Blame it on the anti-biotics!


I guess if you are destined to fall for a guy.. vampire or what-ever, whos eye color changes from Onyx to Topaz??!! (..are u kidding me?)You’re definitely struck by the devil and NO God can save you the mis-fortunes.

Purrr! W-h-a-t a w-e-e-k.. with all its great falls!!

Hogenekkal Falls to start with.. when (as my friend said..) the “anti-biotically infused” me and 2 more equally eccentric people in the “Blue city” set off for the weekend trip. Not going too much into the drive.. would just say it was threatening to see our driver take his feet off the accelerator & break to the tunes of “Oh boy! You’re mine..” and a few more equally disturbing Bollywood hits. Unbelievable but true, we managed to reach the destination.. and when those gushing water streams splashed on your face, it all felt right. But how can things be in place for too long considering our much desired “balance” of life.

Yes! My Nikon F55 had the next great fall. (I hope my parents don’t have my blog link saved anywhere..) Carefully wrapped as it was, in a bath towel to save it from any water splash in my bag while I was using the not-so-cared digital camera for the needful.. the bag fell off the rock (which I thought had quite the strong and balanced composure.. definitely more than mine at that point of time) Sorry, I refuse to describe the water it fell into.. okay, it had moss in it.. and may be 1 or 2 ghutka packets?? So what! I wudn’t have been less heartbroken if it fell into the pure waters of Ganges. Ignore the pun. thats my anti-biotics again.

I’m yet to hear from the service centre guy.. but I’m still hopefull of getting my camera back in full health, after a few surgeries. (praying aside, it happens by Saturday!)

Getting back! What was I expecting of Sunday? While trying to transfer songs from my phone to a friends, it hung and restarted a few times. Moderately crippled by technology as I am, we took it to the showroom and discovered a virus-attack. Did I forget to mention it attacked my friend’s phone too. These bloody viruses don’t even take a weekend’s break!! Or should I say they work ONLY on spoiling weekends. Harrowed by the new phone models displayed all around us, we finally decided to give our materialistic selves a try.. and as it all happens at the wrong times, I fell for Nokia C5 ..and quite a fatal attraction I must agree! The no-interest EMIs were only for the ICICI & Citibank cardholders.. but I don’t believe in “signs” do i?

Oh yes! The HDFC credit card bill is on its way..

Feeling all happy about the person who created the phrase “Alls well that ends well?” (..not “Aal Is Well”) I started the week. The infamous Monday Morning came with high fever and severe weakness. ignored the headache as my-usual-migraine. Still hoping that it was the intestinal infection and nothing else, I went for a blood test. (..and people say I’m negative about life?) Widal test confirmed Typhoid. Crap! I’ve fallen sick! The list of dos-and-donts started flowing from all over the world.. “bland food, no oil, no spice, take rest, take care, don’t leave your stomach empty, sleep often, only mineral water, lots of fruits (yuck!), tender coconut water, don’t skip medicines, avoid non-veg!” Stop! Stop! Stop!*

..and then the last and the final “Humpty Damn-ty had a great fall” (did I spell it wrong?) "all the kings horses & all the kings men, couldn’t put Humpty together again!”  Pardon my singing nursery rhymes in the middle of no-where, its those anti-biotics, and I’m a little high.. so, it’s the right time to admit (or I might regret it later) that Edward Cullen is definitely d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! With all his (read good-looks) passion & animal instincts to protect someone he loves. Yes, I’m behaving like a teenager. I’ve heard that quite sometimes since the past few more-than-hours.. but that’s the guy at the end of the day.. (or blog post..) that takes it all away!

I guess if you are destined to fall for a guy.. vampire or what-ever, whos eye color changes from Onyx to Topaz??!! (..are u kidding me?)You’re definitely struck by the devil and NO God can save you the mis-fortunes. Have I fallen into the loop again??

* PS. No offense to all those I quoted. You know I love you all, and aside I appreciate the care & concern. :)

Whatever you are on- anti biotic or not(!), u shall not be pardoned for liking that marble faced- teenager luring- baseball playing vampire- edward sissy boy cullen!

But on 2nd thoughts, guess I should should not be so harsh on you... Losing one's camera, phone, heart<3!, health etc over ONE weekend can shake the best of us.. Hey! but look at the brighter side- u are like Bella!!!!! ;-)

Enjoy and take rest, girl!

This blog post is amazing. Although I refuse to share your views on Edward Cullen (I don't think you'd like it if I did! :P), I must admit that your writing style is excellent (I should've found a better, more powerful adjective, but I'm not that eloquent!). I also like the choice of font styles - just perfect! Keep up the good work!
