the d-day had finally arrived on monday,9th of march,2009. it was going to be my first day as intern! having gotten up earlier than i had in more than a month,i trudged off,full of enthusiasm and a little anxiety, to college to the community medicine department to collect the posting order and arrived at the place well before 9am. but not a single soul was to be seen,other than 2 0r 3 other first day interns like me.... it was well after 10.00 am when someone concerned with our posting order arrived, but it was almost 3.30 pm by the time we got the orders and my first posting was in k.g.halli, a.k.a kadugondanna halli.... not really rural,the place itself is in bangalore but the facilities are pretty rural! in the meantime, i did open an account in the nearby sbi bank where our stipends are sent and we also found time for a long overdue birthday and results treat of a close friend!the food and pricing were both awesome at roti ghar in basavangudi.... the next day was a holiday,but we s...

thats why i have not been blogging, or doing much else for that matter, these few days. i think this is the sickest i have been since i had got pneumonia in 2005. atleast i had a diagnosis then..... it all began last thursday morning with a sore throat...which conveniently disappeared by evening,by when i had developed fever.... i did go to college the next day, but by the time i came back, i had chills to accompany the fever.... had to go to a doctor, who diagnosed it as viral lower respiratory tract infection and was given fever lowering drugs and antibiotics for prophylaxis. but the fever did not subside. after being bedridden and missing college for 3 days, i called up the doc. i was advised blood tests-all of which were normal-no signs of parasites,bacterial infections..... hmmm, the doctor thought it should still be a viral fever, the fever might be taking some time to come down. i thought and hoped soo too. the course of antibiotics were completed yesterday and am feeling a litt...

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....

my recreational activities this week were related to jules verne..... i finished the e-book twenty thousand leagues under the sea on thursday. if i compare it with the other works of verne that i have read-journey to the centre of the earth, around the world in 80 days, this book was too lengthy, too many descriptions of the flora and fauna of the seas! it really gets boring at too many places..... but the story overall, the concept of a submarine, visiting the south pole, discovering the submerged atlantis, make for a worthwhile read. especially when you consider that all this was written way back in the 1800s.... the highlight of the book is the part where they get trapped while returning from the south pole and how Captain Nemo,`the emotionless` and the crew and passengers aboard the Nautilius handle the situation. fantastic read overall! the other activity realted to verne is :i watched the movie journey to the center of the earth on wednesday. i had read the book some 2 years ago,...

seems like the cute little sparrows are making a comeback! the last i had seen them was when i was around 10 years old, near my granny`s house. i used to love these birds, they were tiny,cute,playful, some of them even used to taunt the dog that was there in my granny`s house. what fun it was to watch them. all of a sudden, i couldn`t spot a single member of this species, it was like extinction happening right in front of my eyes! 12 years later, i spotted a few sparrows in the most unlikeliest locations! last week, i saw quite a number of them in the K.R Market bus stand! also, some were seen hovering near the entrance of Victoria Hospital! are they making a comeback? hope so! welcome back you cute little passerines!
