Angry!

Okay 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.
