I am recovering ...thank you so much

I had involved in a road traffic accident yesterday [27.01.2017 around 2.45 pm ] at Coimbatore city in Gandipuram Junction. When I was crossing the road through Zebra cross at the main junction and about finish the crossing, a motorbike came from my right side and hit on my right leg. I fell down on roadside .When look down I could confirm that my right ankle dislocated . Few lay people came to help me. I asked them to take me to a hospital. They caught an auto rickshaw and taken to me Ganga hospital. We reached Ganga around 3 pm, One young man accompanied me in autorickshaw. Even I could not sit into passenger seat. I sat on the floor putting injured leg outside. The leg was hurting too much with pain. I don't know the gentleman who helped me to take me to the hospital . I am so thankful to him, and I am praying for him.

I was in Coimbatore to attend a life savers conference -EMTP con at KG hospital. Many of our colleagues are also participating in the conference including students. God's grace I don't have any major internal injuries and head injury.As I was fully conscious I could call few of my friends in Coimbatore. I called Dr.Narendra Jena, Dr.Saisunder , Mr.BintoK Baby. I called my family as well and informed my status .Dr.Jena, Dr.Sai, Dr.Fabith and few other friends rushed to the hospital and reached in the Ganga hospital shortly. By that time doctors completed my Xray screening which showed ankle dislocation and fracture medial Malleolus plus fibular fracture. Then the expert decision was to take for closed reduction and open fixation later . Then we decided to go ahead with the closed reduction from Ganga and open surgery from Aster MIMS. By 6 pm they took me to the theater and Dr.Bala Venkat a great anesthesiologist gave popliteal block and a short of opioid. That was the most beautiful moment in this scenario. My pain relieved entirely. Pain scale dropped from 6 to zero.  It was a wonderful nerve block, and ortho doctors reduced my fracture. Then everything fine.We took an ambulance and moved to Calicut . Mr Binto and Salman my EMS captains accompanied. Dr.Srinath, Dr.Fabith , Dr.Jena, Dr.Sai , colleageuesDr.Prakash andcolleagues were in the hospital to support me. We reached Calicut safely by 2 am and admitted under orthopaedic surgery.

Aster Mims is my own family. They fixed surgery tomorrow 29th Sunday. So far everything moved without many issues.

Some touching lessens: when somebody involved in an accident, you will be fortunate if you are fully conscious, someone to take you safely to hospital, friends, and family to console  and help you, if you get adequate and timely pain relief. God's grace I have got all these time .

Another intersting observation

Mooppada Home : A complete go green concept home in my home village

I have an ancestral property in Cherukara, precisely on the Cherukara-Chelamala road near the Aligarh University campus in Cherukara-Elamkulam village ( Malappuram District). Originally, my grandfather owned this property, then transferred it to my father and eventually to me. When I inherited it, it was a “Mottakunnu,” barren except for numerous rocks, without a single tree. Fifteen years ago, I promised my father that, God willing, I would build a home on it.  This land is imbued with my childhood memories, including my life there and our affection for plants and domestic animals. Now, a dream has been realized. We have just formally moved into our dream “Mooppada Home.” The construction took seven months to complete, adhering to a theme that did not disturb the natural environment.  We preserved all the soil, rocks, and plants, protecting nature as it is. The property utilizes solar energy and natural water sources. The house is built in an “Erumadam” style but includes all modern

 Civil station -Kozhikode Booth 83 at 7.30 am The queue at 9.30am without any change  Voting at Kozhikode As a responsible citizen, I endeavored to cast my vote at Kozhikode Civil Station Government UP School Booth number 83. I joined the queue at 7:45 am and remained there until 9:15 am. Unfortunately, the queue was at a standstill, and I was unaware of the situation inside the booth. Many individuals were postponing their voting to resolve the issue. Consequently, I also left the booth without casting my vote. Perhaps I will make another attempt later in the evening. It's worth noting that some people had been standing in the queue since 6:45 am, patiently waiting for their turn. "After standing in line for two hours, I finally managed to cast my vote at noon on my second attempt. The queue system in Calicut was somewhat embarrassing. They allowed 3 to 4 senior citizens, 2 women, and then 1 man, which caused a significant delay in the men's queue. The management's un

This performance was staged at the I MA Kozhikode as part of the New Year celebration in 2024. All credit for the motivation to do this performance goes to my better half and star dancer, Dr. Supriya . Sudhi Kadalundi was the choreographer, and his team supported us in the chorus. The songs from the movies Oru Maravathoor Kanavu ( Sundariye) and Kudukku ( Theyithaka ) The success of any group art performance hinges on teamwork. Some elements, like song and background selection, occurred spontaneously in this performance. The highlight was the impromptu choreography, seamlessly matching the steps to the song and setting. Mr. Sudhi Kadakundi excels in this area with his expertise and experience. We garnered significant appreciation and applause from the audience. Ultimately, such performances outside our professional realm provide immense joy and a meditative experience. Choreographer Sudhi Kadakundi and Chorus  Comment from DrShukur Guntur  , Andra Pradesh
