Thankful Thursday week 3 :Being a doctor changed my life

By on 15

What’s the life event that changed my life?

Which  is the event I am thankful for most?
If you start at the beginning
Which is a very good place to start ……
 
It all began when I cleared the West Bengal Medical entrance examination .
Life changed.It was exciting.
 
 
A whole new world of anatomy dissections,biochemistry vivas ,community medicine classes ,clinical rotations and night duties.
 
 
Night duties the bane of my existence . But still being a doctor is the only thing I ever wanted to be.
 
Luckily for me in West Bengal ,I needed a paltry sum of Rs 250 per year,  as yearly tuition fees. So studying to become a doctor was not a money game.
The most money I spent ,was for books .I bought some  and photocopied  parts of those ,which I couldn’t (Yes I know that’s not ethical,but had to study and couldn’t afford them????)
My parents didn’t have to bear the burden of spending lakhs, on my education.Frankly ,they didn’t have that kind of money .
In fact as a medical student ,it was easier for me to tutor  and earn my own pocket money.
Once  I became an intern and had the formal Dr.   in  front of my name ,I started getting paid for my services.
Life changed forever.
 
 
In fact I am thankful for studying  in West Bengal .Here , till a short time  ago ,Private Medical colleges and exorbitant college fees were unheard of.The tax payers helped subsidise my studies.
This thankfulness to the citizens, made me want to stay back in India ,after completing my studies.Life  would be different in a different country .But the burden of trust which I have needs fulfilling.

3 Life lessons I have learnt in this journey

LESSON 1

I have learned never to underestimate the capacity of the human mind and body to regenerate — even when prospects seem most wretched. The life force may be the least understood force on earth.”
 
Norman Cousins (in his; Anatomy of an Illness)
 
LESSON 2
The greatest force in the human body is the natural drive of the body to heal itself – but that force in not independent of the belief system. Everything begins with belief. What we believe is the most powerful option of all.
             Norman Cousins
 
 
LESSON 3
 
Nature  itself is the best physician
Hippocrates
If the Government didn’t subsidise the cost of medical education,it would be unaffordable for many
 
It’s during my studies at Calcutta Medical college , I met my very best friend who became my life partner .
 So life took a giant leap when I entered Medical College.Both professionally and personally.

Misconceptions about Wealth:Secrets of the Millionaire mind Book review

By on 28

 Do you have a wealthy mindset ?
Did you know your mind controls how rich you will be ?
 
When I first read Think and Grow rich  by  Napolean Hill and then 
  I realized a common thread.
 
 
How wealthy you will be has a lot to do with your subconscious  mind .Your mindset.
 
Just like Rich people ,poor people and middle class people.
There are different mindsets . 

What are the different Wealth mindsets?

 

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind :Book review
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind :Book review
  • Zillionaire mindset
  • Billionaire
  • Millionaire mindset
  • Rich mindset
  • Middle class mindset
  • Poor mindset.
 
Your subconscious controls your conscious actions.
Your mindset is a function of genetics and environment .
Just like disease and health,earning money also needs mindfulness .
 
Do you feel you don’t want money?
It’s unlikely you will become rich by your actions.
That’s why the rich gets richer.
 
They know how to attract wealth.
When someone becomes rich and powerful don’t be J .
Bless that person and find out how you can do that too.
Being J stops you from learning the how’s.
 
It’s  a very negative energy which doesn’t attract positive wealth.
So is making money voodoo?
Not really .
Everything in this world is interlinked .
Just like practicing   Mindfulness   makes your mind healthy.
Exercising makes your body healthy.
Practicing making money, makes you rich.
 
Sounds funny right ?
 
Maybe I am losing ,it with all the work pressure and daily blogging?
 
 
#Demonetization made everyone shocked.The intent behind is great.
Get rid of corruption .
And they had to start somehow .
But statements like” the poor are sleeping in peace and the rich are standing in line to buy sleeping pills!”
Made me wonder.
What about middle class?
What about you and me ?
We are the middle ?
We can see both sides?
 
Why would the Government be happy if people commit suicide?
Is it good to be poor?
To beg borrow steal? Is it good to be so worried about your next meal,  that you can’t study?
Is it good to be uneducated ,poverty-stricken with a tin roof over your head?
Is it good to be at the mercy of “free “healthcare when it’s a life threatening disease?
 
