I have asked myself this question a billion times. And now i m gonna ask again?

What is it that i´m interested in?? Do i wanna take up Surgery or is it going to be anaesthesia?
Thought i could be sure of it when i entered Surgery postings. Coz i remember one of my batchmates Ganapa telling me that he loved Surgery.(He did. I saw him reading Bailey n Love all the time in the library. Day in and day out) He later added, after finishing his postings, that he had changed his mind. He dint wanna be a surgeon. Hmmm.. Now thats a googly coming from a dedicated student.
So, i was desperate to experience Surgery postings coz the perplexity was disconcerting.
And whats the outcome? Nil morbidity of my determination.
I love Surgery. Every bit of it. Thick in and thin out. Its too good. And the fact that i was posted in the 1st unit, was an onus indeed. The staff - Dr HOD, Dr R, Dr S, my absent-minded PG, Bindaas colleague Mithun and cute Shreyas --- It was an awesome company no doubt. 2 months passed away zooooooom.
Everything was good. From the ward work, the hours-to-go rounds wherein we were bombarded with never ending questions. The one-liners, the soft firing! I love the line, Xorkes, dont u have corpus callosum coz i couldnt do two things at a time - suture and at the same time listen to the operative findings to be written on the OT sheet. Hehehe!! The tête-à-tête in the OT. The first two weeks i opened my mouth and then, it was shut for few days which astonished the HOD who doubted that anaesthesia postings had probably anaesthetised my brains and denervated my speech.
Ah that reminds me of anaesthesia postings.. Yip yip, i love it!! Everything bout it! The intubations, the spinals, to the wake up call.. aankhen kholo!! There too the staff was awesome. Wonderful teachers n Cool PG´s. They were always eager to help.
Whoops, that leaves me with the same question?? Whats next?
Never mind. None of the above makes much sense until i crack the PG exams.

Me n blogging?

2010-01-08T15:36:00.002+05:30

If it were simply for the sake of writing, i´d jot in two-three words and be merry.
But blogging seems to have gotten into me, enough to make it easy to quit and tougher to get back to the page once again. I know this sounds different from what it seems to be. A contrary to the normal lines.
Tried peeking into the blogs of many of the frequently visited ones, managed to comment here and there. I doubt it was more of an obligatory statement than a self provoked act! Was it really? Cant decide.
Time spins.. Whooosh and it has definitely spinned hola time for me. Trying to get back to whats lost is not gonna help in any way but have i lost the interest to make things any better for myself?

Results out!

2009-02-25T02:06:00.001+05:30

Heyaaa bloggers.
Today my results were declared after a month of "its-better-not-to-mention-how-i-spent" THE HOLIDAYS.
Alright here´s the thing --- Final year done!! Yes i passed! yip yip yoohoooooooooo!! Finally a graduate! Is that a relief?? Ofcourse it is. No doubt!! Seriously, becoming a graduate much much after most of your friends are almost finishing their masters was a LONG wait indeed! I was tired of answering the question, YOUR STILL NOT MBBS? Naaaah.. Its 5 and a half years u see.. And i´ve just completed 4 and a half. So, there´s still another one year of internship left before i get that degree. Oh no!! please dont start with those questions again.
What comes next? I dont know.
What am i supposed to do? I dont know.
Does the thought sink in? I dont know.
Havent decided? I dont know.
What do u really know? I dont know.

Bored or frustrated? Both?

2009-02-18T04:25:00.000+05:30

Hey Mlore is famous. Whooops.. for the wrong reasons ofcourse. A lot of stuff is being written about the city. Regarding what? Come on, do i have to mention it? Everyone knows why! Be it the national debate or an awakening call blah blah!! It makes no difference to the people here. It never has and doubtfully it ever will. The mentality sucks!! Sucks to the core! In this city of slowwwwwwwwww motion, Dilip Kumar could progress faster! Or is it Manoj Kumar? Now whos the tortoise among them.. Whatever!! ummmm.. is there possibly a third option? lets just leave the topic to the higher and lower authorities (this is what i keep hearing on tv -- that one is to be blamed, this one is at fault) Nice nice.. lage raho.. We, the people of India, are listening to ur BAKWAAS.

