Namaste

Beberapa hari lalu, tempat kerja saya kedatangan 80 dokter dan praktisi kesehatan dari India. Saya beetugas menyampaikan hal-hal penting mengenai gambaran pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia, serta hal-hal apapun yang mereka ingin ketahui.

Jadi suatu kesegaran untuk saya saat mereka datang, dibalik rutinitas menangani pasien semata. Kedatangan mereka juga mengingatkan saya akan teman-teman saya semasa kuliah yang banyak beretnis India.

Di ujung sesi, mereka memberikan saya sebuah kotak kayu berisi saputangan dan dasi dari India. Such a warmth. Nandri!

Brand Your Self, not Your Items

She entered the room with pride.

She had plastic surgeries for her eyes and nose, as beauty as a barbie.

She wore all luxurious branded items all over her body.

Using all kinds of latest gadget that she can only use for entertainment.

Zara. Gucci. Blackberry. Jewelries. Ipad. Guess. 

Versace. Armani. Polo. Kickers. Mikimoto. Named it.

She feels alive and expensive.

Deep inside her heart she is wondering:
whether it is her using the brands or the brands that using her.
and it looks like:
She brand her body with branded items but she forget to brand her personality.
And when she naked without all of those brands, she feels empty and cheap.
