POST 35
Drive a few miles East of Vellore, towards Chennai – the burial place of Doubting Thomas – and you will find a green place, on the South side of the road, spreading out like a garden, leading to the foot of a high hill. It is the site of a new hospital. As you begin to explore, looking down at the rich ground, wherever you look is Touch Me Not, a comb-like plant, Mimosa Pudica, which I have never seen in England. Why is it called that ? Because if you touch it, it recoils instantaneously, with a ‘seismonastic’ movement; tightening its flat spread surface into a fine blade.
You can tell this is a good site for the hospital because Touch Me Not only thrives where there is a good water supply. The hospital will have to be self sufficient for water, at the outset at least, so this is a good site.
Look up now past the lines of palms, heavy with coconuts, and there is Golden Eye Hill, looking down on you, fresh and wild, its fauna and flora co-existing in comfortable balance, untouched by Man.
It is easy to imagine the hospital in the future, opening up towards the Hill. When it is built the landscape will be changed beyond recognition but the hill remains the same. The hospital and the hill will be in continual dialogue; speaking and listening to each other. The wards, consulting rooms and surgeries, OPC, ICU, Emergency, Cardiology, Neurology, Gastrology, Renal, Admin, Labs and Prosthetics, waiting areas, store rooms and laundries – the hurly burly of their grueling daily lives – will all look towards the hill, stable and still, calm custodian of peace, and signal of health.
At the centre of the hospital sits the Chapel. The chapel is central to the hospital just as the healing works of Jesus are central to their work. The Chapel looks out across water, towards Golden Eye Hill. Between the Chapel and the Hill is a garden, a plateau of green pastures and a path leading upwards.
It is just before dawn and I wake. I will walk to the top to see the Sunrise, to clear my head and gain a perspective. I imagine a mother worrying about her sick child in one of the wards, eyes filled with tears; she is walking that way too; walking out from the hospital to the hill, across the Plateau. She sees someone in the garden and thinks it is one of the gardeners at work; ‘Noli Me Tangere’, Touch Me Not.
I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally
educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.

Hey there, You’ve done a great job. I will definitely digg it and personally suggest
to my friends. I am confident they’ll be benefited from this site.
Never post on social networks or other websites that you will be
away on holiday, as this means people will know the house may be
unoccupied. The technology used by Zig – Bee is very different from the traditional home security systems.
Many people consider a home security system to be a deterrent
for intruders only. Put a TV on and a radio to
give your home a lived in look. For example, say that option A has an excellent price (special deal).
And a bright light that goes on at the front door can deter a burglar from trying to get in.

Although Spectra is not one of the most popular characters there are still some nice examples of
dolls based on her.
Before we saw a picture of Viperine we were hoping
she would have snakes for hair much like Deuce but alas she does not.