But why am i writing all this? Well.. somethings gone into my head. Is it an idle mind? ya, read the word again -- IDLE. I dont know. Or is it simply frustration? The reason being -- I´m stuck in Mangalore even with vacations on hand coz my parents are here. Oh!How much i miss Bbay!

After a long time!

2009-02-02T21:01:00.000+05:30

Hmmm... I see a lot of new stuff has been added in blogspot.. something like followers has come up and suprisingly ppl are following my blog..
Oops.. i dont know what to say.. thank u!! :) :) :)
Ah so where was i the whole time. Yup, trying to be busy with the final year.
Finally done with the ultimate final year exams. Lets c what r the results.
I´ve forgotten how to blog.. Unfortunately thats so very true :(
Hopefully, will have something better type in next time. Cheers!!

Straighten hair?? No thanks!

2008-09-18T15:51:00.003+05:30

There´s this craze which has been going on in college to straighten their hair for the past 5 years. i wish i could get their pictures and post it online but my friends would kill me.
it looks good when its straight. u know the real straight kinds. but once ur hair starts growing. wow! its worth a watch! i really cant stop laughing.
especially at those girls with naturally curly hairs who spent crap for this unfortunate muddle. creeps, its so funny when the hair grows.There´s this waviness-- i mean curly hair-- fullstop-- and then boom boom.. it suddenly continues to be straight. And when they leave their hair.. flippendo! what a sight! ditch it.. it stands like a sea with rushing waves followed by a calm river. do u call that beautiful?? what in the world is wrong with u? Its looks shambolic and scrappy. dirteeeee...
look at the amount of hair u have lost by going for this crap! come on, accept it.. ur going bonkers and bald? do u still like it?? And the best part is, the sufferers want their friends to go for this straightening thing too. When u fall in trouble, get a gang to give u company.. hehehe!! No thanks.

After a long long time!

2008-09-18T15:51:00.000+05:30

Whooooops.. Here i go again!!

Once upon a time in the land of "developing country", there lived a girl named Xorkes. Ppl asked her what her name meant and she always said that she dint kno. She was this 'one of a kind' character.. hehehe!

Yup, what else?? Hmmm.. ok.. lets continue this stuff.

Well, she was addicted to internet. yep -- she certainly was!
And spent most of her free time sleeping, mailing friends, blogging and commenting on others blogs.
So, her routine was
Get up..go to college..return home..eat..go online..mail/blog..sleep again..get up..eat..mail/blog..sleep again..getup..go to college and so on..
So, one day when Xorkes had nothing to do. (just like most of the days) she decided to give it a break. She stayed away from internet for 2 months. Tough-really tough!
Hmmm.. what did she do then?
Well, she opened her books and started educating herself or rather making herself aware of the professional aspect of her life. So, she read when she was supposed to be online. But she also slept Extra-time when she was supposed to be reading. So, all in all she hardly read and spent most of her days snoring. Days turned into weeks and then into months. What did she gain? Helllooooo..she put on some weight! whooops, yip yip yay! And now she´s happy and back to blogging.
Hey come on, ENCORE!!! :)

Happy Birthday to me

Excuses.. Grrrr!!

2008-07-22T00:53:00.001+05:30

Few must have read this post when i mailed them the pics of my trip to a falls..
Anyways here it goes.. (i hate NOT updating my blog. i´ve kept it lonely for too long.. its gotta be functional again)

It s a tough task convincing people for a trip. As always, a lot of cribbing n explanation is involved. Why dont ppl just agree in One go?
Where are you going? Who all are coming? What is there to see? How far is it? How are we gonna go? When to leave? What time r v gonna return? 100 questions and 100 answers. 99 percent of the replies are imaginary just to calm down the anxieties of the companions. I mean its alright to ask all these questions. Ofcourse planning is required. But then there are those who simply ask, JUST ENQUIRE n NOTHING ELSE. After babbling continously, wherein u on the brink of certainty that u have convinced them to accompany you on the trip, they FLATLY refuse. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! couldnt u have said that before? Just a simple NO..thats it! hey there´s more.. How could i forget those silly-billy reasons. DISASTER!!.. they´ve got plenty of them. Its fun listening to them. No doubt, sometimes they can be frustrating too (when u hear the same ridiculous enlightment over and over again.. ya they try their level-best to ensure u that the reason is genuine! Part of the mockery)

