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
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.
Cleared Up.

My weekend started with a facial appointment and haircut on Friday evening, which meant a busy afternoon and evening so dinner had to be simple. Pizza with … Continue reading Weekend
Fearless
Knaresbrough. Exposure and Knowledge is everywhere. Pros and cons are written down. Ticks and crosses on the sheet of paper. Conclusion is reached. Why do we question so much? Why can’t we just go for it? Should friends and family opinions matter? Who is it that we have to answer to? Inner peace can be … Continue reading Fearless
Enthusiasm for hometown.
It has been six months since I saw my mother and I could feel in conversations that she would like me to come again. I was looking at holidays and ticket prices to go for a short trip. UK to India needs some planning. Holidays would coincide with other colleagues and ticket prices were too … Continue reading Enthusiasm for hometown.
Interfere !!
Photo by August de Richelieu on Pexels.com Growing up in Patna, capital of Bihar in India, has been one the greatest experiences for me. I lived in a big family home with lots of people around me.
