Nincompoop...??

I always knew that a thin line separates a nincompoop (fool) and a brilliant person. Trust me, a fool can become a hero and vice versa. A fool is one who thinks he is wise because of his intelligence and thinks he is powerful because of his position. Similarly,there's a thin line between bravery and stupidity. And there's a thin line between confidence and arrogance. Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen as per Winston Churchill. Similarly, arrogance is thinking you are above someone else and confidence is knowing no one is above you. Trust me there are always simple solutions for our complex problems and never forget that keeping things simple is actually being a genius, but certainly not a fool.

Karma...

I believe in Karma...Karma is the result of a person's actions as well as the actions themselves.Thus good karma produces good effect on the person and bad karma would produce bad effect. It is like vicious cycle and virtuous cycle.This effect may be material, moral or emotional... one's karma affects one's happiness and unhappiness...that's for sure. Let us have right view, right resolve, right speech, right conduct and right livelihood. Karma as action and reaction... if we show goodness, we will reap goodness. It is very hard to accept the theory of karma and rebirth which obviously raises numerous questions...such as how, when, and why did the cycle start in the first place ? One of the significant controversies with the karma doctrine is whether it always implies destiny...and yes, karma-rebirth doctrine cannot be proven. Whatever may be the controversy and confusion about Karma, one thing is sure, If you sow evil, you will reap evil in the form of suffering.... and if you sow goodness, you will reap goodness in the form of inner joy.

Living life with real passion...

Doing something which we love, that we don't consider a job is our passion. If we know our real passion, we have discovered our purpose of living. If you are still confused about your real passion try to remember what you loved doing as a child...that's your real passion. Let us not presume that our passion should be our job. But if it is so, we should call ourselves very lucky. Passion generally means something we love to do. Passion is an emotion that comes from within us. It is our enthusiasm, our zeal, our drive and our motivation. Our passion can be anything that simultaneously challenges us, intrigues us and motivates us. Passion is the energy that keeps us going, that keeps us filled with meaning, and of course happiness, excitement, and anticipation. Let us separate our hobbies from our passions ...
Let us identify our values... live our beliefs and follow the joy of living life with our real passion. Col Pendyala Pradeep Anaesthesiologist.

Look young...

Trust me, when we are happy, fun-loving and open to new ideas, our mind and body stays youthful. Complaining and focusing on the negative thoughts might age us faster. Laughter is definitely good for our health, but if we smile a lot and laugh a lot, we are perceived to be younger than we actually are. Taking good care of our health and grooming always help our confidence level. Staying active keeps our joints mobile and our hearts working with the added oxygen of exercise. Those who don't drink, don't smoke, eat healthy nutritious foods stay younger much longer than those who do the opposite. Society is obsessed with youth but they don't want to do anything to be youthful for long. I often see people trying too hard to look young by wearing funny clothes which don't suit them. Age is definitely an evolving process but we can easily postpone ageing by being regular at our gym, more conscious of what we eat and by avoiding smoking and drinking altogether. Now please go to the gym regularly and do some exercise regularly and put on your best fitting jeans and a matching tee shirt. Check your posture and walk elegantly and wear your best smile all the time. Col Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist.

Hungry Kya...??

Reading is one of the most powerful habits that can change our life for better. As far as I know, all the happy and successful people were ardent readers. I do love people who keep themselves hungry for success and happiness. Frankly, success is a journey not a destination. Success and happiness are bound to come when we put sincere efforts. I did mention that we need to be hungry for success and happiness...wouldn't you like to know what's being hungry for success and happiness. Being hungry means that we need to be aggressively ambitious or competitive. Perhaps, it originates from a need to overcome past defeats or it is because our desire to succeed and happiness is so great. We need to remind ourselves of our purpose everyday. We must write down our ideal lifestyle and what the perfect life looks like for us and put a lot of time into our purpose, goals, and the things that motivate us. Being successful means the achievement of desired visions and planned goals...and yes, attaining wealth, prosperity and fame. Hope you are hungry ...I love Upma...dear Miss Anupma...Col Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist.

A must watch....

You can save a Life...

The 108 Emergency Ambulance Service is a 24x7 service, which anyone can avail by dialing the number 108 on their phone during any medical emergency. 
23rd October 2018 was declared as Restart a Heart Day by Indian Resuscitation Council which was an initiative of Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists. Thousands of people across India were imparted training in Compression Only Life Support (COLS) in one day across India to celebrate the World Start A Heart Day today. The main activity of this was to teach effective chest compression which should be performed continuously till help arrives if you witness a cardiac arrest. If the rescuer is alone, then he should activate the emergency medical system or ambulance services himself for early transfer of the victim for definitive treatment. The rate of chest compression should be 120/min and compression depth should be at least 5 cm but not more than 6 cm. The rescuer should allow complete chest recoil between compression without lifting hands from the chest but should not lean on the victim's chest. There should be minimum interruptions during chest compression. However, compression-only CPR ( Cardio pulmonary resuscitation ) may not be effective in cardiac arrest following drowning, trauma and asphyxia. Traditional CPR may improve the survival in such a case. Similarly, in paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, where the primary cause is usually of respiratory origin, traditional CPR may be beneficial. Col Pendyala Pradeep, Anaesthesiologist.
