Just now I realised that this is my first post in 2009. So Happy New Year guys (for both English and Tamil new year)
Itβs hardly a month since New Year eve and I have already faced both sides of life π . 2009 started with a very high note for me and I was entirely occupied for the first three weeks, both due to work as well as due to hobby. (In fact I even planned to write a post titled Jam-paced Jan π )
Things started off well with Chennai Tweetup at Broken Bridge (Pictures) , FoodWalk at Mint Street (Yet to upload pictures) and then Chennai Sangamam (pictures)
On 16th Jan, I went to the grand finale of Chennai Sangamam at Besant Nagar with Aswin and Yuvi. It was damn good and as usual I started taking photos. It was too crowded and we were not able to get near to the stage. I started using Aswinβs head as a tripod. Seeing this, a shop keeper gave me a chair and I continued to take photos by standing on this chair. When Drums Mani was performing, people standing in the back started to push and someone knocked the chair in which I was standing. After a few second this is how the chair looked like π
I got up and after laughing at myself, checked my cam and myself. There were only some minor Scratches and I started to enjoy the event and then the fireworks.
It was only after a couple of days later, I came to know that my heroics efforts have caused some internal injury and have ruptured my appendix. I had severe pain in my abdomen and got admitted to the hospital on 21st Jan. After two hours of surgery doctors removed my appendix and now I am back at home after losing 30 grams of weight. π
I went to hospital again today to get my stitches removed. It seems that the Wounds have healed and I should get back to normal life style in a week or two.
At last I succeeded in reducing my weight without any diet or exercise π
I lost 5 KGs in one week. Thanks to TYPHOID π
Get well soon.
@Swaminathan, I guess you beat me in that. π Thanks for your wishes
Now, that’s like a fun outlook to an almost serious incident!
Wishing you a speedy recovery π Get back soon!
@Aswin, There are two sides for each incident, the fun and the serious side.
I am learning to concentrate on the fun side. Let’s see how it turns out. π
