War! (But with whom?)

​He called at last,

Much awaited that call for me.

His words struggled 

Through all the disturbance

Yet reaching out to me,

Ever so clear, ever so soothing,

No matter the transmission,

The connection was forever strong.

Complaining about his absence,

Was all I did, 

And he, my soldier, listening

Ever so patient, didn’t realise

As didn’t I, 

The justice of patience,

Only to those who had time.

Complaining about our unborn baby,

Was all I did,

And he, my soldier, trying

Ever so meticulous, describing 

The beauty of those baby blue eyes.

And the second next,

A deafening sound roaring in my ears.

What followed was Silence.

Silence, that was deafening too.

Silence of his voice.

Running to my balcony,

I tried to reconnect,

Only to realise,

I was disconnected, Forever.


I wrote this poem sometime back when I felt war we read about might be something that we may experience! 

When countries are at war, do we really feel the hatred between us? No.

We just feel sorry! Sorry that our past could not teach us any values, that our past miseries were futile in making us realise the importance of a normal life.

What you have is enough!

So yesterday I ended up talking to my sister who’s by the way this hot shot UPSC aspirant! I feel their species is only different. The way they think, the way they talk, the awareness in them! So my sister was narrating the story of Arjuna and Krishna when Krishna was injured and Arjuna was carrying him through.. they encountered the Bheel people who tried attacking them but here everyone was relaxed. After all they had Arjuna! Unfortunately Arjuna lost to the Bheel people! It was the same Arjuna, same weapons, same actions of the enemy. Only difference was the time, and presence of Lord Krishna. so this taught me whatever endeavours we put in life will be same, our perseverance will be same.. and when it’s our time and when everything is aligned, there will be magic and when it’s not meant to be it won’t be so no point breaking our head 🥲!

T for therapy or taboo

So I am an anaesthesiologist by profession and today I had this patient on my table posted for a minor surgical procedure… he seemed anxious which was a bit more than normally what we experience. After conversing with him, at a point of time I felt he’s having a panic attack but his heart rate and blood pressure said against. Perfectly normal. Why I felt this was, he was having a lot of trouble articulating his words! Somehow we induced him to anaesthesia and were told by the surgeon that our patient was a super intelligent guy, graduated from one of the top institutes and was working for a fine 1 cr p.a but has quit for past one year. One thing I didn’t tell you was that throughout induction he was worried about his job and that the people around will know that he has had a surgery which obviously was discomforting for him but to an extent which was incomprehensible to me. Also later his parents told us that he refused to go to therapy. My question is, has workplace environment become...
