Reminiscence of a Glorious Life

Who was Che?

The question here means, Che is no more. Even though he is, his seeds are in Us, in our brains, in our veins, in our ideas, through those words and actions he carved in history.

So why is he still famous, that youngsters (some hardly know his significance) still sport his iconic face in those fashionable T-shirts?

Born in a rich and affluent family in Argentina, with no hardships apparently, getting into a medical school was affordable for him. His childhood struggles were mainly against bronchial asthma. 
On the verge of completing his medical degree, why did he have to embark on a cross-continent adventure across the Latin America in his motorcycle “La podorosa” ?

Why did he feel empathy towards the sufferings of the native americans under the hands of the capitalist creed?

Why did he have to struggle for a freedom of a country, completely irrelevant and unrelated to him? (so much for the pseudo or anti-nationalism!)

Why did he choose a life full of uncertainties and surprises in the sierra mountains as a guerrilla rebel, with no medical access (given that he can get an attack of asthma, anytime)

Even after winning the independence for a foreign nation, CUBA, he could have settled there and lived out his life with his family. But he didn’t. He chose to spread the idea of revolution to the deprived and help the wanted countries of the third nation. Why?

I would say, it was his empathy for the suffering of the fellowmen, that made up his life to be an exemplary example of a modern day revolutionary.

If you carefully look upon anyone’s life, its the choices we make that decides our fate and glory. Like in Che’s, the choices he made, killed him for a short life. But then his legacy has attained an eternal life. Here we are celebrating his birthday and reading about his life and the guerrilla warfare, he devised, sporting his T-shirt and spreading the wings of revolution.

And here I am writing about someone, who I have never seen or heard but only known through words and pictures. Now thats what is called as Inspiration.

He was not chasing success or contentment! He was probably chasing his own inner voice, like all great men. The rest as they say is HISTORY!

We all have choices; The cozy ones to stay at home or the hard ones to get to the streets. But very few have had the courage to choose the right one. Che was one among them.

Long live the spirit of Revolution.
For Che.

Fly with me...

Will you follow my tail? Fly with me Take my wings free. I will take you somewhere, where there is nothing. No air to inhale, No water to quench, No body to be caged in, Nobody to envy, Nobody to hate, Everybody to love. But no way back, Yet you can traverse through the other route. Will you come? You will regret having spilt your blood here. Lets make it a memorable voyage! Falling down the Everest, Crawling through green meadows, Floating above misty clouds, Walking on transparent waters, Sleeping with minds closed, Lets derive joy from oddness. You know, the time, you were born, you didn't know, you were born. Likewise, you wouldn't know this too. Its a pleasure;Its an orgasm! Its a freedom from the bondage! How would immortals taste it? How would mortals know it? Poor world! Pathetic souls! Everything gain significance only after its loss. Its not the same with life, though the same with DEATH. Why do you fear to relish an elixir? Come, Lets invade the next Hell! P.S. I a

Just Hate This!

By at
Today was not a good day at the college..after all when had it been good when there is a viva?? I hate them so much..Bcoz the reason is I am somewhat poor in practical things..And to know why I am poor in those, my attendance will solve the mystery.. I love studying for theory exams(I really mean it!!).. Basically I love working hard .. I just love those pre-exam days when I go on without a stop for more than 14 hrs a day.. Now in this pre final, we write three subjects viz. ENT, Ophthalmology, PSM(preventive & Social Medicine).. I will appear for those in January ,probably 23rd.. So I just hate these days with no real hard things to do .. I know there's a hell of things to be known yet I don't feel like grabbing them to my brain disk.. Yes I am feeling Lazy!! And coming back to today's exam, I had to record the case from the patient and present it before the professor..the case was recorded well(courtesy:case sheet and friends!!:D:D) and when it came to presenting ,

Pricking the Porcupine

I was comfortably numb & dumb, But this atrocious crust made me succumb! How pure I was in that womb? Will my flesh decay in my tomb? The skin embossed with the spines in line, I knew , I am the porcupine! Of bleeding others , involuntarily, I feel heavy with cardiomegaly! Touching me , Why do you regret? Don't you know , its my reflex? How would you , poor mortal! Only HE knows the way I feel! The sun & the moon takes rest, but my eyes are spared from its zest! Dwelling under this blanket of gloom, now , it has become my doom! I am shutting down my heart! There's none around me unhurt! I don't wish to start to again! I would better end my lively pain! this post is to all the victims of the porcupine[thats me!];I have hurt almost everyone around me, please forgive me!! There's a hell of things pricking inside the porcupine.Trust me!! GOD SAVE ALL!!

Inebriated

Hanging by the watch's minute hand, we were exploring our own land; Too slowly crawled the clock, Our brains were fixed in a block; The state of steadiness measured in terms of pegs, we flew around with wings pinned to our legs; Out came the words from the inside, that crenelated the heart in vitro quite wide; From dumb to a chatter box, cowardice to courage, this OH-fluid made our neurones outrage; Our souls confessed our sins kneeling down, Yet our exterior dressed in the mask of a clown; We see an aureole around every face, bcoz the Inner God emerges out from the surface; We let ourselves ruled by the uninhibited subconscious, and slaughter our cruel inhibited conscious;

The Perfect SPLASH!

The sun was back deep under the ocean.It was now the turn of the moon.And the yellow monochrome light faded into dusky white and the shadows vanished into oblivion.The bright blue of the sea into dark black echoing the poorly inflamed orb. On the other side of the ocean were a couple of shadows crawling on the lonely shores.Of their shadows ,one was lengthier and the other a bit shorter.But the shadows of their souls were very much similar and seemed to merge inside each other. ZOOMING IN VIA GOOGLE EARTH... After a brief walk on the sand hardened by the galloping tears of the ocean, we turned back to see our own footprints fighting to triumph over the waves of time.I said, " we will last an eternity living in serenity" , the only time I used my tongue to converse ,that evening. She smiled at me and we held hands and walked towards the small table, interlocked. TRIIIINGGGGG....screeched something in my pocket.I took it out and switched it off. "Honey , what was that?&

Life in a Medico's Shoes

By at
Prologue: What do you think of medicos??They are exceptional hard workers striving for more than 18 hrs a day and barely sleep the stipulated 6 hrs.Brilliant,bright,eminent,excellent etc..Is this what you think of medicos?? If yes, give a second thought and read the following with eyes wide open.If no, still you will have to read with eyes slightly open atleast the epilogue. Inside the four walls , there were some teenagers sitting in rows and columns deserting the anterior segments of the wooden furnitures. Most of them were staring into a black painted canvas where the eldest of the experienced campaigner was playing his magic with one hand with the brush and his cacophonous yet seducing voice from his habituated vocal cords. 1-Behind the empty front row of wood, some look as if being hypnotized by the spell of the professor. As calm as the wise, rock as the diamond , they stay unmoved, uninhibited even by the flies ,parked over their nose ,showering the millions of infectious path
