A teacher...

I have been teaching Anaesthesiology at Mediciti institute of medical sciences Hyderabad after retirement from my service in Army Medical Corps. Oliver Wendell Holmes gave the term Anaesthesia... Wonder, who gave the term teacher. When I joined the department of anaesthesia at Comd Hospital Air Force Bangalore in 1989, I never knew that someday I would be teaching anaesthesiology myself. But now, I love teaching and yes now I know what should be the good qualities of a teacher. Engaging students in learning is not all that easy. You need to have patience and kind personality. Before teaching anything, the teacher should have knowledge of the subject matter and clear objectives of the lesson. You should have passion for teaching and love for the subject. Good teachers are always warm, enthusiastic and always accessible. Communication and imagination are great assets in teaching and yes the teacher should himself constantly learn before teaching others. Yes, I want to be scholar, researcher and a life long learner...

The power of two words of Praise...

I'm a MD Post graduate students teacher for anaesthesiology. I have done little study on students behavior and importance of compliments and praises and incentives to encourage students in positive way and steering students towards excellence. Let me tell you friends that nothing stimulate more and increase productivity and excellent results than sincere appreciation and recognition of someone's work. It's better to give compliments right away. And giving genuine compliment can elicit desired positive results. Never underestimate the power of your words and genuine compliment. But you must know the right way to say it... It comes only after many years of sincere efforts. Praise should be given to the concerned only when appropriate, otherwise it can become ineffective. Sincere compliment definitely create an intrinsic desire in the students to do better and achieve greater results in shortest possible time. Ask yourself, have you ever praised or given genuine compliments to your students openly in the class or privately. If not, think again, you can easily change someone's life, career and future with two words of your appreciation. Col Pradeep Pendyala anaesthesiologist.

Funny names...

Western names are quirky and funny, whereas Indians love to have very interesting names. South Indian names are usually very long... My best friend's father's name was Somayajulu Venkata Seetarama Shankar Annaji Rao. Indian names vary from region to region and also influenced by caste, religion and are sometimes are even influenced by legendary Hero or famous novel or drama character. Often there's a mismatch in the name of the person and what he or she's actually in real life. I saw few ladies with the name Asha being most pessimistic in real life... A person may be named as Satyanand but I rarely find him speaking the truth. That really pains me. When I see parents abusing their children who were named by them as Rama or a Lakshmi, I often felt, our western counterparts with their funny and quirky names are much better option. Shall we call ourself a Mr Dan ( Druff), Billy, Polly or Pat Fanny. 😊😊Col Pendyala Pradeep anaesthesiologist.

Seven characters...

We do play seven characters in our life, being infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, justice, Pantalone ( a cunning and rapacious yet often deceived) and old age, facing imminent death. Interestingly, in Hinduism, human life is believed to comprise four stages... Brahmacharya or the student stage, Grihastha or the householder stage and Vanaprastha or the hermit stage and lastly, Sanyasa or the wandering ascetic stage. We do explore, grow and try to get enlightened as per our priorities. Life is a continuous progress...grow, develop and mature. Somewhere in these stages of growth, we learn how to function within our society. Our financial priorities change during different phases of our life. Childhood and adolescence are the most interesting...we have energy, we have time but we don't have money. Adulthood, when we work for living and try to sustain a family at that time, we have energy and money. Old age...post retirement life, we try to spend time with our family and grandchildren.
