<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wiping the sleepy eyes and looking at the rising sun through the window, Kashmi realized she was already late. It was getting tougher for her to stop worrying about her little baby at home and resist the urge to leave. But then, she knew she hasn't yest finished at work and might have to stay back until she's completed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's just one month since Kashmi gave birth to a baby girl. As a single mother with no one to look after, she had no other choice but to get back to work at the earliest. Following delivery, the day she felt she could move around without much difficulty, Kashmi got back to her routine. Had she chosen not to, she would starve and so would her newborn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Every evening, as she left for job, she would leave the child with the old lady with whom she shared a small hut. The old lady, who once lived the life of Kashmi, would look after the kid until the mother took over and then leave to scavenge the near by town. In return, Kashmi was happy to share a part of whatever little food she could manage with the old lady.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP8ouRU7zu1pRf79CBtkn9PwKmmUCo6klasIuwrQzOg3AotSXPrTkOKCCLJ4CaAwg5fbN33Qk4lHm-0A95dI1hQ2Key5kP55NvYeHO7l7y17loOUxJld_Liweff5W8DYCOX7EhwKJdpNVv/s1600/baby+care.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP8ouRU7zu1pRf79CBtkn9PwKmmUCo6klasIuwrQzOg3AotSXPrTkOKCCLJ4CaAwg5fbN33Qk4lHm-0A95dI1hQ2Key5kP55NvYeHO7l7y17loOUxJld_Liweff5W8DYCOX7EhwKJdpNVv/s320/baby+care.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In most cases, Kashmi is back home soon after the conical speakers of the nearby temple blurted out the ritual Suprabhatham. On reaching home, the first thing she would do was to put her sweet little baby girl to her breast. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The sense of motherhood she felt as the baby suckled on those breasts, drowned her in a sense of well being and made her feel at the top of the world. This would help her forget all the hardships she faced in earning just enough to eat as much as she needed to nurse her baby.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wanting to remain bonded for all the goodness of the world for ever and ever, she would change the baby from one breast to another and continue feeding until the baby is contented and slipped the supple nipple out of it's mouth. That's when she would surface back to the real world and have a peek at herself in the broken piece of mirror, which hung from the termite eaten wood that was once a door.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the mirror, Kashmi would see an emaciated lady in her late twenties, comforting a baby girl, who is now sleeping peacefully in her lap. Few inches from the baby, would be her skinny chest that appeared taunt by prominent ribs that held her motherhood in place. Her skin would have signs of trauma in various phases of healing, which she probably succumbed while at work. The next few minutes, she would recollect on the poverty that struck and the hard work she did, staring at it's evidence in the mirror.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
The image would convey a lot of things to her. Sometimes, it would speak aloud of the dreams that she once weaved so fine and the way it shattered one dreadful day. But the satisfaction of being able to feed her child despite all that, would be the emotion that dominated her face. Perhaps today, that's what mattered more to Kashmi than everything else that she saw in the mirror.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />
It was that sense of fullness which she wants to feel again. And that's what is making her restless and wanting to get back to her child soon. But today, work seems to engage her over time. Though she gets payed for the extra hours she spends, it looked really tough to carry on with the thoughts of her child that kept returning back to her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">She knew she was tired and her body was sore from all the hard work she did until then. A part of her told her she should stop and leave, but she didn't want to miss the over time pay. May be that could help her afford a set of new baby cloths. Or may be she could even afford a mosquito net to protect her dear one. After all it's just a couple of hours more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Before she could resolve the conflicts in her mind, her client stepped into the room. He was tall man with tough looks and dirty mustaches that dipped into his mouth as his lips parted to talk. "Well, I hope you are ready". Even before she perceived what has been just said, he pushed her into the couch and pounced on her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Under him, she slowly drifted to the world that fed on her raw flesh that helped her to feed her child in turn.</span></div>

On this tortuous lane of life,</div>
I serve all those baffled souls.<br />
<div>
Staying witness en this route,<br />
Let me warn you once or more.<br />
<br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Route that brought you until here,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Splits in two and takes you home.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Roads are not as plain as past;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Careful when you take your step.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Having traveled miles at ease,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This might look that simple too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In your quest for perennial light,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Things are more that you must know.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
One that lines up straight ahead,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Offers best of things in life.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Lit up bright in golden glow;</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Path is paved with softest stones.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Take that path and you reach home,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Walking through a deluxe route. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
As and when you approach there,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Things are more that you will note.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">

<div style="text-align: right;">
A light which led you all that while,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Dims off gradual as you move.</div>

