in sickness and in health...

As I sit munching jackfruit chips(authentic kerala ones) I almost feel normal… the past week has taken its toll on me… even without the dramatics, I’ve been fasting for the past 5 days… and that I believe is as close to Gandhi I’ll ever get… the old gandhi, the stubborn old man who blackmailed by ‘fasting unto death’ at the drop of a hat… jeez! Less than a month after I’ve begun turning blue, I’m turning sarkaari…! I’m not sure what the hue is… or maybe white is…

I’m late for my third drink of the day… the long meeting has sapped most of my bare victuals I had for breakfast… the oily chips are a welcome distraction… from the regimen of curd rice, lemon juice, glucon-D(lemon flavored) and ORS… the last bit is an invention of the eighteenth century France… it was used to finish off anybody left undead by the sharp jaws of the guillotine…

This must be my most sordid blog… I can’t think of one happy thing right now… I know it’s close by, but it’s as though I’m just too tired to reach for it…

Juice break… NOW…
