When You Don't Have An Answer...

Questions....

Easy, Difficult, Obvious, Stupid.

But, 

Questions will be Questions.

Questions are very Good When you know the answer, they are interesting when you think over it and you come to an answer, questions are stupid when you never think this could possibly be an answer. But questions are full of quest, when you can never come to an answer.  How much ever you think about them, look around for an answer, you hardly come to one. There's no book that holds all these answers, but books having the writers their own experiences over such answers. But most of the time, many experiences just confuses us even more. 

Such are the questions of life. Life has been putting such questions on us, all the time. How hard we try to find an answer, we just can't. These questions are not right or wrong, these are just answers, respective to the situations. The answers to these questions come on their own, they dawn upon us suddenly, at just the right time. It's alright if we don't worry about them, but still we do. Life teaches us most of the time,through these questions. The questions are better left unanswered. It's like when you are thinkin hard over a name you can't recollect, but you still can't, and when you stop thinking about it, bang there comes the answer to your mind, similiarly these answers come to us, when we least expect it, but at the right time. But this curious human mind, just loves to linger over it, think over it, and try to get an answer to it. To the questions of life.

Nehru Science Centre..after ages!!!

When God makes you wait he gives you the Best!

I say this because our visit to the Nehru Science Centre was surely one of the best. We’d been to this place on Friday, before which the plan had flopped thrice.

                   Many people made fun of me after getting to know that the plan had flopped. But I laughed at them after coming on the Friday evening, because all those who laughed at me, either had not been to place for a long time, or have never visited it even once. If you fall in either of the category, I think you should really not mind giving a visit once.

                  But most of the times the Science Centre is confused for Planetorium and vice versa. The same mistake we made! We took a bus from Byculla station got down at the last stop, The Planetorium. We realized the mistake after we talked to a good sandwich-wala. But since we had a plan of visiting both anyways, we checked for the shows. But to our misfortune, to watch a show in English we would have to wait for some 2 hours. So we decided to go to the science centre instead. We asked the watchman for the directions, who was a jolly good fellow, and gave in the details quite perfectly. We took a cab and finally reached the desired place.

            We bought tickets for the places we were interested in looking at, and dashed in. First there were some models of the first steam engine, first electric train, first tram, etc. Further we moved out in the actual place of fun, inside The Science Centre! The only thing I did not like was, we were not allowed to take bottles inside, and in this heat, and I need it all the time.

            Anyways, we went inside, the ground floor is based on some principles of energy, kinetics and such. We had interesting time there. Just a bit further was the section related to evolution of life, well which did not interest me much.

            Then on the first floor was a kid’s section. Along with the kids section was attached the section of senses. That was really interesting. Many were informative with quizzes, but there was also a team quiz sort of a thing, which was also interesting as well as informative. The kid’s section has a 3-D show, it’s for 15 minutes only, and for 20/-. It was a complete Value for Money, really amazed me! We were eaten up by sharks, thrown apples at us by monkeys. It was really great!

            Then the second floor was full of cool stuff related to sound. The third floor had great informative things related to light. Whereas the fourth floor was dedicated to computers and the IT world, wonderful attempt was made to make it more interactive, but did not strike much for me.

            Finally completely exhausted we left the place picked up our bottles and drank water after a very long time. It gave me the same feeling which I felt after visiting the place. It was like quenching of thirst after a very long time. 

:) RIDING HAPPINESS :)

Back with a bang!!! Not sure about the bang thing, but I’m surely back with a difference. Finally I’m done with my examinations, which were really mentally exhausting. Now that I’ve got some time to myself want to utilize it to the best. I want to utilize my vacation at the best! HA! Those are just damn words. I want to do nothing, I want to watch movies, I want to sleep till late afternoons, and I want to do nothing! I enjoy doing nothing, but I know I’ll be bored enough! Or I might even not get the time to do all of that.

            Finally my exams have ended! I know you read it once, but I was just testing! Yeah! I’m getting a combination of feelings, just trying to sort it all out. The first feeling I get is, of course, it’s like someone took the load off my shoulders, but there’s something more to it, heart’s filling with Apprehension. The apprehension about another year-of course academic, coming to an end! Oh My God! Still unable or unwilling to swallow the bitter reality, but no other option left!

