This Diwali is special as it Coincides with our fourth wedding anniversary.As the bangalore streets come alive with rich and prosperous pattakke celebrations,Sidhdhique,our neighbor's son gave Niya a jolt with his pottas gun that made a shot sound as opposed to recorded gun music that he usually flaunts.
Bangalore has lot of money judging by the uninhibited celebrations from all around.
I was hoping to go for a small unplanned outing as part of our anniversary celebrations but the fever, sore throat,chest congestion, fatigue , head ache and cough pinned me to my bed in my sweater.
I watch helplessly as my weekend is slipping past through my hands inconsequential.I wanted to go out and do some anniversary shopping - shelved due to sick health.Going out is not an option - so how about seeing a movie at home - watching TV for long time gives you a bad headache.Can't read a book either.Can't play with my daughter either as she is not sick.Our maid has prepared good-looker chicken curry but my doctor has instructed me a mild diet.Wanted to buy some sweets - again dietary restriction.
The only solace is the sickness itself - an escape from routine.And if it really persists, may be a sick leave...
