Hello Harshad, i had my ACL Reconstruction and Meniscus Repair Surgery about 3 weeks a ago. I found your article while browsing for ACL and Meniscus surgery (in India).
your article is almost the same as my story, it is just that i had my surgery within 3 months of my accident.
its been 3 weeks now but still there is a lot of pain in my knee and the operated area is also too sensitive.

i will be consulting my doctor after 4 weeks of surgery and i hope i get rid of the knee brace and doc. allows me to start walking.

Thanks a lot for sharing your story, it really helped in understanding the situations Pre & Post surgery. i m quite prepared (mentally) now.

Thanks a lot....

I think any major change in men's / women's physical appearance is a bit hard to accept initially. Later on one willingly or unwillingly accepts it.

George, I can't agree with you more. Every time I go at Frankfurt airport I encounter with rude and racist staff. Like every single time!! They treat non German people like s**** and they always have this bad attitude. They don't know a thing about customer service and manners. It's ridiculous. I'd rather not travel at all than stop at this filthy place called Frankfurt airport. They're all descendants of Nazis, so what can we expect from them? Only racism and bad manners. Shame on them!!!

Although I agree with most of your views, at the end of the day, these are private institutions and are bound to have rules heavily tilted in favour of members.

I have found government funded and owned sports facilities to be much more welcoming towards sports enthusiasts compared to such pompous socialite gathering places.

Hi Harshad, A few months ago, Shakuntalabai (PMC sweeper on BMCC Road) asked me if I could get her 12 yr old grandson to play cricket somewhere - he had tried playing on BMCC ground on a couple of the Sunday morning sessions, but though it looks like a free for all there, entry is tightly controlled! The kid's dream was to play cricket and had been chewing the family on this for long, so the offer to play football for free with Suvrat was rejected politely:) So I asked Niranjan who coaches cricket at PYC for details of fees etc. ( I thought I would fund the kid for a year and then take it from there) but he told me they already have a scheme running for poor kids - no income cert needed at all, kit is also provided so all the kid has to do is turn up to play- I gave that info to Shakuntala bai but she wanted me to come with her, obviously the club has its not-so-welcoming atmosphere! We went there, got Anand introduced to Niranjan, he joined up and has been playing since happily. Apparently there are more than 20 kids on the cricket scheme. Been meaning to tell you this for a while and keep forgetting, so thought I would post it here, Cheers, Sumita

Superb article. I also had these mental issues related to hair-loss. I starting losing hair at the age of 20! To put it simply, it was horrible. My self-esteem reached an all time low at that point. I tried the buzz cut a couple of times but it just didn't suit me. Never tried any anti hair-loss treatment. But soon I moved on after accepting the fact that this hair-loss is hereditary.

P.S. I was a student of yours at SICSR(semester ending April 2015)

Totally agree with Harshad. Shift in attitude is important as it seems.
Those who argue about private and public, should remember, there is a bigger issue here that, if so called elite/private clubs are enjoying all the benefits of being registered as a Trust, then what wrong in it being more transparent, human-friendly to the society they belong to?
Baise based on socio-economical status of an individual is gross violation of humanity. Clearly, if No Humanity then no place for such elements in society! As they are as good as terrorists and any other elements those who don't believe in humanity.

Rude and arrogant are two words that sit easily with Airport Security at Frankfurt Airport. Having had my bag searched and laptop swabbed I politely asked the security officer why I had been singled out to be searched, I was told "this is not a discussion. Now go away" the somewhat harsh words were accompanied with a look which I guess was supposed to intimidate. I did make a formal complaint but doubt I will ever get an answer.

You are comparing etiquette at a private club with basic civil rights to public facilities like trains and buses. Totally misleading and indeed a 'sour grapes' post.

If you want to understand how these filthy people called “Germans” are, you have to go for just a short
visit to Germany. I have lived in many places in north america, Europe and other places and in all my life I have never seen such disgusting filthy people like germans. They are the most racist people in the whole history of mankind people that I have no idea why no one has written a book or a novel to expose
their filthy mentality.

