punters in pavagada

--INSIGHT--

Twins msged me that they wer kmin to my place.i boasted myself to me for having convinced them to km to this place 160kms from namma bengaluru.welkmed twins n led them to our room.sensed something wrong for they wore a dejected look on their face.hmmm.they had lost mobile en route to my place..alas..twins so careless!?!?to b true i felt happy.dont know y but i turned to b a saddist @that moment.me n puneeth my co-intern forced them to trek up the fortified hill on that evening.as they started to ascend the hill their sorrow began to descend n on the hill top the beautiful sunset,ruins of the fort,birdview of the city n ourselves-al nearly antagonised their gloomy,melancholy cognitions..this soon waned off n the mobile thought encroached them.emotions ran high just like newly wed couples in ashada masa.v later went to lord saneswara temple n appealed him to help them find their mobile..they left us @ 11.30 in the nyt in pursuit of their mobile...n95

--STORY AARAMBAM--

intenship is akin to a year long sentence in jail werin u hardly get time for urself.this picture had creeped deep into me but soon realized not to be so wen i n puneeth amaresh wer posted to pavagada for 15 dAYS.v travelled by ksrtc for 5hrs via dabaspete-koratagere-madugiri-madaksira to reach this kannada administered but telgu influenced region.made our way to svirhc in the scorching sun.met dr.prashanth n then threw ourselves on to the bed hitting the sack early in the evening.to my bad luck i hardly slept failing to combat mosquito menace .the dry warm air kept my sweat glands running..

monday blues had preponed on saturday .the day was sedated.had a good nyt sleep.

climbed the hill behind the hospital on sunday dawn.explored new paths to ascend the boulder-shrubs trodden hill.felt giddy n so shelved the plan to reach top in the midway.freshened ourselves v went to watch sakti movie n had a platter of chiken.v made our day

svirhc-swami vivekananda integrated rural health centre estd 1992 by japanandaji since its inception has been serving the humanity in its vicinity.tb,leprosy,blindness,maternal n child nortality r the vital evils against which its been striving hard.it also undertakes phc in venkatapura,gudibande in andhra n a hospital on wheels.i worked their for 15days n learnt a lot wrt leprosy,ictc,tb n administration.was given charge of a medical officer of phc in andhra n discharged my duties efficiently in the context of my authority.visited skools in andhra n treated the sick children.went to naxal infected regions in pavagada n treated patients ovr their.celebrations of swami n puneeth bday .food prepared by our gur-goroo bhatta.injection addicted patients.overall i enjoyed this new avenue in my life.

v wit my cousins went on a picnic to lepakshi abt 65kms.built in mid 1500 by virupanna ,a feudal of achyutadevaraya,the deity there is veerabhadra swamy.agastya maharishi is said to have done penance here.the nagalinga-the bull-the sculptures al wer a treat to watch.v literally wer in mid1500,thrown 6centuries back by the time machine.the fineness of the sculpture stunned-dumbfolded me.

me n puneeth went on a stroll each nyt quarellin-pighting-chatting wit our frns on pone-it was then v kame to know abt ourselves better.v bonded well amidst differences in taste,personalities

also prashanth sr,nagaraj sr,anjanappa sr blended well wit us.they made our working environment better.

last nyt in pavagada-something in me kept popping up disturbing me.v had accomplished everything v had conceptualised to b done in pavagada except for climbing full the hill witch v had conquered half earlier.last day i started scaling it alone usin an alternate path witch i had zeroed upon ovr these 15days.@the end of 2hr i reached the top n screamed out loudly wit zeal n enthusiasm @ top of my voice to tell the whole world that my----------------------------- mission pavagada-accomplished!!!!

arhate-arogya tapasane n anganwadi

Back home after 10 hrs of outin-savourin the aroma of darjeeling tea i slipped into the sweet memories of the day which meanderingly embraced me.

after a squat regardin the mode of transportation v had 2 use to reach sondekoppa p.h.c-my boys finally zeroed in on bikes.me-rasna raghu-punneth finally reached the destiny where we had 2 report ,cruising on semi pukka roads for over 30kms.dr.srinivas [m.o. n owner of innova]who initially looked hostile later congenially assigned 9 anganwadis [anganwadi is a centre for preskool learnin n nutrition monitered by anganwadi workers].we reached hunnigere 3km from phc,wer v did the health assesment of the kids.n then headed 2wards another anganwadi n this cykle of ignitin n killin the ignition of our bikes continued for another 6 hrs.in these 6hrs my emotion quotient al of a sudden scaled new heights.

