IT'S YOUR DEPARTURE

IT'S YOUR DEPARTURE

It's your departure
But why are you in hurry?

Let me see you properly
Before I place you on the pyre
How an ordinary person looks
I search behind the still eyes

Now you can drop the mask
Of name and fame and glory
That trickster mirror asked
you to believe as your life-story

It is your departure
But why are you in hurry?

***
Life-Bird, do not fly away
Remain perched a while

Before you take-off
Wake up to some realities
See how many show up 
In your funeral procession now

How many have been able
To get up from their table of worries
And go up to your door
To offer you their final oblation?

It is your departure
But why are you in hurry?
***
Forget about these formalities
Forgive them for their failure to do so

I don’t know why all this need and greed
When life is just a stage-play
A play of musical chairs
And when your seat is gone

Why are you sad
For losing what was never forever yours?

It is your departure
But why are you in hurry?

Goldman's Algorithm for Chest Pain

Goldman Algorithm for Chest Pain The history of cardiac care had it's turning point in 2001 when the Goldman's Algorithm was first adopted by a hospital called Cook County in Chicago. What happened that led to this breakthrough? The churning began a few years earlier in 1995 . Cook County was the city’s principal public hospital and famous for harbouring the world’s first blood bank. Also for being the place where cobalt-beam therapy had been pioneered. Of late, however, the hospital was in a mess. With cavernous wards with no air conditioning, no private room, telephone or cafeteria, with bells ringing all the while due to understaffed nurses, with noisy private TVs and radios of overcrowded patients, it was a crazy place desperately in need of a haul up. There was another problem. There were 2.5 lakh emergency patients complaining of chest pain in a year. But only 10% of the patients admitted into the cardiac care were true cases. In the summer of 1995 , the hospital g...

Drop

Drop the callous slight of others Drop the jealous sight of others Drop the hurt from them Drop for them your envy Drop the burden That these things levy Drop the material things That tie you down Drop your own being From your clutches own All your accomplishments amount  To feeble footprints on the shore Even before you finish your count They will be washed away to the core You are a fish So swim and swim and swim  Or a bird, if you wish Fly and fly and fly to the brim Before you become soil again Sculpt yourselves into your best avataar Before you douse, your oil drains Burn and glow and alight afar
