2.The World Citizens

Before I start I would like to offer my heartiest thanks and gratitude to a number of persons who either died of kidney complications or contributed towards nephrology and urology throughout the world. I undertake to remember them time and again in this diary. If I have had the ability I would definitely compile and publish life sketches of these people who have at least done something different.
I, Now invite all kidney donors and kidney recipients to share with me all about their diseases, problems, present conditions because we are the people who can rightly claim as world citizens.
I live in Bangladesh. Had my kidney operation done in Bangalore, India. The life support therapies (dialysis and transplantation) given to me were devised by the Americans 000000and Europeans. The medicines that I take were invented by people from Canada, USA and other affluent countries. The diagnostic instruments, reagents and formulations also carry the names of those pious souls who made all the possible sacrifices to let us live.
This is not only a case for me, but is the fate of thousands of organ lost people throughout the world. They love all persons surrounding them with all their kidney’s and now want to talk to the world denying the bar of territorial boundaries at least by emotions and sentiments.
In these day’s of market economy when a person comes out of the house, a mobile exhibition of foreign commodities begins. The American jeans, German glass, Swiss watch, European shirts and shoes, Japanese electronics all form a part of the big mobile show but still geo-political boundaries divide us possibly to install so many leaders and continue the race of hunger, poverty and sufferings. One poet once wrote : I can be jailed or enchained and physically tortured but you can not jail my mind, heart and soul.”
We, the organ transplant recipients have the same attitude and sentiment. Our respective bodies hurdled to make us open to the world. So, we the organ donation recipients can easily declare our sovereignty over universal human entity. The first step towards this goal shall be to know and let others know. We can do it very easily and this diary maybe the beginning of a never ending journey.
