Doc. I'm NOt WeLL

A day ago i was suddenly taken unwell.. it all started with a mild neck sprain and irritation over my eyes..the next morning the neck ache intensified to such a degree that i was able to manage only slight robotic movements and the irritation developed into a nightmarish headache..

I spent the whole of that day on bed expecting to be back to normal..i tried frequent hot water showers..crocin tablets and a few antibiotics..and even resorted to chocolote for stimulationg my tired body..

no sucesss...

That night i begged my mom for immediate treatement.she had assumed that i was trying one of old tactics to avoid work..
" nO " I screamed." i just cn't take it any longer".. by this time my headache was giving me scary vertigos and I pleaded her to take me to the doctor..
my mom, on hearing accounts of my illness,drove me to the local doc..

Like in clinics all over the world the first thing a patient does on arrival is to wait..I was no execption..

A few minutes (or was it hours. i have little idea how long i had waited) the young attenderlet us enter the doc's cabin..

the doc looked at me..and SMILED.in my opinion, my current state of health was supposed to evoke the emapthy of rest of beings in the universe!! and the doc's smlie unnerved me..
'DOctor i'm not well...huh..i have a severe neck ache and a devastating head ache..puff...i cant breathe well..''

' i feel dizzy and like i'm loosing balance...'

i would have listed out a few more ailments and perfected my tone of urgency had it not been for the liitle light on his headgear that shone directly over my face...
soon he ws inserting a stainless steel rod into my nostril and pulling it a bit and focussing light on it..i concluded chinese torture could have been better!

he then pressed the bones over my eyes...AAAAH...this was Massage..

i guessed his clinical examination was over when he pulled out his pen and started scribbling something..he resumed the converstion with my mom on his previous workplace ,job politics etc...(they had been collegues earlier)...while i wondered if doctors undertake special training to get their cryptic handwriting...
He had scribbled 'Alergic rhinitis\allergic brochitis\sinusitis' and some medicines underneath this diagnosis..he then turned the paper and wrote in "ALL CAPS' "EXCERCISE EVERY MORNING"
and then said...

'This is the most important medical treatment ..i must give you.'. with a wry smile on his face..

HMPH...' i grunted to myself..

and as i left i heard him say 'dont forget excercise,lady'

my neck ache has subsided and headache is almost gone. and am strictly following his prescription..but 'the most important treatment'..I WILL DO IT TOMMORROW!! hah..

my first blog!

It is only a week since my hols started and am already bored of it... Incesssant tv watching and orkutting have lost their charm already..!!

Yet this was what I had planned to do in the 2 -months of holidays that I have before me.
2 months is a great deal of time! considering the meagre 1.5-2 week 'vacation' that our college ocassionally let us have.. not much of holidaying was actually done in that time..but it was a blissful 'stay away' from the dismal building and tiresome routine..

After this so called 'Vacation' we would return to our colleges on rickety buses,get through the chaotic traffic and jump into our seats with feinged anticipation.

Survival was a key concept in college..it depends on selective listening to some,on finishing the SUDOKU in the morning paper during class, on geting every detail of the teachers face with accuracy on the Notebook...need less to say lecture time did really help us unleash our creative skills..

Then the attendance session..this is only thing that we all look forward to and signifies the sole purpose of existence in college..getting marked present for sitting through soporific lectures and meaningless rantings is no more than a highest reward for our tenacity..

After 4 years, college wasn't absolutely a bore..it was 'nice' and tats about it... ' nice' is one phenomenal adjective that fits in mysteriously everywhere ... and is ,in a way, indicative of the wirter's ambivalence about an isssue !!

Now, done with my final semester examinations reminiscences of that the college life that I have left behind and specualtions of the life ahead continue to haunt me....
