A lot and far better

How has technology changed your job?

My job has been changed by the introduction of computers and networks. Every prescription is computer generated. There is an account of each patient, just click and get to know the medicine history.

It helps a lot. And I really feel, it has allowed greater efficiency, more transparency and better management of patients.

A good doctor

What was the best compliment you’ve received?

There are instances when my patients come back and give me the credit of their betterment and improvement. Such words are the best compliment that I receive.

These are the times that I am full of gratitude that almighty helped my patients get better.

If you are able to bring some good change in someone’s life, what’s better than that. And if you are being praised for such an act, what’s better than this compliment.

Daily I receive such compliments in some way or other way after being in practice for almost more than 16 years. Such compliments are my actual rewards in life and keep me focussed to work better and better each day.

I am thankful to God for making me able to help my fellow beings attaining better health and relieving their sufferings to some extent.

Car

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

I would prefer a car for such a trip. I love driving and travelling with my own car gives me immense pleasure.

My father

Who is the most confident person you know?

I have known one person who is most confident and that one person is my father.

I have seen him stand like a wall in all the toughest conditions. He was not only the most confident person but he was strong in his beliefs.

He always motivated me. He taught me that we have to fight for our rights. We must work hard and consider that our work is Dharma. One must always be respectful to those around us.

He used to say, if you want to do something, no need of any reason is required, if you yourself don’t want to do something, you can put forth a thousand reasons.

One of his sayings was no work is small, you must always respect your work as it helps you sustain your family.

He is no doubt the most confident person I have ever seen. He left for his heavenly abode last year, but I feel as if he is still around through his teachings throughout my life.

Maximum possible

What books do you want to read?

Yes, I want to read all sort of books in a maximum possible number.

Whenever I read a book, something new is being known through the reading. I really feel blessed to be able to know more through any of them

I like academic books, books on sanatan, spiritual, fiction, self help books.

I know its not possible to read all of them, and before reading no one would know what’s written and how its written. The best possible way is to read them and know by yourself.

I like to be alone with a book rather than hanging out socially.

Karm is top priority

Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.

I once asked my father when I was in 10th standard ‘whom he loves most’

I was expecting the answer to be ‘your mother’ but I was astonished to hear his answer ‘my first love and priority is my work, then your mother, then my children followed by my parents and then my whole family’

I asked him ‘oh! I thought you would say mother’s name first, why is it that your work is more loved by you? ‘

His answer let me realise his vision and I got our family Mantra, ‘karma is dharma’

Let me tell you his answer. ‘My work allows me to take care of all our family needs’

In my mind

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

Clutter in mind is most important to be reduced. It not only hampers your peace of mind but also keeps you away from focusing and moving forwards.

One of my cousins says, who is almost a decade older than me, that as we clean our computers by deleting unwanted files and data, for smooth and quick functioning of our desktop or laptop, the same way we need to delete all unwanted memories from our brain.

He says that if in the past something has happened that by remembering it gives you an ache, better to delete that memory from your brain system. I was so impressed by his words that I adopted his suggestions in my life.

Quality of life could be improved by positive thoughts only.  For keeping positive thoughts, you need to weed out negative thoughts and bad memories. So the place that needs decluttering is our brain, memories and thoughts.