The floor that caressed both your foot,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">

Reigned by herds of darker mind?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now this road that deviates off,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Offers worst of things in life.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dark as murky moonless night;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
Path is set in thorny floors.</div>
<br />
Take that path and you reach home,<br />
Daring all that comes on way.<br />
As an when you approach there,<br />
Things are more that you will note.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
A path that scares you with it's gloom,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lights up with your inner light.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Soles that pained on rugged floor,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Transform tougher step by step.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As you reach your destined place,</div>

Shining bright as dome of light?</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I'm about to finish my 24 hours duty. Will have to pull on till Dr X turns up and can return back to my quarters. Yesterday was hectic and not a single minute I could sleep last night. I had 4 patients in the ICU, 53 patients in the ward, 20 new admissions and 7 causality calls. God alone knows, how many hours it's going to take in handing over the previous night to Dr X.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My dear diary, I'm sad. A patient admitted yesterday for close monitoring and evaluation in our FMW is no more. I know, this is not the first time we are losing patients. I have not mentioned about any of them after the first month of my clinical years. But this incident was unique and heart breaking. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Last night, after my causality call at 12.05 am, I was walking through the corridor of Female Medical Ward (FMW) when I saw light in the last cubical. As I crossed the nursing station, the ward sister woke up from her midnight trance and joined me thinking I was on a midnight rounds.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I kept walking and as I approached closer to the light, I heard somebody singing. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Inside, I saw a lady in her late 40s, a patient, sitting on her bed and sewing designs on a piece of cloth and singing lullabies to herself. She was so absorbed at her work that she didn't seem to notice my presence. The nurse was more than happy to leave, when I signaled her to get back to her station.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I stood there for sometime listening and trying to decode her emotions at the same time. She looked worn out and there was some deep rooted sorrow lingering on her face. When I took a closer look, I could see tears running down her cheeks and could hear her weep between the lines she sung.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The moment she sensed my presence, she stopped singing, dropped the cloth on the bed and stood up. Wiping her tears with her pallu she threw a blank, curious stare at me. I smiled. </span>"thookkam varamteendhu, athinalathan, koncham neram ethavuthu pudichathu panneetu padukkalam nu irunden.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> (Didn't feel sleepy. Thought I'll do something I like and then go back to bed)", she said. I smiled again.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I continued to walk until I reached the foot end of the bed and stood there looking at the beautiful embroidery she had being sewing on that kerchief. I picked it up and ran my hand across the design and I complemented her for the work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For the first time since we met, she smiled and pulled out a chair and offered it to me. After introducing myself, I sat down on the chair and asked her to sit down pointing at her bed. She sat down and picked up the handkerchief and continued her work as we spoke. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">She was Krishnaveni. She was admitted by a colleague of mine for further evaluation of her minor skin disease that kept recurring. She had 3 children all well settled. In few minutes she was comfortable talking to me and started to respond back with a maternal attitude. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now, I really cared. I wanted to know what was bothering her. May be I could help her out. Psychologically or otherwise. May be she just needs to vent out her emotions and she may be alright.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I had already identified (unconsciously) her with someone very important in my life. I just experienced the phenomenon of <a href="http://www.medilexicon.com/medicaldictionary.php?s=countertransference" target="_blank">countertransference</a> at its peak. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't think much.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I just put it straight to her. Asked her if there was something that was bothering and if I can help. I left the option open by adding, "if it was too personal you can very well opt not to" . </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">She paused for a second and replied, "</span>Thambee, nee yen pulle mathiri. En pullakitte sollame vere yarikkitte nan en kashtathe solrathu? Yarukitteyavuthu pesanal than en manasu sukamayidum nu ninakkarein. En ooru selam. En veetill ungala mathiriye.. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> (You are like my son. If not to my son who else will I share my difficulties. I need to share this with some one, and I think that will calm me down... My house is in Selam. At home, just like you..)"</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The phone in the nursing station rang and the lady briefly paused. Before she could restart, the ward nurse screamed: "Sir, there is call from the ICU". "Bed 6- Mr Madhavan- Post MI has some new ECG changes. In-charge wants you there asap." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Without wasting any time, I told Krishnaveni that I'll be back in few minutes to listen to her and hurried out of the FMW. Just as I was about to step out, Kishnaveni said, "</span>Intha kerchief ungalukku. Innum koncham nerathilu ready ayidun. vandu vangittu ponge.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> (This kerchief is for you. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I'll finish working on it in few minutes.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Please do come and collect it later)."

