life has been a bit hectic .. but now i've enough time to update my site. reason ? i'm a forced bachelor now .. my wife and kids went back to india (bangalore) for their summer vacation. and guess what ? i too will be going to india next month (july mid) ! tickets are bloody expensive but i guess thats easily offset by the satisfaction of meeting parents, sisters, other family memebrs, childhood friends and last but not least - eating the thattukada food after 2 years !!!! :)
i had a list of things to write (mostly political) but cant recollect now what those were .. probably when i sit home and have nothing to do, i might spit it out here.
for now, this is sabs signing off .. till the next bored evil spirit gets into me ..

those who are wondering (i know no one really cares, but just for my satisfaction i'm writing this :) ) what happened to this site, nothing happened - i'm still alive and its just that i dont have the same enthusiasm as i had in the beginning to keep updating this site. i knew this would happen some day when i started this, but never knew it would be so quick :) anyways, i hope to make atleast one post a month (wow !!) from now on.
on a personal front, i was down with influenza and a stomach virus attack and is currently on the recovery mode. hope to be back in full health atleast by this weekend.
and, i've decided to take a vacation this year to go to india. yes, i will be going to india this july for 3 or 4 weeks. talking about vacation, this pic which i received from a friend in keralachannel.com tells you the importance of why you should go visit your home back in india once a while. this bike is supposed to be owned by a gentleman in saudi whose last vacation back to kerala was in 1985 :)

this is the oath which all medical students (all over the world, i guess) take when they graduate from their medical schools to become professional doctors. couple of sentences in the oath are - 'To practice and prescribe to the best of my ability for the good of my patients, and to try to avoid harming them' and 'To keep the good of the patient as the highest priority' both of which are kind of self explanatory. now why am i writing this here now ? cuz just a day or two back, i read a very disturbing story in a malayalam newspaper about a young malayali nurse in bangalore who was brutally attacked sometime during night by a guy because she had earlier rejected his romantic overtures ! she was attacked with a sword and in that attack, her right hand got severed. she was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where they could've surgically sewn her hand but the hospital and doctors decided money was more important than she getting her hand back. they told her the surgery would cost her Rs.3-4 lakhs and that they would do it only if she paid the money in advance. the girl (she is from a poor family in kerala) and her relatives could not gather the required money within the few hours of the attack there by she ending up losing her right arm !! pathetic .. what else can i say ! we have shiv senas/bajrang dals/SFIs/DYFIs in india who at the slightest provocation go beat up and destroy governmental offices and public properties but where are they when such a thing happens ? i hope one day the hospital authorities and the doctors will realize what they have done to a girl for the greed of money.
back to some personal notes, its been a while since i wrote anything here. been busy all this while. the halloween pics have been updated in the albums section. this is how i look without any makeup !!
to those who know about the cricket stuff here in columbia: we got covered by THE STATE newspaper today. actually i should say that my butt got covered by the newspaper since its me in the orange in that picture .. i'm trying to get a scanned image of the actual article which someone said has more details .. keep checking back !
