Did you ever try?
No one has ever measured,
not even poets,
how much the heart can hold.
- Zelda Fitzgerald (1900 - 1948)

Every relationship is important...
Whenever I sit down for a conversation with my married friends, they try (really try!) telling me the complications of a married life. I agree to some of their points, yes they’re valid.. I do believe in a fact. “Every relationship is important.” When it comes down to partner (wife, in my case), this is more important and becomes a very vital aspect of our lives. I AGREE. Now coming to the topic—Marriage. Does it really change us? Don’t you all agree that we have relationships with various people from childhood? Do those relations change you? No. The reason is we being ourselves with fewer expectations and less influences. We never force ‘anyone’ to act like as we do or think; ‘anyone’ includes our parents, siblings, friends, neighbors, teachers, fellow students, fellow colleagues, etc. Then why in the hell we try changing our partners? Why can’t we accept the way they’re? They are grown-ups; they know their morality (at least to some extent); don’t you feel bad when someone tries to change you, or the way you think, or the way you do things, or the way you see life? I’m sure you will. Then, why wouldn’t they? However, I agree that not all of us are matured enough to ‘think’ and ‘act’ right; but I also put up a fact that no one will change just because it is told. They may, but it doesn’t last longer. The point is they have to realize it themselves (may be repeated telling; but definitely not forcing) or they have to decide themselves to let the attitude go. Only then, they will adopt it for their life. After all life is full of learning, isn’t it? With good relationships, we do take a little closer step to guide them whenever things aren’t right or get guided when we are down; this usually happens on a mutual trust and care. If you call our partners really a ‘partner’, then where did the mutual trust and care go? Shouldn’t it be more?
When you really care, you listen. When you really listen, you understand. When you really understand, you think. When you really think, you act right. So everything goes well. So care your partner the way you did for all your relationships, much more than that. Also remember that this ‘partner’ is special, sharing all the ups and downs of our life. And also ensure that you don’t ruin theirs. Give them the respect for what they are and what they have got for you. Care, listen, understand, think, and then act. Don’t jump on please. If you follow this simple rule for your own life, you will never be in trouble.

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?
