4 jobs I’ve had:
As far as I can remember, there is nothing that I havent tried my hand in, except probably fly - which remains one of the things to do before I die.
1. Making others happy - This was one of the first recognisable jobs I had, and my customers were very satisfied. Now I do this only part-time.
2. Seafood export - I didnt last very long here as most of the consignments were either delivered to my friends houses or cooked at home.
3. Healthcare - IT consulting: This is a passion, currently.
4. Surgeon - This is a very demanding and high output job, and I am loving it.
4 films I could watch again and again:
This is going to be a strange list for most people. The fact is there are over a 100 movies I have watched, and can watch, again and again. Currently, I am watching these again, again and again-
1. Rang De Basanti - There is something so natural about the characters in this movie, perhaps because I can relate to each of them in some way.
2. About A Boy - I always thought and still think I am an island.
3. Braveheart - History always teaches you what you need for the future.
4. Notting Hill - I don't know why, but I love this one.
4 places I’ve lived in:
1. Kerala - God's country in the hands of Dogs'. Born and lived most of my childhood here.
2. Mangalore - Where I learnt about life, people and the world along with medicine
3. Singapore - Very briefly
3. Bangalore - Where I became the person that I am today.
4 TV series I like(d) to watch:
1. Seinfeld - Funniest characters
2. Fresh Prince of Belair
3. Mind Your Language
4. Friends
4 places that I’ve been on vacation to (and enjoyed):
1. Vythiri/ Wayanad/ Kerala
2. Goa
3. Canada
4. Dubai
4 websites I visit everyday:

2. News sites

4 books I’d love to read again and again:
1. The Last Don/ The God Father
2. God Of Small Things
3. The "For Dummies" Series
4. Seven Easy Steps To The Forbes List (still at first!)
4 favorite dishes:
1. Pastas with cheese :)
2. Thai Green Curry
3. Seafood anything
4. Chocolate anything
4 places where I’d like to be right now:
1. A misty mountain top overlooking rest of the earth..alone. taking deep breaths..
2. A long white sandy beach..lying down..staring at the sun
3. A green rice-field..in the middle of it..nothing else for miles together
4. On top of the tallest building on earth..

