Frightening medicine(pills)

While swallowing medicine pills reminds my childhood incident related to Fear. For me, fear is just a barrage- an artificial barrier. It is created by mind after experiencing events or impression from the outer world. Everybody has some kind of fear but the amount of impact varies from person to person. It depends on how we handle it. Its easy if we break the fearsome barrier in the inchoate statge ifself.

Fear can be of any type. Many kinds of phobias are defined in lexicon, but not this one. :). Being an urchin, it’s always difficult for my mom to make me to understand things. It was a tense situation for every parent, when their son or daughter was suffering from illness in the childhood. It exacerbated in my case because I had a fear of swallowing medicine pills. Literary it was an impossible task for me and sometime it appeared as a nightmare to me. I had a fear that "if I try to swallow the pills than I will vomit everything out." The same phobia put me in embarrassing situation when I was out of my home and sick.

Not able to recall that what was the catalyst that prepared my mind to overcome this fear. When I was get ready to take my first pill independently, I uttered internally "swallowing pills is very small task, if you can't do this than how will you do big things in life". Than I swallowed the first pill independently without vomiting out and I had a feeling of some achievement. I learnt a big lesson from this incidents that fight with your fear. If you fight than you have created a chance for victory.

All have heard the punch line of Mountain Dew’s advertisement “Darr Ke Aagey Jeet Hain" -Indeed true.
