vagus ( medical for vagabound)

Some times i let go and things happen to me..... good things , even better things have happened to me in this way. i don't regret any of those moments when i have let it all go. One such moment was when i said yes to my Professor when he asked me to send an abstract to Chennai, Cardiology Society of India conference..... i thought that let me send, to go or not will be decided later or never, i will simply avoid him. i did send an abstract. it got accepted and here i am in Chennai an a Internet cafe because i have to kill time. the scientific ended at 5 pm and there is a musical program at 7 pm which i don't want to miss. Shankar, Ehsan and Loy are going to perform and it will be a shame to pass on that.

actually i am having a good time for some time now which i am afraid has reached a toxic level. normalcy may turn out to be boring after this..... first i went to health camp in the north bank of Assam where we had to cross the Brahmaputra on a boat and stay for two nights. i was optimally, on the first day and toxicly on the second day under the influence of lady methyl. if fact i almost proposed a girl i barely knew but was surely going to meet in near future, as a student or junior...... i had to confirm who she was from a photograph the next day....
then i went to kolkata with family to attend my cousin sisters marriage. she was always beautiful and we ( at least I ) always knew she will get a good husband.... she did . Arijit is a good looking boy( i know he is married and i should call him man, but that's how he looks) from an old 'bonedi' Bengali family. they have some 52 members living in a haveli type of building in Shobhabazar , kolkata. he looked honest and nice as we ( me, my cousins & the parents of us all )enjoyed the food, fights, the parties, movies, PRPCs (poro ninda poro charcha,meaning bitching and back biting ).

next was kaziranga. APICON Assam chapter, went with my professor, gave a platform presentation and came with the Head of the Department of Neurology. i gave a good presentation and my friends said that i will get the prize money.... i have been i such situations and knew that it hurts if over expectations are killed. it got killed. i was grounded back.
two days after that i started for Chennai. reason, it was a national paper and Brauwnwald E was supposed to come ( whose text book we study). i flew to kolkata and then came to Chennai in Koromondol express. though the train wad travelling south i was travelling north. Afghanistan. Kabul. i was reading Khaled Hosenni's THE KITE RUNNER. read a good book after a long time.... i was standing with Amir and Hussain( the protagonist's of the plot ) all the way..... realizing that not only me but many people are tormented by he past. u think that time heals the scars but its not time but redemption. how u do that is a matter of time..... someday i will be able to do mine.
in Chennai am staying in my uncle's place, who is a asst prof in applied mechanical engineering in IIT Chennai. the campus is huge, part of a national reserve for deers and black buck( the one that Salman Khan had killed and was jailed for ). just reminded me of my friends who used to prepare for IIT when i was busy remembering the scientific names of unusual animals & plants, and the reproductive system of rats or frogs ...... for my medical entrance exam. i did regret my decision when my friends from BE got jobs and i was still in medical school. now having attended the 1st day of the conference (CSI, the one that i have come to attend in Chennai, remember ?) i am not sure if i am at loss. in fact in the present scenario of financial crunch.... the health sector is completely unaffected. and as i see it i am loving it.

hope i get time to sit again very soon.........signing off for the time......chao.
