Slipping through my fingers

 Slipping through my fingers......


A very famous song by ABBA.


The moment I saw my baby extracted out through CSection,each moment since then....my memories captured my baby.....

Each moment I tried to hold tightly with both my hands.....

The first smile.....teething troubles,the crawl, the first Word,the first step......

Their first day at school with tears in their eyes.....and mine too......

The first stage performance......

The exams ....the results.....

The summer holidays.....

The activities done together.....

The arguments.....the shouting......

Each moment I wanted to stay forever.....

But however hard I tried to hold the moments tight......

I saw them slipping through my fingers.

My babies grew so fast......

Before I could sit down and enjoy each moment......they outgrew every moment. 

Time flew so fast.....so did my babies spread their wings and flew off from the nest......to find their own path and tread their own journey........

Slipping through my fingers......

Moments are now just memories.....

To reminisce.....To look back ......and cherish. 

When alone.....the house now silent and quiet.....

I can only hear the hustle bustle....the laughter....the shouting in my mind......

The more I try to hold them tight.....

The faster ....are they.....

Slipping through my Fingers.

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...