the very look of kids-avara innocent mukagalu namma kolatiruva manasugalu-avara a muddu nagu galu-tuntatta galu-kalmasha rahita manasugalu-toys thrown higgledy piggledy-peri oral area smeared wit dried food-saliva dribbling-moogu soring-fingering into nose removin dry nasal mucous-afraid of doktors fearin that they would give injections-chukkles n their giggles-cryin in chorus wen v approach them for examination n gettin consoled easily wen given choclates-little finger slowly unveiling amidst fist indicatin to empty the bladder-rhyming in unison-abiding after teachers awaaz-----------------------------.................

havin spent 6-7hrs wit them v regressed ourselves into these tiny tots leavin behind our pain n gain.we were rejuvenated.

returned home light hearted but wishin those golden days would return .

i envy those kids for my wish of havin that golden days back is a beautiful mirage...

swami saranam

swamiye ayyappo,ayyappo swamiye
swami tindaka tome tome-ayappa tindaka tome tome
deva ne devi ye,devi ye deva ne
ishwara ne ishwari ye,ishwari ye ishwara ne
irumudi kattu sabarimalaiki-sabarimalaki irumrdi kattu
swamiye saranam ayyappoo......

the above hymn began gaining in intensity,reverberatin as v approached the 18steps leadin into the lord ayyappa's devaswom.suddenly our adrenaline shot up several fold maskin our fatigue n wit god's grace we succesfully ascended the 70 deg inclined steps witout any hurdle.

I had watched this in kannada movie 'manikantana mahime' n each yr while watchin makara jyoti in tv ,my desire of goin to sabarimalai overwhelmed.this long nurtured prayer of mine was finally answered by manikanta on jan11 wen (me swamy,kalli[k] swamy,pagella[p] swamy,rasna[r] swamy,anand[a] swamy) 5 of us wore 'mala' in a temple in sajjan rao cirkl n transferred ourselves transiently from bein calld by nicknames to bein calld as swamis. v now had great responsibilities of maintainin the sanctity of 'mala' by gettin up befor sunrise,havin a cold watr bath twice-dawn n dusk,goin to temple n offerin pooja,walkin bare foot,abstainin from smokin-alkoaloo-n above all maintainin our "v".v kanya swamis tried our best.

jan12-irumudikattu was made by guru swamis which consistd of coconut filled wit ghee,rice,kunkuma arisina.we then set our theerta yatra in 'a' swamis zen car.'p'swamii acceleratd till krsnagiri for he succumbed to his anger which budded out of a quarrel b/w him n 'a' swami .latr i took control of wheels till dundigal.we then savoured bibibele bath [bbb],curd rice prepared by 'p'swamis amma-whose significance we latr realizd in the yatra wer v were devoid of good food.kuble aunty..

'a' swami latr covrd most of the distance inspite of quarrelli of grt intensity wit 'k' swami ovr wer to halt that night.but latr all 5 swamis came to consensus of travellin @ nt.kudos to 'p'swamy for effectivly managin the ghat sectn.by around 2 in the mornin we reachd sabarimalai n by god's grace got parkin space @1km from foothills.[durin sabarimala pilgrimage its difficult to get parkin space n have to park vehikls10-30km from foothills]toilets in sabarimala wer @ their usual worst. takin 3 holy dip in pampa rivr v loadin our respectiv irumudis on our head @ 6 ,headed uphill 8km-chikka pada-. initial 4km was apparantely free of crowd but last 4 km was the test of our patience-swami saranam

v wer locked in barricades as part of crowd control strategy durin which v met many kannada swamis most of them from badravati addin to 'k' n 'r' swami's pride.furthr ayyappa testd our temperment threshold wen the lane nxt to us nvr stood stagnant n our's nvr flowed.it was 24hrs since we last fed ourslvs.by ayyapas grace n palgun swamis amma's bbb[ate 24hrs back] n the very energetic cosmos of the holy place v could tide ovr the crisis.

7 in the evnin, 13hrs since v set off our ascent to sabarimala,wit irumudi on our head n havin lost the sensatn of it[bluntin of pressure receptors],v finally entrd the devaswom climbin the 18 sacred steps n our praisin of lord shied the thunder in skies.7.20 @@@last v finally had the darshan of 'manikanta'clad wit flowrs in the sanctam sanctorum lit only wit deepa's addin to the mesmerisin beauty n for that moment v forgot all our pains.

danyosmi swami navella danyosmi

as v came out of the temple i sighed out of contentment for my childhood dream of cmin on a yatra to sabarimalai was fulfilled by the swami.

v then finished the othr rituals of the yatra n had broke our apparent fastin[for v had eaten few grams]n climbed down the hill.1.30 in the night v came nr our car wer 'a' swamy was waitin for us.......'a' swami could not stand in the q for the fatso had lost stamina n took spl permission from the police n had the darshan n had come back to parkin lot by 8.he had only 100rs which he had spent on sandals.he was waitin there since 8.......the pitiful fact was that car was his,he had the mobile n money, but evrtin the car ky ,his mobile,his wallet was wit us.8-1.30 he had to wait in the cold nit.

