A cow was kept for viva:

Premed student- its a cow!
Medical student- Perhaps this is a cow!
After MBBS- This may b a cow or a hypopigmented buffalo!
MD/MS- This may be a hypertrophied goat or an atrophied elephant with congenital anomalies

Keeping a cool head..

My biggest ambition these days is to get through each day with peace of mind, and to move peacefully from one task to another with focused attention and a quiet, calm energy.

Anger and impatience wear on our hearts, minds and our families. When we take control of our emotions rather than letting them drive our thoughts - we function better, communicate better and our life becomes more purposeful and productive.

At times, simple things appear too complex and complicated..until we really see them as they are. Once we take control over such situations, its all ours! But its not that simple..Getting control takes a lot of calmness which would allow you to see things in appropriate ways they deserve. When you lose your mind over such situations and let the emotions take control...it all becomes too hectic and eventually result in a mess..!

I was growing worried when I couldn’t handle such situations..when my days get ruined by the so called complex problems and people. But then I realised that it takes a lot of experience, practice and more importantly – a deep wish to work on such behaviour..

So people….just chillax and have a cool day! :)

Urine therapy..!?

2011-04-11T14:36:00.001+05:30

I was lounging at ehow.com and happened to come across an article about ‘remedies for skin discoloration’. One of the remedy they recommend is none other than urine! Was really surprised to read it.

They say, that urine can balance out the skin quickly, and can fade skin discolorations rapidly. And, we are supposed to use first urine sample taken in the morning, as it is the most concentrated and most effective.

Here’s the extract from the article about the directions for use-

“Soak a cotton pad in urine, then apply it to the skin discoloration. You can lay the pad onto the skin, leaving it there for up to 15 minutes, or use the urine as a toner. Repeat this up to three times per day to remove skin discolorations.”

You can find the article here: http://www.ehow.com/way_5255279_remedies-skin-discoloration.html

As much as I know, urine is a skin irritant. Urine in the bladder is sterile indeed. But it becomes contaminated on its passage out, by the normal flora present in lower urethra, skin around urethral orifice and external genitalia. So by the time we collect urine sample, it already contains bacteria. Therefore, I’m not sure about this sterile urine thing.

Anyways, if anyone ever try this urine therapy for your skin, please let me know about the results..:)

Today is the big day..The most anticipated final match of Cricket world cup 2011 – India Vs Sri Lanka. Its the first WC final with all Asian teams.

I'm on SL’s side today. they’ve made it to the finals 2 times in a row. But as Sanga already said- Its the cup that matters..!

Eagerly waiting to see who claims the cup. Meanwhile, here’s a quick view on the WC final and the hype surrounding it.

Indian medias always make such a big hype about cricket. And the Indians are never allowed to forget that they must win the cup, at least for the master blaster Sachin. *I always enjoy the little master’s class act batting , regardless of which side I'm on. Its such a treat to watch him smash the balls.*

Some attention seeking dimwit model named Poonam Pandey even promises to bare it all for India.She pictures it as a heroic sacrifice, and says she is a new generation girl who’d do anything to bring the WC home..*So girls, if you are from the new generation, you should all get naked* :P.

*Honestly, I don’t know how this could help India win. *

Besides, she has already shown 99% of her skin on kingfisher calendars. So after all its just 1% that’s left to sacrifice..:P

Indian cricket fans are always at one extreme or the other. They worship the players as idols if they win. But if India loses a match its a totally different story - They take it too personally and go and smash down and burn anything that has got the player’s name on.I don't know whether this much hype is good or bad for the team. It could work either way.

Sri Lankan cricket is quite different. Here the fans are as much passionate about cricket as Indians but they are very much balanced. At least nobody here bares it all for cricket victory :) Cricketers are hailed as heroes, but not as Gods. Cricket is our passion, but not our life.

If SL wins, they celebrate with as much vigor as any other nation, and they accept the defeats without much fuss.. The players are criticized if they fail to perform well. But surely they won’t be sentenced to death. :) Whether its a good thing or not, I don’t know .:P

So, Who will be the champions today? Dark blue or Light blue ? :)

UPDATE -

Finally the light blue won..Indians have finally got their wish. Word champions 2011.

Sri Lankans tried..But the better team won. Well done India..!

Sachin got his farewell gift..He finally got to hold the WC..Looks like he'll never put that down..:)

I’m lovin’ it..

2011-03-19T10:49:00.001+05:30

Woke up to a beautiful morning. Its just perfect weather outside..Sky looks like it couldn’t make up its mood..Right now its somewhere between a heavy shower and a beautiful sunshine..Dark grey clouds are everywhere..and teeny tiny dark blue pieces of sky are sneaking from behind. The horizon is streaked with a beautiful tinge of yellowish orange.

I can feel the cool breeze and the occasional rain drops caress my face as I sit next to an open window..It just so beautiful that i wanna sit here all day watching the scene..:)

I tried capturing the scene in my cam..It didn't come out well though..Anyways, pictures and words could hardly justify the real beauty..

It’s 2011..

2011-01-01T19:57:00.001+05:30

01-01-11…! New year has begun..Hope this year brings joy, peace and success to everyone…:)

Wish you all a very happy and prosperous 2011..Have a great year ahead..xXx

This and that and a little something !

