LOVE: The Narrative

So, I didn't write this (chuckles).
It was written by a final year medical student- somebody will now tell me medical students have no life outside their books (*yinmu*).
Enjoy this beautiful narrative.

When you love what you can’t have!

Oh let us be clear, loving who you can’t have!

You stay awake all night thinking about her

It causes you pain but you still love her

You go about in the day carrying the burden

Here you go…she smiles back at you

Your day is beautifully made.

You wish she sees things the way you do

You wish she feel things the way you do

At some point, you tell yourself ‘she does’

But only get more pain b’cos you are uncertain

Then, you hope and pray the feeling passes

You even try to block  thoughts of her

Alas, days have gone, months have passed, years have elapsed

She is ‘the’ what makes the order of your emotions, thoughts and feelings

The one fear you have most!!!

She never gets to know how exactly you feel

Then you live most of your days unhappy,

You'd probably die carrying a burden to the grave

No!

So you finally summoned courage

To go utter your mind to her.

You got to the door- you couldn’t knock

Alright, let’s do this…

You knocked and you are welcomed in

Now, your tongue is stuck to the roof

Then you smile- finally you speak

Just came to say hi

Oh! Oh! Oh!

I think I’m gonna be out of my mind

I’m just gonna say it

Yeah! You did…

And finally you found out, the feeling is mutual

She also loved what she could not have

But why?

Its all procedural.

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

#POETRY# MOMENTS

So, it’s another Monday. Today’s poem is on moments, appreciating them and taking second looks at the seemingly mundane. Enjoy! MOMENTS You never know, you just never know There he was last night, holding your hands, Looking into your eyes with passion beyond expression, And then; here he was this morning, telling a sad tale of never! Who knew love could become so tasteless overnight? It had seemed over in less than a flash; So much for the deep love you shared. Where it all ends, you just never know! Memories of baby’s not so far away childhood, Flickered before her eyes like a dimly lit flame Was it not just last summer she had started crawling? And in what appeared to be less than 24hours, She had walked, jumped and taken sandwiches to school And now, she fit smugly into a graduation gown, cape and all, Her baby was now a grown woman And those memories were all she had left! He stroked her tapered fingers lovingly as he wept by her beds...

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches. Branc...
