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.

Unconditional Love

A self-less love is an unconditional love. The kind of love our parents shower on us, without any expectations, without any conditions, inhibitions, possessiveness, boundaries. It is the kind of love that flows like energy, an aura that constantly revolves around us. Love is not merely doing things which are expected out of you from the society. It is that stepping stone that lets an individual take a higher road. It lets you love a person without any sort of expectation, looking beyond the imperfections and just loving. As simple as it sounds, it is a difficult thing to master. I think love is a form of meditation, Perhaps that is why it seems like a daunting task to love a person.  We often complain about the people we love, but are we perfect enough to find the flaws in other's? Do we ever self introspect before condemning a person? The answer is NO. We relate people to materialistic things, Maybe that is why it becomes harder to connect to another person and love unco...
