The system of a down!
Was diagnosed with Gastroenteritis last week. The doc said that the liver and kidneys are doing just fine. If one really has to rhyme, I would say - all in good time. Meanwhile, it's good to know that I can continue my 'habits' since there is nothing deadly wrong.
When I was in the hospital, weird thoughts would come admist all the weakness. At times, my heart started beating fast and I thought this is it. I then started planning of doing all the things I have always wanted to do, including starting a company. I sat up thinking all night of a business plan, the revenue model, the approach, the registration and the marketing collaterals. But when the reports were fine and doctors said I am healthy, I dropped the idea.
I remember sharing a though with others who came to visit me in the hospital. Around 1992, I was in Jaipur when India played South Africa in a 3 ODI cricket series. That was the first time I saw SA play cricket. I wondered that the players are all white despite the fact that they are 'South' and they are 'Africa'. But I took refuge in class 6 mathematics that two negatives make a positive.
The other day I was kidding around with a friend about a third friend's wife. We felt guilty after that but decided it's okay because we were two and hence it was not dirty to think that way. Besides, we were drunk too. Nevertheless, we pledged that we shall not discuss the wife again. And if at all we do, the number of people should be even.
I am reading English, August by Upamanyu Chatterjee these days. Found time for a book after so long. I can relate so well to the protagonist Agastya Sen. I am half-way through, and I hope that he finds a perspective at the end.