2010-12-27T15:33:00.001+05:30

2011 is just 4 days away..and it feels like this year has passed in a blink. Ahh..well I always feel like that when something is coming to an end :)

I haven’t been around in blogs ville this year. Made only 1 post without counting this... Feeling like a stranger in my own space. Well..I didn't stay away on purpose. I just didn't feel like writing anything… May be i was running out of ideas and topics.. May be I was too busy with my nose buried in ‘bailey and love’..Or maybe it was just me being too lazy.. *typical* ;)

With only 4 days left to say adieu to 2010, I felt like a post is long overdue here..I had no idea about what I was going to write. Nevertheless I just started typing randomly and then..I realized, all of a sudden, how much I missed this place...All this time I thought I’ve lost my passion for writing..! I think I should put more effort into blogging..Or maybe I should take care of my time management issues first..!

This Christmas had been really wet, cold and freezing as ever..But not even the heavy rains could dampen the festive spirit..Hope everyone enjoyed the Christmas..For me, the 1 week break for Christmas had been the highlight. :)

Well anyway..This year had been a really busy one..And, the next year is going to be even busier. Just finished the 2nd medicine appointment..and now so looking forward to start my 2nd surgical appointment…I know its going to be tough , hectic and everything..But still I’m sure I’ll enjoy it ! :)

That's enough for one post..Now I should probably get back to revising for the exams…

Cheers everyone..! Wishing you all a very bright 2011..!

A wedding is coming!
Come celebrate
With the groom and the bride.

I’m dedicating this post to my first ever blogger friend – The ultimate Hemz bond! Thanks to my dear friend Saranya, through whom I got his acquaintance.

Hemanth, the most eligible bachelor got engaged to the luckiest girl – Lakshmi on the 23rd of this month.. And they are getting married on August 12th.

Wishing you both a happy marriage
and hoping that your
life together will be rich
in joy and love…

Before getting to know hemz, I never believed in the virtual world friendship..I didn't understand how unknown people could get closer through internet..But hemz taught me how..he proved me that even in virtual world, you can find a true friend..

But I must say true friends like him are very hard to find.. I’m so lucky to have stumbled upon such a sweet person.

He always wishes happiness and luck for everyone..So I’m sure he himself will get all the happiness and luck in the world. Good luck hemz..Have a jolly good married life..:))

Here is a wedding toast to hemz and lakshmi..

May they find in each other
the perfect partner for life's adventure..
May their marriage be filled with happiness
exceeding their wildest dreams…
May they see again each and every day…
all the qualities in the other
that made them fall in love and marry….
And may they always be grateful…
for life's greatest gift--
a marriage based on true love….
May your true love give both of you
joy, and peace, and satisfaction…..

Once again hemz, My hearty wishes for your wedded life. These are important days of your life..Enjoy the fullest..!!

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage. ~ Martin Luther

Negligence and insomnia..

2009-07-04T13:21:00.001+05:30

I’ve been such a big procrastinator…so that now I’m struggling to finish my revision in time before the exams..Already feeling overworked and exhausted..Every time I find myself in such a situation, I resolve that I would never ever leave my works till the last minute…But again..alas..I neglect my resolution..postpone things….and struggle with work load in the last minute and suffer with insomnia. Nowadays my brain is so full of physiology and pathology…and its buzzing all the time.. so that I’ve become an insomniac. :(

Well anyway, I hadn’t been much around in blogs Ville for weeks now..That's because I moved to a new place and it took so long for the telecom people to move my telephone line and ADSL. They couldn't find a loop nearby my house. By the time they managed to give me the ADSL connection, I was on the verge of getting drowned by my studies..

I haven't read any of your blogs lately…I’m so sorry friends..I’ll catch up with allll your posts soon. As for now, I have to finish revising for my semi exams which are scheduled next week and for my phase1 exams which will begin in August 1st week.

Here is a nice video about procrastination. Its funny..but very true :)

Have a nice week end..!

Is this really the END..?

2009-05-20T10:08:00.001+05:30

I thought a long time about whether or not I was going to comment on any of this.. In the end I decided that I should speak my mind..I should speak about what’s really happening around me in my country..

The Srilankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa declared yesterday,in the parliment, Victory in the country’s 30year civil war against LTTE.. Today has been declared as a public holiday over the nation to celebrate the victory.

Following are a few quotes from the president’s speech-

"We have won and restored democracy in the country."

"a new country ... a new nation,"

"the defeat of Tamil terrorism ... a victory for the Tamil people."

Also the Sri Lankan military has released pictures of Tamil Tiger leader Velupillai Prabhakaran which it says prove conclusively that he is dead. There were too many contradictory announcements by the Army, which aroused many doubts over the reliability of the news. The BBC says- “ The government argues that there are perfectly innocent explanations for the differing accounts of Prabhakaran's death - that in war time what is happening on the battlefront can sometimes get confused.”

Now..Is this really the END? has the war really come to an END? Is the suffering of Tamils over yet? Does this mean an end to the conflict in SL?

My answer is “NO”.

The Srilankans are dancing in the streets, firing fire crackers, playing bands and songs, burning models of prabhakaran, and so on..They are celebrating. Not all the Srilankans are celebrating though. I mean, what is there to celebrate really? This war has brought nothing but loss and death on both sides. So many innocent Singhalese and Tamils have lost their lives. Suicide bombings and Artillery attacks!! The nation is floating in a river of blood and violence. This war turned out nothing but a terrible genocide.

