The Postscript, and not Beyond.

There was this article in swasthyakhabar, which I happened to send impromptu, without much thought and consideration. This was my way of doing away the things, articles included. 

What came afterwards were swelter of backlashes, here and there, almost everywhere from all counters and corners, walks and abodes. It was first time I heard, and seen, so cutting and vile vituperation and vitriol. In all dismay, my heart dreaded, my mind drowned, my courage and penmanship paused in shocks. I should not have been so much harsh. Besides, opinions are not a literature, sarcasms should have been avoided. It was, however, ironically on top, my innocence, not ignorance. I can never hurt anyone from the bottom of my heart. I cannot mortify any group so very ruthlessly as it appeared it actually did after seeing the upshots it had created amongst the readers.  

It is my responsibility to take in my shoulders the damages it has caused to whomsoever and howsoever. I cannot escape the trench I myself have dug. And to this extent, I am highly indebted to all the readers who have constantly and consistently hammered me to awaken my senses over and again. Hence, I take all of them as a pathfinder of my destiny. I was a child, they make me grow to become a man. Many thanks. 

Among many feedback, one of them which I find well composed, prudent is pasted here: 

Dear writer,

I am writing this email to you in response to your article published in “Swastha Khabarpatrika” regarding how nurses should be beautiful but anything else.

I do not know how you reached to this conclusion or care how many people support your views, but your article is full of derogatory remarks to the nurses and is an insult to all the health care professionals. It is an insult to those who have been working together tirelessly as an integral team of the medical staff to provide care to the patient. It hurts the sentiment of those hands, who should be a better gauze to their caliber and not their physical appearance.

I sincerely request you to apologize, at the least to the nurses, and try to rectify the damage done by this article.

Regards,

A fellow health care member.     

To this I responded like this: 

Thank you very much for your constructive feedback. Actually, your email has become an eye-opener for me, I just realized there have been blizzards of negative responses regarding my article soon after I read your email and checked the swasthyakhabar/social media.

Definitely, my intent was not centralized on harming and humiliating any profession, simply that the essay has lost track and cogency one too many times. The ultimate goal was to refute the extant stereotypical notion about nursing profession in regard to beauty and support the good practice not good look.

I have written a commentary writ insinuating apologies to whoever has been affected to swasthyakhabar, hopefully it will come tomorrow by noon.

Thank you very much for the alert, once again. 

The reply then was:  

Sir,

I apologize if I was harsher in my email. I perceived the article from my perspective and failed to understand your intent. I could not just stand the view that I perceived and so was compelled to write it to you. And I am glad that you received it so well. Thank you.

Maybe I jumped too soon to reach to the conclusion. Also maybe, because I don't know you in person, so the notion of sarcasm escaped my mind. But I assure you that I am not the only one who thinks the same about the article and an explanation would be the best response at this moment. 

I admit that I have voiced my opinion strongly against you in social media as well. I apologize for those comments too. I should not have jumped to a conclusion without talking to you.

It was worth a conversation though.

And I am not an oncologist. Just a medical graduate trying to seek his way in this field.

Thanking you,

My last response: 

Respected Health Care Member,

I do very well understand after freeing up your opinion as an article in a media, it will capture wide range of readers. I am always open-minded to take feedback from individuals like you. I could not agree more on this that the article had definitely implicated in not so positive way in the medical fraternity.

Second, as a part time writer, I have never been filled with self-guilt this time as I keep on receiving plethora of criticisms. This appear as I am very-lowly a writer or simply I have done this as a publicity stunt, which is, entirely, not the case. To take it more optimistically, I have perceived this unique situation as an opportunity to learn, and to view from different ivory tower before unleashing something somewhere. Which meant I have grown more.

Thank you so very much.
