Reflections on the journey through 2023 have been a profound learning into the complexities of life, akin to navigating through a maze of professional, personal, emotional, sentimental and familial challenges. As I sit here in the final week of the year, the external facade of control belied the internal maelstrom that persisted, known only to the depths of my own being. At times I enjoyed this inner struggle to come out of the situation. Throughout this tumultuous but remarkable year, I endeavored to employ every learned life skill and experience to weather the storms, yet often found myself in the throes of inner turmoil, occasionally erupting into harsh external manifestations. While there were moments of brilliance, quietness, and remarkable events, the overarching narrative was one of enduring internal strife, conflict, and confusion.The solitude which I was used to was no where. In the midst of this chaos, I grappled with the struggle to exist in the present moment, wrestling wi...

Change Management for Hospital Information Management System (HIMS) The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress. Charles Kettering Health transformation through digital means is not about technology but about people, changing the mindset and embracing the change. In this context it is most important for any digitally enabled health transformation project to ensure that the change through HIMS implementation is sustainable across all user groups. Core users, such as doctors and nurses, need to understand why the change is happening, how it can benefit them individually, and how it will impact their day-to-day activities. Additionally, it is important to communicate how integrated HIMS will make their work easier. Clear communication and training can help ensure a successful implementation and adoption of the new system. The ADKAR model for change management is a widely used framework for managing change and can be effective in digital transform...

     Wednesday, 5th August 2020 will go in the World History and more particularly in Indian History for several centuries as the moment of triumph for the believer and worshiper of Sri Ram as the foundation was laid for grand Ram temple at the same place where it existed till 1528.    1528 was the year when Ram temple was demolished at Ayodhya and Babri Masjid was erected on the same land. It was a most cowardly and sinister act in the human history done during initial Mughal rules (1527-1761) in India. The Hindu faith were compromised , tormented through this act to send a subtle message to the majority Hindu community that their religious freedom , dignity  at stake with advent of alien muslin rule in the country. It was a moment of shame, fear, angst and frustration for the Hindu community in India and of their utter helplessness to stop such action. It left a strong imprint on the heart and mind of Hindus and it passes generation to generatio...

    I have keenly watched and notice that selfishness increases with the age. I mean selfishness to certain aspects of material life. Selfishness towards one's  health in old age should certainly increase with the age. But here I mean overly self- centered, self serving, stingy to others both emotionally as well as materially. As if life start revolving around few. The opposite of selfishness is self sacrifice who supports and help others.       It bothers me because my understanding since childhood was that with age one become experienced, exposed,matured and practicality of life makes one to understand the meaning of human life better and also the mortality. Life is not immortal and everyone has to depart and this should teach us more compassion, more support to others, more giving and helping. This is my understanding of  life maturing with the age ,inculcate the sense of giving  and preparing yourself to depart on a happy and giving note....

It is a old custom/tradition in almost all Hindu families in India to worship their Kula-Devata in the month of Sawan ( July-August). Sawan is also known as the month of Shiva and every Monday special worship of Shiva being done by all Shaivites across the country in Shiva temple  but particularly very important in North India. The Kula-devata or Kuladeva or Kuldevi puja takes place every year in the  month of Sawan and thats'why also known as Sawani puja. The kuladevata is actually the ancestral patron God worshiped by successive generations of a clan and treated as the divine protector and guardian of the family. The Kuladevata is different from the personal God ( Isht-Devata) or village deities. This year I got an opportunity to be part of Kuladevata puja at my ancestral house which is  more than 100 years old and the Kuladevata worship place is at same place since the construction of ancestral house by our forefathers. I don't remember my last  Kuladevata puja bu...

It reminds me the book of Gabriel Garcia Marquez , " Love in the Time of Cholera". I am sure there will be some compelling love , romance and human touch during Corona time as well. But largely the Corona time of 2020 is a big shift in terms of human and  social interaction for the society. This is true for both who got infected and  those taking precaution and safety not to. The agony for those who got infected is unbearable due to isolation/quarantine and this makes them bereft of seeing their loved ones and also the care providers. It is slowly instilling a strong sense of alienation, depression and mental agony. People are not getting the food for heart through human interaction , touching , talking, seeing and feeling. The life is more difficult for those under treatment in hospitals ,slowly getting robotic and mechanical and becoming getting a untouchable thing . The human touch is missing and it is frightening them to their core. The corona fear is not only limited to ...

Different pulls in different directions for mind , body and soul makes one indecisive. The trios act independently on their own frequency without synchronisation. The task become so tough when the desires of mind , body and soul are at loggerheads. A vicious war starts in the mind to know which one is right and takes one to right path. This duality of right and wrong keeps one confused and ultimately leads to status quo or no decision.this breeds stillness in thought and act. To come out of this stillness would be the first task.

Life presents a dilemma. Mind knows the answer and its reason but the heart always like to deny it. The tussle between both creates a situation where you are torn between the reason and your desires. There are days when mind overtakes heart and prevails. But lo when it seems that confusion is over it resurfaces again and this time on the day powered by heart. You are again in a  flux situation. Which way to go! This goes on   goes on and by this you keep unnecessary thinking and at the end no result. After a long time you find that you simply wasted your precious time,energy and happiness. This becomes even more interesting when it have another actor. Situation becomes more complex . when your heart prevails then other person mind and vice versa. This keeps going on make miserable both lives. The only solution is to sync your heart with the other person or sync mind and take a decision that suits both. Otherwise left, this play will drain vital energy of both. Choice is...