as v approached the car 'a' swami stood in the way n i could sense some masculine adrenaline pumped reactn from him .intense"matina chakamaki"b/w 'p' n 'a' n 'k' swamis usin f*#$ word.'r' swami tried his best to pacify the situatn but notin could stop the saliva spurtin out of 'a' mouth just like lava from a volcano.i was a silnt spectator.bcoz of this turbulence in our relatnship 'a' swami slept in his car n v on a open air papr bed.

14 jan-nxt mornin wen evrtin had pacified n our emotions bein streamlined all the 5 swamis again bound togthr had the worst breakfast.it was anothr day i had aspired for--the makara jyothi[star] n makaravillaku[celestial light lit in the erumaley forest by the tribesmen]-- to watch this around 30 lakh devotees had thronged the sabarimala premesis.it can be watched eithr from the hill,or pampa,or pulimedu.v went to pampa rivr bank n @ 7.05p.m v saw the divine light.

it was of greaat solace to my soul

v then hurried to our parkin lot to go out of sabarimala @ the earliest,for to escape the traffic jam.but the police had blockd our way out.as v wer restin in our car in the parkin lot,v heard siren of an ambulance.latr the frequency of ambulance movin around increased.v thought of some minor incidents,injuries which r common wen peopl r in such huge nos.my fathr calld me then n told that some tragedy of high human mortality n morbidity has happnd wich he came across a news channel.v immediatly enquired the local police.stampede causin human loss of 100 n more had occured @ pulimedu.by ayyapas grace v had cancelled our plans of goin to pulimedu to watch makara jyothi the previous day.let all those who died,their souls rest in peace.

jan 15-v then left sabarimala @1 in the mornin n reached madurai @10 n headed 2wards avaniyapuram to watch 'jallikattu'.havin reached bengaluru @7 v got freshed up in 'p'swamis house n headed 2wards sajjan rao cirkle ayyapa temple from wer we had put our malas.the priest took off the malas n thus v successfully completed our yatra.swami saranam

this yatra fulfilled my childhood dream,blended all 5 swamis 2gethr,gave us an oppurtunity to realise how strong v wer[fastin,walkin barefoot in the forest,cold watr bath,standin in the q for 14hrs,n moreover made us mentally strong to face all atrocities in life.

i strongly recommend all my frns to @least go on a sabarimalai yatra once in life.

... swamiye saranam ayyappa ...

nanu obba doctor a???ahh ahhh ahhhh!!

i pruthvi raj.v, would like to make an humble confession.havin grown up listenin to my mother's wishes, very often, to make her son a doktor to serve the community

my father also had dreams of me becomin a good doc-but rarely revealed it

my sis also persuaded me to become a doc

i sowed the seed to bekom a vaidya-considered noblest profession on earth

toiled all 2ru puc-cet ,n n n n

day arrived wen the sowed seed sprouted n mushroomed into a plant-got into finest medical institutn

baskin in the glory of success i neglected the tough weather ahead-failed misreably to protect the plant-cheated myself,compromised my study time for non productive things,bekame a slave of laziness..

no pain no gain-but for me mbbs was a painless gain[passed each exams wit minimun effort n by divine intervention]

n now elkoloke nan obba mbbs padavidara?!?! Egu unte...

evn @ the end of my course, am as new to this, as i was, 4yrs back.enu kisililla..
the plant that once upon a time was bearin fruits exuberantly has suddenly lost its vigour -to evryones surprise..but this..this is the beginnin of my story for..
kattalinda belakige yatre saagide-have refuelled lost zeal,revitalised n assure u all that
i shall bekome that kind of tree-a kalpavruksha{coconut tree;every part from its root to jute is useful}which evryone had dreamt off me.

komon putta-ARISE,AWAKE N STOP NOT TILL U REACH THE GOAL..ALL POWER IS WITHIN U N U R THE ARCHITECT OF UR DESTINY.

