We persistently monitor our laptop and we make sure we shield against any virus prevailing around. We also spend lots of money on decorating our house …..we even love to do some fancy stuff for our cars …but how many of us do General checkups @ regular intervals? I feel so bad that I had to wait all the way long till I had to marry a doctor for me to realize the importance of checkups. What is the use of studies when we behave like an illiterate? If people like me do not realize how are we going to convey this message to people who don’t have the ability to read/write …
General checkup is nothing disquieting..just an alert to make sure you are doing okay. For some reason most of us ignore lot of the things when it comes to Health. Sluggishness is no.1 in the list when it comes to these bad practices. Doing a general checkup may not take more than an hour yet we feel we do not have time to do this routine.
People have to change the mentality sometimes …I had a chance to interact with one of leading India’s Pulmonologist who also happens to be my cousin brother. There was lot of topics we discussed and one thing we noticed was people’s mentality. They believe spending 400 rupees for a checkup or a doctor visit is waste of money and immediately start to grumble about doctors. Patients should NOT expect a commodity or merchandise when they visit a doctor ..all they can receive is consultation tips and advice on the next steps …To diagnose a specific symptom a doctor has to bring all his expertise and experience to advice the patient. People try to act smart by reading from Internet and come up with some questions. All they got to understand is doctors are well aware that patients are well equipped with lot of information from various different sources. People believe they are saving money and are ending up on the losing side.
Steve jobs had all the money in the world ..but he was stuck with Pancreatic cancer which people believe one of its kind. I am not saying Jobs did not took care of his health but what I am trying to say is “If there is no health then all what you possess becomes of no value”. In this competitive world people get new diseases because of the lifestyle and other factors and on the other side plenty of work going on R&D in the field of Medicine to improve people’s life. Whatever it is the first step should be to do a general checkup on regular basis and insist the importance to our near and dear ones.

Wonderful feeling ...
Somethings can only be felt ..we cannot do justice by words or ink ….One such thing happened to me in recent past. My office was moving its location so I was busy cleaning my desk and packing everything and gearing up to move to our new office. Because I leave late every evening I get to meet this janitor (should be a Mexican) almost every day and just wish him ‘Hi’ …I was asking him whether he is going to serve our new office too ….He replied saying “No …..” suddenly I realized I may no longer see this guy. I just said “Thank you very much for all your work” ….he said ‘No problem’ and was smiling …..Well I realized both of us don’t know what to say and I left the place saying ‘Bye’ ….On my way back while I was driving back home I was cherishing of what little I did a while ago by saying ‘Thank you’.
When someone wishes us ‘Thank you’ it feels so nice because they are thoughtful and you wonder how sweet they are. Thanking someone has to come from heart and not from lips …it’s is very easy to figure that out ..at least for me ….such a materialistic world we live in …everything happens like a 2 minute noodles…human bonding is an true art by itself ….some of us thank right away because we cannot keep anything within ourselves …some are tight lipped and convey our feelings after a while ago ….some though our mind says something we follow something …..It does not necessarily mean one who wishes is good and ones who do not are bad ….
When I was a child I used to wonder what is ‘screenplay’ when the film title used to roll …I understood the terms ‘story’, ‘dialogue’, ‘direction’ but ‘Screenplay’ was one word which always keep wondering …Now I enjoy ‘Screenplay writing’ and in fact my big passion …so what it is? It is nothing but placing appropriate things at appropriate places to get the appropriate mood ….I believe almighty is the biggest screenplay writers in this world ….how many screenplay writing he got to do considering the number of humans he got to deal in this universe . The more human we are by emoting few things like ‘Wishing Thanks’, ‘Appreciating ones efforts’, ‘Encouraging people’, etc., it makes the screenplay writing very easier for the almighty …I hope you are able to connect my little screenplay over here ….

Power of Book reading
A settled or regular penchant or practice is called a ‘Habit’; As we grow up we nurture lot of habits – going to the gym in the morning, going to the temple during weekends etc., I have heard that recording the happenings in one’s diary each day before going to sleep to be one of the greatest habits one can possess. I am going to succinct about another simple yet powerful habit ‘Book reading’. I want to write this article to all my friends to share this habit which can eventually transform their minds and take them to newer levels in their lives.
As with every other thing the beginning is always tough. In fact I remember the first book I was trying to read I had all sorts of thoughts running through my mind. Only when I read a book I would reminisce ‘Dhoni smashing a sixer’, ‘Punch dialogue from Thalaivar’, ‘Curd rice served in Shiva Vishnu temple’ ..basically mind is distracted. I tried a lot and before I read five pages I will automatically slumber. At times I even just used to read mechanically without bothering to understand the content because my goal was to complete reading one book outside academics.
Eventually I completed though it took long still I was happy I completed one book. I gained little confidence and decided to read a book where I can relate to the contents so I chose to read “My Name is Rajinikanth”..all my roomies were laughing loud that I picked this book but that decision proved to be a blessing as I was able to read the book pretty fast. So bottom line if you are new to book reading choose a book where you can relate to the content.
Ok so what does Book reading really do? How does it help? How do we get inspired? According to me experiences are new to individuals but not to the world. Whatever one experiences in his/her life (Happiness, struggles, Gains, losses, adventures etc.,) can be new to that individual but it is never a new experience to this world. Meaning one must have already faced the same situation before. So book is a medium which can teach you your future or act as a guide how to react to such situations in future. It will make you think wise and can transform your mind. It just depends on how cleverly you choose the book.
A big word of caution while choosing which books to read. I have heard people being so religious and after reading a book they totally stopped worshipping. Books are so powerful that they can just make you take a ‘U Turn’. Pick the books on the subjects you enjoy. Biographies/autobiographies can be a good starting point.
These days book reading have become very comfortable through Kindle and Ipads. Thanks to technology. Cultivate this habit early in your childwood and you will see the true difference in the way you talk and approach your life. People may make fun initially that you are an erudite guy and then may make fun that you never practice what you read; Just remain silent and continue your work and soon you will find the same people will start appreciating you.

Housewives aka Home makers
If everyone wants to work inside the building then who will build the building? Housewives are alarmingly becoming fewer in number thanks to IT jobs. This drift may continue in future as we face a very competitive ambiance. This article is dedicated to all current Home makers and future house wives ……
First and foremost the boundary line cannot be drawn for a House wife saying these are the duties they are responsible for. Activities like gardening, commemorating small functions like chitra pournami, spending more time with the kids, organizing social activities which play an imperative role in maintaining the bonding between nearest and dearest ones. etc., are all part of their regular life. These are apart from the copious tasks they do on a daily basis.
One thing in favor of the house wives is ‘Time’. If this is utilized in an efficient manner then they are right on track. They have all the time in the world to do lot of activities which their counterparts can only do on weekends. Home makers have the luxury to cherish small things. They can in fact sense how fast the nails grow for their kids on a daily basis, make a garland and offer to deity on a daily basis, enjoy talking to family back home on daily basis etc.,
Now the most crucial factor – “Financial needs” the reason why most of the girls want to work apart from being independent and to keep themselves busy. Though this is a debatable topic I have tried to be as realistic as possible by quoting incidents such as (1) Buying a property in suburb versus buying in a main locality (2) Driving Odyssey/Sienna instead of MDX/RX (3) Watching Rajini movie on 2nd week instead of first weekend
House wives may not have fancy titles to their name, may not see rush hour traffic, may not deal with conference calls but act as a fulcrum in which the whole family relies on. To all the husbands – your Wife/Mom/Sister may be a Doctor, Engineer or a Lawyer but feel proud that they are “House wife” as it is a ‘Blessing’.
