Ok.

Blue blog tick

New header tick

Boxes for lazy people instead of comments tick (although they'll all just stay on FB I guess)

Header has a football in it tick

Yes this blog looks more like me now. Even though it is a bed-rest, high-fever me. Yay!

Blog renovation in progress. Come back soon.

My roommate today decides to cook chicken. We go shopping. Shop to shop cart to cart. We're buying vegetables, spices and whatever is necessary. (All I bought was an extension cable to solve my speakers and laptop problems and five bandaids.) It's all going fine until she decides she needs just one onion. She tells this vendor to give her one onion. Then feeling stupid she asks him if she should pay him a rupee or two. He smiles,"Do I look like a beggar?" Super embarrassed, we shuffle off and dissolve into a fit of laughter. Twenty minutes later, where we buy milk, the man gives me free milk cake after I ask him sheepishly to cut me a small piece.

We come back feeling very cheerful about our campus. Updates on chicken meal later!

I am atheist and apolitical. Almost everyone who knows me knows that.

Yesterday AA walks into my room. It is night and it is cold. Very cold. We are sitting content, umashree and third honorary roommate shubh, after a meal of fried chicken in the mess. AA asks, does anyone want to go for a talk show on NDTV tomorrow? We can ask Chidambaram questions! Shubh says no, Uma says yes. More people are required and the dreaded question comes to me. Last resort I try to pull off 'You realize I'm going to ask you who Chidambaram is now....?' AA starts explaining...finance minister blablabla...... then realises that that was just me pretending to be an idiot. Cold night nothwithstanding I am shaken up. I still refuse to go. Last time I was on a talkshow I looked like I needed a bath and I was actually glad that my parents didn't see me.

and at home there is a new garden and loved ones have returned and loved ones await

and a trip to a certain second hand sunday book bazaar is overdue and so is a trip or rather a pilgrimage with dm to gorge ourselves silly

and the antibiotics are over and appetite and energy are human now and will soon be me level

and i will learn stuff and do stuff and feel good.

Socks

Somewhere....thousands of kms away...in a four-storeyed house, on the fourth floor there is a woman. In winter she wears socks which have the big toe separate....you know the ones right? She takes out a pair... and notices that they are both left foot socks.....
Here, her daughter cheerfully goes to college wearing two right foot socks.
