DR. RED

                    Dr. Red

Third June this year we had a medical conference in one of the noted hospital of Delhi. A big hall, dim lights, two giant windows and one entrance was our venue.

Our conferences have one regular doctor taking over the proceedings and another surprise doctor as orator. Our conference stared at the regular time with our regular speaker on the spot but the surprise package was still missing.

Couple of minutes later, I saw a man, 5’9” or 5’10”, in pink shirt, well creased black pants tucked neatly around the waist by shiny black belt, sport shoes { nice, I said in my mind} walked down the aisle.

First glance of the man in the dim lit room revealed prominent boyish charms, big broad smile exposing all the molar group of denture. Instant reaction in my mind, another late audience but to my utter disbelief had no note book or pen, totally in contrast to other brethren who were busy jotting down the key words of the proceedings.

Maybe the young man had no rendezvous for the bright Sunday morning and was here to grace us all with his presence {pun intended}. I bet myself this charming, broad smile man {seeing him, for the first time I understand the adage of my childhood greeting cards “have a big smile, as big as river Nile”  literal meaning.} would be the first one to leave the dim lit room in middle of the gala.

As this thinking process was going on in my mind, the man in the pink shirt went beyond my expectation and walked straight to the stage and joined our regular doctor.

My jaw dropped, this was my time to expose my incisors and canine group of my denture. 

SERIOUSLY!        SERIOUSLY!        SERIOUSLY!

OMG! {OH MY GOD MOMENT PART – 1}

His boyish charms and his care free attitude outrageously over shadowed his serious America returned, MD in emergency medicine looks. Our regular speaker is a very well known doctor, with myriad experience and a very fine eloquent. But this young doctor with baffling boyish charms was at par with him. His precision about the topic attracted the attention of all present there. I, personally really liked listening to him as he educated us about “Marfan syndrome”.

BAFFLING CHARMS DECODED

·        Receding hairline- intelligence

·        Broad forehead - good memory

·        Big almond shaped eyes and very expressive while he spoke – eloquent

·        Properly developed ethmoid bone {bone connecting root of the nose and the inner terminus of eyebrows} and excellent filling of muscles there along with well formed superciliry ridges  – accurate judgment in size, form, length, locality and weight faculties of human nature {hence would be fast to detect any abnormality, implying good diagnostic skills}

·        Bright eyes – honesty and zeal to enjoy life and work

·        Laughter lines at outer terminus of eyes – good sense of humor

·        Muscle fillings at the root of nose- self will

·        Broad muscular nose – leadership and executive properties

·        Broad, properly arched ale nasi {nostrils} – ample space to inhale good amount of oxygen – constructive and ingenious faculty

·        Tip of nose broad and proper curvature at its diameter-  sublimity and ideality { optimistic, opportunist, never ever give up type personality}

·        Oval face with well formed upper and lower cheek – friendly {upper cheek} and marked Epicurean-ism {lower cheek}

·        Full and scarlet color upper and lower lip – eloquent and confidence, probably a good singer {not sure about it}

·        Full and properly cover lower lip – empathy towards other – property of good doctor

·        Dimpled chin – aristocrat – love of brands and beauty {symptom check – wore a pair of rebook shoes and carried pink colored shirt, {mind you, wearing pink is very bold for any man as this is the color of girls domain} very perfectly, it suited him well and he looked like the Raymond’s man endorsing thespian.}

{SECRET – There is the reason why no sporting men teams ever and never have pink jersey, because there are only two types of men that can wear this girly color, one, who have very close experience with this color throughout his life, like grown up seeing his sister adoring it and fancied wearing it on him and the second being our noble breed [like our protagonist], who are put on earth to be a vogue. Pink is not every men cup of tea.}

·        Broad smile freely exposing molar group – honesty in his dealings, eloquent, believe in sharing experience and have nothing to conceal

·        Small, round ears – love of music

·        White shiny teethes – hygienic and perfectionist.

WIN- WIN DOCTOR

The doctor in his early thirties {age in this case calculated by counting the degrees applied after his name} was total rock and roll. Optimism, confidence and zeal well evident on his face in that dim lit room and was total synchronous with the choice of positive vocabulary he used while conferencing, one of his pet words, I quote “WIN- WIN SITUATION”.

