Happy women's day

Dear Friends
#HappyWomensDay

Unfortunately, dear Reader, human history has witnessed many gross injustices done to females through the ages.  In the olden days in the Arab world when girls were born, they would be silenced soon after their first cry, till the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, put an end to this menace. On the Indian subcontinent, until Raja Ram Mohan Roy and others put an end to it, the unfortunate custom known as “Sati” which demanded that women cast themselves onto their husband’s funeral pyre, persisted for centuries.  Nowadays so-called educated and advanced man has gone still farther, and has been choking female foetuses while still in the womb, “the female foeticide”.  It must have affected millions of girl babies so far and has naturally created serious gender imbalances in many parts of the world.  The contribution of women to the world has been and is still enormous, and was wonderfully summed up by William Ross Wallace in his poem ‘What Rules the World?’ when he wrote that the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. It illustrates the influence a mother has on her child and, in the long run, on society itself.  From this, we understand that by yielding to her natural maternal instinct to nurture and teach her child, a woman explicitly makes the world a much better place. This puts a great responsibility on the medical fraternity to stop female foeticide, which is nothing short of murder.  An antipathy against female children in any society would soon disappear when women are enabled to become strong citizens at par with men. This is possible only by means of education for girls, in every sense of the word. They should be taught self-defence as well, so that the devil’s evil eye remains at bay. A step further towards this goal will be made when society simplifies its customs and offers equal opportunities to all. Only then will this unfortunate male imposed gender inferiority of women disappear from our planet. Destruction of this wonderful creation of the Almighty would soon become a thing of the past.

Preface : Bumpy Roads( Glimpses in the meadows of memory)

Preface 
        This book is my view of the many and diverse happenings in my life so far, recorded as clearly as my memory allowed.  The music of ink in this book reflects eventful periods of my life-- my real life experiences. 
        I do not claim to be a reputed author as I am but a humble physician from an average middle-class family. Playing with the strings of my heart, I have tried to compose tunes to resonate with yours. 
       This book is essentially a travelogue, but also a travelogue through life itself, containing what I hope are universal messages for all readers. I have taken the reader on a tour of all the three divisions of Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh 
The chapter  “A Narrow escape” in the book highlights how I survived in blast injury. Having lived through the wonderful ways in which my friends rallied round to help me, irrespective of their religion, origin or caste, the warmth of friendship and kindness melted all the masks and barriers in my mind. I don’t feel any race is superior or any color is inferior, and I certainly don’t believe in regionalism or the nasty caste system. I only believe in humanity and that we are all precious creation of God Almighty. Hence I  dedicate this work to Global Peace and to the Love of Humanity. I pray that you enjoy reading this book reaping some benefits from it and also learning some of the lessons it contains, with one goal, the “Love of Humanity”. Friends, we are all mortal and spend a very short time in this world. Every one of us plays some role here and finally becomes part of the dust. Let us play our sincere roles and try to make the world a beautiful and better place.

    Excerpts from Bumpy Roads (Football matches in Kashmir)

     
    When I think of the football games in my Valley, my heart swells with happy memories. For me, it was a great joy to watch football matches in the serene college grounds of Sopore (Subhan Stadium). With a wonderful twist of his body, Mr. Abdullah from Srinagar would dribble the ball skillfully down the center of the field and blow on his whistle. At this signal, the players would charge down the football field as if it was the war of 1812, and play their hearts out until his final whistle signaled the end of the game. Both teams would play awesomely well in these games, and of course one team would come out victorious at their end, unlike in war, where no nation ever really wins.I think of some of players of that time and the image of Mr. Farooq Ahmad (Farooqi) of the Road Transport Corporation's team comes into my mind. He would kick the ball so forcefully and with such accuracy all the way from the center of the field, so that that it would either only require a short kick to reach the goal; sometimes it would land directly in the goal. The quick reflexes of Mr. Ghulam Hassan Anim and Abdul Majeed Kakroo (Police Department football team) would make them the team treasure. Some players had unique nick names which wonderfully summarized their talent. The famous trio of Mr. Ghulam Haasan Kar, Dr Atta Mohammad & Mr. Bashir Ahmad Kanna were known as Trishul (trident) because of their fast reflexes and excellently timed coordination. They would not just play the game, but instead let us spectators reflect that they could compose fine tunes with it.



