A Share Of Sky

Life is too beautiful to spend it in keeping your feet on the ground

Dream of all those places and people, the ones who remain unfound

You have a choice to make, you either be one of those floating cloud

But lightning may strike your soul, thunder may scream at you aloud

Or you can be a flying bird, who wonders, wanders more than sings

Who does not need a push by the wind, who can beat his own wings

And still can reach his fellows, make his home in those valleys whole

Remember God has given you a fair share of the vast skies to stroll

Curiosity Creeps

We doctors have curious eyes for anything that is odd or new, it kind of runs in the profession and helps us survive as one. And this was on a microbiological culture plate in the laboratory where I work. The first thing which occured to me when I opened it was "Someone needs a smile" :-)

For those who are unaware let me tell you, processing in the laboratory is a tedious task. It takes a lot skill, more of knowledge and even more of team work for a laboratory to run. A good report in your hand is a result of all that. It is serious business, in a way or the other all your treatment depends on that. Well we do have some regular doses of fun. Here is one that happened yesterday, this is what we had to report after we saw a gross greeting in the sample.We are curious to know where the arachnid came floating from! :-)

 

Curiosity does creep, and if you are wondering what that flat face is about. They are actually two fungal colonies grown on the plate, and the sample we processed was a corneal swab. After we identified the fungus I changed my thought to" Someone does need an eye!"

I told you, it is serious business. For all we know even the spider may tell us some story! :-)

The Fall

"The first rain and the first love have one thing in common to teach us...

sometimes it is really worth all the fall"

A weather like today's turns me into a random quote generator, good enough to brighten up my mood and keep me occupied with a smile, therefore I had to share it with you. All the firsts, however good or bad does have a special place in your heart. I would be glad if you would share something about it here :-)

Good night and a dreamless sleep.
