I had a lecture on Nephrology today - at 9.30 am on a Sunday morning . The Doctor asked this -
How will you decide whether you patient is drinking excess water to combat excessive urine loss [ eg - in Diabetes insipidus ] , or losing excess urine due to excessive water intake [ eg - psychogenic polydypsia ] ?
Reminded me about that world famous PJ -
Did the chicken come first or the egg ?
[ We got the correct answer anyway ]

The Winds of Time
Today we had a celebration of my sister's 10th std results - she scored 89% in ICSE . To top this all , my entire family joined us , which included both my nieces , aged 7 and 8 yrs respectively . The only reason why the rest of my zhingbang didn't come was because these kiddos are in USA .
Looking at my niece drawing her hand through her hair to keep all pretty , made me remember of the time when I had held her in my arms when she was a newborn baby - and how she had pee'd all over my favourite shirt . Somehow even then I was a lil proud ...It felt like only yesterday .....
I also remembered playing cards in the other sister's house when she had waddled in - disgruntled at 9 months of her pregnancy... and how we had all laughed.. and how my cousin sis who happens to be only 5 years elder had remarked ; " Yuck! One day I will walk in like that too , all exasperated , with a huge belly , and you all are going to be sitting here playing cards and laughing over my fate " . The same sister wasn't here with us today as she was buying her engagement rings along with her fiance .....
If you happen to be a medicine student [ I give this example as it happens to take an abnormal amount of time required to finish a measly bachelors ..] , you will understand my sentiments when I say that , studying for MBBS is like sitting in a train which hardly moves . And you see all your friends zooming ahead of you on speedbikes .... Suddenly you notice that your family and friends have grown up and seem to be going ahead of you ... Thats when you realise that that train you were sitting in - Well Its Moving ! And its moving very fast !!!
Writing this reminded me of a blogpost which I came across - poor guy had written " I'm just 25 . Where did everyone go ?! "
We understand .......

The Rain in Spain is Falling in the Plains
of Mumbai - finally ......
We are getting our first rains here right now , and its thundering too . I'm cooped up in my room , chatting with Bhabhi and updating this thing .....
There will be hot cups of tea , with books - all snuggled up in one cosy corner of the room , and maybe once I might go crazy enough to walk through the rain without bothering about the umbrella ... There IS something quite magical about a walk through the rains - drenched to the core and all that ... and I think its only us 'kindred spirits' of Anne's yore who can identify that fairydust .....
And If he reads my blog [ Its the 21st century after all , even if the feelings behind my words are ancient ] , maybe a walk along a lonely mystique road , with a firm hand griping mine ........
