MAUSAM; what I have learned?

Things I have learned from the movie MAUSAM:
1) In India, you can drive a car having the driver's seat in the left side..but u have 2 be in a village of Punjab.

2) Anyone in love should have an e-mail id so that, the change of address won't affect future communications.

3) Never trust a person who had loved you unilaterally.. he/she may burn some of your important letters/documents.

4) It is possible to recover from a brachial plexus injury, provided you save someone's life from a great height.

5) When you see a lady with a baby in train, it doesn't necessarily signify that the lady is the mother of the baby.

6) It is possible to watch the consequences of 92 Mumbai blast, Kargil war, WTC blast, Gujurat hindu-muslim riot in a single movie.

7) Even though you are having holidays, you should avoid watching movies like MAUSAM. 140 minutes are too much..

HUSSAIN & THE DONKEYS

Born in Chennai, raised in London. He has a mediocre test batting average of 37.18 & a poor ODI average of 30.28. Still he over estimates himself.

'' We all know that there are 3-4 good fielders in Indian side, but still they have few DONKEYS in the team''-- This is one of the worst comments of his life.

This bastard works as a commentator for sky sports & he is one of the worst commentators this planet has ever seen.

                       I think this is enough to identify this man. He is non other than NASSER HUSSAIN.  When the standard of English cricket team was similar to that of Indian Hockey team, Mr Nasser bloody Hussain was behaving like a true gentleman. Nobody was paying attention to his comments. He was just another person in the commentary box. But now England has thrashed India by 4-0 in test series & now they are the ranked 1 test team in the world. So it is obvious that it has resurrected the arrogance of Hussain. He is not the only English player who has behaved in such a disgusting way but definitely he is the one who has crossed the limits.

Parthiv Patel misses a difficult catch of Kevin Pieterson & this man comments that Indian side has few DONKEYS !!! Someone has WRONGLY said that 'Cricket is a gentlemen's game'. Because, in the presence of commentators like Hussain it is no longer a gentlemen's game. We shouldn't forget that 2 years back Indian team also snatched the rank-1 spot from the Aussies but after that I have never heard any hostile comment from Indian commentators. If I am not wrong India has produced a lot of high quality commentators like Ravi Shastri, Sanjay Manjerekar, Harsh Bhogle. Even the sperms of all the existing cricketers of this planet will admit the fact that Indian commentators are far better than Hussain. In the field of cricket commentary, if Ravi Shastri is Anjelina Jolie then Hussain is just inferior to Rakhi Sawant. I can't understand what has prompted Hussain to use the word DONKEY for some of the fielders. It may be the arrogance after getting the crown on rank-1 or may be the desire to get quick publicity as a commentator !!? The way the ex-English players are behaving, it seems as if they are participating in a reality show. Somehow I feel Nasser Hussain & Michel Vaughn are best suited to be parts of BIG BROTHER. If Hussain has a little bit of self respect, he must apologize for this thing as soon as possible. He must not forget that his blood is of Indian origin.

           I can't understand why the BCCI & ICC are not taking any action against Hussain. Ex- Australian player Dean Jones called Hashim Amla of south africa a TERRORIST & on the very next day, he was sacked from his job as a commentator. Now it is time for sky sports to take some action against this pugnacious personality. At the same time team India has to show that they don't deserve that tag by displaying  some extraordinary fielding in the upcoming one day series. Only performance can silent those rusty & arrogant critics.

NEGATIVES OF BEING A MEDICAL STUDENT

Final MBBS professional exam was just knocking at the door. It is just like YAMRAJ forcefully taking someone to hell who wants live more. On the other hand it is one of those exams in which the more you read, the more you'll feel unprepared. The Sachins & Laras of my medical college were so depressed because of the exam that it is better not to ask about the mental status of one of the Jadejas of my college( myself). I was mentally sick & physically weak. So to avoid unnecessary distractions I decided to change my phone number & ultimately gave it to only my parents & close friends.

from my new no to my mom: ''Hi mom, I have changed my no & this is the new one. Please don't give this to anyone. I seriously want no distractions as the pressure to perform is killing me''

Mom: OK, why should I give?? You study as intensely as you can. Take care bye.


