Turn on any channels on weekdays at any time, you will see
the same heavily jewellery clad women, with heavy makeup even while coming out
of washrooms. Turn on any channel, you will see those conspiracy, rape,
killings as if there is no law in land.
At 10.30 on
weekdays, came a very invigorating change in the name of Yudh. A very delectably
new programme starring Amitabh Bachchan has made a name in just the first few
episodes. Amitabh Bachchan at his customary very best can make you emotional in
the emotional scenes, can you make you cry at his vulnerability. TV viewing has
never been same since then.

Being a Safety SPOC for my Circle, my responsibility is manifold. Role varies from Safe Driving, Safe working environment, Safe living, following safety rules while working in high altitude area like towers, billboards etc.
I found the most dangerous among these is talking in cell phone while driving. I have made it a practice not to use my handset while driving. I always park my Car aside and talk if it is a very urgent call and need my instant attention. Sadly I have found, these days, almost 75% of people enjoy talking while driving. The mass constitutes people from all age group. While I don't expect much from the older people, but at least the new generation should avoid talking while driving. We don’t understand the repercussions but this action might put someone’s life in danger. Please don’t use your cell phone while driving.

| Two days before the accident |
It was 10:05pm of 16th May, when he got down from the car. My eyes were on his feet, whether if he is limping. I could sense, he was either hiding the pains, or was too nervous. Quite a few hospital staffs were waiting to take him inside. I walked up to him, hold his hand bring him inside the hospital. While holding his hand, I could feel he was very nervous but he was hiding everything, the pains, the nervousness. Outside he was looking very confident.
When we went inside the Casualty of Ayush Hospital, they checked his feet and went inside the chamber and started discuss. Entire family & relatives were around him and he was feeling as if he has done some kind of achievement. While the time passed, he became nervous and started asking, “Papa, they won’t operate me, right”. I kept telling him that no operation is needed.
At around 10:30pm, Dr Swain, the neurosurgeon reached, checked him and confirmed that there is a blood clot in his brain but there is nothing to worry about. Operation isn’t needed and he will be cured in medicines only. They would keep him under observation for two days.
He was shifted to ICU immediately. By next day, half of the hospital knew him. He kept asking few questions in several different ways to various hospital staffs basically to understand whether he is being operated or not. He used to check all his hospital papers himself, would read them carefully before they were passed on to us, would ask questions wherever he had any doubt. He kept asking about other patients besides his bed and their medical conditions. When I went to see him, around Noon next day, he asked me, “Papa, what is partial hanging?”. I was shocked and asked him why.
He told me that the lady besides his bed has a case of Partial hanging. I explained him that this lady perhaps attempted suicide and failed. On 18th morning around 9:30am, doctor told us that he will be operated and surgery needs to be done immediately as the Clot keeps growing in size. The panic showed in the face of entire family. Suddenly I was told that he wants to see me. I went to ICU. He asked me to hold his hand. The question next moment brought out tears from my eyes. He asked, “Papa, are they going to operate me?”. I said, “no, I won’t allow then to operate you at any cost.” He was satisfied with my response.
After around two hours, he was taken to Operation Theater. On the door of the OT he stopped the attendants and wanted to see me again. His question again was the same. I denied that he won’t be operated and he will only have a Scan. After an hour, he was out of OT. While coming out, he was very depressed and told me, “Papa, they operated me”. I couldn’t suppress my tears anymore.

| Two days before the accident |
Days passed and he showed enormous strength to get out of the pains. He had few post surgery complications like urine infection, blood infection, typhoid etc and had to be brought back to hospital again & again for next few weeks.
I can’t write all that he has done during those days to become what he is today.
All I want to say is he is truly, my son, my hero, my 13 year old Harsh.

There is a differnce between "Can not" and "Do Not". Can not shows your fears whereas Do Not shows your intention to be in peace because you don't want to do certain things that might shake off your inner peace.
Doormat is a word normally used for people who are ill-treated and never able to retaliate. But then we should never forget that Doormat Can not retaliate. And someone who do not retaliate doesn't mean that he can not retaliate. It might be just that they value their peace more than arguements. It also might be because they have always been insecure, introvert and sometimes failures in their life.
When you are born to a family where everyone else is successful, well settled and you are still rooting for your wings, it is quite natural that you will be insecure. When you have to depend on others for your livings, it is very natural that you will be insecure. Your priority always would be to settle down, not to fight over stuffs.
