My son

 My only son is doing very well in life ...the reason is very simple...we never gave him the luxurious life style...he has come up the hard way. He's never taught in expensive convents...he was not permitted to study in an engineering college on capitation fees...he studied in a simple engineering college which he obtained on his own merit. Today, I see parents spending lakhs on their children's education...even a play school fees is a lakh and kindergarten is three lakhs. Medical seat is in crores. Children drive down to their school or colleges in most expensive cars. My sincere suggestion...if you want success... there's only one way...the hard way...Col Pradeep Pendyala Professor of Anaesthesiology

Anaesthesiology

 Understanding and memorizing Anaesthesiology could be very challenging. Frankly, I am writing this note for my Anaesthesiology post graduate students but others also may be benefited by reading this post. Whenever you read your subject, write brief notes, never forget to highlight important points (don't worry about spoiling the look of your textbook). After reading a chapter, you must ask questions to yourself on the same topic and don't go to bed unless you understood every aspect of what you've just read. Always look for diagrams and charts, they make it easier to understand a topic much faster. Once you have memorized the topic, never forget to discuss the same with your classmates. Always go for the concept rather than memorizing the whole topic. The more you read, the more you fall in love with your

 subject... happy reading... Col Pradeep Pendyala Professor of Anaesthesiology

Belly fat

 It's very challenging to reduce belly fat. There's nothing like spot reduction. If someone says that by doing crunches and planks you can reduce belly fat, it's wrong. Reducing fat from a specific area is impossible. It's possible only by overall reduction of fat from the body. It can be achieved by diet plan and regular exercises alone. You need to reduce your calorie intake...that's the foremost requirement. You need to become calorie conscious but at the same time it should be balanced food. When you start reducing your weight and overall fat content in your body... always remember that belly fat is the last to go away... Col Pradeep Pendyala Professor of Anaesthesiology

How to decrease stress levels

 In just two days, we lost two of our young colleagues due to stress related cardiac arrest. Dealing with stress is very essential. We must know what situations increase our stress levels. Please engage in regular exercise for fifteen to twenty minutes everyday to release endorphins to relieve stress. Deep breathing, yoga and meditation do help to decrease stress but I would advise you to spend some time in things which you love very much. It could be singing or listening to music or watching movies. Avoid excessive work and make sure you eat a balanced diet and ensure enough sleep. Avoid alcohol and cigarettes and drugs. Different strategies work for different people... happy weekend... Col Pradeep Pendyala Professor of Anaesthesiology

Home away from home

 Deepak was living in a small town. Everyone knew everyone. Education was paramount in that small town. It had idyllic setting and wonderful neighbours. Teachers instilled a love for learning in the young minds. This place was a paradise where beauty, peace and wonderful people flourished. In the heart of this place stood a charming cricket ground where the students gathered to play  and shared their laughter. Elders sat watching them play and engaged in meaningful conversation. This small magical place is my home away from home. Col Pradeep Pendyala

Rains

 Endless days of summer and Sun

It's time to make way for rains 

The scent of petrichor ( सौंधी खुशबू ) fills the air now

Raindrops are like a soothing song now

Inviting us to sing and dance in rains 

Goodbye summer it's time to embrace the rains ...Col Pradeep Pendyala

English

 In trade in commerce it speaks 

In literature and poetry it speaks

In the world of education it speaks

From science to history it speaks

In colleges and schools it speaks

For harmony and unity it speaks

In travel and tourism it speaks

Internet or digital world it speaks

For greetings and joy it speaks

English, it speaks...Col Pradeep Pendyala 🙏🙂
