Good news or Bad news

Its good news for those who reach for headache pills after reading my blogs/comments.
Its bad news for those who read my blogs/comments to avoid sleeping pills.

Its confirmed. I have to leave tonight for an one month trip to Chennai.
Will be back on 9th Feb 2006. So wont be blogging much though will be reading your comments.

And now I am worrying about what I would do
if there is a hijacking (nothing, just pray, I am wise donkey, not Harrsison Ford in Air Force One. And since I dont believe that hostages should be exchanged for terrorists etc, guess just prayers for me.)
if there is an accident (scream)
if there is an earthquake (during take off, landing and when in Chennai), well who said, there wont be an earthquake where I am today, hmm some consolation. (But here its the groundfloor easier to run out). But I hope there isn't an earthquake especially when I am with the dentist and there is some equipment in my mouth (Am I the only one who worries like this?)

I just hate travelling. It could be air,water,rail, road. Other than the bicycle, everything is just a strain on my nerves. While I can live happily in any city town or village. Even if it means no net or TV, I just hate the thought of travelling.

Thankfully everyone isnt like me, otherwise nothing would have happened in this world. Though wonder what would have happened if none had travelled to USA. Hmmm who would have been the superpower.

Who cares. I have to worry about myself. Last year I tried the logic of hey even earth is in space, but no one worries about the earth going for a freefall in space. So why worry that an aircraft would have go spiralling down. This didnt help. Just that it has made me wonder what will happen if the earth alters its movements and instead of revolving around sun, starts going downnnnnnnnnnnnnn (See I dont like to take things for granted:D). One more thing to worry about and fear about. And its no consolance if it happens for the first time (in case of earth) or the upteenth time (in case of an aircraft). What happens , happens, I guess.

2006, isnt that kind to me. This trip and then another one in March. Ok enough of cribbing. For those who would miss the blog and yet missed some posts, here are my favourite links. I dont want anyone to get addicted to sleeping pills.

    But i hope you read one in the morning and the other in the evening everyday, if you dont you are going to fall in love with a Leo. If you are already in love with a non-Leo, your kid is going to be a Leo.
