Can you imagine how much of a sunshine a diary milk can bring to one's life? Here I am, confined to bed for a week, and when my best friend came to meet me now, he got me a big diary milk! Boy, I was real happy. I knew that even he had a tiring day at office, but when people show that they care, it really makes one happy, especially if you are sick and tired of being sick!!!
And that makes me think of the brighter part of bed rest:
1) You have loads of time to yourself - which means you can sleep when you like and getup when you like.
2) You can catch up with movies and books, and re-read or watch all-time favorites (To name a few, I watched High School Musical Series,Hangover,Unnai Pol Oruvan,Mein aur Mrs Khanna,Malabar Wedding,Taken... and finished reading '2 states'-a new novel by Chetan Bhagat and False Impression by Jeff Archer)
3) You can see sunset (I dont want to mention sunrise here, coz I prefer to sleep, and be happy with sunset, thank you!)
4) And now, lemme face it, you get to know whether you really like your job or not: The last time I was confined to bed with a broken bone, I was happy being at home, and this time, I wanted to go back to work and see a lot of black unix screens around me!
5) You dont have to cook, and better still, not wash the heavier and messier vessels at home.
6) No college.. Hooray to this one! (Though I will have to attend makeup classes later, I need not bother about college right now)
7) You can write blogs like these where you need to think of every single positive thing out of something entirely negative :)
Oops.. wonders that a diary milk and a loving smile can do to one. Ain't I happy?

Exercise maadi!!!
I am a certified software engineer too.. not because I finished some very complex certification exams which doesn't have dumps(Sigh!) but because I am currently asked to take bed rest owing to a bad back ache. And I thought its very much my responsibility to write about the 'syndrome' I have now since I know for sure that many of my techy friends do take their time to read this blog :)
Well.. first of all, as we all very well know, sitting in the same posture for long is bad, and doing that regularly with no exercise is even worse. We have all been thinking of exercising daily(I know, I have been thinking too like, say, for 2 years now :), but never do since we are not able to take off for 30 mins(so we say, but the real reason is, stand up to it, we are just plain lazy!). But then, from my experience over the last week, lemme tell you, its better to do 30 mins of exercise everyday rather than to be confined to bed for 1 whole week. Take my word for it, its boring, to the core!
And coming back to the problem faced, its called 'Disk Prolapse'(mine is a minor one though). It mainly happens for youngsters today because of the above mentioned reason(no flexibility for our body, incase you have already forgotten).
So dear friends, don't think that am being a Guru, but do flex your muscles, and take good care of yourselves - because ultimately, that's one thing that really does matter!!!

Awesome weather @ Bengaluru
Its 9:00 pm at Bangalore, and its awesome weather here, and I just thought I will describe how it is and how it impacts me (well, this post definitely is the impact of this weather)...
First and foremost,for us, the techies who are very much responsible for the addition of a word to Oxford dictionary(Bangalored), who do not see much of daylight, do not see any at all nowadays since the sun shines barely, or so it seems. Its great to sleep late mornings with a quilt over head, and then wrap the Reebok/Nike jacket(I rarely see software ppl without this accessory and hence its mention here) close against the body for warmth, on our way back home in the cab, which is nearly always, midnight!
And on holidays like this which makes us all mutter a biiiiig thanks to Gandhiji, its great to stay inside, and fry fish, and eat it, when its raining outside. I know that we should be into non-violence atleast today(being Gandhi Jayanthi), but since the fish were already dead when we got it, I guess that's ok :) And in the evenings when the sky is cleared, get dressed in some warm clothes and go for a ride. The cold air can rejuvenate the body. But if you stay out in the cold weather for long, instead of your nose turning pink, it will turn, hmmm, moist ;) So stop at the nearest comfy coffee shop, and again wrap your pashmina shawls against yourself and take a piping hot cup of coffee. This when done with loved ones gives rejuvenation# 2.
And in the late-evening(late-evening, not night), get back home and take a refreshing hot water bath. After that, get all curled up in the sofa with dinner and watch a movie(am not sure whether it rains/drizzles outside at this point of time, but believe me, it IS cold). And well, what else, just drift off to sleep!