The different silly answers to the invitation were:
1) I have to go home (this s d commonest and SILLIEST of all)
2) Cant bunk tomorrow (ya, we left on saturday for the trip) Lets go on sunday. ya, ya i know how many are gonna agree on sunday. On sunday, u´ll come up with things like -- ur preparing for a seminar/not keeping well/ warden is not allowing/booked tickets for a movie/going for shopping/birthday treat.. blah blah.. the list goes on!!
3) Couldnt you tell before? (this wacks me out-- come on, ´trip´goers have been screaming their hearts out in postings yelling, we r going to falls this week. all have heard it LOUD N CLEAR but still they voice out their concern for the trip 'Innocently' --- what ya Xorkes, couldnt u inform before? )AAAAAAAAAAArghhhhhh!! Shut up!
4) Chikungunya in certain areas--- Use Odomos Boss or wear Plastics/Helmet n Come.. Grrrrr!!

There are many more justifications.. I cant belive it i am actually typing them out.. venting out my frustration rather!!

You can add on to the silly excuses that you/someone have/has attempted which pissed them/you off..

Here i go again

2008-07-22T00:51:00.001+05:30

hmm.. Xorkes scrutinizes over possible foolhardy excuses and in the mean time writes another post :) :)

Here i go again

2008-07-22T00:51:00.000+05:30

Hello everyone. whats happening?? where´s everyone??
well well, i know the question has to go back to its old ways -- Xorkes whazzzzup?
yes i am very much here.
then why havent you blogged for so long?
ummmm.. Xorkes goes BLANK!!!

hmm.. Xorkes scrutinizes over possible foolhardy excuses and in the mean time writes another post :) :)

Back 2 Mlore

2008-07-03T00:33:00.000+05:30

Hello everyone. I´m back again.. tra la la.. ya back to mangalore :) Usually, i have this nostalgic feeling when i land here. But seems like my brains have figured out a way to deal with it, or rather they have become insensitive to not even think about it. The senti feeling dint even occur to me once. SAD ya!! Whats wrong with me? Xorkes, sit n think ya. Why arent u scrutinizing all this.. It atleast helps to add few lines to the post ya. And now look at you, You´ve got nothing to write. Ho kya raha hain? Shame on you!! ;)
Today, someone asked me dont u miss home? And thats when it struck, "Arre haan, main toh abhi mangalore mein hoon. malum hi nahin pada" lol.. (Maybe its the Rains. Ya, it has been BRILLIANT N PLEASING. Heavy rains since i´ve stepped my foot here. Yipeeee!! I can see frogs jumping around.. Yip, yip its fun catching and releasing them)
Anyways, Mumbai was as always goooood -- the best! Spent good time with Family. Met most of my friends (many schoolmates after YEARRRRS)
Slept in the mornings.
Got up in the afternoons. Had breakfast at 2pm.. Usually skipped lunch.
Then again ate something in the evening. Hopped out of the house. Returned at night. Read novels till sunrise. Slept again.. and then days just passed as fast as ever. Two weeks fatafat. Dint laze around much this time though. No complains!! Everything happened smoothly like 'THE' perfect visit to home-sweet-home. :)

College has begun. 8th term results were declared.Hey i´ve scored pretty well..Thanks to a number of 'things' (SssssHHHhhhhhh!!!) Hehehe!! I´m in the ultimate 9th term now. That reminds me i´ve got an orthopaedic lecture to attend in the morning at 8. Go to sleep Xorkes. Cant think of getting up in the afternoon now. But dont u get disappointed. Sunday hain na!! :) :)

3 mistakes?? Really?

