Happy Onam

This Onam is turning out to be quite a happy one for me. Ok - extremely eventful, at least, if not entirely happy.

Actually, the exciting events were so excited themselves that they couldn't wait till today. Started off at around 11.30 last night with me and Jiggu's exciting bike-accident near GC (damn the fu*kin invisible bumper on a road filled with sand!). We reached the Park in a rather bloody state (was half-expecting a "there comes our bloody guests" from the receptionist). Nothing much happened though. We received some basic first-aid and went on to our host's place, and had our gala feast accompanied by lotsa different variations of pure apple juice, as promised. Limit you rock! (And your company rocks too.)

So much was the air filled with joy and ecstasy, that it took me a full 6 hours more to realize the searing pain in my right arm. Had to do something about it. Went to Hospi after breakfast. As usual, they started the proceedings with an injection and then an inquiry as to what the actual problem was. And then, the usual set of antibiotics. Seriously. The doctors there have really figured out the unified theory of medication. It's a pity they chose not to go into Physics. The Theory of Everything would have definitely gained a lot from them.

Came back, got bored for a while, then Lim again called up for lunch and I couldn't help but oblige. Was dressing up for the outing when I realized that the jeans I was wearing yesterday (and was going to wear today again) has been damaged beyond repair by the accident. So, after a great lunch at Pizza Hut, went for a shopping spree at Adyar. Got hold of a really cool pair for only 495 bucks! Went to Odyssey after that, spent a full 3 hours lost in that wonderful, wonderful place, bought a few books and came back home a happy (albeit a bit injured, but nonetheless, happy), satisfied man who now also knows how to ride (and also how not to ride) a scooter :)

Happy Onam, everybody!
