I.C.U.
Words.
Letters.
Punctuation.
Emotional fluctuation.
Compiled on a piece of paper.
Overflowing with thoughts you can't taper.
Feeling nulll.
I stare at the words Ive produced.
Will my reader be seduced?
I find it strange how I wonder if my darkness is dark enough?
This darkness hurts.
And I can't see.
Blinded.
Why would anyone ever want to portray darkness as beautiful?
What is wrong with me?
Inferiority.
..But then I remember the satin ,white blooms of moon flowers.
And how they only bloom at night.
Even bats can admire their beauty....
Because they know already that in darkness, you need no sight.
A Dazzling darkness.
Words.
And Empty spaces.
But, who's really listening?
Who really sees you?
The emperor of emotion.
Words are the Moon.
And life is the ocean.
Go with it and worry not...
Fill your mind with beautiful thought.
Even when you don't have the words to write.
No amount of darkness could ever dim your light.
What are you afraid of?
Describe the dagger in your heart.
Your words will free you.
Even in darkness,
I see you.

Read MoreWhen I got admitted in ICU
.
.
.
.
.
One makes many plans for future ,
worries for future ,
Unnecessarily start hating his rival ,
Waste time to fulfill the expectations and dreams of others which may be trival ,
But all this vanishes when one become sick or meet a life taking accident .
For that moment , one only wish for his good health ,
Prayes to walk like others ,
Prayes for quick recovery and thinks to do what he likes ,
Realizes that nothing is important than a fit body and a good health.
Why we forget this very important thought after we recover ,
Why we forget that few people have never recovered and are in bed for forever ,
Why we forget that health is the base of everything ,
Why don't we invest time on the most precious gift from the Nature - The body.
People especially , Young generation is indulged in drugs ,
Few claim they are so busy that they can't even exercise for half an hour ,
Have you noticed a old man walking so fast in the garden ,
As his doctor told him you may die soon if you will not exercise ,
Then why to wait for such statements ,
If you are healthy then you feel happy ,
If you are healthy then you think good ,
If you are healthy then you experience life.
It's very true that health is wealth .
Lessons, learnt on ICU bed....
Ride Safe...Mom is waiting at home!

Read MoreThe last time I was hopeful.
#icu #duties #internshipdiaries #coronatimes #2020 @writersnetwork @writerstolli @miraquillThe last time I was hopeful
When my words radiated hope,
to a 39 year old in the ICU
struggling for a breath,
Not that fast, not that shallow
At death's door he stood
with aching chest and collapsed lung
Those pale dry lips,
uttered the words which bled with pain:
"This is the last. This is the last. Allah!"
Death so close,
I've feared, I've known,
engulfing a drowning soul.
That was when
the last time I was hopeful.

स्वयं
जब से चेतना है,
मैं अकेला ही हूँ।
जन्म लेने के बाद से
मृत्युशय्या तक भी, और
गहन देखभाल इकाई से
पुनर्जन्म लेने तक।
इतना अकेलापन अच्छा नहीं,
सोचने का अखण्ड समय मिलता है,
मैं उन क्षणों से निकला ही नहीं,
७ मई २०१० का अब भी पछतावा है।

Praying from a waiting room, letting god do what is
needed to help.
Knowing that everything is in His hands and not mine, trusting in God.
Waiting for news to come from within depths of I.C.U.,
nothing to do but sit here and wait to hear.

- antarraal @_shattered_soul Oh I am so sorry, and who is the person? Please be strong

If you've been in a room that is trapped shut,
but it sordidly fails
to prevent the one on deathbed
from making an offhand escape
through the bolted doors and windows.
While you're left alone
to fend the cold that follows ,
that renders you hollow on the inside.
And attacks your soul like termite
No matter how hard you hold on, you've lost the fight.
Your eyes convincing the monitor to show a spike,
but there's nothing on there
except for a tragic flat line
You've to address the family
Have done it before, but it never gets easy.
They are still holding on to the hope of lucidity.
The spark those old eyes showed on evening.
Slipping in and out of consciousness, every time
murmuring.
But it was false hope, it rarely isn't.
You sit down next to the gentleman and give him a reason.
Why his wife of a 40 years relationship
had to get up and leave in between,
leaving him to fend for himself.
You did your best, but you couldn't help.
And in his glistening eyes, you see a reflection,
of the perfection, that he thought their marriage was
the memory of his lover, the promise of forever,
and the hurt that her passage has caused.
Soon you've to show yourself out of the sad room.
As the family trickles in to go about the bad fortune.
Rooms too crowded for an outsider to enter.
Too full of colliding memories, unbalanced, no centre.
And if you weren't paying attention
right next to the now-empty bed,lies one more.
Another life falling apart in a doggone contraption.
A metallic,violent cough rips apart familial bonds out of action.