2008-06-19T04:09:00.000+05:30

First things first.. I deleted the previous post.. :-) people who have read it must have already guessed the reason.. Thanks to all.. :-) yup, this is my blog.. Hehe!
Right now, i'm reading chetan bhagat's book called "the 3 mistakes of my life". Borrowed it from a friend who said its good.. I havent read the previous bestsellers of this author.. Heard that they were nice n that his books are being converted into films.. Is that true? I dont know..
Somehow, indian authors have never fascinated me. Maybe i was always picked up the wrong authors. Ok listen, i've read just two indian authors- dont even remember their names.. Hey but that Vikram writes good ah bout tigers(his name is vikram rt? That guy who used to come in animal planet for the conservation of tigers) Had read him during the school days, yeah as i typically call it the xorkes style - bachpan mein..
I've read almost half the book(arre the same one - 3 mistakes) n somehow i dunno, cant connect with the author.. I mean to say, its not as gripping as everyone says. I feel like i'm reading a newspaper as though its ok to take a break n then continue n take a break.. The feeling to read it continously till the end seems to have vanished..
It doesnt excite me like robert ludlum or jeffrey archer or just anyone.. Guess, i should finish off this book n then wonder. Maybe i should catch hold of his previous
novels. I really wanna know why he's the best indian bestseller!

Xorkes going home :)

2008-06-12T01:55:00.001+05:30

Heyaaa everyone
i´ve finally got holidays n that too for 15 days (we d poor ones r always deprived of hols, so 15 days is a BLESSING)
yohooooooo..m so happeeee..
will be leaving for home(bbay) on the 12th. luckily this time, my classmate is gonna gimme company. so travelling will be fun. yep, i know the excitement of travelling with unknown will be missing but thats much much better than having someone irritating or continously spitting beside u.
its raining heaven here with lightning and superb thundering effects..
green green everywhere,
yeah yeah i seem to care,
if not it had been the rains,
summer is too tough to bear.. -- i m sure kids could rhyme better than this.. but right now thats not on my mind.. hey its holiday time Xorkes.. enjoy :) :)

Travel-sickness!

2008-06-08T16:44:00.000+05:30

i love travelling but suffer thoroughly from travelling sickness. Half hour in bus/car/train n i go puke puke.. No wonder, Avomine(promethazine) has always stood up to be my best friend in times of deepest troubles.
Its been a boon for me whenever i travel for long hours ( long here implies more than 30 minutes)
Travelling has always been fun. Look around and notice the passengers. There are hundred things u could descibe bout!! There are awful/pleasant/irritating experiences.
I had an awful experience with a fellow passenger while travelling home, she kept spitting all the while in this plastic bag which was overloaded with sputum almost seeping out of the bag(gosh, why did i look inside).. and it was tough to suppress the nausea. Luckily, she got down after 2 stops or else i would have puked on her --- considering her to be a large plastic bag ready to get some dose of her own medicine.
I can never forget my last travel to bombay. My fellow passenger appeared to be a student.So, i introduced myself n she did the same.. But the story doesnt end there.. She turned out to be this Irritating traveller who went on blah blah -- "i like this, i like that.. she´s like this.. she´s like that"..
Couldnt understand a single word. She created this bizzare picture bout everything that she spoke about, which seemed to brighten her face and to add to it there were multiple expressions which kept changing at a fast pace that would give the actors a run for their money. Before i could possibly understand the topic of ONE-SIDED-Conversation, she would jump to another topic at the speed of light. Result -- obviously, i understood NOTHING. We exchanged email addresses. And then, BANG.. i got her mail the next day, which said -- "u remember me? And u remember this cousin of mine i was talking bout. She(cousin) said this to me, that to me. she´s getting married- too young. Blah Blah... Dont u think she shouldnt do this/that.. Will u advice her?"---- There goes her mails in my spam box!! eeeeeks, i´ll think ATLEAST hundred times before conversing with co-passengers during long travels.
Then there are those, " you resemble one of my friends", "my daughter is of ur age" and she likes this-that. she´s doing this and that. The list just goes on and on.. never ending!!
Be polite, Be patient -- come on i´ve heard that a million times.Being a good listener is easier said than done. I consider it nerve recking. Losing temper is just so easy. I wish the auditory system consisted of a pause button resulting in temporary cessation of the activities of vibrating tympanic membrane -- that would be so goooooD..