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I rushed to the ICU pushing open the glass doors. The ICU staff read out the case sheet as I took a look at the ECG monitor. She was excellent at her work. She had already initiated the therapy measures. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I took over from her and continued with the management. After about 20 minutes, having completed all preliminaries, I gave a call over to the cardiologist and was waiting for the patient to settle down when I got another call from the ward. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was the same ward nurse over the phone. " Emergency in last cubical FMW - bed 27- patient collapsed." I handed charge of the ICU patient to the staff and rushed back to the ward. I knew where I had to go. If I'm not wrong it is the same patient, Krishnaveni, who I just met before the ICU call. I was hoping not.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When I reached there, Krishnaveni was already on the resuscitation table gasping for air. With all the gadgets, the pulse oxymeter, the BP cuff, the ECG leads, oxygen mask and 2 IV lines on her, I could hardly look at her. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I sent a call for the bystanders as the team was put on resuscitation mode. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I had the ward sister read out the history and the medication as I promptly initiated <a href="http://bigbitz.blogspot.in/2012/02/learn-cpr-and-save-lives-video.html" target="_blank">C.P.R</a>. "No medicines prescribed yet. Admitted for observation and evaluation only." she concluded.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The ward boys rushed in with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_cart" target="_blank">crash cart</a> and the staff loaded the syringes and handed over the tray. The technician standing next to me got the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defibrilator" target="_blank">DeFib</a> ready. With no delay we sprung into action. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I knew I had not much of time left. I worked out all the basic life support measures and then moved up to advanced life supports. After <span style="font-size: large;">few</span> minute<span style="font-size: large;">s</span> of vigorous try, things were pretty sure, that we were failing. I didn't <span style="font-size: large;">want</span> to give up. I kept giving her chest compression and breathers. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As I did, I looked at her face, the expression of unfinished conversation and the urge to tell me all her sorrows have not vanished yet. I could feel the motherly warmth in her blunt, fixed stare. With every thump I gave, I could sense her receding away from my grip. I started to feel heavy inside me. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I don't know for how long, but we kept trying. I had forgotten about all the conventional protocols on when to stop hoping and conclude resuscitation. I only had one thing in mind, I just didn't want to lose her to fate.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The ward sister, tapped on my shoulder and said, " sir, I'm sorry, we have lost her already". I paused for a while. I could feel <span style="font-size: large;">tear</span> trickle down my face and saw it drop down on her still chest. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Wiping off the sweat from my face with the folded sleeve of my shirt, </span><span style="font-size: large;">I took a last look at the lady who just left with a conversation unfinished. In her partly clenched fist was the handkerchief she had been sewing for me. That too left unfinished. </span></div>

<span style="color: purple;">[This is a piece of writing that I found in one of my old notebooks. Though I wrote it in pain, distress and hatred, today, this teaches me an invaluable lesson as a budding medical teacher. Sharing it with you all as it is. No offence for the words used. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple;">A note for the teacher in the context: If you haven't changed, and wish to change at-least now, do it, for you were a total failure then . Else stop teaching.] </span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjekwlGFh4dnwojrBNrL2CIh67plHd4D1Ugrp7Ym5eQyfsffQYD01ivJMq1-sKlEFcyPcVS1xWZRnqhDx1yEcd3XoNNprp188l4pjvQPBmXwgl49kCDldPH4nQ7nD_wwLREhjE37kZ05pv1/s1600/boy+punished.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjekwlGFh4dnwojrBNrL2CIh67plHd4D1Ugrp7Ym5eQyfsffQYD01ivJMq1-sKlEFcyPcVS1xWZRnqhDx1yEcd3XoNNprp188l4pjvQPBmXwgl49kCDldPH4nQ7nD_wwLREhjE37kZ05pv1/s200/boy+punished.gif" width="200" /></a><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My teacher was distributing answer sheets of a history test that I was sure to flunk. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I rose from my chair and hesitantly walked towards the teacher who by now was ready with a cane pulled out from the class cupboard. She has been famous in the entire school for her brutal cane lashings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"You good for nothing moron, How many times have I told you to read my notes? Just two easy questions on Indian history and you still can't reproduce the dates that I have taught. Put your hands out if you want me to spare your back."<span style="color: #ffd966;">...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It still pains.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
...<br />
My D E A R teacher,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wish I could tell you that you are a big torture. If you want to boost your so called intellectual muggylectual students, please do so. But that doesn't mean you can strike on my weakness for it. You are here to teach me and not prove that I'm a waste. If you really care, please give me the freedom to chose my way, what I need to study and assess me according to that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You teach history and it is dates that matter to you. It's strange and funny at the same time. I'm someone who calls up home to find my date of birth before filling a form. So how on earth would you expect me to remember the thousand and one dates that you mention as important.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why should I in the first place? You are not convincing enough when you tell me, " People who fail to read history are bound to repeat the mistakes", because it's dates that I can't remember and not history. So I'd take the risk and face the consequences than having to struggle memorizing those odd and even dates that made no sense to me</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To a below average performer in history, long note on Mahatma Gandhi and Non Violence Movement is all about the struggles a great man and a nation had to face to reject all physical violence on principle and concentrate on maintaining our own integrity. And it's on that I've written the entire eight paged answer sheet that you just threw on my face. Have you even bothered to read the whole thing?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If it's dates that still matter to you, go screw yourself up with it. I'm never going to read it. That's also a type of nonviolence- "passive resistance", in case you didn't know about it. It's not dates but thousands of selfless lives that are tagged to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My dear teachers! Please, for God's sake, sit back and introspect. Do you really need such amount of violence to preach this priceless principle of non-violence?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know you'll never get to read this. But having written this much, I feel a lot better and my butt doesn't pain anymore.</div>

Though I have my own doubts on how this post is going to matter in a democracy that spent <a href="http://in.news.yahoo.com/blogs/thewatercooler/price-rape-rs-42-103058328.html" target="_blank">Rs 42 as a compensation per rape victims</a> in the recent financial year, I'm posting this to express my deepest concerns and point out the root cause of this national curse. It's high time we act and ensure safety for women, children and the girls yet to be born.<br />

works for a foreign based porn company came down to India (wait. don't waste time Google'ing her name. She is known by a different screen name in the industry), we met at a friends
party and dined together. There, I

what I wanted to be. A porn star”</span><span style="color: orange;"> </span>I froze. She continued. </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">“3 months of real hard work and
finally it's complete and ready for release.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By then I had regained my senses and I realized that this is in fact real and happening.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">“Hey nut-case, speak up. You too
shocked like my dad and mom? ”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: inherit;">“Whaaaat? You told your parents too?”
