while working on a good update... a few distractors

So, I am quite behind on posts, but as I work on a massive update of all the orientation/meetings/adjustments to life in Vellore…. I have a couple new items to add to my post, which I will add to regularly.  One is “clinical corner” (aimed at my med student/doctor/PhD readers) with interesting cases, clinical pearls, and such.

The other is a hodge-podge of observations, random stories and idiosyncracies of living in semi-urban India.  Sometimes the routine activities and day-to-day experiences in a foreign country are the best ways to learn about the culture…  these are meant to provide a light-hearted glimpse into life, with good intentions only.
