God, tussi great ho !!!!

Well,well,well...!! God has waved his magic wand again !!!...

This time it was compppppletely unexpected !! 29th DEC 2008---My bro's b'day and my red letter day for leaving for mysore after my III sem vaccation. Unlike my vaccations before,this time, i had planned to be on the correct day in coll before i came home, but somehow after coming home; after really being with my parents "mentally", and physically, after what seemed like a loooooooooooong time :) ....deep down, i dint wana go; atleast not so fast! :)
As per plans, we packed all my things and on 29th morning, i was taken to the hospital to ask docs bout the bruise on my face. The doc presribed some medicines and refered me to the dermatologist in Gandhi hospital ( as if i had time to go meet him after standing for hours in the queue !!) After the hospital, i went on a lil expedition around our deeeaar schools, (both old and new blocks) with Shalu.
After that sunny trip, when i got back home, i knew something was going wrong. Those moments i have to confess that i had begun to think a lil bad of God and myself - Why is this happening to me & that to @ this crucial time?? why is it that i am made to go through these freaking fevers and sickness when i'm not with my mother ( i instantly felt guilty wen my brain reminded me of my best bud) Am i so bad?? Am i such a big sinner ???--Mom gave me my lunch immediately.Soon after lunch, i threw up---badly !!! Family got scared and they decided not to let me go !! My ticket was cancelled !!
Then, i took a nap, and after that like magic, i felt okay !!
Many would say it was all probably psychological or some crap like that. But for me and my parents, we saw God's hand in it!! I remember so many other times when i dint wana go to school etc. this dint happen then, why ??!! 'Coz then, God wanted me to go, he knew that it was best for me. Now, perhaps God knew that i had to be with my parents for a few more days, i needed to be, would perhaps be more proper ! :)May be like always, he heard my wish even before i ever uttered it !! Or he might have seen something else, something that i cannot see now, but would see later...The finite cannot measure the infinite....

All i say now is " THANK YOU GOD, TUSSI TOH GREATEST HO JI ...!!" Ummmmmmmm...uah God..!!! Love youuuu... !! :)

Hospitals turning hostile..!!

This semester was a roller coaster ride ! It started with an unforgettable, disheartening hospital experience ...took us through bumpy tracks in our friendships (thanks to the wonderful seniors for giving us sky rocketing stress levels and making us the scapegoats of their politics) and through highly adrenaline moments (like a guy entering our hostel, guys being caught for ragging,etc etc. the list goes on ..) and finally ended back in hospital, (thanks to the snake that chose to cross my path & zoomed away after suffering from a broken back )[What with a 50 kg weight on its slender back for over a second!! ;)]

So all in all...i spent quite a lota time in hospiltals this sem. What shocked me n my friends was the treatment that was given. We enter the hospital with our highly ill best bud and the "respected" doctors ask for some stupid forms to be filled ... and say that only then they would admit our bud-our lifeline!! We knew we were gonna have a hard time that very moment. Once inside the hospital,the "genius" of a doctor announces his Sttttuppid inferences about her illness without even asking for the symptoms !!! UNBELIEVABLE right ??? imagine what we would have felt, seeing our best friend going through perhaps the most painful of experiences, & that too without even her parents to look after her...!!! Blimey!!..Those days, we saw both God & Hell @ the same time!! Finally to top it all we get to know after about a month that she was diagnosed wrong !!! Poor thing...had to bear some 20 sedations, some 4 drips, and swallow tons of bullet sized tablets and don't even talk about OUR treatments :D !
Next, it was my turn- An eventful snakebite !! Well, i was lucky to find 2 malayali nurses who were nice to me ( unlike the previous hospital-wale evil nurses who made it a point to pretend they dint know any other language but kannada) BUT my experience wasn't all that rosy either! Inspite of the fact that i was quite normal, The doctors said, they would need to put me inside some kinda critical ward ( and for that, i'd have to deposit 10,000 bucks right away!!!! ) Knowing the mysore doctors just too well, i managed to wriggle outta that one with the help of a coupla of kind, mal student nurses who were yet untouched by the businessmindedness.I ended up in a special ward. My stay there for the next 24 hrs was fine, except that i had to bear a coupla useless blood tests and a stupid sodium hydrocortisol injection which made my poor delicate veins to swell into little balls!! :(( Yikes !! That moment, all i could remember was that scene in the movie, "Mummy",in which those creepy insects get inside the greedy man's skin and move around like li'l balls..AND FINALLY, they eat him up!!EEeeewww...!!

Anyway, its times like these that make us wish for someone like MUNNA BHAI M.B.B.S !! After all, its hospitals that are life savers of any place and corrupt hospitals would mean a complete loss of assurance and security. My experiences force me to ask if our Life savers are becoming our life takers??? Its already shaking my trusts on doctors, even though am sure that even now, there are HUMAN doctors in this world.

Just these two experiences of mine have so strongly affected me that i can almost hear alarm bells ringing in my ears, and i guess they are saing "Do Something" !! :)
Though small and far fetched, I have my secret plans awwready, which i'll try my bbbest to implement ;) !! What bout you ?? :)
