Hey OB,
Circumcision done, now heading for a channel turp. Channel turps are depressing. It's like the last ditch effort to keep the plumbing active....mumbai city BMC special. They will dig up the road despite knowing nothing much can be done after this. But ofcourse what must be done must be done.....
Today I saw something of my childhood after a very long time: carbon paper. Do you know, my kids don't know what carbon paper is????
I remember it used to be such a special commodity when we were small! The blackness would stick to your fingers, and Aarati and I would use one till it had no juice left inside it, leaving impressions of many past lives on the current paper. We would play office-office and she would be the boss and I would be the secretary who gets reprimanded for coming late, tearing precious papers etc. then we would play teacher teacher and I would be the naughty student. They we would do skits and sell tickets to our parents and grandparents where she would be the director/ main protagonist and I would be the assistant director.....yes even I'm seeing the pattern now;) She is an excellent leader though, something i completely lack, but I'm a DAMN good follower! I can be a groupie, member of a cult, secretary, general dogsbody all rolled into one. I can make the leaders life seamless! Which extends into my adulthood relationships with surgeons like MaMo.....it's a cycle....the effect of carbon paper....duplications of life:)
Just reached saifee now. It turns out my patient is a beautiful man from Tanzania. They always have the most gorgeous smooth ebony skin and sparkling white teeth. Like the whole of the warmth of Africa is in their smile!!
Have you reached the dog chapter of Born a Crime?
