Brief Summary   This study is a randomised, double blind, parallel group, single centre trial comparing the duration of post operative analgesia in 2 group, Group A Transverse abdominis plane block and Group B in Quadratus lumborum block under Ultrasound sound guided in 18 yr to 60yr old male patients undergoing Inguinal hernia repair surgery under spinal anaesthesia. Study will be conducted with primary outcome of determining time of 1st dose of rescue analgesia and secondary outcome is assessing NRS score at rest and on cough, objective pain assessment, total doses of additional analgesia received in 24hrs, level of sedation, time of ambulation, level of patient satisfaction
