Earlier today, I had a small-group evaluation
that I’ve been quietly dreading
and frankly, I wasn’t sure I was ready.
See, I’ve neglected things of late
I had the flu and couldn’t concentrate.
But once that was over, I could focus,
and I did some uneducated guessing,
about what the physiology skill-drill might be.
My group peer-assessed me, and those guys can be savage,
and a fail on the quiz could block my module passage.
I showed what I’d prepared, 2-hours focussed on things like prioritizing diagnoses.
Their questions were pointed but they didn’t reveal their prognoses.
How’d I do? I haven’t a clue.
I was quivering with exhaustion when I was through.
The professeur seemed pleased, and I got a few nods and smiles,
in my clinical-presentation debut.

non-compensatory - A fail in ED/PBL can block module passage
Seaside cottage
Laguna Beach
Nectarine colored coral reefs
Gardens by the sand.
The meadow lake glistening blue
The evening sunlight lilac beam
Blueberry sundaes a blue true
June desserts, we’re a team.
My love where have you gone?
My face like snow that’s white
He touched my face that night
He said it lit like light.
You have betrayed me lover
I’ll never be your other
So, so long my friend.
Meri dushmani me tun itna giray ga kabhi socha na tha,
Ye teri 295 wali gustakiyan tujhay lay dobain ge mur ja.
Note.Mujhay phansanay kay liye kuch aur socho kafiro..
Oye mamyan tay hath phairan walya,
Tun kithon gairat mand ay oye dus na?
Note.Sidhi tarah dus teka kadon lagna?
Oye me teray ton wadda bay gairat an oye,
Tun meri dhe rani nu yadya kyun ay oye ict?
Note.Oye mur ja oye teka kadon lawana ay?
Tun nay haq mehar dena ya nahi?
Mein teray khilaf qarwai karun ga.
Note.Kharcha pani kon day ga ict?
Me prudish tun bara wada namazi,
Me jhota makar tun ilm deen gazi.
Note.Ab khush tumhara tareef kiya?
Teri har chaal bay kaar,
LALA tun kaisi Sarkar?
Note.Wajna fire e ay..
Shesha tutda awaz tenu andi,
Way Tun tay mera dil torya..
Note.You broke my heart..
Pyar kar iqrar kar inkar kar,
Khamosh reh ya izhar kar,
Chahay jo bhi tun kar Lay,
Tujhay apna dil denay ka
Hai maza lazat lutf suroor.
Note.Artist Kalakar Fankar.
You came one raining night
You stepped out of the machine of flight
Talks by the candle light
Whispers of things so nice
Feelings of lust inticed
Those meetings in Taunggyi, the city of snowflakes and ice
The secrets that we kept from them
Though secrets kept, love sufficed
My Aldebaranian soldier of celestial fights
Your hair is like the color of ebony night
Your skin is like the color of the yellow sun light.

Their sky is blue,
As the calmness they seek
Their blood is red,
Igniting pugnacious determination to survive
Their sun is yellow
Ever glowing golden ray of nurture
Their forests are green
Overlapping shrubs of mystery stirring curiosity
Their hearts are violet,
Like a bowlful of sweet yet sour grapes
They are individuals
Nothing more and nothing less
They are me, you and all of us
We are painters who colorize imagination
Revealing the spectrum of life.

Hey up me old mucker,
