Social Sites These Days

I have more than six hundred friends, yet I am lonely. 
I speak to all of them everyday, yet none of them really know me. 

The problem I have sits in the spaces between looking into their eyes 
or at a name on a screen. I took a step back and opened my eyes, 
I looked around to realize the media we call social is anything but. 
When we open our computers, and it's our doors we shut. 
All this technology we have it's just an illusion. 
Community companionship a sense of inclusion yet, 
when you step away from this device of delusion, you awaken to see a world of confusion. 
A world where we're slaves to the technology we mastered,
where information gets sold by some rich greedy bastard. 
A world of self interest, self image, self promotion. 
Where we all share our best bits, but, leave out the emotion. 
Were at 'almost happy' with an experience we share, 
but is it the same if no one is there? 
Be there for your friends and they'll be there too, 
but no one will be if a group message will do. 
We edit and exaggerate, crave adulation. 
We pretend not to notice the social isolation. 
We put our words into order and turn our lives a-glistening. 
We don't even know if anyone is listening! 
Being alone isn't a problem let me just emphasize; 
if you read a book, paint a picture, or do some exercise. 
You're being productive and present not reserved and recluse. 
You're being awake and attentive and putting your time to good use. 
So when you're in public, and you start to feel alone. 
Put your hands behind your head, step away from the phone! 
You don't need to stare at the menu, or a your contact list. 
Just talk to one another, learn to coexist. 
I can't stand to hear the silence of a busy commuter train 
when no one want's to talk for the fear of looking insane. 
We're becoming unsocial, it no longer satisfies...
to engage with one another, and look into someone's eyes.
We're surrounded by children, who since they were born, 
have watched us living like robots, who now think it's the norm. 
It's not very likely you'll make worlds greatest dad, 
if you can't entertain a child without using an iPad. 
When I was a child, i'd never be home. 
Be out with my friends on our bikes we'd roam. 
I'd wear holes on my trainers, and graze up my knees. 
We'd build our own clubhouse, high up in the trees. 
Now the parks so quiet, it gives me a chill. 
See no children outside and the swings hanging still. 
Theres no skipping, no hopscotch, no church and no steeple. 
We're a generation of idiots, smart phones and dumb people. 
So look up from your phone, shut down display. 
Take in your surroundings, make the most of today.
Just one real connection is all it can take, 
to show you the difference that being there can make. 
Be there in the moment, when she gives you the look, 
that you remember forever as 'when love overtook‘. 
The time she first held your hand, or first kissed your lips, 
the time you first disagreed and you still love her to bits. 
The time you don't have to tell hundreds of what you've just done. 
Because you want to share this moment with just this one. 
The time you sell you sell your computer, so you can buy a ring, 
for the girl of your dreams, who is now the real thing. 
The time you want to start a family, and the moment when, 
you first hold your little girl, and get to love again. 
The time she keeps you up at night, and all you want is rest. 
And the time you wipe away the tears as your baby flees the nest. 
The time your baby girl returns, with a boy for you to hold, 
and the time he calls you granddad and makes you feel real old. 
The time you've taken all you've made, just by giving life attention. 
And how you're glad you didn't waste it, by looking down at some invention. 
The time you hold your wife's hand, sit down beside her bed, 
you tell her that you love her and lay a kiss upon her head. 
She then whispers to you quietly as her heart gives a final beat, 
that she's lucky she got stopped by that lost boy in the street. 
But none of these times ever happened, you never had any of this. 
When you're too busy looking down, you don't see the chances you miss. 
So look up from your phone, shut down those displays, 
we have a final act existence a set number of days. 
Don't waste your life getting caught in the net, 
because when the end comes there's nothing worse than regret. 
I'm guilty too of being part of this machine, 
this digital world, we are hear but not seen. 
Where we type as we talk, and we read as we chat. 
Where we spend hours together without making eye-contact. 
So don't give into a life where you follow the hype. 
GIve people your love, don't give them your 'like‘. 
Disconnect from the need to be heard and defined, 
go out into the world leave instructions behind. 

Look up from your phone. Shut down that display. 

Stop reading this poem. Live life the real way.

Reasons to study Medicine and Be a Doctor


Once you have considered medicine as a possibility, things might complicate - the first issue being whether to listen to your heart or your mind. Our minds often impose subjective points of view of the society and our immediate surroundings, which will undoubtedly encourage us to choose medicine up to that point when we forget what our heart's and our own desires are. In this article we bring ten (objective) reasons why study medicine.


1. Plenty of opportunities upon graduating

This reason is rarely stressed properly, but it truly is so. After gradutation there is a broad range of opportunities for future job. In case you find none of the possibilities appealing, you can combine them or invent your own path of further specialization. Upon finishing medical college you can choose to work in hospitals, science institutes, public health care or be part of the medical segment of some other science. There are doctors who are managing health care costs in economical sciences, or cooperate as a part of judicial sciences in proving medical errors and patients' rights.

