This time of the year is a very difficult time generally. More so, when I am sick and lying in bed through the day. I had severe cold and high fever and tasteless bud that I felt awful through Christmas day. I am still feeling pretty sick, though I’ve recovered little after taking so much of medicines.

But the weekend was better. I went to a pre-launch new-year party and I enjoyed the music a lot. It was amazing. The drums and keyboard players kept the crowd mesmerized.

Also during the weekend we, as a family, went to ‘Bangalore Central’, a shopping mall. The smile that I saw in my mom when she saw the huge Santa or when she had Chinese Dosa is incomparable. Then later that day, I played chess with my dad. He taught me to play chess and after more than 15 years, I played with him. I did win; but I enjoyed the time that I spent playing with him.
