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.

LOVE-CLERKING

A few days ago, we discussed clerking. We’d use that basic knowledge in clerking an individual presenting with certain complaints. History Taking Biodata: Patient X is a 22 year old male Afghanistan student. Presenting complaints: Tachycardia, Sleeplessness, lack of focus History of presenting complaints: first symptom- insomnia (sleeplessness), followed by tachycardia (increase in heart beat), and then, loss of focus. First noticed about 3 weeks ago. Past medical history: Relatively healthy individual, treated for malaria 2 months ago. Has no history of insomnia or tachycardia. Physical Examination Examine cardiovascular system with stethoscope. Examine the lungs as well as the neurological system. Provisional diagnosis Patient is undergoing mental stress, and this is taking a toll on his heart and brain Investigations Laboratory tests are carried out on patient’s blood Due to the neurological and psychological nature of this problem, other areas are also in...

#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...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
