Operation Gall Bladder:

Wednesday, 15-July-2009 A Blog after long time and the topic is Operation. I do not like this. Before writing this topic I went through my previous blog and I found that slight improvement in English and more important improvement in describing my thought. Now a days I am using less winword for spell check compare to past. One of strong reason to start writing blog is to improve English and ease in describing my idea or thought. I think I am on the wright way. Let me come back on Topic.
A historic day in life as I went through minor operation of gall bladder removal. Although it was minor operation which is for doctor but for me and my family it was major operation and it was historic because it almost removed my fear of operation (Real devil in today’s world) from my mind which is like wining long standing battle. Anyway I would liked to mentioned that I was never scared about this operation as I was knowing what exactly going to happen in operation theatre (seen same operation on Google) and no other option left for me except to operate. Operation details are: Operation: Gall Bladder Removal Date: 23-Jun-09 Tuesday Time: 2pm Type: Laparoscopic Operation Doctor: Maulik Parikh Clinic: Shreemay Clinic I was amazed by the today’s technology as only 1 day hospitalization was required and they just done 4 holes in stomach, no stitches not marks after operation. I was 90% recovered after 7 days and fully recovered after rest of 2 week. Hardly any pain specially after surviving 6 painful strokes, some of them were lasted for 15 hours. It was horrified experience and now I feel that I have taken delayed decision to operate actually I should get operated when it was diagnosed. Luckily nothing wrong happen. I am absolutely fine now and feeling better. It cost me 33k all including. Luckily my company is providing Medical Insurance worth 3 Lac which covers most of the decease. Cost I mentioned here as I want my entire friends to get medical Insurance as soon as possible, it is worth. Let me brief about function of gall bladder. As per me it is 2nd non functional unit in body after appendix, although it is not non functional but with out it one can live as same as normal person. Gall bladder stores bile (liquid which is responsible for digestion of food) released from liver. And it pumped all stored bile into stomach when food enters stomach and valve open. So ultimate function of gall bladder is to store extra bile when stomach is empty. My gall bladder developed stones inside bladder this stone known as gall stones. These stones are as dangerous as it small and I was having tiny gall stones. One of the symptoms is immense pain when you eat oily or fatty food. I went through 6 painful strokes as I mentioned earlier. Out of these 3 were more painful (dangerous). More dangerous part is if any of these tiny stone went and stuck in main duct bile pipe (a pipe which carry bile and released them in stomach) lead to jaundice and some time diabetes so better to get rid of it when it is diagnosed. Biggest plus point of operation was I have enjoyed staying with family and complete rest during these 15 days of leave and negative point was I have to scarifies my most of the leave I saved for Leh trip which was supposed to be in July starting. Anyway I can postpone Leh next year not the operation. Here I would like to mention that Dhara and my sister have given tremendous support during hospitalization and during recovery period. I am a person who do n’t like to thank on such medium (blog) is not required but second thought is what is wrong in using this medium to thank them. I am also thankful to all my friends who called me to ask my well wishes and who did not call me as they did n't know about it.

A trip to Aurngabad














































Thursday, 27-Apr-2009
I was planning to go Aurangabad for some times but unable to do so for one or more reason. I have been there before and I find place so much beautiful that I have decided to come back in future. another reason is I want Dhara to Visit that place.

Finally day arrived when I got 3 days continuous leave in Company. Date were 10,11,12 April 09. As usual it was last moment planning, you can not expect me to plan in advance. So I was not getting confirmed rail ticket for Mumbai to Aurangabad. frankly I never prefer travel by bus, but circumstance is such that I have to travel by Bus. So I booked Volvo AC - Sleeper. Against my thought it was wonderful journey as bus is superb(Volvo), Clean and specious. I must mention that I enjoyed journey very well. We depart at 10 pm. on 9th april from Sion and reach Aurngabad at 7.30 am. I have booked MTDC tourism resort in Aurangabad for 2 days.

Resort is located at ideal location. near to railway station and bus station. MTDC has good resort, I can recommend this resort to all.
Same day we have booked MTDC's tourist bus for one day sight seen which includes devgiri fort (Dualtabad Fort), Ellora, temple, Bibi-Ka-Makbara. Charge is 200 pp. It was good deal. Guide provided by MTDC is good and having good knowledge of all the places. Dultabad is very nice fort and famous for it's security measure taken while building fort.

Next Ellora, Ellora is name of town near which there are 40 odd caves was built durign 7 to 9th century.First word came out from me is Wow, First few caves are Budhdhas, next few caves are Hindus, and last few caves ar Jain. Caves are made by cutting mountain with use of Hammer and Kill. I simply do n't understand that how it(Cave) could be built by people during that time. Even in todays time we won't be abel to create marvel like this. It is truly Man Made Marvel, I must rate this ahead of Tajmahal(agra) which was built in late16th century. Cave 14 or 16 is Kailash Mandir, a hindu temple, a big factor for me to visit this place again. you can say I was in Aurangabad to see this mandir only. Kailash Mandir is far, far better than all these Swaminarayan mandir(Gandhinagar, Delhi), Lotus temple Delhi) which was built recently. it is unique peice of creativity. There were number of elephant, Lion, tiger are sculptured bu cutting rocks. If have to pick any one cave from all Ellora and Ajantha Cave, it is surely Kailash Mandir. every one need to visit this place.

