the way...

The road to success is not straight.
There is a curve called Failure,
A loop called Confusion,
Speed bumps called Friends,
Red lights called Enemies,
Caution lights called Family,
You will have flats called Jobs,
But, if you have a spare called Determination,
An engine called Perseverance,
Insurance called Faith,
A driver called God,
You will make it to a place called Success.

birthday post...

its already june and feels like just yesterday i have finished by internship...this is one part of my medical life which i will cherish forever....those night duties,funny patients,cute babies,free breakies from pgs...miss them all.

6 birthdays coming up in 9 days...5 of my friends[including mine-today]...its only when ur twin wishes for ur birthday u can reply back "wish u the same";)

my daily routine has been going crazy...almost daily i get up late and end up being an insomniac at nights...shd bring it back to my old ones.

is it only me that am finding fb boring these days..its the same old updates/videos....

people always tend to forget 2 things in life-grass is always greener[seems like] on the other side and that in swimming u can control only ur swimming and not how others do it.

p.s-

i really get pissed when people wish for ur birthday on seeing fb,orkut etc...seems like they just wish for the sake of it.

timepass...

too many street dogs cropping up across my street...atleast there r 5-7 young ones....planning to treat them with biscuits in the near future.

watched 'Shutter island' movie[in psp]..a great psychological thriller with good twist in the end[another Scorsese masterpiece].

p.s-

Wavin Flag-K'naan featuring Ajram-fifa 2010 WC song.

Quote of the day

All of us tend to put off living.We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

-Dale Carnegie

p.s-

back to bangalore....:)

icecreams[local],
sleep,
beach walks
idle conversations with the 1yr old niece
rain

sums up my days here....@ native in saligrama[near mangalore]....taking a brk from my daily routine.

p.s-
wont be able to catch up with house latest episode here:(

BreakYour Heart

Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart ft. Ludacris

Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart ft. Ludacris

patience really helps..

Over years i have found out[by experience] that what ever situation ur in a little bit more patience at that very moment makes a lot of difference....like when you are constantly getting irritated while studying by others[mom especially] or when confronting an irritated child[due to sickness] and its parents or in obg labour rooms where the ever pouring admission [atleast 25-40 new in a 12 hr shift totaling around 60] makes u loose ur cool and frequently usually end up shouting at them.

At the start of my internship last yr i had made a decision..never frustrate out on an ailing patient's kins,a child's parents[from my personal experience] and on a pregnant lady having labour pains [which is equivalent to an amputated finger].Looking back at it now makes me really contended and happy that atleast somewhere i was right for a moment and treated the people the way they deserve.

p.s-

one of my close friends still regrets for shouting at those innocent pregnant ladies.

i loose my cool when it comes to incompetent nurses and ward boys.

saw legend of bagger vance yesterday....nice entertaining watch...[starring Matt damon and Will smith]

pic of the day...

p.s-

this was taken inside NICU...a neonate on phototherapy..

i so miss my paeds postings:(

chennai visit...

chennai visit=hot humid climate+alien langauge+traveller's diarrhoea+tsunami scare+beach visit[which was like a kalasipalya market].......

MAD-ras

>1ok people,50 seats[o:],only 4 centres in India=aiims exam...leaving today to MAD-ras....hope i dont end up being just a burnt chicken there...

just few updates...[am alive]

with aiims exam nearby [this sunday] i shd be totally into books now which unfortunately am not [regret about this every minute]...sometimes i totally loose motivation [also the opposite] and end up watching movies,browsing etc...[almost 31/2 movies in 4 days]

this summer heat is really making me addicted to ice-creams...almost every alternate day i eat one and luckily havent fallen sick yet.[really miss those lollies which i used to have during my school days]

watched Talladega nights yesterday...with Will Ferrell in it as a driver who grows up becoming a driver.Thoroughly enjoyed it [being his fan] with its silly humor and good storyline.

More i read psychiatry the more i think am having hypochondriasis[especially bipolar disorder]....may be am too much into the subj and some self evaluation.

finally have got all my graduation snaps..totally love them and will always cherish that day.Only regret is that i havent taken any snap together with my best friend [since ukg we are together].We were so involved during that event that neither of us realized wht we were missing.

p.s-

remember this classic song of Baba sehgal "dil dhadake"...totally miss those old rappers [apache indian and jazzy B]

a story..

A young boy travelled far from his home to study under a great teacher. When he met the wise old man, his first question was, 'How long will it take me before I am as wise as you?'

"The response came swiftly, 'Five years.'

"'This is a very long time,' the boy replied. 'How about if I

work twice as hard?'

'"Then it will take ten,' said the master.

'"Ten! That's far too long. How about if I studied all day and

well into the night, every night?'

'"Fifteen years,' said the sage.

"'I don't understand,' replied the boy. 'Every time I promise to

devote more energy to my goal, you tell me that it will take longer.

Why?'

'"The answer is simple. With one eye fixed on the destination,

there is only one left to guide you along the journey'"

its an excerpt from Robin sharma's "The monk who sold his ferrari" book and has always been my favuorite when it comes to philosophy.

Quote of the week...

Its not that some people have will power and others dont.Its that some people are ready to change and others are not.-

James Jordon.

p.s-

have a nice weekend!!:)

legal now..

finally,atlast[and after little bit of luck must say] i got my name registered in my state council..tht means am a legally certified doc who can start practising and moreover people from now on can sue me for my misadventures[pretty scared]!....getting this work done itself was a big pain in the ass....extension,getting the duplicate challan and those stupid office people[our collg is a govn one] who make u go around 100 times to get a sign done.

