Ever wanted to become a doctor?

Here is a question - how many of us wanted to become a doctor? I'm sure one in every 5 kids at least would have dreamt of becoming one during their school days, but in reality we would have settled down with whatever came our way or the choice would have been according to our percentile that we scored in our board examinations. I'm sure Indian parents provide only 2 choices to their kids, either you become a doctor or an engineer.(Period)
So in a world with less choices we all studied our heart out, attended umpteen number of tuitions, special classes & scored some good mark & got into say engineering(in my case & many others). I have always been thinking about that one thing, "what it takes to be a doctor -- how many lives would we be playing with, how many lives would we have saved, how many times would we have seen somebody dying in our own hands.....wow. The very thought of being a doctor makes me think, they are one of a kind who gets the pleasure of treating diseases and (not to forget) they are the receivers of blessings from the patients who recovered well and also the receivers of flak and ridicule from the ones who did not respond to the treatment, overall it is a wonderful career with humongous amount of satisfaction to say the least.
Now, coming to this American medical comedy/drama series "Scrubs", if the above said paragraphs define you or feel like you, then go ahead and watch this series - it is sure to bring happiness, sadness, questions, dilemmas, love, hatred, fun and above all the series gives a feel-good picture of how your life would have been had you been a doctor. The acting skills of Zach Braff(Intern doctor) , John C. McGinley(Chief doctor) are commendable. Give it a try!

Google Glass - All that you might want to know!

Google showcased the concept of " Google Glass " in 2012, but for the past couple of months people( 500 to 600 so far ) started using the Glass and have come up with mixed reviews, with the feedback slightly tilting towards the negative side. Well, it is just a beta version(a test version)! The good thing about Google is that, they have sold Glasses only to app developers, testers and couple more and not to general public. Google is open to feedback and ready to fix problems and make them fool proof, before selling them to general public. I have been following this topic for quite sometime now and have read nearly 100 articles on this. Hence, I'm more or less capable of imparting some knowledge gained theoretically and sharing the same here. Is it a computer, a tablet, a phone or what on earth is ' Google Glass' ? Google Glass is a head-mounted wearable technology(or a computer) that easily rests on your nose and ears very similar to a pair of glasses, only that ...

What NOT to do with Social Media!

“What happens in 'Vegas' stays in 'Vegas'; what happens on 'Twitter' stays on 'Google' forever!” - Jure Klepic Ever heard this quote before? Although, the quote is sarcastic, isn't it scary? For the past one week, we have been hearing news about NSA( National Security Agency ), PRISM( A Govt. program, where corporates are supposed to provide user's data shared in social media and call records to Govt. ) & several other Govt. agencies gathering personal data out of social media et al. Here comes the question: Why do NSA or Govt. spy on our personal information? What do they achieve, by doing this? A brief overview -> According to me, Govt. and the National Security agencies have always spied on the shared information available online. Only now, we are getting to know that our data is being monitored, thanks to a Whistle Blower named " Edward Snowden ". Why is this freaking people out? Mainly because of over-sharing of personal ...

A mini story and a lesson for life!

This is one of my favorite short stories. I got this story as a forwarded mail long back. There are only 2 lines in the story but the take away is worth spending couple of minutes. Not everyday we come across intense yet thought provoking stories( whoever that wrote the story, kudos to you boss! ). The Story: A grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one." The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?" The grandfather answered: " The one I feed." My Analogy: What a powerful reply from the Grandfather! Isn't it? This is a very important scenario, mainly because it states no matter what the circumstance is - it is always "we" who decide as to which path to follow, which decision to take, which mountain to climb! Have you ever acted in ways that were u...
