Walk of life

 USP....Unique selling Point. When I was a kid,saw Dilip Kumar portray Tragedy.Then came Rajesh Khanna defining Romance.Amitabh Bacchan brought the Angry young man. There were shops which were famous for one particular sweet. As I entered college, we used to go to Mani's near Ruia college who made great Vada Rasam.Sardar 's in Bandra was famous for Pav Bhaji. To summarize my point  Each individual had a USP. ....A Unique Selling Point. The individual mastered the Art or technique they were famous for.which was their USP.In due course of time they brought in innovative ideas and creativity but in that field they were masters. Pancham Puriwala at Fort...initially sold only Poori and Aloo Sabzi. In due course of time, added 100 varieties of Poori in menu. We would visit that particular place traveling hours to enjoy the USP factor. But today.....Corporate culture has entered in everything. Commercialization of everything has been done.  As a result,the USP Factor has got los...

 A Step Back This blog is for those young girls who are ambitious, go getters and highly skilled professionals. The ones who are on brink of motherhood.The ones married to equal partners belonging to professional families. Nobody forces us or thrusts Authority on us. Our decisions for our life is at our own free will and our terms.  I do not preach,endorse or ridicule any other individuals.  My blogs are  experiences and my views.  I have been a hardworking and intelligent kid.My academic career has been excellent. My family has always doted on me and everyone has been very proud of me.In short " Ideal Idol" for many to follow. I have had an equally successful professional career as a Freelance private practicing Anaesthesiologist. That too after birth of my 2 kids.But when the kids, I felt, had reached an age where they needed me emotionally and physically both.....and I personally wanted to be a part of their curriculum and growing up stages......I decided to ...

 Chug Chug Train Choo Choo Choo Clickety Clack Clicket Clack Down the track Coming into the Station  Climb on Aboard Enjoy your ride. Choo Choo Choo Train. Train journey is most memorable. Though very long but exciting and full of fun. The maximum number of times I have traveled till date by Train has been during my MBBS years between Mumbai and Wardha. Two trains I often took are Vidarbha Express....most journey was night journey.  Sewagram Express....mostly Day journey.  Sewagram Express was preferred at end of every University Exams as it left Wardha Station at 10.30 pm. Vidarbha Express was taken when Home Sickness  brought a sudden urge to visit home in Mumbai . Suddenly at end of a Practical period, I would run to my Head of Department for permission to go home.Infirm Hostel Warden.....reach the station to catch the 5 30pm Vidarbha Express.....most times wearing my White Doctors Coat. For quite many years MGIMS, Sewagram was the only medical college in tha...

 Perspectives  Recently, I saw a short film in Marathi"  शंभराव स्थळ " on YouTube.  The 2 protagonists were in 30s.Both met each other through a marriage bureau.  Both - Boy and Girl were perfect for each other- Good salary,Position, Family, Good looking etc. But Same time- Absolute Mismatch- Perspectives.  Perspective towards life was totally different.  One was fully focused to career,calculative,practical. Other loved Life as it flowed. Cut 2..... I was casually chatting with my friend regarding life in marriage after 2 decades. Both of us Good careers,good partners,settled family- PLATEAU. But my Radiologist friend commented " Zindagi Black and White Xray film jaise hai abhi" In most Indian families.....Marriage between 2.....is on basis of Career,Degree,Position.  An invisible deal. Never do the 2 people ever discuss " PERSPECTION" After decades, Pers pective towards life changes and most couples end up as separate individuals wanting differe...

 One day,a Scientist conducted an experiment on his pet Dog. The first week, he dragged his violent barking dog with a long leash and tied the leash to cot.The dog barked the whole day,trying to tug himself off the leash. But he wasn't successful. This went on for a week.  The 2nd week, he dragged the protesting dog again with the leash and acted as if he was tying the leash to the cot.But in actuality, there was no knot. But this time, the dog didn't tug but just kept barking the whole week   The 3rd week, the dog had got so used to being " Tied " to the cot the whole day.....that he himself went to the assigned place and sat there the whole day . Life is also similar. The daily drudgery and monotony in our life sucks us so much into the whirlpool......that the Invisible Leash.....ties us down. We accept Life by succumbing to its challenges. We refuse to disentangle ourselves off that Invisible Leash. Friends, Acceptance of Challenges is good but Succumbing to them ...

 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...
