So just about a few minutes after my last entry here... i started shivering... and then i knew for sure.. fever was on its way.. maybe a few minutes away.. i had kinda seen it coming.. about 3-4 days earlier i had chilled pepsi with ice.. my throat had kinda started getting weird from right then... neway what follwed after shivering was one of my most uncomfortable nights ever ! Couldn't sleep properly at all ! And then suprisingly.. last night was one of my most comfortable ever ! The doc said i should be fine by tomm... its just a viral attack.. but i feel almost back to normal today itself... this is like my annual fever drill.. Thankfully i hardly ever fall sick except for token times like these.. once or twice a year for a day or two !!

Total Waste !!

Total waste of a day !! Didn't do one damn thing of any consequence !! Got up around 12:45 pm !! Whole day jus the net and tv... saw jingle all the way today... complete... had seen some of it before... and thats about it.. think i'll go rent some cd's tomm... thinking of getting that movie.. Master and Commander... also planning to wake up a bit early tomm.. like not going back to sleep after dropping me brother on his stop in da morning... well.. can try atleast...

i know i won't be dropping off anytime soon... last night sleep came to me only after 3 am ! But i kinda like this time to myself... i do all my reading at this time... search the net for whatever i feel like reading about... it's real fun.. i guess that would be very geeky for a lotta ppl but this is what i like to do before i go to sleep... solve whatever confusions i might have about things.. usually its history... i love the second world war... conflicts in perticular interest me very much... thats besides space exploration and paranormal and extra-terrestial stuff and all... those are all me hobbies ! Last night i looked up the reasons behind the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan... and i came across an interesting analysis by this person on some site... he compared the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan to the present American occupation of Iraq... and taking into consideration the advancement in technology over the years.. the terrain of the two countries and the type of people living in the different regions... he found out that the Soviets actually did a bit better than the Americans are doing now during occupation.. especially in terms of casualties !! He found this very interesting.. because generally in the west people always said that the Soviet military (during the Afghan occupation) was more like a paper tiger and could never have stood up to the western forces !!

Ah well... but this occupation business is going to trouble the American people for a looong time... They are going to haveta stay there till normality returns... and that could take a while... till then the casualties are only going to mount...

Turning 21

The day before yesterday was one of my best birthdays ever !! Well the run up to it seemed rather disasterous... but as soon as it turned 12:00 and the calander changed upto the 9th of April 2005.. the bell rang and in sailed all me relatives from me mothers side... Nana, Nanna, Mamu's, Mumani's and all my tiny tot cousins !! From that moment on.. it was superb !! Cut the cake ... got a shirt as gift ... it was very special.. then the next day.. Chinese lunch with all me friends... and after that we went to India Gate !!!!! Bought an air ball and a frisbe !! It was so much fun.. like we were little kids again.. played for long there.. came back late in the evening.. and then late at night.. Italian dinner with Mum and Muffs.. missed Dad though... now i'm jus waiting for me parents anniversary to come around.... all four of us will celebrate it together after a very very long time...

But besides all that.. gee.. i'm getting old now !! 21 !! For God's sake's !! I guess i was jus not prepared to count beyond 20 !! Hmmm.. so much left to do... i feel i should've done a lot more by this time... though i'm pretty satisfied by my life till now... just a bit unsettled all of a sudden !! Guess i'm still too much of a kid deep inside !!
