The Lady House Surgeon Pt-4


And exclaimed
“You are really,
A very very naughty boy.”
Dr. Jha Grabbed her hand
And started to murmur
With a motive.
Dr. Prerna,” That’s classic!
You are too fast,
I am sorry,
I am out of sorts today
I alone know
What you mean,
And what you want.
Suddenly it came to her mind
To crack a joke
Only to frighten him.
She posed to be serious
And told
“Leave my hand or
I will disclose you
Among my friends.
Dr. Jha , mind you,
I have yet to report
Your name to the Principal
Dr. Jha was too Stunned
To speak.
He became pale,
Drops of sweat appeared on his
Nose and forehead.
He left her hand abruptly,
And looked at her
With a sense of guilt.
Dr. Prerna,” Bad manners,
Behave like a good guy.”
She laughed after seeing
His condition
“what a nice drama you
Could make.
I was really nervous.
For God’s sake
Please never repeat this in future.
I can tolerate everything,
Except this type of
Joke from you.”
By catching both of her hands he requested,
“Prerna , promise that you will
Never be angry with me
Even in dream.”
Dr. Prerna ,”Look here Dr. Jha,
Lust is easy but love is hard.”
Dr. Jha,”You have always useless
Confusions about sex.
Without this the world will stop
As it is, where it is.
Look here Prerna,
Sex gets you an enjoyable work-out.
You get to share it with whom you love
And I feel you love me, don’t you?”
Dr. Prerna dashed,”What of that?
Do you think that sex is essential
For love?”
Dr. Jha said in a very mild tone,
“Prerna,
If two lovers are young adults
And are willing to marry
In days to come
And they are alone
In a safe place,
I don’t think that
There is any harm in it.
It bonds two persons,
Makes you more sexy and attractive,
Brings a glow on your face,
Satisfaction of your mind,
Makes you look and feel
Much younger.
It prevents many diseases
Arising from tension like hypertension
It sharpens your brain,
It has been found that
Brilliant people are more sexy,
It is unfortunate in your case
That being so brilliant you
Always try to avoid sex.”
She pounces on him
And pulls him by the his tie
Abruptly fell him down
Caught hold of his throat
By both her hands
Gnashed her teeth
And exclaimed,
“Thou Badmash, you are determined
To spoil me and to bring me
Fully under your clutch.”
Dr. Jha smiled and said,
“Look here Prerna,
Be calm and relax,
I am telling you for your benefits
Try to understand
Never be proud of your beauty
Charm and youth,
They are not going
To last long
None has ruled the world forever
And after all
Sex is a physiological urge
Why not to enjoy and relish
The pleasure of life.
Look here prerna,
Sex is the finest quality of yoga,
Bestowed upon living beings
By the nature. It is just like
A football game in which
All the players are always
On the move, active and cautious,
Likewise, during sex, every cell of body
Becomes active, gets vibrated and energized.
After sex, all the tissues and vessels are relaxed
And vessels, specially, the coronary ones
And prevent heart-attacks
Which have taken an epidemic form
Even in India due to increase
In stress and strain of life
Sex is said to be a boon
To the married couples.”
Dr. Prerna,”But I am not married
Then , Why are you compelling me?”
Dr. Jha,”Your case is different
You are under courtship
It is an exemption to this rule.
As you virtually hate sex,
This is why I had to tell you
These things to remove your confusion.
Sex also enhances longevity
It is only because of free sex
In wild animals, even the carnivorous ones,
That they don’t have heart attacks,
An enjoy a very longer
Span of life, and  good health.
They follow nature,
They enjoy nature
Sex gives absolute peace
To the body and the mind
And induces sound sleep
But illegal sex is dangerous
To the heart and the mind
It has been observed that
Big officials who have
Young and smart stenos
Remain smart and maintain tip-top condition
No doubt, but die of heart attacks.
One should always avoid
Illegal and unprotected sex,
Regular light exercise,
Regular light diet and
Regular use of fatless curd
Besides talking freely
And laughing freely
Less in-take of fats and oils,
Sugar and alcohols.
Prevention and control of diabetic mellitus
And hypertension.
Earn slightly less
Donate slightly more
Be moderate in your dietary habits,
Be Vegetarian, be kind , Be liberal
Learn to be happy.
Avoid and manage
Worries and anxieties
Smoking and alcohols
It is still a thing of research
Relation of sex with heart-attacks
Relation of illegal sex with heart-attacks..””
Dr. Prerna,”Please, stop it.
You have been wrongly
Put into medical
You are cut out for a lawyer,
You can plead even wrong cases
To victory.
And You can be a superb professor.
You take after great Dr.Upadhyay
Please  compel me no more.
It will hurt my feelings
And upset my minds
For days together
And I fear you will lose
Your position in my eyes.
Tell me, How I will face my friends
When they come to know.
Look here, Dr. Jha
I don’t believe in pre-martial sex.”
Dr. Jha,”Here in Medical college
Girls have more liberal views on sex,
But I fail to understand
Why you are so obstinate?”
“You are stuck to old ideas
Please damn it
It was correct when girls
Were used to get married
Much before fifteen
The sky will not fall down
If you slightly agree
Even falsely.

