Suddenly i have realized that "time" flies like some super fast supersonic jet nowadays...Just a blink of the eyes and zooom one week goes by...when i sit down and close my eyes and ponder what i did last week,i draw a absolulately blank picture...When i force the little neurons of my hippocampus (that's the memory apparatus), these few obscure images crop up .....
1. Vivid stills the movie of the week..."SINGH is KINNG" ...I watch it on 08.08.08 (and like always), 1st day 1st show...but this time in a jam packed theater with a very dear "claustrophobic " friend ...the movie is good,even if it isnt great....AKKI rocks n KATS pretty as ever(esp in her barely there pink skirts of hers) but what really jubilates me is its title....singh is kinng...hmmmm i feel likka a king...
2. The shine of the gold medal and the national anthem being played at the olympics....Its really great ...Like all Indians celebrated the gold medal that our shooting star,Abhinab won at beijing that day...Never before has any sporting event made me so happy(if u deduct the T-20 championship) and i am really hoping some medals from our boxing stars...we are always good at fighting, isnt it....
3. Spend bulk of the week gobbling books i.e 4 large voluminous Harrison's Internal medicine text books...While I give one weekly mock examination braving the harsh rain but on the other hand miss the other exam owing to my lack luster preparations...Hey i feel the guilty pangs somewhere !
4. And yes it was the Rakhi week...it fells really good when my adorable sisters's rakhis are being tied onto my hands and the outflow of pocket money in procuring gifts for them strangely cheers me up....
So the week is over and another one has started..Thinking of making a time table for this one,least it vanishes before i hit the "post" button of this blog...

99 slaps = 1 kiss
That's the unusual tag line of the film...So if the kiss is from the hot Mallika Sherawat,it sounds real mouth watering,isnt it...One can easily tolerate the 99 slaps for the elusive kiss...All these thoughts were going in my mind when i was buying the first day first show ticket of UGLY and PAGLI....
And when i came out of the theatre, i was'nt disappointed and had got the kisses from Ranvir Shorey...Now don't get me gay,but this dude playing dumb was superb...His ever eternal vulnerable face is so believable that u actually feel those slaps...The scenes where he wears a petticoat and rides a cycle putting his bottom to utmost risk,or where he walks down wearing the stiletto heels or his 'fart'inating experience in the lift leaves u in splits...
And finally when he gets his girl and along with the kiss, u think its fair enough..He deserves it hands down...Now what about our sexy Mallika ? She is hot and cool at the same time,'masters' her act well as she tries to enslave our poor dude...check her 'outer ' garments in a dare which she does for Ranvir....But its the emotional Mallika who sounds too screechy...Please we dont need her sobbing and being teary eyed but want her to be hot ,sadistic who dominates her lover...
This flick is inspired from "my sassy girl" as it says so in the title credits(at least they have the guts to say so)...And the director pulls his own leg in the particular scene in which Ranvier goes to show Mallika's script in some famous producer office and the producer asks for the DVD from which it is inspired,saying no script nowadays is original...I wonder how Pritish Nandy(the producer of this movie) was shown the script..!!!
The direction part is okay,but drags a bit towards the end...The music is average and by the way who listens to the music when u have Maillka gyrating on screen...The movie is a collage of some brilliant scenes, but the thread connecting them could have been stronger..But i am not complaining...i have got my kiss..
rating..3/5
wow when eyes talk....
I feel eyes are the windows to a woman's heart...
No wonder,the lingering looks of your eyes,too difficult to thwart....
They present a vivid view...
of pools of bright blue....
I wish to dive in...
and foresee no sin...
In experiencing for myself...
thoughts and feelings of thyself...
Eyes do more than just view one's surroundings...
They talk...and talk not with words but understandings...
They tell stories,
of dim glories...
Sometimes the tales are of yearning for a friend....
Or of happiness because there is love for someone who is godsend!
With each blink, something ignites a spark...
and makes me sing within myself like a lark...
I look into your eyes and again they talk...
about love and take me into the eternal walk....
Just the way,you look at me says it all...
"I need you","I care for you", they sing in carol !!!
wow ,when eyes talk....

Dedicated to Mr. Aamir khan
Yes!!! I have arrived...Arrived finally to this blog-o-sphere and this is one of my first half hearted attempt to blog...But then you would ask why this blog on Aamir khan when he himself owns a whole blogging community...That's because he is the inspiration,expiration and perspiration behind me being present in this blog-world...
When one of my friends had suggested me to start blogging,I was bit apprehensive...But then when a person like Aamir khan can blog,why cant I..? I may sound narcissistic,but at least i am more erudite that Aamir...he hasn't graduated (or has he?) while i have successfully completed a ruefully long medical curriculum...
So both Aamir n me are now bloggers..But that's where the similarity ends abruptly...We are poles apart ,but i can prove in 7 WAYS I am superior to him...Here i go..
1. Aamir has always been the 'thinking' actor,a rare breed indeed and that has lead to much of his mammoth success...while I am just the 'thinking' doctor...You may think all these doctors are the thinking types,what's so special...That's what is special !!! i have to think extra to outsmart my colleagues while Aamir has just to think...

Note : ECT stands for ELECTRO CONVULSIVE THERAPY...thats in a layman term is electric shock given to mentally ill patients....
For maybe less than 0.6 seconds,his body must have felt the 100 volt jolt...That current from two brazen electrodes attached to his head was adequate to induce a generalised tonic clonic seizure..i.e..all his body muscles contracts simultaneously,he acquires a opisthotonus position and trembles vigorously as one does during a convulsion...His mouth is gagged n 5 strong men pin him down as his iatrogenically induced seizure continues..All this go on for hardly 30 to 40 seconds when he collapses and becomes calm as a sea...Of course during the entire rigorous procedure,he was on anaesthesia and it is most likely he wont remember the ECT or the "SHOCK" at all...
This person is my 35 year old cousin..Following some heavy business losses and stressful family relationships(that u usually expect in joint families) he developed a bipolar disorder(this mental illness is the disease of extremes..i.e at one time he is severely depressed while at other times he is euphoric,hyperactive)...In the last few days he was controllable n excessively violent and had to be chained in order to be brought to the psychiatrist...This doctor seeing him at once decided to give the "SHOCK"...
Now myself being a young budding doctor with bubbling interest in the field of human psychiatry,i didnt like the treatment modality at all...after all ECT is primitive; There are so many wonder drugs available for various mental problems n still why do we have to resort to this SHOCK...Certainly i agree with the human rights people that we are breaking Hippocrates oath that bars us from causing bodily harm...Its not human at all to give someone, all gagged and overpowered ,a more than 100 volted jolt to induce a deadly seizure in the name of therapy....To compound it,there are chances of patient suffering from memory loss,confusion,painful muscle soreness n even death in some extreme conditions....
But then that is one side of the story...certain mental conditions like the one my cousin is suffering from,drugs are most likely to be ineffective... Also he is not co operative n very unlikely that he will take the medicines...And as his aggressiveness has reached maniac proportions, the EL:CTRIC SHOCK becomes the only treatment modality...
As I write this down,my cousin is gearing up for the second dose of SHOCK and i really hope that these SHOCKS help him recover from the shocking state that he recently has been in and normalcy be restored....
