| Words: 271 PROMPT ▼ You probably haven't heard his name. That's because he isn't out to make a name for himself. He's out to do what he does best - eye surgeries. My surgeon, Dr. Mahesh Shanmugham, is a miracle worker. He performs dozens of eye surgeries (specialising in retina) in a day, and over the weekend, the hospital he works at does 300 charity surgeries for those who can't afford to pay. He is very good at what he does - and is one of the kindest human beings I know. Through all the data he has to keep in his head about his patients, he never forgets that they are human beings. He knows that my Dad has bad knees, and when Dad accompanies me for a check up, Dr. Mahesh makes sure he gets good chairs. If I have to be admitted, he makes sure the room has good facilities for the attender, too! Dr. Mahesh goes abroad on lecture tours to many countries and has students from different countries come and intern with him. I've met many interesting medical interns at his hospital. He teaches them not only the work, but his kindness, too. Everyone in his department is wonderful with nervous patients and anxious attenders. They are gentle and caring, no matter how many other cases they have to get through that day. I think that's a true role model. He's excellent at his work, he doesn't go for fame but only for letting the work speak for itself, he creates an atmosphere that is best for those who need it, within his environs. I'm blessed to have him as my Doctor. |
| Locking up is not the answer. I know, crime should not happen. Crime hurts the victim, it hurts society, it hurts the perpetrator and her / his family. The answer lies in eliminating (or, at least, minimising) crime - not in putting individual criminals away. To do that, we must first understand why crime happens. Emotional instability? Financial stress? Greed? Keeping-up-with-the-Joneses? Economic injustice? Once the reasons are pinpointed, steps must be taken to remedy the situation. We need to have an atmosphere in which crime cannot take root. If people don't need or want to commit crime, they won't. Individuals who feel loved, secure and worthwhile don't commit crime. Let every individual feel loved, secure and worthwhile. With careful planning, with everyone on board, it can be done. A note about punishments and deterrents: Let's work for a world in which these are not needed. Criminals, in any case, feel confident of not being caught at the time of planning the crime. The punishment will not put them off then - they're not going to face it anyway. So let's create homes, schools, colleges and work-spaces where people feel they bleong, where they feel secure, and let's render the jails redundant! Words: 199 PROMPT ▼ ?   |
If I could change the taste of regret Its new flavour would be endeavour from the bitter to the sweet peace and healing forever. If I could change the taste of defeat Its new flavour would be learning from the raw to the seasoned with passion always burning. If I could change the taste of anger Its new flavour would be understanding empathy taking each circumstance from indigestible to appetizing If I could change the taste of fear Its new flavour would be security Working through the nausea To a state of bon apetit. Taste is not just on the plate or palate It's not just in tongue or lips Its weight is in the heart and mind Not just the tummy or hips! Taste the food, taste the air Taste everything around you So many tastes to share So much flavour surrounds you. Taste with the senses With the emotions Taste with body and soul Taste every morsel Life has to offer To make this experience whole. Enjoy what is given at the table Enjoy what is for all humankind Enjoy things, enjoy intangibles Be grateful for the joy you find! Words: 192 Prompt ▼ |
