Letters

 When Words could be touched........


I was candidly checking my Treasure Chest of childhood memories. 

Found few letters written by my Ajji,Father,Aunts.....when in Hostel trying to boost my morales.

Letters......

Papers filled with words.....

One could touch and feel the words written with emotions.......

One could visualize the emotions of the Loved ones poured into the Letter......

One could visualize the face of the Lived ones while reading the Letter......


Today,the Paper has been replaced by the Screen.

The Pen is replaced by the Keyboard.....

The emotions are conveyed by ChatGPT......

and Emojis.


Pankaj Udhas sang " Chitthi Aayi hai...."

A song on Letter sent by a Father,Mother,Sibling from a remote village in  India to overseas.......

If a song could bring so many emotions.....

Then the Letter could bring.....

The smell of your soil,fragrance of your home,the breath of your lived ones.......

A Letter ......

From Parent to Child.....words of concern, words of warmth and love......words conveying well-being of family......

Just 2 words in the beginning......

Dear Child......would bring sea of emotions in the person writing and the person reading.......

One could feel the presence of Loved one around ....by feeling the ink on the paper......


A Letter....

From the Child to the Parent.....description of environment around,friends, studies......

The words expressing homesickness and longing .....and same time excitement of Education life.....stress of exams.....Happiness of Passing exams.....

Conveyed so many emotions in just one piece of paper.....

2 words ....Yours Lovingly ......written at the end ......gave satisfaction and assurance to Yearning anxious Parents. 


A Letter......

Written by the Lady to Her Lover.....just words ...got the Man feel her presence around him.... smell the fragrance of her hair.....( the lady sent some Jasmine flowers with letter).....hear her soft breath....just touching the paper filled with words of love.....

Written by the Smitten lover to his lady love....

Professing diehard love.....the pain being away from her.....the eagerness to be with her...Emotions made many become poets expressing love in form of paragraphs and sentences.....

It's only words.....and words I have....to take your breath away.....


Letters have memories.....

Letters have words.....


After many many years.....

The paper and the ink fades......


But each time,I read the Letters written to me with love.....

The emotions come back....bring back the cherished memories......Fresh as ever.....Forever.

I QUIT!!!!

  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...

When you lose Health

 When you lose your health...... I was referred a 70yr man suffering from severe pain. A CA Lung with metastasis. He was a very successful, famous Advocate.A Robust and Dynamic personality yesterday.  But that Cancer had made him weak and vulnerable.  He had become a frail shadow..... Another patient with Parkinson 's disease regularly visits for pain relief . A retired Chairman of a Conglomerate.  Both these people have been Dynamic personalities looked up on by everyone. They inspired youth by their enormous work and attitude.  Today,though the Brain is very strong..... The Body became weak and debilitating.  They get emotional " Why me,Doctor?" " Just look at me today.Yesterday I was energetic and always on the go.Today I struggle with pain.Tomorrow I may either be on a wheel chair or bedridden for the rest of my life." Yes,it pains,breaks even a Doctor's heart. We Doctors are taught not to be emotionally attached to the disease .We can sympathize the su...
