Orphans : have you ever met one ?

A Doctor made an orphan a Doctor


It was a normal day like any other day.the only difference was that it was Sunday. Breakfast time on Sunday in mess is late than any other day, its from 9 to 10am. I was reading a novel "think and grow rich". My legs were on the table one on another and I sat on the chair. It was raining outside so I could feel the freshness and was thinking to make a plan to visit somewhere, apart from this I was suffering from cold and viral fever so couldn't go anywhere.

Suddenly I found myself lost in memories. I was in a restaurant with one of my good friend, Shruti Rana. It was Feb one month before my birthday and she asked me where I would like to go on my birthday ? I said where you are ready to give me party. And then she said that she is serious and I said let me see. I thought for a second and said orphanage. She said okay. I thought they'll plan to visit an orphanage on my birthday or nearest weekend but ....( then my phone's ring brought me in present)

I got a call on my phone. It was from Yoshita ma'am. My senior who plays badminton with us and in electronics and communication. She is little moti so can't play as fast as she wants to play. I picked up her call. She asked do you about any orphanage in Kurukshetra. I said no, but let me confirm, some day scholar must know about it. And only person is there who knows every place in Kurukshetra, Shubham. I called him, he told me about an orphanage which was 25 km away from my college, so we could not go.
 
In next two days my viral fever increased much and on Monday I went to medical store to take medicine. I took it in evening and it started to show some reaction. That increased on next day and because of that I have to come home. But still I was thinking to visit an orphanage.
Yesterday I asked my father if there is any orphanage neary the city or any child who was an orphan and someone taking care of him. Then he told me about Dr VC Sharma.
Dr VC Sharma was a MD Physician in Jeevan Hospital here in suratgarh. A person named Sundar Raj was his car driver and his wife Rajni devi used to works there in his home. He had a son Rajeev. Dr Sharma's son Bhavit and Sundar's son both were studying in the same school and same class. They were tuff competition for each other in school. Dr Sharma was paying for Rajeev's study and he never made him feel that his father was his driver. He had also provided accommodation to Rajeev's family. Later on Rajeev was sent to prepare for competitive exam with Bhavit.
As Dr Sharma was paying for Rajeev. His parents were greatful to him. So they wish to go to Salasar Dhaam and  Khatu Shyam Ji  ( famous holy temples in Rajasthan).  They were going to Salasar Dhaam to Jaipur for Khatu Shyam Ji ,  their bus met an accident with a truck full of diesal. Total 23 people died in that accident, Sundar and Rajni were two of them.  On that day Rajeev lost his parents but Dr Sharma didn't tell about this to Rajeev for whole year. After one year when Rajeev returned in vacations then he got this message Ans he was broken. He hugged Dr Sharma and said what he'll do now ? Then Dr Sharma asked him that he is always there for him and he is same as bhavit for him. Rajeev on that day decided that he'll be a great Dr like Dr Sharma.
After 20 years Rajeev was cardiologist in Fortis Gurgaon and Bhavit was Neurologist in Delhi. Dr Sharma is noe living in Delhi Hauzkhas with his wife Neeta Sharma, his son Dr Bhavit Sharma and Dr Rajeev Raj
Last week Dr sharma suffered from heart attack when he was in Delhi with his family. He was taken to Rajeev's hospital but Rajeev couldn't save him.
Rajeev had tears in his eyes when coming out of operation theater. Then Mrs Sharma came to him and wiped out his tears. And then she left.

 Dr Sharma made both of his sons doctors and he set an example for us.

Naked

A few months back, I came across a  YouTube short  of  Slavoj Žižek . I don’t watch reels or shorts as it’s a rabbit hole. Once you’re in, getting out is hard. That reel was a part of his interview and had a story.  Žižek  is a Slovenian philosopher. A girl came to  Žižek  and told him that when his last lover saw her naked, he told her to lose a few extra pounds. Her lover thinks she will be perfect once she loses 3 -4 extra pounds.  Žižek  told her not to lose that extra pound. He said that imperfection is the cause of desire. This imperfection held him close to her. He might lose interest in her once she loses those extra pounds. It is called the objective cause of desire in psychoanalysis. That brought two things to my mind. First, we are humans and naturally wired to find negatives anywhere. It is just simple threat protection mechanism. So if the girl secrets the extra pound, his partner’s eyes would the...

Bad Company : With a touch of Indian history

Those who do not read the history tend to repeat it.  Ever heard the above quote ?    In school we had a story of a bad company and a friend of mine, Sanjay said jokingly 'all company is bad company'. Don't go into grammatical errors of it since we were Hindi medium students and more importantly kids. I think both of us now working for some corporate would agree to this with some extent but I am sure that Sanjay had not said this keeping corporate in mind because we were in middle school and we did not know where would we go.  Possible comparison he must have done is East India Company to Bad company of friends, bad friends can do enough damage to you in similar ways that East India Company did to India. Though, this reasoning can now be linked to corporate as well. Choice is personal and reasoning as well, but the thought can not be discarded altogether at once. I do have my reasons but let's get into history and see if we have something in common between East Indi...

Symbols

“Why are you obsessed with death?” “No, I am not.” “Well, you are. Because you are not afraid to talk about it.” “Yes, that’s right. I know I am going to die, and so are you. No matter how much I love you, I know you are going to die. Also, It’s symbolic as well, and not actual always.” “What do you mean by symbolic and actual?” “People die actually, and people die symbolically. You’ve not yet thought about how one can die symbolically. That’s all, but now this thought is not going to leave your mind.” “Stop it, please. Why talk about it, even if this is going to happen.” “Not talking about it also not going to stop it. Being immortal is the worst thing that can happen to us.” “I wouldn’t say so.. but still stop. I don’t want to talk now.” .. and then I stopped with a smile, knowing the person was going to die, either before me or after me. Things I did, Things we, in general, do in love will hold no meaning after some time, this is death. Death is not just limited to the hum...
