Initial experience at B'lore.

I began my dream life at blore with a total chaos in mind "will I be a success at a new place,whether i will be accepted by my medical people,did i take correct decision to change the place,at a fag end of my carrier".In fact many people desisted from doing so .
Only thing I had in my mind was to succeed at any cost,come what may,i had three months leave
which came handy now. I could gamble for three months to see the results,before I take a decision
permanently.This idea was mooted by friend Dr Sangolli which i thought was very apt.I did not know the depth of water at blore.my trial period began on a high note.
I had to hire a small room for accommodation near to my working area.i could succeed in getting a room,on seeing it, my daughter exclaimed" pappa ye room to ate ate hi khatum ho gaya" in a circuit style. i had to endure all the hard ship that i faced in the beginning of my establishment at blore.

My days used to begin with a visit, to a Nursing home and meeting the owner of it,i had to wait like a medical rep waiting to see a doctor.I had to make several visits before i could meet the doctor.
literally i had to carry my all credentials,experience certificates to ingappraise them of my resume,begging to give me a chance to prove my worth as an anesthesiologist.
The is a hitch is that it is difficult to enter in to the vicious cycle of surgical team.Usually no surgeon
would like to change an anesthetist in whom he has confidence for the last couple of years.If this is the case then i thought i had no place in blore,where in so many stalwarts in anesthesia are established having a good practice and circle.My idea was to break this cycle and gain entry at least once in a nursing home,which i thought would pave way for the ;my smooth career.
What helped me was my experience behind me,when i quoted my experience,most of the surgeons were floored.moreover the work is so heavy that any no of unaesthetic would fall short.

At times i felt i was moving with a begging bowl,in a educated way,i too felt,why on earth i decided to come over to blore. but me patience i thought it would come to my rescue.

Freelancer after 25yrs of service in SAIL-VISL

Preamble:
I had a intense desire of moving to Bangalore after the retirement from VISLcbame ,this desi re became a reality, i still wonder who is behind my change.Ever since Manu took up his graduation at PES Bangalore,my visits frequented to my dream place.I enjoyed every bit of my trip to the place,driving down,stay at guest house,shopping at various malls along with company of Maya, sony and manu.I enjoyed driving onthe roads of Bangalore especialy under the navigational parter in manu, his left and right directions were amusing adding humour in our tour.
Since i stayed very close to Blore, i got few oppurtunity to own few sites around not in.so my desire intensified to many folds.
At visl i was denied the VRS,which i deserved most,i was told i was too good to be relieved under VRS scheme, my planned dream i thought was getting shattered for no fault of mine. i was getting disgusted and disillusioned to work at visl hospital, which was my KARMABHUMI.
At the same time ,as if adding insult to injury I was denied a richly deserved promotion.
At that point of time I felt the organisation, which I served with so much of sincerty,is not worth
for me to continue till my superanuation.
I made up my mind to change the guard and gear for better or worst circumstances.At that point of time i took a plunge as freelancer which i had no experience in the past,come what may.
Though i had a tailor made position at Bhadravati,i had enjoyed my stint as a anaesthsiologist,a leader by any standard.Every one of my well wishers asked me to continue at Bhadravati. But my mind was already in Bangalore!