Do the poor want to stay poor?
Did the honourable PM stay the “humble chaiwala”?
 Did he not rise?
Money is Goddess Laxmi.It’s energy.If you treat it badly ,if you use it for a wrong purpose, it’s written down some where  in your money map.
Earning money can’t be evil.
Not paying taxes ,not being honest,that’s not right.
 
But money is colourless .It’s neither black or White.
Like most people it’s Grey.
 
When you mock money ,you forever close the door of opportunity to earn it .
The more you say you  don’t want money,wealth is unlikely to fall in your lap.
This doesn’t mean you become greedy .This just means you realize.
 
The mark of true wealth is determined by how much money one can give away
T.Harv Eker
Do you have the right mindset ?
Do you have the right mindset ?
 
 
Misconceptions about wealth ,make it impossible  to be financially free .
 (There are affiliate links in the next part.If you click and buy  I will receive a small commission, which will in no way affect the price of your product .I only promote products which I have used and found very useful.Thank you for supporting )
This book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by  T. Harv Eker promises to help you master the inner game of wealth.
Financial prosperity in the world appears to be skewered.
 
 
Some people get richer and richer.  Others work equally hard ,buy struggling financially .Is there a relation between mental attitudes and money views?
To get rich you have to think rich. 
The author through his stories  inspire you to alter your thinking patterns.
Those clouds , mists and storms in your mind.
Calm them .Organized them 
Tell them you have a billionaire mind.
This ritual of saying it aloud sounds simple.
But there’s a thing called positive reinforcement in psychology .
In normal terms it means:
When your mom says what a good girl you are for cleaning up the kitchen ,it’s more likely you will do it again.
That’s how your brain works.
By appreciating wealth you make your subconscious open to accepting wealth.
 
Your subconscious mind is powerful .
Mental  exercises  to unlock your potential ,makes this book very interesting .
 

The Money blueprint

Did you know you have a genetic money blueprint?
How did  your parents think about money ?
Did they like earning well?
Did they like donating?
Did they like investing?
Did they like risky adventures with money ?
Did they run after money ?
 
Were they happy with money?
 
You are a complex result of your  heredity ,environment and your consciousness .
The first two are  out of your hand in your childhood.
As an adult ,how you manage the last two, can change your life.
Throughout the book the author gives you Wealth principles.
 

7 Wealth principles  which you can  try now

 
1)If you want to change the fruits ,you will have to change the roots.
If you want to change the visible,you must first change the invisible  .
 
2)My inner world creates my outer world’
 
3)The only way to permanently  change the temperature of the room is to reset the thermostat.
In the only way to change your level of financial success “permanently “, is to reset your financial thermostat
 
 
4)Rich people believe  I create my life
Poor people believe “Life happens to me”
 
5)Money is extremely important in the areas in which it works,and extremely unimportant in the areas it doesn’t .
 
6)When you are complaining ,you
become a living breathing cap magnet
 
7)The number one reason most people don’t get what they want is that they don’t know what they want .
 

What I didn’t like too much ?

 
The book is great . But you need to block out the parts of excessive self promotion that the author does .
That can be a little irritating.
 
But otherwise the mental hacks are interesting .
How to read the book for best results ?
It’s a small book which you can speed read . I suggest you try one exercise at a time.The results will encourage you to try more.
 
A favourite passage in the book is an excerpt from another book.It’s a tad long .But read it .See if you agree.Then you can try unlocking the “billionaire mindset”!
 
Money is power and you ought to be reasonably ambitious to have it!You ought because  you can do more good with it than you can without it.Money printed your Bibles,money builds your churches,money sends you missionaries and money pays your preachers….I say then  you ought to have money.If you can honestly attainment  unto riches…It is your ….Godly duty to do so. It is an awful mistake of these pious people to think you must be awfully poor in order to be pious.
Russel H .Cowell in his book Acres of Diamonds.
 
 
This passage is specially powerful.
Think about all the places where free education and free healthcare is given.
Doesnt the set-up need money?
How does the buildings  get built?
Do the employees all work for free?
How are the free medicines bought?
It’s all free because someone made a lot of money, to pay for it all.
 
Money by itself has no colour.
It’s the actions you do to get it and what you do with it, that colours it.
The day I started blogging  I was thinking of having a digital empire.That’s my plan.
Do you have a plan?
 
What do you think about your money mindset?
Do you think your subconscious  needs work.
Do you have a billionaire mindset?

