as Jack Sparrow says, "Savvy?"

its been an eventful week. not necessarily a happy one, but definitely a happening one. it started off great. we won the KQA metaquizzicks anniversary quiz, last sunday, for the second consecutive year, and i had this nice post i wanted to write then, about how we, Tonic, were the quizzing equivalent of weapon of mass destruction, the australia of college quizzing and barring the moon landing generation, superior to all( yes, including a certain moody liar), but couldn't quite write it because i developed a sore throat and writing isn't fun when you feel like arthropods are scurrying down the hatchet. that sore throat developed into a full fledged fever by monday and by tuesday i was wheezing like steam engine . savvy?
wednesday our guide at IISC decided, that we were a bunch of squeaky clean no goods and ordered us to fill sacks of charcoal, so i was drenched in charcoal dirt and wheezing like an engine, some heat and i would have made stephenson proud. thursday i lost my sex drive. i don't use it much, but i really like the feeling of knowing its alive and kicking. i also saw this newsbyte on NDTV. seems they are about bulldoze Delhi's oldest and beloved dog shelter. and the clearly agitated lady dolittle went " don't they realize that if they bulldoze this place, it will go literally to the dogs!!!!". sigh. she had my sympathy, till she uttered the last sentence. some people are stupid and dogs arn't despicable creatures, they are the visage of heaven.
friday was my brother's birthday. mum decided at midnight, (india time), that we should call him and " all of you yell, loudly, happy birthday!", so thats what we did, it was 5 A.M, where he was and the poor guy could only muster, " couldn't you all have waited", i must say that i thoroughly did my bit. friday i realized that i needed to finalize my seminar topic. on a whim i decided it to be "ergonomics". its not going to be fun.
saturday, i come home to no cable. but it could have been worse. a friend's friend died under a moving train in the same week. it certainly could have been worse.