Keshi.
@ keshi - excellent..i thought nobody else might even know about that movie :) hi-five!!
Those were some very nice 4's..
:)
..Me
When I tagged you I was waiting to see the picture you would put to make this post picture perfect like other posts :) Lovely picture and amazing that you could stand in the midle of the road to take it!!
most of the consignments were either delivered to my friends houses or cooked at home LOL an uncle had the same busines with the same results..:)) The side effects? A lifelong hatred for frozen seafood. Wet thermocol tastes better.
So you are a surgeon doc? Pray tell me which hospital? After that 'incident' with Ms Scissors I shall avoid the said institution by at least a mile :| :)) Glad you are loving it though, that makes all the difference.
I liked Braveheart and Notting Hill too :) And I love 'Mind your Language" ! And Becker too :)
Pls lend me the Book No. 4 if you ever finish it and make it to the list :))
"www.iamsoboredanddontknowwhattodo.com" This is one site I will never visit :)) I am never so bored that I don't know what to do he he :p
Though I visit and www.howtoblogatworkandgetawaywithit.com and www.howtolookbusy.com etc very often :|
And www.f1.com? Now that proves that beneath that surgeon's mask lies a regular guy :))
This was lovely doc :)
1. Pastas with cheese :)
That requires a seperate and dedicated comment :) Anyone who loves pasta with Cheese has class and taste and that certain something that sets them apart from ze crowd!!!!
:p
3. Seafood anything
...moi second that too though it is your third :))
Beautiful picture accompanying the tag.
@ rose - thanks so much..nice to see "me" here.
@ silverine - wowww...now that was one of the most entertaining and loveliest comments so far in my blog :)
yeah the picture..those roads are like forever. that, and most of the rockies pictures, were taken from the car while driving :)
so true about seafood :) thats why i am not investing in a chocolate factory, yet.
After that 'incident' with Ms Scissors I shall avoid the said institution by at least a mile
i am eternally wounded..sob sob..
you know, i wont tell you now which hospi :P
:)
Book No. 4, i am rewriting the first chapter - "small step for man, giant leap for me"
I am never so bored that I don't know what to do he he
lucky you..but its fun to get bored now and then :)
i read your article on www.howtoblogatworkandgetawaywithit.com..brilliant..
pastas with cheese..yumm..spiga?
now this was great fun, replying to your comment :)
@ aizwaikcha - long time no see! thanks! feel free to take the tag :)
mind your language....ah!now there's something that I have seen a gazillion number of times and I still don't get bored.
Now that I have been reminded again,am going to planet M and getting the DVD.
Fresh prince of Belair.. I am still watching it here.. everyday..I must hv watched it atleast a dozen times..and I still enjoy the episodes.. even after all these years..
Pasta with cheese.. agree with silverine..who can resist a lovely lasagne with meat and tons of cheese..I am hungry already
Good one MC. :)
. Making others happy - This was one of the first recognisable jobs I had, and my customers were very satisfied. Now I do this only part-time...guess this job is the toughest. I can completely understand why you left a permanent job for a contract/temporary one. :)
Very nice pic
I believe the dateline at the bottom spoils the picture .. whaddaya think???
hi mind curry...thanks for dropping by...am ok with anyone who likes pyummy cheesy pasta! ;-)
Thank you doc. I just fired my family doc. It was due to nomenclature...and not malpractice :|
:))
@ maya - yes, i loved MYL..giovanni and max were my favorites!
@ IiC - Will has come a long way huh? Really loved Hitch.
Pasta with cheese..man..this has been a very appetising post and comment session!
@ quills - ahh..atleast someone understands! but yes, it is a tough job :)
@ lalit - thanks buddy..yes you are right about the dateline..but used it then as i was holidaying..now it serves more as a trademark :) but yes, what you said is true and i dont use the dateline much these days.
@ ganja turtle - now thats a relief :)
btw,welcome back! and congrats on joining the big league :)
@ silverine - hihi..you!! well, like someone said, behind every fire there is a name :)
hey ,, u make ordinary posts and questions interesting by ur answers ..
Surgeon - well what do u know I once thought i could be one when I ended up cutting all the toads in class12 boards for my friends when the teacher was out of the room ..ofcourse this is one of the many professions I wnted to take up at diff points of my growing up years ..fav remains a mad scientist or a fighter pilot ,
Hmmm I love pasta and cheese too....and silvy for ur info I bake well too so if u drop in at cal u knw where to head ( tryin to tempt u ) ..
RDB rocks ..
Seven easy steps ... is the writer on the forbes list ? do check that out first he he
hey...just a suggestion...turn off the auto date thing on your camera....while it is nice to know when you took the photo, it's not nice to have it printed all over....cheers!
@ shruti - lol..thanks so much..thats a sweet thing to say..
well, in some ways you should be thankful you are not a doc..besides, i think your current job rocks!
oh yeah, i am also heading to your house for some alfredo :)
yes, the authors in the forbes list of 100 worst writers.
:)
@ sigbhu - welcome here..point taken bro! will remember that. i swear i didnt turn it on since june 2006 :)
"i read your article on www.howtoblogatworkandgetawaywithit.com..brilliant..
Thank you doc, that took any hours of working time to complete :))
And thanks for recommeding Spiga, heavenly!!!!
Nice jobs you had. I always have great respect for people who experiment on their body ( like the operation your performed on your hand with the scissors) before trying it on other people :-)
Brave Heart and Rang De Basnthi I love. Notting Hill is OK. Never heard of 'About a boy" although head a lot about girls :-)
All the TV serials I like. Never been to Goa, Canada and Dubai.
Never heard of the Seven Easy steps to the Forbes list. I love the first two books. Never liked the 'for dummies' series.
Thai and seafood anything anytime anywhere; love them. I don't belong in the esteemed 'pasta n cheese' club. I am forbidden from eating those. And I hate chocolates.
Nice list MC.
First 3 in "4 places I'd like to be right now" are beautiful descriptions!
Your post made me go back and check what all I had written.
Surprisingly I cribbed so much about not being able to travel and LO! God like paid special attention after that post I have been to:
1.Nagpur
2.Hyderabad
3.Bangalore
4.Coorg
5.Goa
Have plans to go for one long vacation to kerala or to the north this year end :)
Suddenly even i want to go to the places you described :)
You can read God of Small things AGAIN!! Somehow i could not manage to finish it once also. I distinctly remember hating it. Probably I should go back and read it again.
'about a boy' remains one of my fave too...hey,hav ya read t book?its by nick hornby..tucks at ur heart strings..very genuine..
surgeon ? Really ?!
hmmm...u absolutely love nature. i could really connect with that.