Happiness and coping skills:How you can help your children

By on 28

Did you know happiness is  contagious ?
If you are happy ,good things happen.
If you are happy the weather is perfect .
If you are happy, your children smile.
 
 
 
Are happy people more successful?
Or  are successful people more happy?
 
 
 
Growing up my childhood memories are mixed .
 
Memories typically have a rosy  tint .
But one thing about life experiences ,they make you what you are.
Good ,bad and not so pretty .Your scars truly make you you.
 
Wear your scars with pride .
 
 
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars” –Kahlil Gibran
Happiness and coping skills
Happiness and coping skills
 
That’s why protecting children from conflict  and challenges is not a good idea.
 
This doesn’t mean you fight, scream and have unpleasantness at home.
 
It means let them learn to disagree with each other .Disagree but live in harmony.
 
Let them occasionally fight .Then make up.
Let them have heartaches and doubts .
 
 
Let them learn from betrayal.
Let them have their dreams broken.
 
 
Nothing that you plan is going to work out. Everything is going to be totally different than the way you expected. And things will constantly challenge you. Wherever you look the world is not as solid it seems to be.” –Eckhart Tolle
Coping skills and success
Coping skills and success
 
Change truly is the only constant.
The better you cope with change.The happier you are.
 
 
 Diseases help your body develop immunity .
Your mind develops it’s strengths from adversity.
 
Let them learn to patch their souls.
Teach them to dream new dreams.
Help them persist and persevere .
 
“When life gives you lemons
You make lemonade”
 
That should be the mantra .
 
 
Give them the education , the life tools ,resources to battle life’s pitfalls .
 
 
Teach them to rise like a Phoenix . Each time .Every time.
 
 
 
As parents you and me have the most important job .
 
 
To make beautiful responsible people.
People who love care,share .Not looking at colour ,race,geography ,gender.
But always with kindness and compassion .
 
“It is our darkest moments that we must focus on the light.” –Aristotle Onassis
 
In these divisive times.You as a mother  can help.Make  them  prepared to fight.
 
 
Fight against injustices,rise above intolerance .To stand up for themselves . Be the voice of those who have lost theirs.
 
 
 
If we lose empathy ,kindness ,compassion, don’t we stand to lose humanity ?
 
Consciousness makes us superior to others in the animal kingdom . You need to make this consciousness strong.
Sensitive .
But strong.
Sounds confusing right ?
 
 
 
Sensitive to others distress.
Strong in own distress.That’s a healthy consciousness .
 
 
When people fight,kill each other.When nothing makes sense.
 
 
Thats when we need to remember.
Remember that wars have helped no one.
 
 
Pigeon holes have made only pigeons happy .
Let us teach our children to recognize truths. To know right from wrong. Not be stuck in mind prisons.
Not be afraid .
 
 
 

Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” –Joshua J. Marine

 
To succeed where others have failed . To persist when others have given up.To go forward when others have stopped .
 
 
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.” –Bill Cosby
 
Happiness and success are life skills.As parents you give your children these treasures.
 
 
You  can only give what you  have.
 So if you have self  doubts ,fears,anger,distrust .Remove them from your  mind.This is the time to work on yourself.Until you do that ,nothing can help.
 
 
Because that’s your mind clutter.
That’s what prevents  happiness and success from staying forever.
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, or worn.It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.” –Denis Waitley
 
Teach your children to live with grace .Live life with thankfulness.Every moment . Every day.This is what I want to teach my daughter too.It’s a journey.We are learning too.
Let’s do  this together.
 
Still love
Still trust.
Still believe .
Because life truly is beautiful .
 
Do you believe happiness attracts success ?
Do you believe our scars make us stronger?

Why trust is important in any relationship

By on 17

Trust is a precious word .
The friends I am close to and family I have, are close-knit .
I take trust seriously .
If you want to grow in life, you need backup.
Your circle of trustworthy friend and family makes this process possible .
Trust makes you grow .
It makes you heal.
It’s the backbone of any relationship .
When trust is broken.It may be mended ,but the scar ,the doubt is always there .
What happens when someone  break your  trust ?
 Do you care? Do you remember?
Do you believe in Karma?
Do you trust again?
The eternal cycle.
That which goes around come around.
Do  you ransack your memory to remember whether you are at fault?
Should you remember betrayal ?
Or should you forget and forgive?
Is it better to learn from our mistakes ?Or remain innocent ?
What happens to the person who breaks trust?
Do they remain at peace?
Is their life without a ripple?
Or do they carry the burden .
The doubt.
The fear  of being dealt the same blow.
What’s worse? To have your trust broken  or to break trust?
 I believe in “relationship gold” .Friends and family  are our true treasures in life .
But all that glitters is not gold.
The trick is to find those golden people .Keep them close to your heart.
Have an awesome week.
Have you ever been betrayed?
Have you ever broken  trust?