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I blurted out in surprise.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">“Well ya, I did. I went home
yesterday. We sat together at coffee.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: inherit;">“And they still let you inside home?”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: inherit;">“This is strange. So they told you
can go do it again?”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“ Sort of. Dad was shocked</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and mom
almost fainted when I made it clear to them. After the initial
splatter, I could convince them that this is what I wanted to do in
life and I'm happy. And then they were Ok with it by dinner. It's all
my happiness that they care for.”</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There was nothing more I had to ask. I
congratulated her, still not sure if she was right or wrong with her
decision. Living in a country where we can't even think of such a
career, I'm in no position to question her for choosing a legal
career in a country that promote porn industry. And if I did, it will
be like telling <a href="http://www.nigella.com/" target="_blank">Nigella Lawson</a>, the queen of food porn, not to host the show because it's bad
to eat fatty food in my country.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Two weeks later, I got a courier
delivered at my door. It was form Liva. The accompanying note read, </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">“The grand release is due next week.
Mailing you a pre-release copy of my movie. Do let me know what you
think.” </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">That CD is still in my drawer, seal
unopened. Not that I don't like porn. It's just that I somehow can't
convince myself at watching her in it and I don't think I ever will
be able to. She knows it too.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From Liva's excitement, the mail and our subsequent meetings, one thing I could make out for sure: She likes
being a porn star. Apart from the fortune she earns, she is happy,
her family and fiancé have accepted her as a one. So there is no
reason why I should advise her against it. As long as she perceives
it as an achievement, I too will and I'm happy for her. After all
it's her life and she has every right to live it her way.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Coming back to the party, there is this cranky guy amongst us, whom we call </span><b style="font-family: inherit;"><u>Pappu</u></b><span style="font-family: inherit;">, who can ask
any question to any person at any odd time. And with Liva, he went
straight to the point.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: inherit;">“ How much do you take for one shot?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: purple;">“ 75K US dollars, how much ever that
is converted to Indian rupees.”</span> She replied (thinking he wanted to
know her remuneration per movie)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Pappu pulled out a pen & started to
calculate on a tissue paper. Counting the number of zeros from right
to left, he let out his desperation: <span style="color: #b45f06;">“Oh! I cant even think of it.”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He slowly left our table and never
returned back. Later that evening, I over-heard him speak to himself, </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: inherit;">“I must either control my wild desires or I must change my career. Can't even earn enough in 5
years to afford her for a night. Oh God, please let the dollar value
fall.”</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was obvious that not just Pappu, but each and every one there who knew Liva's profession was trying their best for a chance to <i>dip their fork into her plate</i>. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Though there were times that I felt uncomfortable when a few crossed the limit with their words, she eased me by laughing at the dirty sarcasm. She tried to give the amount of respect they were due though in reality, they didn't </span>diverse<span style="font-family: inherit;"> any.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But why? Why did they think she would sleep with them for
money in the first place? When she had the
courtesy to respect all men present there why couldn't they do it too? My friend is neither a </span>commodity<span style="font-family: inherit;"> for sale nor a </span>prostitute, but a lady who pursued her dreams. She definitely deserved a better treatment.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was one of those <b>summer evening classes</b> we attended at school, for additional tuition and better scores. Unlike the routine, my session got over early and I was <b>waiting for my friends</b> to start our evening cricket. The wait seemed to be very long. Secretly, through the window, I signaled my friends in the class that I would meet them at the regular place and walked towards the kindergarten block of the school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our school <b>kindergarten block</b>, being isolated from the main building is perhaps the most silent, less illuminated and less frequented area in the evening. The place had all the qualities for a bunch of high secondary boys to chose as their <b>regular meeting place</b> and so we did. It was almost our <b>exclusive territory</b> after class hours. In addition, I had another emotional attachment to that place. To lie down on the slides at kids play area there and dream endlessly looking at the beautiful sky was one of the favorite evening hobbies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I walked through the path sandwiched between a pair of narrow lawns, past the science laboratory to the entrance of the Kindergarten section. At once I saw a movement in the kids play area. Somebody was already there. <b>An intrusion</b> into our territory, that too at this time of the day, has never happened before. I was curious and angry at the same time. I moved closer with an intention to drive them out of our private land.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I walked closer to the interloper, I was <b>dumbstruck</b> with what I saw. Sitting on the merry-go-round, was a <b>gorgeous girl</b>, with the most striking features that have ever impressed me. Like a child who just witnessed a magician’s masterpiece, my jaw dropped. She was alone and deeply absorbed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice my presence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As she sat <b>elegant on the merry-go-round</b>, resting her arms and her delicate fingers gently gripping the iron bar, she looked as alluring and tender as a blooming bud of lotus. Her beautiful face, under the thin moon light appeared as innocent as that of a new born baby. Her prominent nose and luscious lips dazzled with its sensuality. With undeniable charm emanating, no man would ever want to take eyes off her face.