry that Spinning Wheel.  He waited for months for someone who agreed to carry this Wheel on own back. At last one person was sighted.... " Why are you carrying this Wheel on your back?" " This Wheel gives you Immortality. " The man got excited. " I want to be Immortal. Put that Spinning Wheel on my back." Immediately the Wheel got transferred on his back. And the previous suffering man escaped. The new Person now carried the burden and pain of the Spinning Wheel and started waiting for another Man to one day passby. Post graduation life is very similar to this story. After completion of MBBS, young Doctors get inspired by a branch of Medicine and decide to pursue specialization in that. I was inspired by Operation Theatre during Internship.  So after I returned back to Mumbai, joined as House sur...

Why do I write?

 Why Do I Write? Summer holidays gave us Baccha Party whole 2 months. Those were days of no TV,Mobile phone or Laptop. There were no Summer Camps or Workshops. All cousins would land up in one house. So total around 8 to 10 of us in our small Mumbai homes.All elders would leave for work in morning, to only return back late eve.Only my Ajji would be at home. Mornings and Evenings would be play time outside.  The hot afternoons would be a herculean task to keep so many bundles of energy occupied.  My Father would give us a topic and all of us had to write or draw on that topic and show him in the evening.  Few of us wrote. My love for writing began. I loved writing on simple day to day topics in simple words.And also I realised that Literature wasn't my forte as I just couldn't write lengthy pages on a topic. In school, I started taking part in Essay competitions and my Teachers loved my writings .My Language Teachers appreciated the Essays and ideas formed by me.They...
