Stupid Things that I have done in My Life

Stupid Things that I have done in My Life

I am glad to say I never did stupid things in my student days.

I was way ahead of other kids.

I hated Scouting.

I did Junior Cadetting and went to Diyathalwa on three occasions and last time as the Sergeant.  Every year of visiting to Diyathalwa was worse than the previous occasion including food and free time. I excelled in sports and we were third in the overall championship. Even, if we came first, I do not thing I would have taken army as my career.

 

Only thing that I enjoyed was watching the streams of butterflies coming down the hills. 

I felt butterflies were much freer and I wish to be free as butterflies on air and no bondage.

 

A very Buddhist attitude of mine.

I was thrashed by the cadetting master until the Albizzia

(Persian Silk Tree) 

stick broke into many pieces, for refusing to join the senior cadetting unit.

My idea was to join the university (never wanted to become a doctor) on the first attempt.

There was another teacher, very considerate who even discourage me taking o part in even in athletics.  I used to beat his elder son in the class in academics and he should have made me to divert my attention to other things. I was active in Wall Papers and he said they are useless activities and you have potential to go to the university, it is difficult but try that instead.

His son who became a good friend entered university on the third attempt and became a very good Veterinary Surgeon. I used to meet him, also I used to visit him (forget why) in the Veterinary Hospital which was next door to the brand new Japanese built Dental School, where I worked as a pathologist.

 

Coming to the current topic, I used to do stupid things as a medical student including gambling once year at Bogambara, Mr. Balasuriya's  casino joint.

 

1. I would start with the last thing first.

Volunteering to Coronavirus jab was one of them.

Vaccines should be time tested (it takes 20 years or more for them to become safe) before introducing them in mass scale.

Nearly 20 million died on vaccine related incidents which WHO is hiding the real figures.

I ended up with Myocarditis which almost killed me, which ended up me writing two books one on Coronavirus and the second on Interleukins.

 

2. The next worst thing I did was to volunteer for alcohol test in Pharmacology (third year).

Both of us ended up as unconfirmed alcoholics. I weaned myself 6 years ago, I do not know about my friend who is in Isle of man as a Radiologist. I met him last in our 50 year anniversary in Ceylon. He does not respond to my emails. 

By the way, I have stopped sending emails to any, now.

3. Third was the worst.

I volunteered to test myself with Radioactive Thyroxin in the first year.

I do not know, the dose they gave me.

Its radioactive trace effects lasted over one year.

Of course, they built the Nuclear Biology Unit, on the rear side of the Medical Library, exposing medical students to the hazards. 

It was a Department of Physics Project.

As a seconded officer in the University, I activated the campaign opposing it on the grounds they were using unsuspecting young girls in the Kandy District.

This guy probably hated me (he was a PhD guy) and I never saw him.

Incidentally he was from my collage.

I was interested in Thyroxin and I wrote a Protocol (It was probably related to grey hair), for a guy who I considered a friend of mine on the understanding that he would mention my collaboration.

He did not.

I ended up doing a research project (Penetration Study of Linux) with a young guy.

I did most of it but told him not to mention my name at all.

I wanted him to take Linux as a career but he did not.

We had a nice meal before leaving Ceylon.

I did the wrong thing of telling him of his weaknesses which included believing in astrology and the Manios (maniacs). 

I did with good intentions.

Now he does not respond to my emails.

Ego or personality are the biggest hindrance to progress in this modern world.

I hope President Donald Trump, take a leaf out of my experiences.

He is older than me but President Putin is younger.

Well I am into five books.

They need finishing touches.

There will be less of blog pieces here.

I have downloaded all my Linux images.

Just today, I noticed, Debian has all the images in Linuxtracker.
