Walk of life

  The Best Phase of my Life. I was listening to an interview of a well known personality. " Which has been your life's Best phase?" His answer ... Every phase of my life from childhood to growing up till date has been Best Phase of my life. Interviewer: Did you never face any bad moments which let you down?" Answer: Every phase of life at any point or age has its own ups and equal quotient of downs.The downs make you tough.They teach you to value the ups.If life was full of only joy ..it's never heaven. It's boring. Life needs variety of happiness and set backs.Only then do we enjoy.Hence all phases of my Life have been Best." When young,we tell ourselves " Tomorrow I will reach this place and will have this.Then I will be at the Best phase of my life." We reach that place ,buy some ,lose some.Again we tell ourselves " Tomorrow......" That Tomorrow does come but we never get to be in the Best Phase of our Life. Always someth...

  Destiny and Fate. Dr Tripti Milind Galgali. Hubli. Destiny is what you are born with.What is offered you.What falls into your lap. One can not change Destiny. The parents who bring you on earth,the house you are born into,the environment which surrounds you at birth...The body you are given- sex,color,height,nose,eyes,fingers,legs...Destiny decides everything . Music composer Ravindra Jain was born blind. Actor Hrithik Roshan was born with a Spine defect. Albert Einstein had reading and writing disability at birth.His speech delayed.He was called Dumb. Paralympic gold medalist High jumper Girish N Gowda from Karnataka was born with a defect in his left leg. Destiny made them not so privileged. All these people accepted their Destiny. Worked hard by grabbing each opportunity which fell into their laps and converted into success. They decided their Fate. Destiny is God's gift. One has no choice. But Fate.... How we want our Life to be lead... The journey and the pa...

 TLC Tender Loving Care. The true nature of a spouse,a friend or your children is revealed only when you fall sick. A 65yr lady was referredto my Pain Clinic in irreversible stage of Leiomyosarcoma of Vagina. She had a Colostomy bag.Undergone Chemo and Radiotherapy for the same. She had been given just 6 months survival. Hence her family took her to their remote village.  A very simple grassroot family with meager finances. After 4 years ,her son brought her to the Oncosurgeon for pain relief.  The Morphine tablets were no longer relieving the pain. Every one was shocked to see her alive ,happy ..... But what made us happier was... Though she was bed ridden for years,the whole family had taken such good care of her,there was no beds ore.She looked relatively healthy and relaxed. I examined her.The deadly cancer had eaten away all the soft tissue, muscles in the perineal region around the vagina.Foul smelling ulcer which just wasn't healing....exposing the surrounding bone...

 Acts  of Love without words. " I Love You". 3 words. Express love. Today, Social Media,Insta reels, Gifs,Emojis.....so many platforms professing " Love ". Love of Parent for child and vice versa. Love for siblings to each other. Love between 2 individuals. As Friends or Lovers,or colleagues. Love is demonstrated, expressed in various ways- words,gifts,songs,tattoos .....reels,videos, dance,..... Every one is today openly displaying the emotions for Love. But can Love be shown in any other way? Subtle. Silent. Just acts and emotions hidden inside. Yes.Absolutely. A strict Father who hardly ever spoke words of love. He working day and night for good education and comfortable life of children...Love shown to children. Coming late at night and lightly caressing the head of the sleeping child....Act of Love. Waiting for the child to come from school and coaching class in late afternoon. Serving hot food to the tired child.....All out of Love and concer...

  Mumbai Nostalgia. Recently I read a post on Facebook. BEST had decided to discontinue the bus No.1 route Colaba to Bandra. Citing reason that Bus no.51 Colaba to Santacruz catered to same route. But huge public outcry forced BEST to restart Bus No.1. Bus No.1 ,I have taken for years.Dadar to JJ,Byculla/ KEM,Parel. Dadar to Shivaji Park/ Mahim/ Bandra. From 11th std for my tuition classes,or my visit to Aai( my Maternal Aunt lived in Bandra) and later for various reasons to KEM/ JJ hospitals as Postgraduate in Anaesthesia....later for workshops. In Mumbai, most of our hours in a day is spent in traveling- mostly in local trains or BEST buses. Same route,same time....for years. Only after one goes away from tat route or away from Mumbai....mention of the route and travel brings back nostalgic memories of those days. Bus No.1,No.65/69/66( my Nair hospital and Hurkisandas hospital days),No.501,504( Dadar to Vashi).... Train from Vashi to CST,Bandra to Borivali during my Pos...

