Too long it's been. Hi!

Has it been an year already? Used to be, not so long ago, that I checked the blog once in a while and killed myself to post something on it just to keep it going. What am I doing now with this post you ask? Umm, the same!?
So, in the final year of residency now (yay!).
Can't wait to jump into the real world.
So long!

Of being 26, wise and otherwise.

HI! So it's been an year..what an year this has been! Figured out life, got married, got into the nighmarish "dream" course, moved out, and such stuff.
Although I 'still' love being what I'am profession wise, not a morning goes without hating going back to the hospital, dreading it, expecting the worse and planning to quit, staying home and being a good hindu housewife. Arrrrgh. I want juniors I say!
So this sums up..what I have been doing for the last one year..
(Why did I suddenly get a mood to share this boring stuff you ask? New laptop Yo! )

Random Stuff

If you had 30 days for yourself, with nothing but freedom to do what you wanted to do, what would you do?

No making plans with others, its only about and limited to you. 

Me? Eat, Sleep massively, read if I came across something good and TV!
Most importantly, I would want to read about my favorite subject, obstetrics and gynecology. In fact, I hardly read Dutta textbook of Obs. in my final yr MBBS just cos I saw a few PGs holding that book, told myself I would read it later. Maybe I should just ask for suggestions about this.
What I would hate to do? Think about stuff that doesn't matter, stories that exist only in my head. If only that was easy!
You know how we stumble across something just when we need to? My Zite feed had this for me today. Makes sense.
This is my summer of  '13. This and cranberry juice!

The one with lots of tv shows' names

I watch TV, lots of it, on a PC. It was mostly American till I started watching Call the midwife, British. There's so much of tea and cake in it guys! and of course the English! Actually wanted to start Downton Abbey for a long time after that spoof on SNL and that episode of HIMYM with a fake show in the show only fueled it, but wasn't sure if I really have to watch so much drama.

So anyway, I'm waiting for the next season of Call the midwife, those seasons are terribly short!
Also, Breaking Bad, Dexter and Girls. Dexter kind of got boring though. How exactly is he the good guy now? Remember when he shot at Hannah's dad and also the Det. Laguerta thing? Henry's code..hello? And about Breaking bad, I hope it won't go down the spiral like it happened with Dexter after Deb found out about her brother. Girls, please stay the same.

And RIP 30 Rock, will miss you dearly, like Scrubs. And hello The Mindy Project, there are talks on internet already about our Mindy Kaling replacing Ms Fey on television. Love love Tina Fey.
Now that I've discovered that NBC's app on iOS doesnt have any geographical limitation for its shows, fresh content of SNL, Community and 1600 Penn FTW (please dont judge me for that, I agree with everybody that Skip Gilchrist is the most annoying character on tv, well, ok, only after The Family Guy guys and Seth MacFarlane).
Also, long live Modern family and please notmuchlonger, How I Met Your Mother.

Sleeping bad

Monsters.They exist.Or not.I don't know.But if you can't lay on your bed without forcing yourself to have your eyes open when you aren't asleep just to stop thinking,then you will agree with me.May be you aren't a bad person.You may not even be a fatality. You don't have to be so hard on yourself, maybe.You might be sad.But you have a lesson with you.Everything, everything in your life happened just to get you to this spot where you are at.May be you should just put away those rose-colored glasses when you look back.Why do you think this is sad? When were you happier to begin with?
My monsters exist. I'm fighting them. Almost done.
Where are your monsters? Under your bed? In your head?

FailWhale

This is the first day of the rest of your life, but what kind of life will it be, huh? Will it be a life of fear, of "Oh, no no no I can't do this"? Of never once believing in yourself?

But seriously, what would you attempt to do if you knew you wouldn't fail?

S#it people say

I have known quite a lot of variety of people so far, few are still in my circle and many I chose to set free.
But what I still have of all of them are the memories. Memories of the massive crap they said.

Person 1: (Explaining why her son chose to join MPC but not BPC in his intermediate.The following 'talk' happened in the summer after his tenth std)
He says its pointless studying MBBS from anywhere but AIIMS what with all the number of doctors in every street. But he also thinks its tough to get into AIIMS, so he will join IIT.
(He has recently graduated from an IIT. Good student- yes. Dumbass- Yes)

Person 2: (Explaining why she chose 'National Premed' coaching course over the state CET.She was a neighbor and my junior. This 'talk' happened during the first week of her Intermediate first year.)
Obviously! Makes no sense to shift to the city and study for an exam that will get me into a local medical college. JIPMER, or atleast Manipal is worth aiming for.
(She just completed her BPharm course from a college in Karnataka. Course in 'slay the snootiness' was what she should have chosen after her Tenth)

Person 3: (Talking about a person who she would observe daily after the college while they were both driving home)
She's such a boring and slow driver. Would go on 20 kmph, not just during heavy traffic, even with empty roads. I would know, I used to go behind her.
(I just hope she doesnt tell this anywhere else. That or let no one know that I used to know her.)

Person 4: ('Confronting' a friend of mine(A) who was involved in an eco project at the college)
4- To ask us to keep the earth the way you want, who do you think you are? An angel that God sent down?
A- I can see where this is going. *turns away*
4- Talking to others around her, 'Seriously yaar'
(EVERY WORD IS EFFING TRUE! I WAS RIGHT THERE WHEN THIS HAPPENED)
(I don't know what she's doing now. I'm scared of her. Big time.)

