My Theories :)

Theory : If you've hit rock bottom and you bounce back, your relationship is for keeps.
Explanation
: Well, take any relationship for example. Doesn't have to be a romantic one. Just any. So imagine you've hit rock bottom, so the fights have gotten crazy, and one or both of you has done something completely horrible and forgiveness is an obvious no, but then somehow, you manage to bounce back, and you're friends again. This tells you that come what may, this relationship will last. There are people in this world who will leave you at any opportunity they get, but then there are also people who have every reason to bail on you but they don't.


Theory
: 2 hot people can't co exist. Sorry.
Explanation
: Call me bitchy, but a relationship between 2 people who're both gorgeous to look at CANNOT WORK. They'll both probably be up to *here* with their ego, and neither of them will want to give in. No, sorry. Can't work. 2 ugly people can work fantastically, hell I've seen it happen. One ugly, one hot = PERFECT MATCH. [ Yes, I've got hope! :D]


Theory :
The little things matter, but not as much as the big things.
Explanation
: Okay seriously. We're all about the whole ' Oh, the little things' because we're so miserable about the big things not existing. Everyone loves big gestures, and when they don't have any example to live by, the concentrate on the little things to make themselves feel better.


Theory:
You're hated, feel important!
Explanation
: It takes a LOT of energy to be hated. A LOT. So if someone is spending all that energy that could've been used to do something a LOT more productive to hate you, feel important :)

How Soooo "NOT" to treat your students...............

I'm currently  working  with an attending who completely ignored my presence. Not too unusual in med school. But,I got pretty upset when the attending respond  to every question I asked by turning to the resident and replying to him. He didn't want to stoop so low as to talk to a med student. Arrogant ass. 

I wish he can only read this post :x

Sealed WITHOUT the KISS ...Nandini !!

Pimping... us Poor Med Students

The art of Pimping: pimping occurs when an attending physician (the Pimper) poses a series of difficult questions to a resident or medical student (the Pimpee).
Pimping usually occurs in settings such as “morning report” or “attending rounds,” in which trainees at various levels convene with a faculty member to review patients currently under their care.
So what is the cure?
  • Avoidance, Do not have visual contact with the teacher
  • The Muffin, the pimpee holds a large muffin in the dominant hand with the elbow flexed, and slowly makes motions with the elbow that move the muffin toward and away from the mouth, somewhat like the graphical lines representing the attitudes of focus group
    members used by television networks while watching the recent presidential debates (ie, closer to the mouth if the pimpee does not know the answer, further if he or she does)
  • The Hostile Response, respond in a hostile fashion, both with the tone of voice and body language. Most pimpers don’t like taht and refrain from further questioning at that instance and near future
  • The Pimpee should just repeat the response given by a previous respondent and pretend he or she did not hear it
  • Honorable Surrender, tell the pimper you are uncomfortable
  • Pimp Back, pimpers usually do not like to be pimped so be careful
  • The Politician’s Approach, do not answer the question that the attending asked but talk straight to the audience (ie, ignore the pimper) by answering a question you would have preferred being asked
  • Pimpers might avoid students with visible PDAs because they know these students can pimp back
  • Do Not Sulk/Cry, pimpees who answer incorrectly should not become overly discouraged. Pimpers rarely remember students who give wrong answers (especially to difficult questions); they often remember those who lose their composure
This article also has advice for pimpers but they can find out themselves, besides they are the one’s abusing their position.The lesson is to not take pimping too seriously and remember that often more can be learned from incorrect answers than from correct ones.

Dear Best Friend,

I have always wanted to tell you that I feel really lucky to have you as friend. I like it when you remember each and every little thing about me. You're the first one to wish me on my b'day every year since the time we've known each other.I like how you share each and every secret of yours with me that aren't known even to your special friend . I like it when you try to advice me, telling me to be strong  and practical, even though you yourself are so soft-hearted . I  feel so good when I ask you for a favor and you do much more than what I asked you for.I have never felt  so much comfortable with anyone as I am with you because you have always accepted me as I am- with my strengths and weaknesses-you've seen the worst side of me as well.
The most amazing thing about our friendship is whenever I am sad, you are always the first one to realize it.I don't know how you do this( if it's some telepathy or something) . You truly are one of my strengths. Even though you are hundreds of miles away from me, still you've never forgotten me.  I hope our friendship  keep on strengthening in the years to come. 

Sealed with a kiss Nandini !
