The Wild and Back

GopalSwamy Betta View

You breathe every second of your life,
But the seconds that really count are the ones that take your breadth away…

That line makes so much more sense after a weekend like the last one….

Last weekend Team Applibase set out to spend a couple of days in Bandipur. Firstly special thanks to Anant… he got the booking done for us at Bandipur and without that we would have had a lot of probs wrt lodging(considering the Tiger Census and all).

The plan was simple… Go to Bandipur, enjoy Trekking and the Safari, Trek a mountain or two on the way back and be at Bangalore early monday morn. The execution was very different…

Visit to the Doc and A Small Accident

I had just been to the doc and first things first… according to my blood report im in “Perfect health condition” (Quoted by the doc himself). He was surprized coz I hv been sick for like a week now. He even went to the extent of asking me if I was “Love Sick” (Yeah! Me Love sick… right). So he gives me something for my throat and tells me to gain some weight (like I dont have enuf motivation already :P )

So im on my way back and im in this street which is really narrow. A girl was driving right in front of me blocking my view and there was this dude walking two of his dogs. I turn to realize the dogs are a Lab and a Golder Retriver as usual im all interested in the dogs that the next second I see this scooter right in front of me. I take evasive action but it wasn’t good enough.. he clipped my leg and hand. I immediately knew I was bleeding in my toe and stopped the bike a few feet away. The man steps out all like “Cant you see where you’re going”

Im Sick… (day 2)

The headache has reduced considerably but I seriously wish it was gone. I woke up at 10 am and after yesterday I was happy to feel much better. I decided to skip office as I clearly needed to take the rest and let this fever roll over. I must have slept atleast 10 hours today … Read more

Im Sick…

My body feels like a pincushion and my head seems atleast twice its weight. I hate being sick for a simple reason… I dont get to do much.

I hate the smell of sweat and if ur sick and sleeping all day turst me u will smell it. I hate that my body feels weak… actually im in pretty good physical shape(health wise atleast) that helped a lot thru the day.

In the morning I felt a slight tickel in my throat. I hv had an history of throat infections and felt this one was another attack and it was. By the time I reached office my throat was paining and the Strepsils seemed to have not helped at all. In another hour my head was splitting and I realized it was getting really bad.

Frankly if I had left for home even 15 min late Im not sure if I would have made it.
