Old is Cold

I'm having rough few weeks. It all began with the premedical test that I didn't clear. Followed by the contract position offer to which I said Yes. It was followed by a bout of flu. Just when things were looking to be under control, I caught the bug again y'day. Its very difficult now to identify whether the weakness I'm experiencing is because of DM or the bug.

I'm learning a new technology on the side n planning to move to a smaller organization in the near future. But the cold/cough is making it very difficult to hold on to that 1000 pages + book. I wish I had something lighter to read now. Reading ebooks is out of the question ,since my eyes tire quickly when I'm in such a weakened state.

I've completely ignored DM n ONA for couple of months now. Don't remember the last time I got blood work done. I'm due to get a test soon, before my doc's appointment. Also the second, third opinions which I was really looking forward to might not happen quick enough bcoz of the insurance thing.

In other news , I have hardly watched any tv since last month. I catch up on movies n tv series on my comp/malls. So I missed watching India's first individual Gold medal. Also three boxers have moved into quarterfinals, so hope we get more medals there. The tennis duo was a disappointment. Hope we can finally break the jinx of winning a single medal every olympics. Sincerely hope this gold medal brings in some corporate sponsors for all the promising athletes rather than our lethargic cricket team. I'm sure they will win lot more medals next time with some much needed financial boost.

I've been feeling miserable since last month , with all the hype at office surrounding my health. I have tried my best to keep it away from others so that I can get challenging opportunities to work on. In between got my results, so finally done with my master's now! Got a pretty good score n scored a distinction grade in my final semester! Hope things turn around for the good on the health front.


Ciao n Peace.