Recently I had the opportunity to interact with the Tamil casualties brought by ship from the war zone to Trinco. They said that they had been held back by the tigers in the war zone as human shields…They blame tigers for many deaths. Anyway, were they relieved to have escaped from there? No they were still worried..if possible, more than before..They were worried about the Army ..They were all considered by the army as LTTE..Even a small baby with amputated limbs..!! They don’t feel safe anywhere. Why they are condemned to feel insecure in their own mother nation?

What is the future of these people? They have suffered severely in this devastating war..They suffered loss because of both the tigers and the SL army. Nobody cared for their lives. Now they are left with nothing but despair. They have no hope about their future. It worries me to think what’s next?

Although the nation is celebrating the Victory, the suffering of the Tamils is far from over.

Here are some incidents which show how the future is going to be -

**As soon as the news of victory reached the nation, the Singhalese people started to threaten the innocent Tamils who live among them. I was in Colombo when this news reached the public. Me and my brother were walking out from KFC, and there was a group of Tamil boys walking before us with handful of chocolates. Then there came a group of boys, apparently Singhalese, in a van, playing loud Singhalese song. One of the boys in the van opened the van door and kicked the boys walking before us & laughed as they fell down. Then they screamed some very rude words at us and drove away. I was SHOCKED! I never expected this. That was just an example of what’s happening here now.

**All over the nation, those who don’t have a National Flag flying out in their houses or workplaces are being brutally attacked. I’m now back in Batticaloa and here they are handing out National flags in the streets and ordering people to hoist them at their houses. I ask you, Is this what you call ‘democracy’? Is this what you call as the ‘Victory’?

Now there are more than 300000 internally displaced people in the Vavuniya camps. No international media or international help workers are allowed in there. Nobody knows what’s going to happen to those people..What's their future?

War cannot bring peace. No way. Even though the so called civil war may seem to have come to an end, it really is not. As long as the Tamils and Singhalese don't learn to live together, as long as they consider each other as a threat, as long as the Tamils are deprived of their right to live in this nation, this war will never come to an end.

Unless the Tamils and Singhalese learn to share and live together, so many Prabhakaran’s will rise..&.the war will continue…Unless the Tamils & Singhalese understand that they are children of same land and therefore siblings, they will continue to hurt and kill each other…more innocent lives will be lost..

Why are the Tamils considered as invaders in their own mother land? Why do we need to separate the land? Why can’t we all live together in a united SriLanka? Why can’t we love each other and live in harmony? Why is it so hard to LOVE??? Why is it so hard to bring PEACE??

The nation which worships Buddha and his teachings is covered in blood now..His teachings lay forgotten..Only the God knows the answers..He only know whether this nation will ever get rid of its blood stains and enmity.

Long Hot Summer & the desert island question

2009-05-17T23:20:00.001+05:30

Finally it is raining here..Not so heavy ..just little drizzles..But it feels wonderful to have cooler climate for a change.. The temperature had been so high for many weeks now..always around 32 degree C. It was like sitting in an oven the whole time..The sun was so hot and burning…Imagine having to go out in this weather!!!

It is so hot even in the mornings and the nights are even hotter. No need to use water heater in the morning , coz the tank water is always sooo hot . So instead, you definitely need a water cooler in the bathroom to prevent getting burned up by the hot hot water!

The worst part of it is that 2 days ago, we had a power cut in the night which lasted for about 3 hours!! 3 looong hotttt darkk hours..Omg! I thought I would die coz of the intense humidity and heat.

Thank goodness..I survived that heat & humidity and I’m still alive..!!

Anyhoodle…this recent ordeal without electricity left me thinking about things that really matter nowadays.. Comforts and luxuries that have become part of our lives that we consider them as essentials..

So I decided to make my own list of must haves, say if I were stranded on a desert island. (I got this idea after reading Tia’s list of must-haves..) what would I really NEED to survive? What could I never live without? And if these items were narrowed down to a choice of only five, what would I choose to have?

Here we go-

1. My laptop..Now really..how am I supposed to survive without it? How else could I check my mails, Write this blog, keep in touch with friends..etc? How?? *Well I’m assuming here that I’ll have wi-fi on this desert island ;) *

2. Insect killer spray!! *You know..I’m very much scared of insects, esp- roaches..and from what I’ve seen in discovery and animal planet, the deserts house many of those insects..Can’t imagine myself staying anywhere without an insect killer*

3. Edward Cullen..:)) *Hoping Bella doesn’t get to know about this* He is the best companion for a girl in a desert island.

Coz he sparkles in the sun, thus attracting passing planes and boosting chances of rescue…. he's cold-skinned so he would be able to keep you cool in even the hottest of tropical temperatures; AND he adds beauty to the surrounding scenery :))

4. Mc-Donald's restaurant *C’mon..I need to eat and drink..So why shouldn’t it be my favourite?* As this is MY desert island list, I feel as though I'm entitled to bring whatever I want…hehe:) 5. A luxury cottage..*Duh..I can’t always hang around in sun..Too much sun is not good for skin..and I need somewhere to charge my laptop..Besides..this is MY list, remember? ;)).. * And, dont worry about Edward, He can share with me ;)) :P

Well..that’s my desert island list. What is yours?? :)

Have a great week everyone!!

The new Vodafone ads..!

2009-05-08T17:35:00.002+05:30

I love the new Vodafone ads shown between IPL matches. Those are so simple and appealing. The creativity amazes me..

Here are a few of those..:)

Its Vesak Full moon Poya day here. So I’m enjoying my time at home.

Have a Happy Weekend everyone..! :)

Tag!

2009-04-27T09:04:00.002+05:30

I’ve been tagged by Saranya and I should write 25 random things about me. Thanks Sanu!

"Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about YOU. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you."

Ok, lets get this done-

I tend to be very possessive and protective of the ones I love and care about. But I’m very poor at expressing my love and care.
I hate that people judge me before they get to know me. *Don’t judge people based on pre-conceived perceptions or rumors, judge them by the interactions you’ve actually had.*
I am terrible at ‘grown-up’ stuff. Really unorganized with bills, receipts and stuff. *This is what happens when you always live under the protective wings of your parents, not bothering to see how things are done *
I love dogs..all of them. I even talk to them like I talk to people, which many of my friends find as a weird habit. *I dunno..I think dogs are better companions than people, to share with..*
I’m extremely scared of cockroaches. They freak me out, no matter small or big. * I HATE them!!!* I must say, I’m afraid of alllllll sorts of insects of all sizes. But cockroaches always deserve the top spot.
I often drop my mobiles accidently, though I’m not that accident-prone with other things.Its just the mobiles. *No believe me, those are ‘really’ accidents..not ‘planned’ throws , so that dad will get me new mobile.*
I’m a shopaholic!! *Now.. really, its coz of my dad..! Bless him… he always buys me whatever I like, even before I could ask him*
The only non-vegetarian food I eat is anything prepared with chicken meat or chicken egg..
I once got lost in Singapore airport when I was 5. *And that’s bcz I decided to wander off to the duty-free shops, unnoticed by anyone while mom & dad were engaged in a conversation with their cousin whom they’ve met after many years*
I enjoy watching ghost movies and horror movies, sitting alone in the midnight.
I’m verrry bad in punctuality. Always get late for everything. Such a poor time-management.
I hate reading maps...
I still have trouble in reversing my car without the aid of reversing detectors..I always rely on those detectors.
I didn’t talk with my mom and didn’t eat anything for a whole week coz she scolded our puppy for peeing in the living room * I mean, he was just a ‘baby’..well anyway, I wasn’t a baby though- I was 18 then..*
I don’t know how to swim yet..I’m so keen to learn soon.
I HATE talking on the phone . Don’t even like ordering pizza through the phone..:)). Anyhoodle..I’m bit better now, coz I can talk long enough to order food :))
I don’t like to read e-books or e-papers.
I enjoy going through our old photo albums again and again.
I want everything around me to be well organized, clean and neat. Otherwise, I find it very hard to concentrate on my work. *I could never concentrate on my studies in the library,Unless the books on my table are neatly arranged..So I always arrange my whole library table before getting to read..:) and so ‘coz of this I rarely read in the library*
I have a collection of all the greeting cards I’ve ever received from my friends and family.
I sing only when there’s nobody around :))
When I was in grade 5, I got an award in our school sports meet for ‘long jump’, in which I never took part..!! I was confused to hear my name announced..but my house captain made me to go and get the prize.
When I was a kid I learnt Bharatanatyam (Type of classic dance) for 5 years and did many stage and tv performances..But never had the guts to take any grade exams on it.
I still don’t know how to make a tea or coffee.
I don’t use any kind of shoulder bags or hand bags..But I buy loads of them :)

I’m done!! At last.

I’m not going to tag anyone in particular..Coz almost everyone has done this before me..So anyone interested can take this up..:)

Happy monday, everyone *Now please don’t throw things at me ;))*

Have a great week!!

Awards Time..!

2009-04-22T17:16:00.003+05:30

I’ve been honored with some awards recently. I was bit late (as always) on grabbing them though :)

My first ever award in blogsville is from Pratap – The Honest Scrap Award!

Thanks a lot pratap..:)

My 2nd award is from Hemanth & Saranya.. They’ve both given me The Cute’s blogger award. Thanks a lot buddies :)

And..there’s another award which I almost failed to bag! That’s the Online friends award from Priya Joyce. Thanks a lot PJ. And thanx again for reminding me of the award :)

Now I pass on these awards to all my blogsville friends and to all those whose blogs I read regularly.

A quick update..

2009-03-21T20:12:00.002+05:30

I haven't been around here much lately. It’s now more than a month since I last posted anything here..I got lost among my studies..I let the works overpower me..I couldn't find any time to wander around here. But Its no excuse of course. I could have found time if I had wanted to. I’m so bad with time management so that I find 24 hours per day is not enough!

Well anyway..I’ve been feeling a bit low for a while . Don't know why exactly. Might be my workload, Homesick..or anything else.I’ve been so lousy that I didn’t read any blogs lately. I’ll catch up with everyone’s posts soon.

So here is a quick update of what I had been up to since my last post-

*I went home a week after my last post..and stayed there for a week! Yeyy!! Had a pretty good week there. I made some faluda and pudding! *Yeah I know it sounds a bit unreal*. But it is true.

My first time in kitchen- turned out pretty good. Only my mom had any trouble with it- She was worried that I might burn something . So she had been tottering around in kitchen while I was working there :P

Here are few pictures of the results of my 1st kitchen trial-

Apple Moss Pudding

*I’ve spilled the apple cream I made :( So I decorated it with real apples instead! :) *

Faluda

Same Faluda :P

* Then , now I’m back in batti. Once again immersed in my studies. My phase 1 examinations are looming close (scheduled for July).

* I’ve got a tag to do. Courtesy- Saranya ;)

*I’ve cut my hair. Little above waist length. *Anyhoodle, it is growing back pretty quickly*

*I’ve managed to watch some movies – Outlander, City of Ember, Yes Man, Slumdog Millionaire, Pan’s Labyrinth, Beverly hills Chiwawa, Unborn, confessions of a shopaholic, and Marley and Me.

