Food poisoned!

Down since 4 days. Doc says food poisoning. I asked cyanide? !!!
Does this happen only to food lovers?

I am tired of throwing out things that I eat. Gimme a break!

MMMicrosoft Hardware

So well, already cursing myself for using microsoft keyboard which is hmm so soft keyed… and cursing the logitech headset which doesn’t pick up my voice, but just the noise.

Finally everyone who speaks to me decided that I should get a better headset and here it is; at my desk the Microsoft Lifechat LX-3000. Umgh, another microsoft product!

Lifechat LX-3000

Though I’ve not been a fan of microsoft’s software, I must say they have some good hardware. LX-3000 pics real low voice and makes my life easy.

IM spam after many many years…

I used to get loads of these when I was using yahoo messenger about 5 years ago.
Later I gave up ymessenger.

Anyway, today on skype….

Skype spam bots?

Hate these a**h*les.

I’m gonna watch the next Roadies.

Roadies 6.0 was probably one show that I watched the most. Never tried to watch episodes of earlier Roadies.

So, well I got a little time to see the final episode today, and there came a deciding point where I thought I may not watch the next Roadies. This was when Kiri said he wants to drop Noumann from the final contenders list. Well, thankfully Raghu changed that.

Can’t bear to see Pluck or Palak paneer or whatever, in the finals. She’s been too yucky and lucky throughout the show. If Kiri was the most deserving Roadie then Pluck was the most undeserving one. I’d have really been happy to see Kiri, Noumann and Sufi in the final three. Poor Sufi.

Anyway, congrats Noumann and congrats Kiri (my fav roadie).

Btw, do I get to see anyone I know in Roadies 7.0?

So do you like the Sun?

Somebody ask me that next time. My answer is NO.

I accepted a very exciting job at an OpenSource company ( putting a pause to 1.5 yr consultancy ). Traveled under the hot Sun to the office that is 29kms away from home. Came back home in the cold night.
Who would have thought this would have any effect on my life!

It started as a very mild fever on 18th mar, gradually growing to cold, cough, body pains and wham by 25th, I was completely taken.
I was taken to hospital and they suspected snake bite!!! seeing my blue nails. ( No nail polish/ink, I dont know how they got blue). They tested me for malaria, CBP, typhoid. All negative. Took X-ray to check for cough accumulation in chest – neg.
They couldn’t figure out the reason that kept my body temperature at 102 C. No antibiotics, no tablets worked. I got weaker and weaker by every minute. To add to my mysery was this breathing problem and sleeplessness. Like sandman had boycotted that hospital.

I could only take half idli a day but was getting regular dose of glucose and antibiotic into my blood. That was a total of 5 glucose and 3 antibiotic bottles.
My temperature gradually came down to 100 on the 3rd day of hospitalisation.
I couldn’t bear staying awake all night and begged to be released. So, I am home now and manage to get 3-4 hours of sleep.

Not that I’ve become healthy again. My temp still dangles between 99-100. Sounds and light irritate me. I asked everyone to speak minimum and only if required. I can’t stand up for long and still keep coughing.

Writing this post from the darkened computer room, laying on my beanbag, with laptop’s brightness set to 10% !
Would you believe that I’ve become so slow that this post took me about 2 hours to write?

Anyway, my mom took lot of care for me throughout my stay in hospital and continues still. Seen her spend sleepless nights and reject food because I wasn’t eating. Love ma.

I lost touch with art and drawing after my 10th grade.
It was a passion till then; who knows what made me give it up!
I was no expert at art, but just loved to scribble on paper.

Now, it seems like it’s coming back to me in digital form.
Anyway, that’s my boring history for you. Check these out…

Dell’s annoying ad!

Dell considers Windows an upgrade over GNU/Linux?

Do you agree that Windows is an “upgrade” over GNU/Linux?
