Juxtaposing: an Engee and a Medico!!!


Always it keeps striking me…what if I had become an engineer instead of a doctor??? There was a time I was almost sure about going for engineering in Computer Science…had always fancied carrying a folder on my shoulder and a drawing board in hand… But I swapped back to Medical…though given a chance still, I would love taking it as a course too…after MBBS ofcourse…

Imagining how it would be to attend an engineering college…I have almost all my best buddies doing it…even my cousins…not a single doctor in my family…have been hearing a lot from them about their institution and life…I just put myself sometimes into their shoes and let me wander in their campus…

We have these lectures to attend the whole day…at stretch sometimes…haven’t heard of an engineer doing so till date…perhaps that would be a relief…a heavenly feel…getting up late and just going for the practical classes…aha…awesome feeling…and after the practical sitting somewhere in the campus and chit-chatting rest of the time…

Practical classes…we have these ward postings as the practical sessions…learning different skills, asking for the symptoms, eliciting signs and knowing how to treat them is our aim…engees…well the major difference in both is that we play with live things and they with the inanimate objects…playing with circuits or may be with the computers…atleast then there won’t be that concern for the life of other human…

As about fancying about the folder and drawing board…I actually like it…that gave me a particular sense of going to the college…we don’t have them in medical colleges…and then the fashion statements the students in an engineering institute maintain is something to look upto…envy them all…we have to keep a low note on this prospect…

3rd year campus interviews and selections…getting great packages and after the degree comes in their hands…earning…just WOW!!! If their could’ve been something like this for medicos too…4 years of studying giving a big salary of 12 lakhs per annum…if do post graduation…2years more and this sum gets amplified 3-4 times…who won’t like that…

Yet I think I made a right decision…the feeling of treating a patient to health back…taking the blessing of all souls whom we heal…and moreover the prefix added to the name “Dr.” compensates it all for me…this prefix in first position had lured me to get in here…so what we earn a bit later…so what we have to take a lot efforts…but they are worth it I guess…

Engineering is too good in its own contemplation (I would like to go for it still…after MBBS but)…but becoming a doctor…operating or may be just medicating a person in pain to get his smile back is a heavenly feeling in its own accord…

KUDOS!!

    What ever u wrote is your perception.... But its not easy to understand the otherside of the coin, u really need to experience before putting statements.
    None of the way is easy to earn white money that to overnite as u described above,

To the Dreams, To the Eternity, To the HIMALAYAS!!

The World is full of adventure and fun. Every new turn we take get ahead as a new challenge. And yes I was talking about life; though even the rikshawallas may come up that way. As the famous saying goes, “Life’s once, enjoy while you can” . So make sure we have our own share of adventure. The message beeped “ What is your crazy dream?” Giving thought for a while, I responded “To go out unperturbed, no bothering, no works and no thoughts on the roads to the Himalayas” “That wasn’t crazy till you mentioned the Himalayas. If you remember you stay in the centre of India and without being disturbed how can like go off for a long long time.” “Wish I could just go.” “In your dreams…” “Yeah! In my dreams…” was the last I could write at 2 am. The next morning, the alarm kept ticking and my eyes felt heavy to be opened. But then there is life, there’s work. I got into the showers and then into the closet and then out in the cab, rushing away to the hospital. Today

Smittened by LOVE!! :)

Usually surrounded by individuals of all kinds… There is this one kind in them that’s special… As they say ‘Someone, somewhere is made for you.’… That special category… I don’t know how many of us have experienced it; The LOVE, is indeed a special feeling… Unknowingly, unseeingly he came into life… equations matched and things sparkled… At the start it was nothing but friendship … Day by day facts remolded… Shorts “hellos” turned into Long talks… every bit of communication enclosed a meaning… simple meanings swiveled to become essence for life… Staying away from the chats became difficult… Meeting him became ‘most important’ in the to-do list… May be that’s just coz I connect to him… or may be that’s because I  like him… but the most beautiful may be is coz I am driven towards him for the special fondness I have for him… I currently stay in this dwindled phase of life where I am unable to reply any ‘WH’ question related… All I know is that there is some force which is impelling the

Love Thy Parents!!!

Plagiarized from a friend’s status on Facebook…”Certain things are best when choreographed naturally”…so true n so genuine…and the best example for this…relation with parents… The day I was born, by default I got my parents…there was no option kept by the Almighty…as in choose between the people…but I guess He knows better who can be comfortable n taken care of by whom…and so this beautiful alliance is a gift to us at birth I guess… MOM n DAD…two best humans on this earth…most lovable n most adorable…every kid has a special place in their heart for these Angels of Solace…and I am no exception to this Golden Rule… They are the inspiration…the way they manage the home and the workplace both together and in sync is something to be looked upon at… They are the motivators…it’s for their sheer support n love that both of us…me n my Bro have been able to be on the road to our dreams… They are the instillers…putting up all good values into us…they have made us able to rise up in lif