Apart from all this, life is getting on annoyingly usual..I’m pretty bored..

Have a Great week ahead everyone!

And...Another semester swings in..!

2009-02-14T09:36:00.005+05:30

Heyya everyone! It feels good to be back in blogsville after 2 weeks. As you all know, I was freaking out with my semester exams..Since exams ended last Thursday (12th), I'm bit relieved now...

I said 'bit' relieved . Coz there's no time to relax. New semester has already begun. They started off the lectures for the new semester on the very next day after the exams. Not a single day to celebrate the end of exams! *Sighs* According to our semester plan and schedules, we should have got about 5 days of freedom before we burry ourselves in the books once again. But NO! NOT a single day of relief. They have canceled the leave.

I've been looking forward for those holidays so much. For one thing, I wanted to relax a bit and get some good sleep. But most importantly, i was looking forward to go home. I haven't been there since last October and I so badly wanted to see my mom :(. I miss her so much. And, its my most beloved grandpa's B'day on Monday- 16th Feb. I wanted to be with him on 16th...

It was all those happy prospects which kept me going...But on the last day of our exams..just before we did our last module they put up the new semester schedule along with a notice which announced that all our holidays have been canceled.My spirits sank so low after seeing that notice so that I could hardly concentrate on my last paper..

They are planning to finish about 3 modules in 2 weeks and then give us a week leave to study those and...exams again!! *Is it like this in all medical schools??!!*

Well, there is no point worrying. I need to gear up for another semester...Time to get going !! :)

The time when I least like myself..

2009-01-31T10:12:00.008+05:30

My semi exams are looming so close. Exams will start on 5th. They put up the exam schedule this Friday. I feel lost. I feel like as if I'm in the middle of nowhere. I haven't finished studying. I don't think I can finish revising all before the exams. On top of this, we have lectures until 4th..Not a single damn day of study leave. This time we are having all the Neuro modules and..ohhh..I don't know what I'm going to do.

This is the thing about med school I think.. you can never know everything. Maybe It's planned to prevent that. You can only hope you know enough of the right things and have the balls to go in and take the test anyway..Or maybe its just me feeling this way!

I've been bit confident about some modules ..But now when I tried to go through them quickly..I feel like I don't remember anything...My self esteem is very low now..Its going down with every time I try to remember something and I couldn't ...and It'll be lowest just before the exam..and that's the time I least like myself - those 24 hours preceding the exams!

I wont be around here much till my exams are over. So everyone please excuse me for not being regular with posts or comments on your blogs...I'll catch up with ya all soon after the exams.

Happy Birthday Shash..

2009-01-21T18:48:00.001+05:30

Today my best friend Shasankan is celebrating his 22nd B'day. This post is dedicated to that wonderful friend who makes my days bright.

What does he mean to me ?

He is...Someone who shares everything with me..someone who cares for me like my parents do..Someone who stands by my side all the time.. Someone who trusts me with his life..Someone who encourages me and helps me deal with problems and worries...Someone who understands me more than I do.. and so ..He is someone who is in the heart of my life...

I wish we stay the same always..

We definitely share mutual knowledge,
That wasn’t taught in any college.
Whenever, we are in dire need,
You stand by me, and our friendship creed.

Each others company, always invite,
Endless conversations; truly delight.
Deeds and actions altruistic,
Vision and hope; optimistic.

Similar tastes, surely converge,
Effort and patience, friendships emerge.
Limitless gratitude for what we share,
Today is your birthday, I am aware.

How many years have you turned?
With age by your side, what have you learned?
In the end, just want you to know,
As we age, our friendship will grow.

HAPPY B'DAY DEAR SHASH.

I couldn't do this post earlier coz my ADSL line was down yesterday..Just now came back to normal. Well anyways..better late than never.. ;)

Rapunzel Rapunzel! Let down thy hair!

2009-01-15T09:01:00.007+05:30

Someone is all set to become a modern day Rapunzel very soon. Yes its me! And trust me, I'm not so happy about it.

I happen to have very long , thick, black wavy hair. I love my hair of course..But now its getting bit too long and I find it very hard to manage it on my own. I regret having such thick hair only when I find myself having to comb and put all this in a plait when I'm nearly late for the lectures.

I get a hair cut once in every 2 months or so. When I say hair cut, it actually means hair trimming or reshaping it and shortening it up to my waist length. But it grows again too fast and catches up with my mid thigh level before I could trim it again. Just like magic! Cutting it up to my shoulder level should solve this problem. Its not just that..I also love to iron my hair like many other girls :)..But there are two things which impede in carrying out this solution. Firstly, my mom and then -My mind itself! Mom doesn't approve of cutting my hair too short nor ironing. But I know she would allow me to do so, at least reluctantly - only if I could persuade her more. But I find it hard to do that because somewhere in the corner of my mind I'm happy with this hair... Such contradictions..! I'm getting tired of such contradictions of my own mind! *Of course girls minds work in mysterious ways..!*

I asked my friends for some opinion which would help me to make up my mind and decide. My friends say I've got gorgeous hair and so not to ruin it. Still some of them say It'll look more lovely if I cut it and iron it. *Thank U..It really helped..I'm more confused now :P.*

During last Christmas holidays I pleaded with my mom so much so that at last she granted permission to do temporary ironing but made me promise to her that I wont cut it too short after ironing. Well, I tried ironing and it was a disaster! My thigh length hair became knee length.. It attracted so many eyes on the streets and shopping malls and I received so many requests to divulge my secret of charming hair *Rolls eyes* I hate it when people stare.. Well anyway I've learned my lesson- Not to iron my hair again without cutting it short :).

