Thankgod it's Thursday?

The state assembly elections are over but the graduate student board (GSB) elections are starting here this weekend. Walk into the cafetaria or the dining hall the election talk is abuzz. There has been some (latent) campainging as well. Midterm exams are also next week. That will make us busier for a while.

Some cases of chickenpox infection were reported here. Some of my section mates were on medical observation. Fortunately with the help of some students, who are also physicians, a vaccination camp was organized. The first round of medication was administered today. As a safety measure I signed up. The whole process took less than a couple of minutes.

And for some funny moment in class - I'll rephrase it as closely as possible. Professor is explaining the concept of new ideas.

Prof: .....Pilcam is an example. It is a pill with a camera in it. How can it be used?

Student-1: Endoscopy

Prof: Good. The patient swallows the pill and it takes pictures of the oesophagus.

Student-2 who had been listening all along innocently interjects.

Student-2: Sir....but how does the pill come out?

The whole class bursts into laughter
