Food Posioning...

I had food posioning on friday.On thursday we went to the Yana, my favourite sizzler joint. I had ordered for some Lamb Sizzler. It was good, I liked gorging and I was feeling totally full.Had a good walk.I felt absolutely nothing. In the morning I saw a dream where I was feeling a strange pain in the stomach, after sometimes I woke up to find that it was not a dream but in reality it was a very bad cramp in the stomach.An unbearable pain! I couldnot go to office, called up boss and told him about my condition.I got medicine with the help of a friend of mine. Slept the whole day. It was really bad.Next day it was almost gone. Next day being Saturday it was one of my roomates' birthday party. We went to the Thousand Oaks, the restaurent and pub. All the gang was gorging on all the starters and cocktails like there was no tomorrow. And there I was sipping a glass of Orange Juice and finally eating rice with dahi-curry :-((On Sunday I wanted to watch a movie but by the time I went to the theater(at 7.30 pm :0 ) all the shows were house full.....A very very bad weekend....But I took rest too. I never slept like this before. Yesterday I had body pain because of over sleeping..

Journey

The journey that I had mentioned in the last post has taken an abrupt halt. The track has been damaged and the driver is not at all sure whether we will be able to resume our journey or not. If the journey is stopped then I will have to track back home on foot. And I know it will be a very difficult journey. These back journeys are always tough and now when the town was so close, it is going to be tougher. It is really strange. Till a few days back I was dreaming about reaching my destination and have a hot cup of tea and take rest. I was thinking so this is the journey of my life, I will not have to take another journey alone. I will just settle down in the city and see the crops growing up, experience the winding road, and so many things. And now it seems I will have to go back wherever I came from. Will I be able to make another journey? I don’t know. I am feeling so tired and fragile. Will I again be making music along the country road, I am not sure.

I have seen so many journeys, some broken down in the middle of the road, some speeding in the break neck speed, some with gentle pace enjoying the country side.

I have always tried to analyze myself. Why I need to take journey am I a journey freak that I need a journey to keep myself going? I think I have found my answer. I really don’t know if I will again resume my journey and reach the destination but I have understood why I need a journey, what makes a journey joyful. In my growing up years I took part in quite a few short journeys. And in none of them I was happy as I was happy this time. It was I who discontinued all those journeys. But this time the case is not so. And I used to think with my kind of mentality how I could be happy in my life, as many of the astrologers’ say that I will lead a very happy life. I was always a rebel, always thinking against the rules. But now I find I am a conformist. And I know I will be happy.

Monsoon...

So the monsoon is back in Pune. I am enjoying it. I am quite late in writing about it because already the first round of rains has vanished and in this first round itself there has been lots of casulaties. As I have heard from people this time the monsoon could not go to the eastern region, it was held back in the western region only. So there were a lot of rain and destruction in this side of the country. There was severe flood in Gujrat. In Maharahstra there was no flood but it rained non stop for almost one and half a week, specially in Pune. I like when it rains, I like to see the droplets of rain falling in the earth, I like to get wet and I like to stay at home and dream when it rains outside. I really miss the childhood days while it rains, I remeber getting wet quite often when it rained and for which I had to get quite a few beating from Ma. While I was in Bongaigaon, my hometown I remeber going to cycling with my friends. We cycled for almost 20-30 kms in the rain once. And we did enjoy it.For many days I have not done any significant. Nothing which I can savour later on. Yeah something very intersting,important is developing. I am experiencing it for the first time,going close to somebody's heart. Its a really a very strange journey...
