A short trip to Delhi

I have recently come back from Delhi. Pranay Majumdar, a renowned cards maestro had accompanied me on the tour. This is Duronto express, which took me to New Delhi.
This is Pranay, in a pensive mood.

The quintessential Indian wedding feast

Guess what we do at wedding parties? We fill up ourselves to our hearts content. No dieting here in this part of the world. Yeah! We enjoy a steaming mutton rezala with our friends, we savor the uplifting taste of a kheerpuli (condensed milk sweetcake), and rub our tummies in satisfaction. Yeah, we guess we are still very neanderthal in these matters. But hey, don't complain until you get to taste one of those kheerpulis.

Images from a camp held at Basudebpur, on 29/11/2009. Mostly spiders, insects and occassionally, people too.

Amass in transverse colon

This is what we dissected out from he transeverse colon of a middle aged lady. Entire ascending and transeverse colon was removed, to find only this little pedunculated mass with no features of local involvment or lymph nodes. Did we dissect out too much?

The middle and  ileocolic arteries have to be identified; middle colic artery has to be ligated; the ascending and most of the transverse colon are to be removed

Prepare the ileum for an ileotransverse anastomosis
The dissected specimen with the blackish lump (do you note the appendix poking out at the left?)
The mass within the colon, the walls of which are ...
... cut open
It has a stalk, and the base is surrounded by normal haustrous mucosa of colon
However, the surface is unlike any mucosa
