For some reason, I'm in love with the picture I've posted in my previous post. No idea as to why. Life seems relaxed at the moment. Had a 'real' nice time at Shruthi's wedding.I had a few problems to deal with. But nevertheless,everything got sorted out. But yeah, all through the while, I missed a friend. My best friend. When all friends were present at the wedding, this guy was missing. And the fact that he was my best friend made me miss him more. Anyways, maybe I need to get used to it. He lives far from here now, and sure won't be able to make it for the forthcoming friends' weddings too. But still, few friends can't be replaced I guess. I just don't get the comfort level that he and I shared, with anybody else..Well, maybe this is why they say, 'All happy things come to an end'. :-(
I'm glad I got a 3 day break from the hospital :) Missed two continous OPDs. All thanks to Shruthi's wedding :)
Mysore's weather is back to its normal pace. Just the way I love it. Cool, cold, drizzling, raining... Just the way I always loved Mysore. :) But everybody's so busy with their lives , that my friends and I don't get to hang out much liked we used to do earlier.. Wish to go to Chamundi Hill for a drive someday now.. :)
Watched a movie "The other end of the line". Oh, I loved it absolutely. Two completely different people and one cute sweet love story.That's how I always love stories. Any girl who is romantic would love to live that story. I would...Any day!!
Haven't got to talk to my brother for a while now. That's pretty unusual with me. Well, maybe I'll call him today.
Well, a lot more stuff happening in life. But as we always say, its 'nothing significant'. So, I'll call it a night here.
Take care people. Cheers :)

Wedding Bells everywhere
Looks like Wedding bells are ringing everywhere. One of my friend is getting married this weekend and celebrations are full-on. Its a marwari wedding and so, you can imagine the pomp and grandeur that's into the wedding. Its somewhat what you ideally call, 'The Big Fat Indian Wedding'. Yesterday was the mehendi function and I was no exception. I got my mehendi done too :) . Had fun yesterday. Everybody had fun. It's really good to have a wedding in the family. Its far better than any other festival. It gives people so much joy. An occasion for family and friends, to rejoice, to feel glad, to sing, to dance, to bless,to make merry, to say 'forever and ever'.. Wow!! I loved it yesterday. And I'm sure I'm gonna love the rest of the wedding too :) Going to Bangalore tomorrow for her reception party. Looking forward to the next three days. I've got leave from the hospital too :)
Three of my friends got engaged this month. Three more have their match-making going on on serious terms. And the rest, well, atleast few are thinking about it. I'm happy for all of them. I'm glad their 'happily ever after' is starting. But somewhere, it feels all different to know that, the girls and guys I hung out with, till recently, are already responsible enough to start a family!! Wow!! I too will get my number, one fine day( a long way to go though). Until then, I'll enjoy being the bridesmaid :) I'm loving it :)

Just when I think I'm done...
Saturday is back again!! Unfortunately!! :( Yeah, you didn't hear me wrong..I said 'Unfortunately' itself. Almost every sane human being looks forward to 'weekends'. For youth like us, Saturdays are always more fun than Sundays. But for me and a few more working with me, well, we just wish Saturdays cease forever..
It feels like just yesterday, that we had Saturday and our OPD and admission day and night shift and all that crap. And Saturday is here again :( How soon did the week pass by ? :(
Physiology says , your body and mind needs adequate rest.Being doctors, we all have studied it properly in our very first year of medical school. We know the disadvantages of not getting enough rest. Then why on earth are we doctors ourselves expected to work like donkeys?!?! We aren't some machines right? Why are we put on 36 hour shift and 70 hour shift and all that? Forget me, one of my friend took up MS general surgery in a government college recently. And poor fellow, he is getting to sleep only for an hour everyday for the past five days!! I mean, won't our efficiency decrease if we work like this?How much can you force your body and mind to work. When your drowsy and your mind is not analysing the history and findings and investigation reports of a patient to come to a diagnosis, forget the treatment part, whose at loss? What if you make a blunder in the treatment?At the end of the day, patients do get affected because of this right?But the world's very diplomatic. Everybody is of the opinion that, 'your a doctor. The noble profession. You should be able to handle all this'. What crap!! I wonder why shifts are so unreasonable. But I know for a fact that, nothing can be changed.
Intake of PGs and staff can be increased and work load will reduce. MBBS graduates are staying at home without PG seats and very low paid duty doctor jobs. But no. No college admits more PGs. I wonder why.When you can admit 150 students for an MBBS course, and you know that just an MBBS degree without an MS or MD leaves you nowhere, why is that you hardly have 50 seats for MD and MS? What are the others supposed to do? Stick to a 10,000 job all through life? Amazing logic ya!! Whatever it is, the hierarchy in this field is horrible. 'Rules' here, means, just what the seniors say. That's it. They are the rule makers and breakers and everything.
I'm not feeling well today. It looks like its gonna continue for tomorrow too. And tomorrow is supposed to be our busy day. How do I work when I myself am not feeling well? But yeah, I have to and I have previously worked while ill too. According to me, almost every intern and pg would have. Nobody in the hospital bothers about it. If at all I go and ask for leave, I won't get it because tomorrow is duty day and moreover, even if i get it, my leave for shruthi's wedding will get cancelled. Heights!!
My friends who I used to hang out with all these years have now shifted to Bangalore and elsewhere because most of my friends are engineers and are working in Metros. They come to Mysore only on weekends and they laugh at me when I say I'm at work!! Wow!! Amazing na? Life is screwed up if your weekends are screwed up yaar.
Anyways, I'm in this department for two more weekends. I'm on leave next weekend and that leaves me with only one Saturday duty and that's tomorrow. Hope things go easy tomorrow and hope my leave for the next weekend doesn't get cancelled. Want to get done with this..ASAP

