THE SAME OLD ROUTINE!

-
Monday blues? Why is it even a thing?Does it mean you are not looking forward to doing a job.I know its a weird world with weird logic....To survive you need food...for food you need money.....for money you need a job....for a job you need education....but for education you need money.Its like a factory....everybody has to go through the process.
It was time for Abhimanyu my nephew to start his school....and me and Saee( his mother) were discusssing that how beautiful his life is right now.He gets up plays eats sleeps again plays and then again sleeps.Once his school starts he will have to go through the entire routine like we did.Staying in Vile-Parle it has to be first Early Concepts (a new Parle thing ) then Ramabai then Parle Tilak Vidyalaya or Mahila Sangh ( I am biased for PTV ) then Sathaye college or Dahanukar college then graduation.
Everything seems so fixed in life it is uncanny.But everybody goes through it so did I and I enjoyed it thoroughly.That is what is important.Did you enjoy it or are you doing it just because everyone else is doing it?
Everybody has a routine ....it is healthy to have one....But are you living it or are you just looking forward for the weekends.People drag on through the week with their work and then when weekend is there they will be down with two drinks and smoking a cigarette and saying "This is life....Cheers!!"But is it cool to have a life like this? Are we just living for the weekends or sometimes a vacation.People will go to the Himalayas to find peace and escape from their daily lives.
My point is make peace with your routine...Love each moment of your day.
Where did all these thoughts come in my head?Long back I had read a book 'Tuesdays with Morrie'.It was an interview of an old guy suffering from motor neuron disease.The spirit that guy had I try to keep it inside me.When he was asked 'If you were given only 1 day of your life what would you do?'
I was expecting something superhuman which anyone can imagine....But his reply was....I would just follow my routine and die peacefully.
So your routine is important....Earning money is important but do what you love ...and whatever you do you do it with your heart...Sorry to be too preachy as my friend Mitali says but Love yourself , have a great routine and enjoy life!!!!

    The trick is to be spontaneous in the routine. Then it doesn't remain a chore. Of course, if you have to catch 8:49 to Bhiwandi, you have to. But you can choose a different route to the station, use different over bridge orlisten to a different music. And then you can "walk to a different tune" , say Cheers!! ........ and mean it.

The Corporate Community Doctor

My first blog was on Being a Community Medicine doctor. I expressed how difficult it was to explain my specialization to random aunties. It wasn't love at first sight - me choosing this branch. But accepting whatever came to me and falling in love with the subject as I explored all the nooks and crevices of this subject in detail. I found this subject as a very useful tool to provide medical services to the community at large. I said in that blog what's in a name? What is the need to call it community medicine and not Preventive and Social Medicine.  But applying this subject and the learnings for more than two and a half years (well not that much of an experience timewise)  I have realized that community medicine is actually a better name.  PSM makes people focus just on the preventive aspect. But Community Medicine is just more than prevention of a disease. Prevention is an important part - YES!  But there are a lot of things which go unnoticed by general public or...

Let’s talk Depression “I don’t feel normal” Sneha told her mother. “What is not normal? You get up, you do your chores ,you study ,you have food with us , you laugh at jokes ,watch T.V. Everything is norml my child, you must be feeling hungry, go eat something then you will feel better.” Sneha’s mother answers her.What could possibly be wrong? Sneha is a graduate MBBS doctor studying for her entrance exams. She is beautiful, she is intelligent ,she is independent. But she doesn’t feel normal. She wants to tell somebody. She goes to her friends who tell her to just chill, stress is a compulsory part of life these days.It’s just a phase. Life will be better when she gets a post-graduate seat, they tell her. Her mother doesn’t even think that anything is wrong. But Sneha is a doctor, she knows this is not normal. She gets that sinking feeling in her abdomen. Sometimes she gets up early in the morning but still doesn’t feel fresh. Wa...

Being a community medicine doctor!

Random aunty in society asking,"So what are you doing these days?" "I am doing M.D in Nair hospital."I say proudly hoping to avoid further questions. "Oh great! What specialization?" The inevitable question comes for which I know I would have to spend sufficient time and energy answering it. P.S.M .....Who does that?It is nobody's first choice.Random aunties don't even know about it and they think that I am pursuing some new found branch.....which makes me look good in front of her ...but seriously P.S.M people are thought of as those who build latrines for poor people and who take advantage of so many bank holidays. Oh Ok sorry its not P.S.M anymore.Its Community Medicine....Gives it a clinical feel.Makes us feel more like doctors rather than social workers.But does it really mater what we call ourselves.Think.What we do as preventive doctors is just secondary.The name matters.Fancy!. Ok so I am Dr Rucha doing M.D. Community Medicine in T.N....