Bibi ka Makbara is also good sight. It was copy of tajmahal that waht people say. I am quite and disagree with it. It looks like Tajmahal, but most portion is made by PoP(Plaster of Paris).

Next day we went to Paithan, 90 km away from Aurangabad. It was good place. in Paithan we went to Dam, Paithan Garden. I have not seen many dam, but I can bet paithan by far the best dam I have visited, and I am sure it will remain best for future, Paithan Garden is identical copy of Vrindavan Garden, in evening we seen musical Fountain show in garden. It was treat to watch it. Paithank is famous for it's Paithani Silk Saree. I was extremly lucky that Dhara did not find any good saree, Punjabi Dress which suit her. Otherwise you know what I mean....

Final Day, on 11 Apr we went to Ajantha, a place which tops the chart in man made marvel list. All efforts and word are short to describe beauty of this place, Caves, Location. I must mention that Government are doing great job in order to protect this world heritage sight. I have seen many new positive developments compared to my last trip which is a god sign.

We return Aurangabad around 6.30 in evening had dinner and went to railway station to catch our train. we arrived Dadar (mumbai) in early morning 6.30 pm on Monday.


It was nice trip, I must suggest everybody to visit this place if not.

A perfect Christmas – 2006

Thursday, 08-Jan-2009
This article is on 2006 Christmas Which I spent in Saputara with one of my best friend Shrenik. What a Christmas, we thoroughly enjoyed although we spent good money to enjoy it.
Let me tell you about Shrenik first. We are a school friend and as I believe school friend are best friends, we too best friend of each other. Anyway it is different that now a day we are not in touch on frequent basis but still he calls me from Bangalore and I used to call him from Mumbai at least one in a month or specific occasion. Best memories we share are cricket, playing card, Navaratri and off course movie. We used to bunk tuition class and school in order to watch movie, cricket and playing card. It was indeed happiest time for both of us.
In December 2006, I used to work in Mumbai and he was in Ankleshwar working in Fertilizer Company. On phone we have decide to meet each other either at my place or his. Most liked thing about Shrenik is his willingness, he hardly used to say No to any proposal, whether it is to bunk school for movie, tuition class for match or anything. This time same thing happen, He is ready for Idea of meeting each other.
After discussion on phone Instead of meeting at my or his place we have decided to meet at central place. We have decided to celebrate Christmas in Saputara, intension behind is just to pass good time as we both like each other’s company and not met each other for almost 5 year. That is how we planned Saputara.
We both met at Navasari, Central place for both of us to go Saputara. We almost met around 10 p.m. on Saturday. Then we went to bus stand Navasari, there we came to know that bus will come around 12. So we went for dinner, we have chosen one good Punjabi restaurant. I must mention that it was nice dinner. Then we went bus stand. Remember it was Christmas time so there was huge traffic as all the buses were running full. So we prepared for fight to get our seat. Bus came full, so we got our place around Steps of entrance. We had fight with driver and conductor on some issues I do n’t like to mention it here. Then we reach Saputara around 3 am in night. We started searching hotels but all managers or assistant of hotels were sleeping so it was hard to get room in hotel. Most of the hotels were full due to holiday season. In between we able to find room in good hotel, but in negotiation we became too aggressive with manager and then he requsted us to leave his hotel. At last we able to find a room in top most hotel Kite – a Lake resort. Well placed hotel and if we have to rank hotel in Saputara than this one come at 1st place. We paid 5000 for 1 Day for one double room and breakfast, lunch and dinner included. It was costly trip but we enjoyed it at best.
In next morning we went for boating we almost did it for 2 hours. We thoroughly enjoyed boating, while boating we were cherishing our school time memory. Then we did horse riding that is again for more than 2 hours. We were riding horse for first time as I was scared of horse, but believe me Horse riding is a fun, one should not miss it. We played Video game near by lake, we had good food during trip. It was indeed good time we passed together. We did boating, good food, fun, horse riding, ropeway. Is anything missing to complete this trip? Yes thrill, adventure was missing so while coming back we have decided not to travel by bus. We took Tempo and Stand behind open place. There are steep Ghat in Saputara during those curvy turning we are also moving for one corner to other in tempo. Believe me it was impossible to Travel till Chikhli like this. So we decided to get down on near by town. But we enjoyed that ride also.
Now we both are married and we both get good partner so some times in future we do plan thing like this.
