You dont LOOK like a doctor'- thats what I get to hear when I am smiling and having fun or just very nicely dressed up or wearing my cooking Apron. Why? How is a doctor supposed to look like? Always serious, stoic and poker faced? Not at all. Doctors are the most sensitive, artistic, fun loving folks full of life. See any type of the arts- music, dance, writing, sculpture, acting, painting- you will spot at least one doctor who has achieved professional level accomplishment- in addition to their medical work.
In BKC Covid hospital too, we are trying to live our lives- with balance and optimism. So when a group of special needs folks had to move in for treatment- Dr V and her team made it their business to enliven their wards. After their hours of grueling duty, this group of consultants, Resident doctors, nurses and paramedical staff made lovely artwork to decorate the wards. Patients are thrilled!

A little while later, a group of performing arts enthusiasts has popped up. Music, dance, pictures and other lovely art is posted on this group. Everybody gets a moment of entertainment and reprieve from their mundane duties. An impromptu send- off for a loved colleague is celebrated with a grand cake and some emotional moments are witnessed.
Its Eid coming. And I see mehendi designs on some hands. Somewhere there is a little bit of mehendi is found and I get my share of the mehendi design- in two minutes flat- a little celebration by the way. Dean Sir makes the time to spend with folks celebrating 'on the job'. These doctors didnt go home to be with their families to celebrate even when the option was available. They did their duty and guess what- one doctor's family even had several boxes of yummy desert delivered to all of us.
The folks working here are really committed to getting all their patients recover and will not abandon their posts till their work is completed. But they do it with passion and positivity. We smile and laugh and not lose a chance to appreciate art or celebrate an occasion. Life is lived in its moments. No one understands this better than doctors.
Very true. Very well expressed Vani
