Lessons of life.
I woke to a phone call by ma. I got ready lazily and had an apple for breakfast. I did not feel like eating. So I decided to study for a while. Radha didi helped me as usual. {I fell in love with the subjects. All Thanks to her teaching. She was the best!!!}
At about noon, his message made us realise the time.
Me: Radha didi! Would you like to come with me?
She: Sure! But I think we should first prepare lunch.
{Curse me! I was so excited on receiving his message; that I forgot about lunch.} I ran into the kitchen to prepare lunch. I cooked something very light and packed it for 3. We were ready to leave in ½ hr. After locking the house, we left to the treehouse, chatting random stuff. He was busy in his work when we entered.
He: I thought you forgot that I existed.
Me: Sorry, didi was teaching me and we were so engrossed in studying; that we lost track of time. I started cooking only after receiving your message. Sorry I could not prepare much.
He: It is good that you prepared something light and simple. It will help me stay awake and active. Or else, I would be sleeping, the whole afternoon. I can't afford to waste time now!
Me: Shall we eat?
He: Hmm ...
I served for all three of us.
She: Why an extra plate?
Me: Are you not going to eat?
She: I can't eat.
Me: Why?
She: Why do you keep forgetting that I am NOT a Human?
Me: Oh Sorry! You behave so normal, that ...
They started laughing. I felt embarrassed. She pinched my cheek.
She: You are so innocent and cute.
He: May be cute but not innocent.
He smirked. I threatened him with my eyes.
She: Why so?
He: Did you forget the way she claimed me?
She: That is her right!
He: That is what I am trying to tell you. She is not innocent. She is clever enough to claim her rights.
Me: Mr. don't try to mess with me.
He: See the way she is threatening me.
He pouted. She laughed.
She: She is doing the right thing. You deserve such kind of treatment at times. Or else it will become difficult to handle you.
He: Why are you both teaming up against me?
She: We are sisters. And don't try to create conflicts between us. We are always there for each other.
Her words brought tears in my eyes.
She: Dhara! Why are you crying?
Me: Thank you! I ... I ... am blessed that there are so many people to care for me.
He: Come on! No crying now. Have your food soon.
Me: What shall I do with this extra food?
He: You can give it to some needy person.
Me: Now where will I find a needy person in the mid of a forest?
He: He will come to you. Don't worry.
Me: You are speaking as if you saw future.
He: Nothing like that. I believe that everything happens for a reason and it is always for the best. If you have cooked extra; it means, someone is in need of it.
Me: Okay! But does such a thing happen always?
She: Of course! Sometimes we observe it and sometimes we don't.
Me: But ...
He: I know that it is too much to understand and implement at a stretch. Believing it or not, is left to you. But this theory will definitely help you stay calm and not worry unnecessarily in situations which you cannot handle.
Me: But all situations don't lead to the best.
He: How can you say that?
Me: Does a war or a catastrophe lead to the best?
He: See, let us take the example of a war. I know that it leads to lots of destruction. But you cannot conclude that it is worst. A war makes the country or the population stronger. It enables them to adapt themselves to survive against hard times. It gives rise to a strong race of people, not only physically, but also mentally.
And it is my personal belief that, when there is a war, it is not between people. People as such will not fight. They will only fight when they do not accept each other's principles or ideas. That conflict leads to a war. So the war is never between people. It is between authorities. And the ultimate victory is achieved by that authority which has good principles & ideology.
Only those are allowed to survive on this earth; who think of welfare of others. Selfishness is not tolerated by the earth.
I do not at any cost, support war. Even I am against wars. But when it is inevitable, when it cannot be stopped, when all methods have failed to avoid it; it is better to prepare ourselves for it, with good intentions. We will definitely find victory.
This one thought; is the only hope, keeping me going. We have no clue at all, no hope, to fight against the impending danger. At times it all feels a waste. I need to redo all my calculations. In spite of all these, we are still working, only because we are thinking of all those lives at stake.
He sighed. I was rooted to the ground. Realisation dawned upon me. {I was so selfish; until now! I never thought about others' welfare. But now I want to. I want to live a life which is of some help to others. I want to get rid of the selfishness. I wanted to dedicate my life to the welfare of others.} I felt goose bumps on my skin. All of a sudden, I felt a surge of energy in me. I shivered slightly. I looked at him, my teacher, my motivator, my best friend, my GOD; with tear filled eyes. He gave me an encouraging smile. Didi patted my back and gave a gentle kiss on my forehead. There were no words between us. That moment, I decided: I will work hard and try my best to shape myself into a good DOCTOR. A doctor whose sole mission is the welfare of the patient. A doctor who aims at cure. A doctor who is not a mere doctor; but a HEALER!

A long boring chapter??? I doubt if many of you have even read the long paragraph. I understand. It has too much of philosophy and I am not that capable of putting it forward to you in an interesting way. I still had so much more in my mind, which I could not express in words. But nevertheless, I made my humble attempt.
I thank wattpad for giving me the opportunity to pen down my thoughts and share them to many like minded, wonderful and friendly readers.
Finally, thanks to the teachers and the god for putting these ideas into my head. Thank you for your PATIENT reading.
