The Blog Of Dysfunction

Here it is, the promised update on my rather exciting life, for which you have been patiently and eagerly waiting. Thank you for being such nice fans. I am flattered. I hope none of you are upset because I am just simply unable to reply to all the fan mail I get, so if you have been un-replied to, forgive me, and be assured that your affection and admiration keeps me going.

• I have flown for the first time. I loved the acceleration for take off, like in a roller coaster going down, only in reverse and much more costly.
• One of my cousins is sadly no longer among us. He is not dead, but was recently married.
• I have become the only doctor in my hospital, and so from medical officer, have been promoted to “doctor in-charge”, which mostly means that I see patients after clinic hours and even on sundays.
• I have completely settled into Ubuntu life and am even forgetting my windows days. Ii any of you want to shift over to linux, NOW is the time.
• I am being plagued by severe power shortage, and un-scheduled power cuts, resulting in me having to hit the bed by nine, latest by ten on most days.
• I have finished reading two more of Margret Atwood’s marvelous novels and am in more awe of her than ever. After the robber bride, i like alias grace most
• Read an Ian Rankin novel and I loved its morbidity. its strange that I like all things morbid except Stephen King.
• Discovered the project why blog. PW is an NGO that is working among slum children in an innovative and powerful way.Why is that important? because I need reminders and inspiration, and the blog has both.
• I have known what it is like to be out of money. The flying cost  me all of my savings and here I was at the airport, hungry, light walleted, the cheapest item costing more than half my remaining cash. so I chose to drink black coffee, which, cost less than the sandwich and owing to caffeine suppresses hunger well.
• I have discovered a gastronomical delight in a paav bhaji stall in belgaum.If you are ever passing through balgaum in the evening, as for hotel ramdev and opposite it you will see a crowd, dive right in and enjoy a round of hot paav with spicy curry, go over to the chaat stall and have some shevpuri and then top it off with a falooda at the sweet stall.
• Firefox has made it into the guiness book or world records for having the maximum downloads ever on a single day, and yes, I was instrumental in them achieving this. Don’t you just love open source:-)

Well then, farewell till the next time, when i hope i will be able to write more. The power has gone, and will return only tomorrow morning, so the other two posts will have to wait.

Ciao

Me
