The Miner's Diary

  Mining is often regarded as threat to environment and living entities. In general, people see its negative impact more than its positive ones. Any human activity today has its both advantages and disadvantages. The modern technology offers us the most comfortable lifestyle at its worst negative impacts to the history of mankind. Only handful of people today live the life that is of the purpose. Similarly, mining has been the human tool for civilization and modern development. The contribution of mining in modern era is unmatched to any advanced global industries. Not to forget that even the basic necessities like water, food, shelter and infrastructures are the results of mining and yet the polemic stand of the people for mining still exists. The negative impacts of the mining to the environment, human and the wildlife are inevitable yet controllable and mitigable. There is no direct or immediate threat to lives unlike the fishes we are losing in the dams to light our home wh...

In your arms I took my first breath, In your arms I cried my voice in gust, In your arms I suckled on soft breast, In your arms I shall breathe out my last!   Your audacious voice was so soothing, To my mother fighting with labor pain, Your spotless hands were so bolstering, Your service to the humanity not in vain!     You’re awake in duty when I was asleep, Sacrificed your precious life to save mine, Your love and care for patients are deep, Your act of compassion to embed in shrine!   I keep my hope in you when god fails, I surrender my body second life to begin, I listen to your story that tells life to sail, I close my eyes in poise to animate again!     My body and skin are delicate once again, I come to your loving arms for final adieu, I know my form this time would not regain,  For you I owe nothing but immense thankyou!  Picture source: Bridging Healthcare

My door is always closed but open for you all. I will welcome everyone with all my joyful heart. You can always make your visit at your nature call. You can feel free to breathe your lungs out with fart. I often serve you at the lowest pay for your highest job. I see no rich or poor but offer my service at same rate. I always maintain your privacy behind the closed knob. I always care your waste well as you did just after you ate.  You visit me with your sick face but you return with smile. You walk confidently to your place with your relaxed mind. I want you to be at your best health to walk strong extra mile. These vital services I deliver to you all is never your hard find. I do offer extra services to you beside preserving your feces. For some I offer my room as their own hot chimney tower. For some my safe space provide the briefest romance places. I surrender you my secure space as it is under your full power.  Yet I get the least gratitude from the same patient I treate...

When the doors are closed, the windows are always open. So, let us look outside from inside. This lockdown may be nightmare for many of us but blessing in disguise for those who live the real life. It is the time to unlock ourselves inside out. It is the time we explore what is really Inside. Inside our house. Inside our garden. Inside our community. Inside our country and most importantly inside our Mind.  Is our house clean enough to be safe from any common diseases not to mention the deadly Virus called COVID-19 which has paralyzed the whole World? Does our house qualify to be called as Home with love and peace within? For we are guided by the philosophy of Gross National Happiness. Do we have some flowers in the garden to beautify our surrounding? Do we have some fruits and vegetables at least for self consumption? If not our National goal for self sufficiency would remain as far dream. Does our community have same goal and mindset? Or do we simply leave it to the elected Local...

Our forefathers probably didn't see a hospital in their lives but our generations life begins there and ends there. The first lap for them was their mothers while today's millennial was a the trained nurses in the labor room. It was then either at home or in the forest with or without delivery team. They were delicate and soft probably with closed eyes yet they grew strong and lived 100. The millennial was just opposite with open eyes to wink to the nurses and looked healthy yet it is hard for us to make through 60s. It was more of natural birth and healthy life they lived through unlike us in era of chemicals and drugs. We are the most advanced and comfortable generation to live on earth with the sophisticated technology today yet neither technology nor God is able to make humans most wished goal to live healthy and long possible. This is the irony of life. Thus, one is sure to visit the hospitals atleaset thrice in a life time even if one is healthy and strong. Some unfortuna...
