100F | September 3, 2006

If 98.4 F is the normal human body temperature then 100F is the threshold to normalcy, proper response to stimuli, and functioning of the human body. I know. I lived with that for three days last week.
It began in a bus ride back home from just another day at college with just a mere throat infection that I have never had in the last 20 years. Never thought I’d hate the bus so much. I don’t remember a damn thing of that journey, just that I was glad to get off and hit the sack.
I made it to college the next day, and it grew back in the afternoon. This time the medic at the college gave me a Dolopar. This stuff is a lifesaver. Its a paracetamol-caffeine combo with a punch, although the concentration is comparable to a Crocin (500mg). Kept me going for the rest of the day but it didn’t solve the throat infection. Some anti-biotics have taken care of that. Amidst this fracas, the college’s Mechanical Engineering Department (that’s us) had another edition of its Technical fest and it was a grand success compared to last years’ mayhem. We finally had the right guys on the job.
