Walk of life

  May 1st. Labor Day. Some memories of childhood. 70s -80s was Industrial era . Labor unions. Strikes and Fight between the Capitalist Bourgeois and Industrial workers. Labor Leaders/ Kaamgaar Neta. So many Movies depicted this struggle.....so many Actors became superstars playing the Messiah Role. We all remember this so well. But nobody talks nor bothers about that Middle Class worker who was at post of Manager managing the Workers.....or the Engineer who managed the machines. The plight of this Middle Class worker..... The Agricultural Tenancy Act in 1964,saw many middle class lose their small pieces of agricultural land as the tenant for 10yrs or more was legally granted the agricultural land. The middle class in interiors of India,found Education and Degree the source of income.Facing dire Poverty but ego prevents them to beg or ask for help......nor anyone helping or standing with them to fight..... No power,no Money,no Laws nor benefits to support... This class ...

 Shadow..... A Bird Couple built a nest.As the Mom Bird laid her eggs,Papa Bird fed her. Both sat in turns sitting on the eggs ....protecting and warming . The Eggs Hatched one day. Babies came out chirping. Both Parents protected their babies from harsh weather and predators....Fed them ..... To become strong one day..... To spread their wings  And Fly off into the Vast Blue Sky. Once the Baby is strong enough to take that Final Flight......The Parents Birds after that never interfere nor seen with them. Baby then has to Face everything on own....and find it's own Path. But we Humans......refuse to allow our Baby to grow strong,independent and find the Path.... Ever we try to be Protective,Concerned ..... And at one stage it's Termed " Interfering". Every Parent feels that he/ she must be that Wind Beneath the Wings of their Baby....ever....supporting ( Or Is it Pushing) the Flight across the Vast Sky. We forget that one day......That " Baby" has to find ow...

  I Quit!!!! Yesterday, my kids favorite teacher,a very motivating person who helped so many students perform better .....a disturbed student, a student finding it difficult to cope,an average or below average student  ....so many of them,he not only taught them to fare well but boosted confidence into them to do well with their life......such a person QUIT......He ended his life by hanging himself in his house....leaving a bereaved aged mother,a dependent wife and 2 very small children behind. Few days back,a Radiologist committed suicide while another Post Graduate student succumbed to Depression. Life is a challenge. Life is unpredictable. To all. Just as a Sinus Curve....there are Ups and Downs in life. Students have pressure of exams. Youth have professional career pressures. Adults have umpteen challenges. Finance,Relationship, Career,Illnesses....Peer and Society pressures.....Loans and EMI  .....Bull And Bear Stock Market add to the pressure.If added Addic...

  The Road Not Taken. By Robert Frost. Two roads diverged in the yellow wood And sorry I could not travel both. And be one traveler,long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other,as just as fair; And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same . Oh,I kept the first for another day! And both that morning, equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence Two roads diverged in a wood and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. To every person at the Crossroads. To every student at the Crossroads. To every Youth at the Crossroads of his Professional career. After 10th boards, In India,all students have to choose. Some choose the sa...

After 2 visits,her Pain zeroed down to main root of Pain .It was the muscles around her shoulder blade.They had become Hard and Swollen.( Chronic Inflammation).
