Rain and more rain !

My mother was talking the other day about the incessant rains in Kerala and Tamil-Nadu and the damage it has done to lives and property there. At this time of the year, it's really unheard of....So is the case here in Missouri and the Midwest in general. Is this climate change telltale signs of global warming or is this something we are yet to figure out, but conveniently pointing our fingers at GW ?? I took this photograph of what really is the intersection of I-44 and Mo-141 . The wrath of river Meramec was very evident.

Elsewhere in Sepang, Malaysia , things were hot and humid and on Easter day we saw a small resurrection , in Ferrari' Kimi getting the better of Lewis Hamilton and thus beginning his serious title defence . Luck was not with Massa however , as he spun out into the gravel....he really threw it away !

Last night I was in awe watching the story of Terry Wallis and his post "19-years-of-coma" life. He suffered massive brain injuries as a 19 year old and magically came out of his coma after 19 years in 2003. In the process he lost the emotion of 'love' and finds it hard to accept his daughter and wife. he has lost his capacity for short term memory too. He still thinks Reagan to be the president. The human brain never ceases to amaze one . Terry's brain slowly started regenerating / rewiring to regain the lost connection paths to a structure , which is now not anything like usual human brain. Talking about human brain, did you know the brain has no pain sensation as there are no nerves there that can register it and hence the surgeons can do their probing when the patient is conscious !!

I always wanted to be a surgeon :-), some one who uses a knife to save lives, not to mention, being God for those who end up in the operating room, with only a desire to live. It's perhaps one of the noblest professions around......I am not a surgeon, but I definitely do not want to end up seeing one any time.

Well, that's it for now...wish you a happy Easter and a belated Holi !! Have a colorful week ahead !
