I'll put it out here boldly because I know nobody cares what happens here and nobody that I know or matter follow me here.
I think Thiruthakkaththevar is a better poet than Kamban, but I wonder why his Seevaga Cinthamani isn't as famous as Ramavataram. Poor marketing? Or because he espoused Jainism?

Audiobook cover. India: A History by John Keay. Narrated by Mike Fraser.

Today, I found that an audiobook version was released on the 15th of January this year. I got it in audible. It's a long listen at 33+ hours.
I've restarted from the beginning. I don't mind redoing/listening to half the book again. It's worth it.

Question. What makes a guy like me happy?

Finding a #book that he's been looking for, of course.

I prefer listening to #history #audiobooks than #reading dead-tree versions.

I've been struggling with the dead-tree version of John Keay's India: A history for 2 years. I've completed about 50%

Are you right when it’s bright?
 
Bright cortex on DWI is classically anoxic injury
 
But mimics exist!
 
6 patterns
-Cortex+deep gray
-Diffuse Cortex
-Focal Cortex
-Limbic
-Deep gray
-WM
 
Ask 3 ?’s:
-Acute or chronic?
-Acute=metabolic & anoxic. Sz & encephalitis rarer & focal

Plate with realistic looking plastic models of 2 samosas and 2 kaaju katlis. With a background plaque that reads, National Diabetes Dyslipidemia Day.

They sure fooled me.

They are plastic models “for nutritional education.”

These primary care physicians are evil, I say. 🤬

White plate with 2 samosas and 2 pieces of kaaju katli.

The samosas and kaaju katlis look yummy, right?
I found them in my wife’s consulting room.
