Onam,Rabies Vaccination and the goddamn cats

                                                       


Onam was good(Even though my mind was not completely into it due to "certain reasons").But hey ....anyday at home is a good day.It rained all day & night.This is not god's own country anymore.It's rains own country !

Now lemme give you some free advice !
RULE #1 : NEVER try to save CATS ! 

Being the superhero I am,and  after  being inspired by Batman,Ra One,Salman Khan and Anna Hazare... I was trying to save couple of them kittens from drowning in the rain yesterday.And guess what happened ?One lil rat bit me .Err I mean the lil cat who was a rat bit me :) .That vampire sank his fank like microscopic teeth into my finger.Blood!!!!!!!!!  Dizziness,Fear ...THUD !

Now.. since these cats are not vaccinated and they roam around a lot, I had to take "expert" opinion and go take Rabies shots starting today.

By the book,you have to take injection on  the 0,3,7,28  days after exposure.You also have to get vaccinated immediately after the bite.I was going through articles on internet about Rabies so that I have a better understanding of  what it can do to me.Once the virus kicks in and you don't get vaccinated,it can be fatal.It affects the central nervous system ,may put you into a coma and cause death.Thats not the way I want to die.Hell no! Ok ...Maybe I can die of Rabies while free diving from a plane into an ocean full of sharks  and mermaids.... or something cool like that !

So.. I end up going to the hospital in the morning.We know some POWERFUL people there.So no waiting in the queue.In minutes,I am escorted in...and am breifed by the Chubby Nurse Auntie  wearing a mask (felt as if I was being quaratined after a zombie virus outbreak  like in the movies).

Soon after , I am injected on both my arms.The nurse obviously does not care about  my feelings.She had a hannibal lectar like calmness while plunging the needle repeatedly into me.Being the macho man that I am ...I did not even flinch ....Kids stuff eh  ! Thankfully ..this time.... unlike last time....my dad did not tell the nurse that-
" He is scared of injections".

Before leaving,I was told that I need to come and get stabbed once every 3 days for another week.Can it get any better? Also I was told not to erase it ? eh ? erase ?
I looked on my arm and found  the needle marks and slight swelling there.Now as usual, I forget to ask them what does this 'erasing' mean ? So I assume that she means I shoudn't touch or rub the injected spot.So I roll up both my sleeves and flaunt my non existent SALMAN KHAN   biceps and  walk out in slow motion.

Anyways, my research work  regarding the ordeal helped me get path breaking information .While browsing through terabytes of data on 'Yahoo Answers' for  Rabies related queries,I saw a question from an obviously bright ,young man which went like this -      "Does Masturbation cause blindness? " .

Brooks was here

This is  from the movie called 'The Shawshank Redemption'.One my all time favs.
I have heard people talk about Stephen King.."Oh that guy who writes only "horror" stories ".Right !
Brooks kinda makes you sad ,but that's how it is.It's a scary thought  becoming old and alone.

Journey

As I ride into the unending road of life,
As I look back through the window,
I see the past in front of my eyes.
I have been misunderstood,ridiculed,yelled at and
blamed.
Life is not like a movie with a crowd pleasing
ending or a romcom novel.
It can be an energy-vampire sucking out all the
positivity and leaving lots of negative energy.

I see rivers,lakes and lots of greenery on the way.
They take a bit of my pain away.
I understand that all this is part of the game.
I understand that the only thing that can hurt me
is myself as it is I who control my mind.
I realize how much I could have gained by spending
more time for myself ,for meditating ,for
understanding life rather than managing time badly
and staying up late and doing
work.

I never cared about people who hate me or want to pull me down.
I never cared about success or failure.
All that mattered to me was peace of mind and happiness for myself and
people who matter to me.
Nothing changes.
People who hate me ,who can't stand me ,who want
to get rid of me can continue throwing stones at me.
I will take all those stones and build towers out of it.
I look ahead and see a storm coming.
I am not scared. I know that this is just another battle,
I am a warrior and I am ready.

Open letter to Facebook & the Chronicles of Mahabali

Dear Facebook,

It was fun knowing you my friend.I think I need to take a break now.You are taking too much of my time.You and your bratha Youtube are responsible for me staying up till late night and making me lose sleep.This has inturn resulted in weight gains and hair greying.I can't forgive you for that ! Dude noone messes with my hair.N-o-o-n-e ! I am working only at 50% of my potential because of all the distractions caused by you.Wow imagine if I were to increase it to say...75%.How can one become more awesome >>>>> Is there are a term called awesomer ? Anyways..There is no ETA regarding my return and I will be spending more time over here because this is more fruitful and effective thing to do.

Love,

Traveller

Foot Notes:I haven't followed EPL in a long time.Saw 1 match for the first time in 2 yrs .Arsenal got ArseF***** by Man U - 8:2 .Being an Arsenal fan.. that was genocide !
After suffering a concussion due to the fall last month,I decided to stop the rock climbing thingy(too many strings...err harnesses attached).So I have taken up tennis now.Nearly died of a heart attack today.Running around for 1.5 hrs is not my thing anymore.Ageing due to fat accumilaton is a reality..sadly !

The next couple of weeks will be pretty busy as Onam is round the corner.Oh lemme guess... you don't know Onam? It is this Malayalee festival(my best guess is that it too is a harvest festival like most others).It is celebrated to mark the occasion when Kerala waits for the return of its Legendary Chief Minister err...King Mahabali who visits his subject's(or their great great great great great times great squared cubed and raised to the power (n) grandchildren).

This is a big occasion for us as he comes only once a year from the underworld.Erm don't get me wrong, he aint no thug,underworld is like the world under...There's heaven,earth and pathala (underworld).Mahabali was tricked man ! More on this in the next part..

Indoor rock climbing

I started doing indoor rock climbing ! Its so much fun !!! I have vertigo ! :D Hence it scares the hell out of me.But its fun pushing yourself and overcoming your fears ;)

I found something!

Found this clip the other day .This was sometime in 2010.Back when I was not this fat :D

I had gone to watch  .I had promised my self and my friend that I wouldn't fight as I had a ligament tear in my hand which was healing up .Reached class late as usual :) .There were news channels covering it ! And people were kicking ass that day ! I was intimidated.But this fighting thing is in your blood.I thing it's in all our dna's .I put my hand up for the last fight.I was kinda worried inside as my hand was really screwed up.I remember bowing before and after the fight.I do that automatically before all fights.Even the ones with my lil nephew :D .Karate teaches u lotsa handy stuff like that .It's all about respecting your opponent.

Bangalore Airport
Kingfisher Airlines (Flight No    -----   )    <-----------  Fill in here

It's 6:40 pm.Waiting for take off.It's a Cochin bound flight.My Malayalee kith and kin flock it.I notice an old man sitting in front of me.From the time he came in,he is yapping to his friends .It was very loud when he remarked that  "The GO AIR flight is better than this.You get a business class for this price." I am already irritated.You would have been flying in GO AIR now if you were that smart u  stupid ############  !