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://explicitid.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/kake.jpg?w=300&h=193" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="" border="0" class="aligncenter" height="255" src="http://explicitid.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/kake.jpg?w=300&h=193" title="kake" width="400" /></span></a><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gracefully, she lowered her right leg to the ground and gave a mild thrust to move the wheel. When she did that, her body arched to reveal her physique and her <b>perfect curves of muliebrity</b>. The sight sent vibes down my nerves kindling every single hair follicles to rise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As the merry-go-round started to move faster, I could make out the excitement on her face. Soon her supple lips widened to blossom into a vibrant smile. May be it was her thoughts that made her smile. But to me it was a <b>smile</b> that that touched the bottom of my heart, <b>soothing</b> and <b>tranquilizing</b>. Her cherubic face, seraphic smile and serene expression, like the placid waters of a lake, would calm down even an extremely traumatized heart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The more I looked at her, I felt more <b>susceptible</b> as though surrendering myself to some <b>magical spells</b>. With a new sense of well being flooded in my mind, I wished the world paused at that point for I could <b>spend the rest of my life in that hypnotic trance of her angelic beauty</b>.I don’t know how long I stood there in the empty corner of the school, mesmerized, a few meters away from the most beautiful girl I ever saw on earth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I knew it won’t be nice to get caught ogling at a girl in a place like this, but <b>I couldn't stop myself</b>. My mind had already drifted to a fascinating world of exquisite delicacy . Like in a dream, I started to feel light, I could sense my body dissolving into the thin air. Finally, I even had a doubt if I really existed then. If it was a dream, I prayed not to be woken up at all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime, she <b>surfaced back from her deep thoughts</b> and I looked at my side with a blank stare. Initially she didn’t spot me for I was at a darker corner behind the peer tree. But it didn’t take long for her to sense my presence. In an instant her expression changed. Perhaps <b>she felt insecure</b>. She hardly knew I was not there to harm her, but merely struck by her beauty.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once she realized that there was no way she could escape from my prying eyes, she stopped the Merry-go-round abruptly, stepped down and <b>walked towards the main block</b>. As though escaping from a haunted castle, I saw her turn back inquisitively to my side. I didn’t move. Not because I didn’t want to, I simply couldn’t.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As the golden glow of the lawn lamps bathed her on the way, she looked like a <b>skillfully sculptured masterpiece that had come to life</b>. She moved fast, even then with such grace that my heart skipped a beat with every soft step she took. I stood there spell bound until she disappeared from my view.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was the first time I ever saw her, even then my <b>heart felt so empty and distressed</b> as she walked out of sight. I could sense a bewildering array of emotion engulf me with my mind fighting to reach a harmony with my hormones.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was feeling so odd having missed this pretty face earlier until another possibility struck my mind. She <b>could even be a visitor</b>. In that case I may not get to meet her again. The very thought of it being that way was afflicting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not willing to take a chance, I <b>hurried to the main building</b> she just entered, hoping to meet her one more time before she leaves. I was determined to talk to her, ask her name at least. And if she didn’t mind I would get her contacts too.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would have just crossed the path to science lab which is on my way, I heard a voice <b>calling out my name from behind</b>. I didn’t want to stop. But the sound felt so familiar and authoritative that I briefly paused. He called me again. Oh God! That was my Principal, who by now was standing just behind me. Having no choice, I turned around.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With him, I stood <b>restless</b>, partly listening, shifting myself from one feet to another. Every time I felt a pause in his speech, I nodded my head in acceptance and tried all that I could to slip away. But nothing worked, for he was determined to complete what he had begun. Typical army man!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He spoke to me for what I felt, the longest 15 minutes of my life, about the new responsibilities I have with the upcoming school event. The moment he was done with the percepts, without wasting any precious time, <b>I hied down </b>to the school building.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With a little hope left to spot that pretty face again, I went around the entire building, and then the entire campus. Until that day, I never knew I could survey the entire 3 story, 3 block school building in less than 10 minutes. I could feel my <b>heart pounding</b> inside my chest wall, partly because of the running and partly because of the <b>foreseen anticlimax</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">From a distance I saw somebody who looked similar, standing at the school entrance. I was too far away that I could hardly confirm if it was her. Like an athlete in his winning lap, I ran to the entrance. To my misfortune, she stepped out and <b>disappeared</b> into the back seat of the car parked in front of the gate. Within seconds, the car sped away even before I reached halfway.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To me it felt like the <b>end of everything</b>. Was it frustration, sorrow or anger that dominated in my mid? I don’t have an answer. Like a child who lost his best toy, my mind wept, but in silence. I tried my best to make myself believe that I would meet her again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With a heavy heart, <b>I walked towards KG section</b> where my friends would meet me. As usual, I found myself reclining on the slide; this time not staring at the sky but at the empty merry-go-around on which one of the most baffling reverie was staged.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I’m waiting outside a <b>public official's chamber</b> to get a document countersigned. Those of you who had an experience will know the agony and distress I'm currently undergoing. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In fact, it is not that bad as in the past. The officer who is about to sign my document is a responsible man and never keeps anything pending for the next day. That was a relief.</span></div>

