Down for the Count!

I think by now it is public news that I was down with fever(Malaria) So after staying at home for 4 days (including Sat & Sun) I have finally driven myself online to escape from boredom!

It is surprising how a small bug smaller than my little fingers’ nail, can cause a big man to be out of action for days… It is no wonder that Discovery Channel as well as the Gunnies Book of World Records calls it the World’s Most Dangerous Animal! Just because, in places like Africa and Rural parts of the world, malaria has killed millions till date! And all this is caused by a Female Mosquito! I’ll bet this would be the only place where people will be happy with a low sex ratio!!

So how was it staying at home for all those days? Well as a kid, I would always look forward to that Thursday in the week, coz that was the day we got a holiday from school. I would look forward to lazing around, going down to play or go to Worli Seaface on my bike (read: cycle) just to have fun and relax! Then when I started working, I would look forward to the Saturday, as that was the day to unwind, relax and distress… Sundays was always busy with Church and Badminton etc…
But HOW much of relaxing and distressing can you do for FOUR days!! Man it was too much! Okay, the 1st day I slept quite a bit, as I needed that… the second day I caught up with music and my guitar… the third day I was tired of sleeping and my fingers were kinda hurting… I secretly wished I hadn’t given back Lorraine my book, I was already half through it… the fourth day was oooohhhhh ggggooooddddd!!! I know the doc has said to take rest and I did get weak and all from the medication, but hell I am going back to work tomorrow man.. this is just too much!! I have slept enough to NOT get sleep in the nights, I have watched enough TV to know that Nat Geo and Discovery repeat the same programs during the week, but at different timings and I am pretty sure I have done significant amounts of observation on the mating habits of pigeons!!
NO MORE PLEASE!!!

So ya.. next time you see a mosquito, be sure to kill it no matter what your religion says or PeTA or anyone else… KILL THOSE BUGgers!!
