Wedding Preparations ...

Pheeeew!!!!! Am I exhausted or am I???? I have or rather Hari & I have spent the last month running around all over the world, i.e. Chennai, getting together all the stuff.

It began on the 25th. Actually a little before that as we both had been jewellery surveying even before. On the 25th after meeting Hari's grandmother, Dad & I spent the day hotel scouting & jewellery shopping. The next day went in Sarees & Hari's clothes. The day after rushing from Hotel to hotel to book a lunch.... Apparently all of Chennai & then some are getting married on the 21st.

The temple proved to be a surprising challenge. Vadapalani temple was visited by us at 6 am. (Yes, yes we 2 lazy bums woke up at 5 am that day). Only to be told to come back at 10!!!! This was followed by a looooong list of documents that needed to be submitted. After a round of scanning & e-mailing passport & ration card copies, & then couriering no objection certificates, we gave up on that temple. Had we decided on that, we would probably get married only in our next lifetime. We are now to be married at Perumal Koil, a smaller temple that takes your invite, Rs 3500 & lets u get married!!! How sensible :-)

We got the rings made (with our nicknames for each other engraved inside :-P). Then came the frantic search for toe rings, with me measuring it & telling dad on the phone.... He He.

Other than Me & my jewellery, I think the most beautiful part is our wedding card.

Senior Residency .....

See.... I told u, I am bad at writing up stuff. As this blog says, my last post was on 28th March. Too bad. And here I had glorious ideas of starting another blog for my work related stuff.... Mainly to crib about work & patients :-P


But as that does not seem likely, I shall continue here. I have been a senior resident since April. Obviously more work & more responsibility. Has been hectic, to say the least. But have also learnt a lot. Handling sooooooo many patients, has increased my knowledge & competence many fold.

There have been many various things related to this. I shall put up separate entries for it as & when I get around to doing it.

Mainly I learnt a lot in this period. About diseases, diagnosis & treatment. Also about attitudes, of patients & co workers.

On a personal level, I had many ups & downs. Downs being Mom's surgery & my multiple attacks of flu (for which I blame the high levels of stress we face). The major UP is obviously my Wedding :-)
