Happy Pondicherry Independence Day 2022

 

Evening stroll

In campus

Cruel world...

         Not having tried the famous chaat shop nearby I decided to drop by today after my daily routine....here shops are unlike in bangalore where they sell food and drinks together.
         In this shop the owner sells just two items and his daughter (still in her preteens) accompanies him doing both the preparing and cashier job.watching all this this my enthusiasm just broke down(had already placed my order).this little girl who was supposed to be enjoying her childhood instead is working  here for her living.her father looks helpless and these days with so many rape cases being reported I can only imagine the mental trauma and insecurity he is going through.I did finish my ordered dish and came back with a pensive mood.

change in me...

these days i feel that i have changed a bit....u can see me listening to bakti slokas or go to a temple quite often...and dep inside frankly i feel sometimes that am getting older..this feeling comes especially whenever i meet some young kids[and cousins] and the way people talk to me...after joining PG people think[relatives] that am settled and no more a young chap who used to be a student...and now having crossed 25 years of age i feel that one whole part of my life ie youth is almost over and have stepped in to the 2nd phase of my life...my only fear is whether i will be able to stay young and feel it as years pass by.....

p.s-

my new neighbours here..parrots!..being an animal lover this is a treat to me..

Obsession

People's obsession with alcohol..(or great marketing?)...saw this just yesterday at a nearby shopping centre....at first was dazed to c people sell beers so openly at a public shopping centre but when I went near it was a total surprise ....a beer shampoo!!...lol

Cyclone nilam...

Oh yeah!..she is crossing pondic enroute to andra today evening but am ready to face it....chips,tea,chocholates etc are ready and am gonna enjoy my evening with these and good music....common baby!....

beginning....

1-loads and loads of OPD cases who cleverly bypass it and land up in casualty for medications...[who rarely succeed]
2-road traffic accidents...being a tertiary centre you shoud be ready for this...being a MLC[medico legal case] u shd be extra cautious regarding documenting and handling the crowd...already 2 cases in my pocket today.....
3-emotional ladies......those who are always ready to pop up a tablet for no reason and land up in casualty with their extra caring husband[read frustrated]...am talking about poisoning...from 10 to 40 yr olds female gender this is so common...this also being a MLC you in a soup if u mess up[like the husband when the wife survives].
4-staff patient....real PIA types[Pain In the Ass]....always extra demanding and try to boss u[even a chapraasi is a staff right?]....but we really don't give a damn for them.
5-real sick cases....this is the reason your posted there..do a quick triage and refer to the parent department...this s where your medical knowledge will play a role....
6-help my colleagues-any respiratory case comes am expected to

this sums up my 1st day in casualty today...

p.s-

best part is that you are your own BOSS..u can dictate terms..and also sometimes get to work with nice people :D

Bread fest.....

In pondicherry....beach side!

life..

life is hectic as a JR [junior resident]...

duty[every 3 days],wards,irritating patients,communication problem,homesickness.....all these drive me really crazy sometimes.....sometimes i feel why did i land up here..kahte hain na 'shaadi ka ladoo hai aisa Jo na khaye who pachtaye, Khaane wala bhi Pachtaye'...but that is life i guess..u have to face it....just 3 yrs and may be one yr as a SR [senior resident] and am done with this place...

p.s-

1-still havent bought the watch i want to- 'casio edifice'...

and planning to buy one good 250cc bike in the near future...hm...so much to plan for..

2-good old frnds r really hard to find...am lucky that i have such kinds even now..:)

3-one of my childhood frnd [neighbor] got murdered recently...though he was just a frnd to me i had quite a few nice childhood memories with him which are priceless

duty...

duty + colleague's birthday party + duty = shivratri......in short i managed to wake up for the first time for this festive occasion :D

no work...

2 weeks of peripheral postings and am loving it ....no wards or opds...just some night duties.......nw all i do is just sleep,eat [try every new eatoutlet nearby] and browse net in mobile [during duty hours]....

shd plan something nice this weekend..hmm....may be some small rd trip or a movie...

1am

I hate such loosers who after an alcohol binge land up in casualty with just minor complaints and u end up loosing up sleep attending these people.

Pondicherry being a UT and alcohol available at cheaper rates makes people here quite vulnerable to addiction

p.s-

-UT-union territory

-for me my sleep is more important rather than the health of these addicted loosers..
