'IMPOSSIBLE '

We know nothing is impossible.
We like to believe anything is possible.


But we carry doubts. We ask for reasons.


Doubts are not always reasoned.
Questions are not always answered.
Sometimes  seeing leads to believing.


Someone said....
              Believe.... and magic would unfold.
              Disbelieve.... and there would be tragedy.


Watch the follwing videos and decide for yourself...

Amazing you Say !!

Believe !! Believe in Yourself !!

"You're a Doctor? How much do you make?"

Somebody asked: "You're a Doctor? How much do you make?"
I replied: "HOW MUCH DO I MAKE?" ...
I can make holding your hand seem like the most important thing in the world when you're scared...
I can make your child breathe when they stop...
I can help your father survive a heart attack...
I can make myself get up at 4AM to make sure your mother has the medicine she needs to live...and I will work straight
through until 4am to keep her alive and start the day all over again!
I work all day to save the lives of strangers...
I will drop everything and run a code blue for hours trying to keep you alive!!!
I make my family wait for dinner until I know your family member is taken care of...
I make myself skip lunch so that I can make sure that everything I did for your wife today was correct...
I work weekends and holidays and all through the night because people don't just get sick Monday though Saturday and during normal working hours.
Today, I might save your life.
How much do I make?
All I know is, I make a difference.

PS : Today I had patient having some chronic complaints. The history taking lasted  almost an hour. At the end of it the patient remarked, "Thank you Doctor. Your questions made me introspect. Now a days we don't get time to introspect even."

So I may add
I make my patients introspect, so that , they get know themselves & make course-correction.

Characteristics of a Good Boss

Why I am writing about Good Boss?



A recent survey done to access the characteristics of a Good Boss is relevant to all of us. We are boss to somebody. If you are not boss in actuality, you may feel that you are a boss. You may be a boss in your family. Or you may be a boss of yourself. So the results apply to everybody of us.


Results of the Survey :
The survey gives an option to indicate a choice. And the overwhelming majority( 58%) is of the opinion that the Good Boss 'develops every emplyoee'.
26 % people felt that immediate problem solving is important.
Only 3 % felt that rescuer to the worst performer is  a Good Boss. Remaining 13 % argued different reasons.


So Good Boss has the tasks cut-out for him.
1) Assist in Development of the people 
2) Problem- solving.


" I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers"

-- Ralph Nader

Questions to ponder over :
Am I assisting in the Development of my people? My family members? My Friends ? Those people who are in my "Circle of Influence"?
Am I developing myself? Do I have a method of continually improving myself?
What am I doing for my spiritual development?
Am I challenging myself / others enough intellectually?
How am I taking care of my roles & relationships?
Am I doing my exercises regularly?
Do I have my financial development plan?


" Educationists should build the capacities of the spirit of enquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and  moral leadership among students and become their role model"

-- Abdul Kalam, Former President of India

Be a Good Boss... Boss!!

The Akshay Tritiya

Well... this is my second attempt at blogging.
I would like this to be an interactive blog.
Starting on this Auspicious Day of Akshay Tritiya.

What is Akshay Tritiya ?
Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej is a Hindu and Jain holy day, that falls on the third Tithi (Lunar day) of Bright Half (Shukla Paksha) of the pan-Indian month of Vaishakha. It is an auspicious day of the birthday of Lord Parasurama who is the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. On this day Veda Vyas and Lord Ganesha began to write Mahabharata. The meaning of the word Akshaya is infinite that which never recede.... (Thanks Wikipedia)

This day belongs to one of those three & half mahoorat days ( yes three & half mahoorat days) when one can start any sigificant venture, any thing that marks progress of you AND for this you don't require to see a 'horoscope'.

Many people buy gold on this day ( Isn't it a thing that imbibes a habit in you to invest regularly). May be that is the reason India is one of the largest consumer of gold for ages.

Gold as an Investment

 Gold as investment has given returns like:

Now my question is How do you view this?

Do you invest regularly in Gold?

If yes.. in which form? Physical gold, ETFs?

Does it satisfy your investment objectives?

Will you please share your experience?.........
