Untold Stories Post 18: Baby Health Competition

When I was small, Really Really Small and I had no sense of understanding of good vs bad.
So this story is the Interpretation of the data and Pictures I got from my known ones.

Every year in the period of 1989 to 1996, a Baby Health Competition was conducted in Ordnance Factory Chanda, Chandrapur, Maharashtra, INDIA.
I have, actually I was made to participate in the completion by my mother. With the proper care of my diet, neatness and presentation taken by my mother to me, I managed to score the 2nd Position in the competition in the whole estate in the year 1990.
I did not relize but some years back that I missed the 1st position because there was muskara (kajal) on my eyes. This concept was new to me but still is followed in India that a samll Black Dot is kept on the cheek or head or near eyes of a baby to protect him/her form negative energy projected by other living beings. (Mechanism is still unknown to me 🙂
The Doctor told my mother that Applying Muskara near the eye area is harmful for the baby, It may spoil the kid’s eyes and he explained various reasons why the kids shouldn’t be wearing any makeup for any occasion as their safety is more important than their beauty. (And Kids are cute anyways 🙂 )
That Day I definitely lost a competition but my mother Learnt an important lesson. She upgraded from what was taught to her by her surrounding to what a Qualified Doctor explained about baby nurturing. Since then all my pictures I have of my childhood lack the back muskara makeup and the pictures reflect as I am.

The story Dose not End over here

My mother took it next level…

I participated the competition again in 1991 and I won the completion, People feel proud to say they they scored highest OP in Australia or Score 90% grade in 12 in India, but I was the one who was Proud to Score the 1st Position just 2 years after my birth 🙂
After 5 years of this incident in 1996 my little sis Kritika Milind Won the Baby health competition in the same place..
The Story Sill Dose not End here..

On a recent conversation in a marriage ceremony, My mom was teaching this concept of Muskara to some of the new born’s mothers and educating them with the knowledge that she learnt.
Mother Tejashri Milind did never stopped at one learned lesson, and kept on learning the latest information, Teenage trends and their psychology and various new stuff which she keep on UPGRADING herself on a day to day basis…
This might be one of the reason she can well communicate with Current Generation Youth and keep guiding them according to the experiences she faced/failed and Upgraded in Life 🙂

SO I guess If Failing in one Baby Health Competition could give such a positive Change, I am ready to fail again and again for a better learning of one’s failure and thereby methods to Win With Strong Base in various field
Happy Day World..
Happy Week 🙂

Untold Stories Post 17: COMMON SENSE

Its a Good old saying “common sense is not common” but how I found out with a different meaning is a funny story:

It was 2007 when I was on my end of 12th Grade. Pandaya Sir, who was my mathematics teacher was writing something on the green board in our school Kendriya Vidyalaya Ambajhari Nagpur, INDIA. I stopped him and requested, “Could you please write litte bigger?” He was confused by my demand, then I said, “the alphabets you are writing are very small and not clear, would you mind writing little bigger or bold?”
He replied “Why don’t you come and sit on the front bench and you can see it properly”.
I moved form my bench and sat on front bench and even then I knew he was writing very small but no one has the guts to talk to him and say he is doing that. In India we have a fear to talk to our teacher as our culture teaches us to respect them and never question them back. But I was taught and raised little different and then I requested again, Sir you are still writing small, to that he confronted its my way of writing. He tried to write bigger which was visible to me but then again went back to writing small and unclear. He told me as a joke, YOU need to see a doctor, Check your eyes.
I took it seriously and booked an appointment with Ophthalmologist and he checked my eyes with different corrective lenses He discovered that I have vision which needs corrective lenses of (-1) in both eyes. He asked me since what time you have this problem to that I replied since today morning, when I observed Pandaya sir is writing very small on Board.
Doctor Replied, That is not possible, You must have this eye problem since at least one year, its a gradual change to spoil your eyesight till (-1)….
I was Astonished and I thought for a long time and replied to him

“I thought/assumed, EVERYONE IN CLASS HAS THE SMALL WORDS AND BLURRY VISION ONLY”

That day I learned two things, first is that out of 5 common senses that everyone has, one of my sense i.e my eyes are not common to others and Secondly if the change is gradual you cannot observe it or tend to ignore to observe the change till the time it becomes big and much problematic to control.

