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