THE EPILOGUE

After the conference got over, we all deserted that dim lit room and contracted our dilated pupil adapting them to broad sunlight and walked towards the compound in front of cafeteria where refreshment was being serve. As I stood there, picking up my samosa, our win- win doctor stood nearby conversing with other doctors from the audience probably clearing their doubts. I took another glance at him in broad sunlight, but to my utter disbelief, I could not believe what I saw. My pupils dilated, my eyebrows raised sky high and second time that morning my jaw dropped exposing my incisors and canines. Worst, I lost the co-ordination of the plate in my hand and little sauce from it stained red color on my snow- white top {damn it!}. But after all this, still,

SERIOUSLY!        SERIOUSLY!        SERIOUSLY!

OMG! {OH MY GOD MOMENT PART – 2}

His left half of the face in its full length and breadth had a red scald, akin to the recent stains of sauce on my white top. Quite prominent! Certainly not a birth mark, I guess, probably a chemical or radiation burn, I don’t know and I definitely didn’t seek the cause for it, but it was there in its full blown ardor on his half facial anatomy. I missed it in that dim lit room.

But whatever it is, our doctor was absolute hero of that morning. Scar or no scar, was never his defining factors of his character and neither was it any peril in his extra-ordinary personality, but in fact, I think that red mark appeared as his own personal style statement and therefore on second thought, I closed my mouth, put a smile on my lips and concluded calling the gentleman as DR. RED.

MORAL

Sometimes, god’s creation of humble origin, surprises us with their magnanimous distinctions.

THE BROKER [PUN INTENDED]

THE BROKER [PUN INTENDED]

SUMMER 2009

In summer of 2009 a medical student passed out of college and became a newbie doctor. She sat in her clinic with zeal to prove her skills to the world. Along with the adrenal drives her experience start to enhance each and every day with each and every patient. She was new, yet confident that she had seen enough of the world  and had fair deal of knowledge of human nature, moreover her sixth sense or gut feeling can never betray her in judging the people she meets in the society or the one’s that come as the patients. With same alertness and confidence she continued seeing the patients.

AUTUM 2009

Couple of months later in the fall of 2009, entered in her clinic, a tall man, around 5’11” or 6’ probably with lean and dried physique in his early fifties.

Earthy brown skin tone, bend shoulders, receding hairline exposing the extensive forehead highlighted with deep lines of conscientiousness, protruding supra-celliary ridges {bone under the eyebrows} shadowing the small elongated eyes, turning downwards at it’s outer corner. Long elongated thin nose with it’s tip pointing downwards, thin lips and their outer corner pointing downward. Chin narrow, cheeks sucked inside, exposing demarcation of maxillary bone {cheek bone}. His long ears rested peacefully on his juiced out face.

The man had undergone angiography recently and since then feared of dying of cardiac arrest {heart attack}. His angio had gone fine and further investigation suggested he was perfectly normal but the fear still lingered in his sub-conscious mind. Instead of diagnosing any pathology in vicinity of heart, the doctor diagnosed him with anxiety neurosis which could indirectly aggravate his cardiac condition.

He was treated for his anxiety and responded well to the treatment.

WINTER 2009

Around Christmas, he felt much better and out of obligation in mellifluous tone said, “doc, you have been good to me, listened me patiently and treated me well. I am a stock broker and there have been news, very confidential news, that there would be certain jump in the market rate of certain stocks. I want you to invest in it and in little span of time your money would be double. Trust me doc, I am good at it and swear to god I want to prove my worth to you and be useful to you in anyway, it would really make me feel good.”   He kept on trying to peruse the doc with his innuendo-es.

Doc’s sixth sense mojo

·         Receding hairline – intelligence

·         Broad forehead – good brain

·         Deep horizontal furrows of forehead – honesty, integrity, morality, conscientiousness

·         Bulging supra-cillary ridges – acumen observation

·         Long nose – carefulness

·         Outer corner of eyes running bit downward – persuasiveness

·         Long ears – scientific mind set

·         Brad head and narrow chin – witty, smartness

RESULT

Doctor fetched out 10,000 bucks and siphoned them to the stock endorsed by the broker.

SPRING 2010

Early march brought spring in it’s full blown form, that could be witnessed from black tainted glass door of doctor’s chamber, but the picture was reverse inside. Doctor lost all her money in the stock market except 169 bucks that was so bravely saved by the broker.

Doctor couldn’t believe, didn’t sleep for few nights and her brain failed to understand where she went wrong in reading that man.

CASE RE-ANYLISES – BLUNDER MARKERS

·         Juiced out face – lack of domestic traits {turned out that Mr. Stock broker was childless}, hence rapacious and greedy.