Well..In short - I'm now in a kind of dilemma..Torn between the wish to have a new 'easy to manage' hair and a desire to keep my 'hard to manage but lovely to look at' hair. As for now..Until I change my mind again.. I guess I'll have to stand on the top of a tower, put my hair down through a window and wait for my Prince charming :D

I've been Tagged!

2009-01-11T13:36:00.002+05:30

Another Tag..I've been tagged by Brocasarea, Hemanth and Saranya..Thanks everyone.. I've done it at last!!

Have a Blessed Christmas..

2008-12-25T07:55:00.009+05:30

Its Christmas already.. I came back from home yesterday morning.

I had a great time in Colombo. Did lots of Shopping, visited my friends and been to movies. Had great fun! Didn't study anything at all though :(

Yesterday hadn't been a good day for me altogether..Had a pretty tough day. Firstly, the train which I traveled collided with an elephant on the way! Luckily for us, the train didn't derail from the tract. But very unfortunately the elephant died in the spot. It was a huge one. We were in the middle of a forest line and we had to wait many hours before the railway people turned up , moved the elephant out of the tract and repaired the railings. The accident happened at 1am in the morning and we were able to move again only at 5.30 am - More than 4 hours delay..On top of this, I'm having a bad head cold and fever since y'day. Maybe its because I traveled in an A/C compartment on a very frosty night. I feel bit better today, and hope I'll be fine soon.

Well its Christmas today..I'm sure this day will be better than the one I left behind. Hope everyone is having a nice time.

These are some snaps I clicked away in a shopping mall l. I liked the decorations. (Pictures are not much clear as I took them with my mob :P Last one is blurred..I took it while on move. :) )

Merry Christmas Everyone..!

Joining in the Holiday spirit..!

2008-12-19T21:11:00.002+05:30

Holidays at last..! Just 1 week though..:( *sigh*. Well still its holiday..!! :) I'll be able to get up anytime I want and do anything I want...at least for a few days..Yey! Isn't that wonderful..? *Whoops*

I know I shouldn't be feeling too relaxed as my exams are looming nearer and I'm supposed to be revising during these days..But..all the same- I couldn't help feeling elated and relaxed. Well, I'm not going to study anything today, at the very least :). I've spent the whole evening listening to my precious Harry potter Audio book (Currently 6th one - Half blood Prince) I'm mad about Harry and I've read the whole series more than 20 times..Nowadays I don't get much time to sit relaxing with HP and read..so I listen to the audio books instead, while I'm eating, driving, washing, etc..Audio books are good but still..there's nothing better than reading a book yourself..Yep, I prefer reading myself.

Christmas celebrations have begun already..Though the celebrations and preparations are bit quieter than usual. Or perhaps its just me imagining like that.

Another Christmas & another year ahead of us..I don't think the world has changed much except for the outbreak of few more wars and spread of poverty and sufferings..Even as you're reading this.. many people are suffering, killed or being deprived of food and shelter..in my mother land as well as in many parts of the world..There are many children around the world who doesn't even get the Christmas scent in the air.. As I think of it, I realize how very fortunate and blessed I am..If there's anything I wish for this Christmas, it is Peace and Love for everyone in the world.

I love this song by Late Singer Melanie Thornton -"Wonderful dream of Peace and love for everyone..." I love the lyrics and music.. One of my favorite Christmas season songs..

I wish this dream comes true someday..:)

I'm going home to Colombo tomorrow morning. I'm not going to stay there for long though. Planning to get back here on Wednesday and revise at least for 3 days.. Mom and Dad are not happy about me getting back early. They feel that I ought to stay till college reopens....Typical.. ;)

So Until I get back..BYE everyone..Have a great week end, Happy Holidays and Advanced Christmas wishes to alllll...:)

Another Rainy day..

2008-12-17T16:35:00.009+05:30

Its raining again today..Well actually it has been raining ever since October.. I didn't get a glimpse of clear blue sky since then..The constant pitter patter on the windows.. and I haven't been properly dry for a long now..always looking as if I had been drowned ..Ohh..grrrr..I hate it..I wish this would be over soon.. We're frequently getting cyclone warnings as well..Thankfully, cyclone didnt turn up..

Its not as though I always hate rain..I lovvve it as long as I'm well inside my house, dry, warm and all..It feels like heaven when I sit relaxed with a hot cup of coffee in one hand and a book in the other, hearing the rain splashing against my windows..I even like getting bit wet in drizzling rain..But to get drenched in heavy rain for this loooong..Gosh..!! its too bad...I'm soaked to the skin.

I go to bed every day wishing that It'd stop raining in the morning..But never had that wish come true. It doesn't even dawn properly these days..Always dark..I hate to get off my bed, have a chilling bath, get dressed and go to university in this down pour..hmm but no choice.

On top of this, my university life is getting harder each day..Loads of work..I'm having to submit at least an assignment every week. Neuro lectures are driving me mad..The lectures are going on in a top speed and I'm having to to read it all up before every other lecture. To add to the list of worries, exams are looming nearer..and I feel as if I'm lagging behind in every module..I'm desperate to get a break..and eagerly looking forward for the Christmas holidays which would be on next week..

