In the middle of the night in Altoona, Pa., if someone needs an emergency brain scan, hospital staff know whom to call to interpret the results: a radiologist in Bangalore, India , the Associated Press reports. A shortage of radiologists nationwide has led to the outsourcing of this medical procedure. Overseas experts are mostly U.S.-educated and licensed, and are often paid fees equivalent to their American counterparts.
As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!!
