The Death Pain

Save Water

Save Water

- the hub of life

Few suggestions I have:

1. Tap the tap. 

2. Wash your car with a bucket, not with a hose.

3. Have a quick shower, instead of a bath.

4. Use a low flow tap.

5. Reuse your kitchen water and bathroom water for your garden.

The speed( Ω )breaker and the COME BACK

I always hate medicines and going to clinic for any consultation. I am good enough to keep myself fit, hale and healthy. And I was too fast in my life (that’s what my friends say about me) – my brain didn’t accept that – it instead speeded up. Yes, my life was going at a pace it is supposed to go. And here it is: there was a speed breaker in my life (will it come again?) and that was my accident. This happened during the second year of my career. I usually commute to office by bike.

One fine day, after I reached office, I gave my bike to my brother for his use that day. So, after my work, one of my friend gave a lift till the nearest bus terminus, where I got a bus to a common place. That’s where I will get a direct bus to my place. I got down and started walking towards the bus stop. To describe about the place, it’s always crowded by vehicles and people. It’s a row of shopping streets – a main area in the city (T.Nagar in Chennai). And I saw my bus and started walking towards it. Some more buses were standing with engines on. There were seats available in my bus, I could see it. Feeling happy, I just walked little faster (but didn’t run – I do know running in a dense area would not be advisable.) thinking not to waste time waiting for the next bus. Now I am near my bus. There was another one standing perpendicular to my bus, but it was not close, they both had a gap of 10ft. I am near the door of my bus. One elderly person was struggling to get in. I helped him and I got the grip of the handle and took my first step to get into the bus. The bus that was perpendicular started coming reverse – I didn’t notice this and all of a sudden – it happened. I am falling down. My mobile, shoes were flying off from me. Now, I am under my bus. My bus started moving. People started shouting and luckily the driver could hear it, he immediately stopped (Thank God). With my left arm broken, I can feel it like a cloth, I can’t lift it. It’s paining. I know there was an accident. Luckily I was conscious, I could shout for help. People started getting into a circle around me eager to know what had happened.

There came a great human of my age, who had the guts to pull me out from the place where I was and he called a vehicle (an auto) – he lifted me along with another small guy (he must be some 10 years old) and they took me to a nearby clinic (I am going to a clinic after a long time, should be after 3/4 years) I was given a wheel chair, I was holding my left arm with my right hand. The person who took me to the hospital was beside me, he is talking to me, I could sense that. I told him to call my friend (the same who dropped me a short while ago) I spoke to him, couldn’t speak much, that guy took over the phone and explained the situation. My friend arrived and he was trying to get in touch with my other friends. He called everyone and all of them came immediately.

I could see doctor telling that I need a POP around my hand. I don’t want to put that in my left arm (with which I write)… no other choice I was treated with that. I was feeling hungry, had a juice. Suddenly I realized that there is something wrong with my stomach – an immense pain which I couldn’t manage. Tears started flowing down my eyes. I told my friends, there is something wrong in the abdomen part. My x-rays came by that time and it was both bone fracture at my left arm and a minor fracture at pelvis bone. There was some wound in my left knee (it was carved kind) – I am wondering how it could’ve happened (my pant was without any damage). Some doctor came to investigate on my stomach pain. It’s really paining. I can feel my death. Doctors told that there could be blood leakage in the abdomen part and I am dying. Friends have been told by the doctors to take me to a big hospital – I suggested a name to them. I was in the ambulance with drips. Rushed to the other hospital…

When the ambulance reached the other hospital, the hospital authorities didn’t allow us inside the hospital thinking the injury might be because of a political clash/drunk drive. Or they could have thought about the financial potential. My brother was there and he said the hospital people that I have a mediclaim insurance card with which we can reimburse the expenses; they admitted me, rushed to the operation theatre for my fatal operation. I can remember exactly what the surgeon (he knew the urgency of operation) to my brother, “the condition is very worse, he needs to be operated for his abdomen first as QUICK as possible, it can't be operated with endoscopy, but only with cleavage since we are not sure how big the wound inside is” My brother understood the situation and got it moved to the other level. Some hospital guys were around me and they were removing my dresses and making me ready for the operation. I was in slight unconsciousness because of some injection that I had been given. Then they took me to the operation theatre, on the way, I could see my friends standing with tears in their eyes and an unsaid worry in their heart; this is what I would like to talk about. You feel special when you are blessed with so many friends and you will feel all the more special when you feel all of them in you. That’s how I felt when I was on the way to operation theatre. Finally I reached the operation theatre, I was given global anesthesia. And it was not working. They increased the anesthesia level. I could speak some words with the doctor explaining him the accident. He kept talking to me, I stopped talking. I was asleep because of the GA. I woke up after 17 hours and I was in cold ICU. It was really cold. I felt my whole body as a cloth. Cutting the whole story short, I would like to thank the hospital staffs (duty nurses, helpers, house keeping department) – everybody have the humanity in blood. That is more important for a patient. I realized this during my stay in the hospital. Finally I recovered after a fortnight of bed rest in spite of doctor telling about 3 months of complete rest. I don’t want to be idle and wanted to come back to routine as soon as possible. And I was back as I expected. THE COME BACK!

