Walk of life

 This used to be my playground..... This used to be the place I ran to.... Whenever I needed a Friend.... School days are the best days....Friends made there remain lifelong..... As School is the longest period we are together if we have been since 3yrs of age in Nursery till High school....maybe almost a decade or so.Growing up together and facing infancy to puberty.  The friends made in school and college are more close as they accept us as a person as we are....not as XYZ professional.  After education, all of us due to professional and family commitments drift apart. But, here, I must thank WhatsApp and Facebook to bring us together if not physically but virtual media....yes. Zoom meetings gave a new meaning to Reunions. Few years later some of us do make efforts meeting each other on that same playground.....walking across the same corridors of school or college. Sitting on those wooden benches.Looking to the now empty blackboard and Bulletin boards. Reminiscing thos...

 Midlife ,by definition, is age between 40-50 years of age. In life,we get pulled in all directions- responsibilities of home and Relationships, professional commitments, health issues of our own and dear ones,Aged parents....etc etc. By the time,we reach midlife....Whole process becomes a Rat Race......ever running on a treadmill trying to compromise, play truce and ever working hard reaching deadlines. In due course,life reaches a PLATEAU as we surrender ourselves totally hands down to all challenges life throws at us.Monotony,Frustration and Dejection....... State of Hibernation.....Stage of Inertia.  At this juncture of life.......if we want to be relevant........Change or Momentum in life...... "PIVOTING " is the Mantra.  Change must be constant.Stay relevant to grow in your life. PIVOTING in Midlife.....is not easy....but not difficult also .Life is conflicting.Accepting the challenges,managing the lapses of time and most importantly Patience with ourselves....... H...

 Past few days,Social media is flooded with news of assault on a Surgery 1st yr Resident in Govt medical college,Yavatmal in Maharashtra.The young Doctor was stabbed unscrupulously by a patient from behind during morning rounds. This news took me Deja Vu back to 2003. One afternoon I get a call from my Mumbai Doctor friend" Tripti,Dr VVJayakar is no more". Dr VVJayakar was a renowned Physician in Mumbai He got extremely critical patients all over Maharaj for consultation.  Likewise,a young boy was brought from interiors of Maharashtra by his brother for consultation. This boy was brought in such a critical condition that Dr Jayakar and his team explained everything to the relatives prior to admission  Despite if rigorous treatment the boy unfortunately succumbed to his illness.The team put all efforts to reason with the enraged Brother of the patient .But nothing calmed him. In a fit if anger,he ordered Amateur Supari or Conteact killers who shot Dr VV Jayaker into his ch...

 My Mini -me.......   My Mini-me has my blood.......we sharing the same Blood group.... But she doesn't look like me....... We share the XX chromosome...... But she is exactly like her Papa.........

 I am for you.You are for me. We are forever. Golden words we all pledge to each other for any relationship in life..... whether in Family or Friends.....anywhere,anytime for everyone we love, we care for....... Today, Social media......of any kind is flooded with Relationship goals and advice. But as a Paradox, why are we facing an alarming rise of broken relations,disheartened souls,dejection, depression and unhappiness in general.  Why are we seeing such low RI: Relationship Index. In any relationship, at any phase or at any point...there is never equal 50:50 contribution between the 2 partners.Either it is 70:30  and at times 80:20. The survival of the relationship depends upon how much importance the 2 people in that particular relationship ....give to that relationship rather than themselves.  What is the secret of lasting relationships which our parents, and their parents had with one another??????  What is the reason of high HI: Happiness index in them??...

 Every morning I enjoy a cuppa hot Freshly brewed Filter Coffee.I brew previous day.The decoction is prepared by over night percolation .The aroma and taste of this pain stakingly prepared Filter Coffee remains fresh and Everlasting in my mind and tastebuds.  In Contrast to this my 2 minutes only Instant Coffee as per its name vanishes off in the same speed as its preparation   In Life, Success too is like my Cuppa Coffee. Success achieved through Instant Gratification through Short termed Goals is not well appreciated. It doesn't bring great thrill nor long term happiness.The taste of this Success doesn't last long forever.  In our pursuit for Instant Gratification, we get distracted, hasty ,unstable, unsteady and at times reckless.This recklessness at times becomes self destroying.We remain unfulfulfilled,unhappy and depressed.A lack of self discipline and narrow minded thinking creeps into our impatient mind.We fall into the trap of indulging in fleeting plea...