Friends :)
Just think. Would you want a friend to be with you in these instances??--
- When you went to school those days by auto-rickshaw or bus.
- When sombody bullied you at school and you wanted someone to slap that person back.
- When you wanted to share the paratha your mom made and you were proud of.
- When you wanted to tell someone that you got your first crush!
- When you wanted to share that something wrong happened- be it silly or horrible.
- When you drove to college, the very first day.
- When you were sitting in the last bench during class, and wanted to play tic-tac-toe.
- When you wanted to sms somebody when the lecture was boring.
- When you wanted to decide what to wear for your first date.
- When you wanted a solution for you attendance shortage.
- When you ran out of cash, and needed some urgently.
- When you bunked classes and went to canteen or movie or even, 'sight-seeing'!
- When.... well, maybe almost every other moment in life..
Haven't you needed a friend all this while? Well, I have. And I'm sure you have to. I went out with my friends today evening after quite a few days. And I was so glad I did.I enjoy every single time I'm with them. Everybody does.
"Friends"... That word means a whole lot on earth. Each friend is like a new world. A world that's not open until you meet him/her. But yet, you feel that world is very familiar to you. A friend is someone who knows you through and through. Someone who knows the song of your life, and will prompt you when you lose track. A 
friend is someone who'll be there for you, when he'd rather be anywhere else. A friend is not someone who cries when you get hurt, but someone who tries to make sure that you don't get hurt. A friend is someone who trusts in you, even when you don't. A friend is someone whom you'll love your evening walks with. A friend is someone whose your all-time company to party with. A friend is someone who'd stand by you when the whole world laughs at you, and yet, laugh at your silliest of silly jokes. A friend is someone who would be your dairy, to keep your secrets actually as secrets. A friend is a philosopher and guide. Someone who might not know whats right for him/her, but for sure knows whats wrong for you. Someone whose not family, yet means family. Someone who'd be proud to know you, and flaunt it too. Someone for whom, your spouse would instantly become jiju or bhabhi. Someone who you might talk to after ages, and yet feel so comfortable. Someone, who I feel, I would write on and on about.. They mean a lot more than what I can write here. Infact they mean a whole new thing every other day!! I'm glad God created friends. Who said we make friends? Friends are born to be :) Infact, Friendship exists in every relationship, but in a very subtle way.
I'm glad I have a few really really good friends whose friendship I would cherish forever and ever. Thanks for being there guys. You make life fun :) Heege koole maadana ;)
Friends may not mean your life, but they definitely make life worth living :)
p.s.: I'd like to dedicate this to my best friends- Ashi, Nammu, Appu, Vivek, Chandu, Rakshi, Shru, Dhanni, few people from my college and a few more. Apologies appealed for the names not mentioned. It goes to every single friend of mine, whose made my life blessed :) Love you guys :)

