First

Greetings! Or nomaashkaar in Bengali (with obligatory head shake). The head shake pretty much punctuates every thing I say these days. It will be hard to shake the habit when I get back to Singapore. Hur hur hur.

2nd full day in Kolkata today. Off to see a patient in 10 minutes so this will have to be short- some guy with psoriasis who can't take any other day off during the week (it's sunday) so we're going in just to see him today. It's been quite exciting so far and it's nice to have moved into a permanent place (with tv and star sports, no less) and quite a lot of time to get acquainted with the people around here. I'm living off Sudder Street, a pretty touristy area for backpackers , hippies and curiously, lots of Koreans, who are mostly working for the Mother Theresa homes.
