Murphy’s Law and Life

So the Murphy’s law says “If something has to go wrong…. It will” . And it did to an large extent in my life. I was suffering from Fissures since March 2010, got treated at various hospitals in Kuwait. Finally on October 26th got operated at Dar Al Shifa putting end to all my misery. At least I thought so, had the doctor at Dar Al Shifa paid little attention to his job and done further investigation down my anal canal probably he would have detected something was wrong… terribly wrong.

So after months of bleeding after the surgery and being sent back by the imbecile doctors at Dar Al Shifa that it was normal to pass ‘Mucus and blood’ 3-4 months after the fissures surgery, one fine day my bowel was blood red and it was very scary and this time I told the doctors that something is wrong and and I am scared and finally they opted for a colonoscopy.

And as NOT expected, I was diagnosed with colorectal tumor of size 4cm which was blocking 30% of my anal passage and causing all the bleeding. And thanks to the negligence the lymph nodes had already spread. A CT scan was done after my wife fought with the doctor who was adamant that CT was not required.  And luckily there is no distant metastasis and all my vital organs were OK.  So without no further delay, not risking my life at the mercy of Dar Al Shifa doctors, we moved to India the next day to Mumbai. and After consulting couple of doctors we settled down to Dr Kamran Khan at Joy Hospital Chembur. That was in April

Since then I have undergone radiotherapy and Chemotherapy (tablets) at the Jupiter Hospital at Thane, followed by a Major surgery at Joy hospital Under Dr Khan. Right now I am recovering from surgery well. I’ve got one more corrective surgery to put my colostomy back. Then I will be undergoing chemo again for a year I guess.

So that’s what happened in my life, while some of my relatives were joyous that I got cancer and will die soon. My wife has put up a brave front, she’s been standing by me like a pillar from day one. And I know by faith that this phase of my life will pass like a bad dream.

Lot’s of lessons learnt this year, and many more to learn. It’s not over until it’s not over !

Hello world !

Hello ! I’m still alive, how about you?

WTF ! I Just won 20,000KD from Wataniya Telecom



00966 503759183

Note this number. I just recieved a call from this Number

Me :Hello,
Caller: Hello, Are you Indian?
Me: Yes,
Caller: Can you speak Hindi?
Me: Yes,
Caller: (In Pakistani Urdu): You have just won 20,000KD on Behalf of Wataniya Telecom
Me:  Really?? Fuck Off !!

 I didn’t want to speak to the guy knowing that he will ask me to deposite 1ooKD in order to get the 20,000KD. Also I was being cautious because couple of months ago my Uncle did get similar call from Saudi Arabia and they made him send SMS to some number which cost him some amount of money before I intervened. It was really hard to make him understand that If ‘Zain’ (in his case it was Zain’s Lucky Number) wanted to him to have his 20K they would call him from Kuwait and not from Saudia.

I wonder how many people have fallen for this SMS hoax. Watch out ! There  isn’t such thing called free lunch.

WTF Zain

I have been a subscriber for Zain-EGO for a long time now,but guess  it’s time to say bye bye!. Reason? First I don’t remember ‘EVER’ making Zain as my homepage! But lately every time I log in and click on my ANY OF MY favorite pages, Zain home page pops up! WTF!! I mean come on guys! not enough that I put up with you guys even when you charged us for incoming calls un-till Viva entered the market, this is unfair

 

. … Just a sec ,Wait please … what? Viva is calling?? BRB!

WTF ! Longest Balloon Chain World Record

In another WTF (wow that’s funny) news, Marina mall is gearing to break the record for ‘Longest balloon chain in the world’. Now me being me and big fan of Guinness World Record where people try just about anything to that darn book (even i tried but can’t disclose the embarrassing details) is clueless about what good this record going to do for mankind or environment. Not taking anything away from the event organizers, I wonder how they gonna dispose all that rubber which could create serious environmental hazard if not taken care of properly.

Anyways kudos again,

WTF ! Building Demolition gone wrong.

Ok this was waiting to happen, A building opposite to Indian senior school in Salmiya Block 10 was being demolished in a funny manner. Don’t know how the ‘Engineers’ thought of demolishing the front portion first and then do the rest later. Portion of building collapsed in to the 1st floor of adjacent building. Not sure if there are any casualties. Cops were still around. here’s the picture.

Wow That's (not) Funny

 

WTF Don Bosco School??

Continuing from Previous post…

So finally I decided to camp outside the Don Bosco School at around 7pm, i wanted to go a bit late (i.e after eating my dinner) but had to skip it as the line was growing longer by the minute. I didn’t realize for atleast half an hour that I had to register my name on  a unofficial log book. Some of the parents who had come early had come up with an idea to register names and do the roll-call every hour. Anyone who did not/could not stand in the line for 3 roll calls his/her name was taken off.

So after the first roll call, I quickly went home, reinforced myself with thick jacket/sweater/ gloves/ muffler, anything i could grab on to keep me warm. And some snacks for the night. Time is a mothertucker when it comes to cold chill night!!!. Somehow met couple of friends, and made some new friends and tried to push time. Lot’s of discussion about what would happen in the morning as the school was giving out only 150 forms and my number was 200+ and too many hopeless parents behind me cursing the one who camped as early as 24 hours before the gates open because this mothertucker had certainly created panic and every one else was suffering.

