Interview 1

I am starting on my interview trail. Although it is another thing that i have yet one interview in my trail. My first residency interview is on 14th of November. I did some reading up for the encounter. I am supposed to spend sometime with the residents in the hospital before my formal interview session starts on the 14th. I am looking forward to spending some quality time and also looking forward to meeting some new exciting people. It will be an oportunity to a sneak preview in the professional world of medicine. That is amazing. I will e able to get to know someo f those people whom i have aspired to be these past five years. It is not that i have never been in contact with residents. Ofcourse i have worked in a teaching hospital where there are residents and they are quite helpful and friendly. But this time i will be a part of the people whom i had uptil now seen and imagined on the other side. Now is my chance to be someone i wanted others to be with me when i was in medical school.
This is also an opportunity to see a new place and a new city. I was reading the history of the city of Saint Louis. some interesting facts sprang forth. I was intrigued.
But of more interest to me was the fact that my programme director has interest in the game of cricket. That is amazing in itself. I have been an avid follower of cricket myself before the medical school. I still maintain the usual emotional attachment with our cricket team. It is another thing that now i get little time to watch cricket. I did miss the ICC champions' trophy. But there was little interest left in it for me after Pakistan was thrown out and India couldn't make it to the semifinals. And i did wish that West Indies were able to retain their title.

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

Gluttony

There has been a recurring thought in my mind over the past many many months.  Every time I sit on the table to eat food with my  family  I thank God for giving me this opportunity to sit down and enjoy one of the basic needs of living beings.  Apart from the ability to sit down and eat with family I also do enjoy the absolute variety of tastes that are reaching my taste buds.  It is indeed a fact that our table is almost always stuffed with different  flavours by virtue of quite intricately cooked foods with lots of love.

XBOX ONE controller

I have been using the new xbox for many days now. The most important part of the console is obviously it's controller as this is the part we interact with most. In comparison to the xbox 360 controller the build quality of this controller seems slightly compromised. There is little counter weight in the wings of this controller and therefore it does not feel quite as sturdy in hand as the old one. However the shape has been elongated a bit and this actually probably compensates for the weight issue. All the buttons are within reach of my fingers which is good. One thing I have liked about the xbox controller is the snug fit in my hands. This is unlike sony's six axis controller. Those are obviously made for smaller hands. The sony controllers are much sturdier as I have learnt over the years I have had the play station. They took a lot of beating but came out winning. I don't think I expect same quality from the xbox controllers.  Also I have been getting a taste of Microso...