Below are the snaps which I took with my mob , back in October, when we last had a clear blue sky....Now all I could do is just to look at them and wish this rain to stop..

PS: Thank you so much for my friend hemanth who made a sweet post on my B'day this November.. :)

So My Advanced Diwali wishes to all my blogsville friends..Have a great Diwali all.. :)

My new 'Laser' eyes..

2008-10-15T18:09:00.006+05:30

I'm back with my new 'lasik' eyes.. Thanks a lot to everyone who wished me luck for the surgery.. It all went fine.

I was a bit tensed when I presented myself at the hospital half an hour before my scheduled time. I was the first to go and I was the first on the surgery list as well. Soon after, an elderly British couple joined us. As we were waiting we had a nice long chat and I came to know that the English lady has already done the laser surgery months ago and now her husband was about to do the surgery as well. She told me that there is nothing to be scared of and the surgery would be very simple. That really helped to raise my spirits a bit.

But..Gosh..! the surgery wasn't that easy at all..! The surgery was done under local anesthesia..they just put anesthetic drops into the eyes, and that's all. The prob is that you have to witness the whole surgical procedures on your eyes with the same eyes and you cant even blink or move your eye balls..Ohhh..that was verrry uneasy to me. They placed a glass shield like rim between the eyelids so that I wouldn't be able to blink... I felt really uncomfortable as I watched the surgeon cut a flap in my cornea and all the rest of it..I wont say it was painful..but really that was some uneasiness beyond words..Sometimes I thought I felt pain, but I might have imagined it..I don't know.

My right eye was done first and as I lied down there waiting for the surgeon to start the next eye, I felt really scared this time..because I knew what was coming..That made the second surgery even worse..But it seemed to finish a bit quicker than the first one..

After the surgery, they just told me to wear the sun glasses and wait for sometime. Then after a while they checked my eyes again , said I'm perfectly okay, and I shall go home for the night. They told me to come for a check up on the following afternoon. Before I left the hospital that English lady told me to be prepared for a tough night. How very correct she was..!. That was the worst night in my life. I felt like as if thousands of knives were inside my eyes and I couldn't even fully open my eyes. My vision was all blurred and wet. I felt terrible.

When I woke up next morning, it was all fine, except that my eyes felt a bit heavy and sticky..But otherwise my eyes felt like new. My vision was damn clear!!. I was so happy that I instantly forgot the previous day's pain.. The surgeon checked my vision and said Its all very fine. As I was told, my eyes are very dry now and I have to follow up the drops to avoid eye ulcers. Now the post operative follow up is the tricky part.. I'm having to apply 3 different drops every 4 hours, avoid getting into dusty areas and also having to wear the cooling glasses whenever I go outdoors. Also I have to be careful enough not to rub my eyes. Well..so far so good and I'm now back to my routine life which is full of lectures, books, hospital..and all..

Hope my laser eyes will keep up with all those strains..:)

PS:

For those who dont't know, here is a brief explanation of how the surgery is done -

In LASIK eye surgery, laser is used to create a thin, circular flap in the cornea. . The surgeon folds the flap back out of the way, then removes some corneal tissue underneath using a laser. The laser uses a cool ultraviolet light beam to precisely remove very tiny bits of tissue from the cornea to reshape it. When the cornea is reshaped in the right way, it works better to focus light into the eye and onto the retina, providing clearer vision than before. The flap is then laid back in place, covering the area where the corneal tissue was removed.

LASIK..!!

2008-10-10T22:32:00.005+05:30

LASIK- that's the acronym for laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis. More simply -Its an eye surgery done with Laser rays to correct the refractive error. And guess what...I'm going to do that Lasik thing for my eyes tomorrow evening. My left eye power is -2.5 and my right eye is -0.5. Few months before only I found out that I have this problem in my left eye. Started so suddenly actually. Ever since, I've consulted many eye surgeons and all of them said nothing to worry and to wear glasses. I tried to do so even though I hated wearing glasses. But wearing glasses brought me headaches. So..I ~~sometimes~~ rarely wear glasses during lectures and thats all..It again resulted in recurrent headaches. I also felt as if my vision was getting worse each day. . I've never liked contact lenses as I've always had an idea that it would be painful and time-consuming.

Recently my Dad came to know about this laser treatment which would bring back my normal vision without glasses, and he kept insisting that I should do that..So, finally I agreed to that. Actually I agreed to that rather enthusiastically but now that I'm very close to doing it, I feel a bit scared..

I'll be leaving to colombo tomorrow early morning. My surgery is due at 5pm tomorrow.

I'll catch up with you all after I come back. Hopefully I'll be back here on Monday.. Until then - Bye everyone. See you all with my new LASIK eyes.. :)

The following are lovely pictures from Hemanth..Thanks a lot buddy :)

Lonely Navaratri..

2008-10-08T21:24:00.009+05:30

Today is the last day of Navaratri and tomorrow is vijayathasami. For those who dont know - Saraswati pooja is celebrated on the 9th day of navaratri, for Goddess Saraswati (the presiding deity of the spoken word).

This year I couldnt go home for saraswati pooja due to my heavy schedule. This is the first time I ever missed a saraswati pooja at home. Some of my batchmates cut the lectures and went home of course. But I didnt feel like missing the lectures and so decided to stay despite my mom's persuation to come home. Well it wasnt easy to decide to stay...It took me looongg to decide on this issue and now I regret my decision. Because the lectures were cancelled yesterday and today and I'm stuck here on my own for absolutely nothing. Alone in my room...missing my home, family and pooja..I just wish I had gone home...