  RESILIENCE QUOTIENT. A baby bird was struggling to come out of the egg.The hard shell was very tough to crack. Seeing the struggle of the small creature, a person broke the shell for the baby to come out easily   Did the person help the baby bird indeed???? No. The baby bird  was born too weak to sustain the hardships of life.Its wings couldn't develop strong enough for its flight . Had the person allowed the baby to fight against the hardness of the egg shell,the wings would have become strong and the baby born would be RESILIENT. Do we allow ourselves to become Resilient? WHAT IS OUR RESILIENCE QUOTIENT? I saw a movie yesterday. LAWS OF ATTRACTION. Starring Pierce Brosnan and Julliane Moore.Both playing Divorce Attorneys who have never lost a case. A dialogue by Pierce Brosnan " Today,we have forgotten to fight out against and for anything in our life.Be it career,relationship or life.We are just not Resilient. We prefer to Quit or Backoff and run." A...

  YEH DIL MAANGE MORE..... Remember  the old  Pepsi Advertisement. Shah Rukh Khan replaced Amir Khan and new caption" Pepsi- more fizz....Yeh DiL Maange More". I purchased a new coffee powder brand for my morning Filter Coffee after using the old one for years.The new one was stronger and so was it's aroma. After a few months,.....Yeh DiL Wanted More. Today,we all are being spoilt by choices. Lots of options and that too Variety. Our Attention Span is now getting short lived.So is our interest. So easily we get excited about anything new .But that early too we are losing our interest. Any product in market is being launched by eye boggling Advertisement. Catches everyone "s attention. But the popularity is short lived.Another one replaces it after just few days......After all Yeh DiL Maange More. But the same attitude prevails for other things in life too. A girl and boy get attracted to each other instantaneously.Post their undying live for each other.Upda...

 Self Esteem. " OH! He/ She is not upto the mark". A very random comment.  Don't we many many many times casually pass our judgement about a person???? A very random and casual comment.  The person passing this comment may not feel it's importance or might have unknowingly spoken them. But do we realize the effect this random comment passed just casually, has on the specified person? Abhishek Bacchan recently in an interview spoke about this. A series of flops in his debuting career,got media comparing him with his legendary father ,Shri Amitabh Bacchan. " AB's baby is just not upto the mark." This comment coming from everyone and everywhere,affected him so much,that in many parties,Abhishek would himself comment in front of his mother and people around" I am a flop". Many kids in our current marks oriented curriculum fail to bring in those percentage....or that All India Rank( AIR) in any competitive exam..... Or..... In later life,the number ...

 Visitor who loved his Drink. It was midnight, a soft ( I thought hand) touch caressing my head. Oh,Ho!!! Husband is in quite romantic dream...... So I raised my hand to hold the " Hand"..... Suddenly, The Hand had claws which grasped my hair hard....Husband's fingers have got big claws Suddenly 😳. I tightened my grip on The Hand.It started wiggling and it's claws started hurting my scalp.I yanked it out off my hair and threw it away.A big yell.Husband got up ." Tripti, what happened?". Me: There was a creature on my head.Probably a Mouse." Husband: " You may be dreaming. No mouse will climb 2 floors above ground nor is it smart to use the lift." The next 3 days,I heard some scratching noise in the wardrobe. But couldn't find anything. So thought am getting real bad nightmares watching" Crime Patrol " on TV. The househelp showed me some droppings in the corner. I took photos and searched on Google Actually my living room ceiling...

 Accent and Mannerism. A 32y IT professional working in Reddit in US posted that he and his Indian colleagues were asked not to speak in meetings as nobody could understand their accent .The typical Indian mannerisms of hand and facial expressions were ridiculed and embarrassed by Co workers there. I saw recently a Marathi movie" Gavthi".A B.E Computer Engineer from rural Maharashtra when sought jobs in Corporate setups in Mumbai was ridiculed by all in interviews because of his Vernacular Accent. Each person whether in our own country or in Abroad ...Globally.....has an Accent and Mannerisms ,developed by the environment he/ she is grown up in. That's natural human tendency.  The Accent and Mannerism remain within us forever even if we leave the environment.  South Indians have their own Accent.  North Indians their own. West India....Maharashtra or Gujrat or Rajasthan.... East....a Bengali or Oriya has their own Accent.  So does a person from North East. Why w...
