Dear Diary, Festival season, festive mood, high spirits, happy faces, everything is full of life , blooming, blossoming. A little humor will add the much required flavor. ( Disclaimer :   This post is entirely fictional. Any resemblance to anyone is purely co-incidental). Case Scenario 6 (Oozing with smartness kinds) Patient walks in for ultrasound examination of abdomen. Staff helps the patient lie down, requests the upper clothing to be rolled up and to loosen the belt and lower A casual reminder to the staff to expose the part to be examined properly, as scanning will be done of the exposed part only. Never in my wildest dreams thought, patient was intently listening. Silently,the patient gets up, removes his shirt and lower and to everyone,s surprise, lies on the examination table only in his boxer shorts ( ONLY ! Imagine the shocked faces of doctor and staff,   . Alas ! my good lord, what happened? No one asked the patient to undress. Patient (smiling

Dear Diary, Here comes the kartik month spreading festivals and celebrations everywhere. Everyone's seems to be in an unusual happy, peaceful space. Even I was caught up in this space for quite some time ,that  I neglected my child : my blog. There was  a delay in  relay from my blog. So many thoughts and stories keep moving around within my white matter . Finally, I have caught hold of few important ones, which need to be penned down, to bring them to life. This weekend, will bring alive few hard core facts. Till then take care, keep loving, keep reading, keep sharing. Love, Juju

Dear Diary,                                                It,s festival time favourite time of the year when everyone is happy, full of positivity and energy. So, I thought of sharing few awesome lessons which I have learned from my respected teachers- my patients. I am sure these will bring a slight curve on your face after all smile is the best accessory which many of us forget to wear. Case study 1- Epidemic encounter Doctor," Namaste, how are you ? Aapko kya taqleef hai?" Patient:" You are the doctor, not me, you tell ! If I knew , why would I  come to you ? " ( That makes sense.Doctor silently prays and starts with the examination protocol.  Case study 2 : Melodramatic encounter. Doctor : "Namaste , how are you ? What brings you here ?" Patient ( in tone full of melodrama): " Kya batayein daac....tarrrr sahib, ithhe sassa daa raula hai ! ( problem with mother in law) Doctor ( taken aback) :"Oh ! that,s fine , parr probelm kya

Dear Diary, First and foremost,  accept my apology for neglecting you for a week. Please remember my dear diary," you were always on my mind."  On a recent trip down memory lane, I remembered my favorite childhood days book - Reader,s Digest which had a section on Humour in uniform pertaining to funny army anecdotes. This gave birth to the topic of my next blog- Humour in white coat. Stay tuned to read my next write up within next twelve hours. Love, Juju

Thursday 26 September 2019 11:28pm                                                                        Dear Diary Life is very simple for those who enjoy and turbulent for those who analyze. Many a times, we learn the real meaning of our mortal form from little munchkins in our lives. I believe that every word which comes from a child,s mouth ( till a certain age) is word of God. Please listen to your child . Reality is that, a child teaches us more than we think we are teaching a child . Sharing few eye openers. Lesson 1 Routine weekday, early morning, birds are chirping, sun is playing hide and seek with few orange rays filling the sky forcing moon to take leave and rest for few hours. Child: " Maa!, from now on, when I come from school , I want you to receive me." Mother: Oh dear!, you very well know that your mom is a professional and can,t come when your school gets over." Child : " I just want to see my mother when I reach home from school.

Dear Diary, This write up is a casual one about memories. All of us have cherished memories of our childhood, school days, friends, family and neighbourhood. I feel many of us are trapped within the first fifteen / sixteen years of our life (formative years) and tend to see our whole life through this lens. Some may have a different viewing lens. To a child,s eye, this world appears to be magnanimous with an attached magical aura . As we walk in this journey of life, our visions grow and memories become small and some even fade away. Recreating same old memories ! always intrigued me. I experimented on few of my favourite cherished memories which are embedded deep in my heart. The outcome was disheartening. As a child, my school used to appear like a huge fort in the heart of city. What once looked like a huge building complex with big ground, now looked like a small green grey patch in the middle of a concrete jungle ( Thanks to development in name of road elevations, flyover
