Have I had one crazy week!
Believe it or not, I dont think it gets any crazier..I slept for 2 hours today, late evening..Have a dull bodyache due to 'something in the air'. Cant sleep, hence time to blog!
Last Saturday, I was in Bangalore, after leaving the desigh studio, I wanted to get my laptop serviced.(I still have Monster's Ball stuck in it, ever since my last blog on the review of it) Hence, my loquacious driver decided to take me to the Apple service centre, only to discover that is was closed on a saturday. This catastrophe, after being stuck in ominous traffic for over an hour and half.
I was quite stressed,had 3 hours to flightime, hence, took off to the Leela ( the best spa in a hotel in India) had a Grey Goose vodka with Red Bull and plonked myself between plush cushions in a baroque style bar environment.
I think I dosed off, for when I sat at right angle again, I saw 2 men from Oz, in shorts, grinning at me.. Cheers!
Well, after a quiet drink or two, I went to the Spa to get a synchronised Ayurvedic Oil Massage. ( Meaning two women slobbering you with oil.. up and down.. criss- cross.. sideways.. whichever way!)
Ah.. oil-freed and relieved, I headed for the Aiprport with my sing-song driver.. and 'spaced out' that I was, by then, I obliged him with some common South Indian sing-song jargon.
Back in Ahmedabad, the next day, I decided to go donate blood. (I'd got an urgent call in B'lore, urgent requirement for the recent flood vicitms) I love to do a good deed, ideal day being Sunday to do so. So, I got there with my driver.. urging him to also contribute. Alas! He was underweight but he had good intentions.
After the initial flinching, squeamishness and racquet (that I always create), I succumbed to giving up 400 ml and watched it sway in the machine.
Feeling like the cats whiskers, I got upto to leave; I hardly made it to the doorway, when I started to feel dizzy.
I expressed my state of affairs to the doctor and she advised me to lie down. Well, before I reached the reclining chair, I experienced an odd sensation..
.....My recollection being of someone screaming and someone plummeting a hard object into my head (Im wondering what wrong I've done!)
I woke up to bluebirds twittering around my head in symphony and some really concerned looking faces surrounding me.
Now though I realised where I was, I ha no idea what had happend. I was looking around for the attacker.. who'd mugged me with an iron object in the streets! I was told to not talk ( which is a mammoth task) and was told what'd actually happend, a blood pressure instrument was strapped on, given a glass of glucose water. Ouch! the head hurt, the dizzyness returned..but in no time it was replaced by embarassment and a fit of laughter!!
Hence, an eventful time atthe bloodbank and 2 hours of a siesta followed.. my natural glowing complexion began to return by evening.
Once you hit your head, I tell you.. things are not what they seem. As you shall discover as follows..