Sometime lie supersedes
The truth when it protects
Life and souls.
She dabbed her eyes
Pushed him by the front of her
Right shoulder
And pulling by his
Cheeks said smilingly,
“You seem to be too wise
And too Impatient.”
“You don’t know that
Passing moments
Don’t come again
In life.”
It was Dr. Jha who always
Took ‘no’ for ‘no’.
A lady never says yes
If she says yes
She is no lady.

The Beauty of Yes
Lies with politicians
And many others
Who trade in cheating
But the beauty of No
Lies only with ladies
Which makes them
One of the precious
Things on earth.
Dr. Jha not knowingly
But purely under chemotaxic,
Nervous and hormonal
Influence gathered her
To his chest
And encircled her by his
Both hands.
Dr. Prerna ,”You behave like animals
Is this the way?”
My friends will heckle me
If someone happens to see this
I know you will leave me nowhere.
Please don’t take me for Reema
It is only because of you that,
That I have tolerated all your nuisance.
I don’t know why my hands and
Feet are all tied and locked up
I would have kicked up even high-ups
And big guns.
If they would have behaved like you.”
Dr Jha,”That is the reason
I think and speak very highly of you.
And love you so madly,
Truly speaking,
I never want to see you displeased and distressed.”
Dr. Prerna ,”Should I believe
That you  love me only
For sex?”
 Look here Dr. Jha,
There is no room for
Sex in true love.”
Dr. Jha ,”I do agree Have I ever hurt
Your feelings?
I have just told you the extract
Which I read in leading
Digest Of India about sex
As the govt. also wants
To popularize sex education,
And I  felt that You Might be
Ignorant of the important fact,
I never mean anything wrong,
Prerna, You always make
A  mountain out of a molehill”
Dr. Prerna, “I am really angry with you.
Tell me why you talk to and think of Dr. Reema?”
Dr. Jha ,“No its not true,
Dr. Prerna,”Don’t be over-smart.
I know you thoroughly,
As I keep an eye
On your every move
Even I Know what you think.
Tell Me, Why You didn’t come.
To meet me in the ward
You are becoming unkind to me
I had been awaiting you
In my ward since 10 a.m.
But you never even thought of  seeing me.”
Dr. Jha,”Please Believe me,
I had gone to see you
In labour room,
Just the other day
But you were busy operating on a case
Of ruptured uterus.
I didn’t think it
Proper to disturb
You in O.T.”
Dr. Prerna calmed down
And said,
 “But you should have come
Into my O.T.
Even for a few seconds,
Truly speaking,
What happens to me,
If I don’t see you
Even once  a day
I keep depressed
For the whole day,

I strongly believe that
You can’t just take
Your eyes off me.”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Dr. Jha,”Please relax,
I can cheat myself
But never you.
Be assured
For more than a hundred percent,
You are really a great lady,
But your soul is much greater.
She smiled with cheers
And her anger was gone.
A lady resembles
A big boss
She  becomes pleased
Only to hear
Her own praise
But her mood is unreliable
Sometimes she blows hot
Sometimes very cold
She makes the man captive
And wants to rule
 Over him
But a wise person
Is he
Who always does accordingly
So that
His life may not turn into hell

“Prerna, tell me,
What happened to you,
Reema had an urgent piece
Of work,
She requested my help.
She was only whispering into my ears.
And was doing
Nothing at all
Reema is a good girl,
You shouldn’t have behaved like this.
In presence of so many
Boys and girls”
She failed to tolerate Reema’s
Appreciation from his mouth.

