Neocortical Impulses!

well, it was quite a special day yesterday(4th october), first being, it was my birthday. we were also finshing our paediatrics postings, so it was internals time(yet again)! the internals went alright, i had to take a case of acute diarrhea! we did not have any classes at 12.30, so whiled away my time till 2. after the medicine-neurology class at 2, it was time for some partying!!!! i had to give a treat to my friends and another close friend had to as well, for getting his ICMR project approved and getting a handsome stipend! we went to an ice-cream snacks.... joint and had some fun!!!! a photo from there: by the way, 4th october,1957 was the day the first satellite was launched, sputnik it was....
