In Spite of..

I am, right now have been struck in situation that keeps me busy from the moment I wake up to the time I sleep. There is nothing alarming. Family, household duties, clinical practice, land stuffs, legal battles, offline projects.

Whenever I want to sit and write, something more pressing surfaces and writing becomes secondary option.

I am barely able to find time to support the website network I have build.

And the traffic is going downwards.

Somehow I have managed to update boneandspine.com with help of images which reduce the amount of time required.

The worst thing is there seems no respite.

I cannot give up clinical practice. [Read more...]

Walk In The Opposite Lane

In India one is taught to follow the left side in a traffic. We do the same when we walk. We walk along the traffic. I also do the same but I have few concerns.

When you walk along the traffic direction, rather than opposite to it, you do not see what is coming from behind.

You are at a greater risk as compared to when you walk against the traffic.

But, how hard I may try, I find it consciously very difficult to walk against the traffic.

I am urged to go to the other side.

The years of practice refuses to die and the feet itch to move to the opposite side. [Read more...]

Loneliness Kills : Take Care Of Your Folks

I recently visited to see a elderly lady who were in her late eighties. That lady lived and ate alone. She was wife of a businessman who died few years years ago.

From what I have heard, the lady had seen very good days in the past when her husband was alive, rich and successful.

She used to attend a lot of social gatherings, had founded a hospital in the town which is known by name of her husband.

Her only son stays in a distant city.

I received the request to see her for complaint of joint pains following a fall. [Read more...]

Hi There!

I am surprised to see that in spite of my lack of focus there is an increase in the readership of the blog.

That feels pretty good.

But it also brings a feeling of guilt. Guilt of neglecting this blog.

I am guilty of neglecting the blog and the meaning it used to hold in my imagination.

I have many business and health blogs and wanted a separate space where I could share myself, my thoughts, my likings, my goals, obstacles and fears.

So I got this separate domain name and started this blog.

But over the years it has suffered a lot of neglect.

And I am trying to change that.

I am again trying to bring the continuity in the posts.

Some posts might be shorter. Just like Hi.

Sometimes that is enough. :-)

Do You Read Often?

I used to in my yester years.

I was an avid reader of literature since my childhood. There were few religious books in our house which I used to relish. In those times I read Ramayana, Mahabharata, books by Vivekananda.

I received autobiograpy of Milkha Singh as an award when I was in fifth class. It was quite nice to read.

When I reached high school my interest got shifted to Hindi prose. Chandrkanata Santati, books by Premchand, Mahadevi Verma, Amrita Pritam, Bacchan… There were a lot others that I am forgetting.

Before MBBS I only read in Hindi and Punjabi. English never came naturally to me.

I was introduced to English literature in my MBBS. I have read a lot of works by different authors both classics and contemporary.

Then something happened.

Slowly, as a result of the lack of time the habit faded away.

I read only sporadically. On PC reading increased with time and books were away.

I still like reading books and have a lot of areas of interset from Poetry to Politics.

I am trying to revive the habits. I would create a note every time I finish one.

Changes Are Hapening…

First one is obvious. The website is now running on Sleek child theme on Genesis theme framework. It look nice than earlier  Lifestyle theme.

Another new is that I am shifting my bases,….. again.

I have been working in Sacred Heart Hospital in Jalandhar for past eight months. It is nice hospital that functions well but I am leaving the job to establish my own practice.

And the best place after all consideration was done was found to be my hometown and nearby area.

I would be joining swami Premanand Hospital in Mukerian and have an OPD at my clinic in the evening.

It seems like a good strategy.

The need to move has stemmed from the need of going home and stay with parents.

There are a lot of plans that I would be discussing. Let us see how things turn.

Wish me luck…….

Again.

Lend A Helping Hand

It would make you feel better.

Our society is addressed as selfish and self centered. We rarely care about what others might go through. Concern and care are as rare as good weather.

What concern us most is what is ours.

Rest can go in hell.

But as with other things this is not entirely true.

I was chased by a young boy on bike for two kilometers that I have a car door partially closed.

Recently I was stopped on the road to tell that road has broken glass and  should be careful.

People do lend helping hand.

It does make you feel better.

Writing For Selfish Self

why_notAs a child I never thought, I would want to become a writer. It was not until my mid twenties that  I realized my passion for writing. It started with poetry in Hindi, my mother tongue.

English has been an alien language since beginning but Hindi was natural. So I wrote in what cam naturally.

From Hindi poetry I then moved to verse in Hindi. I also served as Co-editor of our college magazine “Spandan”, a yearly magazine by students of Maulana Azad Medical College [The place where I did my MBBS from] [Read more...]

Standing and Waiting – It Is High Time

wait

The web site had been static for some time. I always wanted to write regularly for this site but never could manage.

Long hours in hospital and projects I was working on hardly left any time for web. Because arunpalsingh.com was new, the priority was lower too.

Last month I had been especially busy. There was an interview and I also visited my native palce Hajipur in Punjab.

It is high time that I should write on this blog.

The ideas come and go. I write many a things in my thoughts.

But that is not adding any thing to the site.