Personal hygiene

This time – It’s Swine Flu (am in Pune, Maharashtra) and people really started thinking about their health & nutrition. We do notice things only when they get worse. We do notice our fitness only when we get sick. Tell me frankly, when do we think about our fitness? Every morning we get up/every day/every week… hardly? We do have all the facilities to take good care of our health. We have food to eat, we have places to rest, and we have everything. Think of those who don’t have any proper food to eat, proper place to rest… that’s a different topic altogether. Live like them one day and only then we will realize the importance of all things we are blessed with. Yes, we do realize things only when we miss them. Health is something that is within our control. I can really understand if it is natural calamity or disaster, in which we have less/no control. Being the cause for your sickness, you do regret that later. Why shouldn’t you take care and take precaution? Personal hygiene and self awareness is what I wanted to talk about here. If you are good with respect to personal hygiene, you don’t have to worry about life threats due to all these outbreaks. Use all the resources (including your brain) to boost your immune system. Boost your WBCs. Boost yourself.

Industries and companies are increasing; places are becoming more cosmopolitan; automobiles increase at it's own pace; deforestation; scarcity of water, energy… so many reasons for environmental change. These needs to be addressed, but till then, what’s our take on this? GET USED TO IT. That’s the best way. Same time, be the change you want to see. YES, do something that can change things from HOW THEY'RE NOW to HOW THEY SHOULD BE. You can’t change everything in one day, but keep trying. You will not be suffering due to sudden change in climate, change of place, change of food, etc.

I do agree, that any parasite/viral/bacterial attack (if it is new for our human body to face) is beyond control at any present time, but keeping a good control over personal hygiene will definitely reduce the chances of becoming a victim. Do you agree my view here?

To all my Friends...

Someday or the other,
everyone will feel how blessed they're;
how friends have changed their life;
and I am sure they will smile along with those thoughts :)
That's the way I feel now when I think YOU as my friend.
Happy Friendship Day!

We exchanged a small smile and that's where our friendship started sailing... Hope to go further long miles before i SLEEP. You gave me a hug when I needed... I have had you at times of sorrows more than the times of my joys. That shows the ideal case.

So many unsaid words, unexpressed thoughts... both are well understood by a friend. Still lot more to go...I cherish YOUR friendship with me...LONG LIVE our friendship.

Where would I be...
if I didn't had you as my friend???

புது சட்டை

சட்டையில் கொசு
அடிக்க மனமில்லை
... வெள்ளை சட்டை!

விசுவாசம்

கையில் ஆட்டுக்குட்டி
பரிவோடு ஏசுநாதர்
... கசாப்பு கடை காலெண்டரில்!

Things that you don't see

Now I feel the mositure of that day's rain...near my eyes...
as tears...
It is not just tears, which you can see...
but...
the blood of my heart, which you can't see or even feel

I still feel the moisture of that day's rain...near my eyes...

தடம்

நான் கடந்த தடங்களை
திரும்பி பார்கையில்
பெருமை படுகிறேன்...
ஏற்ற இறக்கங்கள்...
சுக துக்கங்கள்...
நினைவினில் இன்னும் இனிமையாக இருக்கும் என் தோழமைகள்
நிழல்கள் மறைந்தாலும் நினைவுகள் மறப்பதில்லை
ஏனோ இதையெல்லாம் நினைக்கையில்
அழகாய் தெரிகிறது
என் வாழ்க்கை!

துக்கம்

கடிகாரம் பார்த்து
அவசரமாய் எழுந்து
அரக்க பறக்க குளித்து
உடை உடுத்தி
எதிர் கடையில்
சர்க்கரை அதிகமாய் என்று கேட்டு வாங்கி
தேநீர் அருந்துகையில்
கோப்பையில் தெரிகிறது
அம்மாவின் முகம்!
இயந்திர தனமான அலுவல்களை முடித்து விட்டு
திரும்புகையில்
வந்து விட்டான் நம் தோழன்
என மெத்தையும் என் அறையும்
அதனதன் துக்கத்தை தொலைக்க
நான் துக்கம் அடைகிறேன்
நாளை காலையாவது என் அம்மாவின் இனிய குரலில் எழ மாட்டோமா என்று!

இதய சிதறல்

கண் மூடி
நெஞ்சம் திறந்து
அழும் போது
சிதறிய
சிந்தனைகளை...
அடுக்கி பார்கையில்
ஏளனமாய் சிரிக்கிறது
என் கனவுகள் !

