Why the patient was talking during colonoscopy?

Because he had his call on.

On discovering silk


According to the legend,
When a Chinese empress
was resting under the canopy
of mulberry tree in the liquid sunlight,
she noticed a silkworm cocoon in her tea cup
When she lifted it with her long slender fingers,
the cocoon began to unravel
into beautiful fine silk
Isn't this a metaphor for purpose of life?
You discover it
when it was infront of you
all this while
Quite unintentionally
and without warning

It's 4.30 am
Operation theater is blasting
With telugu and Punjabi songs
To suck sleep from surgeon's eyes.
The grandma lays on the table
Telling me, how she has nobody at home
To take care of her.

It's 4.45 am
Operation theater is blasting
With kannada songs
Surgeon asks me, what's the post op advice
You would give to patient with AKA
Before I could answer, he laughs and says
That she should pray to God to take her
Before her wound gets infected again.

It's 5.00 am
Sleep spills in my eyes
Like the blood on my gown
I ask the relative if they want grandma's foot.
They shake their heads.
The Operation theater is quieter now.

When the people dressed
In ironed attire
Will stand in the same line as
Those in torn clothes,
My country will gain
Independence

When the daughters will walk
Confidently on lonely lanes
Without carrying pepper spray
In the folds of their sarees,
My country will gain
Independence

When the youth will break free
From the shackles of silence
When the black money won't be
Divided among the cackling shadows,
My country will gain
Independence.
