Numbers from today. 'Time to stand', beeps on my watch as I am taking a serious focussed history from a patient. Now how do I get my minute of standing? I quickly make the examination part brought forward in order to get the stand hour complete. I sometimes tell my patient, I really must get … Continue reading Apple numbers

Royal Ascot
Saree and Fascinator. A day at the Royal Ascot was exceptional. Best English weather, best attire, great food and drinks, in the company of friends, what more can you ask for. Planning started eleven months ago. We were not sure if we could go in sarees but then organiser found out that it was allowed. … Continue reading Royal Ascot
Jubilee Celebrations.
My homage. I got asked to write a poem for the platinum jubilee celebrations by my manager. My mind running many miles per hour produced this within fifteen minutes as the deadline was QUICK. I always enjoy writing and loved doing this piece too. It says it all. Hope you all like it.
Mangoes.
Advert for India. I do crave for mangoes when I see the boxes from India. In UK we can find them in few places during summer time. My daughter brought back a box from Leicester. I ate one mango, which completely transported me back to Patna. Malda is the variety of mango we get in … Continue reading Mangoes.

Vulnerable!!!
High temperatures, headaches, stomach cramps and diarrhoea are symptoms I hear quite often from patients and I am able to advise as per their needs. This week, however, I got these symptoms myself.

Living with Covid
Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com Covid Infection is all around but we are at least living with it to some extent in a bit normal way.

Photo by Dids on Pexels.com Felt like writing, so started. We are still doing Covid tests as our jobs entail us to do twice a week. Every time I do one I am nervous. We have had quite a few patients telling us they have been positive. They are getting well and that is a … Continue reading Just like that.