Be that as it may, do not worry in case you do not see yourself as a future pediatrist or surgeon; you have six years to decide what exactly you are interested in.


2.Working with people

A lot of students name working with people as their primary reason to study medicine. If you are a people person, medicine is the right choice for you. It is of vital importance to stress that to work with people you absolutely must have a great deal of tolerance towards endangered social groups, e.g. the old and disabled.
In course of your studies you will be able to improve this skill even if you do not have a particularly developed affinty towards working with people. During your studies, but also later in hospitals, you will meet a lot of people besides patients - patients' families, medical staff, technicians, administrators etc. As a part of you medical training you will also learn not to form bonds towards patients and their diagnoses or faiths, which is an extremely delicate problem especially when it comes to children.


3. The ability to help people directly and make them happier

This was my main reason for enrolling into medical college. The progress of the human kind and civilization is the purpose of almost all of the college programmes. Medicine participates in this process in the most direct way. The most doctors would say that there is no greater joy than the one you feel when you manage to help a very sick patient or when a group of scientists discovers a new medicine for a certain disease. The ability to directly help the curing process is also a challenge and sometimes it is not easy to cope with it. For this reason your medical education will prepare you so you can land on your feet in 99% of the cases.


4. Team work

Medicine nowadays is based on team work. You will be divided into smaller groups already while at college and this will give you a chance to perfect your people skills. These skills will also come in handy later when you start practicing medicine; not only does a doctor cooperate with nurses and other doctors on daily bases, but he is also a mentor figure and a role model for his students.
Without team work you cannot succeed in the field of medicine, so if you are a lone wolf, you might want to reconsider whether medicine is the right choice for you.


5. Respect in society

Whether we want to admit it or not, doctors are always on the top of the social scale. Whether you go to the theater or to the cinema you should know that you will be noticed. Not downright like Dr. Oz, but a certain part of people will pay attention to you too. This also represents a great responsibility because it is not seldom that a doctor is also a moral authority, especially in smaller places.
On the one hand, this could be a problem because some cannot bear this responsibility and cannot come to terms with the fact that they have lost a part of anonimity that majority of people has. On the other hand, this respect in society is a major factor while choosing the field of medicine for some people. The fact that a lot of doctors end up in politics and continue their careers as politicians supports this theory.


6. A great need for doctors


World needs more doctors. The situation in Europe is really good compared to some other continents like Asia or Africa. There are also differences in numbers and need for doctors in different European countries. A lot of EU countries that have forbidden or restricted employment of foreign citizens do not apply this decision on doctors. In most cases medicine students get a job sometimes even the very day they graduate.


7. Safe job, career, and lifestyle

Another not quite irrelevant reason to study medicine is a certain stability upon graduation. This reason is becoming even more prominent in countries still coping with recession and in a situation where it is becoming harder and harder for young people to find a job. In case this is your decisive reason for studying medicine, be aware that this is not an easy or a simple job, but a job with a lot of sacrifice and personal investment. Nevertheless, a job is waiting for you.


8. Constant ameliorating

The end of medical studies does not mean the end of learning. Quite the opposite - your college is providing you with basics for further knowledge and skill development. Summits and seminars are often organized in exotic locations in order to attract as many doctors as possible. A lot of students see this reason as the significant difference in comparison to other studies and for this they point medicine out as a unique example of constant professional perfecting.


9. White coat

This reason might seem funny to you, this may not even seem like a reason to study medicine to you, but as something irrelevant. Nevertheless, some students look forward to putting on their white coats during practicing in class. White coat, other than being a clothing item and a part of doctor's uniform, is also a representative of the order of the medical system, cleanliness of the job, and high hygiene standards. A tidy and clean coat is emitting a clear doctor's attitude towards patient. Precisely these reasons make the white coat one of the reasons to start studying medicine.


10. Science universal to the whole world


And the last, but not the least reason is a great uniformity of medical science. Upon graduating from a medical college in Europe you can find a job and work in any hospital in South America or anywhere else in the world (unlike some humanistic sciences). Furthermore, the major part of medical literature is in English, the most of the medical terms are in Latin. You will get acquianted with English and Latin in the course of your studies so that words like vertebra or clavicula will be nothing new neither to you nor to a doctor on the other side of the world.

By naming these top ten reasons, I tried to encompass the most of the points that students of medicine name as their motivation for studying medicine and which are the main cause for choosing precisely this vocation. One should also not forget giving up free time which is essential for successful ending of this college. Just as there are these ten reasons for, there are also reasons against, but the final decision is for you to make. Sometimes all it takes is just one reason to make the right choice.

I walked and my Life danced

This beauty and this complexion 
This walk and this tenderness, 
how's this apocalypse.
now who can say what...it's too good to say anything.

When I walked, the life danced, 
when I moved, light woke up, 
there is a new weather and new winds, 
I am new and my styles are new.