Oooops.. this is not what i wanted to blog about though. Actually today, i had the nauseating attack again(Inspite of travelling daily for 2 hours by apna-fultooo-mast-gardiwala-train in bbay during junior college days dint happen to give any possible tolerance. nor has commuting in the bus just for 20 min to college been of any help.)Wanted to get down and walk home BUT then whos gonna walk-walk for such a distance, that too in this amazingly stupid n irritating weather. Control Xorkes, divert ur mind.. I´m so relieved reaching home.. Thought of popping in a tablet, lets ditch that idea.. how bout some sleep?? hopefully, i´ll be ok when i get up!!

Dreams

2008-06-01T03:38:00.002+05:30

Do u remember, i had mentioned once in one of the old posts bout dreaming of running barefoot in a forest crushing leaves,jumping from the terrace n simply falling but not landing on the ground( how i wish i could jump around like jackie chan) looking around to notice shacks?? i´ve stopped getting those repetive dreams n have no words to express my happiness.. The reason -- once u decipher the supposedly meaningless events in your dream, u stop getting those dreams.. true!! I know many wont agree with this. So let it be!
I think Sleep without dreams is incomplete. Its fun recollecting the events (when u´ve got nothing to do).. to draw an image from the blurred dotted events -- resulting in a unbelievable distorted story.. lol.Hey, dreams do convey ur subconscious feelings -- not many believe in it.. never mind :)

Ok i dreamt this a week back and was just thinking bout it right now. So here it goes,
I was in college attending a lecture (now the details i dont remember..) there was this basement in a college and thats where the lecture was going on..
Next scene, college bus lands up near the college entrance.. halts almost 30 metres from this basement..
After that, there´s a blast in the bus
The immediate consequence --- in the class, My friend (who happens to be my batchmate-- Class Rep.. and also partner in crime for the funny things happening in postings) explodes. Poor girl. i see her disseminated body. Her head lying on the desk, leg on the floor nearthe teachers feet. eeeeeeeeeesh!!
And then i get up!! :(
The next day; i met my batchmates and narrated the above phantasmagoria and they laugh it off(especially the scattered body parts seems to be exceptionally funny -- i dont know how). How i wish i could make them realise that the appearance wasnt THAtttt funny in dreams!

Read it.. Loud and clear --- Man UTD RULES-ROCKS-REIGNS!!

2008-05-24T23:55:00.008+05:30

OK here it goes! Short n simple.. Loud n clear!!
Read the title of this post a million times till it enters ur disappearing head (head-weight rather) and sinks appropriately in the left over brain pieces! Poor chelsea.. so sad!! hehehehe.. So what r the million-trillion excuses for having lost the cup?? If this would have happened, that would have happened.. blah blah .. lol.. that penalty, this penalty.. hehehe.. chelsea fans can go on n on!! never mind.. its not going to change the fact.. so read again :) lol

This year has been great!! Man utd won, Real Madrid won!

Raul wins De Stefano prize for the best player in Liga..
Time for the Euro 2008.. thats gonna be gripping..So whom are u supporting??
Owww.. Whats France without Zizou?? Come back!! :( :( :(

Birthplace

2008-05-20T00:48:00.002+05:30

Ok. This is the place where "Xorkes" was born! The nursing home remains the same but the docs have changed.
It seems a Sardar doc assisted the delivery. No doubt!! lol

Nadal vs Djokovic

2008-05-18T02:05:00.002+05:30

Todays game was awesome.. lasted for 3 hours.. wow!! its always fun watching those fedex vs nadal vs djokovic matches..

Was supporting nadal coz its been a long time since i´ve watched him play against No 1.. Not that i hate djokovic. its just that recently i´ve witnessed too many meetings between him and fedex. No 3 gave a strong and tough fight. Specially the match point. Flip, poor nadal had to struggle so much. the 40´ s, then the advantage and again coming back to the same 40´s.. wow!! it was superb and a tough-tough fight!! the animated expressions, the last min goof-up by djokovic (bad luck boss). Nadal had to win this match or else he would be placed at No 3... m happy that he has saved his position but yep again lets just stick u right there. Dont even think of progressing any further.. Federer rules..

