My friend, my notebook

Ah!! Finally going to write something on a blank white page. The feeling of being away from my blog was pathetic, and more painful was sitting in front of the white blank screen of my laptop, with a wish to write something. So many thoughts were coming up in my mind, I wanted to write them down, words were like in front of my eyes, but I was not able to string them together into a sentence. Also I needed some time to sit back, relax and think to fill up the blank page. My profession is so demanding and I was hardly getting any chance to do that since last few months. May be my laptop was also unhappy for me, because the motherboard crashed. And I had to wait for few more days to publish my blog post. My friends suggested me to buy a new laptop than repairing this one, because the cost of repairing the motherboard would be same as buying a lower configuration laptop. But there is this one problem in me, I become too emotionally attached with the gadgets that I use. And it hurts me a lot to replace those gadgets until they are irreparable. I bought a Samsung galaxy series phone last year, android operating system is real fun, but still I always use my old Nokia N-series phone. My laptop is only two years old and with good configuration. I was not willing to replace it with a new laptop of lower configuration. My friends make joke of my attachment with my gadgets. I also sometimes think that it's time to replace the old ones with the new ones, but should we throw away the old ones even if it is functioning ? I really can't do this. I had to replace the motherboard.

Writing has always been my passion. When I was in school, since then writing is my hobby.  At that time, I only got chance to write something while writing those essays in my exams. But that was limited because I had to think about the impression of my writing on the examiner and obviously,

Searching for Identity

Last week, I went to Darjeeling with family. No need to mention anything more about Darjeeling. It's a great colonial town made by British government, the signs of which can be seen today also. We hired a cab for local sight seeing. The cab driver was gorkha. First, he started to behave badly with us, and stopped the car even before going uphill to the peace pagoda and told us to walk upto the pagoda. It was a long walk uphill, and other vehicles were going upwards to a certain point about 500 meters from where we were standing. So we got into the car and requested him to move further upto that point. He said that if you have come to hills, then you must have to walk. But we remained silent as he was moving the car forwards. He rode to the hill and we visited peace pagoda.

Why fake illness ?

I hate people faking illness for taking advantages. An employee faking it for not going to the office and getting false medical certificate paying money ; an wife, a daughter-in-law or a mother-in-law faking it for not doing household work and let other people at home do it; a husband faking it for not going out with his wife and watch a cricket match..a student faking it for not doing homework..a person faking it to avoid going to a get-together..another person faking it for drawing attention and so on.... I do not like them and all those people who fake illness for even the most trivial cause. 

I would like to tell those people-- only for once, ask a person who has been really suffering from major illness, what illness really is, before faking it again next time. 

That person who has been receiving Cancer-chemotherapy for years, that person who's been taking Methotrexate for Psoriasis, that person who's been taking anti-epileptic drugs or anti-diabetic drugs, that person who's been fighting with H.I.V. with medicines and all those people who have to take regular medications to get relieved from symptoms of chronic diseases-- only they understand how much painful an illness is. 

They cannot stop taking medication or else their disease will recur, and also they suffer from side-effects of those medicines. Very few people give-in, rest of them are fighting, hats off to them. I respect those people who are fighting with serious illnesses. If you do not want to do something, then discuss it with that person who is concerned, you'll find a way out.. But please do not fake illness..illness is very painful..
