Hello

[Guest guest]

Hi there Vidya. I definitely knew your father, Well, that rather dates me.

Malini Panchpakeshan is the same Malini who writes under the pseudonym of 'l

pk' and signs as Malini. I am sure she will talk to you. She is a

proliferate writer and a very vocal holder of ideas on this site.

I hope you will do the same. A warm welcome to you.

Hi Vidya,

How's everything? When did you visit US? How come you never contacted us or

Anil?

Hi, Vidya, sent you a personal mail yesterday. Not sure if u got it....

remember very fondly your parents. Cannot forget all the home cooked meals

and affection. They used to invite me over for all the functions/festivals.

Was enquiring about all of u the last time I was in Sewagram. Poonam filled

me in. Was sad to hear about dad. How is mum? Keep in touch.

This is Gursharan from Ludhiana, Punjab. I am of 82 batch but took

migration to Punjab in 1984. Hope my batch members remember me. I

missed the silver jubilee, but visited the same ashram in Dec. 2008

and had lunch with Poonam. I really repented having not visited the

Silver Jubilee. I have been following this group dominated mainly by

Ravin, MOnica and Malini. It would be my pleasure to help any body in

this part of the country.

I am thrilled to see the responses, which took me down the memory lane of? 1982.

I visited the same Ashram with my daughter and son who are 14 and 11 yrs old and

my wife in dec. last. There was a sea change in the ashram. I stood there in the

cricket ground for quite some time. The same road now goes to Nagpur. I tried to

find the shop who used to make good curd, but Wardha was all changed. Bipin and

Poonam provided the awesome company ( beyond my imagination).

?????????????????? Actually It was an election of National IMA in Patna on the

same day which clashed with our silver jubilee. I had some official

responsibility of the elections, which could not be left to any body else. Can

you believe that I migrated to Faridkot Medical college, which also celebrated

silver jubilee in 2007 in Simla. DEspite being a organiser in that I did not

attend it .

???????????????? I did my MD in medicine in DMC Ludhiana who celebrated Silver

jubilee in Ludhiana only at a distance of 1 km. from my place. Still I did not

go. Perhaps I never regarded all those batches as my own and my soul? was with

my original batch. The memories attached to SEvagram were tremendous.

?????????????????? Yashbir Dewan of 80 Batch is here in Ludhiana as Head of

Neuro surgery in CMC Ludhiana. Chhangu (Ashwani) was in Chandigarh and I learnt

Echo cardiography from him. But he has moved to US about 5 yrs. back. My

personal email id is? zeeess@....

Hi Vidya, good to read your mail after such a long time. Tried to get your

contact number from other Medicine PGs but failed. How are you doing? Remember

our good 'ol PG days in Medicine dept? I do keep talking to some of our

colleagues like Sami. Also met Praveen garg recently at our get-together at

Ambala.Keep in touch.

Greattt Sir, I still remember you me and Sandhu listening to a few cassettes

together in your room. Unfortunately We lost Sandhu. That was perhaps the

biggest loss. I'd be delighted to serve your relatives. For that I have sent you

a seperate mail from my personal id.

Thanks,

So Sorry to miss you. My centre was just adjoining the CMC by the name of Gee

Ess Heart Centre and General Hospital right at the Baba Than Singh Chowk.

Pramod and (USA) are my very close friends. I had been the IMA President

for seven years in Ludhiana and hosted National Conference of IMA ACADIMA 2005

IN Oct. 2005.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? There had been a big turmoil in CMC last month and had to

resign in the dirty internal politics of CMC. Really Really bad for CMC. After a

gap of 10 years non christian faculty is again feeling threatened. Do tell me

whenever you visit Ludhiana. Bring your son along and enjoy the delicacies in

our company. Shivinder sandhu, HOD of SPM in CMC is also from Sevagram.

Dear Sir

I do remember the clinic being somewhere in the same vicinity..........as for

Baba Than singh chowk........thats the one for chhole bhature........if i am not

mistaken.........so how are the galli- kuccha's of Ludhiana..........

I know pramod he was a nice guy.........and yes there is loads of

internal politics in that place ........where good people are

overstepped........ and the manipulative win..........but i think thats the

story for all the institutions........ thats why a wise decision of not being an

integral part of any such system but just be in touch with the

system...........I burnt my fingers at a very early stage ..........now i am

quite happy in the Corporate world where no one pretends to be your

friend.........they are all there for the competition.......... you would be

Surprised to Know............they do turn out to be better friends and collegues

than many of the other places of education and training........

