Essence of Life

 Essence of Life.


Sunday I happened to follow podcast on YouTube by Nikhil Kamath of Zeroda,interview all important personalities who happened to bring revolutionary visions which benefitted not only their companies but entire nation and society.
Nandan Nilenkani who helped Digitalisation, Aadhar and Infosys.
Elon Musk who brought Electronic revolution.
Kumar Mangalam Birla ,Chairman of the largest Conglomerate in India .
To name a few.

These personalities are well known, rich and famous.

But there are many lesser known, not so affluent and not so highly educated persons who have contributed to the society and our country in many different ways.
Salumarada Thimmakka ,a simple uneducated poor lady....was able to save so many trees from being pulled down.She helped in conserving trees and preservation of environment.
Dashrath Manjhii,a small illiterate laborer from Gehlaur village,Bihar,,single handedly with just chisel and hammer carved path across Mountain.
Arunachalam Muruganatham,a small entrepreneur in Tamil Nadu,invented machine which produced low cost sanitary pads which could be supplied to government schools and lower strata of Society.

Since childhood,we are taught to study well, acquire degrees and get well paying jobs which will make our life comfortable.

Many of us do successfully get higher education and prolific professional careers.
Few of us amass lots of wealth and become billionaires too.
But how many of us are able to create an impact on others lives?
How many of us are able to bring revolutionary visions which change the society?
How many of us through our work contribute to development and upliftment of society?
Majority of our Brains and Intellectuals during their formative years of education aim for greener pastures and better standard of living abroad.
Very few show inclination to use that knowledge, skill and technology for contributing to our India and place of birth and roots.
Essence of Life is not only making our life comfortable....
Essence of Life is making an Impact on others lives....
Impact on making others ' lives too comfortable.

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...
