What doesn't kill you,makes you stronger....

He looked like an Action hero..a real jock..tall,strong arms and a sturdy guy.His whole body inked,engraved and airbrushed..beautiful artwork it was.He had Ganesha on his right thigh and Buddha on his tum.What caught my eye was the tattoo on his forearm that said "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger".After looking after another junkie for 2 days ,I smirked at him and thought, O Lord I am gonna have a tough time with this thug today.But later as I spoke to him,I learnt he was one of the best patients I ever have taken care of.Gentle ,polite and a real patient "patient" :P
Me having a special interest in art and aesthetics just anxiously asked him about his skin designs..He replied,"every tattoo on my body has a story,darl."
He told me that Ganesha was engraved after his visit to Mumbai during the Ganesh festival,and so were his stories about Buddha and the Chinese Girl..And then I asked him the story behind the best emblem he had on his body ,the one on his forearm. And he said that this quote is true in his case and that he had suffered a lot in his life.Many traumatic experiences,negative people around him,lonely life ,unending sickness,a cup full of tablets that keeps him alive,and many more distressing difficulties that made him what he was today..a rough and tough man.And the only thing he says ..he is happy..very happy.I looked at him and smiled as I went through his treatment plans.
This man had taught me something beautiful ...
* You cannot change the past,but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.
*The choice you make today will surely affect your tomorrow.
*To get out of a difficulty,go through it.
*Bad things happen so that we can end the chapter and start a new one.
*What come may,face it and then make your feet lighter and swing back with a better force.

 Say this to yourselves," I believe that everything I go through is just a new lesson..can't pause feeling lonely even if I am alone..I am gonna bounce back and be a better me..am gonna stand taller and dream of a colorful life because I am a fighter.... :)yo!!!

Hmm as I finish with a Heparin jab on his thigh all through the poor Chinese lady's nose :P, he walks to the window turning his back to me ,stands like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky and there I see a massive tattoo covering his back..and it said angels and demons....eeeeeww :/ 
Holy cow !! ..save me...I really am not interested to know any more of his real life encounters..those stories will surely scare the hell outta me...no more stories hun!!
Sorry!!!  :P
