Fun and Flu !!!

last week was one full of hectic activities !! and loads of fun ..:-) well, it was my teammate arun's marriage at "avinashi". this is a small and busy town near tirupur, which is near coimbatore..which is ..ok forget it.

so we all (8 of us in my team) decided to go there. we left chennai on tuesday 6th of march by the trivandrum express. we managed to spend all of the 7 hours playing cards and dumb charades. finally we got off at 11 in the night at tirupur where a car was awaiting. so off we went to avinashi and to the marriage hall. had so much of food at 11.30 ( hot dosas and chapathis..), that we just flopped on our beds at the hotel.

at around 2.50 pm, there was a scream and all 3 of us woke up and then "takk" the power went off. ( there were 3 of us girls in the group). it was like a scene from a thriller movie. we could hear people speaking, but were too scared to open the door. so we called the guys from our team sleeping in the next room. one poor guy picked up and spoke groggily, and i was speaking to him almost breathless.

what he came out and saw will surely rank as one of his memorable experiences. 3 guys drunk to the brim, were lying on top of each other right in front of our door. don't know how they had the sense to switch off the main switch of our room. anyway, they managed to make these guys go inside and got the power back.

but we were quite shaken by this, and my head started throbbing with pain. i dozed off after half an hour of anger, helplessness and cursing in my mind.

well, the marriage next morning went off fine, and our train back to chennai was only at 10.30 pm. visited the avinasi lingam temple and off we went to "black thunder" .

we had so much fun from around 12 in the noon to 5.30 in the evng, that at the end of it none of us could even put one step forward. personally, i was having a good time with a group after school and college tours. anyway, on the way back we also visited marudhamalai ( didn't want to leave out anything) !.

the cheran express threw us into chennai the next day morning. and i went into my bed straight away and found myself waking up to the afternoon sun at 1 'o clock.

all was well, but the next day i found my throat hurting so much that i couldn't swallow. always the first sign of impending danger. rightly so i found that i couldn't sit in office the next day and ran home, only to be told by the doctor that i had all the symptoms of "flu".

well,well, well...after some earfull and "i told you so" from my parents and popping five tablets for the past 2 days into my painful throat..here i am narrating.

all in all, it was good fun despite the flu ;))

PS: think before you get into the water at black thunder, it needs some serious cleaning.