The clouds of your hair, 
your playful eyes, 
how are these troubles, 
what to say now ?? 

The world has changed, why shouldn't my style change. 
Everything has changed. 
When the new song has echoed, why shouldn't the (musical) instruments change.
Even my notes are new.
My paths are like all new, 
my journey is new. 
My wishes are new, 
my sight is new too.

Your eyes are unique, 
like cups of alcohol, 
even on trying the heart is not in control, 
what to say now ??

My heart wants me to make a garland of stars, 
and the moon be like a (little) lamp without me, 
all the waves of sea, I would decorate on my scarf 
don't know why this heart wishes so. 
Someone may think of me as mad, 
but I don't care.
I learnt only this much, 
what my heart has been looking for ?? 

What colors you have brought, 
what a wave you have brought, 
what a zeal you have brought.. 
what to say now ??

Life Is Not A Marathon

Today we continue to run
Everyone is a runner
You cannot stop the clock
Time flows only in one direction.
A marathon course where we can’t turn back
We compete with our rivals
and run
on this road called time.
Trying to be faster
trying to be one more step ahead
Believing that there must be a future in front of us
Believing that there is a finishing line

Life is a marathon.
But is it really?
Is life really like that?
No, life is not a marathon.
Nobody can choose our path
Nobody can choose our finishing line
Running anywhere is fine
You can head wherever you like
Everyone has his or her own path
Your own path?
Does that really exist?
Nobody knows.
But the world we’ve never seen is vast
So yes start your journey
Think about it and then think more
and then when you know your goal, go for it.
It’s okay to fail.
It’s okay to return to where you started
You don’t need to compare yourself to others
There is no single path
There is no single finishing line.
There are as many goals and finishing lines
as number of people on this planet.
All lives are excellent.
Who said that life is a marathon?

Life Is Not A Marathon. Everyone has his or her own path. Your own path?

Don't Quit


When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit!

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure has turned about,
When they might have won had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow!
Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering one,
Often the struggler has given up
When they might have captured the victor's cup.
And they learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close they were to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint to the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the task when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem the worst, that you must not quit!

Sometimes


Sometimes all you can give is love 
Sometimes all you have is not enough 

Sometimes life is like a dream 
Sometimes dreams aren’t what they seem 

Sometimes laughter can heal your heart 
Sometimes it’s laughter that breaks it apart 

Sometimes the world goes faster than you can go 
Sometimes even fast is still too slow 

Sometimes going home is the only thing on your mind 
Sometimes home is the only place you can’t find 

Sometimes you are too tired to sleep 
Sometimes you are too sad to weep 

Sometimes freedom holds you back 
Sometimes a wedding dress is black 

Sometimes loneliness is what you need 
Sometimes there’s a harvest without a seed 

Sometimes darkness can be too bright 
Sometimes rain gives you delight 

Sometimes you think you understand 
Sometimes you know you really can’t 

Sometimes what sets you free are restrictions 
Sometimes what makes most sense are contradictions.

आमा

खुम्चिएको निधार , फुलेका जिउका नशा अनि खिइएको त्यो शरीर,
कुरूप हैन आमा, तिर्थ भन्छु त्यसलाई म, भन्छु परमात्माको मन्दिर ||


सम्पन्न भएन त के भो,
डोको भित्र बिछ्यौना पाउने,
मेरो बाल्यकाल सर्बोत्तम- सुन्दर छ,
आफु खिएर मलाइ खुवाउने ,
तिम्रो महिमा अपरम्पार छ !!


उकालो-ओरालो, घास-दाउरा र पानी पधेरा,
जुध्नै पर्ने र जित्ने पर्ने लडाई साझ-सबेर,
दुखाएर आफुलाई जोगायौ मलाइ,
मुटुको टुक्रा र आखाको नाम दिलाई ||

कठोर जिन्दगीमा भार मेरो बोक्दै,
लुकाई पिडा, ममता र प्यार पोख्दै,
जुध्दै आफू, जोगायौ मलाई रात-दिन
कसैगरी तिर्न म सक्दिन आमाको ऋण ||

My Mother: my God


My Mother: my God !!




Everyone has a past
Some have had good while some bad
But long it never lasts
One good, I'm sure everyone has had

As we know, life is uncertain,
Where only God can pull the curtain
Thinking of which
My mind begins to twitch

Things we expect much
But forget, it's all about luck
To have someone -  whom you can rely on
In this world of deceit, it can only be your MOM

She strives hard, to help you grow
But you always keep craving for more
When one day you know there'll be no one to adore
Cause she has less time in store

We think of how to make the call
When we sit back and think of all
Times we begin to fall
Is understood, when we sit in closed walls

I wish I could make all her dreams come true
Give her all the happiness, she deserves to
Relieving her of all the pain she goes through
But, God plays a game tying my hands too.

My Mother: my God. I love you Mommy.
