Yes it does.....i visited my college and first place of work after almost 30 yrs today....and believe me hardly anything has changed...it was just like yesterday i was there...i could see myself in the eyes of those new students and physiotherapists....to say i was appalled at seeing the poor conditions of the department is an understatement....though i know deep in my heart while the surroundings are dismal and dreary the work done there is uplifting and ennobling...it is the OPD of a free hospital where the poor and disadvantaged avail of treatment for a myriad of ailments...i know from my experience ,working there is most rewarding and gives a glimpse into the hardships and tragedies faced by so many....you can try and alleviate that with your sympathy and dedicated work...but you know you can do only a little and you desperately feel the weight of all that yet has to be done!!!!...
On and up to the wards...faces of those in pain and suffering....some facing the prospect of life without a limb....many with indefinable pain...it was as if i had never left..i still recall the faces of those with no one to care whether they lived or died....and some who despite their own plight were a beacon of hope to those around...smiling-cheerful-helpful....the heartache of hearing the cries of small children...
Why do i feel so powerless and helpless in our world of disparity between the haves and the have-nots.....faced with the enormity of the problem i am lost and don't know which way to turn...i go back to my daily life but know something inside me has changed once again...
