* How difficult it is to say NO to your boss ?
* How comfortable most of the people are in expressing their “personal life” needs ?
* How much buttering-of-the-boss happens in most of the companies ?
* How we never say NO to the client because he pays us !
* How we are made to work on Saturdays, Sundays and late evenings and we don’t have the guts to say NO !

There is new bakery in town i.e. around our living place. It has got variety as well as quality which we like the most about it.

Not to dangle from the main topic, the discussion here is about what has it got to offer that we have had so far – just for sake of sharing, for information to others living in and around Sector 23, Gurgaon!

Thanks to our maid who hasn’t been coming for last 2 weeks that I got change to visit this bakery. Chunks, Vinny and Poo had been there for few times in past when I was at home on vacations…yeah our dear maid hadn’t shown up in those days as well. Me and Chunks are the fellows who are at home over weekends. And we have got company of each other only. We enjoy it the way it can best be enjoyed…watching movies, listening songs, roaming outside, eating and not to forget, sleeping.

Last weekend was my first visit to Bakery thinking that this might be the only time I might be visiting it. We had Chhole Kulche the very first time on the guarantee of Chunks for good quality as he already had them once. And then as soon as it started, it didn’t stop for every other weekend day when it was meal time.Since then we have tasted Pav-Bhajee, Chhole Bhature, Jumbo Sandwich and Shahi Paneer with Butter Naan.

No need to say, we have enjoyed every single of these soooooo much…yummy. Definitely recommended. BTW, its name is Samrat Bakery (Chunk thinks that it is one branch of big chain and no comments from my side).

A friend shared this link about recent news with title – India Awakening. This is the story about a victim of surgical mistake and how he fought all this way to get the appropriate claim.

Here are excerpt from true and motivating story -

Apex court orders Rs.10 mn compensation for medical negligence

 

Nearly two decades after Bangalore-based Infosys engineer Prashanth S. Dhananka became paralysed waist down after a botched surgery, the Supreme Court ordered the Nizam Medical Institute of Hyderabad to pay him a record compensation of Rs.10 million, while praising him for fighting the case himself though confined to a wheelchair.

 

Ordering the compensation for medical negligence to Dhananka, a bench of Justice B.N. Agrawal also asked the apex court’s registry to send the verdict to the victim through registered post at his address in Bangalore.

 

The bench also recorded its ‘deep appreciation’ of Dhananka for his having argued the entire case on medical concepts himself in the apex court with the deftness of a lawyer.

 

Justifying the payment of the compensation, the court said, the sum is justified ‘keeping in mind that a brilliant career has been cut short and there is, as of now, no possibility of improvement of his physical conditions’.

 

Dhananka, son of a Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited (BHEL) employee, was admitted to the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences in September 1990 after complaints of unexplained intermittent fever. Doctors from BHEL hospital referred him to the Hyderabad hospital for ‘further’ tests, which showed a large tumour in his left chest cavity. After an X-ray and a CT scan confirmed this, he was asked to undergo a biopsy.

 

Though the tumour was found to be benign, doctors decided to remove it fearing that it might later exert pressure on his respiratory, cardio-vascular and neurological systems. The doctors feared it could also later turn malignant.

 

A team led by a cardio-thoracic surgeon removed the tumour. In the process, a part of his ribs had to be cut. After the surgery, Dhananka, developed paralysis of the lower portion of the body, including legs.

 

No allegation of medical negligence was made then. But, six months later, Dhananka’s father wrote a letter to the institute in 1991, alleging negligence.

 

In 1993, Dhananka moved the NCDRC seeking damages of about Rs.50 million. The commission held the doctors negligent and directed the institute to pay Rs.1.4 million to him and Rs.150,000 to his father.

 

The institute moved the apex court challenging the NCDRC finding that it was guilty of negligence.

 

It contended that it had not associated a neuro-surgeon in the surgery from the beginning and had not exchanged any opinion with sister institutes in India and abroad.
