Metamorphosis of XX

 Metamorphosis of XX.....


An X chromosome from Mother....and another X from the Father......

And it's a Girl. 


Whenever a preterm or premature ,small weight,baby girl is born....

" It's a Girl. She is a born Fighter.....soon she will grow stronger."

Baby Girl grows bigger.

Little girl with 2 ponytails....ribbons tied.

Clutching her Barbie strongly.....

Her mommy's Heels...

Bangles and Lipstick to match.She tries to imitate her Mommy.

Little Girl grows further. Teenage gives her freckles,acne,braces on her teeth,riding her bicycle very fast and her fizzy hair blowing along the breeze....

Daddy's moppet....arguing and fighting ever with Mommy....." Baby Girl, slow down.Behave like a Good Girl and not running around like a TomBoy".

Youth turns this Rebellious Teen into beautiful lithsome adorable beauty.

Gone are the braces and the freckles.....

At the brink of adulthood,....the young girl is shy and soft.....

She dresses at times as a Teen....frocks and shorts....

Suddenly one day.....she stands in front of you ...in a traditional saree and Jasmine in her long hair.....

Though ,she may dress up in saree....when her Papa calls her....she runs ,lifting her saree till her knees ....and clings to her Papa ....just like a small child.

Still a little girl inside the Adult outside. 


Adulting softens and quietens the rebellious youth.

Marriage makes her mature and sobre.

The demure woman with pregnancy sees lot of changes in her....externally and also within herself. 

Stretch marks,pigmentation and lots of weight.....

She sees a grown woman very different from what she was prior Motherhood. 

Rearing and caring...

Nurturing and loving....

Time passes by....

She is growing older and so is her own little one. 

At 50.....she sees herself at threshold of aging.

Youth slipping off.

The hair slowly turning gray....face and skin all over wrinkliing....pigmentation everywhere.


Menopause makes her hot,angry and irritable.


Finally, she ages gracefully. 


Her stretchmarks and cellulites speak of her nurturing and Caring. 


Her wrinkles and gray hair testify her sacrifices and hardships.


Aging makes her mellow,more patient and even more slow.

Old age makes her lose her energy....but not her enthusiasm. 

Grandchildren bring back her childhood and memories fond.

Old age bends her down,cowers her completely. But.....

never has she ever broken down.....even in her most vulnerable moments.


I had told everyone at her birth.....

"She is a tough girl. She will fight strong ......

Till the end.


Dedicated to every girl child and every woman in our country....who have to fight hard for their survival and existence.....for their individuality and identity. 

Give her little love and affection.....

She will shower you with affection, nurture you with all her heart.

She will give her soul for her lived ones....her family, spouse and children.....everyone around her.

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...
