My Life

It was a fine Friday morning and the door bell ringing, i tried to wake up, but something prevented me from getting up. I slept again without much concern. I think almost two hours passed and someone was banging my door, I tried to get up, but I was again sent back. A current of pain spread through my body. This time I tried to figure what is preventing me from going to office. It is not Monday that I want to keep my weekend going. Soon I figured out that it was my leg which was preventing me from getting up. With some twists and experimentation i found I couldn’t bend my right knee !!

Thinking of usual muscle pull or something like that, i went late to the office and by afternoon it was clear that it is nothing normal. Situation had not improved with pain-relieving sprays and crepe bandage. I decided to visit a nearby doctor for treatment. I entered the clinic limping with a weary look and pain traveling through out the body. First question: Hello, How are you ?? I seriously had no answer to such a question, actually I was amused why did he ask such a question. If I was all well, why the hell should I visit him. I just tried to smile from tearful face for a long time. Then the doctor said, so “things are not well, right ?”. As per his advice I went to the hospital next day for further examination. This itself was a bad experience in itself. After the inconclusive X-Ray scans I was recommended admission and to have a MRI Scan. With almost 30 hours after the MRI, no doctor came and neither the MRI report. After getting impatient, I complained the nurses for pathetic treatment. They said “Why didn’t I tell before that I want to see a doctor ?”. I was taken back, if I was not to see the doctor then why I was in a hospital. After exchanging harsh words with them, I had a talk with the doctor on phone. He promised to pay a visit to me next day. After some diagnosis he asked me, “Now How many times should a doctor should see me ?” I was, “I hope I never have to see a doctor again in my life, but If I am in a hospital, i would like to be treated rather than lying untreated/unnoticed”.

A week passed in the hospital, my knee was getting better. But the doctors were still not sure what had triggered all this. Since medicines and other treatments were working, they didn’t care to find the cause. They suspected the MRI report and called it weired. Now I am almost well, but still clueless what I was suffering from. With each day in the hospital, I was recovering physically but I was going down mentally. I was frustrated to a new low. Really to be sick is very SICK !!

To end the sorrow post on a humorous way, here is  a sick joke

A doctor of psychology was doing his normal morning rounds when he entered a patient’s room. He found Patient 1 sitting on the floor, pretending to saw a piece of wood in half.
Patient 2 was hanging from the ceiling, by his feet.
The doctor asked patient number 1 what he was doing. The patient replied, “Can’t you see I’m sawing this piece of wood in half?” The doctor inquired of Patient 1 what Patient 2 was doing. Patient 1 replied, “Oh. He’s my friend, but he’s a little crazy. He thinks he’s a light bulb.” The doctor looks up and notices Patient 2’s face is going all red.
The doctor asks Patient 1, “If he’s your friend, you should get him down from there before he hurts himself”
Patient 1 replies, “What? And work in the dark?”

News channels are really blaring with breaking news all the day around and there is a movie coming up with the name “It’s Breaking News“. Below is a funny excerpt from such a news channel covering “No News“

The NDTV ace anchorman Pranoy Roy began “We take you to Nair who is waiting to give on-the –spot coverage of the proceedings at CWC head quarters. Over to you Nair.”
“Thank you Pranoy. I’m standing outside the main gate of the Congress head quarters. It is quiet here. Four DTC buses passed northward in the last half an hour and two private cars passed southward. The traffic outside is proceeding smoothly without giving a clue to the outcome of the crucial CWC meeting on Indo-US Nuclear deal. Delhi is agog with rumors that nothing is likely to come out of the meeting. A senior congressman who talked on the condition of anonymity said he had no comments to offer. But another party spokesperson said that he would neither confirm nor deny that nothing is likely to come out of the meeting. There is a tremendous excitement because nothing is happening.”
“Thank you Nair. We shall revert to you soon. Let’s go over to Sheila who is waiting outside the CPM head quarters. Sheila, what have you there?”

“Good morning Pranoy. The situation is very fluid and nobody wants to talk about it. Jyoti Basu was first to arrive, followed by Buddhadeva, Sitaram Yetchury, Bardhan and Karat. The sequence of the arrival, some say, carries a great significance though the party spokesman tried to down play it. There was a flutter when the news broke out that there was no water on the tap at the premises. The CNN and BBC reporters rushed to interview the tea-boy but he was closeted in an all-important emergency meeting with the kitchen staff. So Pranoy, the moment I get a confirmation that nothing is likely to happen I shall get back to you.”
“That’s good work Sheila. Let’s go over to Deepika who is outside the Sonia’s residence. Can you hear me Deepika?’
“Yes Pranoy, I can.”
“Can you confirm that nothing is happening at Sonia’s residence?”
“Well, Pranoy, Sonia’s residence has been a bee-hive of activity since morning. The Prime Minister visited the place at 8’oclock in the morning. Singhvi has been in and out several times. Mani Shankar Iyer is in right now. The phone rang thrice in the past 30 minutes and it is not known who spoke to whom. Sonia’s car is parked in the compound but the driver is not available for comments. But it is reliably learnt that he had a worried look on his face when he drove the vehicle into the parking area. Sources close to driver say that he will be here soon unless he IS cornered by the BBC reporter for a quick fire interview at the traffic signal near Connaught Place. No further developments have taken place. Any questions, Pranoy?”
“No Deepika. Keep up the good job. To round up, this is Pranoy bidding you good bye with news, that the situation on the nuke-deal front continues to remain fluid. Join us on a further update at 11 o’clock tonight.”

