Well ... the golden year did not seem golden right just now. In fact, when I look back, I would perhaps remember these moments as the darkest moments of my life ... it seemed to me as if I will have to let go of my dream ... of doing my MBA from IIM ... Yes! .. It was that bad ... that medicine from Rangan had done its damage. My foot was in the worst possible condition ... actually not foot but feet .. The infection had spread across both the feet ... i had sort of boils filled with disgusting smelling water all over my feet. I just could not walk as that bursted the boils on the bottom of my foot and I was covered in that smelling liquid ... But I had to attend the classes .. thanks to 80% attendance rule at IIML. I remember ... it used to smell a lot and hence even though a sandal would make things simpler for me ... as i would be able to keep my foot out in open ... I still used to wear shoes to classes .. so that its not embarrasing for me ... as well as inconvenience for others ... I still remember Diwakar's (my classmate who used to sit next to me) reaction the day it was at its worse ...
Srimurugan Veluswamy (commonly called as "murgi") .... one of my classmates as well as hostelmates ... one day suddenly called it my bday in class (i am sure it was just a joke) .... but the tussle that followed .. ensured that my feet went from bad to worse ... I had almost emptied the bandage and dettol provided by Manish (thanks!) ... Since I was nursing my foot without proper directions, care and with horrid wrong medicines ... I had an irky feeling sometimes as if its going to spread to my hands also ... one or two days i could see small irritation marks on my hands also ... i could still give exams ...without my feet ... but if something happened to my hands ...
I cried in my room ... all alone ... asking God why had he done it to me ... and if I could not complete my studies ... why the hell had he allowed me to come here ... All this time I had kept everyone at home oblivous of all this ..... But now i decided to let them know .. I needed their blessings to carry on ....
