A straw that broke the camel’s back

After excessive workload, driving and exertion my body had to break off… and it happened on last Saturday. When I got up I was not feeling perfectly fine, some back pains, cold and cough, but I thought it would pass away.

In the morning I finished my pending bank transactions and other overdue works. In the evening I went to see Sarkar along with my colony friends. Then freaking out with friends the whole evening and the resistance in my body finally said “That’s it” “can’t handle anymore” My friends could trace out from my face that I need some rest and I really needed some. I went home and was straight down on bed. After sometime, took some medicines and went off to sleep…

Sunday morning I was slightly better but my back pain continued to trouble me… I guess I had an overdose of driving and working… In the evening our old housemaid aunty came and gave me a back massage, actually it was a must. Aunty has been working @ our home since I was 15yrs and now her daughter in law works… I mean in a city like Mumbai where it’s difficult to trust a person we had such a wonderful and trust worthy people. I still remember, she used to have one bunch of duplicate keys of our house so that she can come at her convenience to do the work. She has now got into massaging work. After that 20 mins massage I got some relief. When mumma was offering her dues, she initially refused and said “Apne ladke ki maalish karungi to paise thode lungi”, but then finally after so much insisting of mom she accepted the money. (I can actually write a separate post for her, she is always kind to us…)

In the evening I was alive enough to meet my friends downstairs and do some TP. My friends knew that my back has gone for a toss, so NV had got some ayurvedic oil for me, so sweet of her. After having my dinner, my sis massaged my back with that oil and heating bag. It was of great relief.

I know I’ve to get into the regular exercise mode, but that’s just not happening… hope to join some gym or swimming atleast some body exercise will happen… I’ve to start with basic brisk walking and warn up exercises, my muscles should realise that they have to perform some other actions than just staying there and growing ;-)
