All of us live two lives... First one everyone knows... Second one, we start living only when we suddenly realise that we've only one life and it's about to be over. Trust me, our second life is very enjoyable and very fruitful. We suddenly become very magnanimous and forgiving. We suddenly realise the importance of family and friends in our life. We develop deep understanding of the world around us and we also start appreciating the nature, birds and animals around us. We start respecting food and love eating fruits. And yes, we start practicing omnism... recognising and respecting all religions and their gods. Col Pradeep Pendyala๐๐ผ๐๐ผ

Virtuous Cycle
Twelve years ago, when I joined Facebook, my wife didn't approve of it ... My own son didn't like it. I was about to retire from my army life and I was not sure what I would be doing after my retirement. But after joining Facebook, I met people like Ampat Koshy sir and Archna Pant ma'am who were exemplary in their English and Hindi respectively. Meeting them online was the turning point in my life. I developed a passion for English as well as for Hindi. I started reading serious literature which I had never done earlier. My English and Hindi considerably improved. And a virtuous cycle began in my life. There were chain of events in my life which I never dreamt of earlier... One desirable event leads to another... And that's what is a virtuous circle๐๐ผ๐๐ผCol Pradeep Pendyala, Professor of Anaesthesiology, ASRAM Medical College, Eluru, India
Saviours
Always standing behind you
Always watching over you
Always feeling your pulse, hear you breathe and watch your heartbeats
Though, the devils want to take you
When I'm there with you
Devils dare not venture
I'll take your hand
I'll make you walk again
I'll make you smile again
We'll climb every mountain
We'll swim every ocean
When I'm there as your shadow
When I'm there as your saviour
Always as an Anesthesiologist...Col Pradeep Pendyala๐๐ผ๐๐ผ

Chutzpah
Let me talk about Chutzpah ( pronounced as hutspuh...c is silent ๐). Synonyms are nerve, gall and audacity. You need nerve. You need self-confidence. You need boldness. You need audacity. You need all these things to be happy and also successful. And that's what is Chutzpah... all about๐๐ผ๐๐ผCol Pradeep Pendyala