He Straight Went Blank
He can't hear you
Deep dark space in his brain
He's lost
In deep though
River flow
Ocean waves
Boat crash
Written all over his face
He's hurt
Always sitting there with his head down
Talk something
Just to say okay
Wearing his pain
Like he wears his clothes
His tears you'll never see
Let him be
Quiet man
In ICU
Stress flowing through his vains
In a poker game
Waiting for a joker to flip
Car crashing head on
Airbag knocking him unconscious
He Straight Went Blank
He Straight Went Mute
He Straight Went Dead inside

ICU - a different love story
Into a glass room she was wheeled,
Her dear ones in prayer, kneeled
Wishing that soon she will be healed.
Cut off from all, she felt her hopes sealed.
Alas! She lay there, gasping for breath,
Not knowing how close she was, to death.
She closed her eyes tight,
Too tired, even to put up a fight.
She didn’t know if it was night or day,
Almost lifeless on the bed, she lay.
Then came a cheerful young attendant,
It was on him all the patients, dependant,
keeping patients happy was his task.
"how are you, sunshine” he would ask.
Sitting all alone in the ICU is no fun,
It was tough to insulate from the glum
To keep awake he would cheerfully hum,
Romantic tunes and songs some.
She instantly pressed the bell,
He appeared, to ask "Sunshine, all well?"
your song, she said, is like a spell
Will you sing for me as well?
He sang for her ever so softly
As she listened to him intently
His words touched her gently
and her heart swayed merrily
With joy she wanted to scream,
maybe it was a dream!
Mother and grandmother, she was,
no one ever saw the woman, she was!
Not just medicines he infused in her vein,
His loving care made her forget her pain.
He made sure, strength, she regain,
she returned home, never saw him again!
She feels alive and is back to her old self,
She remembers him and smiles to herself,
Maybe beautiful, she was,
Wrinkles, et al!

Nurses
There was a period in my life that I don't ever want to relive even in my worst nightmares.
But,
I am definitely thankful that I lived through it.
I spent those 2 weeks in an ICU...
What an irony was that it was the time I needed to be with my family and friends the most because it was draining my energy to be in that atmosphere intensely different from the outer world.
There were 3 kinds of people I saw inside that room...
Patients struggling to get back to their feet,
the very few infrequent visitors coming with hope in their eyes and prayers in their heart..
and most importantly ,
those godsent warriors who relentlessly put their efforts into getting each and every one of their patients back to normal life again.
I'm not an expert,
but,
with the little experience I had inside the ICU,
I can say that patients in intensive care become emotionally confused and turn terribly hard to handle .
So did I.
I couldn't cope with the sudden tragedy that hit me.
I wanted support...
the emotional one.
And I believed that l only my family,
who knew me like the palm of their hand can give me that.
But to my surprise, these warriors proved me wrong.
Their growth From complete strangers to being my another family who intensely cared for me was sudden.
They made me feel safe...
even spoon fed me sometimes..
they became my sisters .
I remember calling one of them my mother.
And they told me how their families were including me in their prayers then.
I remember planning a trip to go with them,
once I got out of the icu.
They must have been trying giving me hope that I will definitely get out of there.
And I did.
After the two weeks in icu and almost a month in ward..
I was discharged.
When they bid me bye...
I don't remember who..
one of them told me... l
et's hope we never meet again here like the way we did.
Life moved on.
Met few of them after that too during my check ups.
When I met that warrior who used to spoonfeed me and frequently scold me for keeping a grim face during those days near the elevator of that hospital again...
I couldn't resist the tears pooling in my eyes.
I gave her a tight hug that lasted only a few seconds.
But my heart has them all caught in a hug that will last forever.
Because I'm eternally grateful for what they did for the 22 year old me...
for going beyond giving me medical support.
For engaging me in conversations and keeping me from losing my sanity out of frustration and fear.
In those two weeks they did influence me nearly as much as my family did in two decades of my life.
Not just me ...
also my mother.
To all those warriors who does this magic with their amazing dedication towards job.
You guys are the best set of humans god could've ever made.
I don't know how to end this note...
maybe because the respect and love I have for them is endless...
Happy nurses day warriors.

A fibrotic lung was losing its dimension,
Zooming to take a turn for the worse.
Inauspicious forecast on the walls of an ICU
Resonated the arrival of another Guinea pig.

But the best friend who he left for her was crying outside in front of the Ganesh ji statue.
Now he knew who loved him and who didn't.

Ek anubhav si hi h
Ye andheri subah
Jisme aaj pukaar nhi

Khwaab tumhare
Lipte mere pairo se

Anubhav ye koi pida

Tum mutthi me jakde rhna
Jb tk mai toot na jaau
Aur tum nihatthe na ho ...

