Through this window glass
I stare out for many answers
I feel the crispy wind
And I see the birds
I look for the possibilities outside
And the truth inside
Or is it the window to my soul
I see the clouds glide above the window
Why is there a pane of glass
Separating me from the truth and tears of joy
You complement each day of my life
You're indeed my soul
And the soul of my existence...Col Pradeep Pendyala
When you taste first slice of cake
When your parents are planning a special surprise
When the balls of red and gold allowed to shine
When you start hearing familiar Christmas carols
When the wintry sun appears with a sleepy head
When stars appear shivering in the sky
When St Nicholas comes down the chimney
When you start decorating the Christmas tree
When you find everywhere ribbons, packages and boxes
When there's thrill of hope
And your world rejoices
Christmas has truly arrived

My world is abuzz with soccer
The spirit of football everywhere
I've a thought
That would never go away
Argentina has ruled the roost
Though I couldn't give a hoot
My heart goes to Mbappé
He did win : people's hearts
And a Golden Boot

Anaesthesiologists should always remember few facts about few important drugs without fail. Firstly, the drug of choice in surviving sepsis campaign is definitely Norepinephrine. Dobutamine is the drug of choice in post operative cardiac surgery cases. Renal dose of dopamine is a myth because it doesn't increase GFR and it's better avoided for fear of arrythmias. Phenylephrine is pure alpha 1 agonist and it lasts only for fifteen minutes. Avoid giving more than 2 microgram per kg per minute for fear of severe vasoconstriction and ischemia. Ephedrine lasts for one hour. But it's a tendency of causing foetal acidosis by decreasing uteroplacental perfusion due to its vasoconstriction. Ephedrine releases Norepinephrine from nerve terminals and produces its effects. When hypotension occurs after general anaesthesia, volatile extra usage or after spinal anaesthesia, ephedrine is the drug of choice. But it can cause tachyphylaxis by its prolonged usage as the Norepinephrine stores get depleted. Among the two...amrinone and milrinone, milrinone is preferred as it doesn't cause thrombocytopenia. Milrinone increases the cyclic AMP by inhibiting phosphodiastrase and thus calcium entry increased and myocardial contractility too. When there's refractive hypotension in septic shock patients, try Vasopressin but it can cause diabetes insipidus and hyponatremia... Col Pradeep Pendyala
I always believed that people who've good sense humour are generally more intelligent. The ability to produce humour is a sign of cleverness. Funny people are always loved in the society and they do have higher IQ ( intelligence quotient). Moreover, higher humour sense is linked to emotional intelligence. Comedians and mimicry artists usually have very good sense of observation. More curiosity means more intelligence. Someone actually said that you can tell how smart people are by what they laugh at.

As a child, I saw many western movies ... The good, the bad and the ugly was definitely my favourite. But those days, there were no subtitles and the dialogues were very hard to understand. Everyone was seen killing each other... It's actually very difficult to know who's the good guy and who's the villain. All were good looking guys unlike Bollywood movies... You can easily make out who's the Hero. Many years later, once my nephew Akshit asked me, uncle, who's the bad guy in the movie... My answer was... I'm trying to figure out myself 🙂Col Pradeep Pendyala