    Making short passes, they would keep maneuvering the ball to the defensive side. We knew that unless Mr Ghulam Rasool (Lassa waza )of the Food and Supplies Department team or Mr Siraju-din from Baramulla football team were playing on the opposing side, a goal would invariably be made. We were privileged to see Mr. Noor Mohd Bisati, Mr. D. Dar of Wular Sports, Mr. Ghulam Qadir Kachroo, Mr. Habibullah Ganie, Mr. Wali Mohd. Anim, and Mr. Abdul Gani (Baramulla) running like gazelles in their games. After getting a short pass somewhere near the goalpost, the late Mr. Ghulam Hassan Dar would leap like salmon and with a single head shot flying past him, the goal keeper would stand watching the football gliding deep inside his goal. Similarly,after getting a pass near the corner of the field, the late Mr. Abdul Ghani Miskeen (poet and player) would arch his body miraculously and appear almost to float in air at an angle for a while before and kicking the ball impeccably deep into the goal.The game used to be played with the utmost discipline and professionalism. No sooner did the sharp eyes of the late Mr. Abdul Subhan Janwari, the football legend, catch sight of any misconduct during the game than his forceful blast on the whistle would almost cause the steps of the defaulter to freeze on the spot. The linesmen, Mr. Mahraj Kishan (Kakaji) on the one side, and Mr. Abdul Rashid Khan on the other, could often be seen to be running faster than the players themselves. At times they would be seen hopping like kangaroos, raising the flag immediately after a default, stopping the defaulter in his tracks.Their nonverbal communication would be something to behold. and often amazed us. If Mr. Abdul Khaliq Dar was performing his duties at the goal post, he would suddenly roll like a barrel and clasp the ball as if it was about to go down the drain off the field. These men had a huge passion for this game and there were lot of others, people like Mr. Abdul Subhan Janwari, Mr. Ghulam Nabi Khan, Mr Mohd. Amin Ganie - forgive me readers if I have left out any names - who would be behind the skill and beauty of these wonderful games, day in and day out. To my physician's eyes, games such as these are not only important for exercising muscles of the players in order that they remain fit, but they do help in distracting young people away from so many bad things in the world we live in today. I think especially of drug abuse, an ever growing menace all over the world. We must save our youth from drug abuse and encourage games all over the world. Alas things have changed since my early youth in the valley. I ask myself what has become of all this talent in the Valley. Where did it go? It seems that now my Valley is bleeding and drowning in its own tears. Who is it who has fixed it with an evil eye, and why, I sadly ask myself..........

    Excerpts from Bumpy Roads ( Chapter : - Medico in Green pastures)

    Down the track of Memories 
         “I am pleased to be here and to see you all. I have come to live among you, as rhizobium lives with legumes as a symbiont and not as a parasite”, with these words I started my job soon after my house job, as Medical Officer at the Faculty of Agriculture in Wadura  Sopore, Kashmir.   It was a happy coincidence that on that same day, the students were celebrating their fresher’s day and by addressing them thus, I was given the opportunity to share my emotions about the enormity of the task facing me. While acknowledging their applause, I was acutely aware of the lack of medical facilities at my disposal. For years the faculty had had no Medical Officer, and I could feel the weight of my responsibilities on my shoulders.
    “Doc! You are most welcome”, said the tall, well-built senior pharmacist Mr. Bashir Ahmad Nanda, as he took me around the College’s medical unit, which is situated on one corner of the lush green campus of the College. I made a quick assessment of available medical facilities, and together we started compiling a list of essential missing medicines, instruments etc. which would be needed for the unit. The senior pharmacist who came from Baramulla had been living in the Wadura village for years together and would visit his home on weekends. The loud sounds of his old Yazidi motor bicycle every Monday morning would mark his arrival back at the faculty. He had very good experience of the clinical problems found in the village, as he would practice there after hours.
    The faculty apartments were in the heart of a pear orchard. Although there was more staff housing available on that lush green campus, only two units were occupied, one by the late Dr. Nirmal Singh, the Dean, and another where I had started to live.

     Invariably, we would meet in the evenings after out day’s work. Dr. Nirmal Singh was a very dynamic administrator and he had a very good sense of humor. During the spring season, one could take very pleasant walks amongst the soothing white flowers. The Faculty is situated in more than 250 acres of beautiful lawns, and a large variety of flowers and fruit trees all providing a unique fragrance to the passerby.



    The Hurmukh range of mountains seem to safeguard the serenity of the campus. A small river called the Phoru  flows calmly along the exterior boundaries of the campus and a population of a few thousand souls live happily  on its banks.




    I would often come to collect post from the administrative section of the college from Mr. Ghualm Mohamad dar, Qibla, as I would often call him, as that used to be the only way I remained connected in that internet-less era. One day I met the late Prof J.D. Safaya while collecting the post and he took me to his office. He lit a cigarette and in between puffs he went on talking to me “Doc! this is a transit in your medical career. As long as you are here you should try to contribute as much as you can, and remember what Alexander Pope said hundreds of years ago, “Honor and shame doth no condition arise, act well your part there all the honor lies”. I patiently listened his peerless advice like any disciple should, and my only negative thought was that his smoking habit was both worrying and annoying me a lot. I felt it was too premature to counsel him directly at that juncture but I made up my mind to do so, albeit indirectly; consequently, I undertook my first study on high-risk smokers and associated risk factors of atherosclerosis on the campus.