Waiting for the Finals.. Aaaah the clay court. Its kinda jinxed. hehehe!! Go Fedex GO!!

Terrible

2008-05-14T00:42:00.002+05:30

I´ll keep this particular post SHORT!!

What happened today is terrible. The serial bomb blasts in jaipur -- its horrendous!!
Why?? Why??? Why do u have to resort to such things to show-off your bloody existence? It sucks!! The whole thought process of terrorism sucks.. Its absolute shitttt...
Hope all is safe n fine soon!

Are u kidding? Kiddddsss: all the time!!

2008-05-12T02:56:00.000+05:30

I was teaching my neighbour-kiddo(12 year old) to ride a scooty in the morning.. and was it fun?? do i have to answer that? ofcourse, it was!!

Its always exciting to teach kids(hey, not those little ones.. i still have no courage to face them -- eeeeks they scare me)
Can-i-call-those-chintu´s (below 5) ------ tender coconuts? lol.. Yesterday, i was walking under this b@#|#@ coconut tree, not deliberately.. damn, they exist everywhere in mangalore. If only i could avoid their sight. I´m so bored of these nariyal´s all around. Cant they plant some other trees. Now dont ask me to do the needful, coz i´ve NO dearly affection towards them to go around planting n all, but i truly object towards the destruction of forests(aaah my love for snakes, the other reptiles, orangutans overrule) which again implies i should be doing my bit by planting trees.. But thats a BIG BIG NO.. watering them.. blah blah!! Xorkes is confused. So expect no intelligent answers!!!(Did i say Intelligence?? Haha.. read that again -- "Intelligence" jumps around here n there in hopes of getting a possible medium of entrance into xorkes brains but xorkes repels them all-the-time saying: "jaaga nahin, baad mein aao!") This is for those ppl who love planting trees -- LOOK, its time u plant something other than coconuts, start caring for the the other species. How bout an alternative -- other fruit-bearing trees. Creeeeps.. why do i divert from my actual topic n go around givng not-interested-to-be-accepted gyaaaan?? Ya, so whr was i? Ye, walking on the road and one bloody coconut just fell in front of my leg and look at the brains of that stupid coconut, it hit the ground and rebound --- on my ankles. Thudddd!! Of all the places on earth, it had to hit the left ankle??? On a positive note, thats Great.. Had it hit my head, i wouldnt have survived to blog.. abbe, kya blog- jog.. zindaa nahi rehti thi main.. contusion ho jata, subdural hemorrhage.. baap re!! Hey hello.. how are you? I´m alive.. but my ankle hurts all over again. Nice to be alive and kicking. Actually what bothers me, is the rebounce effect. Couldnt it rebound on the opposite side and land on the vacant road. Mera Hi Pair Mila Usko? Firstly, this left chronic ankle injury leading to an ugly-permanently swollen ankle. Have read in the Ortho books n those Ortho docs also have the same opinion that the swelling shall subside in 6 months. Abbe, boss kayko majjak karela hain? Its been 4 years. And now, my ankle gets the unwanted-undesirable-yet-always-expected sprains even while simply walking!! i think i gotta walk baby steps.. lol!!

Aaaaaah, yes those babies --- they are so eager to experiment n learn. So very full-of-life! They´ve got millions of supposedly innocent questions to ask. Its not possible to have all the answers. So, u divert the young mind with silly question. But, they are so adamant in finding out stuff and go on tautologically and i-assume-unnecessarily questioning the same thing a hundred times. Usually, they land up short-circuiting my leftover-brains too early with their inquisitive nature but then one crooked stare and they buzzzz off (hmmm.. the supreme-elderly Feel.. tskkk tskkk) hehehe!!

