What did I do till now?????

I am little bit disappointed because I’ve missed my 50^th post in 2008 and it’s been a quite a long since I wrote my last post. But I am still happy that I was able to post continuously. It’s all because of my friends who were encouraging me to do so and I am thankful to them.

There were lots of things which happened in the year 2008. I would say it was really a bad year because of two reasons which are deadly attack in Mumbai and the economy crisis. I am hoping that 2009 will be better.

There were lot’s things which happened in my life which I never did before. To remember few things like skiing, Ice-Skating, Bowling, Para sailing and all rides in Ceder Point were thrilling experience and more adventures too. The toughest one was ice-skating. I thought of writing many things about 2008 but this year is really busy till now and I couldn't spend time to write a post. To be frank I was little bit lazy to write a post and I was also not in a mood of writing because of my work and other personal things.. Hope I won’t do this in the future.

 

Lot’s of things has happened in the past one week..

India has registered their biggest win in test and Australia has faced its biggest defeat in the past decade. I would say Dhoni has done an excellent job as a captain than the batsman though he got two 50’s. The good captaincy always makes the difference irrespective of their opponent.

Last week I went to Pittsburg to get some blessings from Venkadasalapathy. I am quite happy with that trip.

First time in US I went to see doctor. Last week I fell down in tennis court and I got little bit of scratch in my right elbow and it didn’t get healed till now. I was really worried since it was a very small scratch and normally it didn't even take more than 3 days to get healed when I was in India. And finally decided to go to doctor and got the appointment yesterday. She just gave some antibiotic tablets and she also checked my BP and the same old story and it’s little bit high. I never knew that it was a long process to get the tablet from pharmacy. It took almost 15 minutes to get the tablet and my friend told it was very fast. Compared to India the tablet is very costly and the pharmacist told that It’s not that expensive. Then only I realized that how important to have the insurance when you are here.

After a long time I got up at 6 am may be first time since I came to US. I had to go for the medical checkup at 7 to get the physical fitness certificate. The stupid PA state DMV’s are asking for certificate to get the learners permit. It’s really hard to get a doctor’s appointment to just get the certificate. Finally I found one medical centre where they used to do the fitness test for most of the company employees. The hard thing about that centre was they are not supporting “Aetna” insurance but they are supporting more than 50 other insurance providers and it cost me 50 bucks from my pocket.

Though they had a normal checkup the vision checkup was tough. I couldn’t even recognize the letters itself but the lab attendant asked me to close my left eye and read that line. I am sure out of 8 letters 3 could have gone wrong. I don’t thing nobody had red that correctly in the past since it was too small to read from a long distance. Then I had a bp and pulse test on my left hand. She said “it seems little bit high for you and let me check again in the other hand”. No use the same result it’s 86 in diastolic reading. The normal should be between 70 and 80. The doctor said I could have been bit nervous when the test has done since it’s a new place for me. But I am sure this is the first time I am too relaxed when they were doing the bp test. Normally my pulse rate will go up whenever they do the test but this time it’s just 77. I found that the bp 86 mm hg comes under the category “High Normal”. I don’t know what does that “high” and “normal” means. :-)