PS: I just realized that my study break has long been over. Will add up if I remember any other nonsense.
Ciao

DM, type II

So, I was reading about Diabetes Mellitus the other day and the part about adipose tissue & resting skeletal muscles got me sh*t scared.Mine's an overly sedentary lifestyle these days and with half my grandparents being diabetic,it got me thinking about actually moving it.That and mom's not so subtle hints that I was putting on weight.
Bah,MOMS!
Then later during dinner, I was talking to her about these heavy issues and that I decided to (re)join the gym.
Mom- No, waste of money.Pointless paying for the entire month when I know that you hardly go there for more than ten days.
Me-Abba ok..then stop telling me that I'm getting fat.
Mom-Go running, do yoga.
Me-Fine, I want new shoes.
Mom-Take lite, you wont get Diabetes anytime now,I dont have it right.Stop overthinking and study.
Me-.......(until next time)

Circling down the brain

So.True!
Gah..I know it wont be as hard as it's in my head, I know it.
Also it's not the first time I'm reading the subject.
Still I brood over the fear of it.

(Edit: Ugh I sound like such a loser, thank God I dint talk about all this to a real person.Its just a blog, nobody cares,go sit over those worries, I said to my inner Goddess ;) ((ok, that's a private joke, between her and me)) )

Water under the bridge

When nothing goes right.
When nothing right is left.

Pain in the brain

This is to announce to the whole wide world that I'm done with Neuroanatomy(firstreadingonlynothingbigiknowbutwhoamikiddingitsabigdealforme.)
So, one of the (many)terrifying subjects from the mbbs days has been ticked off, after several hours of yawning and even a few extra&intracranial assaults, i think!
[I REALLY HOPE I REMEMBER THOUGH :/ ]

[Biochem, you next you mofo]

LDL, of a sort.

Choice overload- the new bad cholesterol.

The life and times of a socially awkward penguin, they say.

This pretty much sums up what I'm upto these days even without a bed underneath. Gah! Who is complaining?

Pity party

Last few weeks would probably go down as the most frustating period of my intern year.At least thats what I hope to say so.That phase is over.Never again. Although I'm in the department I'd always visioned myself in, somethings not right.Its not the subject.I love the subject.But I donno, something! I'm not excited :((I will end my depressing post right away.Cheers ;) )

There's a friend for that

I'm happy and theres a friend who is happy with me, only about that.

I'm sad and theres another friend whos there for that.Just for that.

Generally you'd say "the second, the second is who your best friend is"

But obviously I'm a different person with each one of them that is.

How would you rather like me to be?

About surgery

So the dreaded Medicine posting begins this monday.I would've said dreaded for any other posting anyway.
Surgery- the subject, we need to talk.
Let me tell you why: First off I wasnt even prepared for internship mentally.All I thought during my last days of mbbs was to just get through the final exams. Before results, all I wanted was to pass (surgery obviously, not hard to guess). The ten days between the day my results were out and the internship began were fully devoted to touring the government offices and the lengthy paperwork.
Next I began my internship in all new surroundings.Surgery postings.
My first ward duty was in the septic wards.I never really liked surgery and I am obviously not a fan of dressing and draping Pyoceles and Fourniers gangrenes.I hated every minute of it.
I normally take a very long time to get adjusted to new people.And as an extern in this hospital, imagine.
                What I particularly hate about people who talk a lot and not work a lot is everything about them.I had the opportunity to meet such people in the first month itself.Not a good time to be bestowed upon with other's duties onto my already overburdened soul.
Now you know the background.

What I want to do different this time:
 1.I'm the only intern working in the whole unit.All the work is mine.If anyone else is helping me in it, its just a favor they are doing to me.After all internship is once in a lifetime opportunity.
2. Go back to 1.

How to spot an intern thats going to be super-hit doctor in the future.Or how not.

No.I dont get pissed when a patient or an attendant calls me sister and my male co-intern as doctor.
NO.I wont talk in length, with expressions and hand movements about a complicated case of wound cleaning and dressing I did that day and tell how horrible i felt after yelling at a woman in labor to shut up when doing my first episiotomy.
And Im definitely NOT excited about another day of routine paper work and running around blood banks.
Reason for my rant here:Somebody I know does everything above and talk hours about the same while I sit there and roll my eyes over the stories, only to be judged by my non-medical friends as how that somebody has the spark that makes a successful doctor and me..hmmmmm..I will gain interest eventually, maybe ?
I cant blame them.Obviously.They are my friends.They are always wrong.
Then why the post?
LOOK IM WRITING STUFF ABOUT HOSPITALS WHILE SHES JUST TALKING.

Pirates of Karaabian

Thats it..People downloading free tollywood mp3s are reportedly feeling cheated all over the world.What a shame.

Remake hindi or even another south indian language movie into telugu and expect people to watch it..no problem..jai Torrentz!
No thats not enough for you..You go ahead and remake the songs too..! people will stop downloading those pirated mp3 also one day.Much needed songs publicity is also a goner then.
Soon Lakshmi Ganapathy films will rule the roost.Mark these words.

:: Lakshmi Ganapathy films-> remember the shrill lady voice that promotes dubbed english movies and their hilarious telugu titles ! ;)

IMPORTANT INFO
The music tracks from Tollywood movies are generally 6 in number..One will be the Hero's introductory song..generally mass and with inspiring lyrics or boasting stuff about him/his hit movies/his family(can go many generations back) if the name of the movie is of a wild animal (with which our hero might not even be in the same frame if not for the graphics).One might be a family song, one break up song and the rest are duets.
Pliss to save the above info, who knows, you might have already downloaded the last tollywood album you ever will.
(Dont worry..you wont miss anything, the original music would anyway be with you..Just stay updated with engleeesh/tamil/hindi songs)



PS: I dont download pirated music.
I love tollywood when it is otherwise original.I love tollywood so much that I'm going to remake telugu movies in hindi.(For that please sign a petition asking Priyadarshan saar and Salman bhai to leave few hit movies for newgoers like me.Google for the petition)
