A very “FLU”ent week

Posted on by

Something’s terribly wrong with my immune system . Of late , bacterias and viruses seem to extract a lot of pleasure out of camping within my body . And in present scenario , when even a sneeze would make you a prime suspect of being H1N1 infected ,  common cold would mean a hundred of thousands of test you got to go through .  😡   . And these tests are what I detest more than anuything else . If you ask me the last thing I would like to visit , my answer will be a hospital .

It has just been a fortnight since my return to the college . Mother warned me against this thing called swine flu and advised me all the necessary precautions . She took special care to remind me again and again not to go to Delhi . One thing that I learnt by heart while boarding the train that there are few “H1N1” viruses lurking around in Lucknow Mail trying to locate me . 😛

Two days ago , I got few urgent phone calls from a number of family members and was informed that I need to accompany my cousin to Varanasi the day after . At this point , nothing but the handkerchief in my hand was troubling me . I knew what was going to happen if anyone caught me sneezing . 🙁

Everything that I feared came true . While in the train , my cousin took care to inform everyone across the country that something’s wrong with me . And as soon as I stepped in Varanasi , I was sent for a blood test ( my precious blood all gone 😥 ) and many other blah-blah tests .  😡   . Some two hours of torture and what does that results to ? All the reports were exceptionally ordianary . I was like ” Dekha … I told you ” . But the doc seemed to have his own plans . He advised me three days complete bed rest for PRECAUTIONARY reasons . And hence , right now I am back in Lucknow .

Does size really matter ??? Even something as small as a swine can create such a terror in our mind which even a hydrogen bomb can not .

P.S. In these times , even normal influenza could prove to be as deadly as H1N1 . 😡