Anyways, i actually wanted to mention something else. I mean --- this neighbour kid( shall be addressed as dude 1) Yeah, he´s a fast learner. He learnt it( to ride) too fast and took me on a double ride for an hour too. Later, in the evening, he pleaded to let him ride by himself! I did! He took 3 rounds while i observed him from a visible distance. Suddenly this another kid, whos his schoolmate (whom i shall call dude 2) turned up and started fooling around with his cycle in front of the scooty. I called out to dude1 to return but it was too late.. dasssssshhhh. Dude 1 banged against dude 2´s cycle. Luckily dude 2 ( guess, the 6th sense) jumped out of his bicycle on time and dude 2 (forget sixth sense, none of his senses were working) kept on accelarating instead of using the brakes and crushed the handles of that poor chaps cycle. I rushed to the scene and screamt at him to use his brakes which he finally did. Quietly, he parked the scooty in the corner n joined me while i was checking and inquiring dude 2 bout any possible injuries. Dude 1 asked me if dude 2 was alright to which i replied, "Yes, everything´s ok!!" On hearing this, he(dude 1) immediately socked him, laughed and then said," Now, dont u dare try that again?" Dude 2 started crying and apologized. It turned out that dude 2 had suddenly applied brakes to check out dude 1´s biking reflex and knowing the possible outcome, he´d jumped out of the cycle on time.. Wierd!! These little boys are wierd! Thankfully, nothing absurd happened to any of them and i can laugh at this incident!

Hodgepodge

2008-05-08T22:21:00.002+05:30

Got up early.. ran off to brush, splashed water on face and then ting-tong suddenly the realization of today being a holiday punched me. abhi kya karu?? swiftly hit the bed but no signs of lethargy! owww..
So grabbed the keyboards and here the words just flow!!

Yesterday night, i was trying to behave like a left handed brilliant-idiot.. Why was i doing that? No specific reasons. I was reading renal physiology n anatomy(basically, brushing up basics before starting the actual topic renal medicine n surgery) and then i got bored too early..
Needed a break(i dont know for what. but i did need one) Just anything so as to drive of the sleep which was acting as No-blessing-in-any-disguise.. So tried using my left hand to draw lines, circles, write alphabets. Was it easy?? No ways!! By the time i completed writing somewhat ´neatly´ from A-Z, i had this pins and needles sensation involving the distal end of the fingers, wrist joint and in the supinators
(anyone has a probable diagnosis?). Also, i had this strange aching desire to flip the pen to the opposite hand in order to let the instincts of a right hander overrule - These instincts always persist - be it conscious.. subconscious or unconscious.. how do i supposedly change that? gosh.. i need to practice. practice lot more! ya, atleast that much I KNOW! ;)

Eventually, i let go of this silly tp and started reading again.. Dunno when i slept and ouch these rock-solid books(which i thought were pillows) for 8 hours, also i had these constant stream of rhythmic dreams (which i fail to recollect.. why is it so tough to recollect ur dreams??). These all have ultimately resulted in neck pain. Cant look up.. Ouch!! Look, xorkes.. when u type, ur supposed to ONLY type, not enact them. Have decided to re-read the same thing with hopes of remembering atleast something. Gotta think of alternatives to be awake(ur suggestions are welcome).. Its so easy to stay awake watching those football matches or simply being online. But when it comes to studies.. There´s a Big Noooo unless ofcourse its a night before the exam when u´ve got absolutely no alternatives other than write something sensible or maybe u could politely handover a blank paper to that examiner who carries an expression "the-paper-was-easy-u-fool". Hmmm.. i gotta sip-in more coffee.. By the way, i love coffeee.. slurp slurp!! Was addicted to coffee for a month during the preparatory leave for 3rd year exams. I had 230 cups of coffee that whole month..Pheww!! Almost 7-8 cups a day along with the regular dose of morning n evening cups of tea(thats a habit since childhood which can be skipped anytime, but i hate having milk so tea is an absolute substitution)

What else? Ya.. Did anyone check yesterdays´s Real Madrid match in Spanish League.. Yipeee Raul scored brilliantly :) Even, Man Utd is doing greattttt in the EPL and UEFA.. Cristiano Rocks!! Go Utd go... Zooooooooooooooooooooommmmm :)