Studying for long hours[though not consistent] has become a routine now...but i still feel internship was better with just work and little bit of academic thing.

Havent watched a single good movie from a month..quite a record for me....waiting for IM2..planning to see this one in big screen[hope this isnt a pseudo-3D like CotTs].

p.s-

spending 3 hrs[council people made me wait till evening so had no other go] alone[!!] in Mcd yest was just too aweful...now half an hour had to buy something to keep myself and those cleaners busy..[empty table here doesnt show tht i havent eaten anything!]

Gudibande visit..

last week  had been to Gudibande...in A.p..4hrs from here...

p.s-

my friend is a CMO there...

a new life...

after grad everything has changed..no more duties,getting up early,rounds or any post duty offs....now i can do wht ever i want provided i compromise on my exam preparations....

-have realized studying for hours is not my thing...those who say they can study14-16 hrs/day r either bluffing[after success many] or are the psycho types.

-friends cant be trusted always...many who say r ur friends stab ur back[too much competition u know!] or like those small beatles eat u inside out.luckily i dont have such kinds

-exercise is a good way to destress urself...went for a jog yest and had never felt so good recently...hope i cont it...

-have to get my name reg in karn council[legally]...quite a long procedure:(

-nothing beats HOUSE...still now its a kickass serial with its trademark sarcasm and medical research.

-have been reading abt the CRPF massacre in the newspapers recently...even after seeing so many deaths @ our hosp i still feel bad for those who die for no reason...all around 80 getting blown away together shows how incapable we[India] are and the disrespect we have for lives of soldiers.

p.s-

recently came across an article where the CAT topper says he used to study just 1hr/day//wtf!!..he expects us to believe this bullcrap!?

Morning after dark

Timbaland-Morning after dark ft kelly,soshy.......

typical timbaland song with 'his' style beats and trademark facial expression[love them]....

confused...

whether to work/join coaching for pg/how to go abt for the pg exam nearby[one month].....anyone out there plz help me?[med people;)]

p.s-

500th post!.

finally...

-finally voted for the 3rd time...BBMP polls...this time no such enthu...voted just for the sake of it.......

-finally will be finishing my internship tomo...had 15 days extension in ENT...actually i enjoyed working there..got to meet some interesting people and moreover it always good to work with ur -juniors[who have just started]..the respect u get from them is just overwhelming sometimes:)).........

-after 11 long yrs meeting some of my school[7th std] friends today....really excited and looking forward to it...

-have decided to frame atleast my grad snap...after going through my private pic blog have realized that snaps do matter a lot and really help in reliving ur old life again....

p.s-

this steth[worlds cheapest;)] has been my companion throughout my internship.......

RCB !..am coming

finally..its time to watch the IPL 3.0 live...RCB vs CSK @ 8pm......!!

things i miss..

finally with the internship coming to an end [not counting the extension in ENT am doing] i would like to highlight the things which i think i liked and would miss from now on...

1-stipend-this may sound weird but frankly this is the thing i will miss the most..financially it helped and hope from now on i need not work part time till i get into a pg...

2-post duty brkfast-after 24 hrs duty this was the silver lining i was looking forward to each morning[post duty]..nothing more cherishing than a good brky[with coffee] on a post duty morning..will surely miss it [more so since most of the times pgs used to pay for it:P]

3-sisters-will miss those v rare cute sisters whom i worked with and were my good friends....

4-seminar perks-only reason we interns used to attend those boring post lunch seminars was the perk we used to get there-a simple tea/coffee and some snacks [and also a way to escape from ur ward work]

5-free samples-sometimes its tht more than the patients its the medical reps[MRs] who pester u with their products and medicines....we used to get a lot of such samples[most of which i never used] and sometimes even movie tickets!!

p.s-

thts our official pullover of the passing out batch...[brugandi color]...

graduation...

,finally having the degree....

D day

finally D day has arrived...finally graduating today....

dance,dance,dance...

yesterday we had our class socials [much like pre-graduation party without alcohol].After so many months [almost one yr] i got to meet many of my classmates whom i really missed during my internship.Rather than a simple get together it was more of a pre-graduation farewell party where we gad everything-a formal function,a trip down the memory line in the form of pics and in the end when we all by ourselves we ate,drank,talked[gossiped] and danced together.

jugni hasdi...

watched Oye lucky lucky oye movie yesterday-a simple,so well narrated script with humor of utmost quality and the still photographs used in the movie was something new to bwood[like in Hwood] which suited the script perfectly.Abhay in the role of a charismatic brilliant thief was just perfect[like his Deol cousins].

p.s-

jugni hasdi is the song in the movie [played in the background]...reminds of those good old punjabi disco songs[mika etc]

finally graduating

"Success is a journey not a destination. The doing is usually more important than the outcome. Not everyone can be Number 1."- Arthur Robert Ashe, Jr. from the time i remember all i ever wanted was to get into the medical field.When anyone used to ask my friends wht they wanted to become rather than telling pilot,actor etc [and other fancy things] i used to ans just one thing ie DOCTOR.Now after 1642 of medical schoofinallyl and 365 days of training am finally graduating on 13th of this month!..:).....

will miss it...

way to OPDs[out patient department] inside the hosp....will surely miss them in the coming days:(

success guru[s]..

why so called success gurus [self acclaimed],motivational speakers glorify themselves with others success/work and present themselves as super successful when all they do is just suggest and preach and nothing else?!...

guess its the peoples fault where everyone wants/glorifies success/fame[u can only eat when fed] and lot of loosers [or those who think they r!] who make them look successful.

Failure...

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
-Sir Winston Churchill

time for some lateral thinking on life!!;)
