Boy, You Can Kiss Her Now!

Vineet was staring at his computer screen, absorbing the fact that his bank account was credited with his first salary in his first job. The screen in front of him showed his available balance Rs 10000 against salary. It was huge money for him, who had just completed his college... more...

When Heart Stops
Still there was no pulse! ‘What else I have to do to make the patient’s heart beat again?’ Ramesh asked himself desperately and racked his brain, in the hope he had forgotten some important step or activity he had been taught in his medical college for saving a heart attack patient.

Thinking
"It is impossible even to think without a mental picture" Aristotle said. Doesn't that mean that when we get pre-digested thought as on TV (which provides us little opportunity to think) we slowly lose the capacity to form mental images on our own. Someone else is doing our work for us.  more...

Hope for anand hi anand
Hope   Trust   Faith   Belief These are mere words for some But for some they are life They fill their days with enthusiasm They fill their nights with dreams of better tomorrow They make their journey soothing  Life worthwhile….   “Pardesi pardesi jaana nahin…” hearing this song my attention moved towards little Anand. True to his name he sure filled the life of others around him with anand! He was a very active child who wanted to be the winner always. Whenever I would ask kids to sing songs, he would be the first one to break into a song and his fav being pardesi pardesi ... Confident, intelligent and a very bright kid, he would get annoyed whenever I would pay more attention to other kids than him. He would fight with rest all kids, get irritated, make faces, yet looked so lovable!  He lost his legs in an accident, a very tragic one! He used to live in slum near railway station. Part time rag picker part time beggar, bad company led him into drugs at the tender age of 6! One day in a highly intoxicated state he came in front of train. Although doctors saved him but they couldn’t save his legs. He was brought in children’s home and there he continues to amaze everyone with his ever effusing enthusiasm and energy. He told his story to me with no regret. No sadness, no tears, he stated everything as a matter of fact. The thing that transcends his pain, his loneliness and his worries is HOPE . He carries in his heart a HOPE for a bright future. A HOPE that everything would be fine A HOPE that he would get new legs A HOPE that he would be able to run again A HOPE that he won’t have to go back picking rags again A HOPE that he would go to school and become a bada adami one day   He is the epitome of optimism and buoyancy, for me and many others who crib about their otherwise perfect lives…  more...
