The author at the age of seventy opens his mind to health hazards and how to overcome them

Survival of The Fittest

As a senior citizen at seventy, I have gone through many trials and tribulations all these years. But as a sound opening batsman, I had the guts to face many health hazards with grit and determination. At a young age, I had the problem of piles (with blood), but I made it a point to visit my family doctor and consulted nearby hospitals to make sure of the best ways and means to get rid of the problem. My doctor was a Sikh from Punjab and he gave medicines and advised me to eat Isabgol husk to help me get rid of the constipation problem. He gave me an important tip to push the protruding piles back inside with my finger. This simple method helped me to lead a good life and attend my office duties regularly without taking sick leave throughout my career. The doctor is no more now but still I thank him every day in my mind. The problem is fully cured now and, even at this stage, I feel comfortable and never have any problem.

कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)

क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