Its been 8 years I still wear a corrective lenses of power (-1)
Yes there are various methods with Bio-Technology to correct it. But for now, the two Lessons I learned are something worth sharing 🙂

Untold Stories Post 16: KITCAT AND CAT

It was in late 1990’s that one day my litter sister Kritika Milind and my dad were playing with a wild cat outside the house. My sister was very small and she did not know that its bad to pull the cat’s tail and not all cats like that to do with them. The cat got angry and she scratched/bit my sis in fraction of seconds. It was thought a minor scratch but as the cat was Wild one and not the domestic one, Dolly has to go through series ofpreventive injections taken in direct dose in her stomach. As a kid who cannot even properly speak, she use to just cry to avoid taking injections and whenever she sense that parents use to take her out to doctor, she use to hide somewhere where I use to help parents in catching her.
Most of the time as my dad’s vehicle was only efficient to carry 3 people I was left alone in the house and had to wait for Mom, Dad and Dolly for every hospital session. Every time they came back I use to see a KIT-KAT on Dolly’s hand and she slowly munching the Chocolate bar.
This was a weekly routine and when every time I see KIT-KAT on her hand while returning home. I use to imagine the sweetness of kit kat which I rarely had as the Chocolate bar was an expensive one for a Middle Class family where I was growing my childhood days.
Day by Day, week by week I started becoming jealous and one day I talked with my mom about it..

I will tell you the same thing what my mom told to a 5th standard kid that time,

“YOU CAN ONLY SEE THE KITKAT IN HER HAND AND UNFORTUNATELY YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE THE PAIN WHICH SHE FACES WHEN AN THICK INJECTION NEEDLE ENTERS HER STOMACH”

That thing is still true with the world around. I find the 5th grade kid in everyone. Everyone is jealous of one point or the other with their own dear surrounding, its not their mistake that they are jealous or envy others, the only point is they need a mother who can explain them that they are not able to see the pain which people are going through before getting the KIT-KAT

Untold Stories Post 15: OLD AGE

 

I was driving my Car with a speed of 100 on Gimpy-Brisbane Highway M3, There was A Dark RED Lamborghini Following my Car. My speed was 100 constantly and then I see the RED Lamborghini slowly Over taking me on my path.
There was a good loud music going on inside the Car which was difficult to hear as My car gives crappy noise to me. The Car Went from my right and crossed me in a matter of 30 to 40 seconds. I was dazzled to see the Car Again…
A pair of Ladies Definitely around or above the age of 60 were Driving the Car.
RED LAMBORGHINI DRIVEN BY 2 OLD LADIES, might be a normal thing in Australia, but for me It was a scene of appreciation.
I was Jealous for some moments and then I said to myself, THIS IS THE LIFE I WANTED.
In INDIA it is believed that once you are at age of 60, Its your age to DIE.
But here in AUSTRALIA or most of the Western Countries, LIFE STARTS AT 60.

I assumed this is the LIFE I WANTED, THIS IS THE LIFE I WANT MY PARENTS TO LIVE.

World CLASS LIVING.
Life is only ONCE thus Make the Maximum out of it..

AB MUZ KO JEENAAA…
(Now I WANT to LIVE)

Untold Stories Post 14: Killing Your OWN CHILD

I am a Bio-technologist, I like to poss off or actually distribute my share of knowledge that I Learned by paying Huge Sum of money going to different schools, universities and other Educational Institutions,
I was just discussing about various options and new technology what we have these days. Medical Science, Plant Biotechnology, Bio weapons, Bio Fuel and Even Bio Metrics
One female approached me in my shift during Sun-crop Stadium retail staffing event and asked me, Can you or your technology determine sex of my child I am carrying,
Yes, I replied politely and I asked Why you want to know that???
She dogged my question and asked me again, How much time is required for the test or how much days has to be over for the test to occur?
I answered her query and informed here that test takes hardly two minutes with the technology we have right now…and can be done in less than 4 weeks after Pregnancy
She asked do you know someone who can do this test form me??
Yes I replied again, but before that I need to know Why you want to know the sex of your child?

She finally Replied, I already have a Girl Child, I wanted a boy Child now to carry forward my generation and protect this girl child.

I was shocked to hear this that After Coming to Australia, I am meeting people of such a strong base mentality.

I asked her again, So you mean you will abort this child if thats a girl?? You will destroy her right to come in this world only because your choice of sex progeny is a Male Child.
She did not reply to this question and Just requested me again to gain the contact information of the person I know that can do these test for her.

I replied politely I cant understand your situation right now but according my ethics that I learned till date, I cannot give you that information as the motive is not strong enough.

I said sorry I cannot give that information to you.
In Australia yes getting info about sex of child before birth is legal but, But killing your own child just because of your choice of your choice of sex for a progeny is unethical to me.

I have nothing to teach you out of this story today. I am shocked myself.
