The Frontal "F"rase


Frontal means the forehead(dont bother much ppl its jus called "Showin off Medico" phenomenon chronically seeping into me reaching irreversible limits)....What i wanna convey is about fate and its consequences(to be frank fate itself is a consequence...baah chuck it, i'm complicating things!!)i actually wanna pen down a true yet amazing fact of my birth..
Literally speakin I am the third baby my mom was carryin about 22 years back,with the earlier two being miscarriages and to be even more precise was the 3rd and 4th baby.......(a long pause).....U guys thinking i am a nutmeg???Actually we were twins...(awwww)....When my mom got a routine check done in her early carrying days the reports said we were two...(awwww again!!!)...But...But....But...(true tollywood ishtyle) when she got a detailed exam after about 5th month the reports made my mom and the doctor dumbstruck in awe and a strange feeling called Shock perhaps!!!
This was and is a 1 in million type of a phenomenon called......(-kindly omit this space-)...Here what exactly happened was that when the Organogenesis(The organs were about to develop into proper shapes and sizes) process was initiated,both the foeti merged into one another and then came "THE ME"...Strange is'nt it??Anyways Sad but True that there is only one Dr.Nerve and no Dr.Hyde....missin him people...
This title suits it cos the amount of tolerance people around put with my exhuberance of youth is awesome and their fate is so well written that their acceptable tolerance limits wont be put to test by my Mr.Hyde as i call him!!!
Peace out People!!!

"BURKING"


Sounds similair to some kinda wierd agricultural phenomenon,though it is wierd you people will be surprised to hear that it aint an farmer's word but refers to a series of sensational acts of crime committed in early 1800's in Edinburgh.Actually Burking means "to avoid" or "suppress".
There were two persons involved in these heinous acts William Hare and William Burke.Both these induviduals used to invite their ill-fated victims(16 to be precise till they were caught by the long arm of law)
to their den for a treat of wine .After the victim is completely drooling in the sense of alcoholic perception started the eyebrow raising process where Mr.Burke used to sit on the chest of the victim and Mr.Hare used to hold the legs of the victim and pull him all along the circumference of the room.The forensic aspect of the cause of death in this case is termed as "Mechanical Asphyxia" where there is blockage to the air passages leading to deficient transfer of gases and lack of proper perfusion of the tissues with oxygenated blood leading to the Doom.
After the victims were confirmed dead those bodies were sold to the Anatomy Dept. of a medical school of Edinburgh to one Dr.Robert Knox.This formed the basis of the sudden deaths in Britain till 1820's when they were taken into custody and is still read by us under Asphyxial Deaths in Forensic Medicine.
