Anyhoo, when December went by smoothly I thought I had skipped the dreadful colds and coughs I get once every 3-4 months. I thought too soon I suppose, because I've been under the weather since yesterday evening. It started with a sore throat and cough, and a slightly feverish feeling. I woke up this morning feeling mildly better, as in there was no fever. But my throat progressively got worse through the day and now it feels like a couple of cats mating on a roof-top lined with sandpaper!
It must have had something to do with the fact that I spent almost an hour in a hospital this afternoon. No, I wasn't there for any treatment or to visit anyone. I had gone to get a doctor to attest a medical certificate stating that I don't suffer from epilepsy, tuberculosis and some other diseases that I now don't remember the names of. I'm sure I walked out with at least 300 million more germs.
To make matters worse, I spent 3 hours in a movie hall getting chilled to the bone with the aircon on full blast. So now the tissue box is at hand, the sneezes are as frequent as Heidi Klum's contractions, my head feels like a block of ice that refuses to melt and I can slowly feel my ears getting blocked. Looks like it's going to be a very interesting week!
I finally watched 3 Idiots and am now heading straight to get this tattooed on my forehead - One Idiot! After that, my friend and I are going to Vidhu Vinod Chopra's house to pee on his mailbox. His movie inspired us, after all.
And from next Monday onwards, I'm going back to school! Hope I don't get bullied. Maybe if I practise this look on my face, I will be fine.

That feeling you have broken glass in your throat is horrid. I hope you are better soon. Sweet serious little girl.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra's mailbox huh? AGG with all her experience doing it in weird places might be able to manage it, but I'm not so sure about you!
whiskey and warm water helped me tide though a bad throat on 31st night
And metlted chocolate and rum shots helped the missus on Christmas
lars von trier says that a film should be like a pebble in your shoe...so perhaps there's still hope for your post, my dear!
hope your cold gets better soon. am about mid way through one myself and sounding like a husky phone sex worker these days. yay :)
do let me know how the su-su session goes at vidu's...and would you coach me on how you aim high at the letterbox...?!
@Pat - You're like my daily dose of sunshine :-)
@Swb - I'll send you pix to prove it.
@Knife - What I really need is some chicken soup, fed to me lovingly by Jude Law.
@Mentalie - Wow! Looks on like I'm on to something with that pebble. Maybe I won't post it on the blog. Maybe I'll save it for the book. Maybe I should finish it first!
Phone sex worker! I think I sound like that too but no one is calling me to find out :-(
And I thought you would lead us to VVC's house and direct us while we aimed at the mailbox. You can't trust a couple of dyslexics to get it right, can you? We might go pee on Vindu Dara Singh's mailbox, which is actually not a bad idea!
Get well soon CC :) ( try honey+ginger)
Is that you in the picture? :P
Rini.
@Rini - Yes, am doing the ginger-honey thing. Thanks!
That was me on one of my birthdays - maybe 7th or 8th. I remember being extremely sick that day. Had a terrible ear infection and was howling in pain during my party in the evening.
number ghoomata hoon
yo CC. i think we'll have to hold on to our pee for a while. laid up with the worst possible viral. can't remember the last time i didn't step off the bed for this long.
once i'm good we will spray paint his letterbox for sure. and all the best baker girl. will call ya before school starts for sure.
Aiye yai yai, are you feeling better now? Sore throat is one of the worst feelings in the world. I take cold tablets to relieve the pain.
I once watched a part of 3 Idiots. I fell asleep.
