Its good to buy things a little cheaper than the marked price. FSM @ Trichy is one of the biggest shopping places and you can get everything about 5% cheaper. We do shop there quite frequently. But everytime we go there this sign pasted in a lot of places stumps us. Ok the message is quite clear, but the grammar and the unconnected eco message make it grin-worthy. Enjoy:WE BEAT THE PRICE!!NO ONE ON MRP!!!(KEEP OUR COUNTRY CLEAN) Figure it out and enjoy Trichy!

I finally got round to book a ticket for the trip to Chennai. No trains – so that left only the bus option! The best private buses were already booked as it was Diwali weekend. I hunted around for an hour in the hot afternoon and finally ended up booking the Government Airbus – slow and not the most comfortable. But thats all I could get for the weekend. I paid for the ticket on the dusty counter and pocketed it and rode back. A gust of wind suddenly blew the ticket out of my pocket and sent it flying onto the road! I almost didnt even realise it till I was about 50 meters away. I turned back and…

Today was the longest Becky and I were away from each other. I was on duty so i was stuck at the hospital and Becky went for a retreat organized by the hospital at a place 1 hour away. The day was quite eventful I started off early and went to church at 7.30 AM when Becky left for the retreat. I got no calls during the church service. Unfortunately I wasnt so lucky the rest of the day. Rounds took a long time and I had to squeeze in some shopping, cleaning and cooking (yes…. I said cooking). There were frequent interruptions and lots of sick children. Becky too came back tired but we had a joyful reunion (the…

Its always very encouraging to get an email about Gods miraculous ways and even better when its from your parents.Appa sent me this email today. Hope it encourages you too!“Dear Children,This morning we went to Indian Immigration department and met the Deputy Director. After verifying the papers he wrote a note to Immigration officer to extend the Visa till 07/09/2008. We got the token and waited for our turn. The officer (a lady) seeing the Deputy Director’s note was upset and said “why you want to extend your visa…there are people waiting for more than 3 years and your approved papers have not yet come from New Delhi”. We just kept quiet. She was arguing with other Immigration officers and…

I dunno whether it was a secret…. but today it was out and official – Aruns first reaction when he saw Beckys photo after we decided to get married. (Arun is my brother and is married to Lisa). The cat flew out of the bag as expected when 2 young ladies were talking on the phone – as is usual to happen when 2 ladies start talking!! The 2 ladies were Becky and Lisa and after the conversation I was officially introduced to the sentence my brother had proclaimed almost a year ago when Becky and I decided to get married.“How on earth did someone like Jeyanth end up with such a pretty girl”{{A minute of silence to let it…

I received this forwarded email from my dad and found it really cute, awesome and meaningful.This is an awesome e-mail…..someone took a lot of time setting up this message, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did…Here’s the link:The Bell: Keep this bell ringing…pass it on

Just one of those perks when you are a paediatrician!!I’d asked my parents to buy a couple of cheap toys on the train when they came home and they got two cute plastic toys. And did the kids love them – you BET!!So here’s a video of a kid playing with both of them – he could do it for hours if we allowed him to!!The video is a low quality mobile cam video – but you dont need a high resolution camera to see that the kid is enjoying himself!

I wonder how people can be grateful after a doc pulls out half her teeth!! Well, a dentist is the expert at that and Becky must be one of the best!! Dr. Juliet’s mom had to have all her teeth pulled out in 3 sittings and today was her first section. To make a long story short it was expected to be difficult but Becky with her talent and patience did an awesome job. So why am I bragging…?It happened when we dropped into Juliets OPD on the way back. Her mom was resting there after the dental extraction and beamed brightly when we walked in. After a little chit-chat she turned to me and said, pointing at Becky, “Gods…

Nothing too fancy about this title right. Wrong!!Becky and I woke up at 7.20 only and the church service starts at 8 AM. We hurriedly got ready, made coffee, bit into some breakfast and left home at 8.30 feeling a little guilty. We reached the church and noticed that a lot of people were coming out and a lot were just entering it!! Weird…..A little inquiry revealed that from today the church timings were altered. – 7:30 AM was the English service for 1 hour followed by the Tamil service. As we hadn’t been to church for a couple of weeks, we were not aware of this change.We had an awesome time at church and also realized how much God…

Am I too old for this??!! Considering the fact that my last few birthdays have been quiet affairs spent alone/at work/on call/writing exams/travelling etc the statistical probability that the latest one would also be another similar one was high. So was it?Nope – statistically speaking a confounder stepped in and that changed the predicted path of the day, whipped it off trajectory and took it soaring to new heights of excitement! Yes – marriage and my pretty wife made today unforgettable!!So what was in store – Seinfeld, Treasure Hunt, a shirt, a surprise birthday cake, a pacifier, fried rice, sausage, french fries….. the list wont stop!It’ll be too difficult to go through the entire day with a blog entry/