shelved morality

24/7 news channels have mushroomed 2wards sky in india n r no way behind their intl counterparts.these days wenevr u flick tru them only thing that flashes on screen is-scam .these shameless,suvars,scam endorsed netas{due respect to mr.clean netas}have put their self intst beyond the nation's intrst .2 great pm india has evr seen-lal bahadur sastriji n atal bihari vajpayeeji.sastriji who was a railway minister in nehru cabinet had resigned on grounds of morality followin a train accident even witout bein demanded by the oppositn.he had set a benchmark then so has to how a neta is to be-on whom his people would have had great hopes.this was the suvarnayuga of indian politics.
In contrast to scenario then,the present condition is chindi chitrana........
scam n netas r a inseparable lot,a mole which every neta now must n should have.
the 3G rajas,the CWG kalmadis,the bellary reddys,the yeddys have together set eddy currents in the country's politiks.the presnt turmoil continues its of no surprise that people may opt for communism rather for democracy.democracy now means-by the people(vote),later
-for the netas{power}
-to their kith n kin{money}
these sick ticks really suck.no political ethics bein followed.no fear for law nor for their people who elect them.
politiks me aisa kya chamatkar ye?
but now its time to shelve this image n put nations intrst than self,n to upheld the morality,righteousness.
let bharat bloom n let its fragrance be felt evrywer

Bein medicos v r to be greatful to two genre of persons .first our teachers who share their clinical trail n error knowledge with us.next equally important r our patients who r our clinical resource n on whom the entire mbbs course relay upon.all these yrs v have been learnin from our patients n it wont be an irony if i say that v too EXPLOIT them.wen v get a case say wit good cvs n rs findins then everyone from almosy evry unit examines him further addin to his morbidity.v were SELFISH but with good intention of learnin.seen their sufferin n wen they share their problems wit us v sympatheise them n show our back to them n vacant the place.

but now the time has arrived-the internship.....EXPRESS UR GRATITUDE...
its in this period v have to METAMORPHOSIZE FROM BEIN SELFISH TO SELFLESSNESS.BE HUMANE TO OUR PATIENTS.EXPRESS THE DIVINITY OF HUMANITY. BE REAL HUMANS
V have to be EMPATHETIC-puttin sympathy into axn
n this cherished dream of ours can be realisied by workin as n under an organisation -a NGO
few of my frns have started a ngo under which funds will be collected from the members n their frns,foes.the fund so raised wil be mobilised towards the needy patients.
SO I HEARBY REQUEST ALL MY FRNS WHO READ THIS TO BE PART OF THIS N.G.O

LOST MOBILE-RESURFACED

edavat aytu tale kett oytu

this foot tappin song from jackie suits the prelude to my story.

15-10-10 day before ayud pooja,fathr had promised to accompany me to enthiran-rajni's latest flick but failed to do so.havin been drained,frustrated wit series of intrnls i too got angry n decided to watch jackie 10.p.m show(show beyond my family limits).wit great difficulty got tickets for me n my cousin n enjoyd the movie so also the song(prelude)lest to know that it would be very much applicable in next few hrs.came out of navrang(theatre)cherishing the songs n on my way home suddenly slipped my hand into pocket -stunned n afraid to know that my cell had been kidnapped by an unknown.he had switched off the cell.immediately lodged the complaint @rajajinagar police statn@1in midnight sure of the fact that cell n sim were lost forever.next day a msg was posted to my fathers cell from an unknown no n my cell impei no.then the option of "mobile tracker" which i had activated in my cell struck n got to know the no of the kidnapper {mr b} .went to nearby airtel office n blocked my sim n queried regardin the address of the mr.b which they denied to disclose.latr @ night around 8 i myslf calld mr.b disguisin as an bpo employer from airtel verifyin his address n he frankly told me his adda which i confirmed twice.nxt day accompanyin me were my unkle(lawyer) n police constable of crime branch.we went to his place aftr a long searh{kurubrahalli} n took him to the statn.witin few minutes his relatives n frnds who wer membrs of krv[karnataka rakshana vedika]kame to statn which made my heart pacin,forehead sweatin n sense of bladdr fulness[though it was void].metr down maga.but latr police managed to send them back.they returned back my lost mobile.forcin me to bribe 100rs n police had askd mr.b to pay 5k if they were not to file a case against him.@last felt happy n this gave me an experience of what a police statn actually is.i had shut all my critics my sis the most.

jackie

the film had a lot of expectations coz it was an amalgamatn of puneeth n suri,lyrics penned by yograj n music by harikrsna.songs of this film were good n had further pumped the adrenaline of his fans to a new high.jackie shot in suri's style but sculpted to punith's image backed by zabardast performance by all artists is a must watch for all powr star fans.special mentn abt the editor who has craftd the movie, nevr lettin u down amidst.heroine has provided justice to hr charactr.yograj's denovo idiopathic lyrics r well tuned by harikrsna.no doubt that it shall bring back the lost crowd of kannada movies.

raj the show man

after the film was hyped so much by everyone me along with my family had been 2 watch it in veeresh theatre .the tickets were purchased in black by me AGAINST MY PARENTS WISH.on coming out of the theatre i decided not 2 heed for any such gimmicks for the film was not up 2 the expectations.
