Humane amongst Humans

 Humane amongst Humans.


I was in 2nd yr of MBBS. Thought of giving a surprise visit to my family,so traveled in unreserved bogie from Sewagram to Mumbai and landed home early morning. 

My Ajji was very happy. 

Exhilaration made her prepare a sumptuous breakfast even in illness.

The whole process stressed her weak body and she suffered a massive heart attack and she left us for heavenly abode just hours after I had reached home.

Shocked and Grieving, I was accompanied by a close senior back to Sewagram. 

Remembering my Ajji,I was inconsolable and mindlessly talking about the whole episode which had taken place at home.

My friend was actually in a different mood.She had got engaged and was very excited about her new life.

We both were in different moods at that moment. 

Each wanted to share their emotions with each other.

My friend heard my rant for few minutes and snapped " Tripti,your Ajji was old.She had to leave you one day.Stop Grieving.Instead,let's spend the train journey together with conversation of my engagement. "

She was practically right.

A long 16hrs train journey. 

One can't spend it in Sad talks .


I went to the top berth and spent the train journey alone.


This incident, I understood Humans

And

Humane in Humans.


It's human nature to choose happiness over grief.

We humans strive for being happy in life.


When you are happy and celebrating,many will join you in the Happiness. 


But in Grief and suffering,only handful.


When happy ,you have company.

But when you are suffering and in grief,you got to do it alone.


When you are enjoying a very happy moment in your life,you will never allow grief or grieving to spoil your moment. 


A true Humane Human is 

Even when in moment of happiness and joy,spares a moment to share and support .....another human who is suffering and in grief.


That person is.....

A Humane amongst Humans.


A lesson learnt.


I may miss a wedding or a celebration. 

I never miss a funeral....nor a call of distress......whatever emotions I maybe at that moment.

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...
