The Holiday

Just returned from a short vacation to a hill station. It was freezing out there. But a real nice place. Had gone there with my family. We had a good time. Stayed there for 3days.

Had loads of fun. Did some cycling , played table tennis , carrom n what not. Enjoyed every bit of all the trekking n shopping. Cycling was a different kind of experience for me. It has been almost 15 years since i rode a cycle,bike or any two wheeler. Yeah! Have often bluffed to some peeps about my bike riding skills :P For the first five minutes I couldn't balance myself properly. But got the balance thing goin soon. I was a bit skeptical bcoz it was pretty cold , n if I had got hurt then it would have really stung hard. Fortunately for me , there were no falls :D Still the maximum time I could ride uphill was for about halfn hour. I was huffing puffing later. Almost cancelled my next day trek !!

After coming back , I feel as if I am fully recharged to get on with the daily routine.

Change in meds has been a concern to me since sometime now. Skin looking pretty bad. There is not much of a rash. But the calcinosis on the elbow is at a high. The skin surrounding the projection looks in a real bad shape. Hope it goes away soon. Also I was advised by my current doc not to apply any creams or take unnecessary meds without consulting him. He is a homeopathic doctor. Now I am not new to homeopathy. I was under homeopathy treatment since 9 years. n I have always felt that , it was the sole reason I was able to get rid of the wheel chair n start walking during the downhill phase of DM. It has helped me throughout , be it with immunity , liver trouble , stamina n what not. The only concern for me was the elevated CPK levels. Although I was at an alltime high with regards to strength,stamina the high CPK was bothering me a lot lately. So I had moved to another homeopathy doc. My rheumy has retired n I have not gone for another rheumy till now. May be I wont.

Coming back to the change of meds, I am not feeling as strong as I used to feel before. But still I have to give the doc sometime. He is supposed to be the best in homeopathy in the country. n his clinical success is simply amazing. He has cured very rare ,difficult cases. In contrast to these case mine seems to be nothing serious. So I have decided I will try out his meds for atleast 4-6months. Lets see how it goes in this front...

Ciao n Peace.

Long time no see !

It has been a long time since I have posted anything on my blog. Almost 3 months! So just thought of updating it.

A lot has happened in these 3 months for me. I am staying in an apartment now, which is closer to my family. No more apartment sharing. Not that I dont like it , but sharing apartments is bit of a thing of the past for me now.

To start of , I was really determined to work really hard this semester. My current semester was the third one. So three more to go ! We will b having industrial training for the final year (sem 5,6 that is) , sort of internship you may say.

However things have gone lil wrong for me since last couple of months academically. I was prolly disillusioned or something. Still not sure. I thought getting off work, fewer distractions would help me pick up high scores. But I guess, I have become bit lazy, complacent may be. That is the exact reason why I thought of writing it down , about what I feel. So maybe in few months time I can checkup on this writing and compare where I stand then. Hope its a much higher place ,position.

So my new year resolutions have already been setup. Preponed by 3 weeks! First thing is to ensure I am ready , confident , at my level best during the final job placements which will happen in 3-4 months time. I am sincerely hoping that I get through to a good company which will cater to my skill sets. Lets see how it goes at that end.


Although I didnot work at my level best during this semester. I still might have managed good scores. Another hiccup I had during examination was some freaky symptoms that reminded me of the time during the onset of DM. Myalgia,pain near elbow,biceps, n all. Was gettin paranoid during examtime thinking of DM.

I had changed my doc sometime before the exams. To be precise, around a month earlier. So initially I thought it could b bcoz of change of meds or something. But now I think otherwise. Hoping for the best , for my health. Hope it doesnt prove to be a deterrent during my placement activity.

My love for movies is still strong :D Been watching a lot of tv series. Started off with Prison Break(awesome) , Lost(gettin boring) , 24 , Dexter , Office( UK one !! not the US one:P) , finished watching Arrested Development all seasons. Arrested development was really good. Scrubs gettin bit predictable in season 6 i think. Dexter is good. A new series called Hero was refreshing to watch. Sad thing they dont show these tv shows here ! Renting dvds is like digging hole in my pocket. But cant helpp itt! Movies - Casino Royale was really good. Dint expect a thing , but was amazed to see this movie. All my friends freaked out when I told them this was the first Bond movie I was watching :P Thats true!!REALLY! Great acting by Daniel Craig. n good looking Eva Green aka vesper. Borat : .............big title name man. Funny movie . But I think it will not be released here , too offensive for traditional peeps out here. lol made me laugh really hard in some scenes. Other movies not worth mention or prolly missed 'em. will try to watch during next few weeks.

Vacation time started off with a trip to a very nice place. I had gone there with 4 of my friends. It has nice beaches . So we played cricket,beach volleyball n other sports. Really enjoyed out there. Had a beer !! (O no) Shouldn't have,but never mind. 1 will do no harm. Had it after almost 1 year! Pretty surprising for a 23 year old personne i think :)

Came back from the roadtrip yesterday. My legs were hurting reallll bad. Entire body was paining n groaning. Must have been the running on the beach. Had a hottt shower. Feeling lot better now! Its almost 2am , so better stop writing now. enuff for a day ! or for 3 months !!

Ciao n Peace.