And finally a video on No News which any ways NDTV was following

Or fir kya hua…

JO JEET-TA HI REHTA HAI WO SIKANDER,

I was not amazed when I read Shoaib Akhtar hit Asif during a training session prior to T20 WC, as Akhtar and controversies go hand-in-hand. He plays the role Salman Khan/Sanjay Dutt plays in Bollywood. But what was interesting was he hit his own team mates. So I was reminded of a story which i heard some time back. It highlights all of Game Spirit, Competition and Humanity.

It was a sports stadium. Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in the running event. * Ready! * Steady! * Bang !!!

With the sound of Toy pistol , all eight girls started running .
Hardly have they covered ten to fifteen steps , one of the smaller girl s slipped and fell down , due to bruises and pain she started crying . When other seven girls heard this sound , stopped running, stood for a while and turned back , they all ran back to the place where the girl fell down.One among them bent, picked and kissed the girl gently and enquired ‘ Now pain must have reduced’ . All seven girls lifted the fallen girl , pacified her, two of them held the girl firmly and they all seven joined hands together and walked together and reached the winning post.Officials were shocked. Clapping of thousands of spectators filled the stadium. Many eyes were filled with tears and perhaps it had reached the GOD !!

All these special girls had come to participate in this event and they are spastic children.
Yes, they were mentally retarded Challenged .What did they teach this world?
Teamwork?
Humanity?
Equality among all?????
We can’t do this ever because we have brains!!!!!!!!!

Sad story taken from some site.

Prakash was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but his parents coughed up enough to make him the most comfortable. His father(Ramesh) worked in a government organisation and being an honest officer, it was quite hard to make up for the expenses. Another member in the family did mean, more stomachs to feed, but still one pair of hands to work. He and his wife were bit too excited about their child. They had dreams ranging from sending him to best school in this small city to making him a doctor. Prakash was a normal child, nothing like a prodigy. His dad was always there to show all his love and affection to him. As usual he was trying to teach his son some bits of English, so that he may earn a seat in DPS for his pre-nursery. He was teaching him the poem “Twinkle twinkle little star”.

Prakash : “What is a star?”
Ramesh: “Beta, what you see up, are stars.”
Prakash(excitedly): “Ohh, that yellow one ?”.
Ramesh: No No, The one you see in night.
Prakash: Ahh, That white round thing ?
Ramesh: No No, Beta, the one you see lots of them in the sky in night.
Prakash: I didnt get it. Show me the stars now….
Ramesh: Its just the day and you cant see them right now.
Prakash: Why cant we see the stars in day.
Ramesh(quite confused): Because they sleep in day.
Prakash: But how can we see them in night, when its all dark out there ?
Ramesh(feeling like pulling his hair, but still not letting his emotions out): Hmm, beta stars bring torch with them in night.

This discussion continued for quite some time. Prakash had shot all weired questions displaying his curiousity, but Ramesh kept his cool and kept answering these questions with great love and affection. Finally when it was dark, Ramesh took Prakash to terrace and those stars in the sky and Ramesh answered all his questions. Years passed by and like many people Prakash became a computer engineer. With his first salary, he thought of buying something for his parents. So he bought a laptop and wanted to teach his parents how to work on it. Ramesh was quite excited at the new gadget.

Prakash:Dad, this is the desktop.(pointing at the screen of laptop)
Ramesh: Ok.. What do we do with it.
Prakash: Just wait a second. I will explain you. Now when you click on Sart, you get lot of options.
Ramesh: But why start the laptop again. Its already started. Isnt it ??
Prakash: Dad, Not this start(pointing to power button), but this icon.
Ramesh: ohhk
Prakash: Click on Messenger, and then you can chat with someone.
Ramesh: But why do we need this thing to chat, when I can chat with you even without a laptop.
Prakash: Dad, are you making fun of me ?? I think you are not interested in learnng it.
Ramesh: Ohh I am sorry. You go ahead and explain me how do we chat with this.
Prakash: Now you have to create an account.
Ramesh: But we already have an account at SBI, why another account ?
Prakash: Dad, you are just stupid !!! I dont think you can ever learn it. I was nuts who thought I could teach you something. I think even this laptop is waste !!. I could have spent my time in a better way.

Ramesh left the place immediately and went to terrace. He lit up a cigarette and just leaned back in the chair. He just kept gazing at the smoke circles. And he lit up another one. It went on and on. It was the first time in his life that he smoked the whole packet in one stretch. When he had finished the pack, he felt more restless. He looked into the dark sky. Same darkness as was in his mind. Then he saw a bright twinkling star shining over there. All old memories came in front of his eyes in a flash.

Next moment Prakash heard a banging sound. When he came out of his house, his dad was all drenched in blood and was dead. He took the piece of paper from his hands which read “beta, when you asked all those weired questions, I was patient enough to atleast respond to them. I did use to get angry I never called you stupid. Now when I am old and I asked you a few questions, you shouted at me. I think I cant take this. Good Bye !!”