Happy Sunday :Rejuvenation is good for your soul 

By on 12

Happiness optimism and positivity has a great effect on your mind.Since not choosing is a choice I like to have my  Sunday open-ended.

No agenda .

A little  drawing with Rai a lot of cuddling. Wishing time would stand still and rush at the same time.

 

Creating something makes your brain relax.As yout concentrate more on drawing your mind breathes easier.Until yout relax you can't recharge.
Creating something makes your brain relax.As you concentrate more on drawing, your mind breathes easier.Until yout relax you can’t recharge.

A little housework.A tiny bit of  decluttering.External chaos is after all a sign of inner chaos

Folding and keeping away the clothes(really hate this).At least some of them.Staring at my  baby mustard leaves.

Baby mustard leaves .When they grow a little older they have very pretty yellow flowers.Plus the leaves smell and taste amazing.
Baby mustard leaves .When they grow a little older they have very pretty yellow flowers.Plus the leaves smell and taste amazing.

Thinking about the naughty sparrow that broke a few branches of my jasmine.

Trying to cook creamy matar masala without messing it up.

Not really doing a lot .

The brain needs a break. Making it a point to have the Indian soldiers in my prayers.

Hoping to go watch a movie like Gumnaami.

Indoor gardening can't battle the city pollution. But youcan improve the air you breathe indoor
Indoor gardening can’t battle the city pollution. But you can improve the air you breathe indoor

Hoping India and Delhi wakes up.to the idea of vertical gardening and green walls on all buildings to stay healthy and improve the countries lungs.

At this rate we won’t survive.

I wondered today at the news.

It’s only Bad news that makes the cut.

What about good news? 

Why don’t  these politicians  work towards decreasing pollution ?

Why didn’t the Delhi government take preventive steps ? 

Why didn’t they insist on growing  green walls with every new building projects ? 

Why do we always have to work backwards?

Why can’t we prevent?

Maybe we can.If you and me want to do something we can.

This studyfound that blogging about a relative suffering from cancer Helps in coping mechanism.

Can blogging help us fight this battle?

I think it’s not  too late.We can still do a lot .

Can we give our children fresh air?

Can we give them sunshine?

Can we them a healthy life?

I am stuck in a small town in West Bengal .Not much here but the pollution is still there.

My home has 80 plants .That helps me .

1 to 3 per 100 square feet is said to be adequate.

Will you promise yourself to do a little for the environment ? 

That will make this a very #Happy Sunday.

Let me know in the comment below,what your plan to do to help the environment  and yourself?

 

Power of Storytelling :Fridayfotofiction (1)

When the Storm came

 

Clear blue sky and the azure sea looked perfect.
The water calmed her down.Sania really didn’t want to do this .But there really was no other way.

The other way was too difficult .
Taking the last swig from the bottle ,she stood up
Walking slowly towards the edge .
Not noticing the knot of angry clouds.
With one feet balanced on the platform she let her robe fall  .
The last swim.

“Sania…..where are you?”
Ayushman’s voice jolted her
She turned .
Almost falling into the suddenly choppy waterfront!
Ayushman  caught her.
“A storm is coming , don’t go swimming now!
Have you been drinking?”
A drop rolled off Sania’s  eyes.

You don’t know when your loved one’s may be needing you.The problem with depression is , outwardly things may look perfect.Only one thing ,may be needed to topple the balance. Take care of yourself and those who need you.

Alcohol and other substance abuse can make situations worse.There’s always help .Don’t give up.

Danger signs for people at risk:

  • Depression.
  • Loss of interest.
  • Rage.
  • Irritability.
  • Humiliation.
  • Anxiety.

Don’t walk that path.Life is too beautiful .

Stories have the power of transforming lives . Of explaining difficult issues easily.

Depression and suicide is unfortunately commonplace nowadays.What’s it common is giving and getting help.

Be kind to yourself and others.You don’t know when you may be saving someone’s life .
