My Footsteps

 The footsteps I take......


The Footsteps you take while walking....
Do watch.....
As someone is Following your Footsteps behind...

If we go on a Nature Trek....with no defined trail.....
If we are climbing a mountain......
Whatever footsteps our leader leaves behind....we just follow....
Either to reach our said planned destination....
Or get completely lost.

As a kid,I was always with my Ajji.My both parents being working morning till late evening.
Ajji was very simple,strict,organised, and disciplined.
Her thoughts modern but lifestyles was conservative- Early riser,simple home food,Daily pooja .She had just 2 meals a day.Always in  9yards .....
She was well versed with  Bhagwad Geeta.

When I joined MGIMS, Sewagram, the environment around followed Gandhian principles. My teachers were dedicated to Medicine and served selflessly.

Then I came to BYL Nair Ch. Hospital for my post graduation in Anaesthesia. Here I got opportunity to work with protocols based,organised and meticulous Teachers and Seniors in Operation Theatre.

I just followed the Footsteps left behind .

Many a times,we see on road unruly,ill mannered,rash people who violate rules and misbehave.
In a party,we come across kids behaving arrogant with other kids and staff.
People ruining public property and just for fun troubling others,creating a havoc.
People in a crowd pushing,jostling and harsh in their words and behaviors.

This attitude always leaves me wondering " Whose Footsteps are these Following?"

Children are like sponge.They just imbibe whatever they are surrounded with.
In closed four walls of our house,the environment we create and footsteps we take while walking in our homes.....our kids will be following those footsteps behind us.

The footsteps we take in our  day to day life.....oblivious of everything,
Footsteps we take when we doing our daily chores....
The mannerisms and attitude in life towards everything and everyone around us.....
Our kid is simply following our footsteps.

A teacher who is teaching her students doesn't teach only the subject.....
But the students are deeply imbibing slowly the teachers thoughts and actions.
The footsteps a teacher is taking while walking around the class while teaching.....
Students are walking the footsteps left behind.

If we expect a safe society with progressive attitude....
If we want law abiding dedicated ,mindful and sincere system....
If we want to be surrounded by love ,affection and respect......

We must watch our footsteps while we walk along a path......
Someone is following on those footsteps we have left behind.

How much......is too much?????

  How much ....is Too much????? I happened to visit my Paediatrician friend. An IAS officer brought her 2 month baby for check up.The baby was crying while passing urine.Urine tests and culture showed no infection. The concerned Mother showed a methodically maintained book on number of times the 2 month was breastfed,pooped, burped,passed motion,flatulence..body temperature..etc etc....We were surprised by minute details noted every moment of the newborn by the apprehensive but diligent new Mom. Now we come to the part .....How much....is too much???? To maintain asepsis....the overtly careful mom.....had wiped the private parts of the baby ...each time it passed urine or motion.....with concentrated hospital Savalon antiseptic solution...... This resulted in inflammation of the baby's soft mucosa over private parts.....making every passing of urine agonizing and burning....... Today,we have Apps and gadgets....Technology and information.....which help us monitor and modify ou...

Agnee- Path

  Agnee-path Agnee = Fire Path- in English means Way....Road. Feiry Way....... Do you remember of village melas...festival fairs..... A man would blow fire.... Walk over hot charcoal fire...... As a kid all this would be exciting to see...... I would wonder.... Can I too try these stunts???? Childhood is full of innocence and simple life Small things give immense joy. As we grow.....Expectations increase. When reality doesn't meet the demands of ever expecting mind....... We start blowing out fire.... Path we tread....feels like Hot Charcoal...... Ambition is good for growth. But an impatient mind.......wants that growth to be fast...... Expectations race ahead..... Reality lags behind...... Peer Pressure adds fuel to the developing frustration...... Social Media makes us Cynical...... Is Social Network bad???? No.Technology and Digitalisation has made life easy. Social Media has made communication easy. Globe has shrunk.Anything ,Everything....Anyone....Ever...