Infact john pramod and Mohan Verghese are 2 people whom i owe a lot in CMC had

a gr8 time there............dont know when i will really plan to come there

............but thats the place i want to visit again..........

I am already aware of glaucoma being a side effect from some of my

medicines. Being asthmatic all of my life, I am thankful that I can

breathe. I have already set up my mind that in my older age, glaucoma is

a given. I just hope that they can fix that....there are wonderful eye

surgeries....or not. I have given in to the fact that at least I can

breath....eyesight might go a little wrong. I am 52.....seen my

grandmother with asthma have glaucoma. She adjusted...at least she

breathed. She lived to be 100 years old!

The destructions for Qvar mention a glaucoma risk. I keep meaning to mention this wehn I see the nurse, as there is a history of glaucoma in my family. I don't think my dad has developed it yet, as I still have to pay for my eye check ups.

I have been reading all of your posts for a while now. I think I have only posted once or twice since I joined. I so agree with everyone regarding family support. My sister has finally understood my asthma better, and my husband is getting better at it too. Anyway, I have something I want to share with everyone. My husband has allergies, and he was taking sudafed almost daily. He just developed glaucoma, and when he went for a follow-up pressure reading on his eyes, his numbers had gone up again. It turns out, decongestants are bad for his eye pressure. Over the weekend, at a wedding, a friend said she now has glaucoma. She was taking Alegra-D for her allergies. Her doctor told her to stop taking it. What I want to say is: I hope everyone has their eyes checked regularly, whether or not you are having vision trouble. It is important to have your eyes checked for glaucoma regularly.

Hello

Hi,

I have been reading all of your posts for a while now. I think I have only

posted once or twice since I joined. I so agree with everyone regarding

family support. My sister has finally understood my asthma better, and my

husband is getting better at it too.

Anyway, I have something I want to share with everyone. My husband has

allergies, and he was taking sudafed almost daily. He just developed

glaucoma, and when he went for a follow-up pressure reading on his eyes, his

numbers had gone up again. It turns out, decongestants are bad for his eye

pressure. Over the weekend, at a wedding, a friend said she now has

glaucoma. She was taking Alegra-D for her allergies. Her doctor told her

to stop taking it. What I want to say is: I hope everyone has their eyes

checked regularly, whether or not you are having vision trouble. It is

important to have your eyes checked for glaucoma regularly. Here is a link

I found regarding taking anti-histamines and decongestants:

I need to go back and reread my papers for Qvar and the rest of them for that matter, but you know what's annoying with this? Treating asthma comes with a price tag, and not just money wise but other conditions as well over time from the meds! Like I know my mitral valve can tear at anytime, it already doesn't shut all the way. but for right now I have to live for today and this moment so I have to take the meds

Yeah, it's pretty much a pick and chose situation. Breath or die. It's one

or the other.

Re: Hello

I am already aware of glaucoma being a side effect from some of my

medicines. Being asthmatic all of my life, I am thankful that I can breathe.

I have already set up my mind that in my older age, glaucoma is a given. I

just hope that they can fix that....there are wonderful eye surgeries....or

not. I have given in to the fact that at least I can breath....eyesight

might go a little wrong. I am 52.....seen my grandmother with asthma have

glaucoma. She adjusted...at least she breathed. She lived to be 100 years

old!

My heart aches for your family - I totally understand...

The OCD has such a stronghold on her right now,there will be no reasoning with

it. She can't help it right now. Once she gets on proper meds and the OCD lets

loose a bit, and you begin CBT - things will get better - they really will. I

would look into Melatonin for bedtime - sleep is an important one to tackle (for

the whole family) I wonder how she is even functioning in school - she must be

so tired and absorbed in rituals....

I read a wonderul fictional book Kissing Door knobs - it's about a girl fighting

OCD/counting - it is a realistic look into the life of a teen with OCD - it has

a happy/realistic ending...If she likes to read - it may make her feel less

alone...

Best of luck

Keep us posted.

> Hello everyone,

> I have a 16 year old daughter who is currently undergoing the work-up for OCD.

I have noticed the social isolation for the past 4 years but thought it was

simply part of 'growing up.' It has become such as issue now and when she is

approached, she becomes quite angry. She is up late at night and it is a

constant battle in the mornings.

> When I finally got her to talk, she told me counts things and have a hard time

sleeping because she cannot turn her mind off. We met with a therapist last week

and she wants us to meet with the psychiatrist since she thinks it is OCD.

ventures out of her room. I am wits end trying to reason with her and not get

into a verbal battle or a crying meltdown. I came to understand she also

attempted to cut her wrist when I threatened to remove her room door in an

effort to get her out of her room.
