The story of a “Happening” life!

In the middle of some conversation that I was having with one of my friends, she said “Why don’t you ask your husband to relocate to Delhi, your life will be much more happening there!” Is it?? I wondered!
Fortunately I have stayed in many cities across the country and I have visited many countries outside India as well, so I have a decent level of understanding as to how different cultures are, and how things work in places other than my own hometown. Visiting any place for a week or two for tourism is one aspect of any city and working or studying there and following a daily routine there is another aspect of it. When do we call a city or our lives “happening”? As per the modern mans dictionary I suppose it’s when you slog like a donkey in your weekdays but your weekends are all about dance and booze! When you cook lunch and dinners on the weekdays at your own house, but your weekends are full of pizzas and other junk! Or maybe when weekdays are all about routine and boring work and buying vegetables, and your weekends are all about hanging out with friends to relieve all the stress you piled up for the whole week! But how about me! I mean my husband being a medico doesn’t even have a WEEKEND! Its work for him every damn day !  Is my life over ?? Will I live everyday like a weekday?? Will I never have a “Happening” life??
Living only on the weekends isn’t actually living a happening life! Living life in a city with more number of pubs and night hangouts doesn’t define what life you are living either, and neither does the fact that for how many days you visit a pizza store or a disc in a month.
Being completely with the person you are with, making memories in which ever circumstances you are, and living life each day and not just on the weekends is what actually makes your life happening! You see you can’t rely on pubs, pizzas, the city you are in or on the fact that weather the DJ plays the right track for the party or not to make your life happening! You have to make things happen for a “happening life!” ;)

Annoyed by children on board? This read is for you

A recent Instagram post by a well-known celebrity writer read “They should give away free birth control pills on all airlines as a public service.” I juggled for a long time to understand what it meant, but couldn’t until I saw the only hashtag the writer had used as a caption beneath, #annoyingchildrenonboard. This post came after almost a week of relaxing and luxurious holiday that he had in Thailand. As most of the posts by this writer are relatable, at times funny and witty, it took me a while to comprehend what he had written. How could he post such a thing ? I thought, and scrolled through the comments section. In the comments I saw outpouring negativity for little children and their parents inside airplanes. “It’s so irritating!” one comment read, “I wanted to sleep peacefully on my three-hour flight, but the child behind just couldn’t shut up. Why do people produce when they can’t teach their children basic etiquette!!!” “So relatable,” read another, “an annoying baby was cryin...

Health beyond COVID-19!

None of us had imagined that we would ever see a crisis in health as huge as the one that we are witnessing currently.   One disease and the entire world has come to a standstill. But then, what is life if we can predict it? Coronavirus, which has shaken everyone with its massive spread, has slowly moved towards community spread in India. Reasons for its relatively slower rise in numbers here can be various. The timely and stringent actions taken by the government, our immunity to survive it due to poor overall hygiene of the country; or the relatively larger number of infections that we already face. However, fear of rising numbers remains, because we are a densely populated land. The losses that COVID has caused are many and grave but then, there is one good thing that it has brought to us as a country. It is our efforts to improve our existing healthcare system. It will be premature to say if these efforts are temporary or permanent but it’s very positive to see how w...

By Assaulting, Blaming and Shaming the doctors, where do you think we are heading?

Two junior doctors were badly attacked by the attendees of a patient, who died from cardiac arrest in a medical college in Bengal on Monday! Unfortunately, I had posted a very similar blog last year in March 2018; but the recent incidence has forced me to post this yet again. This is just one of the many incidences which happen on a very frequent basis with doctors and have been on an unfortunate rise in the past few years. I am ashamed to even type that the doctors are beaten up, shamed, dragged into consumer courts and at times even abused by the patients or their attendees for anything that goes  UNEXPECTED! I have grown up in a family immersed in medical science, and at present, I reside in a campus full of medical graduates. I have lived with doctors all around me since always and now that I am practicing as one myself, I realize the level of responsibility, care, concern, and compromise that the doctors carry on their shoulders. Medicine is not a branch where things ...
