Sharing and Caring

When I was coming from my hometown back to Bengaluru travelling in 2 tier in Seshadri Express, I encountered a person who works in the railway department and was travelling with me till Vijayawada.  Since they have pass he got into 2 tier and then came and sat before me. As the people occupying my adjacent seats would board the train in Vijayawada (I knew from the Chart list displayed), he too knew the same fact from the TC and then came and sat before me.

I started listening to music and was going to start reading the book "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" he was very curious to see that book.  By the way, this book is very good for couple where it throws more light on to understand the relationships better. More on this I may post in the coming future.

Then I started conversing with him and found that he's a Senior Supervisor and he came to my hometown to supervise the Engine repairs. Soon we started having a healthy conversation. He started talking about the relationships and how to guard them. Then he started telling about the wonderful gift of SHARING & CARING.

He tells that most of the time, people always either are centric thiking of themselves or just for their families but care least for the others.  There are many occasions like travelling in trains, buses or when visiting new places or in offices and at homes, we have numerous occasions to interact with people and get to know about things. But, most of the time now-a-days we are just busy with only one thing, MOBILE. This technology has given us lot of benefits of communication but at the same time also made us more centric and all the time we see that people in any state are just medling with their mobiles.  Before this came into our life, atleast we had time to talk to others and share the things. I felt so true when he was telling all these things.  He also tells how small small things when shared could increase the love and fellowship in the family and in the society and caring increases and the bonds become more stronger. Like buying a rose for your beloved or a small suprise gift for the parents or a caring call to our relatives could make things more better.

He also added that people should be more pure and chaste in their lives which makes the family relationship more stronger. Then we started discussing about the cancer of our current society, which is, my dear friends, Bribe.  After so many days, I really felt so happy meeting such a person, who had wonderful thinking and ideas and ideals which makes me think that how could be grab all the concepts of the Bahai faith (www.bahai.org) which talks even the same things, but even at a more higher perspective.

Then after sometime he went to sleep and I thought that once he wakes up I could take his number, but, alas, then I slept and in the midnight he got down in Vijayawada junction. I felt so bad that I could get his contact details and I missed the friendship of such a wonderful person. 

I think that there are so many wonderful things that we can do in life and the more we do them for others the more we get real happiness.  Life is just not to live for us but to live for others.  This is what which makes the life more beautiful and memorable, even after we leave this mortal world.


Happy Journey...!!!

Root Canal Treatment - Dentist

In my recent visit to my beautiful and lovely home town, I thought of visiting the dentist once (since it was long back I visited the dentist to remove my bottom left third molar [wisdom teeth] and that affected the adjacent teeth). 

With lot of courage, I once again stepped into that room with full of deadly tools sounding weird.  My mom accompained me as it was the same doctor who's done tooth replantation to my mom.  When I told the doctor the issue that I had, he took an x-ray and told that the adjacent teeth was spoiled to a bit and hence only RCT can be done. Now, listening to this word, made my nerves stiff as I hate this from long back. After brainstorming with him for a couple of minutes, he finally convinced me, that there's nothing else to do, except pulling out.  In my past experiences I've heard a lot about RCT, where people say that its very painfull and I really thought of disappearing from that place at once, to escape from the doctor.

I then called my wife and she told (again and again) that its goanna be painfull but there's no other alternative. Then I thought of what would to me of not being able to eat my favourite things in my home town if I go for this procedure. But, then after balancing the pros and cons I found that not only its cheaper here but I can take sufficient rest even. So with lot of daring and courage I went again to meet the doctor and told him that am ready for the battle. Then what....!!!!

I laid on the chair, they took one anaesthetic injection, injected into the gums and then the battle began. The doctor cleaned the whole thing and then I was told to clean my mouth with Irrigation (a strange bitter liquid) then he filled something in the teeth and told me to go home, giving me pain killers and antibiotics. But, to my wonder, I didnt had any pain even after the effect of anaesthesia got down. I was the luckiest in the world at that time. The doc told me to eat only curd rice, but as you all know, i ate everything from the other side of the mouth.

Then later I was called for 2 more sittings to clean and finalize the things, on successive alternative days. In these 2 settings there was no anaesthesia given (as its not required) and I didn't had any pain. 

Finally I was told that I need to put a cap on that teeth, to save it from accidental accidents which would cost from 800/- to 2000/-. Hmm..... Now am leaving this to the future to decide whether to wear a cap or not. By the way, the whole process of RCT cost me 1200/- in my town which is much cheaper when I compare it to Bangalore.


Happy Eating...!!!
