Is it okay to romanticize my lifestyle?

Hi people!
Yesterday , the mood was minus 100 degrees cold . One must never underestimate the benefit of a power nap. You wake up as a slightly better oriented person. 
Time , sleep and food solves most things , And the things these can't solve , you have to solve yourself.


So , this morning ( Rainy and cosy) I wake up to amazing weather and alternating personality. Only focus today was to reach the restroom as soon as possible. Weak bladders are a curse, and I’ll write an emotional piece about it one day.

For once , I wanted to hurry up , get done with plans and the very next moment slow down and live in the moment.

This reminds me of my toddler days. Since the day of my birth , I always wanted to hurry up on things that resulted in a clumsier adult version of mine. My mom divided equal amount of Maggi between us , sisters . I was the one , who would hurry up , gulp as much as I could whereas my sister would savour the noodles with gravy in right amount . Result? I would finish my part in 2 minutes and keep staring at her as she enjoyed hers begging for some more.

I don't know if its the weather that makes me think all this or a calmer , well rested mind but from today onwards I want to wake up late for a few days and have no plans.Easier said than done for a hush mind like mine which begins to overthink and creates problems in head which don't even exist. I want to open my eyes and stay there for a bit, doing nothing.
I want to feel enough even when I don’t have Schedule knocking at my mind’s door. For some time now , I want a life with this new rule. 

I want a life where work is a synonym for giving. An extension of me reaching out and out to the world to heal.
There are insects flying in my stomach and a few question marks floating in my head.

 Is it okay if stop dreaming about big  brands and the sources of income for a while and  find my greatest comfort in the breathe of memories?


Because as time goes on we understand,
What lasts lasts , what doesn't doesn't

Is it okay if I just want to slow down without having to justify “why”?

 Is it okay if I want to smile at strangers and lighten their mood?
Happy endings are much like comfort food – on a bad day, it’s the only thing that can make you feel better. Happiness, even vicarious happiness, offers us an escape from troubled times.
Is it okay if I am okay with my okay ?
Is it okay if I slow down a little and meet few once-in-a-lifetime kind of people I treasure?

I am standing tall in my vulnerability.I am claiming the space that is already mine, all mine.

Nothingness feel relevant and timely, because we as a generation are used to romanticizing our own problems!
So far so much ...

Experience Based Co Design : BCT Series XXIX

  "Experience-Based Co-Design" we have all witnessed its essence unknowingly . My family home is the example I can reflect on .Growing up I didn't like how my house was designed. We (the whole extended family) wanted my dad to sell the house . Dad let his architect friend design our house and would not sell his house (for obvious reasons!). Mum had to balance out the situation so she decided to make small changes. So, it was one change idea each year .She would talk to us individually and listen to our perspective and review her sphere of influence and the impact /utility the idea had.For my siblings the colors were not welcoming while I pointed the flooring. Mum wanted the stairs to be personalised. My grandparents wanted certain conveniences around the toilets. It took her about 4-5 years to make the house a home that was acceptable . From color preferences to spatial arrangements, each family member contributed insights. The lovely thing about it was , the keystakehold...

" Consulting a psychiatrist would be a question mark on my spirituality " Said the patient.

Hello everybody  I hope everybody is safe and healthy. it's been a while that I've been receiving lot of patients in the emergency with mental illness ,thought of sharing an incident of its kind. Not sure if its the awareness of mental health these days or the pandemic, I am developing keen interest in patients with mental illness .I try to take an extra effort to make them feel comfortable and try to create an insight of what is happening and offer them options of what all can be done.  Since this it seems like a step towards patient care , I thought I'd share it here as well. This would probably not be the best approach but I welcome any type of constructive criticism , additions or subtraction to my approach because end of the day we are here for best patient care. A 50 years plus old gentleman ,presented to the emergency with the complaints of chest pain radiating to left arm , breathing difficulty, choking sensation in the throat, inability to open his ey...

MRCEM OSCE preparation and resources

Hello people Since I have cleared my OSCE in one go, I feel it's my duty to journal what all I have done to make it work.(humble brag).Thanks to ChatGPT for helping me pile up some humble generic sentence to make this blog wholesome.(Just kidding). The MRCEM OSCE exam is an integral part of the qualification which tests the clinical and communication skills of candidates. For Indian students pursuing this qualification, preparing for the MRCEM OSCE exam may seem daunting. However, with a few tips that helped me sail through fine. The thing that helped me the most is acclimatizing myself to the UK Clinical Setting Before appearing for the MRCEM OSCE exam, it is imperative for Indian students to understand the clinical setting in the UK. Sometimes , all they want to see is how you behave , your body language, your tone , and your organising skills. Diagnosis is not a critical thing here. You will not fail if you get a wrong diagnosis provided that you have done it systematically. So ...