When visited Germany for the first time, I have encountered racism in every step of my trip. On my
flight to Germany on Lufthansa airlines the flight attendants are intentionally acting rudely toward everyone except of course passengers who seems to be white. I have observed their attitude and I notice how they treat people differently. I saw them smiling and thanking the passenger next to me but

throwing the tray on my table without even making eye contact. When the plane
landed and the flight attendants stood at the door to thank passengers in their
way out, as most airlines do, once I approached they turn their head the other
way, I have seen this every time I flow with Lufthansa and it just can’t be a
coincidence, and I have used Lufthansa for over 5 years. What a filthy trash
those flight attendants are!!!!! And
don’t give me the outdated accusation that I am blaming everything on race, it
can’t be too obvious and no one will not see it except if he is brain dead.

In every German airport,
there are often security guards at the gate to check documents of arriving
passengers from certain destinations!!! Those guards are the most racist filthy
bastards and bitches you will ever see in your life. There were dirty ugly
deformed people. They bark like dogs. Not surprising, because they were raised
like animals so they act like animals. Their job is to stop people and check
their documents. Of course, the only people were stopped were non-white. They
asked the stupidest questions I have ever heard and they never ever say “excuse
me” or “thank you” because they believe that you don’t deserve to be thanked.
What a heinous creatures!! Every single time I been into Frankfort airport I
have seen this and every time I had to stop and observe them from distant and I
always see them with this disgusting attitudes. They have absolutely no shame
at all discriminating against others in front of public. Filthy disgusting
racist bastards!! Who you Germans think yourselves are?? do you think you are
better than others?? you are in fact less than all nations of the world.
Remember the history when Russia invaded Germany in WW2, all women from 8 to 80
were raped, two millions were born as a result, this means that you Germans are
nothing more than the decedents of the Russian rapists. You are a bunch of
subhumans. If you know this then why you think you are better than others while
in fact your are lower than all other nations.

When I went to catch my
connected flight there were three security checks and of course the only people
who were checked, asked questions, not thanked are non-white. The employees
have absolutely no shame at all doing this!!! It is so disturbing that an
educated person have to deal with these filthy rude creatures. Apparently these
creatures called “Germans” think that being a non-white is automatically
classifies you as poor. Really!!? I have never seen a german who is rich but I
have see a lot of Asians and people from other nations who are insanely rich
and highly educated. In fact the average income in places such as Japan is much
higher than any European country and teenagers in oil-rich countries, for
example, drives Ferraris that no German will ever dream of.

I once had a flight from Germany to Toronto, Canada. The Lufthansa representative was acting extremely
rude. When I arrived to Toronto I sent a formal complain to Lufthansa’s headquarter in Germany and demanded an apology. Guess what happen?? the headquarter sent the complain to their office in Toronto and let the nice Canadian apologize!!! because Germans are too good to apologize for someone
whose name appears to be a non-white!!! what a disgusting people!! no wonder this airlines is the cheapest, low-class trash airlines.

Racism seems to be a normal daily behaviour in Germany. I have never seen anyone smiling even the
waitresses at restaurants are incredibly rude and they expect you to tip them!!! hah..

The german cops in the cities are acting just like the airport security. There are the most rude
filthy sons of the bitches I have ever seen. The offspring of Russians rapists.
Bunch of bastards and bitches. They racially profile people and stop them for
documents. In one incident that was all over the news, a guy sued the German
police for checking his documents and discriminating against him. Guess what
happened?? the judge concluded that it is “legal” to racially profile people if
the cop wants to check for immigration documents because most Germans are white
so being a non-white is most likely to be non German!!! Oh my God!!, even their
judges who are suppose to be the wisest people in the country are racist
bastards. How despicable this nation is!!!!

The ugliness of Germans (men and women) is outstanding. They are deformed people by nature and dress in a very ugly way. It seems that the occupation and humiliation they got in WW2
have created a generation that despises itself from the inside but in order to
hide this feeling they intensionally act like if they are better than others.

I used to learn German in college but once I
have seen their animal-like attitudes I immediately stopped and discarded all
materials. I hate everything related to their culture and in the past three
years I have never bought any german product and I will never do. Everyone
should despises Germans and their culture and boycott their products. Let’s
teach these creatures a lesson and show them who they really are. They are the
lowest, filthiest despicable nation in our universe!!

Thank you very much . Do you remember how much of your meniscus they removed and was it in the medial or lateral part ? Was it by any chance on the medial posterior horn as this is the weight bearing part of your knee . How old are you ? Is life back to normal for you ? any pain discomfort anything different to before the op ?