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">If you were with me today, you would see <b>172 people </b>(yes, I counted) waiting outside this office with me since morning. All of them have taken <b>a day off from work</b> and are here for some valid reasons.</span><br />

Mighty was her reel of fame, <br />
The noble ladies flexed in shame.<br />
Men could only long to claim, <br />
Was she wild a lioness tame.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
When he tried his luck at fate,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Far she fled with hurting slate.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
He did urge to opt her mate, </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
As she rooted deep in crate. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<br />
All though he did turned out quip,<br />
Tougher grew his lusty gripe.<br />
No more could she take him snip,<br />
The best she could she tried to slip.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
On that murky winter night, </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
She went yielding light and bright. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
When they merged as one and tight, </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
They left no more time to blight. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Gaping was their land of ayre,<br />
As though things were all that fair.<br />
That means not that they can pair,<br />
But she made it smart and spare.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Lovely was her despair moan, </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Every time he pushed the horn. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
They kept riding hard and lone, </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
As though they had no more home. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, I accompanied an old <b>friend</b> to the beach. He is “<b>meeting a special person</b>” (that is the exact phrase he used) after a long gap of 10 years. She studied junior to him at pre-college, and after she got transferred, this is their first meeting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My <b>friend resides a bit far</b>, around 4 hours drive from this town. Today morning he drove all the way to attend an event of 2 long sessions spanning 5 hours each. He chose this place because he knew she lived here and wanted a reason to come here. Though <b>meeting her was itself a reason</b> with much greater validity, he did not want it to appear so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When he asked me to accompany him, I was not sure if I should really do it. But since this is one among the very few things he asked me, I didn’t want to deny it. So I came along to <b>witness the reunion.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Exactly at 4.50 we reached here and we have been <b>waiting</b> for the past 20 minute or so. When I look at his face, I can clearly make out how <b>harsh his day was</b>. He did not seem to possess a third of the energy that he usually exudes. Ever since I know him, he has an excellent quality to <b>contagiously sprout out quantum of energy</b> to the people around him. Today, <b>he is all drained</b> <b>out</b> and it feels like being here with somebody else. Offering to meet her on a tight packed day like this itself reveals how <b>damn important she</b> <b>is</b> in his life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">From the <b>flashback</b> he narrated on our way, there were times when he did wait like this years ago just to see her. He said it was almost a routine and he lost count on <b>hours spent waiting</b>. It was on the second month of their meeting when he waited for her at the school gate to show her his arm on which he got her name scribbled with lasting <b>tattoo</b>. Unfortunately she did not turn up on time to see it and was <b>caught</b> by his teacher. He had to get that erased with the help of his chemistry tutor before the news reached the principal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He seemed to be overjoyed when he explained how irresolute was their <b>propinquity</b>. Every tea breaks, he would stand at a particular place to <b>meet her</b>, making it so natural, for others won't get a clue. And as and when she moved around him in full glory, they would exchange <b>quick furtive glances</b>. When he said that I could see his tired eyes glitter with excitement.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Though <b>his heart was craving</b>, <b>nothing was ever spoken</b> about it between them. Those days, he neither had the courage to tell her all that he felt nor did he express any emotions completely. He always thought he would get a <b>better opportunity</b> to do it, wanting more time for his thoughts to mature. Only little did he knew that she would move out of sight soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One dreadful day, she was withdrawn from the institute and was being <b>shifted to a farther land</b>. This happened all of a sudden and it was too late when the news reached him. That instant he rushed to meet her, but she had already stepped out of the campus with her mother.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He was lucky enough to secretly <strike>escort</strike> follow her and her mother to the bus bay. After she got into the bus, he stood behind a car stealing the last few peeks before his <b>love story ended</b>. As the bus started to move, he felt left alone. His heart started to feel heavier with all the unexpressed emotions he had in stock for a life time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He stood there until he felt it impossible to hold back his tears.The moment he felt a drop trickle down his cheek, he turned back. Like an blind mad man, he ran through the crowd and across the road until he reached spot where he usually met her. The rest of his school days, he would come down and wait there during the breaks <b>reminiscing and waiting</b> for his amateur love story.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With lots of things untold and emotions unexpressed a long time ago, he is meeting her again. But <b>today</b>, he feels sad, for he has <b>nothing to tell her</b> and nothing to express. <b>He believes that it would make no sense if he spoke out all that an 18 year old had to say at the age of 28.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Though he <b>treasures</b> every single thing in that relationship, he has decided to <b>let go</b>. He said; “<b>From tomorrow, she is going to be lost in the fast flowing river of this busy life. But today, evening is for her</b>, just to untangle any tight knots if at all had ever existed. A <b>non traumatizing conclusion</b> for both.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I did not ask him why, for I now know what she is to him.</b> If he chose not to tell her, he will definitely have a valid reason. My only prayer for now is “God, give my friend the energy to elude his emotions when they meet."</span><br />

