**3 cute interactions:** 1) Privileged: That day in the evening, I had just finished examining one patient at my private clinic. After he left, I was arranging my instruments while somebody forcefully opened the door without a knock. I looked at the direction... There she was.. The 3 yrs old daughter of one of our employee, with the cutest smile and an adorable expression on her face... She said, Tumak manat nerakhilu!! {I didnt remember you !!} Though she expressed in the negative, it implied that she actually remembered me... You know, even the kids know it well that their presence and importance make us feel privileged.... 2) Education: Day before yesterday in the evening, I was having dinner at a hotel in Guwahati after my chamber when one of my senior colleague called me. Actually his 5yrs old son was having congestion of left eye.. The kid was not having much complaints, but yet he wanted to be sure for which he was willing to consult me... They reached the hotel itself as their house was nearby... I didnt have any other instrument with me at that moment, so examined his eyes using a torchlight and advised accordingly... I was talking to the father and the child said, Uncle, apunak eta kotha koune? {Uncle, may I say you something?} I nodded in the affirmative... He continued, Asalate uncle, manuhor sakut torch maribo napaai !!!. {Actually uncle, you should never throw light into anyones eyes !!!} You know... It was a great feeling to observe that this little boy had remembered something good taught by his parents (or somebody else)... It was even better to notice that he didnt fail to make his elder learn the same good thing in a polite way... Anyway, education begins at home... Being an Eye surgeon, I had to use the torchlight at that moment, but I didnt want to confuse him any more... I smiled, lightly pecked his both cheeks and said, Thank you !! 3) Achievement : Few months back, my 4yrs old niece Riyamanu said to me, Doctor dada, janane? Moi nije bathroom jabo para holu !!! {Doctor dada, are you aware? I can go to the bathroom alone!!} Even after that day, I have occasionally noticed somebody (including me) helping her using the bathroom... But when she happily expressed her feelings to me, it appeared to be a great achievement for her, which indeed was... You see, we always run after success to be happy and in the process, we quite often fail to observe the minute happy things happening around us, which could actually provide us at least some pleasure... Most of us probably dont remember when our toilet training started... This is just a single example... But in a broader sense, if we can observe ourselves closely, may be we would feel like even more achiever !!
