Thoughts from a diary of an Amateur Doctor.


I was merely 5 years old ... when I incepted the notion that I wanted to become a doctor, I was so mesmerized and fascinated by the profession. In childhood it was a profession that everyone wanted to endure and targeted their aim at. With the steps of every class, for some people that dream faded away.. that image of becoming a doctor diminished.. but I clanged onto it. I always endured and visualized that image of me wearing a white coat with a stethoscope around. This particular profession excited me.. it tempted me..As I grew up my wish to become a doctor morphed into the only passion i wanted to pursue. Eventually I realized that the more fascination of this profession seems from outside , triple the amount of effort you need to put to lay down your foundation of becoming one. Nothing.. believe me nothing at all could deter my aim of becoming a doctor.


And today I am in a medical college pursuing my dream. A dream that I nourished since my childhood. Commencing my medical studies I understood one thing that I must develop is PERSEVERANCE. The studies in this field are never ending. The hard work is umpteen. In the end the fact , the charm, the contentment that you’d be called a doctor is just beyond everything. It’s not an easy path. It involves umpteen number of years.. thousands of book to be remembered and years of experience to become a doctor to be looked upon in the society. By far this is the utmost respected profession regarding the kind of hard work and commitment it requires. I know it will take me years to establish myself, it will take me twice the more time to earn good money but still I feel honored to be a part of this field. I feel responsible. And I promise I will abide by the Hippocratic oath I will take at the end of my educational tenure.

HYPOCRISY.

Hypocrisy or falsity is a big disease in the present world. It's pandemic!!! Hence aptly our century is called as " KALYUG " meaning ' The Age of downfall'. According to hindu scriptures it is said that this age of hypocrisy will meet its judgment day which would mark the end of the world. We are always told to act and believe the age old idioms and phrases taught in the childhood and we swear by them. On age old phrase is " HONESTY is the best policy". Seriously is it? I mean why teach something that can't be practiced in the real life. The gospel of life is that you cannot live with honesty and it needs to be adulterated by small portions of hypocrisy,manipulation with a little hint of lie to just add that dashing flavor. I do not sound politically correct  right now but by far this is the reality of our existence. What exactly is hypocrisy?   Hypocrisy  is the state of pretending to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc....

Love

' Define Love' , he said in his husky voice. I felt a knot in my stomach, I had no idea how to describe it. " Love is undefined " I said. It is that neurotic enigmatic emotion that connects two souls with a string which is intangible. " So how do you know that you love me? " I whispered softly " I know it because I am conquered by your essence even when you are this far away " He took a deep breath and silence  followed.

I FEEL ...

Life is such an irony. When we are a child, we wish to grow up. Now that we have grown up, we wish to go back to our childhood days and return that innocence back into our life. Carelessness in those surroundings, that free spirited soul and mind. That Era of innocence is the most magnificent era of our lives. Th e innocence of th ose days we wi ll wan t to treasure for an eternity to last. Free from the worry of what future will lead to.. I am caught up in this swirl of emotions , emotion’s that express my feeling of being numb, that empty space or the void I feel inside and the need for some to fill me up like never before. I ask myself why do I feel that way, answers lie deep within me buried somewhere refusing to come up and show me that faint light that would lead me to contentment. I a m upset, very upset from myself. I realize that I have stopped loving myself. There was this time when I used to love myself and eventually give others that kind of love they deserve...