I don’t know why it’s celebrated and who celebrates
it. But all I know: it’s all about breast and hence this post is going to be on
breast, BREAST CANCER in specific. Now that I have your attention, before I share the link to the topless lady's picture, I'll talk a little about few myths that commonly prevail about breast cancer and then move on to the current breast cancer screening recommendations.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, let me tell you about my <b>loss</b>. I lost my wisdom at around 11.10 in the morning that too around 40 km away from home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The procedure began at 11 in the morning. The <b>shot of the local</b> that knocked down the sensation on my right part of my mouth including the tip of my tongue, made me sense nothing other then a feeling of somebody trying to stick a tooth pick between my teeth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhITKQiMc4Kqx2672cbC9gzlDT_ZLeR1IwKGz66Y1A3xtvWtF7hBqoyxhvMNTXvPUBujiy7qbflA2OxvxpZxuN7vR1v6kWgvven7ju41d7EAXQlsdmMQo14Sn4Uhbt3pdp_5FYSW_ZvqGyJ/s1600/images-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhITKQiMc4Kqx2672cbC9gzlDT_ZLeR1IwKGz66Y1A3xtvWtF7hBqoyxhvMNTXvPUBujiy7qbflA2OxvxpZxuN7vR1v6kWgvven7ju41d7EAXQlsdmMQo14Sn4Uhbt3pdp_5FYSW_ZvqGyJ/s320/images-3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The final two minutes, the time when the doc manipulated the tooth with pressure, I nearly <b>screamed out aloud</b>. I even thought I should just <b>jump out</b> of the table and run. But I knew there was no choice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The verbal anesthesia he instilled, held me on to the chair. Every time his hands made a move I felt it deep in my jaw bone as if it’s going to split into two. Finally at the end of the second minute, I heard a “<b>click</b>” from some where near my right ear and that was it. He changed his instrument and with that he held my wisdom tooth on the right side and it was <b>out in seconds</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I’ve had a dental extraction, that too the last molar which is supposed to be extremely painful post operative. I’m here <b>blogging</b>, absolutely painless (or at least I’m not ready to accept the pain) despite deliberately skipping the analgesic that I m prescribed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">May be it’s his <b>expertise</b> in the procedure that has made it possible. Or is it just because of the <b>confidence</b> that I have in him that’s masking the pain? </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But whatever be the reason, I m happy for having lost a problematic tooth with just two minutes of pain and discomfort. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />So dear 2012, here I come in few hours into your arms without the so called wisdom, that hurt my cheeks for nearly a month. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Wish you all A Very Happy New Year!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When you read the title you must not presume that I’m an expert physicist. Though physics has always fascinated me, I chose a career which do not require physics in the main stream. So don’t expect this post to enlighten you with laws and theorems and authentically prove the facts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Last year I was sharing a rented apartment with a friend. My land lady was so generous that she let us use all her furniture and her home appliances. Among them where an beautiful office table with a thin glass mounted atop wooden plank. The plank was a bit old with uneven shallow area in the middle. But the glass masked the defect and I was using it as a reading table.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I was using a HTC windows mobile which I had forgotten to switch on after a meeting that day. So, once I reached home, I pressed the power on button and placed it on the middle of the table and was keenly waiting for it to boot. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The moment a welcome tone was heard, I was stunned by what I saw. The glass on which the phone rested, split into two starting from beneath the speaker. I could clearly see the crack appearing and then extending across along the entire breath of the glass.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now that was fascinating. I called my room mate and explained what happened. He gave me strange looks as though I was cooking up something. Though not convinced, after seeing me struggle to persuade, he offered to believe me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I called a few of my friends, whom I thought might give me a valid explanation. Like my room mate, many of them didn’t believe what I said, some started laughing and some put the entire blame on the glass.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Then I moved on to the Internet and here is one of the videos that clarified things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/17tqXgvCN0E?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Internet sources say : When the frequency of the sound is equal or above the natural resonant frequency of the glass, it can break the glass. It is said that opera singers can break a wine glass by singing!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It was 10.00 when I reached. The bank was just open and the
transactions were about to be started. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The machine with a dirty
yellow button spat out TOKEN NO:55 on to my hand. I picked up the form
to file a DD application and sat down on the waiting chair. It was nice to see all
the 15 multipurpose
counters open and getting ready to start serving.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In short, out of the 15 counters
assigned, only 5 will function. That is one third of the total number.
