Feeling Sick...

I’m feeling sick for the past few days ….I guess that’s because I was struck by the wrath of the Sun God.
I was drying my long, silky hair the natural way…. under the sun (very good for healthy hair), after a long time now (I used to postpone the half-hour, backbreaking ritual for the evenings).

I felt as if I was struck by a lightning ….I was feeling very cold, even in the 1 o’clock afternoon sun.
I don’t know about the others… but there are a few symptoms that I have observed before I usually go down with fever…
My body aches as if I’m suffering Atlas’s pain …

Every joint in my body creaks like the rusted hinges of an old, haunted house…

Burning eyes….

Once I even sensed hot air blowing out of my ears, making me feel like a steam engine (toot-toot!)…

Feeling tired even after a good sleep…

When I was a child, I used to catch cold so often that by now I must be immune to almost every possible form of the common cold virus(touch wood!).

Now, before you start pitying me for my not-so-good health record, let me reveal a fact.
Fever is not a sign of ill health…in fact; it shows how strong your body’s immune system is against the disease causing microorganisms. There is literally a “Clash of the Titans” (of the microbial world, of course) going on inside the body. This is the reason why the temperature gets hotter as the war gets more and more intense.

That means …I’ll just have to wait till my WBCA (White Blood Cells Army) return victorious.

Hey! I think I hear the Trumpets of Triumph…am gonna join the party!!!

what a blog!! scintillating...i had always been pushed to the limits of boredom whenever i had tried taking a sneaky peek into the blogs of my pals...of all the stuff, the one which infuriates me is the usage of instant-messaging slangs even in blogs.. But when i read these blogs of ur's deepa, i was escalated into a virtual world where thoughts held the reins tied to words..!! and you've proved that you are a cut above the rest!! bravo senorita!!
