Free-lancing!

Free-lancing!   Hello readers, Since last five months or so, I am facing a crisis situation ever since my long-term house helper left the job suddenly as her children were going to Dubai. Since then, no helper is staying for longer than 1 week period. I have given chance to so many of them, that I have lost count. The shortest time period is one day. These days, house help are in demand. There is always shortage. To combat this, each helper has taken many houses to improve their financial status. Recently, I learnt about few maids in a prime location with catchment houses exceeding their physical limitations. The way out is to skip houses in rotation (day offs), do other houses and so on. The salary of extra 2-3 houses is like a bonus. As on a single day they work in designated number of houses, and keep this cycle of rotation and day off. Yesterday, incident was out of league. As usual a Nepali lady came enquiring about work. I told her about cleaning the houses and utensils.

Doctor! What should I do?

Doctor Diary Entries Doctor! What should I do? Disclaimer: Non -fiction anecdotes. Names have not been used to maintain privacy. There is one NRI patient who comes every year for her ultrasound – mainly mammography, abdominal and pelvis studies. It’s been more than two years now that she has visited my centre. I pray to almighty for her well-being. She works as a registered nurse in some foreign country (can’t recollect the name). She used to come to meet her daughter who was five years and living with her parents. During initial check-ups, it used to be a very professional conversation. Gradually, she became more than just a patient. She had come to India for silicone breast implants and a follow up mammogram. During her next visit she told me her implant had leaked and she had to get it done again. During that particular visit, I noticed change in her appearance too. She confided, “Doctor, I come to India for cosmetic surgeries. Last year I had come for silicon breast impla

CAP person !

Hello readers, I am sharing a very interesting concept which I recently learnt. Although, many of us must be already practicing this in our day to day lives, I was enchanted by the term “CAP person”. Right from our developmental stage, each soul develops their own ways to live and devise coping mechanisms accordingly. When life hits a rough patch or we tend to find ourselves on cross roads, CAP person works like a BLS -Basic Life Support system. Right CAP is of utmost importance to protect us from harsh weather and helps us in braving the chill/ adversities of life. We have our inner circle as well as an outer circle. Blessed are those souls who have that one person in their life, who prevents their life from derailing from the main track or acts like an oxygen mask in times of suffocation. This soul is a good listener, is non-judgemental, self-motivated with a positive attitude and always leaves you empowered.   The onus is on us to identify such souls and cherish the bonds.

Parent of an Average/ a Unique child !

Chapter 38 (edited) , page 97 of my  Debut Book - Momsie Popsie Diary Tea time chit chat on living life (Golden Book Awards 2023)  Available as Paperback & e-book on Amazon and all e-commerce sites. I often get asked, .... Your child must be good in maths, science, studies in general...  I simply say no, he is not. My child is average. Am I ashamed to say this?  Yes? No ! Should I be lying that he is the best in something which he is not, in front of others? Definitely No ! My child is that average child who people fail to notice either for not being at the top or being at the bottom. People fail to notice the sweet smile, funny talks, tight hugs, friendly personality, kind behavior, mild manners, helpful nature because he is JUST an average child. The school, society celebrates children who are top scorers or good in sports and extra-curricular, which rightfully they should. These celebrations have a short life span. Amidst all this, my average child who is a spectator and chee

Analogy for Relations

(Simple, kind way to save relations and stay strong) ·     *I nspired write up. Dedicated to Twinkle - my dear friend It’s of utmost important to have a positive, motivating inner circle. Conversation with  such souls usually leaves one motivated, brimming with new recipes for My Mind’s CafĂ©. A routine conversation drifted to maintaining relations, it’s importance and the best ways to handle them amicably. I casually remarked, “Some relations are like bedsheets with manufacturing defects (In Hindi language we refer to it as kapde ke kaan hain). No matter how carefully you try to fold them neatly, one corner will always jutt out in the most obnoxious way giving it a very untidy look.” Hearing this my friend laughed and said, “I look it from a different perspective. Some relations are like that subject in your school life, no matter how hard you study, try to revise, you never cross beyond 80 marks,” she remarked. “That’s such a beautiful and an interesting analogy.
