This is not the first time I am ill but this time I am not able to get rid of the god damn fever, so just thought of expressing some rage against it 😛 All this started last Thursday (Sep 11, 2008).

Sep 11, 2008

I slept at 1AM because I had two exams next morning. I woke up at 7AM to prepare for the exams which was about to start at 9:30AM. When I woke up, I felt that everything was not really fine. But still I carried on, prepared for the exams, had my breakfast, rushed to main building to take the exam. Screwed the first exam big time because whatever I crammed ( 😛 ), I forgot 😉 I even forgot how to multiply two matrices 🙁 To learn, I took two 2×2 matrices in the exam and tried multiplying them and applied the formula |A|x|B| = |R| where R = AxB. I didn’t know whether that formula was valid or not. It was just another wild guess. But the damn thing worked and I learnt how to multiply two matrices. Sat in the exam hall for 1.5 hours for almost nothing. Returned to OBH.

Listen/watched some Punjabi pop videos for a break as if I returned from a war or something 😛 Had another exam at 12:00 noon. As I was walking from OBH to main building it was drizzling. I was not well and then this drizzling thing. Things got worse. Mild cold till now. TIS exam kinda surprised me. I wrote whatever I can think of in half an hour and rushed to Yuktahaar. Had lunch .. back to OBH and Punjabi pop videos at full sound as if India won a cricket match against Pakistan 😀 (BTW I don’t like cricket.) Did nothing useful for the rest of day. By that night I got mild fever. Mild fever + mild cold is awesome combo. You are not well enough to work but at the same time you are not unhealthy enough to rest. After Punjabi videos for the rest of the day and half the night, got back to browsing stuff. At about 2AM, went to Rishabh’s (the other student sysadmin) room to discuss some download policies. Was there up to 4AM. Got back and went to sleep.

Deepak rushed to my room at 10AM saying that we have some Systems and Network Security lab. I got ready asap and we were in lab in another 15 minutes. Did some blah blah in lab up till 11AM. At 11AM I asked TA for leave as I have to attend a presentation by few people from Cisco and IronPort. I wasn’t feeling really well but I decided to attend it. The presentation lasted longer than I assumed. It got over at 2PM. I rushed to OBH without any delays. Had lunch and went to my room to take some rest. But computer is a devil. Browsing stuff for the rest of the day.

At 6:30PM, Pankaj (another devil) pinged me and asked for McD. OMG. It has been months since I went to McD. Before going home, I used to go McD every week. And it the last week before going home, I went to McD thrice in the same week (twice alone :D). I couldn’t refuse. Finally me, Kapil Agarwal, Sambhav, Pankaj, Sachin aka KKG headed to city center. Pankaj and Sachin dropped off at Pizza hut and the rest of us went to McD. Had burgers, french fries etc.. It was nice visiting McD after a long time. We visited some shops in the mall after that especially the e-zone. E-Zone is the most fascinating shop in Hyderbad. After our quick visit to different shops, we had ice-creams at McD. It was raining (not drizzling this time) outside and I was emphasizing time and again to wait for the rain to stop because I was ill. But Kapil forced a bit and I have this ego problem. I didn’t wait for anything and rushed out in the rain towards the bus stop. We were waiting for a bus or an auto at the bus stand near city center for almost 10 minutes. We boarded a bus and headed to Mehndipattnam. From there we got into an Indica (thanks to all the employees on the wipro-infosys road 😀 ). Returned to IIIT.  Got back to browsing and server analysis. By that time fever was not mild anymore. Went to sleep.

Woke up at 2PM. Just another day. Watched few movies, video songs. Nothing special to be mentioned here.

Woke up at 2PM. Rushed to Indira Nagar to see the doctor with Sambhav. I was surprised when doctor said I didn’t have fever. He gave some antibiotics. We went to reliance fresh, bought some eatables include three liters of apple juice. Got back to IIIT. I consumed one liter of that apple juice in just three hours to recover from weakness. But to my surprise that didn’t help at all. Situation got worse after dinner. Took few medicines and went to bed. After 12:20AM situation got even worse. I thought a lot about going to hospital. At 1:30AM, I decided to go to Apollo. Me and Mahaveer rushed to Apollo. Saw the doctor. He referred for some tests and gave some medicines as well. We headed back to IIIT at 3AM. There is a sensitive story related to our return but will write that in another post. We were back at IIIT at 4AM. Went to bed.