    Excerpts from Bumpy Roads (Chapter :Medico in green pastures ,catchy cartoons)

    Down the track of memories:

    One day we decided to undertake a mass tetanus immunization program in the campus.
    Trying to immunize healthy students against tetanus was an uphill task. “Doc, I am really afraid no one will attend our program,” one of the staff members in the medical unit said.
    We decided to organize an orientation program, and during my “chalk talk,” I emphasized the importance of preventive medicine in the form of vaccination.
    “Friends, if you wish to participate, tell us more about your health in the past, whether you have any allergies or any chronic illnesses, complete this pro forma and submit it to the medical unit tomorrow.” “We’ll have a fun fair later,” I went on. “You can make cartoons, play musical chairs, sing, etc. tomorrow, and have some fun.” “But,” I cautioned, “you can make any cartoon of me, but please refrain from making cartoons about your teachers and your colleagues.” Soon after
    the orientation program had ended, all the students were seen boarding the college bus and leaving the campus. “No one will come tomorrow, Doc. They all have left,” said another employee of the medical unit gloomily.
    “Well,” I said, “we will wait from 9am to 2pm for them and that is all we can and must do.” The next day the weather was very nice and I came out quite early in the morning from
    my accommodation in the staff quarters. It was a pleasant walk through the pear orchard, and even more pleasant listening to the chirping and singing of the birds. At 9am, to our great surprise, we saw the students thronging in great numbers in their green coats, their official uniform, to the
    medical unit. They started showing us the most wonderful cartoons. Our idea of drawing and displaying cartoons had certainly unleashed their creativity! It became clear to all of us why the students had boarded the bus the day before. Yes, you guessed it – it was to get material from the local market in Sopore, as no such market was available on the campus or in the nearby village. It was amazing to see how the students had depicted their problems concerning campus water, electricity, boring hostel life, etc. in a very creative manner. The funniest cartoons were about me, and with their permission, I have preserved them for the last so many years now. I still feel that those were the best gifts depicting his patient-doctor relationships that any doctor could ever receive. Thanks to all of them....


    The funfair cum vaccination and blood grouping program went very nicely, and no efforts were required to inject students with the further two doses required in order to complete the program. Data from those proformas formed the basis of a useful database, as they revealed that there were 18 students who were allergic to sulfa drugs, few were allergic  to penicillin and that some had significant family histories.

    N:B: Tetanus toxoid immunization program has been recommended by American College of Surgeons for agricultural workers and researchers because of their close contact with soil that harbors tetanus spores makes them particularly vulnerable to tetanus. It consists of three doses of Injection tetanus toxoid at 0, 30days and after 6-12 months.Then every 10years single dose.

    تمهيد
    ألحان الحبر في هذا الكتاب تعكس فترات زاخرة بالأحداث من حياتي. عزفتها على أوتار قلبي لأخرج ألحانا يتنغم عليها القارئ. هذا الكتاب صورة عن رحلة، لكنها رحلة في الحياة نفسها، فهو يحتوي ما آمل ان يكون رسالة عالمية لجميع القراء. يتكون الكتاب من قسمين، القسم الأول يحتوي على تجارب حياتي الواقعية منذ فترة المدرسة حتى الدراسة في كلية الطب مركزا على التعليم والتوعية وإدارة الوقت. القسم الثاني يركز على الحياة الصحية وكيفية تجنب التدخين، الكحول وتعاطي المخدرات حيث أظهرت الدراسات أن أفضل طريقة للإبتعاد عن هذه الآفات الضارة هو الوعي بآثارها المدمرة.
    إضافة إلى ما سبق فإني اصطحب القارئ الكريم في رحلة إلى المقاطعات الثلاث: جامو، كشمير و لاداخ مركزا على تاريخها المجيد وثقافتها وطبيعتها الجميلة في الحواشي بعد أكثر الفصول. إحدى القصص في الكتاب "هروب صعب" تظهر كيف نجوت من إصابة في انفجار. حيث عشت فترة رائعة حينما اجتمع اصدقائي لمساعدتي بعد ذلك الحادث الرهيب بغض النظر عن أديانهم أو أصولهم أو طبقاتهم. دفء صداقتهم ولطفهم أذاب كل الأقنعة والحواجز في عقلي. لا أؤمن أن هناك عرق أفضل أو أن هناك لونا أقل أفضلية، وأنا بالتأكيد لا أؤمن بالإقليمية أو بالنظام الطبقي القبيح.  لذللك فقد كرست عملي هذا من اجل السلام العالمي وحب الإنسانية.
    ولا أنسى أن أعبر عن عظيم امتناني لوالدي وعائلتي وأصدقائي ومعلميّ وأقاربي الذين كانوا عونا على إكمال هذا العمل. وأود أن انتهز الفرصة هنا لأقدم خدمتي الصحية التعليمية بالمجان على صفحتي على فيسبوك.
     بعد قراءة الكتاب، أرجو إرسال ملاحظاتكم على صفحتي على فيسبوك أو على الإيميل. قراءة سعيدة