A true-female partner
Never tolerates
Appreciation of other females
From the mouth of her male partner

She dabbed her eyes
Blew her nose
And said,
“Don’t cheat me,
Do you expect me to believe you?
I will never
I am not so daft,
As you think.
I know that
She is out and out
A naughty girl,
Tell me,
Why she was sticking
To your body,
Is this the way of whispering?
Dr. Jha,”If you don’t like this
It will never be repeated.
This is all you want
Relax,
But I want to be clear,
If any other girl
Needs my help,
Should I go with
Her or not?”
Dr. Prena,”Are you joking?”
Dr. Jha,”Oh! No! I’m Not.
I am telling you seriously.”
Dr. Prerna lashed out at his neck
Caught hold of by his collar
Of coat and neck tie
And cried,
“Never,
Not with any girl,
For any work.”
Dr. Jha said laughingly,
“Say like this
Now I could understand
All clear to me.
Please leave my collar and tie.”
Dr. Prerna said,”Dr. Jha,
You are in the habit
Of cracking jokes.
You are not serious at all,
But you will see
When you will be caught
Talking to Reema.
I will not leave you
In a position to stand on
Your legs.”
 Dr. Jha laughed and laughed
To hear this from Dr. Prerna
And Dr. Prerna was becoming
 More and more serious.
She was flushed with anger
Drops of sweat
Appeared on her forehead,
A bloom on her nose and cheeks
Was characteristically prominent,
And a gloom on her mind
Was vividly apparent.
Dr. Jha ,”Prerna,
You look more beautiful,
When you become red with anger.
Why have you grown
So serious, suspicious and sentimental?
I don’t find any reason.”

Snakes and women are
Of same nature.
They never allow their prey
To go beyond their reach

The ward boy walks into
The room
With refreshment and coffee.
Dr. Jha, “would you mind
Some refreshment?”
Dr. Prerna,” I don’t feel like
 Having anything.”
Dr. Jha,”We both are hungry,
Good refreshment is there
In front of us,
But we don’t relish it,
Out of hitch,
What a bad luck?”
“I assure you for tomorrow” said Dr. Prerna
Dr. Jha said,
“It is heard that
Tomorrow never comes
Life is very short
One should not wait
For another moment
Nobody knows
What will happen
The next moment.
Never mind
And never be shy
If you want to enjoy life otherwise,
The life becomes
Tough and tedious
Colourless and charmless.
Let’s come on
Enjoy yourself,
Take it easy,
Don’t overtax yourself
For petty things
You don’t know
Life shortens
By seconds.
Never think too much
As thinkers are left thinking
And opportunities go beyond reach.”
 “You are very obstinate
You never listen to me
Leave me for today.
I am out of sorts .”
Said Dr. Prerna.
“Don’t be impatient, babe,
You always do
What you like
Tell me truly,
You have ever listened to me
You are obstinate
Aggressive and at times
Very rude,
Still I love you
For all your faults.”
But she didn’t  wish
To appear discourteous.
                                                   Her feelings were
Part anger, part love.

Even fault smells sweet
But only to a true and
Sincere friend besides mothers

“I don’t feel Myself
Okay today.
Please don’t mind.”
Dr. Jha,”if you will not have it
Then I will not have it.”
He ordered the boy to pass
The refreshment to the sister.
Sister came,”What happened?
Why are you people
Angry at it?
How are you madame?
Dr. Jha always thinks of you
He is never tired
Of praising you,
But for a few days
He has gone depressed.
Dr. Jha ,” Please keep silent,
As silence works more than medicine.”
The line suddenly flashed into his mind
Which she had read on the wall of
College library
“He is not a fool
Who knows
How to hold his tongue”
The sister understands
and leaves the chamber,
As she was intelligent,
Co-operative and sympathetic
To Dr. Jha.
Dr. Jha,”Prerna
If you don’t mind,
I think, you shouldn’t
Displease your father,
If I were you,
I would have agreed
If you go the other way
What will he feel
About you?”
Dr. Prerna,”Keep this advice with you.”
She was sliding into depression
And was cut to the quick,
As she never expected this from him.
“Dr. Jha, you seem to be a very
Treacherous fellow,
I never thought of you like this.”
The young and innocent lady
The only child of a multi-millionaire
Didn’t know that
Though Dr. Jha hailed from a village
Of a very poor family
And loved her truly
Never wanted to spoil her life
Or deceive her for his own ends
And it is he, who believes that


Life is as good without dedication
As flower without scent and colour.

