My favorite lyrics...

My favorite lyrics from the song skyscraper by Demi Lovato....

Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending, like we never had a
chance.
Do you have to make me feel like, there's nothing
left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I
bleed
All my windows, still are broken, but I'm standing
on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Go run run run I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear yeah
Go run run run yeah it's a long way down
But I'm closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Ohh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper...

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....

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

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)

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.

My little vacation

Was sitting in the verandah suddenly i looked into the watch and realized "I am late"... I have my flight at 9am and its already 8...I got to hurry...Like a hurricane i packed my bags...making sure i dont leave out my favorate dresses and all other important things. Had my bath and now i am ready. Now the next prblm....... i need an autorickshaw to reach the airport. Hurriedly i lock my house and run towards the auto stand. Hopefully there was one auto standing. I run towards it and asked the driver to drive as fast as  he could. Reached the airport...only 5min for the flight to take off. Thankfully i get my boarding pass in time and reach my seat. Ahhhhh now i am relieved. Drank a glass of water and thinking what i will do when i reach there. Finally we reach my dream destination "switzerland". Snow flakes falling....the cold climate made me shiver.....Suddenly i heared a loud noise....someone shouting.....i tried to listen more carefully...the sound was comming nearer. And finally i could feel a hand on my shoulder.....
  

        It was my mom...shouting at me...to come inside and help her in the kitchen.

P.S: If mom wouldnot have come surely....aaji to switzerland ghum ke hi aate!

Being a doctor....

Is being a doctor crime now a
days? Slightest of a mistake and
there you go….abuses by everyone.
          Everyday thousands
of patients are being treated no
one says a word….but let there be
one small mistake and its almost
like his life is in danger. I am not
saying that doctors should make
mistakes …but i just want to bring
to light one thing….that we doctors
always give our best to do what we
can for a patient but even after
that if a patient fails to improve is
it our fault? After all we are also
human beings…only God has the
power to give someone life or
death.
        Its really sad to hear that
doctors are being attacked by
public for d slightest of the
reasons. I mean first investigate is
the doctor wrong…has he
committed an act of negligence
after that you decide how you will
handle this. If the doctor has not
committed any negligence an still
he is being attacked by mobs its
really sad. And thats whats
happening most of the time.
          There are incidents of a
doctor's hands being amputated by
the public since he could not save
a lady who just delivered a baby. I
wad shocked when i heard this.
What happened was this she gave
birth in her own house….they didnt bother to take her to the hospital…but when they noticed that she was bleeding heavily(in medical terms a case of post partum haemorrhage) and her condition was detoriating
then they decided to take her to
the hospital…and before they
reached the hospital she already
died. Now tell me is it the doctor’s
fault? Why was the doctor
punished for this?
          I would like to state another
major problem that occurs mostly
here in India. Superstition…… there are people who dosent go to the doctor but goes to quacks…and God knws what treatment they give to the patients….the patients
condition inproves for a while…so
the patient happy…D problem
arises after few days when the
disease flares up even more… twice 1or thrice more intensity than before. Again they will go to the quack and the vicious cycle
continues for a while….untill the
disease reaches its extreme. Then
they will come to the doctor. On
asking at first they will deny taking
herbal medicine…and since the
disease is already out of control
now so doctors are not able to
save the patient now… Then the
patient dies….and in the eyes of the public now the doctor is the
reason behind the death….the
lamest excuse i have heard till now is “the patient died after the
doctor gave him intravenous
saline”…. There are plenty of cases
like this and the list is endless.
           My message to you is please think once before attacking your doctor. He is the one trying to save your life…how can you beat him up?
