Day out on a bundh!

well,it's hard work being a doctor-you have to go to the hospital even on bharath bundh! i decided to use the public transport today as our bmtc buses were supposed to ply despite the bundh;i also thought it would be safer to travel in a bus than a two wheeler today. i had so much confidence that i even bought a daily pass when i got a bus in the morning-call it over confidence.....
it was actually very pleasing to see our bangalore roads so empty and the weather was pretty cool too today; i reached the hospital 10 minutes late as i had not got a bus quickly enough....
in the hospital itself,i think there was 50% attendance!
a cool morning started turning into an irritating afternoon-i had noticed that only one bus had gone through the road in front of our hospital since morning.... when it was time to leave, i saw that the auto drivers were having a field day.... i trudged back to the great k.r.market bus stand to find one police van parked there and nothing else!
i finally had to fall prey to one of the auto drivers and had to shell out 150 bucks to reach home. i had to bear his slow driving while he was looking for more potential customers-asking "ಎಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಬೇಕೆ ಸಾರ್?" to everyone he saw on the road! to top it all,the auto driver was pissed that he had to come such a long way and i was paying him only double the meter charge!

talk about bharath bundh and the losses incurred by the various sectors today,but the auto-wallahs sure made some quick buck today....

German juggernaut rolls on!

well,well, the germans gave done it again-score 4 goals in an important world cup match,its the third time this world cup. what an entertaining second half it was! to score 4 against argentina..... wow.... the counter attacks against england were impressive, but today, the passes were incisive and the deft touches decisive! looks like they`ll go all the way and even lift the cup this time. i was a staunch supporter of england before the cup began but i am rooting for the germans now,they have made me a convert!

Mixed Feelings

it was with mixed feelings that i had ended my last real post and i start this one with the same mixed feelings. i am happy for having been lucky enough to get a pg seat in my first attempt in bmcri-m.s.ophthalmology!
yet,it was not the first subject in my order of preference.....
i still miss my ug days at bmcri.... with great power comes great responsibility,haha.... i have quite a responsible job now,cant get away,now, with mistakes that might have been forgiven in internship.
being in school was better than being in college was better than being in mbbs was better than being an intern was better than being a pg.....
change is the order of nature and life has to move on,so be it....
onto greater (ad)ventures then!

Updates

tomorrow is officially our last day of internship, but because of a 4 day strike we went on, in the beginning of internship last year, we have got to do a 4 day extension:( socials coming up on 9th, graduation day on 13 th(as of now).

am already feeling so bad about internship coming to an end,about college life in general coming to an end.... can`t imagine how it`ll be without your closest friends around you;am surely going to miss everything about bmc. am feeling pretty depressed even as i type this.... but life has to go on, we have to move on to greater (?ad)ventures in life,isn`t it?
