A little star!

          He is a boy. A small boy of about 6yrs. Every morning at 7am he hurriedly reaches to the bus stop just outside my apartment. And you know why? Not to see off his father to work or to play there.....but to do something. And what that something is? He reaches there with a small table and a tool....and no you are wrong....those are not for studing. He vry carefully sets up the table and tool. And then he is ready. So that's his paan shop. Every morning he sells paan there to the bus passengers.

           And when i look at about 9am in the same place...he disappears from there. And i always wondered why he set up the paan shop only for 2hours? I inquired about him....and i was shocked at what i found out. After those 2hours of his small buisness he goes to school.
     
           Though this story may sound simple the reason for me adding this story to my blog is that....this boy really inspires me. If a small boy of 6yrs can divide his time for work and studies why cant i?
            Recently this twitter addiction has got into me and i always waste most of my time there. But reading this story gives me a slight hope that if this boy can do so much...why cant i?
        
P.S: Yes child labour is banned but no one forces this guy to work he does it himself.

Wierd complains!

Here i mention some of the funny n stupid complains of some patients i came across till now....with no offence to them....i guess this is due to illiteracy and nothing else....
 

1. Baideu mur lora tur ekdom khabo nukhuje (what do you expect from a 6yr old?)

2. Baideo mur suwali jonir suli phatise (for your kind info i also have split ends)

3. Baideo muk bhal vitamin saline eta diok (a perfectly fine person who comes by walking from her house with perfect health doesnot need an iv infusion)

4. Baideo mur ga tu bohut komjor lagi thake...enekua eta beji diok ji diar loge loge moi healthy hoi jam. (we are docs not magicians)

5. Baideo i am 4months pregnant...and i want an abortion(we are docs not murderers)

6. Baideo muk 1week agote kukure kamurisil.. Kiba beji lobo lagisil neki (you could have come few more days later aftr developing rabies)

     These are just a few with lots more to come....

Tale of a mother....

It was just a regular day...me attending the morning OPD patients. As the OPD hours was comming to an end i noticed a small girl....pale n tired....oops sorry not a girl she was a woman. Playing beside her were two childern later i came to know those were her daughters. She came to me for her pregnancy check up. She was hardly 20yrs old and she was pregnant and it was reflecting on her health. Severly anemic. She was sitting on the waiting bench even after she got her drugs because she was too tired to walk. When i saw her i tried talking with her. Jolly as a person she was. Funny thing is she didnt know my language and i was not fluent in her's. Still we managed to have a small conversation. While talking with her i came to know that the kids playing beside her were her daughters one 8yrs and another 4yrs old. Seeing her age its was almost difficult for me to gulp down the info she gave just now...but then yet again it came as a bolt when she said she has one more daughter she was at home and she was the eldest.
      I was both sad and angry. I asked her that after having 3children why was she pregnant again? She just smiled and said that the other 3children are girls so this time they hope for a boy. Then i asked what if this fourth child is a girl again? She again just smiled. Felt so pity for this lady.
       This is what happens in my India.
