Off the ventilator.

1. All about Mohanachandran.

Today's good news was that Mohanachandran has finally been unplugged from the ventilator. His parameters are under control and his medical bulletins were as under:-

    "Today happiness seems to be written on everybody's face. He has been taken off the ventilator
      for the first time and his vitals are normal for now. Eyes are still closed. The family has been
      asked to bring a pen drive with the voices of his granddaughter and other members along with
      his favourite songs etc to make him listen. If all is okay, he may be shifted out of the ICCU
      tomorrow".

     "The evening outlook continues to be the same. Within a couple of days he will be shifted to
       either the neuro ICU or the medical ICU".

Meanwhile, the medical bills are rising @ Rs.1 lakh per day. We, classmates, have taken a resolve to chip in and help the family as and when the situation demands, without hurting their pride.

Note. Can now understand as to how lucky we guys from the defence forces are in having the ECHS(Ex-servicemen Central Health Scheme) backing for life!

2. Unsolved Mysteries of the Jagannath Temple, Puri.

Were you aware of the following mysteries associated with the Jagannath Temple at Puri in Orissa?

      * The flag, atop the temple, flaps in the opposite direction of the wind.
      * The Neel Chakra will always face you, no matter where you stand in Puri.
      * The temple's main dome never casts a shadow at any time of the day.
      * No birds fly above the temple.
      * The 'mahaprasad' is cooked in seven earthenware pots placed on top of the other. The prasad
         in the top most pot gets cooked first.
      * The 'Avada'(Food) cooked in the temple will never be in shortage or surplus despite varying
         number of pilgrims.
      * The sound of the sea stops as soon as you enter the temple.

Note. These mysteries have, however, been contested too!



Tailpiece.

Kurup kochachhan is better and will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Thankfully, the medical problem could be brought under control thanks to the timely admission.
