I woke today, posted my blog and went to office. After working for an hour I started feeling dizzy. I told to myself that you have not yet become senior enough in the company to tell people that you are planning when you are actually sleeping in your chair. 

I worked for few more minutes and then went to a colleague and asked him, ”Check yaar, do I have a fever?” He touched my hand and told me , “Bad news. You can’t take half day sick leave because you are not sick.”

I came back to my desk and tried to work. After about an hour I felt I was having headache. This time I didn’t went to my colleague to get it confirmed because when I feel that I am having a headache, I know I am having a headache. 

I somehow managed to work until lunch, then I had lunch, then had an ice cream, came back to my desk and started coughing.  My remaining day was spent coughing every now and then and saying excuse me whenever I felt people around me were making faces. 

I reached home after taking a detour to a medical shop. At home I took the medicine and started watching a movie. 

Mid-way during the movie I felt I had no more headaches and was coughing very little. This meant either the medicines I had brought were good or the movie I was watching was good enough to cheer me up. I don’t know the right answer but I know life is strange. Life is not what you get, life is not what you wish, life is not what you accept, life is not… wait…I have got no idea what life is.

To sum up

Smile and the world smiles with you. Cry and everyone in office wants to talk to you to get material to start office rumors.
