Rainy days and silver linings

A few months back  I was quite ill. I was suffering from malnutrition of all things. Which foodie suffers from that?!!! I have since decided it was a heavenly conspiracy to stop me enjoying junk food. So, yeah, situation was such that all my muscles were cramped up because of vitamin b,c,d deficiency. I couldn't walk properly. On one of those dark days I had to go for an exam.It was quite a nice day. Perfect temperature. In Delhi that is manna from heaven. So while returning back from exam  I had to walk for 1.5km. I could have taken an auto but being a miser + short distance+ perfect weather+ need of vitamin d prompted me to walk however painfully.
 I had walked just about 200ms when it started raining cats and dogs out of nowhere. Now i was drenched and in pain. No autos in sight. So the soldier marched on.
Swatch Bharat abhiyan(clean india mission) is there for a reason. People, however, do not seem to know that. hello wet pavement+ thermacol meet my foot. I fell in slow motion, hitting my head on side wall. Bruised one side of face and other side of forehead, one knee and other elbow.
So here i was lying on the pavement and couldn't get up (remember muscle cramps). One guy passes by looking at me. I being in a haze of sort was thinking chivalry is dead when two others help me get up and offer their handkerchieves. Belief restored.
in the meantime 2 girls come up to me, curse the guy who passed me by and offer to take me back home. Just wow! who does that. My home was 30 kms away. 2 strangers offered to travel 60kms for me.In the end they got me a cab back home. That's just incredible. I am just in awe of them. They are an inspiration.

LIKES AND LOVES...

There are few things and people in life for whom one can give his/her life. in my case it is boooooks, fooooood, sleeeeeep, my parents. Not necessarily in this order. So, in my first post I want to talk about things i love ( loving your parents ... how do you describe that in words? There is nothing i would not do for them.)

Well talking about books, the first book i read was Jane Eyre when i was 11. And since then my addiction continues. And it is not an exaggeration when i call it an addiction. Reading books ... generally people consider it a good hobby but for me it has been a sickness. i gave my board exam while reading Twilight of all things. I am not reading something which is opening up my horizon, broadening my mind or anything. I am reading Mills and boons and harlequin. All one can learn from them is........umm kind of nothing. 

It is not as if i don't know that reading so much of senseless books is rotting my mind, I have tried going cold turkey. It hasn't worked. 

However, I do read one good book for every 100 non sensical ones so that is some relief I think. I am surviving as a working alcoholic for now.

Fooood...who doesn't love it? If there are those who do not, please do not tell me. I have no wish to know those aliens. I have loved food as far back as i can remember. As i think about it i think i love food more than my friends. there are some of them whom i meet just because they have awesome taste in food. Or maybe that is my growing doubt about those particular friends.Who knows? So where was I? Yeah i love eating. That was a thing of days gone by. nowadays i love to cook too. i am not much of a chef until now but who knows one day I might graduate to it. 

Now sleeeeep.... well by now you might have learnt I am a lazy persozzzzzzzzzzz
