hi everybody
well the blog seems 2 b wilting under the heat - it has been an exceptionally hot summer- viml has taken off 4 the hills, nargis is hot footing it 2 the us of a and tas prob is enjoying a lovely spring . ashu is in australia, by -passing the scorching heat . i am - guess where? in the maldives, where i have volunteered for a medical camp- we r supposed 2 b checking the local populace. problem is today is friday, their weekly holiday so am at a loose end- got access 2 the comp so can blog bhai! faiyaz has hopefully got over his prof hitch and has finally settled down at work. we will all inundate him with wishes on his birthday. i am at an atoll called meem - island is mulee and there is a very well quipped hospital here with a good lab, operation theatre and an icu also. the island is like something out of a tourist brochure- fringed with turquoise seas and white soft beaches - only its humid and so we r sweating like pigs. food is tuna, (tuna,tuna kaka tuna!) which is a very strong smelling fish - popular with westerners but not very palatable 2 my oh-so indian palate. am doing an opd of maybe 4-5 / day which is 1/10 my work load so am getting restless! am now worried abt my old age - am going 2 chew up J s brain once i stop working- am prob turning into a workaholic - old age has possibilities of chocoholic, alcoholic, bathoholic ( new term meaning person who bathes 4-5 times/ day which is what am doing now).

Alps
Probab that brings back your childhood memoirs of Car Nicobar.
You can take a 2 piece bikini and jump into the placid waters for cooling off ! Go snorkelling !
Swim alongwith Sting rays .. dont go close to them. Pick a couple of invaluable corals from the reefs !
Pat Abdul Gayoom on his back for being a Prime minister too long !
But pls keep the population increasing till they outnumber the fauna at sea.
Maldives needs populace !
I envy the good Doctor from Sangli, as she enjoys her recess at maldives, maudlin narrative notwithstanding about the Tuna and bathaholism.
Maldives sounds interesting, despite the heat n humidity. Combine business with pleasure and make the most of it. Enjoy...you deserve it!
Females - Doesn't Male Sound interesting?
Male Islands is an excellent resort - Try visiting Kurumba Islands!
You can take a 1 piece bikini and jump into the placid waters for cooling off !

Pani bra hi!

Woohoo!! lets hope you get to use your bikini. Mangoes, yummmmm, I am green. Not that there are no mangoes here, but nothing like those we get in India! Enjoy!!!
So what if Maldives is a Muslim Country? There is absol no restictions on the Islands though!!!
Sea Water - Sea Through!
Glass Bottomed Bedrooms!
ROTOMAC - Sab kuch dikhta hain!
Of all the places I met Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie who happen to arrive in a Private Jet! Private affair!
Rajiv Gandhi sent Indian troops to quell the coup against Gayoom---perhaps that was the reason he could stick on so long.
Anyways, have fun Alps. There is a Taj hotel at Villi Varu and Biyadoo Islands. Have you seen those hotels?
I understand there is a restaurant in Maldives that is actually below the sea level enclosed in a glass structure and you have fishes swimming all over. Must be a great sight!!