Prerna’s father
Didn’t know that
 Dr. Jha hailed from
A Brahmin family
A true Brahmin can tolerate
Anything except insult
It’s a Brahmin alone
Who can kick the crown
If touched some where
Dr. Jha,”I neither want to tarnish your
Face 
Nor  interested in
Your huge wealth
Which your father
Has amassed for you.”

Heart resembles a glass
If a glass is broken
It can’t come to its
Original position
Even after repair
Sign of repair
Will be evident and vivid.”
I am interested
Only in your
Welfare and well being
Which I feel is my responsibility
As you have completely banked upon me
And I promised you
Not to cheat.”
Dr. miss Prerna,
“Please leave me alone,
I am going.”
Dr. Jha, Caught her hand
And begged pardon,
“I am extremely sorry,
Please do relax.
You should tell your father
That you are ready for marriage
But only after the completion
Of M.S. course,
And when you do M.S.,
We will leave for England
On Job vouchers
For good
Here in India
Caste , culture , customs
And wealth
Come in between two hearts
Prerna, I can leave everything.
But never you.”
These words turned away her wrath
Her heart brimmed
Over with happiness.
There sparked a ray of hope
In her eyes,
She felt as if Moon had emerged
From the dense cloud
She smiled,
Which deepened the dimple
On her chubby cheeks
Which caused him to move  to tears
He prayed that her smile should continue
Till the last moment of her life,
She smiled and said,
“If you wish so
I have nothing but to follow
Your advice.”

A wise sailor
Doesn’t want.
To capsize his boat in the midstream,
But it is his pious duty
To manage his boat,
Even at the cost of his life.

Dr. Jha,” Prerna, you should
Understand my position
In your father’s eyes.”
Dr. Prerna ,”I do follow,
But I feel that you are
Not serious about
My problem.”
Dr. Jha ,”You have no problem
Till I am alive,
When I am done away
With, then you should
Think for your-self.
When a calf wants
To suckle his mother’s breast
At the time of milking a cow,
The milkman ties the neck
Of the calf to the cow’s thigh
Which is dearest to the calf,
The mother’s thigh  becomes
A main hindrance
For the calf
Your father has just behaved like this,
For you,
But it never means
That you are not his
Dearest one.
Your father is an experienced,
Seasoned and sensible person
And your well wisher too,
It is not wise for us
To degrade his personality
And do away with his
Social prestige
At the fag end of his life.
He will feel ashamed
To show his face
In the society
I know, prestige is more
Precious for him
Than life.
Please do honour him,
Mind you,
You are the only child
He is alive only for you.”
Dr. Jha tried his level best
And discussed the after effect
Of her marriage to him, but
It was like trying to manage an untamed and  unruly child.”

When a boat is
About to be capsized
In the mid-stream,
A wise sailor
Can save the boat,
But if the sailor himself
Wants to have his boat capsized
Even God fails to help.

“Dr. Jha, Life floats on faith
I have loved you
I have trusted you
You have also
Loved me sincerely
You have also mothered
Me carefully
I can’t blame you.
Except my luck
I can get a good boy
But never like you.
I feel you perhaps treat me
As bangers and mash but truly speaking,
I feel you are my lucky mascot.
And I had planned to go
On the flight of life.
Only on your wings”
It is certain that
I will have to die one day
I will feel that
I have lived my life only upto now
You are okay, I am okay
I want nothing more.”
She had an eyeful look
At his face and wished
“May God Bless you
A very happy
And long life
And add my age to yours.”
There was a complete
Lull in the chamber,
Storm of emotions in their souls,
And downpour of tears
From their eyes.
Dr. Jha ,”Prerna
Please for heaven’s sake
Don’t be depressed, and
Don’t take it otherwise
You are the Goddess
Who resides in my heart,
And, will continue to reside
Till it beats
My pleasure lies  
In seeing you pleased and peaceful
With your parents with dignity.
Prerna,
Every wanted thing does not
Come to happen in life
Ambition doesn’t always conduce
To ultimate happiness.
This is the world
Life is likened a journey
In which many a friend comes and goes
Why to bother for a simple
Fellow like me.
Life does not run always
On national highways,
But it always takes
A zig-zag course
This is the rule of life
The song of life does not
Follow any sur or tal.
The things that matter much in
Marriage are money and high position
And not how much I love you,
And true love has led
None to the path of happiness.
This is the rule of true love
We are set for a mirage
