Walk of life

 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...

 Mind and Matter.  I just read a quote. All problems are stuck between MIND and MATTER. When you don't Mind.... It doesn't Matter. With reference to positive quote for mental peace,the quote advises readers that don't take everything in life to your Mind.Not all things Matter in Life to stress our Mind unnecessarily.  But,one can't simply ignore everything happening around us. Majority of us don't Mind.... Bad Roads we travel daily.Roads dug out unscientifically.Flyover and Metro construction delayed. The Bad Drinking water we are supplied.It has so much salt and impurities which affect our health,every house needs Filters to make the supplied water in our taps healthy for consumption.  The chaotic Traffic around us.Arroagant Drivers ,lack of Civic Sense,zero regulations.  Power Cuts .Power outage. LPG ,CNG crisis. Corruption. Lack of Proper Governance. Rising Unemployment and inappropriate Labor recruitment laws. Education system and Exam management.  Ther...

 Sewagram Diaries.  " If you survive Sewagram, you will survive anywhere,anyhow and with anyone. " These were the parting words of my Professor on 1st January 1998.My last day in MGIMS, Sewagram.  1992,a college friend got me to fill the Pre Medical enterance exam of a rural based Central Government aided Medical college in Sewagram, Wardha. The All India enterance had along with Physics,Chemistry,Biology subjects, a 100 marks paper on Gandhian Thoughts. The enterance exam was to be held in Nagpur....that too in May. A Mumbaikar, never seen temperatures above 32deg throughout the year....and a person never traveled beyond Pune till date.... Traveling at 50deg temperatures in 2nd class crowded Howrah Express throughout the day..... The butter carried along with bread had melted and leaked from the container and stained my clothes in the bag. The Howeah express was having many students who were heading to Nagpur appearing for the Enterance exam.All were discussing the never...

  What eyes see..... As new parents, everyone wants the child to learn many things. Excited parents bring many toys and crafts to stimulate the child's brain right since birth. As the child grows, Apps are purchased, Gadgets and Technology brought into homes which will enable the young brain to grasp many things. Every parent desires the protege to have and enjoy best of everything. They aspire their little one to be the best when he/ she grows up. Best schools,best coaching centres,..... Best gifts.....and comfortable luxurious life and lifestyle. In all this methods and means of Parenting,..... Adults in the house remain oblivious to the Fact..... The little eyes..... See a lot since childhood.... Observe many things since childhood... And ..... Imbibe a lot into them....just like a sponge absorbs all the water around it. Yes....these eyes see all and hear all.....silently. Values are not taught. Rest all can be taught,bought and learnt ....especially today's ...

 Hell- Hole. India is a Hell- Hole. That's what an arrogant, orange faced..... But Red with Anger.... POTUS announced in front of media. A third world country,not bending nor obeying the Commands of The MOST POWERFUL IN THE UNIVERSE...... Is a Hell- Hole. I was a new recruit Junior Doctor in a hospital. The Surgeon I was appointed to work for was the most well-known Doctor who had a great practice.  I was very excited to work under such a Big Surgeon.  In the Operation Theatre,this Person became a completely different personality. A small mistake or ignorance or if his mood is wrong that day.....he would be abusing verbally with the choicest of words ( heard in Mumbai Dharavi slums),throwing instruments and at times violent - hitting and kicking the assistant and OT staff. Nobody objected.... Nobody replied back..... India got independence from the atrocities of the Gora ,Burra,Bada British Saahib in 1947. The British Saahib would use abuse- verbal and physical- to comman...

  Critic and Criticism. A person who judges,analyses always ..everything and everyone. Some are Critics by profession while most in society are Critical about all by nature. Critics rarely see anything good.Their eyes notice only the flaws and drawbacks. Their Words are filled with disgruntle....and dissatisfaction. The choice of words are ever harsh and abusive. Critics always vouch that Criticism is the only way to correct others. They feel Criticism makes the other person stronger and motivated. They vouch that Criticism throttles and pushes the other to realise their mistakes and shortcomings to perform better. All of us have been surrounded by Critics and faced their harsh Criticism a lot in life right since childhood. In school, I did have a very strict teacher for many years.She would be Critical about everything. Her Criticism would be full of abusive words. In Medical college, it was very common to have Critical Professors who verbally abused us students by creat...
