My life is divided into two phases where one phase consists of me having so many dreams and big ambitions and the other phase where I adore them and eventually attain them….
I consider myself extremely lucky and blessed because whenever I dream big, either I develop courage for hard work or I get support of really amazing people which in turn results in achieving my dreams..
When I got admission in medical university, I used to observe a lot during my way to university which was one hour drive, and as well as in hospital surroundings … The thing which caught my attention first was those poor people who couldn’t afford their treatment or medications. I saw parents asking for discharge from hospital only because they didn’t have money for the treatment of their child. This made me very sad and I used to wonder what those parents be going through who themselves ask to withdraw in between treatment of their child.
One day, early in the morning when I was going to university I saw this man with his small wooden Ferris wheel with two kids sitting in that…he was manually pushing the wheel and I could hear giggles of those children from across the road… the only thing I was thinking was, how generous financially unstable people are in real life when compared with us ,who have minimum 3,4 varieties of food at a single meal time are so messed up in minute issues that we often don’t realize how lucky we are…
That day, I decided to do something productive for them…I came back home, posted a paragraph in my university group that I plan to give gift boxes to the needy patients in hospital so anyone who wants to join in is most welcomed…that was the start…the very first step...and my senior came to me, she organized everything and helped me to step up by making this official…
I got permission from my Dean…and eventually I made my own welfare organization at the age of 20…I never imagined that one single thought can transform into something so huge and life changing for people. I was in first year of my university when I started this and now I stand at a place where my pass out seniors tell me how proud they are of me and how they wanted to help people but never had courage to make a platform of their own.
The place where I am, there are many NGOs who are providing free diagnostic tests so I decided to do something which would be of more help. My organization’s aim is to provide free of cost medicines to the needy patients. We dispatch free medicines on regular basis and also had a session on health education in a primary school…we conducted different competitions as fun activities to get them involved….one of those activities included drawing competition.. When I saw those drawings, I loved each and every picture….I came across a card with a very pretty face with stethoscope and inside it said….Dear Doctor, I love you...
Nothing in the world can be compared with this feeling of love and acceptance…the prayers and the way patients greet you when they see you helping them relieve their pain is something which can’t be described in words…
I wish we can be more useful for our fellow people and help each other at the time of need and develop a better living standard for each of us.
