Grabber pe Pakoray (Fritters on Grabber)


“A.C.nahi chal raha kia!” I asked as I entered the tandoor (resident’s room :P)


“ayein, ayein Dr sahiba ap b khayein”

“kia” I asked while breaking away extra plaster from my dental model (not the actual ramp wali model ! of course)

“Ye…..cake” somebody managed to clear the clutter around a smudged chocolate mousse cake which tried maintaining its integrity like the Notre Dame but was destroyed to be Chand Nawab nevertheless.

Me: “Plate hai?”

“Plate ki zarorat apko aglay saal nahi pare gi INSHAALLAH”

Me: “Kyun”

“B.C.Qs ayein gay ab part 2 mein” ek adad first year resident responded beaming with joy.

ME: “Toh…?”

“wo articles se ayein gay to ap ki grabber, profit faaltu hungi, plate bannein gi ab barri ho k”
Everybody started laughing quite hysterically……

 I had a quick glance at everyone falling off their chairs and secured the biggest slice of the cake destroyed like a Colosseum, in my plastic ka dabba and delved in the creamy, soft, fluffy sponge of this heavenly delight.

“Acha toh kitaabein nahi parhni waqai mn ? aaap batayein” I asked a zindagi se bezar senior.

“No, you’ll have to read them, of course, why wouldn’t you?”

“haan zahir hai, grabber pe pakoray rakh k khanay se to rahay” I spilt some pearls of wisdom while licking the cream off my sleeve.


The part 2 exam has its own highs and lows, and more lows if I may say so. It is quite funny to see people struggling to pass an exam just like the games of Snake and Ladder (saanp serrhi), the moment you reach the 98th square you’ll get bitten by snake only to drop you (and your motivation to 2). A strong will and determination are mandatory. But at times all of us are stuck in our own situations and many times we lose it just moments before the victory. 

There is a difference between perseverance and knowing the path Not meant for you. May we all be able to get that!
