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.

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.

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.

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]

When pulse polio was introduced, I had the privilege to pen down few slogans and lyrics for promotional song.

After my graduation, I moved into postgraduation in orthopedics and did not write for sometime.

But in end of that post graduation I again wrote more than 100 poems and ghazals. I still have those with me. The previous ones had been lost due to a foolish act of frenzy.

Anyways!

Orthopedics brought out scientific writer in me and quest for spirituality. May be trauma and morbidity surrounding was responsible to ask the questions which science could not answer.

Thus began a journey full of pains and pleasures. Not getting an answer is very painful. And nothing is more pleasurable than realization of world and mysteries surrounding that.

You do not get all the answers but you do get signs that indicate you would find them.

In 2204 October, I founded my first website http://homeforprofits.com. How and why is a big question. I would write in detail one day.

For now it is sufficient that, it was born out of hobby and later developed into passion.

Further down, I founded Bone and Spine Health, a website on orthopedics meant for people other than orthopedists.

Both of my sites are quite different in their audience. While one is on health, other is on internet business.

I like them both and they are quite successful by their own unique metrics.

I try writing daily for both of them.

There are 7 other sites that I run. But they are yet to come into mainstream called success.

Each of these sites have an interst or skill or hoby that dominates the content.

I still needed some place to write on topics unrestricted by the limits.

That is how I founded arunpalsingh.com

There are no targets to meet here, there are no forces that limit my content.

Rather than for any audience, it is for my selfish self.

But somehow deep down I feel that it is going to surpass the success of everything so far I have done.

Let us see.

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.
