Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom

Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom - roughly translates from Tamizh as "Some pages missing from the middle". This movie has made me laugh so much and I still remember the condition he had - Medula Oblangata (which may not be the right medical reference - I don't know!).
So it is a story of a man who loses his memory of the last 1 year and remembers everything else and functions normally.
Little did I know that I'd end up in a similar situation - now, suddenly it is no longer funny!

Post accident, I seemed to remember perfectly well, everything up until the 15 minutes before the accident. Anything that occurred from that moment also did not seem to be in retention.
I was talking to people, whatsapping, basically, functioning as usual and not knowing that I would not recollect that conversation at all.

It's almost 3 months now, I am back to normal I believe, however, June was hazy for sure.
What I did while at the hospital and when I was back home, I cannot remember no matter how hard I try.
I was going through photos and realized we had special cake delivered for my son's birthday and could not recollect that at all until I went through the chat messages with the baker I had ordered it from(I have been ordering ONLY from her for the last couple of years!).

I don't know what else I "missed" in all this post-concussion effect! Something that will be a "pakkam" that is missing from my story. 
Well, we keep forgetting things anyway, or rather our memory retention is not too great anyway. Just think about a year ago..how much do we really remember! 

Until next time, Happy Reading!

The Man

  Last week, this song "The Man" by Taylor Swift, played as I walked into office. It felt like a great way to start my work as I marched into my floor and inside my cabin. Pumped, I start my daily routine at work and as I get through the day, I realize I enjoy my work and that I am good at it. Would I be at a different level if I were a man? Maybe. But I would rather go through my journey my way because we cannot keep regretting what we cannot change. However, I do lend that hand to a younger woman and guide her so she learns from my mistakes too and can work smarter. I make sure I am the person representing my girl-tribe in moments where their skills are sought for.  This also reminds me of Cher's interview where she says that instead of marrying a rich man, she was the Rich Man !  I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker If I was a man And I'm so sick of them coming at me again 'Cause if I was a man Then I'd be the m...

June - Doctor/Hospital month??? Is this the start of a trend?

 June 12th 2014, I went for a regular scan to my Gynec - 37 weeks into my pregnancy and was asked to go for an immediate scan, that followed a suggestion to get admitted right away, and then surgery was scheduled the next day. 28 years on earth and I had never been admitted at a hospital for anything, not even typhoid or chicken pox! And here I was hospitalized for 11 days, 1 pre-surgery, 10 post until my son recovered from jaundice ! And that's the end, I thought !  June 4th, 2022, I was out shopping with my son. My previous blog posts detail the ordeal and how i was again hospitalized for a week for concussion and surgery to my face for bruises. A plastic surgery that didn't change my "beauty".  Cut to June 16th 2023, a couple of days ago, woke up with a sharp, shooting pain, like contractions non-stop and ended up getting admitted, drips and pain killers not being effective, to rushing to a scan that helped find the root cause - Hemorrhage of cyst in ovary. Sounds ...

Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.

Some days when you don't want to start on some new show and you don't want to watch something without knowing the ending, you'd go back to shows or movies that you have loved as a child. Yesterday was one such day. I went on to watch Jim Carrey's "The Truman Show". When I watched it as a younger person, I liked it for Jim's acting and the entire storyline seemed outrageous and yet heartbreaking. How can one person's life be in front of camera all the time and how can one be living a lie !  Present age, in 2024, when I watched this, I saw it in a different light. With social media being rampant, with everyone having access to cameras on their phone to instantly capture a video, no one can escape being a "Truman". Any instance of your life can be captured by someone and you could end up being ridiculed or hailed a superstar overnight. The superstardom can fall overnight too, but the ridicule remains long after it subsides too. We also live a li...
