The Week gone by....
I was deliberating to put down something in my blog for a long time, so badly that i started blogging in my dreams..i know it might sound a bit made up..but i swear i blogged in my sleep once while at home..N then finally it happened that i pushed myself to blog today lest postpone it forever..
I was sturck with a "mysterious fever", thats wot i kept calling it untill the blood tests gave it the name of typhoid..I had actually survived with it for 5 long days w/o knowing i had one..or shud i call it nights..As the only time i used to hit the bed were in the evenings and nights were horrible to say the least..I cud sense someone nailing me in the occipital region of my head all night..If only i cud lay hands on that fellaw..grr..
Actually,the illness was not so severe until friday..the day i was supposed to travel to chennai to meet couple of my friends..I was quite determined to travel till 7 in the nite, when this this stupid disease showed its real face...The temperature shot up to a new high and the ever awake hammer boy started his work..So finally had to cancel the trip to chennai n preeethi refused to believe tat i was down with typhoid..She thought it was one of my usual pranks :) Anyways, I shud wait for someother time now to go to chennai...prob sometime in nov or so..
My hammer boy got into so much of vigoruous work that my head started spinning big time starting sunday n i cudnt tolerate anymore..I havet had migraine before, but i dono if there was a worser headache than wot i was undergoing then..I booked my flight tickets home n left to madurai on monday.. i swear i came to know only on tat very day that there were flights plying to my hometown from bang..WOW!! Madurai is improving..!! And wot a pitiful journey tat was...I was offered fud twice in that 1.5 hr journey but i was warned not to even touch them by my mom..I was asked to take a bottle of "kanchi" or "mashed rice water" (WOW!! i shud find a part time translator job somewhere)but was not allowed to carry them by airport security..Hell!! wot do they think tat was...a chemical bomb ??? ..LEave alone me, the parents were not allowed to carry bottled water n milk for their kids..Long live those british chemical bombers. So i was reclined to jus sit n stare at the gulping n hogging mouths nearby..
Poor Salmonella Typhil couldnt stand the antibiotics for more than 3 days..The funniest part of the whole illness was tat one sweats on the last day like a water sprout..My mom switched on the fan...kept it in full..n then switched on the A/c...n there i was still sprouting sweat in buckets..
U wont believe me .i changed clothes some 5 times on the last day in the span of 1/2 n hr..The doc said that it was a indication of the last stages of the illnesss...yupppppieee!!! i wudnt have minded changing more clothes if he had spelled that before..:)
So there i was bac to normal health by thursday..And wot a relief tat was ...to have normal diet n not those masked rice n soups...uffff!!! but one gud thing about typhoid was tat i drank litres n litres of juices :) i drank to such an extent that my bro started cursing n praying to fall ill..
And then it was my bday on sunday,,24th of september..My bdays hav always been sombre..none of my bday have been so special to be remembered..Blame it on me for that..As i keep to myself on that day,probably turn into a narcissist for that day n have the whole day for myself..I like it that way..This time arnd, my mom felt a bit bad that she didnt remember my bday n so she planned for a movie for the nite show..So there i was celeberating my 24th bday in the theatre..Got 3 expected calls that night...n there was my mom wishing me in heart n soul after 6 long years in person..
I was woken up by a dhadhi in the morning n then there were a few calls tat follwed...And then i did wot i usually lov to do during my bdays..I took the car,shut the windows,played newyor nagaram n went for a ride...Returned bac after 2-3 hrs..I think my mom has become used to my idiosyncracies with the vehicles n songs, that she hardly asked me anythng..So there ended my bday...not a very different one..but quite relishable nevertheless...
