Back in the field

I'm back to fieldwork. I drove down to [teaching hospital] today in the afternoon. The drive was really nice with the warm sun, cool breeze, men speeding in red Audis, and 80s music blaring on the radio. They played a lot of George Michael and I'm unashamed to say that I sang along to "Father figure" and "Freedom 90". Oh how it reminded me of being in my early teens. Even though I was a teenager in the 90s, a lot of the 80s music hits came to India late and I grew up listening to them.

And then they played Thomas Dolby's "She blinded me with science" and it made my day. I see myself as the kind of girl he's talking about. Oh, the height of being dorky :P

Its poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
But she blinded me with science....
And now she's making love to me
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
And hit me with technology
--Thomas Dolby

I can now hear the helicopters flying in patients to the ER. Though my body is tired, I do want to share in the excitement of the ER. Off I go.