உணர்வு

விழுங்கிய மீன்

தொண்டையில் குத்தும்போது

உணர்கிறேன்

தூண்டிலின் ரணம்!

ONLY ONE

Mom... She is the only one who knows how to love others and CAN NEVER give up that habit.

Most of the other beautiful things in life doesn't come in ONE, they always come in multiples...friendship, stars, rain, grandparents, career, dream, etc etc... Mother is the only beautiful thing that comes in ONE.

While You Sleep, I...

While you sleep...
I think,
I forget,
I leave behind my worries,
I leave behind my mistakes,
I leave behind my broken heart,
I leave behind everything.

I close my eyes...
...to feel

I close my eyes...
...to heal...

Sense of Freedom

There is a sense of freedom in living alone!
sometimes, I sleep late...
sometimes, I wake up late...
sometimes, I roam around...
sometimes, I think of going beyonD...
sometimes, I listen to my silence...
sometimes, I read starving...
sometimes, I feel life...
and then sometimes, I just can't sleep thinking of my loneliness...

Life isn't fair to anyone. Accept it. Keep going!

I feel dying...

I feel lonely...
when u r not there around
I feel lonely...
when ur words are not there around
I feel lonely...
when I don't get to hear from you
I feel lonely...
when I am thinking silently
I feel lonely...
when I listen to my heart
I feel lonely...
when I miss you

I feel dying...
when I don't find you near me on my ups and especially on my downs...

Song of My Heart

My heart is broken
not even mendable pieces are left
simply particles of dust
that blew away
that blew far, far, away
along with the last drop of my trust.
Stabbing thorns hurt so badly
I could have screamed
could have cussed
But I didn't
I refused
I just let them hurt and build
and hurt more and more
till I was just confused
more than I could imagine
Its based on only one thought
I have no one
no one
no one will ever truly care
then...
a voice softly says...
with the sound of injury
"Don't you remember you still have me?"

With the sense of my soul, I write this...
deep within the heart, I have a pain...
...unexpressed, unknown...
tears rolling down my cheeks with a smile on my lips...
tears shed by eyes are known...
tears shed by heart???
who will listen to my silence?
Hid your feelings
bear the pain of life and
feel the burning sensation of consciousness loss
- that's what I feel now!
hey heart,
come closer,
forget the past,
dissolve yourself in the bitter truth...
I am expecting my life to come to me!
I open my arms in the air...
Search the poem of my life,
if not,
recover my dreams and me...
Don't ask me about the pain,
I, Myself don't know that...

Whose life is it?

Hey human,

Whose life is getting shorter?

Mine or yours???

- Cigarette

படித்ததில் பிடித்தது

தன் இறுதி ஊர்வலத்திற்கு...
யார் யார் வந்திருக்கிறார்கள் என்று பார்க்க
கண் திறந்தான்...
வாழ்ந்ததற்கு வருந்தி...
மீண்டும் கண்களை மூடி கொண்டான்.

அம்மாவின் அன்பு

எனக்காக முந்தானையில்
முடிந்து வைத்த
ஒவ்வொரு ஒரு ரூபாயிலும்
ஒளிந்துள்ளது அம்மாவின் அன்பு!

நம்பிக்கை

பிரயாணத்தில் ஒரு பெண்... கையில் குழந்தை...
நிற்க இடம் இல்லை...
குழந்தையை வாங்கி மடியில் அமர்த்தி கொண்டேன்...
அப்பெண் இறங்குமிடம்...
இறங்கினாள்...
நன்றி உணர்வுடம் ஒரு பார்வை...
குழந்தையின் வெள்ளி கொலுசை தடவி கொண்டே!

முத்தம்

என்னருகில் என்னவள்
விரல் பிடித்து...
மெல்ல நெருங்கி...
சுவாச காற்று பட...
முத்தமிட முயன்றேன்...
எட்டி உடைத்தார் அப்பா - என்ன கனவென்று!!!

My Environment, My Home

I believe in Environmentalism, of course I want Green to be always GREEN and GREENER.

So many places to see, so many places to wander, so many places to enjoy, how far it may be. It is we who turn ON the environment, and many a times, turn it OFF. Yeah we do it often (un)intentionally. Keep a fridge open for some time without purpose, and there you pollute the environment. Spit in all the places you walk, throw wastes wherever you go, adulterate the products you sell, take your vehicle for a distance that you can cover in walking, etc – you turn the environment OFF. Exponentially increasing environmental issues – that’s what I am worried about. Let’s move towards a greener world together. Living close to Nature is a simple life. Let’s give it a try.

I am introducing Greenpeace, an international NGO that is devoted to nonviolent confrontation as a means of bearing witness to environmental wrongs and bringing issues into the public realm for debate and, solutions as well.

Today is World Environment Day!

Enjoy Nature, Preserve Environment, Enjoy Life
