60 th milestone

The milestone..i turn 60 today sep 12 th

There are some milestones in your age which are significant
When i became 16 i had only one ache
  to get into a medical college .
I knew it wasnt easy for a fatherless boy not remarkable in his studies .

Actually that hardly counted in karunanidhi ruled Tamilnadu .
Entrance exams were yet to begin and medical admissions were based on whims of those in power .
Your PUC marks mattered but it was the all important interview that did the trick and with a malayalee fathers name of Narayanan nair I was sure to be ticked off the list as those days they would remark
 oh  malayalathaana
 as they  werent  great favourites  with the powers that ruled ,
but serendipity was in my favour as Indira Gandhi then PM kicked out the DMK Govt and presidents rule was brought to Tamilnadu .

Medical admissions would be strictly based on PUC aggregrate with double marks for biology ...read zoology and botany they decided .

With 84 % aggregrate i started smiling though it was a long haul ,with 3 months of doubts studying Bsc zoology in  Presidency college but spending time in the beach and eating Buhari samosas with gals and finally joining Kilpauk medical college.

I would become a doctor after all !

In final year I became love mohan and managed to pass too 😂

The next milestone was in1983 the year i got married .

26 years too was important as I had my first child ,our Shilpa though not perfect I will  still give a star to that year .

Eleven years later at 37 I lost my child
But  had 2 children more ....all by 38 years .

And at 48 years I went abroad for 12 years and now the 60 is appearing fast and furious and Iam back to GOC

I have changed
of course
Have i mellowed ?

Dont think so.

On introspection I feel I have become a bit bitter and grumpy .
Thats what the family feels 😥

Somehow couldnt stand unfairness any time  and my trigger posts have irked many though I had been as sincere as possible .

I love food and learnt to cook and serve and enjoy .

And I love to write though many fear to read my long posts 😁

I hadnt fallen to any isms , though Iam highly politically aware .

I prefer individuals rather than parties and Abdul kalam sir stands only next to Mahatma Gandhiji  to me .
Mother teresa was someone I admired till I wondered about agendas behind ,even then she was a great soul .

E .Sreedharan.kurien.Alponse kanamthaanam Krishna iyer are all my idols .

I love good actors like kamalahassan .mohanlal.
mamooty.sivaji ganesan .rajesh khanna .Amitabh bhachan
Rekha asha parekh .

To singers Iam partial
 I love them all
of course lataji asha ji rafi saab dasettan jayachandran p susheela vani jairam s janaki

Rehman ilayaraja laxmikant pyarelal viswanathan ramamoorthy Salida
Onv kurup sir vayalar sir kannadasan sir

Even Arundhati roy and Sashi tharoor I like  for thier talents though not thier politics .

I admire many of my coleagues who have achieved so much in health

My mentors are VPG sir ,
Ahmed ali sir ,Alizadeh hussain my hematologist friend ,Amar lal and pawan kumar ,and masood ,nazish Aurangazeb my seniors and my  coleagues.

I was grateful to study under Rajagopal sir to work with coleagues learn a lot to get friends from several nationalities .

My children have turned good on thier own ,which is a grace of God and my 59 th year was another milestone in celebrating my daughters wedding and getting another son our Achyuth .

So all in all not bad  .

Future unknown .

In south india they celebrate 60 th birthday as sastithapoorthi they call it 60 aam kalyanam that means 60 th wedding 😁

For sure I was looking ahead to 59 more weddings but not when i heard it cant be with  different wives 😂

And so 60 is coming

There are advantages

As senior citizen I get some perks...

 lower berths in trains ,concessions in flights ,maybe shorter ques , maybe an youngster will give me his seat in a bus , and I will be forgiven for upstart thoughts in FB and debates as after all they may think ..
Poor  old man let him talk !!

I may be excused if I fart in public with just a guffaw 😂

 But I dont feel old at all and still want to  be a back bencher ,laugh with friends, hitting backs ,do dubsmash ,get high on cocktails , and watch porn ...oops !

Now iam being confessional

Confession isnt a good word these days can never be sure of our backs with section 377 diluted by those horrible sorry  honble judges .

I may get an enlarged prostate as a bonus or a stroke and grin loppishly

Well not worth much then .

Again dont know how long I will last if I stretch maximum it cant be more than 40 years ,since our DNA never lasted so long .

And I wouldnt want that long too which wud just be kiddy care by me ,later home care for me !!

I wud love to go with a bang listening to my sruthi singing me a lullaby .

my Shyam wishing me ....have fun acha or dad wherever u r going

 and wife tellng me ..... so long till we meet again !!

Omg
