Her heart was pouncing. She could feel it. Her throat was dry. Netra looked around the room nervously. Her brown eyes were shimmering with excitement as she waited for the HR Manager to come inside. It was finally the day she started her medical internship at Lifeline Hospital. Ever since she knew she wanted to be a doctor, she wanted to work here. A special place it was - After all this place saved her from the claws of death at the mere age of 12.
She looked around. For the 5th time, she read through the list of doctors. For the second time, she noted the temperature of the AC. Her heartbeats were so fast that she could feel it. The HR manager finally arrived with a fellow doctor, and handed her an appointment letter. 'Hi Netra! This is Dr. Shraddha. You'll be assisting her in the ER today. All the best!' she smiled and Dr. Shraddha head out of the room with Netra. She indeed was a bright kid - chirpy, sensitive and mature. She was the perfect potential doctor.
As Netra stepped into the lift, she glared at the logo of the hospital - The little green thing - the lines of the heartbeat - full of ups & downs. 'This depicts my life.' she thought. Life, like the green lines is full of ups and downs, but that is what makes us feel alive. Without struggles, life would just be a little green straight line - dead.
The choice of being a doctor, of saving lives was what gave Netra a reason to live. She smiled at the thought. Today was just the beginning of a new journey..A journey of saving others..A journey of the little green thing called life.
~ This was an assignment given to us & I thought I'd just publish it. You tell me, what's the first thing that comes to your mind when I say 'That Green Little Thing!' ?
