World provides us with so many contrasts today as it has never done before. Was witness to one such striking contrast recently at a famous hospital in Jubille Hills Hyderabad. A casual vitamin defieciency check opened up insight into many passing blessings in life that i overlooked or simply ignored.
The waiting Lawn for my general physician shared the same lobby as that of a Gynec (quite famous i assume considering the crowd). 'Gazing at people is my hobby almost' irrespective of age/gender/situation/style/ethnic ...I think it is my character more than hobby(LOL).
But it was disturbing on that day for me to watch through the many eyes that looked at us constantly and some trying not to look at us(contrasts!). Praveen moved out a little to pay some bills and the person next to me opened up the conversation..
Hi....how many months are you carrying?
(Me: WTF...i wanted to take a sword and cut that paunch/rice sack/belly that is so determined not to leave me...)
Already feeling lightheaded i answered politely, No mam, I'm here for a casual health check up.
She: Oh! ok. So do you have kids?
I: Yeah I do have one. (Thinking about that cute little energy booster/drainer (contrasts again :))
She: Nice. How is it like to have a kid.
I: hmm....we need to talk for atleast 3 days for me to answer that question. But yeah in short it is splendid.
She: I dont think I am prepared for it yet. you know i am going to THE USA next month and that has been the goal i am chasing all my life...
I: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! OK i get why you are here. All the best.
(I frowned not liking that conversation and blame my already Dizzi head...I cut that lady rudely turned to the other side of wall and closed my eye lids)
I opened my eyes when Praveen told we need to wait for the Doc. NP I can sleep in almost any posture..even standing in a bus :)
Another Old Woman:
Hi, Is it morning sickness? These things are common in first trimester.
Me: Too bored and weak to explain I am NOT NOT NOT pregnant, i gave a helpless smile.
Old Woman: We have been visiting this Gynec for last 5 years, she is very good. I am here with my daughter, we are waiting for her to bear a seed since last 5 years.
She goes on...these days people dont want girls, working women abort (the doc has educated her), after delivery they leave the kids in day care. God bestows them with children. But we are waiting for one since last 5 years and he has no mercy.
She goes on.. When you deliver you should stay with your child ma...you should nurse the baby for atleast 18 months. Girl or boy dont try to find, any kid is a boon. you should not stop with 1 go for 1 more, they need company.
My already Dizzy head was spinning toooooo fast now. I decided not to interrupt.
My turn came and i went to the physician...
Doctor: All results normal ma...I dont know of any disease from these results. May be Vitamin D and B12 can help...
Me: OMG i spent 50K man...
Doctor: Yes, you could be at stress or in depression. You should consider working less and relax.
Me: Thank you Doc. Thats worth a suggestion for 50K. (i was feeling terribly stressed and depressed over the 50K. My heart laughed at me: What? were you expecting some terrible thing all because you sepnt 50K)
I came out and crossed ways with the young IT proff: Very sad and in tears, Doc denied a clean up
I turned the corridor to see the old lady: No luck this time also ma...
I was feeling more stressed!!! CONTRASTS...God can reduce the contrasts a little...
Ameen...
