Running in my head...

Hello fellow H1N1 (Swine flu for people who havent cared to heard about the WHO renaming ceremony) potential victims. Lo behold! Are you completely prepared for the next disaster to strike our country after Rakhi ka swayamvar??!! If not, good, you should read ahead and if you are, it is even more imperative that you read ahead. Some Basic facts about disease first. Flu like diseases are caused by probably the smallest creatures known to man that are viruses. When I say smallest I mean they reach sizes of a few nano metres which is like really small. These viruses are usually present in our nasal secretions and sometimes in our lungs too. When we sneeze or spit, we actually expel relatively large droplets in the air. These are visible and settle down somewhere due to gravity. Some of the small ones though float in the air carrying infective germs including viruses in cases of infected persons. These small droplets can be very tiny and invisible to the naked eye and linger ...

I can't believe people still actually come here...I mean I don't come here myself. Pleasantly surprised to see the comments on the last post. But I am back again. Back because I can. Because I am done with the exams that sucked a year out of my life....But don't worry...I sucked a few months too...I don't really think that makes any sense. But hey I am back after really long so cut me some slack awrite? :P Feels good to converse with screen in front of me again. I hope I can come back for good. Who cares what I write. Ok..so..a little update. I am done with the exams and now I have to fly off to Amrika. But haven't got the Visa yet. This is gonna be my first trip abroad and alone. Got a hell lot of things I planned on doing after my exams get over. And already checked off the first thing. 'Go write something on my blog'. :D And now I am gonna do the second thing which is...actually make a list of what I need to do. So anybody with any ideas...let me know. I ...

An era has ended. A genius is gone. An idol for idols has left us. But I am sure, even though he may not appear in tabloids and controversies any more, even though millions across the world would not hope for one more touch of his awesomeness, even though there will never be another Michael Jackson concert, the magic will live on, the music will live on, the legend will live on. After all, he is 'The Michael Jackson'. Yes, may you like him or not, you cannot deny that his name epitomizes a legend, a giant wave that took over the world, a true star. I may sound like a typical fan when I say all that, and may be I am. But to be honest, I do not know any other artist who could capture someone's imagination like this one could. A man who demolished every boundary there ever was. He demolished music genre,age, nationality, race, gender and sometimes even just being human. He was surreal, a mythical creature in that sense. His music, his videos, his costumes, his persona all make...

Those whose religious sentiments get hurt, understand neither Religion nor God.

One of the biggest problems doctors face is the conflict between your mind and your heart. I am sure everyone does have such moments but none as heartbreakingly critical or poignant as a doctor. During my internships too I had these dilemmas. Especially when facing a very poor patient, patients dangerously careless and ignorant about their healths , abusive husbands, violent patients, the list goes on.... It is during these times that one is compelled to decide between the heart and the mind. Anyway, this isn't a medicine related post or I would have put it up on the other blog, so I would not dwell into that aspect too much. The post is about my own personal realisation and acceptance albeit from this. While reading about medical ethics in the US recently, I came across a seemingly simple 'law'. Yes folks, it is the law. It says, ' A competent patient has the right to refuse or choose their treatment'. Yes, it does seem pretty straight forward and obvious but the...

I am a prolific discoverer... ...invariably most of those things are discovered by someone else already. Image courtesy: Flickr(martjj)

It's been more than a year I suppose since I've been bit by the bug of international chat, the fascination of the world beyond and of the people beyond. I have had many an interesting encounter in this little initiative. It was an extremely interesting and exciting journey knowing how people around the world are different and yet so similar. This may seem a bit childish for someone who has travelled and has international friends. But I am among the majority in India who hardly ever see a non Indian in real life let alone know one. Meeting people from around the world was an interesting mix of similarities in thinking and living to dissimilarities that glared back. I could go on about this but the real subject of the post is something else. It is something the struck me recently, while talking to someone perhaps. It was the realization of the dimensions of my world. The title as well as the post doesn't talk about the whole wide world as we know it. It is about our...

Ok...long overdue tag this! Don't know if the tagger even remembers I am supposed to do this...hehe. All we have to do image search the answers and post any image from the first page.

The age you will be on your next birthday.. -xx99eledge A place I would like to visit: Very Difficult to decide within Europe but I think Italy nudges slightly in front at the moment...:) -gojca Favourite place: My mind. -whatmegsaid Favourite food: No particular food really comes to mind...So I think of the one thing that I have craved and craved bad...Chocolate pastry...though not really food.

Yeah...I want to write something, cant think of any of the brilliant ideas or Eureka discoveries that pay my mind a visit from time to time. So I'll just blabber on about my life as usual... I got real serious about doing something fun these few days that I've got as I mentioned in the last post. It's kinda funny coz after a few days, the fact that I wanted to do something fun started stressing me out. But past that stage now. Have got a few things done..and am content. I painted Sophie, my pet dog, as in I painted a portrait of her (hah equi? ;)) I liked it...got nice comments. Maybe I'll put it up here. Like I said in the last post, went to that friend of mine and worked on 3 songs. Didn't complete any and had a few problems with him but overall I am more that satisfied with the work done. Some beautiful tunes..it was such learning experience. I learnt, that I am not that bad. I can do something. I learnt one good thing about my music was that it wasn't rest...

Aaaaahhh....and I come again. Trying to rediscover my liking for writing yet again... Haven't seen blogger for about 4 months now. Haven't been able to visit all of those great blogs I used to. But I return. Worse than ever! :D Ok so, I gave the exams I was trying to since a looong time. Finally feeling so relieved. There are so many things to do that keep popping into your head when you need to study. And when you talking about my head..I am sure it's more than the average (refer to the Blog title). And everytime I got this great idea, I put it on hold thinking I would work on it as soon as I get this exam over with. Hehehe...I am free now. Nothing to do for the whole damn day. And I can't remember one bloody good thing to do! So the initial relief, sense of freedom and the anticipation for something exciting is slowly turning to boredom, a struggle to think of something exciting and more boredom. Add to it the fact that most of the 'friends' are busy and n...
