Neocortical Impulses!

i also managed to watch the dark knight in the theaters on tuesday, was a most wonderful movie. my internals had got over on monday and felt like watching a movie.... its the first batman movie i have watched and was very impressed. had listened to the first movie`s summary, given by my friend! i liked the idea of him being a super hero with no supernatural powers, using technology for all he does and is capable of! and the joker, excellent role played by the actor! does our country need a batman to protect us? in the wake of recent events, it sure would feel good to have one!

so much has happened in the past 1 and a 1/2 weeks.... first up, my medicine theory internals went alright i think. its the 2 days before that internals that caught the attention of the whole nation and even the events that keep getting reported in newspapers even now that are gripping the country by fear! i had never imagined that bombs would go off in our beloved bangalore, the always-safe place to be in the country.... i have spent most of my life till now in this calm, peaceful city. it took some time to actually believe that blasts did occur. i had received an sms saying that 4 blasts occurred in the city, stay where you are,dont visit crowded places,etc from a friend and also that this was not a joke. after i read that, i thought it was a joke and as i was at home then ,switched on the tv. lo, behold all the news channels reporting blasts going off one after another till the count reached 9,in one channel, most others reported 8 blasts. by the time i had come to terms with this n...

well, i am sort of taking a break today, from studies that is. not that i have been doing too much of it, but i have to visit my cousins today. for lunch and dinner. their house is near HAL, quite far from my house. so not much chance of coming back quickly and catching up on studies, could not study this morning as i had got up late, had to go for a hair cut(was getting pestered by my mother since 2 weeks), and just felt too lazy to study! i have got to study seriously though, medicine theory internals in 1 weeks time-next Monday. all these power cuts every 1 hour during the evenings and nights are not helping much, quite irritating really! that1s all for now. off to my cousins` house!

yes, blizzard has announced diablo 3, don`t know when it will be released though! this is the first time i am writing about a computer game in my blog. i was a gaming buff in my younger years- in puc and even in 1st year mbbs. would have been even now, had i had more time to spare! i had bought diablo 2 ling back, had liked it so much that i finished the game, single player and online, then bought the expansion pack and finished that too. i downloaded lots of mods for the game and loved them all! and now, blizzard has announced the third installment! no gaming news has ever excited me so much, i read about this in a computer magazine i subscribe to(see, i am still a technology and gizmo buff) and just had to head to the blizzard website . i was pretty impressed, although not much details have been revealed. i dont even know if i will ever play the game- will i? when? but i am excited all the same!!!!!! this is a photo of my diablo 2 game co...

this is a forward i received quite some time ago, when all the fight for reservation,quota... was going on: Hi , I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let's start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC /ST like that. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly. The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC /ST player. The four hit by an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by a OBC player should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be declared as a century. We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player. Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 kilometer per hour to an OBC player. Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal. Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters ...

that`s the postings i have right now. we have had 1 and a 1/2 weeks of it and it has been okay, compared to medicine. like most people say, in medicine, diagnosing itself poses a big challenge whereas in surgery, it`s not so much of a headache. maybe i am saying this because i have liked general medicine all along my course.i liked physiology in 1st year, medicine is like an extension. i had not liked anatomy then, so surgery doesn`t appeal so much to me. also i don`t think i can stand the pain suffered by patients in surgical practice. some of the times, when the PGs are dressing wounds, ulcers in the wards, i can`t bear to look at the faces of those wincing patients or hear their painful cries! anyway, we have seen a few cases till now, them being a diabetic ulcer(i had to help dress it, thankfully, it was painless to him), a carcinoma breast, a hernia, a hydrocoele, a thyroid gland swelling. all these patients were really co-operative and we students have to be really thankful to t...

first of all, belated wishes to all my colleagues- happy doctor`s day! i remembered something yesterday when i was looking at an aquarium.... i was in the 6th standard and very much wanted to have some pet(a dog was my demand) at home, my parents always used to object. on my birthday that year, my maternal uncle, knowing how badly i wanted to keep a pet at home, decided to `present` me with some aquarium fish. the problem was there was no aquarium at home! so i decided to use a large bottle as a temporary haven for these exotic looking fish. a fish bowl was ordered from a nearby pets and aquarium store! to my dismay, the fish started dying one by one, one every day. this happened on 3 successive days and there were only 2 left. i was heartbroken! i could not decipher the reason for the mysterious deaths of my for-some-time-beloved companions! i felt like crying! it was definitely not lack of food, i think i used to feed them excessively(could that be the reason?). it might have been to...
