Yes, I know I disappeared again. And this time it has been longer. I was
sick again and this time I was down with chicken pox. Yeah, you heard me
right, of all things - chicken pox. Many would say, it is something
children get. Well, yes. But, I never had it as a child. So, I guess I
wasn't immune and was an easy prey to it this time.
Before you ask, let me tell you, I am far better now. Motivated enough
to update this blog. The blisters were not very wide spread. So, I guess I was down with a milder one. But the symptoms were annoying - fever, sore throat, back ache, lethargy and the constant desire to itch.The blister are drying up now and hopefully in a
day or two, will scab off. I have been on a very bland diet for the past
10 days and have to be so for a couple of more days (so, I have been
advised). A dear friend took care of cooking things for me all these
days. I can't thank her enough for all the help and concern. I am grateful
to God for blessing me with such good friends.
So, you can guess there hasn't been much cooking and clicking of late.
Although, I have a number of drafts for recipe posts, I don't feeling
like posting them. I will however post a few, if I am not cooking
anything new for a few days.
Past 10 days I have rested like I have not in years. No household
chores, no TV, no cooking. Only long distance calls and unlimited
sleeping and a little reading when ever I felt like. I read The Help by
Kathryn Stockett, Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. So, expect the
reviews for these book soon. I have 3 other books that I am reading now
Lingering Tide and other stories by Latha Vishwanathan, Freakonomics by
Levitt and Dubner and The Little Shadows by Marina Endicott.
Among other updates, I have been on twitter (@JyotiBabel) for sometimes now. Although, I am not much of a tweeter myself, I love to check what the world is tweeting about. Recently, I found from twitter that Instagram App for Android is out. I have seen many people sharing pictures through this app and so I signed up on Instagram instantly (as I recently got myself an Android phone). Instagram is a fun way of sharing pictures. So, if you have an iPhone or an android phone and love taking pictures, Instagram is for you. If you are already there then do check out my profile at JyotiBabel. After Pinterest(jbpages), Instagram is the thing I am hooked to.
Hopefully, this space will be active with a few book reviews for the time being. Stay tuned.
Thank you for stopping by. Cheers!
Chalo get healthier soon.

ReplyDeleteWhen I had chicken pox in my Undergrad, my mom put a whole layer of neem leaves on my bed for its cooling effect. But hated that one week of seeing myself in the mirror :-/
