How to become a dentist:Guide for dummies aka fresh teenagers ;)(Indian version)

Dentist?? Really? Why? They are not even real doctors?? Right???

Well in technical terms they may not be your life savers. Neither are you gonna call them when someone is having a heart attack. So yeah, but still there are sizeable amount of people who want to choose dentistry as a career. Reason?

•  Well some people really have a knack for detistry. Like they really want to contribute to the society. They have their mind set from the beginning that they are going to be dental surgeons and work hard for that.
•  Then come people who are going in it for the money. But let me tell you first meeting a dental student myself I have heard horror stories about dentists working in call centers just to get by. Yeah it's a tough works it there and dentistry doesn't reward you instantly and hand you a 20k package that your engg. buddies may be earning.
•  Then come people like me. Who joined dentistry because , well, to fulfill their parents dream.

Well now even after reading all the above, suppose you end up at a dental college. For any of the reason. Now let me tell you from my experice how to get through unscathed in dental colleges in India.

1.  Choose your friends wisely, very wisely: Its the first day of your college life, you wanna be popular, you wanna get check out the girls and show off to your friends. Yes I did that too. But here's where the real trouble starts. You start sharing things with that dude/chick sitting next to you. Bam! The next week you know that your the laughing stock of the whole class. Why because whatever you told that person has spread faster than wildfire. So it's my humble request to you. Choose your friends very wisely.
2.  Never ever, ever get in an argument with the faculty: Yeah you are cool, you don't give a damn, no one can tell you what to do, right?? WRONG!! One thing I myself have learned is that it doesn't matter how genus you are, it doesn't matter if you are the best at your work. Once you have a beef with the faculty. You'll be out down faster than a rabied dog. So beware!!
3.   Study regularly: Yeah this is like the most bland advise there is,but it helps almost every time. You may think ohh why should I study, I'll just get my degree handed to me at the end of my internship. But no!! What will happen if you'll pass the exam, but you won't retain anything later. And it's crucial to retain things later on.
4. Be ready to be teased about not being a real Doctor: Yeah, I get this a lot too. A Dentist is a dentist. A dentist is not a doctor. At first it bothers you. But later on you learn to deal with it. ;) . also these are the same people who later come to you when they gave a toothache
5. 
   

Be ready to diagnose every Tom, Dick and Harry that visits your house: This happens a lot, aunties,uncles, their children, your bai(maid),her children, friends, family friends. Yeah all of them come to you "Beta dekhna Zara dard h"," beta Ye Kala Kala kya h dant me?". And the moment you can't  diagnose it. There you have it, they'll look at you like they have been shot up the bum! Now its time for you to get  shield up and somehow escape the barrage of question like"What you don't know this?","What are you doing in college?,"Are you a quack or what? ". What these people fail to understand is you don't get everything embedded into you right from the beginning!

 

 Ok ,now that you know this basic tips. Its time for the last tip. Come on after all its your college!? Study hard but party harder!! Have a great time.

The mallu guy in Delhi signing off!

What qualifies you to be a malayali(mallu)

Throughout my life I have been asked these questions by people countless times. "Are you mallu?"," your a south Indian?","But you don't look like a mallu!","You speak Hindi, don't lie to me your not a mallu" and the  final testing parameter that almost 90% of people try is "Mallu me kuch bolne dikha!( translating in Hindi to- speak something in Malayalam).

Even after burying the hatchet by telling them some bogus this in Malayalam still they don't believe me. Then they tell me " but u look like a Punjabi /Haryanvi/Delhite though".
This has many times stoked the fire in my heart and brain to ask them "what exactly qualifies a girl/guy to have the prestigious badge of mallu slapped across their existence".
 I don't know what to call such people,ignorant,foolish?
 Maybe they are, maybe the are not.

But the last this that blows my mind is when people ask " what do you eat?","Do you eat only idli sambhar?","Do you eat only bada and rice?","do you eat with your hands dipped in tubfull of sambhar rice?"

OK too much ranting here. What exactly qualifies a person to be a mallu?
Is it the oil dripping hair?
 Is it the toddy(liquor obtained from coconut tree tops)?
Is it the lungi half folded machi?
 Or Is it the accent( yeah it may be m-a-x-i-m-u-m for you, but for most mallus its yem-ye-yex-why-yem-you-yem)?

Let me know in the comments below what qualifies you to be a mallu.

It's your mallu guy signing off.

Is True love for Real??

Does

she love me? Does he love me? Does my child love me? Does my husband love me? Does my wife love me?

I can bet sometime, somewhere, at some point of your life you must have been confronted by the same question. So what is love? Is it just happiness? Is it those butterflies you feel in your stomach when you look at your crush? Is it just a way of making things getting done(you naughty naughty girls ;) )?

 I myself being in a reltaionship for almost 3.5 years am perplexed by this question many times a day. Not only for my girlfriend. But also for my friend. The real answer is we don't know.

 Maybe love is your puppy licking your face when you come back home after a really awful day, maybe its your son drawing you a picture,maybe it's that guy who does your work for you but I'd rude to you just so that you don't use him.

We all think we know love, how to love etc. But think deeply do you really know what love is??is true love really definable?? Or is it just a feeling? A way of life?

The Mallu Guy in Delhi..

First things first, mallu. Most of you all must be wondering what the heck is that. Let me clear the air. Its a slang type of word designated to us Malayalis,yup thr fame residents of Gods own country, KERALA!!
OK, I am new to this so don't know how many people are gonna read this. But I sincerely hope the people who are reading this get some help.This

Blogpost is all about the little achievement that we all can get in our lives if we are determined.
 I'm a mallu guy, living in Delhi since I can remember, words that aptly describe me are TECH freak, foodie, procrastinator, genius(in some ways), loveable, bitter( more about that in my later blogs).
 Also I'm a dental student, yeah yeah I know dentists are not real doctors, but who cares at least I'll have that Dr. In front of my name. But serially this wasn't my plan, I'm just like one of those millions of Indian students who even though are good in other things are just trying to fulfill their parents dreams. So be it. But I feel suffocated in this. Woah wait up, this is getting real depressing.

Sorry peeps, hope to catch you up in my next blog. Have a good life and a great year. By the way Happy new year!!!!
