Chilly Insights

I remember once sitting on a bench in the government hospital one morning, waiting for my turn for medical certification unaware that something very unspectacular would force me to think of the reasons people fear going to govt. hospitals. As any govt. hospital, this too was stinking with the smell of medicines. Echoing cries of infants suggested the nearness of the maternity ward. Two women sat beside me complaining incessantly to each other about the uncleanliness in govt. hospitals and the costliness of the private ones from the last 20 minutes. They had been exchanging their precious political insights, observations and conclusions with one another on ten or so other topics:- -how the new generations of daughters-in-law were inciting their men to rebel against his parents, - how sending girls to school was leading to an increase in the number of girls running away with boys (one of them had smartly dropped her daughter out of school already),  -how th...

 Hello everyone, we are back here with some "No Comments" on India’s public healthcare system. We are Indians, and I don't think we are satisfied with anything that the government does. But it is not completely our fault. Despite almost 33000 crores of the health budget, people prefer private hospitals above government hospitals. The reason lies in the stats, our dissatisfaction with doctors and hospital conditions. Let’s take a view of the statistics.   1.20% of all maternal deaths and 25% of child death in the world occur in India. 2. 34 out of 1000 children are dead by the age of 5. 3. Only 39% of Indians are immunized in urban areas. The Indian government has launched a lot of schemes which look quite good on paper but there is nothing out in the field. All the schemes are mere theories on paper with no practical existence. Do you know what the best part is? We have never heard anyone talking about it. It has never been a political topic...

It is very rare to find a selfless partner and I got a perfect one for this blog. Hello Everyone, I officially welcome my partner of this blog. Ms Bhanupriya. She is studying in IIT - Bombay.

Every post will be written by us including last one. I hope we create something good.

Train journeys are awesome as long as I own a window seat. Breeze brushing my face, creating microscopic tornadoes in my messy hair. It gives a complete Bollywood touch. It’s a perfect place and time to write my experiences of yesterday.    It was a partly cloudy day, windy occasionally, perfect for shopping. My friend and I were returning to the hostel after having spent a good lot of time in D-Mart buying stuff. We called a taxi although it was strictly against our natural tendency of covering distances on foot but the stuff was too heavy for us to carry. We placed out butt in the taxi seat and our eyes on the meter. The driver seemed to be damn busy on phone calls and with each call we were worrying about the fare. And I was quite angry with the driver. But something highly unexpected took place.    Finally, when the driver seemed to have temporarily dealt with all his calls, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and said, “ladka hua hai, namaskar”. I could ...
