Walk of life

 Value of a Parent..... I was standing at the small shop nearby a school to purchase something early morning.  I saw some school kids get down off the Autorikshaw, hand over 20Rs ,50Rs to the shopkeeper and buy chips,biscuits,tidbits,snacks hurriedly.  I asked one kid, " Are you going for a picnic today?" The kid moved his head" No." And the entire lot ran to the school gate as the bell started ringing.  The shopkeeper claimed" Madam,nowadays mothers don't have time to prepare breakfast for the kid so earing the morning. Earlier,joint family distributed work...now the lady has to do all work alone.So she hands 20- 50 Rs to the child to eat some breakfast.These kids buy junk food." This incident, got me thinking many aspects in Life. I had a working Mother.She would get up at 4am,prepare chapatis and one sabji .This would be breakfast and lunch for the entire family of 4.Lunch boxes for all 4 every day though would be the same. Then she left for work by...

  Responsible & Responsibility. My Ajji,born pre independence times,used to tell me,how big and huge her family used to be. At a time, kitchen used to prepare meals for almost 20 and more people. Apart from family members ( 16 and more) ,there would be extended family members,some people from her village visiting the city for some work....and even students from under privileged backgrounds. I was intrigued hearing non family members- Coming from her village randomly....and poor students being fed hot meals. My Ajja has financially helped many in their dire needs....and has even taken.... Responsibilities..... Of siblings,their education, and families.... Of people from his village hometown.... Of under privileged people around him. Post independence, my parents took Responsibilities.....financially and emotionally....of siblings and few extended family along with handful friends. Myself and my generation take Responsibilities of Only Family. Family is me,my spouse, k...

  When 2 come together... During caveman age,man and woman came together. The Man went out to hunt and provide food for the family,while the woman stayed back in the cave ,nurturing, bearing and Caring. This understanding between 2 people..The Man and The Woman..... When the 2 come together... To form a Family...... The Man is the Care Giver. The Woman is the Care Taker. For many many years,the Man took complete responsibility of being the Provider. The Woman took complete responsibility of being the Nurturer. The Man was ever outside for major part of life and day. The Woman stayed at home ever. Hence,each was dependent upon the other for their needs. The 2 stayed together due to dependecy. Today,woman too has come out and spread wings.She too has a career and is financially independent. The Man is now learning to nurture along with working outside. When both Man and Woman ,are playing dual role.....Giver and Carer.... When the 2 come together.... How does the uni...

  Trust..... My first born when he was handed to me for the first time.....he was very tiny.I was inexperienced and emotional. It's not first time,I had held a newborn. I am a Doctor and Anaesthesiologist. Handled newborns even smaller than my baby...premature,underweight,preterm..... But Maternal emotions made my hands tremble. My newborn maybe felt scared...." Will this person hold me well?" Distrust and fear made the little one grab my finger with his little finger. TRUST..... A very important factor between 2 individuals.... Especially if one is dependent on the other. I have been in medical field for decades now. Anaesthesia and Emmergency medicine brings to me individuals in their most vulnerable situations. So ,when most precious " LIFE" / " Existence " of an individual depends upon my efficiency...... TRUST of patient on me needs to be more than 💯 % Nowadays, TRUST is missing. Awareness, Information ..... mostly inadequate, most ...
