Neocortical Impulses!

We did not have theory classes today. So after lunch, 6 of us decided to go to ram gopal verma's phoonk. The first half of the movie feels as if it is trying to scare you,only, nothing else. It does succeed at many instances, mainly due to sudden appearances of people coupled with sudden booming sounds. The second half picks up pace and the movie moves forward well. People who have never even heard of black magic may find the whole movie absurd, like a friend of mine did. I believe that, to enjoy such movies, 'suspension of disbelief' is required atleast for the duration of the movie. Some may not require any suspension as they are already believers. Our kichcha sudeep is acting in a bollywood movie for the first time and he does not disappoint. The cute little girl who plays his daughter has played her part well too. The climax is the best part of the movie. Although i did not find the movie as scary as it was touted to be, i did like it. A simple story told well and in a

It's been a typical weekend, a proper weekend like it is supposed to be. It had been quite a while. Slept quite late yesterday, got up late today... Watched the movie 10000 bc, was quite a good movie. Then i have been watching the india sl cricket match since then. Indians are not playing that well, they have lost 4 wickets. Lets see what happens. The olympics is also coming to an end today, usain bolt was amazing, i saw him run the 200m on tv, amazing. Phelps was stunning, 8 gold medals, wow... There goes another wicket, 5 down now, just when it seemed India was recovering...

hmmm.... i don`t know how to describe my performance in the OBG and paediatrics internals. both of them did not go as well as i had hoped them to go.... it was quite a task to prepare for the paediatrics internals, 3 days, 30 odd topics. i ended up skipping some unimportant topics and not revising fully what i had read.... don`t know what else to write about now.....bye for now!

Yes, this is the first time i am blogging from a mobile. I am using the e-mail to blog feature here. So i dont know how to add tags to this post. Maybe i will do that later. . The reason i am blogging from a mobile is there has been a power cut since 1 and a half hours here and its raining cats and dogs. So i dont think the power will be restored soon. This has been happening successively for 3 days now, yesterday there was no power for 4 hours.:( hmmm.. I have internals coming up, 2 of them next week, but this power! Tomorrow is our 61st independence day. Let us all celebrate it with great joy and be proud to be Indians. Also we have a festival tomorrow as well, the varamahalakshmi vratam. Happy varamahalakshmi vratam readers of my blog and friends. Bye for now. -- Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. J. R. R. Tolkien

hurray! the visitor count to my blog has touched 1000! thank you all the visitors. a few more comments on my posts would be very welcome! meanwhile, here is a hilarious Jaggesh video! enjoy!

right when i was fretting about internals on 2 consecutive days-11th and 12th of august, our clinical internals in surgery got preponed to 8th august from 11th and the obg theory internals got postponed to 19th august. call it divine intervention!!! by the way, we have pediatrics internals coming up on 23rd august, both the subjects have quite a lot to be read, but at least we got a chance to DIE ANOTHER DAY! and the surgery internals itself- they got over on 8th,friday. i had to take a thrombo angitis obliterans(TAO) case, seen exclusively in males, in smokers only. people who are sensitive to nicotine in smoke develop severe inflammatory reactions in their blood vessels-especially small and medium sized vessels and blood flow to the parts supplied is severely affected, especially lower limbs. this guy had one of his legs amputated- above knee and the other leg also was suffering from lack of blood supply too. it looked like he would need amputation of that leg too! so smokers, beware

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival." - C. S. Lewis "Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods." - Aristotle A friend is like a flower, a rose to be exact, Or maybe like a brand new gate that never comes unlatched. A friend is like an owl, both beautiful and wise. Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost, whose spirit never dies. A friend is like a heart that goes strong until the end. Where would we be in this world if we didn't have a friend. - By Emma Guest let`s celebrate the greatest relationship on earth-friendship. wish all my friends and visitors to this blog a very happy friendship day!
