hey tia.... Immuno i think we shdu listen to the lectures wich makes things very easy... so there are some 7 hr sof lectures , do listen to them.

and micro.... i am very good at cramming and short term memory challenges...so i am very confident that i can do it even in 3 days time... But i wont like to do it that way though.

I am taking it like thissss...... bacteria groupssss.. Gram + cocci one day, next day Gram + rods , next day Gram -ve aerobes , etc etc.. next enterobacteriacae, etc etc..and evry day we shud review our past learnt bacteria/virus for an hour or so... just quick revision so as to keep them floating in ur brain ....and yeah better we keep these cramable subs like anatomy, phrama, and micro to the last and finish immuno mol bio genetics, path early with solid foudnation to build up in our very short 2nd and 3rd reads. ... so liek that i shall finish it in max 7 days...and similarli virology..one can finish in 3 days..... mycology one day... and parasitology in one day.... one day doest mean one full day... it means its included in that days schedule...

So whole micro can be done very effectiveli in 10 days max... withoout over burdening our brain with crammable material at a stretch .. we share the stress over 10 days... cos we hav imp concepts for our brain to learn ..isnt it...



hey mileee... That video is simply such a super idea.... Hatsoff to that guy who cares so much for his friend IVY.

Hi Kalyann, Your journal has been a pep for me to start prep after putting it off for nearly 7 years. I look up to you - there will be ups and downs - just keep treading forward - I do believe you can do it ...because of your running I started to crawl. So keep up the spirit and read your first page of your journal if you need motivation ( I do it!) Just keep at it .... Good luck !

  #122

hi target
i always thought kalyann is a person who inspires everyone and he is the strong one who we turn to .but i am only partially right .you made me relise that we too must push him sometimes so we dont loose him .

kalyannn come back nodnodwe need you .

you made me feel better and u disappeared .please read my journal when u find time to see how you helped me come out of the negative thoughts .

  #123

Kalyan ...you are forgetting something that there is no place for negative words like forgetting dreams ...in your journal !!!!!

if its not too much to say........i read it somewhere, that belongs to you -

"Don’t give up after first half, focus on winning the second half "

one more is,
Courage is grace under pressure

you have them already with you and you definitely will emerge as a winner !!!!
(again these are your words !!!)

Ok buddies.. Love u all.

I SHALL DO IT FOR THE HAPPINESS I CAN SEE IN MY MOM's eyes , I SHALL DO IT FOR ALL MY FRIENDS HERE..... so that they can proudly re-affirm that they are Kal's Friends...

so guys... thanks for making me remember my own inspiring collection of words.. .Sometimes... one gets tense in the prep that we dont look at the bigger picture and start looking at obstacles in our path when we lose focus....etc etc...

Thanx for showing confidence in me.... I shall live up to that ... God will...

I love the way Janaki got inspired by my inputs.... Thanks sis for ur support here....

And Target... u were right on target. with ur latest post in my journal... Cos i was lost in my time keeping schedule in my prep... i forgot to read my journals first page itself... i read it the first minute i saw ur latest post....

wow man..... i am up for it again now......................



And many people who are writing the exam are also letting me know that the exam is not abt minor information pieces... its all abt the most common concepts and diseases....its all abt how u can cope with time pressure .... nothing much intimidating... all u nee dto do is KEEP YOUR COOOL during prep and also during exam... u will definitely excel it and get a very good score.

And yeah guys i removed those negative thoughts and words from my previous post...

There is no rooom and time for such pessimistic attitude in my journal....



Aims :

1. Complete First Read of all subs by Feb 29th

2. Complete UW q's for Physio + Biochem + Genetics + Microbiology by Feb 29th

3. Will do Q's in bulk mode... wondering wat it is.... heheheheh... its doing 200 q's at a stretch... or the maximum no. of Q's for that subject in UW.....and then review it leisurely all thru left out days til Feb 29th..

4. I WILL LIVE UP TO THIS ............ come what may.... This is the turning point in my prep..


Come on Kal..... You have to do this.... Its very very very important stage in ur prep.....

Pls lord grant me the patience and stamina to do this Sprint.............







When i pray everything is to God but when i work everything is upto Me

So go for it .. Kal......



If i Think i can,
i can;
if i Think i cannot,
i cannot;

And in both the cases i am right...
