THE PAIN

Jan 31 2011 I was returning back home from a enjoyable dinner with my school friends , I was just few meters away from my house ,it was 10.30 p.m almost no one on the streets of Panvel a shabby car passed by me in the single lane I could notice its right side mirror broken and the next thought that came to me about it was seems its an accidental car, it moved few feet away ,I don’t know what happened next moment, my bike toggled I tried to balance it but I slipped and ……..

There it started , I fell on my ribs lying on the ground having a heaviness in my breathing, few by standers rushed to me ,I couldn’t get up I was sitting on the road holding my rib portion having heaviness to breathe then I couldn’t bear it any more I lied down on the road …. THE PAIN the physical pain I was going through was unbearable, I was rushed to the hospital and after the X ray the doc confirmed I had fractured my rib.

Aaaahh Ooohhh Ouuuccchhh well that was the sound effects I gave out for the next 14 days till I was advised my rest by the doc,the first week was very PAINFUL and gradually the pain decreased, however when ever I tried to go over board forgetting that I have fractured my rib ,my every cough and sneeze made me realize that I got a fractured rib since the Pain was unbearable, the next thing that I asked God was Why me???

That’s where I got my answer and the topic for my next blog “ THE PAIN “

My first blog “ JUST BORN “ was born when I was in emotional pain , probably a situation where in everything is in your head and that’s when your thoughts which guide you or you have a mindset which guides your thoughts.

But when it comes to physical Pain its only that part of your body which is painful which becomes the King of all attraction and attention. I remember how difficult it was for me to lie down to go to sleep and I realized the importance of each and every other functional body part of mine specially the tip of the little finger of mine which we all have probably used to signal the natures call or to poke the ear, I used to concentrate my weight on that part of my finger which gave me support to lie down, indeed it came in quiet handy .

The night before I had been to the movie 127 hours , I saw Pain in the movie but was least expecting that the next night I shall be experiencing the same feeling , well coming back to the movie ,It’s a true story of a mountaineer whos quiet adventurous and heads to the Grand Canyon on a weekend to explore new ways and destinations, on his trip he slips and gets stuck where in his hand is stuck between a huge rock deep inside one of the valleys. The story there after is how he gains the courage to surivive in that Pain All Alone for the next 5 days more précised 127 hours from where it got the muvee title and survives to come back and tell us the story.

Few things which I learnt from the movie which came in quiet handy to me while I was in Pain…


When ever you are in Physical Pain no wonder our entire focus and attention goes to that part of the body , try to maintain your cool and relax the entire body though it would be difficult try to meditate as that gives a lot of relief.

I was out of action for almost two weeks, the first week was indeed quiet painful both physically and emotionally , since I had to stay back at home completely that was unbearable ,it was almost like pace of life has slowed down ,the next moment I had the fear I don’t want it to be stand still ,
That’s where my thoughts started traveling with the permission from my heart to the places I wanted to and the places I had never been,

As a week passed was it the Pain which was settling down or was it that the Pain was still there but this time I had gained the courage to deal with it , the second week onwards I started thinking of ways to get my life back to normal with all possible resources that I had and all possible ways I could . When I say all possible ways , our life has become so mechanic there are lot of things which has got programmed in our mind and our body follows them , its only when there is a system crash in literal sense that’s when we think of the other best and easiest way out of a situation .

One thing which I strongly realized when I was in Pain , we shall always have our friends around to give us the courage to with stand the situation , But most importantly when you are in Pain its your family which stands by you literally in every moment of your PAIN .

Today its been almost more than a month and I am feeling much better and life is almost back on track , I managed to go to Thailand last week , but this time I was more cautious than adventurous , I had a lovely time but indeed I had to miss the Thai massage , this was prescribed by my doc , yes but was fortunate to move around and managed to do the Coral dive inside the Sea which was indeed a wow experience.

Friends today when I am penning down my blog one thing that I have very well realized is that ,Life is quiet uncertain , God saves you at lot of places ,warns you by saving couple of times from mishaps ,still if you are careless and end up falling in a pit still thank him as when you are out of it , that’s when you would realize you could have landed in a deeper shit.
