कड़वा सच भी पीना होगा - प्रसून जोशी

ज़ाहिर होकर जीना होगा  कड़वा सच भी पीना होगा


यह युग है सबकुछ कहने का प्रत्यक्ष सामने रहने का 

पूरा पूरा साबुत सच्चा नहीं सत्य अधूरा सहने का 


चलो उस कमरे में चलते है जंहा सुलग रहे है अंगारे 

चलो धुल हटाने चलते है पूरे मनसे मिलकर सारे 

मंशा लेकर बाहर आओ बारिश है सब धूल जाएगा 

हम चाहेंगे तो एक रास्ता  इन रास्तों से खुल जाएगा 

लेकिन पूरा बहना होगा

ज़ाहिर होकर जीना होगा कड़वा सच भी पीना होगा 


जो घाव छुपाए जाते है  वो और गहरे हो जाते है 

तुम बार बार पट्टी बांधो पर दर्द छलक ही आते है 

बस अपनी शर्तो पर रिश्ते यूँ कबतक ये चल पाएगा 

बस अपना दर्द ही दर्द लगे तो पीड़ा कौन सुनाएगा 

जिद छोड़के सामने आओगे तो उसे सामने पाओगे 

जाहिर होकर जीना होगा कड़वा सच भी पीना होगा 


तुम्हे हैरत है वो बदल गया जिससे पहचान पुरानी थी 

उसकी तो हर एक धुन तुमको बरसों से याद जुबानी थी 

ईमानदार होकर सोचो, क्या उसका सच जाना तुमने?

क्या पूरी पूरी कोशिश की, क्या उसको पहचाना तुमने?

शायद आधी पहचान थे तुम उससे बिलकुल अनजान थे तुम 

ये रातोंरात नहीं होता पैदा जज्बात नहीं होता 

चलो खुद से नजर मिलाते है हर पक्ष सामने लाते है 

जो उधड़ा है सीना होगा 

जाहिर होकर जीना होगा कड़वा सच भी पीना होगा

Available treatments for COVID-19

Dear All,

Greetings!

It is a blog post of loud thinking. I want to remind myself that treatment (drugs) are available for the COVID-19. Analyzing the evidence of the drugs is not an easy job and the field of clinical research is created for testing of the drugs and analyzing its evidence. It is so difficult job and I do not claim that I am an expert in it but I am a medical doctor who is trained and has experience of working in the field of clinical research. So I will share whatever I know about drugs briefly below. I accept that I maybe wrong in which case I stand corrected. Kindly feel free to let me know (only if you have more qualifications than me in the field) if any corrections are needed in the information below. I wish to give information in tabular form. I have no financial gain while giving this information and the only reason I am giving this information is I want to reduce fear in the minds of patients. Because the confidence that some drugs are available helps in reducing fear.

The evidence present is according my opinion based on my understanding at this time. 

Name of the drug  (Evidence)

  1. Steroids -Dexamethasone and Prednisolone (Very strong)
  2. Vitamin D (Very strong)
  3. Aspirin (Very strong)
  4. Vitamin C (Strong)
  5. Remdesevir (Good)
  6. Favipiravir (Good)
  7. Hydroxychloroquine (Weak)
  8. Vitamin B12 (Weak) 

It is needless to say that do not take any of these medicines on your own unless and until some doctor will prescribe it to you. I do not take any responsibility of any side effects (or missing of opportunities of giving other drugs) arising out of use of any of the drugs above. However, you can discuss the evidence about these drugs with your doctor. Feel free to ask to your doctor if any of the drugs mentioned above are needed in your particular case. These are kind of pointers / leads to study more about it. I am not making any claim here that I have found something new. I have seen these drugs being used to treat patients.

Thanks Dr. Nachiket Potdar for telling the correction that some of the above mentioned drugs are for the treatment of virus and some of the drugs are treatment of complications and also some are used prophylactically.

Thank you.

आनंद यात्री - बा.भ.बोरकर

Do not hesitate to call me for any doubt regarding COVID-19

Dear All, because of COVID-19, many things are happening around so I am writing this post. I want to share with you all that kindly do not hesitate to call me (and any healthcare professional in fact) if any information is required. I do not know how much information I can give but I will share whatever I know. One feels hesitant sometimes about how to call and why to trouble but please note that it is no trouble for me and it is happiness in fact. If I will not be able to respond to your queries on phone, surely I will try to respond in messages out of office hours. Calling some health professional when in need is a natural thing we all do so there is no need to share this but sharing it explicitly because I know many people hesitate. Thank you.