A month at hospital..

2008-10-01T20:41:00.014+05:30

This post was long overdue. I drafted this post days ago but haven't published it . Just now had the time to read, edit and publish it.

Well..I can hardly believe that a month has already elapsed since I started my basic clinical training at Teaching hospital, Batticaloa. Phew..it had been a really busy month. The best thing about last month is that we didn't have any lectures apart from the hospital appointments. The worst thing is that only our batch had any work to do , while others enjoyed their holidays.

Okay, let me first fill you up with what I had been up to over the last month...

I'm starting my 2nd year MBBS , next week. Before that I had to complete initial clinical training at our teaching hospital. Whole point of the hospital programme was to give us some exposure of the hospital environment, and make us realise the team work involved in managing a patient. We were supposed to learn basic clinical skills and patient -physician communication skills as well.We had to work under 4 consultant physicians in 4 specialities - Medicine, Surgery, Gyn&Obs and Pediatrics.

The teaching hospital I had in my mind and the one I saw were quite different. It doesn't mean that I had never been there before. Of course I had been there. All those times I just kept to the lecture theatre and clinics and all. Never spent much time in the wards. Now that I had spent many weeks throughout the hospital, I realised how much it has changed. Something which caught my attention instantly was the cleanliness and odor-free environment of the hospital.. and trust me, it's something very uncommon for the Srilankan government hospitals to be clean! I soon found out the reason behind this unfamiliar cleanliness. There were numerous sanitary workers with red-black uniform , working all over the hospital. They belonged to some private company called "Will-shine"[ I liked that name ;)]. Thanks to them, my hospital days were odorless and headache free :)

More than anything else, it made me realise the importance of team work in patient management. Even though those 'will shine' people don't have any medical knowledge they are an ineluctable part of the health care system. Every where i went and everything I saw in the hospital emphasized teamwork. Doctors cant work alone. They need nurses, ward attendants, labourers, laboratory technicians and even sanitary workers.

"Less 'me' - More 'We' ; this is what team work is all about" One of the surgeons told me this. Now I know how very true it is.. Now I know what it takes to be a good physician..

My Desktop Story..

2008-09-13T08:39:00.010+05:30

I've been Tagged by Saranya. Thanks Sanu. :)

So, here is the screen shot of my current desktop-

I change my desktop pictures frequently- at least once in a week. I like my desktop fresh and new everyday. It makes me feel fresh as well. I don't have any serious criteria to select my desktop wallpapers. There is only one rule - Any picture that attracts me on the very first sight is fit to decorate my desktop ;) .

What do I love about my desktop?

Nothing very specific about this one, honestly. I just liked it for its simplicity and contemporary look.

Still Rogers Court!!!

2008-09-12T18:46:00.007+05:30

Roger Federer is back..He won the US open title for the 5th time in a row. His 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 final victory over Murray came at the end of what has been an awkward year.

Sure, Federer had shown himself to be vulnerable this year, suffering from mononucleosis early in the season, getting thumped at the French Open, and abdicating his crown at Wimbledon. His forehand suddenly wasn’t as feared. His imperiousness had been punctured by the rise of Rafael Nadal.

His defeat by Nadal in the French Open and at Wimbledon highlighted his struggles. Then came the quarterfinal defeat by James Blake in Beijing, a player whom Federer had beaten eight times out of eight.Yet, in the middle of his troubles, he won the Olympic doubles gold medal with fellow Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka.

How quick we are, though, to predict a star’s fall. All because the Swiss, who had reigned over men’s tennis with a velvety game and an iron hand for much of the last decade, only made it to the finals of two Grand Slams (losing one he’d won five straight years 9-7 in the fifth set) and the semi of the other. How lackluster! How pedestrian! Federer’s rule, it was said, was over. He’d dropped to No. 2 and was plummeting, never again to win another Slam.

Not so fast..!!!!

In thrashing Andy Murray and capturing his 5th consecutive US Open and 13th Grand Slam, Federer showed us, and perhaps even himself, that we were all much too anxious to write off a player of his ethereal caliber.

I missed that wonderful final as my dishtv receiver didn't work last Monday. I was really looking forward to that match and....gosh!! what a disappointment. Anyway, I managed to watch the highlights later.

My First Blog

2008-09-07T18:58:00.001+05:30

Hi everyone. This is my first blog entry.
I’ve been intending to write blogs for a long time now. I’m not going to write much ofcourse.. Just willing to put forward my simple thoughts and the happenings around me.

May be this is not a very convenient time for me to start a blog as I’m having a very busy life with my medical studies. Anyways I hope to be regular with my posts and updates.

I always love to share my thoughts and views. I always share with my friends, family and anyone who would listen to me. You might think I’m kind of a blabbermouth. For all I know, yeah..I could be one ;). I might be talkative, noisy and all..But after all, I love to share.

Moreover, I love to write. I like to put my thoughts into words. Not that always I find enough words to express my ideas. Anyways, I like to write.

Here is a short intro about me. I’m a simple girl from the small island-SriLanka. Youngest in my family and the pet for everyone. My father is an engineer. My mom is a dental surgeon. I have an elder brother, doing his degree(engineering)in Colombo. I’m now studying 2nd year Medicine (MBBS) in Batticaloa. I guess this is enough for the moment.

I love everything in my life- My family, friends, studies..etc. I believe that loving your life makes it a lot easier to live than it would otherwise be.
