What was intended to be a week long re-juventating break in Kerala away from the maddening traffic and 12 hour stress-inducing work day in Bangalore, has turned out to be a month long affair.
After quitting my second job in as many years, I was indeed looking forward to spending a few days with my parents and feasting on fish/prawns/crab curry/fry and having some leisurely 'me' moments on the terrace caressed by the river breeze. This, I had imagined would recharge me well for the gruelling two months ahead of me that were crucial to revise for the Prelims due in May.
Alas, that was not to be. I spent two weeks bedridden on a strict vegetarian diet thanks to the scarring chicken pox. Not having a bath for 17 days in hot and humid Kerala was the worst part.
P.S : The scars on the face remain. And the thought does cross my mind 'will the scars not drastically de-value me in the marriage market :-( ?!!'