There are times when i do nothing.. Ok, dont laugh! I´ll admit - Most of the times, i sit back and ..... well, just sit back! Some of my friends reckon - watch movies. Its supposed to be a great source of timepass. Come on, its tough to do that always. I cant be a picture house like u. Ok maybe one movie, fine 2.. ok to the max three. Can do that for a day.. What bout the next day? Its boring to repeat the routine.
Today - Lazy Sunday, one of those days when i want to do something different from the regular weekday activities.. Lets give the tv a break.. So headed for the beach.. the waves, the sand, the clouds, children playing in the water.. Snap-1, snap-2.. click click. I´ve clicked a hundred times at the same place but the habit remains! Everytime, there´s a different output.. Something extra.. wow! Photography is indeed fun! Later at night, i headed for a reception. Dinner was great.. Hogged chicken curry, chicken fry! Coo-koo-do-kooo! Returned home and switched on the tv.
Not the same news again, I´m bored of it. Since yesterday the same tale had been going on.. How many days are u gonna punish us for being a cricket-crazy country?
Bhajji- bhajji - all around,
He slapped someone - how does it sound?
Someone cried - on the ground,
Media captured it - will fetch them pounds,
Change the channel - where´s the remote? Its not to be found :( :(
flippindo, finally.. change the channel. fast!! there must be something.. no, there´s nothing else.
But what do i usually watch?? Not in the order of priority. listed randomly.
1) BBC - i love the channel. Its not just the news but also the debates, tours, tech stuff, documentaries.. they have a wonderful way of presentation. Everything is so organised. So very professional. I wish our channels learn atleast 10 percent from them. Alternate Indian News channel - NDTV n CNN-IBN.
2)Discovery - Man v/s Wild is good.
National Geographic.. History shows rock!
Animal Planet - I still love watching Steve Irwin shows. Jeff Corwin is a great presenter too. The snakes, chameleons, orangutans - so cute!
3)Travel n living - Ian Wright -- he´s my favourite. Boohooo.. i dont get this channel here. I´ve told the cable operator so many times. Uselesss!!
4)Espn/Star Sports - Socccer all the time! havent been following the game regularly since 4 years. The reason - You must have guessed! Ya thats right.. I know its disappointing! Hey, Real Madrid n Man Utd Rocks!
5)Movie Channels - I dont have the patience to sit for 2 hours with the hundred advertisements. Movies should be watched continously or else there´s no fun! Animation films - dooooodle dooo :)
6)Music channels

I cant tolerate Zee news, Star news n those innumerable ones! Looks like a new stupid news channel is being launched every day. Does it make any difference? Ofcourse yes, they are born to torture us. Bakwaaaaas. They have NO standards. Saaap bhaga aadmi ke peeche, Mil giye Ravan - Lanka ko khoj nikala, bandar bhada chaalaak, machli bani maharani? Ho kya raha hain?? Thoda bhi deemag hain ki nahin? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGH!! Cool Xorkes, go to sleep.. U´ve gotta get up early. Its monday tomorrow. All-in-all, the day was great!

When it comes to children, i´m the first one to run a mile away from them. Thats the toughest thing on hand.. Handling kids. whoooooosh..I´m scared to handle them coz i have this phobia that i might land up hurting them. The infants - they are so tiny.. So cute. Tied in a cloth. Even slight mishandling --- yeah thats a BIG deal! A crack, a dislocation, fracture.. NO NO NO.. My mind goes blank. And the kids who are around one year old - Its so tough to relate to them.. What should i say? Gosh, which language. I cant understand a word of the abachabalabakabaaa.. The other day, a 17 month old child kept saying bashooooo bashooo.. and i asked a hundred things, what bashooo?? who bashoo?? Finally i asked my friend what that miniature thingy was saying. she heard him and immediately said he wanted to play with a toy BUS. creeeeeeeeeeep!! how the hell did she understand. and next minute this kiddo spots a cat on the front cover of a book and screams michcha micha.. whats happening?? Paedo postings scare me. I dont want them.. Another month, and i´ll have to face them. HAVE TO.. Time to learn how to deal with kids. Dont run away from them. Steady. Just be polite n patient!!
