Bapu

 ....Mohandas K .C.Gandhi ....the name representing an indomitable spirit straddling the sub continent like a colossus...far ahead of his time Bapu was in the forefront as a social reformer and a freedom fighter ,leading India’s Independence movement to freedom in 1947.

Bapu’s spirited reply to British domination and his fight for all the tenets of a free citizenry is relevant as ever...as Freedom is precious...we owe all our happiness to this basic fundamentals of being free....

On the occasion of His Birth Anniversary, an auspicious day,truly salute the Great son of India : Gandhiji

.....the first drops of a rain .....

 As you untangle the knots of Life..... you hope for the best....actually hope keeps us alive.....no matter how strong the adversary is.....it’s the human spirit which will dominate ultimately.....time is the best judge and healer.....thr is no delimitation of a fair trial of betterment or beginning.... , for the human spirit is an embodiment of a relentless irrepressible lot.....come what may.....the grey fringed marauders , the loose tissue welcoming the first drops of rain with zeal....nothing can stop us not even a Pandemic..!!!r

Basic Concepts

 ....a day of a Friday holiday is most welcome now....as a tight schedule ,though now less dramatic ,engages the better part of the week....the mantra is back to the basics....with basic concepts to be cleared....the basic concepts are the bedrock of multistoreys of success upon which you can confidently build a castle of a dream of fulfillment and contentment....now it’s payback time...covid 19 push around time....it’s time to push aside and move ahead....nothing on earth is permanent....covid 19 will also fade into oblivion just like small pox , now nearly minimal mumps and receding AIDS with better management...all you need is to search for that beacon of lite of hope , a torchbearer who will show you the way ....yes it’s basic concepts time....back to the basics...all you need is a guru ,showing and inspiring you on the way...I got mine....

....Back again....

....Feels good  to  be  back  again   after a hibernation since May ...coming to terms as the Viremia is unabated....with vaccine in sight , we are hopeful....the  weather  warm , torrential downpour , scanty these days  I thought ...there is a direct effect  now on the socio economic front, as definitely the Pandemic has taken its toll....the action resumed on  the hospital front  last  mnth. with full  preparation for a re opening post lock down ...the old adage " ...when the going gets  tough  ,  the  tough  gets  going ..."....taking the Bull  by  its  horn....!!!

....Anniversary....Vows of thick & thin & a cup of tea in togetherness...

...Hovering dark clouds of a quarantine is no more ....as  we  breath  free......as 'the  old  order  changeth  yielding  place  to  new'....the weather  playing  truant ....a brief sunny  morn ....a  cup  of  tea & we re exchange  our  vows  of  thick  nd  thin  ....the anniversary is  as  usual tru  to  our  commonality  of  a  nature  of  quietude nd not withstanding  the  ponderance of  a current  situation , of a World in imbroglio vis a vis so called  development  & modernity , prostrate, to  a microbe taking on  the  might of  humanity.... thank the Lord , for everything ...a cup of tea in togetherness is all tht we crave  for .....the fragility of our  existence & establishment , fulwell we know to make  the  best  use  of a time in  any  kind  of situation .....the deep  blu yonder  is  as constant  as  the  Northern Star , a change  in its many  a  hue , imprinting  on  our lives , a towering infinite horizon , a mighty Sun dutifully   setting amidst its  depth ....day in  out , the ritual enacted .....thick  & thin as  they  move  on with  the  re enactment , a leaf taken frm Nature's page  for  a  Constant Journey , two of us  to

times immemorial .... 

.....Quarantined.....

….sooner or  later  it  had  to  happen  ...as  I  was  managing  the  clinic  since  March  with  skeletal  staff , as  many  were  on leave .....taking  all precautions  ,  managing  the  community  , taking  care  of  their  health & Prayers  on  the  lips  ....as  Covid  19 spread  its tentacles  worldwide  ,  the  Island  was  waiting  ....13th  april  was  the  day  whn  waterloo  was  met  as  one  of  my  staffs  presented  with symptoms  , having  visited  earlier  another  pvt  institution  as  an  emergency  with  shortness  of  breath at  midnight  ....15 th apr.  Male' city was  shut  lock  stock  &  barrell as  a  local  tested  positive ....&  we all  ceased operation  ....a  week  later  the  news  of  my  staff  hvin  tested  positive  too , with  me  having  referred  him  to  the  flu  clinic in  the  adjoining  island , came  as  a  shocker....the  HPA notified  & being  a  close  contact  I was  quarantined  at  the  earliest ....a  host  many  people  of  the  clinic  was  notified .....quarantined ......the  city reeling  now with  cases & the  frontliners  braving  it  out  .....Our  quarantine  ends  in  a  couple of days  but  the lock  down  is  to  continue  ....INS Jalaswa is ready  for  the  first  batch  of Indian evacuees  to  Cochin  tomorrow ....We  will  be  braving  it  out  as  the  situation  evolves  ....

....finally grounded....

....finally  Grounded.....the  Jet  set dramatics of an Island  sojourn ,Onset  of  which  began  in  2006, comes to  a screeching  halt  ....it  was in  the  offing , as  the Global  scenario turned  grim  ,  the  archipelago was just  waiting  for  the disaster .....a  mnth  of  lull  after  imported  cases  of  Covid  19 mostly  tourists got  admitted &  isolated  & Quarantined ,  treated , a  burst of Community  spread in  the capital City, as  Complacency was  begining to creep  in  ....brings  the  City  to  its  knees  ... Today  is  Ramadaan  the  Holy  mnth , the  City in Prayers sans  the  Congregation....an acute  shortage  of  commodities ..... as  an  effective  Lock  down is  put  to  place ....the Elements   same as  ever, The cool  clime  ,  sporadic  showers  &  the  deep  blu ....the  thrift  which  we  inculcated  in  the  last  14  yrs  is  bearing  fruits  as we organize  to changing  times....!!!
