General checkups

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 ….
