A twisted poem from a twisted mind, and some twisted ideas which resulted from a sleepless night and straight 48hrs on the Go..i think i must rename my Twisthesis!

Na hadse zyyada khushi
Na had se zyada gham
Duniya ko chale jeetne hum
Na goli barood na koi bumm
Humare G main hai itna dum
Jab tak hai jaan
chalega yehi sitam
Kabhi thanda kabhi garam
Dekho sapne par kabhi ho nA bhramm
Ruke rakaye na thame hum
Bheegi aankhen hui namm
Man me lagan
Dimaag main aggan
Hosla pakka na zyaada na kam
ROK sake na koi ravan ho ya Yam
Saath mili hai mujhe ek sundar humdum
Haath main uske hath ho apna kya khushi kya ghamm.

On the edge...

On the edge. That thin line. That fine line. At one moment you could feel like being on top of the world, next moment you could be on your way to the bottom, you feel humbled by the enormity and the megalomania of nature,n realise that we live in our own human cocoons. Cocoons of the society. If you get out of it you could feel the beauty of what lies beneath. N that sums up the purpose of human existence. Explore, invent, think, feel it, sense it, adapt to it all, let go, relax and enjoy. Being afraid is a protective mechanism, it shouldn't stop you from what you are here for

ECHO INDORE 2013@ SAIMS INDORE

The stage was all set. It was an awesome conference right since the moment it began. Dr.Navin Nanda, distinguished professor and regarded as the 'Father of Echocardiography' delivered some excellent lectures on the basics of echo cardiography.The lectures were well organized by Dr.Siddhant Jain sir and Dr.Tilkar sir. There were many interesting live case demonstrations by some of the stalwarts of Echo cardiography like Dr.Navin Nanda sir himself and other eminent cardiologists like Dr.Rakesh Gupta and Dr.Vidyut Jain. The live workshops were simply too good and it was great to see all the greats at one place trying to instill in our minds how important an imaging modality could be, how it could aid in not only the diagnosis but even management of the patients. The conference was successful because of not just the lectures but even the 2way interactive sessions. It felt good to interact and have your doubts cleared from the best people in the business. The conference was light hearted at many intervals and that really set the mood for the interest. there were even interesting cases by our own Dr.Vijay Garg sir and in the end there was a very important lecture by Dr.Nitin Modi sir on ECHO IN ICU There were quizzes with awards.I happened to win the second one and was the only PG student to have done so. There was also a last question which would give the answering person the title of 'Master of the Quiz' and I won that too. Time just flew and there was still a big crowd even after 12 hrs of grilling. The ambience at Laser was very pleasant and even the food was too good (that's what some people had come for). The conference was followed by a happening party at the Fortune Landmarks Earthen oven garden with some great food, the much needed drinks (especially after such an intense day) and some good performances by singers and a good Saxophone artist (who were PG students themselves!) The party finally ended with a DJ and dance where everyone just loosened up and let off all their steam.I must congratulate Dr.Siddhant Jain &Dr.Tilkar for organizing a very superb conference. Looking forward to the coming week for the ECHO course which would be accredited. To sum it up in 3 words, IT WAS AWESOME!

DEXTROCARDIA ? Or wrong ECG?

An interesting case of dextrocardia.
How to distinguish it from a wrong lead placement or CAD
Check the negativity of aVR, positivity of p wave and progression of R wave in chest leads.I think the person while taking an inverse ECG inverted the avR too.
