Two deaths in the last two weeks. One I heard today, is of my school principal. We called her Princi Mam. She was scary, not exactly like Miss.Trunchball. She never took any lessons for ud. But when she did come walking in the corridor, everyone would go silent. She would inspect us preparing for Sports day or Independence day March and shout, stand straight. You are not old ladies and grandpas. Walk straight. Keep your back straight. Another of her pet peeve was 'bathroom slipper', she would catch boys wearing slippers on Saturdays and embarrass them why are you in bathroom slippers. Ya, we were allowed to go in non-uniform clothes on Saturdays. My superpower was being invisible. The scariest part was when I lost my super power. It was in 8th std I think. She came to my class, she looked at me and she said. Yes, cast her. She has long hair, she would make a good angel. Do I like an angel in any shape or form? But thats how I ended up with the only speaking part ...
You feel so tired and exhausted. The only way your brain could function is with coffee. Drink some, drink some more and more. You are tired you drink coffee. You drink coffee you stay awake late night. Or you wake up all alert at 3 am. So sharp that extreme Suduko is complete in minutes and then you get up sleep deprived. You drink coffee to function. Doesnt help. Doesnt help at all when you are Iron defecient. You pop in Ferrous Sulphate as advised by Doctor. Iron upsets your tummy. Was the Ferrous to make you not tired or to make you tired. More Ferrous I take, more upset my tummy gets. More tired I get. Is it helping? To this deadly mix add coffee. Lifes all merry all around. Coffee to help you, where Ferrous fails. Coffee to help you all day long. Coffee to keep you going. Too tired, too tired. Oh my mind is so alert at 3am. Alert enough to solve all worlds problems. But making me tired all day long.
With the shivers going down my spine. I pulled in on the two throws, I had handy on my chair. But even with two layers things werent going any better. I wanted a few more layers. But I was literally frozen in my chair unable to move except for the involuntary shivers. Not sure what came over me, I started howling and crying. Mister came running hearing my howls in a while. He was asking me, what happened, I wasnt in a situation to utter a single word. I did finally tell him, I needed another blanket.He got that to me. The shivers were subsiding, but mister insisted we go to A& E. I tried to convince him that in couple of minutes I will get prescription from the gp and then back to happy days. He wasnt convinced. He was scared. And the arguement seemed meaningless I started shaking again. Its just shills and shivers. Nothing really to worry. A half-way mark where we can meet. I suggest we talk to 111, and if they suggest we go to A&E we go. Call to 111, a million questions late...
