You said:Consider who is losing ? Who made sacrifices to bring you here? How about your studies? Who approached you for treatment? You have chosen a profession with humanity at its fundamental core. I say: When are you going to start considering residents as humans ? What of the sacrifices we make? We are in […]

.

As I sat there, among the hundreds of residents and students in an institute of “national” importance, all I could contemplate was, “When will it change?” We lost a colleague 48 hours ago while on duty. I may not have known him personally, but I am familiar with many people who are similar to him. […]

Stranger with memories

Strange as it is, you don’t realise who you can count on until the situation arrives, only when it does happen you will see the hands that hold on to you are fewer than you imagined. Strange as it is, your own friends don’t appreciate you having an opinion, for them every word you say […]

Am I back ?

I haven’t written anything in a long time now, and I’m not sure what’s making me do it now. When I say long time , I mean it. It is probably two years or so the last the time I penned down or typed out ‘stuff’ . Well, you see I do not know whether […]

Ear, what do you hear?

There’s chattering all around , people talking about songs and life and love. Not a single conversation does my ear pick up. It rather hears the thoughts that’s flooding my mind. Oh !

The journey.

I might crib and cry when there’s a call to pack my bags for a trip to native. I might’ve even chosen to stay in a dorm just to avoid a travel of 45 minutes. But the travel back home on weekends makes me realise I’m stupid if I deny the fact that somewhere deep […]

The martyr.

While you go to bed tonight, whisper a silent prayer for those forty families that will be awake tonight with tears in their eyes and unbearable pain in the heart, read one of the post by my friend. Palwana attack. Shiver down your spine? No ? Then listen to this. He grew on her soil, […]

The art of giving

The art of giving. . . . So my sister has a cute little poster of quote “ your greatness is not what you have, but what you give.” It has picture of Mickey giving piece of his clothing to pooh. The sheer simplicity of that picture and the enormous amount of meaning the few […]
