No sooner had I reached the campus yesterday morning when my world started spinning..literally I mean. K took me to the university clinic and after about two hours of tests that involved ECG and drawing of blood by the phlebotomist (yep, a new word I learned yesterday from the guy who was drawing my blood, a.k.a the phlebotomist), there is no clear verdict on the cause as the results will take two days. But I guess the doc did not want to send me home empty handed and so the condition was temporarily diagnosed as mild vertigo with an order to go home and rest which of course I was more than happy to follow. At home, in bed I had the choice between reading or watching /listening and I decided to go with the latter as I figured it involved less effort and therefore less energy expended.
Watched two emotionally draining (so much for attempting to save energy) movies- One Day (Anne Hathaway's) and Mr&Mrs Iyer (probably my 4th/5th viewing). This was followed by a lecture by Dr Ramchandra Guha (one of my favorite Indian intellectual/author) where he presented a fascinating analysis on India (I totally recommend it). A light lunch and some light snoozing thereafter I was felling pretty fine the rest of the day. Back in campus today already missing yesterday, minus the spinning ofcourse.
Going off on a tangent here, a bit on my trip home..I experienced Delhi winter again after a really long time. It was all foggy & cool which was lovely (except for the 5 hrs we spent in the plane waiting for the fog to clear before the ATC gave the green signal) and a bit downcast which according to me is the perfect weather...the kind of weather where you can easily forgive and easily be in love. See what I am talking about..
Cochin was a bit humid and warm but lovely and green as always and good company made up for any shortcomings if at all. I want to show off some more pictures from my local road trips..but another day when I want to talk less and let the image do the talking.
