The window to life…

February 25th, 2007

The NICU is located on the eighth floor of the hospital. The waiting room, outside the NICU has a large window which overlooks the Ahmedabad city. Its not really a pretty sight, but when you have to spend hours on end in that waiting room, nothing else to do, staring out of that window seems to be a great option.

After the 8:30 a.m. round of the doctor, with nothing else to do, there I was standing @ the window, staring into the city.

Spread before me was the city that gave this grief to my dad.

The worst Sunday

February 23rd, 2007

I always considered February 23, 2003 as the worst sunday of my life. An office broke out in my office and everything that I had struggled over for years and accumulated and built was burnt and washed away.

However, February 18, 2007 beats it by a zillion times.

Imagine being woken up @ 5:00 in the morning to rush and find your father lying on the floor, foaming @ his mouth, laboured breathing and wet pyjamas.

Call to God

October 31st, 2006

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around  the world.  So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to China.

On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read “$10,000 per call”.

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.  The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

“I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes intercommunications incomprehensibleness”

So do you observe something ??? Come on guess!!!

Today is better than tomorrow….

August 28th, 2006

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said I love you but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

Pay it forward and change the world ?!?!

July 24th, 2006

Here’s an idea! Just do random good deeds that are difficult and hard for you to three people. Instead of them paying you back, ask them to pay it forward. Each one of them should pay it forward to three different individuals and they in turn do the same.

Think that would change the world?
