Saline and Cough Syrup

I fell ill. Monday was just another day and I went happily to college. I had a bit of a cough but I didnt bother too much about it. I felt really weak in the first hour itself and then my body gave me a signal that it needed some quick treatment or it would pack up. So, Arun my good mate almost dragged me to hospital in an auto. I couldnt walk so he had to practically pull me down three stories. I ended up in the emergency room at Sagar Apollo and this stupid doctor asked me whether I drink or smoke.[ Thats India for you]. The physician came over and checked me out and put a wierd wooden tongue depressor inside my mouth and asked me to make various animalistic sounds. So,one decent doctor finally decided to put me on the drip. Ah!it was the golden moment. My body almost thanked him. So,the nurse inserted a canula and the drip began to flow, [ooooohhh!!!what a heavenly feeling]. Arun was with me right along and he was a great source of strength. He took care of all the logistics.

Now comes the spicy moment of my stay in hospital. They wheel in this woman who's heart has stopped. So they begin CPR and it was such an experience watching it. It was like a movie. Being a first aider my self it was an insightful experience. The monitors were making all these wierd noises and I have to admit,I was scared for the woman. The doctor almost lost hope and informed the family that they will try for 45 minutes to revive her and after that there is no hope. They eventually detected a faint heart beat and the woman was alive. Thank god. So that adventure ended there. Arun took me home and his mom gave me rice, curd and beans and then I went home. Now I am on horlicks and eating like a pig.

A Day of Self Indulgence.

We did not have college yesterday as it was a faculty development programme. We were supposed to have band practice but it got cancelled. So there came an opportunity to pamper my self. I went to forum and bought a ticket for "Get Smart"[its a movie]. I went to one of my favourite Chinese restaurants and had steamed chicken momo,paneer Manchurian and fried rice.mmm...delicioso.I went back to forum and watched "Get Smart" with a large coke at hand.It was hilarious. The movie was so good. The movie ended and I went to Star Bazaar and got a new flash drive[it does come in handy for assignments]. Now comes the best part of the day. BLOSSOMS!!!! and yes.I did go there. I bought around 5 books and I did have a great time browsing through the store for about an hour. I was so happy to be amongst books. I do have some 14 books to read. The thought of it makes me want to bounce on my bed.[no pun intended].So after Blossoms I was walking down brigade road and I thought I saw someone familiar at a clothes store and it was Swathi. So i hung out with her and then met up with Mohan and the three of us took a rick back to college and then swathi left in her bat mobile and Mohan and I lugged his heavy bag all the way to his room in S.G.Palya.We then went for a walk and got an ice cold 7up and that did make us feel very much alive. College called out to us and we went for a walk but now,we have lost the privilege of walking around campus at night because a lousy girls hostel has opened.So that liberty is lost. We then went to this awesome restaurant near JNC and Mohan had curd rice and I had my second 7up,three tandoori rottis and some wierd chicken.The food was out of this world. Mohan and I both had fun gobbling up everything. We then started walking back and broke into a conversation about religion and god,and it was very interesting. So we said our goodbyes and i got a rick and headed home. It was a blessing of a day.I realized that self indulgence is the way to go sometimes. It makes you think and reflect. It was an awesome day.

Good morning!!

Ahh!!!It is finally the end of the week and two days break from Sheila Mathews!!YIPEE!! There is no college tommorow as it is a faculty development programme. Have to start band practice for Darpan and also put up flyers for CSA. It was an eventful week,full of exhaustion and sweat. I am planning on fixing some gears to my cycle as my legs feel as if they are about to snap.Riding uphill is really tough but its good to feel the burn. I get a tiffin for dinner now.So much of nutrition packed in it.Finally. But I do miss my chicken momo's and Maaza. Yenyways I am off to class.

SHOPPINGGGGG!!!

I went to Brigade road to buy books today.It was so much fun browsing at Blossoms, the coolest store around.The prices are brilliant. I bought Hegemony or Survival By Chomsky,Interpreter of Maladies by Jumpha Lahiri, All my Sons for college..by Arthur Miller. It was a hanging out day,with two Goans and one Keralite AKA a Malayali. We had great food and it was really a bonding day. I watched two girls get their ears peirced for the first time..and [I felt your pain,ladies.]The surface anasthesia used was pretty interesting to observe. The tears in one girls eyes who got her nose pierced was quite daunting. It was all an experience as one of the Goan girls said. Then we went to Dubai plaza and I brought two bandanas[not to wear] but to display them in my room as I am a colour freak. One was with Che guvera and the other with the Nazi sign. It does add more colour and make life a bit more stimulating. The girls were checking out lingerie..and.... I wasnt around to observe!!!!!!!

A new year

College started.. Got two awesome teachers for psychology. The other subjects have good teachers,but for sociology we have a perfectionist. She really does believe in 100% disicipline and it gives the class an atmosphere of a Japanese concentration camp. But we 2nd years still manage to stay out of trouble which is a good sign. The freshers came in today and it felt good watching them because we could reminice about our first day at college. We were almost wicked in rushing in to their class and annoying them..but its all a part of good spirits and tradition I guess. Otherwise life is quite appealing these days. On a personal note, I have lost alot of weight and become more fit. The real running around is yet to come. I have not bunked any classes yet but plan on doing so soon[ not sociology]. It is really nice to see so much enthusiasm in all my classmates as this year has a great deal to offer. Its going to be quite turbulent as well. That is all apart of the game. Its been a great GIG so far.