·         Pinched nose – lack of oxygen to brain, limited positive ideas for growth.

·         Lips thin and corner turned downward at same time irregular corner – parsimonious mouth, rapacity and greed.

·         Biggest blunder reading sign of conscientiousness – it’s most prominent marker is on the chin, broader the chin, more this trait is present. Its secondary sign can be deep horizontal furrows running the whole breath forehead, but in case of Mr. Stock broker, they were residual lines of his frequent anxiety attacks of dying of heart attack.

·         Excessive outward projecting chin {missed to be noted earlier, but much evident from lateral view of Mr. Stock broker} – avarice, dishonesty.

·         Broad forehead and pointed chin – proposition stand true for smart witty persons, but Mr. Stock broker turned out to be too smart for the so called ingenious doctor {pun intended}.

 NOTE

Doctor happened to be me and patient happened to be one of my initial patients.

  

MORAL

Money in the stock market, what a naive me, Plundered it all, what a knave he?

Like To Dislike

            like to dislike

Just looking at random faces, you can get enough information about the person. Look is not just mere glance, but deep and thorough observation.

Let me describe you one random face that I happen to see in the Delhi metro. A girl standing in front of me, would be 5’ 1” or 5’2” from the ground level, block heels included, probably in last year of her teen, wearing a baby pink top and black ankle length denim. Her black hair run down till her shoulder, small trenches loosely tucked at both sides.

Adipose deposit on her arms peeped out of her half sleeves top but thoroughly concealed on abdomen by her pink top though synchronous with the baby fat on her cheeks.

  Earthy complexion, clear skin, brown eyeballs laid in small eyes sockets, arched eyebrows, pinched nose, small mouth with thin upper and lower lips, receding chin and round small ears trying to hide beneath her black locks.

Face value

Now from the information, let us decipher the unknown.

Small eyes restrict large amount of light {also personified as thoughts, ideas} to reach her system, as well as the pinched nose limiting the air to her lungs hence rendering brain oxygen deprived hence being a big obstacle for ingenious use. Further adding the misery to the system is small mouth with thin lips showing impoverished nutritional habits, relying more on unwholesome dainties evincing widely distributed adipose tissue, but at same time exposing the niggard- lines and rapacious deeds of selfishness. Receding chin shows lack of firmness and perseverance. Her earthy complexion and blackness of hair intensifies all her traits. {as a rule, darker the color, more intense are the traits}

Matrix decoded

The sum total depicts the personality who is less thoughtful for others, leave aside accepting their ideas; she is always fault finder, sarcastic and knave at same time lack ability to create their own accords. Typical breed of humans who “LIKE TO DISLIKE”.

Her ongoing conversation with her accompaniment or so called friend proved my point. The poor accompaniment was intermediated by her that her part of conversation include taciturn reply and she couldn’t  let go her bag which she was tightly hugging {to close her body language either to console her being there with her or defending herself from sarcastic vocabulary}

Moral

Bereft yourself from “like to dislike” personalities.

Make friends with caution,they are your treasured possession.

Cut, Open And Suture

First thing that catches your eyes on viewing any random stranger passing by you on the road, in mall, bus or metro or anywhere is his or her FACE. Variety of different faces, none repeating, even delineation could be made in identical twins {biologically termed as mono-zygotic twins}.

Every face have its own signature formation, something prominent which transpires to the onlooker the feel of either pleasant aroma or repellent effluvia. and asked to reason about it, the explanation comes as circle around the aura, the gut feeling, the hunch or the chemistry, etc etc, nothing specific, nothing logically drawn or marked.

But going beyond these words of uncertainty, sailing with the science of logic, every line, every tangent, every curve, every indentation have its own tale to tell. they are like god's own designs, his personal hieroglyphics revealing man's nature to it's earnest perfect clarity, nothing being concealed, nothing being eluded by any sect of mannerism, colored brushes of make up or any contrary thespian's expressions. every thing crystal clear to the one who earnestly seek to decipher these facial hieroglyphics.

It's like reading a script written personally by god in his own handwriting, revealing the occult about human phrenology {science of reading faces}. Reading faces is like performing a neat surgery, modus oprendi being CUT, OPEN and SUTURE.

To CUT and dissect each and every anatomical landmark.
Neatly OPEN it to the finest optimal point.
Ultimately SUTURE the whole thing together.

Viola! you are just the perfect surgeon personified phrenologist. Just remember - CUT OPEN and SUTURE.