                  GULP!!!   

            Yeah another year came to and end, this reminds of the end of the previous year, as well as the beginning of this very year. I remember the statement, “I hope I’ve an equal or a more wonderful second year.” I think my wishes were accepted. Agreed that it wasn’t wonderful the way I’d expected it to be, but I loved it the way it was. You must be wondering, what about those sad, pessimistic poems I wrote in my previous posts, well that was just a passing moment, and it passed, and I’m happy that such a time came in my life, it came for the best for sure, after all

            EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A GOOD REASON!

            As I said life wasn’t going the way I’d expected, so I was a bit phobic to the change, but then I realized, it was for the best! I accepted the change! And I’m happy, happily riding along the new way!

            And on this way, I’ve people who matter to me the most! I don’t even need to name them, reading this they’ll come to know; they have a place somewhere here.

            Because they are RIDING HAPPINESS along with me!

HAVE YOU ALL FORGOTTEN...OR YOU NEVER REALLY CARED!!

Have you forgotten?

Or you never really cared..

Listening to you,

Never interested me.

Still I listened..

I tried..

I adjusted..

Adjusted..to keep it going.

Now I realize,

You needed me then,

And not anymore.

Whenever you needed me,

I tried my best to be there..

I tried..

I adjusted..

Adjusted….to keep it going.

Now I realize,

You’re too selfish,

You’ll never do the same for me,

You won’t sacrifice even a bit for me.

You can’t see someone happy,

You can’t bear else’s happiness.

I ignored..

I tried..

I adjusted..

Adjusted…to keep it going.

Now I realize,

How long could I ignore it!

I can’t bear it anymore.

I loved you the way you were,

Loved your simple sweetness..

But you wanted to be someone else…

I corrected..

I tried..

I adjusted..

Adjusted.. to keep it goin.

Now I realize,

I should’ve never corrected you,

You wouldn’t have gone as far as you have!

Have you all forgotten?

Or you never really cared!

The time we spent together,

The moments that we shared.

The comments that we made..

The way you troubled me.

That nuclear reactor..

That high micro trek!

Those 10 kahaniya,

That 15/- tip.

That structure test studies,

That first time Sherry’s

That Bhool Bhulaiaya!,

That treasure hunt,

That cadbury’s fun!

Don’t you miss those days?

We miss them everyday.

Have you all forgotten?

Or you never really cared?

WHY DID I???!!!

I’m losing them out

Those who were special,

Those, whom I trusted,

Those whom I believed in,

Those, whom I loved,

Those whom I cared for,

And,

All those who cared for me once.

Maybe they just pretended to care.

Cuz, now, they’ve left me,

Just like leaving a blind man to find his way out.

I’ve gone numb, I can’t feel.

How will I find the door?

I can’t listen to the voices,

My pain has made me deaf.

I fear telling them how I feel.

I fear,

Losing them even more.

I fear they won’t even talk to me again.

I always feared making friends,

Feared opening up among them,

All these just because,

I feared, losing them.

The nightmare is turning into reality.

What should I do?,

I’ve committed the mistake again.

My heart is wounded,

My tears are bleeding out.

I need someone to heal them…

No,

Not someone this time,

I don’t want all this again!

I’ll deal with it myself…

I don’t wish to trust anyone…

Anyone again!

FORENSIC SCIENCE!

