Angry!
5 05 2006Okay so I hadn't planned my first "personal" post for my post to be all about spitting venom. But this is how, I guess , its meant to be. Am just back from another of my monster exams (for the uninitiated, it was a neuroanatomy-locomotor combo exam) and am pissed as hell. So after cramming up every flipping nerve, artery, vein, muscle, joint, meniscus, ligament, bony landmark in the limbs; every ascending, decussating, descending tract; every goddamn dorsal, ventral, medial, lateral, cranial nucleus, every gyrus and sulcus of the cerebral cortex;every tiny branch of sinuses draining and carotids bathing the brain; every lesion and every clinical test —you have an exam that's more puzzling than the Killer Sudoku.
Its just bloody unfair. When you know you really "know" your stuff but the examiner does one better and plonks one trick question on another. Oh well… I guess I could whine like there's no tomorrow. No point. Am glad its over. Worried as hell for the end of years now which'll have all of today's + everything else done in the year. Which is approximately some 90 lectures (average 50 new concepts and words in each), 40 practicals, 50 PBL scenarios… hope I make through that. Phew!
At the end of the day though, the real charm of medicine is making more and more sense of the machine de ultimate-The human body as every year passes. Wow! One look at the larger scheme of things and I feel much calmer.
Now with one more exam down, I should have some time to post my movie reviews. Saw Ice Age 2 on my birthday. Crap. Then, moved to a new place and watched a lot of Bollywood. Malamaal Weekly-good. Taxi No 9211-very good. Humko Deewana Kar Gaye-hara kiri. Salaam Namaste (5th watch, kindly note)-adorable movie. Dil To Pagal Hai (~70th watch)-Madhuri is timeless.
Dying to watch Mission Impossible 3 and Fanaa. And X-3. And of course, The Da Vinci Code.
More later.
“neuroanatomy-locomotor combo” quite a mouthful! Wouldn’t wanna give that exam, even for my life :-).
I understand you’ve become an expert in human anatomy after going through so much rigamorale. And no thanks, I am uninterested in knowing about every tissue underarm or in my “neuroanatomy-locomotor combo” :-).
Salaam Namaste, 5th time!! One serving was more than enough for me. Are you by any chance doing extra curricular study of every pigment of Preity’s skin?
Awaiting your reviews on so many movies!

LOL… Thanks for reading this rather confusing post. I say confusing coz I started off in a really bad mood. Wanted to rant all through. But just about midway, I just didn’t think it was worth it. So much for post-exam catharsis.
Salaam Namaste is one of the choicest few really enjoyable romcoms post-DCH. Pigment?!?! No sir. I am much too shallower when it comes to pretty people like Preity. My way would be a thorough examination of Zinta’s dimples, grooves, fissures and curves (wink wink). And then a thesis on the same. LOL
Cheers!

Whoa - exams and all that - man, u’ve been studying medicine for more than years I know you now - abbe, doctor kab banega! Afterall, I am awaiting some free checkups here
Hehehe - u are the “only” guy I know who liked Salaam Namaste! Man - whoa! Awaiting your reviews man, u oughttta do it faster!

Its a long race to get the title man! Getting ahead in medicine is so tortoise-like compared to the quick and dynamic fields like IT and management LOL. I have barely started (you’ll find me saying this even after graduation).
Should be up with my regular multi-review post after I am done with MI3 which I saw today.
Cheers!
Karan
You have my fullest sympathy. Jeez, you guys study half of your lives I feel. Until all the hair falls out. I see my cousins, all medicos, and boy! They do cut a sorry figure.
Vaise Taxi 9211. Have you seen the original? “Changing Lanes” it was called, I think. Kept making comparisons while watching it, didn’t like it that much. Or maybe Nana Patekar is starting to get to me. One of the two

You have so spoiled it for me LOL. Here I was singing praises abt Taxi No 9211 to all and sundry reccoing it left right and centre. And it turns to be another desified copy. WTF.
Still, I was really entertained and intrigued (but then hadn’t seen the original). This is the 2nd time I have gone to watch a movie without reading a single expert review (which normally reveal the plagiarised resource in the 1st line), came out impressed and then got the bad news. The 1st time it happened was with Ek Ajnabee (Man on Fire xeroxed)
What is up with Bollywood seriously!
Karan.
Hey Karan!
I can fully understand your post exam state of mind!
At one point, while writing a paper, I was so bored and could not understand what subject the question was from, that I started counting the number of squares on the shirt of dude sitting in front row! 
And Salaam Namaste - 5th time?! Wow! Me can’t wait to watch The Da Vinci Code!!
Nirwa
Hehe… I remember doing inane stuff in the exam hall during all my maths and history exams in schools (no, seriously I had become an expert in pen-reading. I could tell from as far as 4-6 feet what numbers the other person’s pen was forming just by looking its movement. Better that!)
I have put off watching Da Vinci Code to next week what with an obs-gynae exam this friday (yes, an exam again!)
Cheers!
Karan.
