The week gone by!

The only good thing about it was that I got to miss office for 4 of the 5 days (Of course my leave balance would go down, but still missing office, unplanned, gives a sense of fun). Down since saturday evening, due to fever, cough and body pain. Sunday, fever continues. Monday, few blood tests later doctor suspects it to be Dengue fever. Meanwhile a tropical storm is heading Chennai's way. Tuesday - status quo. All I manage is only sleep. Wed, much better, but on leave still. Thu - Terror attacks on Mumbai since wed night, managed to haul myself up to the office, to be greeted with the news that the storm has intensified to a tropical cyclone - Nisha is the name. Took 2 hrs to reach home that day, avoided the already clogged roads and took the train instead. Had to wade through 2 feet of water to reach home from the station. Friday - Our roads wore the look of a river, lake breached, knee-deep water flowing all through the day. Needless to say, did not venture out. To heighten the frustration, no power since thu evening. Saturday - Power restored late morning. The rains have let off just in time for my parents' and sister's arrival tomorrow afternoon.