After 2 HOURS after that conversation:

Mom: Hey Gem, Alok uncle was asking for your number. actually he has some joint problems & he wants to consult a Rheumatologist of your college. So I have given your new number. 

Me: Whattttttttt...? mom, it is exam time. how can you do that?? 

Mom: please help him, service to mankind is service to god !! He needs you badly. He has been very nice to us. He loves you so much. Isn't it unfair not to give him your contact number??


                   After 30 minutes, I got a call from Alok uncle & the very next day I had to sacrifice nearly 2.5 hours for his consultation, lab investigations etc. Each minute wasted in that day was making me feel as if a vampire is sucking each ml of my blood ( of course HIV negative). & the worst part was, I had never seen Alok uncle before.Though according to my mom, he loves me very much, for me he was just a patient from Pluto. This is one of the biggest worries for a medico. you have to sacrifice your much needed time for some of the relatives from other planets. Thousands of patients come to hospital without having any of their relatives enrolled to the same medical college. But I don't understand why the super distant relatives desperately seek the useless privilege from us.They usually seek consultation from super duper specialists like a dentist extracting the premolar teeth of right side only or a doctor who treats only the arthritis of middle finger of right hand. Ironically, the Pluto relatives expect us to know more medical facts than the reputed doctors. If we don't help, we'll be tagged as arrogant/irresponsible... if we help, we will end up in losing precious times. I am not saying that we shouldn't help but to that during exams is just like asking a Spanish matador to kill his bull. So one should always try to enter a medical college out of own state or at least own city.


                              How do you feel when >99% of your friends earn 4-5 lakhs per annum from the Infosys/Wipro/TCS etc & you still unwillingly have romance with books having 4 to 5 thousand pages in the library?? No one can admit that he/she has an orgasmic feeling for the above reason. Friends working at mentally cool atmospheres, enjoying weekends at the McDonalds/KFC & posting get together pictures in Facebook really evokes a little bit of jealousy. It doesn't matter how often you say 'Doctors are second only to God', 'No profession is better than the medical profession'', you are bound to feel the heat once your non-medico friends establish themselves before you do so.  On weekend we tend to study hard & at the same time you can well imagine the other extreme of enjoyment by settled friends. So seriously it is a mental drawback for medicos. The enjoyment, the freedom, quick money from 21st year of life onwards of a non-medico always disturbs a medico's fragile mind.


                 Here comes the biggest drawback. I have seen few of my friends suffering from this one. But to be a victim of this trouble, you need to seriously in love with someone. If you are in the final year of MBBS, your approximate age must be 23+ & must of Indian girls get married at an average age of 25 years. From my research, it is evident that most of the medicos fall in love with their batch mates irrespective of their courses. To be very frank, if you are in love with your batchmate and you are in final year, you have to face the pressure of getting married early. You can well imagine the other sweet activities after marriage that can have an ill effect on studies. I have seen few of my seniors who have surrendered to this pressure. Ironically, if you haven't completed a PG, then nobody'll prefer you as a doctor. So those true lovers always get sandwiched between pressure of marriage & pressure of PG. But to my knowledge such things are rare in a non medico's life. Nobody will point a finger even if they have only one thing called B.tech. They enter college & feel like being a part of a Rajnikanth movie but medicos enter the college & feel like being a part of a Tushar Kapoor/Uday Chopra movie.

           Even with the aforementioned drawbacks, it is still a highly prestigious profession. Just blogging 3-4 drawbacks will never reduce the charm of the subject. I hope pure fans of medical science won't mind this blog. If we do well, every profession offers us the lift to the zenith.
