Doctor's Day




JULY 1 is celebrated as National Doctor's Day in India. It is the birth and death anniversary of Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy.

 He was a physician, a freedom fighter, and also the Chief Minister of West Bengal. He was the founder of many esteemed organizations and institutions in India, like the IMA & MCI. On this day, doctors are honored and remembered for their services, dedication, and sacrifices they make for the community.

As it is said, not all heroes wear capes; some wear white coats. Lakhs of students pass out as doctors to heal others within their abilities.

Now, to my personal journey, there are many doctors in my family, including my brother, husband, sisters in law,  and cousins, etc. I too studied to become a dentist, but didn't pursue my career due to familial responsibilities and my interest being in other areas like writing and teaching.


Diary of a doctor's wife-

When we got married, both of us were students and hence had the stress of studies in the beginning years.
Being a spouse of a doctor meant keeping up with tight schedules, calls at different times, and being busy always. A dedicated doctor is busy most of the time, and it requires a lot of patience. Once you get a doctor title, it is not only during scheduled times in the clinic or hospital that you work, casualities, illnesses happen all around, and you will have to intervene. It is not a job done mechanically, but you have to be empathetic to your patients, be a friend, a trustee, a support for bystanders, etc. Sometimes you will have to share critical news, overlook deaths, etc. Your knowledge, too has to be updated regarding the new illnesses, medicines,etc.





It is indeed a sad fact that all over the world, Doctors are also victims of physical and verbal abuse, many times for something they didn't do.

Hats off to all the wonderful,  dedicated Doctors around the world.

May the Lord grant you all success and the ability to heal more.. Ameen

 I was thinking 🤔 of the topic for my next blog when I thought it should be about children. Children are a trust(Amanah) placed on us by our Lord and given to us for a destined time.Nobody gets to choose parents.All babies are born with Fitrah(natural inclination),pure.Then it is the family ofcourse who bring up their children with certain values,morals etc. We live in a world where some have children and some don't ,that again is ofcourse the will of God. Babyhood-A child is born.He/she is given a name and cared for as they are completely dependent.Slowly they start to smile,recognize and explore the world around them. Some personal experiences-  Shaza was born,she was the first granddaughter on both sides too.She was basically a quiet baby,who didn't create much trouble for me. Along came Amani,she was a 'tomboy' who was a little naughty. Liyana was more like Shaza.She was also quiet not very naughty . Aiman ,the boy after these 3 was and is indeed naughty😃. It amaz...

                        Middle age crisis - Middle age is the time when you are almost settled in life, basically it is the time from your youth to old age. But you start getting feelings of regret,your self confidence is affected and you may feel less valued Both men and women go through this,but studies show that women face more issues,be it psychological or physical.It is the reproductive period of a woman 's life,where she may experience perimenopausal symptoms, sometimes irritability,fatigue etc.It is also a time when your children are either growing up,grown up and your parents are ageing.Hence it is the peak time of responsibilities. Hormonal changes, maybe weight gain,greying of hairs,hair fall, different body aches are all part of middle age. Some women have early menopause and this too affects their health.Menopause leads to loss in bone density (osteoporosis) ,hence bones fracture easily,hot flashes,tantrums ,mood sw...

DAUGHTERS ARE GEMS💎💎

Image
  Daughters are gems. Don't get me wrong, sons are gems too. I chose this topic because of the misogyny which still exists. It is such a shame that girls and women are still not given the respect they deserve. How can man be so prejudiced against women when she is the reason for your existence. So many people still blame ladies for having daughters without knowing that it is the father's chromosome that is responsible for the gender of the baby. Dislike for daughters has been prevelant since the early times. In Asian countries ladies are divorced for having daughters, primitive arabs used to even bury their daughters alive because they thought girls would bring shame to the family. In some communities people don't want girls because they have to give dowry during the time of marriage. We should remember that children are blessings from our Lord and irrespective of their gender we must treat them equally, educate them and provide them with all necessary provisions. Allah giv...
