Ever fell sick and were happy that you fell sick.

I had throat infection and fever throughout yesterday night. Why am i happy about it? That is because i have very less work to do for the following week.

I cannot imagine falling sick when there is an important assignment that is due in the near future and i am on the bed not able to get the work done or concentrate on helping my body immune system work its magic on me. Luckily i have finished a significant part of my assignment with very few things left to do. To add to my joy, coming Tuesday is a holiday as it is the veteran's day. Good for me.

I also have a notion that if i fall sick then the probability that i will fall sick again for the next couple of months is very small. So i consider this as a blessing in disguise especially when i have my finals coming up in a month and a half and i have a major portion of my grade dependent on it.

So the next time you fall sick, just think about it. It could be a blessing or a curse.

Feeling out of place.

I realized how out dated i am on movies and songs for the past couple of months. My friend Ashwin keeps sending me new kannada songs every other day. Same is the case with Vamsi who also sends good songs to me. I listen to them once and thats it. I never find time or the urge to listen to them again. This is not because i don't like to listen to them. It is just the case of me being occupied with something else.

In the earlier days, i had the patience to download it and update my playlist. Now i just listen to it from my gmail inbox. I noticed that i have stopped using my headphone which means that i have also stopped listening to songs. Songs and movies will no more be a topic of discussion when i meet my friends in an online conference. However that won't prevent them from picking on me for this big mistake. I will however have to come up (and will come up) with something else that keeps them from pulling my leg.
