Good to be back blogging. The last month or so has been quite languid, save for that darned surgery for my torn knee ligament which I underwent after a lot of dilly-dallying, and the major KLPD* on my birthday.
Recently, my knee ended up with 2 screws, the size of whose made me wonder whether it was a sadist carpenter doubling up as my surgeon; all this damage done one breezy December morning, courtesy a misjudged disc braking at 70kmph singing Cranberries' Zombie. Whats in your head, In your heeead.Zombie, zombie, zooombbb....scrreeeecchhh...bang!!! Bad landing with the result that the ligament was khichikofied!!
Someday, they should make these Bangalore roads more rock-humming-rider friendly!
It wasn't the surgery though, that tested my endurance.
a. "Dude, you are screwed. Dont that rhyme too? hahahahahaha"
b. "The next time you pass through an X-ray machine, its gonna go bzzzzzz. hehehehehe"
c. "You've become metal man dude...ppphuhaha"
I've got quite a lot of patience, yes. But with statistics of 235 for a, 429 for b, and 162 for c at last count, I cant help but be overwhelmed with awe at the sheer likemindedness in people on what is "funny" in such situations. The urge to use certain adjectives when people make such "funny" comments is sometimes too much to resist. Refraining from satisfying that urge was THE ultimate test of my endurance ;)
Coming to what the KLPD on my birthday was, its this. For a guy who has been on a staple diet of great tasting birthday cakes @ 0000 hours every July 7th, there wasn't any this time. In fact nobody wished at midnight too. Now having known these blokes for so long, I thought I knew the limits of their creativity and thought that all they're gonna do is surprise me once i slept off. So tried pretending to be asleep. No sir. No signs of any flurry of activity anywhere. And when at half past 2, the flickering light coming from the TV in the hall went off, I knew I'd under-estimated these $^@%$%%#. In fact nobody wished me till 4:42pm on 7th. Thats the time I was born it seems. Darned if I knew. Anyways, the gifts were worth the waiting. But for the "look at that cheap bugger coming all the way to the hotel on crutches for an OC treat" stares that met me at the hotel I took everybody for a treat to, the day went just perfect :)
So here I am, a 27 year old basking in the glory of , well at present, at just being a 27 year old!

Some final blogs from my Japan trip soon to follow. Had written them long back but had been lazy bumming all this while and just couldn't muster up the will to publish them till now. Will do that ASAP. Until then, Adios!

Hehehe... Babz.. Given the iron-y of the situation,one cant but help ...
A dire prediction...
Be prepared for a cavity search if you ever happen to pass thru em metal detectors in US airports :D
Anyways will refrain from further metaferrical comments about the current ongoing ordeal in ur life...:P
Peace.
Probably I also reacted in a funny way to your misery, what to do with you one can hardly be serious..
anyways its pretty irksome when people keep asking questions about how and what and why the accident happened..better prepare an FAQ and distribute to people when they ask..Or blog it off and let the entire world know..:)