Heights of co-incidence!!!
How much can be a co-incidence? Two girls having the same kind of dress? Both of them being friends? Both of them being colleagues, working within the same 4 walls, almost always next to each other? Both of them wearing those dresses the same day? Well,Trust me, I'd say- ALL OF IT!!
One extremely funny thing happened today. I and my co-intern happened to wear the same coloured attire with the same kind of prints too!! Both of us wore white and blue with circular prints. The shade of blue was same too. It was an extreme co-incidence. I didn't even know that she had a dress of this sort ( being with her since 4.5 years, I actually am kind of aware of the dresses she owns). Maybe it would go unnoticed. But since we both are in the same unit and always working together, every other person couldn't help but notice it.From nurses, to our friends, to PGs to Unit chief too!! And the comments we got, were really weird.Here are a few:
-->"Are you twins?" ( that was really weird. Our clothes might have been twins. but how can we be?)
--> One of the my friend pointed at my co-intern and said, "Look look, Chandana's there!!" Duh!!
--> "Did you both get these dresses in any 'buy one,get one free' offer?" Oh gosh!
--> "Are you celebrating any white and blue day?"
--> "Has any uniform system been started in your unit?" Yeah dude, thats the only thing pending now!!
Others were decent enough to ask, "hey, how come same kind of dresses?"Thank god!! But the above mentioned comments-@$*^&@*&"~. We felt like going home and changing! But unfortunately, sugery postings doesn't give you so much time. But the next time I'd wear this dress to hospital, I'd surely call my colleague and confirm that she isn't wearing the same dress that day. We took a snap of ours too to remember this 'once in a lifetime' incident. I showed the snap to my mom, and she started laughing too!!Heights ya!!

Im back with poetry :)
How would you feel If you sang at your favourite club after one whole year?
How would you feel if you ate your favourite dish after one whole year?
How would you feel if you sat by the riverside with your best friend after one whole year?
How would you feel if you played your favourite game after one whole year?
Great! Awesome! Amazing! Fantastic! Whoo! Yippee! or maybe even, 'Words can't explain'... Right?
Yeah right, that's how I'm feeling right now. I'm back to something!!. Something I really loved doing. Something that always gave me bliss. Something that always brought a smile on my face. Something which people associated me with. Something for which I was appreciated. Something for which, my family felt proud of me. Something for which, my friends gifted me presents. Something for which, the guy I had a crush on, liked me too. Something which allowed me to play my favourite game-to play with words. Something which made me feel the world is indeed beautiful. Something which made me feel that I'm quite the romantic. Something, which somehow, was a reason for me to be glad. Something, which I thought, I would never live without. Yeah, I'm back to POETRY!!
Hadn't written since almost a year, except for two poems. If I think back in retro, I actually don't find a reason as to why I stopped writing. But when I realised that I have stopped writing poetry and I ought to start writing, there I had- 'a block'!! I don't know how and why, but I really couldn't write for a long time. Thoughts and words never got the flow and I didn't want to force them too. But now, fortunately, I'm back with poems. I wrote one today. And the best part was, it just crossed my mind within no time and there, I had it on paper :). Though I feel I'm amateur yet, and I still have the habit of being lazy enough not to edit and refine my poems, I'm really glad that I started writing poems again :) I true and pure heartedly implore to God, that I don't ever get to stop writing poems, ever in my life . :)

How would you feel if you ate your favourite dish after one whole year?
How would you feel if you sat by the riverside with your best friend after one whole year?
How would you feel if you played your favourite game after one whole year?

May I consult Dr.Chandana please?
It's a saturday morning and as usual, I was expecting a busy day and night at work. I go to the OPD at past 10 , after finishing the dressings in the ward and there is an OPD card lying on the table unattended. I ask the PG if he is done with that patient and if I can dispense the card, and he says , "That patient wants to consult you itseems". There's no doubt about my reaction. You can guess it right?I know he is just kidding. I ask him to stop it and he says the same thing again. 'What the hell ya, how can somebody fool around like this early in the morning when there is a busy day ahead yet?' is what goes on in my mind. I ask him for the last time to stop acting weird and there he goes, "The patient said that she wants to consult Dr.Chandana itseems". Ah!! Now I know for sure. This guy is nuts. He is having fun at my cost.
Then, for some reason, I turn around and see, and I find that, THE PATIENT IS ACTUALLY WAITING FOR ME!!!. I was shocked, speechless, wondering what my staff would think about it ,and happy too.
Now the explaination for her waiting for me goes like this. This particular lady had come to the OPD last week too and wanted a female doctor to examine her and she was pretty scared about something regarding her health. As I was the only female doctor around, I did examine her, but rest of the diagnosis and treatment part was done by my senior. That time, it has so happened that she has got to know my name from my name-plate. Now,this week, when she has come for follow-up, she is asking for Dr. Chandana!!!
Whoo!!! Felt good in one way. It's a completely different story that it'll be my seniors who will be doing the needful for her and I'm here just as an intern, still in my learning process. But when most of the patients address you as 'Sister'(Patients think any young girl in an apron is a nurse!!! weird!!!) and you keep snapping back at them saying 'I'm a doctor', if a patient asks for you and waits for you, it is but obvious that you will feel good right? When at times, you don't even get the respect that the para-medical staff get, by you very own staff, if somebody is respecting you as a 'Dr' , you will feel glad right? When most of the time you are doing clerical work at the hospital, if a patient actually wants you to treat her, you will feel great right? :) Nice :) :)
