Gold, frankincense and myrrh

It is a small world...an Airtel ad will exhort.It indeed is. You do get an occasional stare of exclamation from the guy sitting ahead of you in the bus when you are talking to your friend in the lines of " abbe woh HongKong se call aaya kal, and Philadelphia call karna hai yeh week"
But it is a small world. When a filthy rich Dr Patwardhan can travel to Pune just to attend Sawai!!Small world when news comes first from the USA about events in Indore or Bangalore.And you have Gtalk at hand always.

I reiterated to myself that I am a good diagnostician when the MRI proved what I had suspected for long. And seeing kids who once huddled over PJ Mehta in the wards while twas residency days, now as uppity residents who mete and dole with self anointed righteousness gave me a nostalgic been there- done that kick. And twas reiterated to myself again why private practice exists....you can never get the attention you seek from a busy physician who has an OPD to finish, students to teach and zebras to pick and fetish upon.

It is snowing in Boston....Ananya looks like an adorable Magi doting over babies Priya and Nikhil, .... I wish I could have been for the Reading get together. Christmas is in Pune as Diwali was in Boston. You can't dash through the snow on a one horse open sleigh through Lakshmi road possibly.

But they say it's a small world.

Oh the weather outside is so 20ish
And I am so bored mugging my Spanish
And since we have no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
