Housejob Chronicles ||O n Chill
As promised in my last post in the housejob chronicles series, I’m posting this just a few days after completely the 2nd of 4 postings in my internship year – Obs and Gyne. I really have gone halfway through my housejob year already. Wow! Time does fly. After spending 12 weeks in pediatrics, I moved to Obstetrics and Gynecology (Obs and Gyne, O and G, O ‘n’ Chill) for another 12-week long posting. Obstetrics and gynecology is the aspect of medicine which deals with health issues peculiar to females. It’s divided into 2 parts – Obstetrics (study of and care for women during the pregnancy period) and Gynecology (study of…

A Letter to My Ex
You’re probably wondering, ‘why write a letter to your ex?’, ‘that ship has sailed’, or many other similar thoughts. Well, some people say that this can be one way to get closure. Also, who knows, there still might just be a chance there. The letter doesn’t necessarily have to be sent, it can just be an avenue to process your feelings. Anyway, today I’m not writing any letter to any ex. I’ll be sharing one from a series titled Letters to my Ex which was published on TheNakedConvos(TNC). A little back story – I found the TNC site while reading a newspaper on one of the idle days I was…

Book Review||Born a Crime
Last month, I read the book ‘Born a Crime’ and let me just say this – it was an awesome read. Biographies, auto or otherwise, have recently become one of my favorite genres of books to read. Not only because I get to read about (and learn from) people’s lives, how they grew up and how they got to where they are now, but also because it gives me a glimpse into history, what the world was like years and years ago. I’ve picked up a flair for history and biographies help in a way to fan that flame within, as well as novels with historical settings – they have…

Housejob Chronicles ||Overcoming pediatrics
Welcome back to my space! 😀 If you have read my about page, you’d know that I am currently carrying out the mandatory 1-year medical internship program and I wrote about how I got my internship placement in a ‘foreign land’ here. Although this post is several months late (pediatrics was the first of 4 postings in the program), I think it’s only right for me to still make a post about my experience. When I was younger, I used to tell anyone who cared to listen that I wanted to become a pediatrician in future. To everyone who I might have said that to, I apologize, I definitely didn’t…

Are you your spec’s spec?
Recently, I saw a friend’s status with the following statement – ‘Are you the person the person you are looking for is looking for?’ which in simpler terms is asking – ‘Are you your spec’s spec?’. Seeing that, I remembered a post I wrote for one of my friend’s blog a couple of years back which somehow addressed this question. I planned to post it here but somehow I kept pushing it. Yesterday, I saw the February edition of The Spark Magazine and voila!, the woman who was one of the inspirations for that post years ago was on the front page. I made a mental note to follow up…