Still, that doesn't matter much to me. 5 counters and if each takes 5
minutes, my turn will come in an 1 hour or so. I got back to
filling the DD application form.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">This is something that
amused me a few minutes back when I Googled the word -SPERM-.
Now, if you are the one like me who stretches imagination to every
possible extent, might have already thought I had a naughty ;-)
agenda. But no, this is nothing of that sort, and for those of you
who thought you are about to read an <b>adults only</b> post, I'm
sorry to disappoint.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHbD-S4s0I27gl_w7-oKfWPVxn1EbgGQFZWEH6rzH47og3msFbuOODDdoDrg5t2DX-ej9hdtG8J8N4mnkPxwYLCtCoyAqin-05-_RSTIulx6uHo430MkY4Fsd8vRcmVj4iUrp1oVr7ziDj/s1600/sperm-bike1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHbD-S4s0I27gl_w7-oKfWPVxn1EbgGQFZWEH6rzH47og3msFbuOODDdoDrg5t2DX-ej9hdtG8J8N4mnkPxwYLCtCoyAqin-05-_RSTIulx6uHo430MkY4Fsd8vRcmVj4iUrp1oVr7ziDj/s320/sperm-bike1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Without “beating around the bush", let me
come to the point straight. Ever heard of a sperm bike before? I didn't, until my image search for use in a lecture slide on infertility brought me to this picture on the left.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Now wait, you need not imagine much on the possibility of an ovum car waiting at the other end to receive the sperm bike. Things are simpler. They only transport it from your "place" to "some other place" for further use or storage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">If you "arose" in a place like Denmark or Seattle,
your sperm would have had this unique opportunity to enjoy great worldly
comfort and pleasures. You only have to make a call and
notify your willingness to donate it. Once you are "equipped, after a call", a sperm
bike will be at your door to collect your load<b>. </b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Isn't that a true luxury like getting your <strike>meat</strike> meal delivered
at home by just dialing the Mc Donalds (order your 'meal' and get an
assured 'deal'!). I'm happy they didn't follow the fire force protocol. If that was the case, every time there is "fire " we might have someone knocking on the door.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">While the biker "rides back", your V.I.P will be swimming in the comfort of the nitrogen based
cooling compartment of the bike (the head) getting prepared for the do
or die competition just ahead. Mean while the entire town will be glaring at the fast moving as though just emerged out of "a tunnel" sperm bike. In simple words: the sperm gets a royal ride like a national player on his way to the word cup. Isn't that the best you
can offer to your fellow, which in most cases is wasted in a rubber bag
and then flushed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">I know you are curious about "the
process involved in the middle", after they arrive and before they
leave. So am I. Nowhere do they mention about<b> </b>the “alternate”
method<b> </b>of collection. Perhaps they have better a way for it too,
depending on the “skill” of the biker (do we have an option to
chose?).</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">But where on earth is the sperm a
scarcity for much hard-work to go into "aggressive collection" and banking on a
large scale? If it was for ovum, you could at least say there is only 400 of them
in the entire life span of a lady. In a man's case it's in millions
per climax, competing head on for the one soul-mate arriving once a
month. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Things are not that simple for the hero as it "appears". To qualify fit and be a sought after star, it needs a perfect owner. If it seems to be a product of a man with clean
medical history, impressive personality trait, interests, looks
(in his childhood) et al., he makes it to the “ring” for the
finals. If not, back to square one, into the drain. The only difference: here someone
else pushes the flush button.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Well as of now, I'm only concerned about
when this thing is going to ply on our roads? Are we going to have a sperm donation campaign as well? I'm eagerly waiting
with my<b> "</b>phone receiver" in hand.<b> </b>I can not stand a scam<b> </b>on
this one like we had with organ donation!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">NB: If you can find a deeper meaning/different interpretation for those in "inverted commas", it is pure coincidental and your imagination. I hope that clears it all. :)</span><br />
