21st century POX!

I always believed in joining the dots and giving the picture a meaning. Little did I realize that my entire body would be submerged in a million of those ugly dots!! I thought having a back ache at this age sucks. But you know what sucks more? CHICKEN POX! Reminds me of this episode in F.R.I.E.N.D.S, where Phoebe is down with the pox. "How can I've chicken pox! I don't even eat chicken!!" she says. Now now, I am ill remember? Any crap would make sense to me!!

Now you must be wondering, why on earth am i sitting in front of a comp while all i should be doing is taking rest. My friends, rest is not an option when even lying down is turning out to be painful! I love it when people run errands for me. Right from changing my sheets to bringing me food. But for the past few days, the "princess" treatment is kinda too much to handle! Especially when the "princess" is all set to audition for Lady Frankenstein! Just received a call from a "well-wisher". He was kind enough to offer to take a pic of mine and show it to me sometime in future when I demanded to watch a scary movie! It's astonishing how a human brain works!

Okie.. I've been staring at the monitor for over 10 mins now. I must be really ill. I am almost never short of words! So I guess i am gonna muster all the courage I've and get done with this.

All this while I thought health was the most hyped thing. I've never really fallen sick apart from a few cases here and there of some allergy/ food poisoning. Yes, I do have some other issues but for my benefit, I shall not bring them up now. So as I was saying, I've been the "I can never fall ill" types. Put me up with a bunch of coughing wizzards or sneezing witches, I am gonna stand my ground and contract nothing! So when that first boil came up, I was like whaaaa.. guess some sortaa viral. Lets get it checked. Next day that lone soldier was visited by few of his relations. Alarm bells rang! DOCTOR! SOS!

As I look at the first boil that appeared on my hand, must I say, he's swelling with pride! The juices of victory ready to spill out at slightest contact. GROSE! Next time I say, I wanna experience it all, I am gonna be more careful! Here's what I've to say to you,

Dear Mr Pox,

I know you love me. Don't blame you. People with brains can't get enough of me. You are still a brainless pox. My body has become your temple. It's kinda touching how you wanna make a mark on every part that constitutes me. You did make me realize that health is indeed everything. I guess being the thick skulled that I am, I wouldn't have realized it any other way. You have ensured that I can't talk much, instilling faith in the proverb, "silence is golden". You have kept me away from junk and sweets for a reasonable amount of time, putting it on my face, that a healthy diet is the starting step to losing weight.

Also, thanks for instilling the fact that I am different - you came to me during winter, you came to me when I am an adult! You must really care for what I think of myself!

 As I look at the mirror now, I know I am still beautiful. Inner beauty is always there to stay. It'll probably take me a while to get back to being a rockstar, but all in good time. After completely invading my body (and throat) isn't  it time for you to leave me? You have enjoyed my company for this long. Don't get them jealous! Ok ok.. I am sorry I said I have really high immunity. Forgive me and leave me alone! and yeah.. take the scars with you PLLLEEEAAAASSSEEE.

P.S : Thanks for giving me company, Achmed the dead terrorist!
