Buy Me A Barbie

I was once the immunotherapy superhero of this blog. Decoding that would mean that I had had over 60 injections poked in me over a period of six months.

But not just for that procedure, all my life I never feared needles one bit. Alas, not any more. I acted like a sissy for a stupid blood test. What a shame!

Timeline

Day before, I felt like life was finally moving.

Yesterday, I was dead in a daze.

Today, I am in denial.

Tomorrow... let's bet some money! :D

I must add that even though I do not feel better yet, the doctor says that my knee is better than what it was a month ago. Apparently, some effusion that was there earlier isn't there now. :-)

Dance classes and Himalayas, I am coming!

Karma

You might be stupid, but I see the big picture now. So I guess it's ok.

The painful knee

So I am officially fucked out of my mind with doctors whose opinions about one thing vary like that of politicians. I folded my leg after one light year yesterday and it hurt like a bitch. But what am I to do about it anyway! 21st century is to be blamed! Nobody did me any favours for being a brahmin, but I do get life gyaan in sanskrit for being a brahmin! I could growl and bite right now!

I think a good option would be to take a poll here on the blog itself. If you think the knee needs surgery, say so. And if you think it is nothing but a fuckin' figment of my imagination which needs a workout in the gym, let me hear you out too.

And in case you work at Google, tell the damn people that Chrome does not let me publish my posts in small fonts!

Grrrrr!

Lifestyle Woes

The green wallpaper of my phone stares back,

my purple pyjamas do too.

Blue Gmail inbox stares back,

and the white ceilings do so too.

The peace factor is only the colours.

25

I turned 24 today. It was the quietest birthday so far. It was slower than the 21st, which then seemed like the slowest it could get. I kept the tradition of crying in the 48-hour window before the birthday gets over. But it was birthday at home after three years, so I am not complaining.

This post, for a change, is not about what I did on my birthday. It is about the 25 things I want to do in the next one year. Let's begin!

1. Of course, get that job!

2. Get the knee fixed

3. Visit the Taj Mahal

4. Make one long trip to the Himalayas

5. Make another long trip to Rajasthan in the winters

6. Buy a car

7. Help Mom redo the house

8. Pick up a new hobby

9. Learn a new language, Spanish maybe

10. Catch one of Ustad Zakir Hussain's concerts

11. Find an occasion to wear that black dress

12. Burn up the past for good

13. Clear my debt

14. Actively participate in at least one initiative of Blank Noise's

15. Invest in silk, silver, and a lot of white! :D

16. Try quitting consumption of bread

17. Try about three different hairdos

18. Make the line clearer

19. Get a hot new frame for my spectacles too

20. Barring that dress, get rid of all black coloured things in my life

21. Cut down on unnecessary loyalties

22. Spend less time online

23. Start reading again

24. Take dance classes

25. Let it be.

This isn't very me. I do not generally like talking about the future like this. But I thought if there's so much that has been different this time, why not an uncharacteristic post! :-)