Recently a group was accused of consumption of drugs in a rave party. I appreciate the police for busting this racket. But apart from the police there is someone involved, in detecting this crime. They are none other than the medical practitioners giving evidence i.e. people practicing forensic science.
Forensic science is lots more than highly equipped laboratories and sensational life! Forensic means of or used in Court of law i.e. it deals with the application of medical knowledge to aid in the administration of justice. It is used to detect the cause of death or injury.
Medical and law have been related from the earliest times. They were related due to religion, superstition, and magic. Law-medicine problems are found in the written records of Egypt, Sumer, Babylon, India, and China dating back 4000 to 3000 B.C. As far as Indian history is concerned, in 4th century, B.C., Manu (King and law-giver) in his treatise, Manusmriti, laid down various laws including punishment for various sexual offences, and recognized mental incapacity due to intoxication, illness, and age. Between fourth and 3rd century B.C. Arthashastra of Kautilya defined penal laws and regulated medical practice.
There are some cases, where the accused might be mentally imbalanced, which might be the reason for him/her to commit the crime. Like if a person has robbed a few things, just because he’s a kleptomaniac,
And there can also be some murder cases due to multiple personality disorders. In such cases respective certificates need to be issued.
A forensic doctor is supposed to appear in a court for the hearing and give his inferences over the study of the subject in the Court of law as a witness. A forensic doctor is sought by the police and the detection of the crime completely depends on the knowledge and skill of the doctor.
A doctor may be called in for 3 reasons, as an ordinary witness who saw the incident, as a medical practitioner who treated the patient, or as an expert to give his opinion on matters of science. In the first two cases it’s his duty. But in the third case it’s a matter of choice. Generally a doctor avoids giving testimony if he’s reluctant to undergo the experience which is considered to be painful, if he feels he’s not sufficiently qualified to testify with any conviction with that particular case, or if he feels he can’t spare the time for lengthy court room sessions. But generally a court room experience of a forensic doctor is not as painful as it is considered to be. But it can get irritating if the defense lawyer is prosecuting aggressively.
As mentioned before this is a job of great responsibility and the doctor should act with that responsibility. His presence should be full of confidence; he should have an impressive aura.
Brouardel, a French medico-authority wrote, if the law has made you the science; you have no victim to avenge, no guilty person to convict and no innocent person to save. You must bear testimony within the limits of science, i.e. a doctor should not decide on the basis of the subject, he should give his report based only on the scientific conclusions. Whatever be the history of the subject, his testimony should only be facts obtained scientifically.
The doctor just has to apply his knowledge to the controversy and come out with proper interpretation. The medico-legal authority should be very sure of what he says in the court room. The lawyers don’t have scientific knowledge and relies completely on the doctor’s testimony, so vague theories don’t have place in such testimony. As Dr. K. S. Narayan Reddy writes, “presumption is not proof, and conjecture is not evidence”. Which means neither probability nor guesses have any place in the testimony.
We often see on movies and serials, in which the doctors give in sensational dialogues and diplomatic answers as a testimony, but in reality it isn’t practiced nor is it allowed, a medical practitioner should just give in the medical observation in the most precise ways, and his presentation matters a lot. He should say everything honestly, which is noticed by the confidence in presenting
He should not talk about the incidence with the patient, and even if he does, he’s supposed to keep the information to himself, but can give the police an indirect warning, and can tell them to investigate in that matter.
A successful physician is one who has the power of observation, a wide range of exact knowledge, the power of deduction. Basic intelligence, clinical competence, experience, common sense, caution, foresight and last but not the least, wisdom.
The most important thing is, conclusions should not be drawn by looking at just some of the facts. A detailed examination should be done. There might be a case where a person is found to be poisoned, but might be having some external injuries, due to an accident. Here the chances of homicide by poisoning should not be ruled out. Such evidences should be looked, and if overlooked can lead to a murderer to escape punishment, or some might have to pay for damages for what they are not responsible either.
But sometimes even the best doctors might get fixed in a situation. There are no ideal or constant observations; there are always some variations in every case. These variations are natural and can’t be stopped, but this makes it difficult for a practitioner. But every conclusion has to be reasonable. And for illustrating every observation, a doctor can take the help of photographs, maps, diagrams, skeleton, etc.
But while doing all this, a doctor should take care of what he says; many professionals are getting sued these days for their wrong statements. So experience matters when in this field. Such experience can be gained by attending court room hearings. Medical students and aspiring medico-authorities should note down all questions, replies and situations. This will help them gain better experience and also reduce the fear of being a witness to one, and it will also help reduce the pain of an irritating proceeding.
