LADY SAVIOUR

It was a Wednesday.,,,
I remember it perfectly...we had the activity class at school..
I hated the swimming sessions we had..But that day my hate was overlooked by my excitement..
I knew I am going to hear the worlds best news today at my return home!!
my mom's gone to the doctor!!!

Oops ...they calll it gynaecologist...

I wish she brings the news of welcoming a baby brother home..and I  trust my god...he will definitely grant my wish!!

My eyes were somewhat stationed on the clock ..


.. I never bothered missing the Disney show... neither did I go for my dance classes..what if mom comes home ..???
How can I be away when she brings the sweetest news..
The door opened only to find a gloomy face of my mom..I had never seen her so unhappy..her eyes looked as red as blood.. when I touched her cheeks,,they were wet..and her hands were trembling..Even dads face reflected tension and sadness


" Mom..no matter if I don't have a baby brother ...you please don't get upset.. I LOVE YOU..WE ALL LOVE YOU"

I was so confused when she grabbed me in her arms and I heard my mom cry loudly as never before..

Months passed after this incident ,, I got busy with my assignments and homework.. I promised god to share my building blocks and bicycle with my sibling..if he gives me a baby brother..I kept my fingers crossed!!

Gradually ,, I observed many changes in my mom.. her face grew more pale..her head was slowly turning bald..and the eyebrows...almost disappeared..

Today I had decided..to explore the truth.. I found out the address of the gynaecologist (this word is too big to pronounce).. and went straight to her hospital after school 
hours (i promise i did not bunk the swimming class!)

The gynaecologist was so young ,,, I thought she must be a weird looking lady with a grumpy face..but she was rather a beautiful lady with a sweet voice..
but I still don't know why she broke into tears when she saw me...

" what happened to my mom...after every time she visits you..she returns home with a bad mood..what do you tell her??"

"nothing,,,your moms all fine...see ..she will be recovering in few days.."

I don't want a baby brother if it causes so much trouble to my momm..OK? "

"hmm... I will try my best to reduce your moms trouble"

At the door,, I heard granny yelling at mom...

" How could you hide this from me??
I had told you to do the rituals at Trimbakeshwar...it was already written in your horoscope...deadly danger at 30.. but I never imagined it to be Cancer,,"

CANCER

?????

I have heard about in doordarshan...even the newspapers have it... the aunt next door once said that it kills the victim...

my mom is dying???

I returned...

"gynaecologist ,,,,,,gynaecologist......my Granny says......momm....cancer...."

I couldn't speak....the tears flowed right into my mouth and stopped my words

"not at all...who said..???
.nothing happened to your mom...shes fine"

" I know she isn't...save my mom please"

I did not taste the chocolates that she gave me...I dint bother to unwrap it...all I wanted to know was about cancer and its aftermath,,,

 I didn't see mom for months...even though the gynaecologist aunty called home a few times...mom never spoke through phone..perhaps she did not want me to hear her cancer stricken helplessness

In January,SHE RETURNED HOME...

everything seemed perfect ...all that I missed the softness at her chest when I hugged her..they had removed it..my mom survived breast cancer...

I know..it was the lady saviour who saved mom..she proved granny wrong...

Whatever you call her gynaecologist or gynaeclsist ..or perhaps doctor..
She is my God...she kept the word..
She is my lady saviour...
The one who granted my wish..
She is my god...
Even though I am not gonna have a baby brother,,,it doesn't bother me...now...
My lady saviour has solutions to every problem..
I will be a saviour like her one day..I will be a doctor...perhaps a

GYNAECOLOGIST...(yippee...I pronounced it correct this time!!)

PS:
This is a small story that I have wriiten in reference to the Get your story published in The Chicken Soup for the Indian Soul – Indian Doctors at BlogAdda

This is a true incident and I have wriiten this post through the view of the cancer patient's daughter..who still believes that the lady doctor who treated her mother is a true saviour... hope this story never bores you and find a place in your sympathy..
Hope this article was worth the time you spent here to read this...

The Adam's plea


It might be true that we  tortured you people a lot...
But those were just fun... Actually we thought you enjoyed being teased...
But now that you people have completely made up your minds to screw us.. don't we deserve some pity..???

We know that eve teasing is a terrible experience... I mean was a terrible experience..
Now ...does that mean the Eves should start troubling the Adams..?
You must be knowing what we go through...

Are we safe to roam freely after sunset.. you just don't allow us to ..
Perhaps it makes us so concerned about our looks..every now and then we check the length of our trousers or the perfectness in the tucking of our shirts inside the pants..
Otherwise never know what you silly girls tend to call us.. weird names..SRK..KRK.....you don't even spare Dileep kumar..

Last Sunday ..while I passed through the chor gallii..those bully girls across the lanes...they just crossed the limits.. imagine they called me...oh ..I cant tell it so publicly...it so embarrassing ....how can you girls do this to us..!!!!

We just don't feel like travelling ... neither by train..nor by the bus....
the eves trouble us there tooo....

The way you stare at us...It feels so awkward.... its as if you are stripped in the crowd...

You girls... don't you have fathers and brothers..??
 Every guy is a brother of one among you..how would you feel if a lady teases your little brother??

Please stop this...our ancestors must have did the worst with your community.. but please don't punish this generation for their unknown sin..

It brought tears to my eyes when I read the worst news of a young boy gang raped by a group of evil minded girls...you even pushed out  a gentle man from a running train!! Imagine what they must have gone through...what their family must be going through..

The entire male species is fed up...spare us now...we plead guilty of troubling you in the past..wont ever do this to you..
Its high time to stop ....now Adam teasing is the worst social problem.. consider us..have pity on us...support us...


Ever imagined what happens if the girls decide it against you...???
we are completely fed up...
if the girls weren't patient and  forgiving by nature,,,the above would have been the experience of many a gentlemen on this earth...
Its high time to stop the  dominating male society to protest the eve teasing and other troubles that the females face...
If you people were to suffer this due to us...what would you do??? write a letter as above...??? then be ready...Because the girls may start the revenge any time...they r fed up of silently bearing the tortures
