me, myself and my first blog

This wasnt a good weekend! But then its quite funny that I eagerly wait for the weekend and then once it gets started I wait for Monday again ...but start cursing the moment I wake up on Monday! Its a cycle that keeps happening. Invariably.

Anyways, Sat'day wasnt fun. Been to the doctors...and doctors perpetually seem to think that your time is really not that important. Waited quite a while and he gave a dose of antibiotics. I do not take pills regularly except for say vitamin, iron and the likes. These antibiotics were like strong and I think I did have certain reactions like headache, drowsiness. To make matters worse my mother too had a bout of high fever. Its the heat they said. Since she was much more ill than I, I was now left to play nurse to myself as well as my mom.

Generally when I'm ill, there is this invisible "do not disturb" sign on my room door . They leave me alone like I ask them to. Then I sleep like a log. The rest or medicines do their bit, by the time I'm awake its like 50% better. This time the privilege was denied. I follow some dietary instructions, for the summer its mostly coconut water, curd rice, butter milk, lots of water and stuff.

Watching a movie is also encouraged. So I pulled out a VCD, I hadnt seen earlier, and started playing. Few minutes into playing it I knew was a very wrong choice. Actually I was to choose between the novelty factor and the feel good factor. And I thought only the prior could keep me awake through it all. Well then here I was munching curd rice watching "Schindlers List" all by myself. Thought there were only 2 Cds but then there were 3!! Gosh! I generally like watching the whole movie(at a stretch) and nothing but the movie so help me God!! Breaks longer than 5 mins would kill all possible interest that had been very difficult to generate and sustain.

Well this movie was kinda like a documentary. Biography of a man(Oscar Schindler) who inspite of his own shortcomings, risked everything to save his Jewish factory workers whom he called his children. And miraculously managed to save 1100 odd Jews. A very small number when compared to the millions who were brutally murdered. The Jews present him a coin towards the end in gratitude thats has the following line inscribed on it "If you save one life, you have saved the entire world." Just watching the victims face death every moment they were alive..was quite horrifying to say the very least!!

Well with all the clouds around y'day there was one teeny-meeny silver lining. If ever there was thing like Gizmo-friendliness rating I would have scored a decently average 5. On a scale of 1 to 10. But then I managed to render my mp3 player useless a few days back and I actually had begun to believe that I was hopeless with them. Twas a cute and handy gift from my brother which also keeps me company during my endless walks. It always displayed a "No music" error every time I loaded mp3s and tried to play. I had no clue as to what to do. There were no online or offline manuals and stuff. For the first time even google couldnt help. Did a lil exploring of all the options available with the device. Well then one of the classic IT solutions came to the rescue. Format drive. Executed it. Loaded new mp3s and Voila! Music to my ears!
