Blissful Life

When you apply skepticism and care in equal amounts, you get bliss.

Year: 2012

  • Second internal – Physiology

    Always makes you feel better

  • Being Myself

    Hostel life brings you an opportunity to be yourself. What that means for me right now is that I’m going back to my old ways of bathing once in four days, which my loving mom had a very hard time trying to change.
    In fact by the time I left my house she had succeeded in it. But, as I mentioned, Mysore Medical College undergraduate hostel for men, is now letting me improve upon the days-without-bath count by suffering from acute hypohydro-ism (water scarcity). I know this counts as whining. But just in case the health minister notices this before coming to inaugurate the Swami Vivekananda statue, and the solar lights (as a party of the golden jubilee celebration) on Saturday, may be he can know how I’ve hidden all my dirty clothes in my big suit case for welcoming him into my pseudo-clean room.

    Speaking of the solar lights, there are too many of them, everywhere, that now you gotta keep an eye out unless you wanna dash into the tall metal pole with the photovoltaic cells mounted on top of it. But it does lend the hostel a futuristic look!
    I’ll try to post pictures once they start working (and before they stop doing so)

  • second internal – biochemistry

    Better luck next time 😛

  • Happy Valentine's day

  • Time sync

    The timings of my posts may create the impression that I rarely sleep. But that’s not exactly right. I sleep all the time, and sometimes wake up at odd times. That’s all

  • Android and non-Droids

    Time’s been flying!
    I survived a conjunctivitis attack.
    Was given a very nice surprise by my friends on my b’day at the shore of kukrahalli.
    I’m in love, with my new phone – HTC explorer, Android 2.3
    And the second internal starts from twenty first of February.

    Well, that’s in short.
    Now, we no longer wait to hear “leave the hall” in dissection hall; when it’s time, start moving the chairs and we’re off.
    And there’s news that next year there’s gonna be two hundred or two fifty students in first year. Dunno where they’re gonna stay.

    Plus, the meditation session going on every day after class, as an experiment by the physiology department is going strong. I was the only guy who attended it today :-P.

  • National youth day

    Alumni association is conducting a formal function celebrating swami vivekananda jayanthi (150th birthday) and national youth day.

  • The exponential lag phase

    Time has been flying past the first internal. (That's exactly how the clock has been behaving all these years – overcome the inertia, and speed up to infinity)

    human physiology experiments. Yeah! Stethoscope in our ears. Finally came to know what exactly those had to do in measuring blood pressure.

    i discovered an awesome blog by one of our seniors – li-files.blogspot.com

    skull looks cute.

    I'm attending guitar classes now.

    And, seniors finished their exams (or not?)

  • Happy New Year!

    The year’s first mass bunk happened on the last day of 2011. Saturday. Up to 15 people were reported to have attended the classes.
    And as expected, it was celebration throughout the midnight.
    The mess hall turned into a dance ball.
    The TV was the DJ.
    Then, burning the hostel. Palm leaves, fire-logs, kerosene – inflammable combination.
    Wishing everyone around the fire.
    All networks were jammed at the right time.

    +I learned the art of pulling out an all nighter. To finish the gross anatomy record. It was fun. Theophylline (instead of the preferred caffeine) and Taylor Swift’s Love Story.

    Then, yeah, Dr Asha, physiology dept., has agreed to give us all the presentations she uses in the class.Well, that could be called a stride towards being like MIT.

    I guess my brain needs some sleep. ZZZ…

  • 2011: The Year of Conversions

    “2011 is the only year I studied both in a school and a college.” ~SMS forward

    June – All exams done. Time to commit to one very big life decision – college.
    July – Enjoy, wait eagerly for college.
    August – Join MBBS, marvel at the size of textbooks. +Start the challenge of living without a computer for an year.

    October – Sleep.
    November – Loose sleep studying for internal exams.
    December – Rejoice at the failure. Learn from it. And start afresh. This time, it’s a happy new year!

    I have some serious ideas about studying medicine subjects, especially anatomy. It’d be worth another post after I finish the experiments.
