Cauldron of Thoughts...

Day 7 : The finale! A tiring day!Have been  sneezing throughout! Still focusing on five good things that happened : 1. I realized that I hadn't lost it even after being lectured for over an hour by PSM professors - The so called "General Do's and Dont's of PSM posting''. Like its some war. I was, in fact, amused. Let me elaborate : PSM (Preventive and Social Medicine) faculty in my college is full of those sadists who want to control each and every aspect of your life.You argue. They ensure you flunk! I'm posted in this department for a month starting today. They take us in groups in mornings on these visits to places that provide health care services to the community at large : the social aspect of medicine. Well, that's interesting indeed. But this department is so hyper about things, which makes it all so dull. The group that goes usually misses out on all other lectures scheduled after 12 noon and is still held responsible for missing the...

1. Took a day off from college today and slept till late. My heart knew bliss. :-) Realizing that I wouldn't get such a day-of-just-doing-nothing in next two months, this bliss became important. I'm going to have a tough time now with my hectic PSM posting around...starts tomorrow! 2. Was glad to know this gentleman thinks like me . Rs 35,000 crores spent to earn a national embarrassment! 3. This comic page on Oatmeal made me smile! A must see for Apple fans! This guy does some great gags! 4. Completed some pending job - basically that histopathology file of mine. I know it will sound whacky but I kinda enjoy making tall columnar epitheliums with lilac pencil in my diagrams! :P 5.Exercised my mind. Played some Sudoku on my phone. :D

1. It was effectively 4 hours of college today. But it took me over 2 hours in just travelling - the traffic!. But it couldn't really piss me off! Don't know if it was the weather or the music! 2. It was fun 'ducking' ourselves from the rain while going for classes. :-) 3. This Pathology professor made us 'think' today - Isn't it amazing how the multiplication of those millions of cells in our body everyday is so tightly controlled by special molecules so as not to cause a cancer when we know there are zillion points in a cell cycle where any error can turn things cancerous! Homeostasis is a beautiful entity in itself! 4. Could just not resist my temptation today. I had to (yeah, had to) have a Crackle today. Cadbury! :-) 5. Learnt to play Summer of '69 on guitar. I was so fascinated to the sound when my bro started playing it today. I wouldn't let him go on without teaching me! I just wouldn't! After much struggling, I could finally pl...

Ummm...4 days into this and I really AM feeling good doing this :) (though really have to think hard!) Fives for the day: 1. Ah, listening to Khurafati Nitin certainly makes your day! :) He's Dilli ki jaan. I still like his old moniker Ulta pulta Nitin .You just cant help but laugh when this dude speaks (No matter what's on your mind). His pranks, his comic timing, his candour about things and the hidden satire in those qawaalis - everything gives you this feel of Delhi 2. The greener Pushta Road while on way to college. It's becoming greener in the wake of CWG 2010. 3. Feels nice to see my blog so active from my side. (Who else visits this anyway :P) 4. This Pharmacology PG described me as someone 'bubbling with knowledge' :D Haa! I was the only one in the group who happened to know HHV8 is equivalent to Kaposi's Sarcoma Virus!There came the compliment from him.And as you can decipher, I'm proudly showing it off! :P Blogs are for that! 5.Wasn...

Fives things that made me happier today : 1. The day started with a friend mentioning how she has now started believing in spirits after an experience of hers. I was all ears to what she said. Later in the day, I read up a lot about Ouija boards on the net. All this fascinates me to a great deal. So learning more about it automatically made me happier. Ouija is all a game of energy I feel. And I do believe in all this! 2. I went to a friend's place. There were 3 of us. Sundays, I tell you - perfect days for lazying off at your place or at a friend's. :D 3. Later in the evening went out to Great India Place, Noida. I got a cute red T-shirt (the li'l smiley on it added to the cuteness quotient). Then I realized this was the second smiley stuff I got this week. 4. Driving back home from Noida was all the more fun today as: One, it had rained. Its altogether a different feeling to zip your car through Delhi roads in awesome weather. Two, I now have music system re-instal...

Five things I did today which made me happier : 1. I have now successfully suspended my Facebook account. :D Well, still wont criticize such sites, for they are just bringing people closer! Its just that I lost interest. 2. Chit-chatted with this good friend . We two went out for lunch after today's college. It had been long. We two had an awesome time. 3. Watched two episodes of House MD - I'm so in love with this show. I find all the characters so adorable. But the best - Dr. Gregory House! 4. Increased my cardio exercise regime by 15 minutes. :) 5. Listened to some awesome songs from Indian Ocean. A full 'Hindu' coverage was just enough a  trigger. Plus, it had been mentioned by a friend some days back - this great music fanatic he is! (cant hyperlink the blog. seems its no longer there!)

Preeti Shenoy recently wrote a post about  this 7 days of positivity experiment. And it got me thinking! There are times when it gets difficult for you to focus on the 'positives' in your life. Then you think nothing is falling or ever will fall in place. I decided to try this. This shouldn't be too hard! And hope it survives for the week ahead! So my 'fives' for today : 1. I resumed my workout. Darn those exams - which I used as an excuse (to myself) for everything - even for not working out! Well, it gave me such good energy for the rest of the day.  Feeling lethargic lately,eh? Rx -  60 minutes of cardio exercises daily to make you feel stronger, energetic and happier and of course to decrease the risk of those cardiovascular diseases! :)  2. I now own Merriam Webster Medical Dictionary on my Blackberry! :)))))))))) Now I can now successfully look up for Abbe Estlander operation or Guillain Barre or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Freund's ...
