True story of Guru Shisya

 True story of Guru Shishya

B. J. Head of the Department of Medicine of the Medical College and Senior Professor Dr. C.C. Damorsaheb's morning round was on. The junior residents, senior residents, post-graduate students, assistant professors, etc. who were with him were panicking. Dr. Damorsaheb's knowledge and experience was so vast that any doctor would be intimidated by asking questions in the rounds. Yet there was much learning to be had in their rounds. So all the doctors were willing to join their rounds.

Rounds were going on in Mail Medical Ward on the second floor. Coming to the third bed, sir stopped and stared at the patient.

The eighty-two-year-old uncle, despite his growing beard, had a grand forehead, no strands of hair, and despite his tattered clothes, he looked like an old man from a good family. As old as gold is gold, this old man looked like a scholar from the glow on his face. Saheb asked the resident doctor about his history.

Sir, his name is Kripashankar Trivedi, he is eighty-two years old, he was found wandering outside in a village near Dahod. On arrival he was suffering from high fever and pneumonia. A teacher by profession, retired twenty-four years ago. As the school belonged to a private trust, there was no provision of pension, so as there was no source of income, they were making a living by begging in the village.' Resident doctor Ekishwas recited all the history.

'No one in his family?' Damorsaheb asked the question and plunged into the past. A few years ago, a poor tribal family living in Rampura village near Dahod rose up in front of his eyes. As the father was a drunkard and passed away due to liver failure at a young age, mother Diwali Behan became burdened with the education and maintenance of one of her sons. By cleaning the roads and cleaning the people's clothes, they barely made a living on Diwali. His son's name was Chaturbhai Chimanbhai Damor but everyone in the village called him Chako.

Chakabhai was gifted in studies. In the twelfth standard, he stood first in the entire district with 28 percent in the board. But now Diwalibehan was not working, so she was insisting Chaka to stop studying and concentrate on his work.

Chakabhai was the favorite of all the teachers in his school, but Kripashankar Trivedi had the greatest favor over him. According to Chakan Merit List B. J. He was getting admission in a medical college, but he hesitated due to his mother's insistence. When Trivedisaheb came to know, he himself came to celebrate Diwali at Chaka's house.

On seeing Brahmin Saheb in the tribal area, all the population turned around and came to Chaka's house.

"Sister, you educate Chaka in medicine and make him a doctor," Trivedisaheb said.

Sir, now I can't work. So from where to get the money to teach Chaka in medical?

"Sister, don't worry about it. I will continue to help as much as I can, and give Chaka a scholarship based on his merit.' Trivedisaheb said confidently.

Indeed, Trivedisaheb gave Chaka a scholarship, arranged for his accommodation, food and drink. From time to time, Diwali also kept helping the sister.

Chakabhai Bhanigani M.D. Became B.J. Asst in medical college itself. After becoming a professor, the very next year, when he took his last leave on Diwali, he said, 'Son, you have become such a big sir because of Trivedi Saheb, otherwise you would have been cleaning the roads too. Don't forget his face.'

Years passed and Dr. Chakabhai became a friend. C.C. Damorsaheb, Professor of Medicine. What kind of tricks does time play? Trivedi Saheb met today after years but in what condition? Hikaro left Damorsaheb.

Suddenly the resident doctor's reply brought the sir back to the present.

Sir, Aam is alone since his wife passed away last year. had a son. He became an educated doctor and went to America and married a white madam there and completely forgot his parents. Non-payment of house rent for six months brought them to the footpath.'

"Good, good, treat him well." They should not have any problem in eating and drinking. The clothes are also torn, take this thousand rupees, two pairs of clothes and for any other need, Damorsaheb gave the rupees to his resident. Everyone was surprised, what relation will sir have with this Brahmin? 'Where can everyone understand some relationships?'

At five o'clock in the evening, Saheb received a call in the ward, "What's wrong with the patient in the third bed?" The sister got scared. He called all the resident doctors, all of them understood that sir can come anytime for this patient, so very carefully started intensive treatment.

Trivedikaka recovered within six days due to Damorsaheb's hard work and the close treatment of the staff. Trivedikaka had heard that doctors are very charitable and kind, but why this Damorsaheb, had so much affection, did not understand.

Sir, if we give leave to this Trivedikaka, where will she go? He has no family or home.' The resident showed confusion. Damorsaheb asked to leave the next day.

The next morning Damorsaheb's wife came to Civil at eleven o'clock with the car and driver. Leave to Trivedicaka. Damorsaheb himself took his hand and started taking him outside. Behind him, the entire staff ran to help. Trivedicaka was watered with shame, the whole ward was thinking this poor Brahmin is lucky, but how did he know, Damorsaheb is clearing his debt.

Trivedic uncle was thinking, in this big Ahmedabad, on which footpath will I sit, where will I sit to beg, here the police are very annoying. Maybe that's why sir starts making arrangements in the old age home.

Sitting down in the carriage, Trivedicaka still could not understand where to go. He asked, 'Doctor, where do I want to go in your car?'

Damorsaheb slowly revealed the secret that had been withheld till now, 'Master, do you remember, thirty years ago you helped a tribal boy named Chaka to become a doctor. Now give him a chance to clear this debt burden. Now you have to call me Chako, not Sahib. You have to stay at our house now. Remembering Chaka, Trivedi Saheb cried, 'Hey, Chaka, have you become such a big saheb?' and hugged him.

Damorsaheb became lighter as the debt load came down. Eklavya offered his thumb to Guru Drona, who was more than happy.

Doctors sisters and patients were watching Gurushishya's unique meeting from the ward above. A professor of Asia's largest hospital used to take a beggar patient home in his car for the first time.
