Criticism

-
Recent events, have made me realize the things for which I was criticized when I was 10 are the same things for which I am being criticized now. The responses I had towards those criticism are stonewalling or hatred or laughing it off. At the time of criticism, I thought the responses were appropriate. But when I look in retrospective, I kind of doubt myself whether I really have some problems and I have been defending those problems rather than trying to correct them. But still the way I was criticized for the particular thing was exactly the same way I was criticized when I was 10 years. The astonishing thing is that even after 13 years, I have not been able to get rid of those critics in my life and even when I go to a new place, those critics appear in different persons. So, this is to all the critics, trying to change me, pull me down, you are warned.

Uncertainty

-
I follow the same routine everyday, from the moment I get up until I close my eyes. To change even a small thing I have to think it over and over again several times before doing it. What am I afraid of? I guess it is uncertainty. Uncertainty of how a new food item you have never tasted before would taste like keeps you from ever ordering that food item. You just buy the same old food item and go to same old restaurants even though a new restaurant is nearby you are afraid to go to it. So I am being boxed into a very tight space due to my fear of uncertainty. I think it is my worse fear. Uncertainty of the future brings me creepy nightmares. The worst is when you have to decide something about your future like your career and you are presented with many choices. Then we look up to others to make our decisions for us because we are afraid of uncertainty. So what am I going to do about it? I guess answer is simple just embrace the chaos. Make decisions spontaneously do not wait for ...

Birthdays and Me

-
If anyone asks me the least favourite day in a year, I would say it's my birthday without a second thought. Birthday which is an event to publicly announce someone's age and to give a party and to receive gifts in which corporates can sell birthday cards, gifts and party arrangements. What makes me angry is giving superficial gifts, which doesn't mean anything to the giver or the receiver. I don't know what I fear the most, that I am getting older by one year, or that I have spent the last 12 months without achieving anything I wanted to achieve in my life. I sometimes wonder how time has slipped through my cupped hands on my birthdays. And the other personal reason is something bad always happens to me on my birthdays.  So if anyone asks me for birthday party, I would say that I hate birthdays. When they ask for a birthday treat, I would quite oblige to them as it is what social protocol demands of me. Or sometimes when I'm out of control I would shout at them. ...

Future and uncertainty

"Future is not set on stone" What scares me to the core is the future and its associated uncertainty. Nearly 5 years ago, I started my med school career, I had no idea what my plan for the future. Now, just 3 months for the final exams, I am still at that place with no plan for the future. What is more distressing is that, you see your friends and classmates who started with you and enrolled in other courses in university are graduating and are with a plan for the future while you are still stuck in this place with so much uncertainties. Adding more to the stress is that people asking you what type of doctor are you going to be. And I come up with different answers each time that question is asked. Adding onto this, the exam stress of the Final MBBS and the merit list and performance anxiety of the long and short cases are the perfect blend to make a person insane. People say setting short term goals would help in this situation and I have been doing that for the past 5...
