I am a practicing doctor in psychiatry and many people used
to mock on me as a doctor of insane. I never heed to their remarks. Even when
my friends used to crack pranks on me, I don’t bother it much because I know
they equally respect me a lot when they share their mental constraints with me
and take help of my advice to figure out their problems without any as such
medicinal; support.
I am in my mid-twenties and as a young practitioner; I did
not get much support from my elders too. Yet, I am obsessed with my discipline
and I am more obsessed with my life, which I consider as blessing, having the
opportunity to interact with numerous people and try to understand their
impediments which are hindering them, not to lead a normal life.
Suddenly I myself one day became confused what actually the
parameter to determine one as normal! How I will determine one as a normal
faculty? I sometimes find, out of my practice that are termed as abnormal by
the people in and around them are rather super normal!
One such incident I would like to share, where I confronted
a girl while I was descending from the fifth floor of my flat, where I used to
reside with my parents. One day, when it was evening and Sun is about to set,
suddenly on my way, I found a girl of her early twenties too, craving for help,
as she found her flat was not safe for her. When I encountered her, she told
that perhaps the cooking gas cylinder was leaking and she was feeling utterly
uncomfortable owing to immense malodors. I immediate responded to her helpless
state of mind and entered to her room with all precautionary measures which instantly
made her relaxed. Then I sat in her drawing room and after little conversation,
I left the place as I had a hurry to attend my chamber.
After few days, when i was supposed to close my chamber,
suddenly my attendant told me that a new patient appeared. I said to him, ‘Tell
them to come inside.’ With much surprise I noticed a man entering my chamber
accompanied by a girl, whom I met while I was working with the gas cylinder in
her flat, owing to the leakage. I kept myself reticent. Her father said to me, ‘listen
doctor, for the last few days I am observing my daughter is out of mind and
utterly distracted while she is working.’ I said to him, ‘what is actually the
problem, which is hindering her, not to perform any work properly?’ not
confiding that I met her few days back on her flat. Her father said, ‘listen I have
to work and majority of the day time I have to remain in my place of work. As she
is staying alone in the house, I recently observed she is behaving in a weird
fashion, though apparently outside people won’t be realized her anomaly. Her mother
died when she was too young out of an accident, as the pressure cooker busted
while she was in the kitchen. Since then I am extending my all effort to groom
her and never allowed her to felt the absence of her mother at my level best. But,
observing her anomalous recent trait, I am worried what actually store for me
in future! She is sometimes telling that she met her would be husband recently
and willing to reconcile with him soon. I could guess that, this is mere a
dream of her early twenties, but I don’t know the remedy of such ailment. Always
she seems to be out of mind and precisely for such absent mindedness; I am
worried any untoward incident may not emerge. Recently she stopped visiting her
college and distracted from her studies too. Would you please help me out from
such fright which is eclipsing my mind and not giving me a little space of my
own?’
After hearing his detail interpretation regarding her
daughter, I said to him, ‘will you please allow me to talk with her alone?’ he
said, ‘sure doctor. Why not? I am ready to deliver my utmost effort with a hope
that she may quickly gain her former state of mind. You know doctor, my girl is
extremely cute and intelligent and jolly too? But, surprising nowadays she
became too reticent!’ then he left my chamber, keeping only his daughter alone.
After her father left the chamber, I asked her, ‘what is your problem? Why you
are behaving abnormally as far your father’s depiction? He is too worried about
you. You can unhesitatingly express your distress. The last time when I met you
in your flat, which I did not divulge to your dad deliberately, as I presumed,
your dad than won’t be feel comfortable to share his experience. Now tell me
please what is your present problem? As my last encountered with you reflected
that you are absolutely perfect in terms of your mental state.’ She said, ‘on
that time I only met my ma whom I dreamt of. I fall in love with him instantly
and there was no reason why I felt obsessed to him. But, my intuition suggests,
that he is the only man you crave to explore your rest of your life with sheer jubilation.
I cannot there after restrain myself without thinking about him even for a
single moment. Is it perhaps termed as the love in first sight? It was you and you’re
extremely courteous in your behavior impressed me a lot. Will you marry me?’
I felt utterly flummoxed! I myself also felt that I may not
able to live without her. Though we may have a brief time to exchange our views
and gratification out of the services I rendered to her, when she was in
distress, but my heat send a signal to her that she is my sweet heart and a
perfect match to me, where I may attain sheer bliss! After all, I too lost my
mother in my tender age and I could evidently comprehend her mental imbroglio. Finally,
I took little time to reach to a conclusion, and finally I resort to my
destiny, as I assume that she might the perfect match for me and by taking thus
decision I may able to save her life as well bring perfect delight to her
mindset! I just bet on my fate and accept the situation I am confronting with a
hope with positive vibe.
After few moments, I called her dad to my chamber and I expressed
my feelings for her. I told him that it was me who met her few days back when
she was in huge distress owing to the leakage of her gas cylinder. Since then,
she developed trust on me, aspiring that I am the perfect match for her and
expecting I will surely marry her.
After hearing the entire episode and my candid emphasis, her
father too felt elated and with heartiest admiration for me he quickly arranged
our nuptial. My father too, after noticing her, as well interacting with her
father, did not hesitate to arrange four hands to tie up.
Moment my wife developed a perception that as I helped her
to get rid of the impending danger while I helped her to come out of any mess
owing to the leakage of gas cylinder, she only knew to express her gratitude to
tying not with me and spend the rest of her life with her. Her strong belief
out of a situation she confronted enabled her to jump to a conclusion that I am
her savior and I will protect her through her life. Her intuition guided her to
take such firm decision!
On contrary, my intuition suggests too that she is the
perfect match for me and too need her to enjoy rest of my life devoid of any
hassles and even professional hazards.
Today, I am celebrating my twentieth anniversary of my
marriage. I am having two children, one, a son of eighteen years of age, and a
daughter, who is sixteen years of age. Today, I unhesitatingly emphasized that my
intuition too responsible for my happiness as I am to happy now. Intuition,
which is an internal call, unlike the call being influenced by external
conditions, an element too clearly reveals that happiness too is an internal
affair and it is only responsible for a perpetual bliss! I don’t know that I too
may be termed as insane by others for my abrupt decision and being criticized by
many who termed my mental state as being swayed and guided by mere emotions,
but, in reality I enjoy motion out of its prevalence and infuse me with due
momentum!
