BEING F.R.I.E.N.D.S!!!!

I was half in my sleep when I looked at my phone just to check the time, and instead, I found a long list of messages which took me by a sweet surprise, because I realized, that it was the friendships day morning! I remember the same day roughly three years back when I was not such a great advocator of the necessity for such days to exist…But this morning I surely realized the necessity, because looking at the gesture by so many people in my contact list I almost forgot the other million things in my mind which I had slept with, and which had been bothering me for a few days now…
Being friends I guess is the only relation we truly choose ourselves, and where we can be truly ourselves as well! Friends are no obligations and not bound by threads of responsibility either. Friends are those all time buffers in our lives which keep us strong enough to face all the big and small rough patches we go through, and keep us happy enough in our good times when they show up on all the occasions to celebrate! Cheers to such a selfless and lovely bond which makes us forget the worries at work, problems at home and fights with our spouses!


If they are angry then apologize and if they are out of touch then call them yourself, but do keep your friends well and don’t let them go because this one relationship is surely priceless! Here is wishing anyone who is reading this a very happy friendships day! And to my amazing friends…Big thanks for existing!

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 ...
