Well it's a fine Sunday morning, the sun is rising slowly after a painful tiring week, and..................WAIT!!
I just realised that my temperature had gone up, and my body is aching a bit. My right elbow joint and knee joints were slightly paining. And a slight headache erupted in me. It was like my forehead may blast into pieces. I thought that may be it might be just a fever, since I drank so many cold drinks & ice creams within a day and on Saturday night I had taken a head bath. So I took the normal medications and went to sleep.
Monday morning my total body was burning with fever. My body temp had gone from 98.6ºF to 102.2ºF. So I was rushed to the hospital and given all these medications. It was confirmed that I got Chikungunya.........
Chikungunya is a relatively rare form of viral fever caused by an alpha virus that is spread by mosquito bites from the Aedes aegypti mosquito, though recent research by the Pasteur Institute in Paris claims the virus has suffered a mutation that enables it to be transmitted by Aedes albopictus (Tiger mosquito)- a mosquito with black and white striped legs and small, black and white body. This was the cause of the plague in the Indian Ocean and a threat to the Mediterranean coast at present. This mosquito has become a significant pest in many communities because it closely associates with humans (rather than living in wetlands), and typically flies and feeds in the daytime particularly in the early hours after dawn and for 2-3 hours before darkness rather than at night. It is a container and puddle breeder, needing only a few ounces of water to breed. It is more active outdoors.
Chikungunya fever is characterized by sudden onset, chills and fever, headache, vomiting, arthralgia (joint pains), and rash. Even though this is spread by mosquito's in areas where dengue is also rapidly being spread, Chikungunya fever is not so fatal as dengue.
But its better to consult a doctor as soon as possible and take proper medications.
Mosquito control is the main outbreak control activity. Close to habitation, this mosquito species multiply in collections of stagnant water, mostly in artificial containers. To control the mosquitoes, their breeding sites must be removed, destroyed, protected, frequently emptied and cleaned, or treated with insecticides.
The most effective means of prevention are those that protect against any contact with the disease-carrying mosquito's. These include using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and securing screens on windows and doors.
Well alas! I'm recovering from this after 4 days of pain......
Have fun!!

Lonely Vacations!
Here i am once again!!
IT'S VACATIONS!! PARTY!!!!
But darn, how i mis school....
Through out schooing days i've been expecting the vacations to turn up asap. No I feel I wish I had school. Extra classes and loads of sums to finish off within a week.
And I'm not getting permission to hang around with my friends, coz
1. I'm not studying hard enough (well not studying at all)
2. Country situation is going from bad to worse.
Lonely!! Damn Lonely!!
Wish I had a girl friend.....
But then again like others say Love is painful... Which I've seen, and i know quite a bit about the painful side of it too. Being lonely without anyone who is close to you, is HELL! But if there are people around you and you still feel lonely, i dunno what to call that. People say everyone has the so called "LUCK" around them. And so far i havent felt anything called "LUCK" around me. Not even a small percent. I wanted the so called luck for my O/L's, Love and at least my AL's, which turned out to be a disaster. SO this something proves that some people dont have the so called "LUCK".
"I reach but I feel only air at night. Not you, not love, just nothing." (Evanscence)
I look myself on the mirror, and then say to myself who are you?
Not everyone is true to each other.
I feel that all the people around me are being selfish, except me. Why? I simply havent got an answar for that yet. May be I think I'm too kind hearted, and cant say "NO" if anyones asks for a help or a favour. Which my mom calls stupidity. I cant help it. I trust everyone. Mainly my friends, whom sometimes take advantage of me and give lame excuses, when i'm in a severe need for help. Some betray by leaking secrets here and there, but wanting there secrets to be untold.
Some even say that i'm rude or mean!! What for? For saying stuff like that!!
I see no rudeness by telling something to a persons face. It feels very odd to go talk behind the persons back, and its worse than telling stuff to the face.
Why do i mask my self to people and smile at them when i feel like crying?
Why does a humans brain work so complicatedly?
Why are the people whom are close to my heart, miles away from me?
I wish that someone tries to answer these....
"Don't Leave me here, by myself, I can't Breathe." (Evanscence)
And one thing i know for sure is that GOD is still keeping me down here coz, he knows that he might be in great trouble if I get there upto him.....

The lower I'm kept, the Better for him and the other above!!

When women go wrong, men go right after them...
The restlessness that comes upon girls upon summer evenings results in lasting trouble unless it is speedily controlled. The right kind of man does not look for a wife on the streets, and the right kind of girl waits till the man comes to her home for her. A great catch is like watching girls go by the last one you see is always the prettiest, and the prettiest is the one who has a normal or the ugliest boy firend. But I'm still chasing girls. I don't remember what for, but I'm still chasing them.
Most beautiful but dumb girls think they are smart and get away with it, because other people, on the whole, aren't much smarter. Did you know that girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can't get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.
I wonder why it is, that young men are always cautioned against bad girls. Anyone can handle a bad girl. It's the good girls men should be warned against. One of the most difficult things in the world is to convince a woman that even a bargain costs money. It iis said that a woman's mind is cleaner than a man's. She changes it more often.
Guys are like dogs..... They keep coming back.... Ladies are like cats..... Yell at a cat one time...they're gone.........
And this is one of the most beautiful actresses that i admire, quite difficult to take her off my mind.
And this one is a very young, beautiful & talented one. Her voice is so... well i dont know AWSOME!!
