Neocortical Impulses!

and the kingdom of the crystal skull ,watched the movie yesterday(released here only on the 30th) and found out that harrison ford still rocks and i still like adventure movies! i had seen the earlier movies when i was in school(i was not yet born when the first movie was released) and had loved the first movie the most. the latest movie is good, but i still think the first was the best. and the much hyped ipl comes to an end today, the finals at 8 pm. it has lived upto the hype and expectations according to me, had fun watching most of the games, but both the semi finals were too one-sided. hope the finals is better! a short trailer of the movie:

about time our medicine postings started, they did from this monday. already we have seen quite a few interesting cases, 2 pleural effusion cases, copd with cor pulmonale, anemia for evaluation. but the most interesting case is about a guy who has diffuse, dull aching, bilateral chest pain since 3 years and breathlessness and bilateral pedal edema since 1 month. he also has cough when he gets breathless, a/w scanty sputum! evening rise of temp. also since a month. to top it all, he says he has diarrhoea since 3 years-hard to believe when he says he dint take any real treatment for it. its a case referred to our hospital(victora) from jayadeva. obg internals was okay. couldnt blog because net connection was down for almost(or more than) a week, first time this has happened with bsnl broadband. at last, bangalore royal challengers won a rare game yesterday, the last 4 overs were scintillating to watch! 3 wins off 12 games, they have moved off the bottom of the table at long last! p.s: th...

Anil Kumble for the bangaloreans to scrape through for a 3 run win, the narrowest of margins yet in the tournament! feeling a little unwell from yesterday morning, have right maxillary sinusitis from what i make of my symptoms and signs! anyway, today i am relaxing, have no plans of studying anything.... am posting this not knowing what to do now, maybe i will watch a movie!

The last 3 days were religious,spiritual,awe-inspiring,fun filled and a little tiring(the journey). my orthopaedics internals had got over on thursday, it had gone okay.... my parents,sister,myself,3 members of a neighborhood family and a friend of father left for om shakthi in tamil nadu, in a toyota qualis, on thursday night. we reached the place on friday morning and visited the temple. had breakfast at a nearby restaurant... went to pondicherry then, lazed around a bit on the beach. left for chidambaram next,was quite a nice place. next stop- karaikal . we lodged there for the night and visited the temple there the next morning,the temple of shri shaneswara the Saturn God. visited the beach there too-this was the fun filled part of the journey, the beach was almost devoid of people(it was almost noon). collected some shells-this is the first time i did this... a bit of splashing in the water and it was time to go again... off to kumbukonam- place of 7 temples -alas all were clo...
