\section{Half baked analysis and Questions!}
I do accept that analysing only my writings won't be the best method to trash the entire idea of generation of novel content. But, it is quite true that new ideas are hard to come by. Most of the times, ideas tagged new are just repackaged versions of existing ones. Still it is quite true that some 20 articles I have written should not be the base for the conclusion that there is no novelty in content. But I do believe it is quite right to raise the question, "How much of it is novel". On top, "while you reward packagers, what is the plan for original content generators?", should be examined as well. Another question is of effectively tapping into the new markets and opportunities in distribution, brought forth by advancements in technology.

It has been almost a month after the last note. Considering that the last note took sometime to complete (around 2 weeks), it is still a long time with out any news. A lot happened during this period. My sister went back to the US, and Mom and Aunt came to help me and father. An alumni meeting happened at JNV on December 5th. I was not able to attend. So I sent a message through one of my friends. Got discharged and readmitted for third cycle. Still playing rummy with Father and as of now, around 650 points down. Incidentally, I got one more paper published (Rasagna did all the work. Thanks to him). Since I have around 4 papers on different Pattern Recognition subject, I guess it is high time now that I started reading some basics. Still reading "Orientalism" By Edward W. Said.
My notes almost always start with some observations I make of myself or from some conversations I had with someone. I am not changing the routine. What really triggered this note is again a conversation with my sister. I gave the 4 chapters I finished so far for her to read and she commented on them. Pointed out some mistakes (mostly spelling/grammar). Then she asked me to write about my nurse friends, the closely built slum like houses beside CMC, etc.

Or may be its my problem. I might be out of place. The niche and weird character that doctors and nurses see in me might be true. But I believe the thoughts and ideas I developed and words I write as this guy is far more better. For me, they are progressive, they are liberal. May be society does not have a place for niche and weird. You might get into the stereotype intellectual. I tried to beat that appearance by growing a long beard and hair at same time and carefully seeing to wear shorts and t-shirts. But it might not work always. People like to compartmentalize. The most recent complaint I heard of compartmentalization was from the National Award winning actor, Salim Kumar. Even though he was talking about the trends in cinema field, what he said holds true for any field. It is a part and parcel of the simplistic view my friend suggested to me instead of the complex words and ideas. She is someone who is trained to nurse ailing patients and thus, knows the complex anatomy and physiology of human beings are not anywhere near simple. I don't know why she then wants the thoughts of human beings to be simplistic.
The answer, I think, lies in the fact that simple doesn't really mean simple, but accepted world view. From her perspective and many others' I know during the years, it is not right to fight the wrongs in the world. Some time fighting wrong just gets us being portrayed as proponents of wrong, though we were never anything like that. :)

Then the change started. From limited moving man from BMTU, I had be in full rest ICU patient in Isolation Unit. I was not able to inhale enough oxygen in to keep my self alive. Even with normal oxygen mask, they were giving me high pressure oxygen at 15 liters or so initially every two hours. It was kind of killing, a chilling 21 degrees and just one cotton gown over you with fever coming and going along with involuntary bowel and bladder movements. I took fights with each and everyone to kill my frustration, tried to find some comfort by praying. But sadly, it didn't help much. Then I decided it was better to show the right emotion. I cried, heart felt and cried. It worked a little better. Once the tears were over, things felt better. Rather than trying to adjust to the situation, I tried to fit myself into it. I had no idea how long it would take me to get out and how I will be when I get out.
The toughest of the nights in the ICU was like that of any other new place, the first one. Though a bed was requested in the morning, by the time I got into isolation room in ICU it was evening 7. The room was kind of self sufficient and had lot of breathing machines, all of which they used to keep me alive. I am quite sure I was not the most co-operative patient they had. I threw out the high pressure oxygen mask when they connected it to such an effect that, the duty doctor got angry and shouted back at me. :) Since they don't use the Hiccmann's line, ICU people first put a line on my neck. Then later they found that it was making difficulties to flows while high pressure mask is connected. So they put one more line just above the thigh on my pelvis area.
