Difficult.

What is the most difficult thing to do? This is a question on which I took a poll. Many answered, ‘maths’ some said, ‘living in Mumbai, others said ‘asking a girl out.’
Maybe it is difficult. According to me, it is overcoming our fears. Difficulty lies, not in achieving the results, but in initiating the things which we are afraid of.
I distinctly remember one such incident. Once I witnessed a scalp suturing early in my medical school. And I fainted. I still remember the bright red blood oozing out as the Mama was doing the contused lacerated wound suturing. I don’t know why I fainted. I mean, I was pretty much stable at the sight of blood and all. May be because I felt the bacchu’s pain, or I was on an empty stomach (not an excuse. Seriously!) but the fact is that I fainted.
Long afterward, I could do everything but suturing. Then dawned my surgical posting as an intern. Now as an intern, there are always two ways out of a situation: do the thing, or simply feign ignorance! I said, “Beta, kaam to karna hai. Surgery hai to taka to padega.” I learnt suturing, and now can do it with either hands ( an advantage if you are left handed). Now that is not something great, but I was happy that I could just overcome one of my many fears!
