The Life and its randomness

So my sis lopa sent me link to a fellow blogger who used to read my posts and that made me go back to my blog and re-read things i had written and it reminded me of my love for writing... It's hard to get the time to sit down and write a proper post these days but I think I can may be write down some short posts. Ever since I started my residency two months back, I have been having so many awesome experiences that I feel it would be nice to write down some of them. My post would probably not be well scripted, wouldn't have good pictures but i ll try and note down things I experiences just so that one day I can read these posts and remember these days.

So, so much happened in my life since lat time I blogged. In summery, I somehow managed to pass out of medical school, spent a lot of time traveling for educational purposes mostly, matched into residency in Philadelphia and somehow managed to (okay may be not by choice) stay single.

Yes, I love my Job, I like philadelphia, some say its kiladelphia but i don't really think it's that bad. Somehow since I started residency, there have been so many funny and heart wrenching experiences, and I love every bit of it. Hospital is an interesting place when you look at how people react to different situations. There was a old lady who the moment she woke up from unconsciousness started flirting with me, and then there was a guy who practically fought with me regarding why did we went ahead with a life saving procedure for his dad without his permission. Hospital also provides you the opportunity to witness some the greatest untold love stories- be it a guy who was married to his wife, a patient of acromegaly (which would definitely break down a relationship based on physical attraction),since 60 years and refused to leave her side and at the same time honoring her wishes of no invasive procedures and letting her go peacefully; or a son who was right beside his mom trying to talk to her and keep her comfortable 24*7 when her mom had no idea of what was going on and was just too afraid of being in hospital; or a 94 year old women silently sitting there holding her husband's hand as he traveled to a better place.

Personally, my life has become quite eventful as well. One day I offered to bring tea for my resident whom I really liked as I was going to cafeteria; for the reasons still unknown to me I got him a cup of coffee with a tea bag in it and people still pull my leg for inventing 'Cotea'.
Have you guys seen this video - how UPS deliveries actually work .
The same thing was going on with me and fedex. They would just leave the notes and I would never catch them. So one day they buzzed my home and then when I answered nobody replied but I saw fedex truck out my window and I immediately ran after it and caught him on the road and asked him to deliver packages, I got calls from two of my colleagues living in the same apartment asking if everything was okay, but it was worth it.

I know this is very disorganized and people would probably not enjoy reading it and I apologize for it but as I said, this post serves the purpose of diary more then the blog.

So this was about me, those who read this till the end- I would love to know how have you been?