Bonfire, smoke, snacks, farts, cold weather, we braced everything till morning hanging on a tiny hope that my son will get admission in one of the best schools in Kuwait which happens to be very near to my house. At 6.30 the gates opened, we moved closer and closer as the school kept rejecting parents who’s child was born before March 1st 2007 or after march 1st 2008. Even the ones who were born just a day or two before the dates. WTF!!! and rejecting others who had not brought the copy of the Civil ID card, WTH???. I mean imagine, a guy stands in a line for 24 hours depriving himself of water, food, toilet etc etc and in the morning he is rejected for a silly reason like ‘GO BRING A PHOTOCOPY’???  (OK it’s definitely their fault for not reading the notice board, but what ever happened to the ‘good Samaritan’?? )

This by far the most meaningless day of my life, I mean there are civilized ways to hand out forms, like put it on the school website perhaps?? HA??

Anyways.. as i inched closed to the gate with my pounding heart, if my son will get a seat for this ‘prestigious’ school, they  shut the door once 150 people were in, just 10 guys ahead of me. The school authority had no ‘courtesy’ to tell the people standing outside that they were not issuing anymore forms.

Sour grapes, i tell you! But hey !! i am glad that my Son did not get admission for Indian English Academy school, Kuwait. Because, I don’t want him to end up like one of them heartless people.

Don Bosco Sir, if you ever read this (bet you won’t) You SUCK!! Remember when Jesus rebuked disciples for not allowing little children come to him?? You just did that.. you denied my child. May God rebuke you!!

Indian Schools ! WTF!!

Some serious shizz happened, starting 2011 on wrong foot  i guess, we got confused between ISCK (Indian Community School Kuwait) Amman Branch and Salmiya brach and messed up with our sons admission for LKG. Don’t want to give details, because it’s really embarrassing on our part for not paying attention for tiny details. Anyways, as a backup plan, we wanted our son to go to Don Bosco School (Indian English Academy,Salmiya). I did check the school sometime back and know that the admission forms will be given out on 2nd Jan.

Parents standing outside Don Bosco school 24 hours before the LKG admission!

Today morning (1st Jan) I got a call from a friend who said you need to hurry to Don Bosco, they are giving admission forms, I said NO, NOT POSSIBLE, it’s tomorrow morning. But my friend insisted on checking on the school. I did run to the school, 15-20 parents standing outside the school gate. First I made sure that the admission forms are handed out on 2nd, then asked one of the parents ‘Dude! WTF? are you gonna stand here in the cold weather for 24 hours??

Answer was YES !

Wow that’s funny man! I bet you want your son to get top class education and all shizz, but standing outside the school gate 24 hours before the actual admission starts?? Damn! wish I loved my son that much.

Anyways, i have made plans to camp outside Don Bosco School starting this afternoon, don’t know how i am gonna hold my shizz till morning :/

Happy New Year Everyone !

Lost my Boy ….. Almost

Last night we were at the Avenues, Daphne was on a shopping spree. Now that my boy’s all grown up, we are not taking the trolley anymore. He’s like a free bird, running everywhere, so happy to be in the crowd as most of the days he’s at home. During weekends he’s like a prisoner out on parole, and I watch him very carefully as he’s never put up at one place.  I am VERY CAREFUL.

Well ! i guess i was over confidant about my carefulness. We were at the ‘Express’ which is having a bumper sale, its Saturday and as usual Avenues is packed. So my boy does what he does the best, i.e RUN!, and every time i bring him back not allowing him to get away too far. Then there is that moment, Daphne comes out of the changing room and is asking for my opinion, so i turn around, It must be less than 30 seconds and just when i turned around AJ’s gone missing. Assuming that he must be inside the showroom itself, I just casually search behind the stands.. could not find him. Now ‘Express’ shop has two sections men and women, since we were in Womens section, I thought he must have gone to the men’s section… But… I can not find AJ… Now it’s Panic time… I must make sure he’s not inside the shop.. so i search both the sections while trying to call my wife on the cellphone (as she’s gone back in again)… Time’s running out… I know i must find him… if it’s one more minute he could go out of my reach .. then it will be impossible to find him in that crowd.. DAMN!  the phone is saying .. ‘You have Zero Dinar and fuckty fuck fills…. Damn you Zain!! …

Now I’m sure that AJ is not inside ‘Express’ but has stepped out … OMG !!  Now I’m sweating !!

Then a thought .. as a salesman We are thought when a customer enters a shop  usually turns to the right … So i turn right… clinging on hope that AJ turned right !. I hear so many kids screaming and running but AJ is not there… OMG! think I’m going to faint …. My wife picks up the phone… just when I am about to tell her to search every corner of ‘Express’ .. I find AJ in the next shop holding some kind of face cream… I AM SO LUCKY he was standing near the entrance .. and had not gone deeper inside the shop which would have made it difficult to locate him and it would have been a mess.

Something I did, which I regret, i spanked him real hard…  He starts to cry.. But I gave him a bear hug and thousands of Kisses and I’m sure he must have wondered what’s wrong with this IDIOT !!!..

All this happened in less than 4 minutes … Boy ! i learnt a valuable lesson… When you go to the mall … Take the trolley! and never take eyes of your child…. and make an ID tag for the baby (since he doesn’t speak yet) with my phone number… and think clear… Shit Happens !

This is my boy

This is closer

Remember Mark’s Post (That was Close) about the guy who missed fatal accident by an Inch (or less!) … well .. this one beats that incident … This Guy gets moshed by an SUV … you gotta  watch what happens next