ICU
The clock was showing 11 p.m when i was going to visit my cousin brother ,Reaching there i found him in quite a hurry as he was rushing to hospital with some handy cash .I silently got into the car and onthe way to hospital i found out his uncle an ex service man from Indian army has got some cardiac attack and an emergency situation occurred. Aftee few mins we were right behind an ambulance where i could see a lady who was fighting against hope and a man who was sitting helplessly inside the ambulance . Once we reached the hospital ,The doctors of base hospital attended and said "no seat available in the I.C.U ". The son almost begged to get his father admitted but it hardly made any difference.I silently watched the patient who appeared to be taking his final breathes via life support system . After 10 stubborn minutes The lady gave up her patience and shouted "He has been serving the country for all his life and today there is nt a single bed in this hospital for him ". Ask me how it feels when you see your husband dying infront of you ".I helplessly watched her teary eyes and frustrated voice. The son stood numb along with all of us but the lady didn't quit she rushed to the higher authority room and after a while she came back running "they have allowed....take him inside the ICU " .Her breathes were losing their grip but she whispered "who feeds the baby untill he doesnt cries" .The patient was finally going inside the ICU,Few mins later an neurologist surgeon came and observed the patient before asking what all happened with the patient ".For a moment the lady felt relaxed but just after that the doctor came outside to tell us "The damage is irreversible , the cardiac attack has resulted in excessive bleeding inside the brain" .usually i dont use the word impossible but be ready for the news .. . It was so heartbreaking .The fight of lady proved worthless .She came to us and asked curiously "what did the doctor say????. How could i take that hope away from her ..a hope of saving her partners life..a hope of being with the person who married her and set up a world together. All i said was "dont worry aunty ..b.p is high ..surgery can't be done in such situation so wait for the morning. She felt like losing her energy for a moment and slowly allowed her drops of tears to say ' i know...he .. Won't..make it :( '
.But i said again No aunty he will.be alright you may leave now i m here with my frnds .I convinced her to go back home and looked at the ICU and questioned 'why :( ' and i felt as if the ICU was replying me that ICU IS TEMPORARY ,DEATH IS PERMANENT
Note : The condition of patient is still critical while i m writing this. Base hospital ,Delhi ,5:40 am

Eloquent
Frequently, I fall short
Of eloquent speech
Depends where you are
Who is around.
I change all the time
I love listening to different languages.
It's extravagant, each a unique dialect.
Just like people are so different on the outside, inside we are the same.
One day, one day i tell myself
People will always look inside instead of out.
A dreamer , ha.
But i am so small minded.
Right!

Read MoreWhen I thought of the sentence...
THEY HAD LOT TO SPEAK YET LOT TO HEAR.....this is what I heard someone speaking to me....
"Shall I pull it down?
Hey Prarthana shall I put the window down?"
A person who never speaks to me....spoke to me
A person with whom I had lot to speak, heard me saying "yeah sure"
When I thought of every single sentence of this writing,there I noticed it's own inner voice echoing and synchronizing with the events taking place around me
Every imaginary thought which you have in your mind has it's own link and voice to be echoed in the present
Only few people get connected to it
Only few notice it.......!
Do try it.....
I mean,
Playing the double role
One , Being in the world of imagination
One, Being in the world of reality
Then enjoy it in your own world
Because,
YOU HAVE GOT ONLY FEW PEOPLE in your life who come along these short lived, narrowest paths of mini trips of happiness which give you bunch of satisfaction and happiness
@readwriteunite @writersnetwork @theboywiththespecs #voice #walk #heartbeats #warm #breath #dream #dark #gaze #happiness #imagine #silence #tears #speak #hear #trust #emotion #eternal #murmur #spell #join #knot #iloveyou #icu #podAN ETERNAL LOVE IN THE WORLD OF SILENCE
"Never heard his voice
Never felt his touch
Never enjoyed a walk with him
Never cried in his warm arms"
"But I do hear his heart beats in my ears which can hear nothing other than silence
But I do feel him in my breath which lasts three more months
But I do hold his hands and take him for a walk to my dreams
But I do cry with my hands locked and head bowed down creating a darkness for him to get back to my dreamy world"
There she sat,with a sharp gaze into his fluttering eyes,
Noticed him stepping closer to her....
Closer than she can ever imagine,
There he sat right next to her....
Being,
A reason for her breath,
A reason for her happiness,
A reason for her heartbeat,
A reason for
THREE MORE MONTHS OF HER LIFE
There he stood in front of her
Finally,
Wanting her to share her dreams, thoughts, happiness, sadness which she hid in her deepest silence
Little did he knew that silence is the only language she can speak....
She holding her tears at the tip of her silence,
Was waiting for him to break it,
But,
Little did she knew that even he knew only one language......SILENCE
THEY HAD LOT TO SPEAK YET LOT TO HEAR
Little did the destiny wanted it to happen so
NOT ABLE TO SPEAK
NOT ABLE TO HEAR
Yet both held each other's inner voice in their kisses
A love,tuned with
Ever lasting trust
unspoken words
Unheard emotions
Those last THREE MONTHS of her life, decided by the destiny was for her existence in reality,
Not for their eternal world of love...
"Love you till the silence breaks
Love you till the heart beats
Love you even after three months
Love you though I can't spell those three magical words"
There he murmured
"I LOVE YOU"
While all that everyone heard was a deep beep in
"ICU"
Hands joined,
Hearts knoted,
Words unsaid,
There they left together to a,
DIFFERENT WORLD OF SILENCE
With a loud echoing voice,
"LOVE YOU TOO"
There she murmured...
