Eklavya - the greatest archer !

My favourite mythology character has been एकलव्य (Eklavya)
He is the invincible, the epitome of honor and sacrifice!
The truest disciple with a true hunger to learn !
He always craved for being trained by The Guru Dronacharya. On being rejected from Drona, he constructed a statue of the Guru from the mud Drona walked on. He would hide in the bushes and learn how Drona trained the Pandavas. He self-practised in front of the statue and became an archer of exceptional prowess.
He just never gave up!
( It’s been hell of 9 months that I have peeped in here! Finally my love for blogging has pulled me back. So readers, if any,(lol) please excuse me for the blogger’s thoughtblock in my post.)

What I fear....

Sometimes I get this thought..that it is the fear to under-perform that bothers me and limits me at times, by which i do not mean fear to under-perform in others' eyes (That really doesn't bother me so much) ..but my own.. I fear that I may just fail to effectuate a task with 'that' level of perfection...Perfection is a very relative term I feel.. varies from person to person..Perfection is basically achieving the standards you've set for yourself..which obviously can never be same for two individuals..

Well, I believe in doing whatever I do with perfection..not that I achieve it always..but I can say I do aim at it..whether I get it or not (though I believe forces in universe ensure that you get that something you really 'want') and I easily get annoyed when I come across people who actually start off a task with ...

The Clinical side!

Running about in the reeky wards is finally doing some good! It was all so thrilling when I, as a medico, for the first time percussed an oversized chronically diseased liver, palpated a visible apex beat, auscultated a stenotic valve and observed those toes fanning out just on tracing a curvy stroke. Boy! Did I just I ellicit a Babinski! ( :D :D :D :D And my heart was pounding with joy! ). All this in a week! Saw my first Bell's, the rare cerebellopontine angle tumor and a few days back, the facies of a six - year 'mucopolysaccharidotic' kid.Everything still vivid in my head! Just wish I get to see an asterixis now! Experience here with me the joy of discovering an AS murmur over heart of an eighty-year old! :P Beating like it would just come out! Made my day! And now, having written this, I wonder, if I really am that painfully enthusiastic medical student ! Well, even if I am, I like it this way! ;)
