A week of decisions.

I have made a few major decisions this last week and not necessarily in the order of importance.
1.I have finished my appraissel which the hospital authorities wanted me to get done because it was due.They were kind enough to request GMC to postpone my validation for the next year.
2.I enrolled into a sour dough pizza making session in London for which I travel to London in another hour or so.
3.I enrolled into a chopstick making and designing session,all of seven hours in dovetail design studio in Battersea.I am pretty excited about it.I dream of having a small workshops like that promoting skilled artisans back home ,if the Lord wills it.
4.I have comitted myself to helping out in Samaritan's purse hospital in Molunguri,Bangladesh for a month after I finish here in the UK.
5.I have booked a holiday with my sibling and my niece in Somersett,before I leave for home.I was dilly-dallying deciding where we could go and had requested my family to pray about it.One fine day Somersett came to my mind and I got a reservation for 14 days in half the price in spring.Amazing,praise God.
6.I am joining Kachwa Christian Hospital in UP once I am back in India,which should be in August.
That seems like a lot of decisions.....I pray for God's pace and his presence every step of the way.

Image of Christ.

 There is nothing more scarier than a heart that has hardened .I was talking to Mary the other day,infact weeping with her There is a deep restlessnessness inside.Thank God for it becuase it shows that I have not resigned myself to the way things are.I was telling her I miss the deep experience of seeing the image of Christ and the compassion of the Holy spirit which just used to overwhelm  my heart when I saw the image of Christ in people ,situation and the creation. What is the image of Christ?It is a body marred and maimed to bear the sin of the world.it is a voice that did not speak in protest against God the father,who actually planned it all before the creation of the world,not against the people who maimed Him ,flogged Him,drove the nails into His hands and feet to satisfy their sinful nature.The image of Christ is a body broken  to the utmost yet given to feed the very same people .It is a love that did not count the cost. I am a person who does not put too much v...

Gift of Life...

  I  realise  I am a beauty junkie. Always on the lookout for the experience that brings tears of awe to your person. I guess it is all right because there is just one life to live and as would have it I would like to live it to the fullest.I  have travelled a bit and I have a whole bucket list unticked yet.Some things I call it my short life,I still cherish forever. I have had the experience to meet up and get close to exceptional people ,some of them extremely rare species who stick out from the crowd. One such friend during my early years just looked across the bench to me and said something which has stuck with me forever. Having been to Auroville in Pondicherry, one suddenly exclaimed,' There is a glass crystal in Auroville, when the sunlight falls on it  it reflects the light beautifully and it is breathtaking to say the least. You should see it.The crystal reminded me of you.'I have not seen that crystal till date but I remember the eyes of the person whe...

Just Listening.....

All of eighty and delirious ,the old Pandit shuflled for his Janeu(Sacred ceremonial thread according to hinduism which the brahmins tie around their person).Two devoted sons tried to wrestle him down to his bed.He had a diaper on ,and a catheter but was insisting deliriously that he wanted to use the toilet.Suddenly he picked up his thread and put two loops around his ear.The sons interpreted that he wanted to pass stool.This was a learning for us. Another time another man in his eighty came in screaming with chest pain.He had extensive anterior wall MI .My junior colleague managed him well.His ST elevation had reverted ,his pulse rate was well controlled and he was comfortably seated by the time we saw him for the morning rounds.By the afternoon he complained of chest pain and then went into a supraventricular tachycardia but his hemodynamics held, so we medically managed him.He was by nature a comfortable man.He shared that he was ready to die.We got talking to him one afternoon.He ...
