A Doctor, A Mela & A Friend!!!

It was around last Thursday that I felt that something akin to cold was approaching me. I had a body ache & the throat was burning. I usually avoid visiting a doctor so early in a bimaari but then I had some certificates which needed to be attested so I thought I will kill two birds with one stone. So Thursday evening I sat across the doctor and dished out my so called mild symptoms.

His reaction was, you have fever? Is the throat paining really badly? When I answered in negative he gave a disappointed look and said...


“I feel you will have viral but as of now you have no strong symptoms & I can not give you any thing.” And with a glee he added “But come back in 3 days by then you will have all clear symptoms and then I will give you the medicines”.

lol, he was sure that I will come back in 3 days but could not help me then. Had I been on camera I would have turned around, looked at the camera and would have said “lo kar lo baat!!!”

I went to office for next 2 days and wasn't feeling any better. On Saturday it was raining really hard but my desire to eat fresh banana wafers made me walk back home instead of taking an auto rickshaw. The result was I was totally drenched. Now I had fever & severe cough. I decided to skip office on Monday & visited the doctor.

“See I had told you, you will fall ill in 3 days and now I can treat you”. He looked so proud that his prediction had come true that I couldn’t help but smile.

Doctors!!!!

I have been telling this incident to all my friends and it doesn’t fail to amuse them ;-) BTW You can read my tryst with another Doc here. It was hilarious.

So thanks to the bad bout of cough I was cooling my heels at home and was royally bored for 2 days. The laptop is still out of action so net access was ruled out. I had so many books around me but somehow couldn’t read beyond a page of any book.

Thus I was stuck with the TV & the remote. As it always happens the ‘Murphy’s Law’ was in full form. There was not a single movie which I could watch & out of compulsion I watched Miss. Congeniality again and loved Sandra Bullock in it :-) I also saw bits n pieces of Jerry Maguire starring Tom Cruise, a nice sweet movie.

But for the better part of the forced chutti I was stuck with watching “Rakhi Ka Swayamwar” (I prefer calling it ‘The Marriage Mela’). The show sucks but entertains (I can't believe I said that).

In a surprising move this sweet Kashmiri fellow discloses that he has a wife & three kids but he still wants to marry Rakhi because he genuinely loves her. WTH!!!! When asked to go the way he said “but what will happen to my dreams” he looked & sounded genuine, almost!!! However the whole incident made me think, did these people go ahead with the show & contestants without doing a reference check???

Or this was some publicity stunt!!! Because the way they were repeatedly showing the teasers it did look like one. But I must admit, Rakhi isn’t at her Nautanki-best, Hell!! she even sounds normal sometimes and looks genuinely excited & looking forward to her marriage types.

God!!!! I can't believe I said that. I guess I need to go to a rehabilitation center otherwise I would be defending her next ;-)

But yes I must say, Vee am sorry, we should have let you go there!!!! :D


That reminds me of another important thing that happened last week. I started an impromptu war with Vimmu. Most of the readers found the post hilarious but then there was a guy who felt it was a publicity gimmick (!!!!) and the comment he left wasn’t something which I liked and I was busy planning a reply which could be rude and yet sounded indifferent when somebody else gave a strong worded reply to him.


It was no one else but Vimmu who stood by me :-) he said things which I would have wanted to but am sure wouldn’t have said. The best part was he was defending me in a comment section where I had raged a war (without an iota of seriousness) against him. It was also the first time that I saw the no-nonsense side of his. I haven’t met you Vimmu but I know you are genuinely nice guy and a wonderful friend, somebody on whom I can blindly fall upon.


There, I have said it once don’t expect me to repeat it, you know how painful it was to say that. BTW this also redeems you from whatever you said for Salman Khan but yes the count was in my favor and I have won the battle but will spare you ;-) And all this doesn’t mean that I will not fight with you. Nah!!! Not so easily!!!! You know na, I don’t forgive n forget ;-)


That's it from me, please pardon me for not reading & commenting in your posts, hoping to catch up soon or else MAAR zindabad ;-)
