In America

 Yesterday night, I felt like four laborers were sitting on top of a rock that is my head and gonging on it as they please. As morning came in, nausea also hit in. I felt like my system was hanging - like it had given up.  Then suddenly, I got up, went to the wash basin and vomited.  That clarified things a bit for me - I was sick. Today, I am supposed to visit Amruth and Anjana's family in Fremont for Onam get-together. Looks like Divya and kids will have to go. I will let him know closer to lunch time and I slept. I was woken up by Amruth's call asking me to get three chairs over. So I let him know that I am a little sick, and may not be able to make it. He told me to try and make it as much as possible. Immediately after, Anjana called Divya and insisted that I go along, and that I can lie down at their home. I also thought atleast someone would be there if I were to actually need some help. Amruth had also asked whether I had eaten anything outside - I had said no....
