i did my annual blood tests on June 9. CBC had some surprise for me. it was the level of HB (haemoglobin). it is a very high reading of 17.6 (average levels 13.5-18.0 g/dl)

Cholestrol serum is at 250 (desirable<200mg/dl - borderline 200-239 and high>240mg/dl). but i am cool with it. my current Triglycerides are at 125.9, which is lower over on June 07 (147.6) and march 07 (213.6). LDL seems high at 175.8, while on June 07 it was 157.9 and on march 07 it was 172.1. also my SGPT is at all time low at 21.1 (range 3-45u/l)

recently life has been a little tense; not that it was much better otherwise. but due to society's meetings, which have been termed as 'illegal' by current office bearers, it is worrying me superficially. any ways so far so good. we managed to go thro' the motions successfully. the minutes will be writen soon and we will be ready to meet the 'housing board registrar' with solid material. it is so full of high voltage dramma.

i have been going to Venu's office fairly regularly. in fact he told me that i am supposed to go there everyday. he also likes to spend time with me, perhaps he has no other entertaining company. we saw 'Aamir' on saturday.

sunday was at home. it was raining heavily so could not go for a walk. i realised that if i am not able to walk i dont feel very good these days. should get over it tho', as i get over everything else.

a strange thing happened the other day at the 'provideo' office. i was watching a marathi show (i have been watching a lot of them due to a new marathi show shooting coming up at provideo). well there was a segment about a neumerologist. she was specially talking about my number, 7. she said that number 7 is very artistic, very friendly... but they are prone to get into depressions. and with this something triggered and i really felt as though a drop of depression had seeped in. i have never felt what depression really feels like. now i knew. this happened on saturday june 7, evening. on my way back i told about this to venu in the car. he asked me if i know how to operate computer based recording machines, like nuenedo or protools etc. i said 'no'. he said may be i should learn. that time i thought may be i should learn it. i was not thinking too much and too well. any ways, we sw the film 'aamir'. i thought it was not bad. not bad at all in fact. new director and new actor. i decided to see this film by dumping 'sarkar raj'.

last night we were at dharam's place for dinner. i had decided to do my blood test the next day (today). so i ate my dinner at 7.45pm, so that i can go for the test at 8 or so. which i did today.

i went for a walk at 6.30 as it was not raining at all. so i did a strong effort in nana nani park. the end it started raining hard again. i had a flash forward :- i am at the path lab. as the nurse is taking my blood i realise that the color of the blood seems very light, almost like 'water'. they say you are very sick. i drag myself home and the same day (today), i die.

after waiting in the shed due to rain for a while i ran back home. at 8.15 i went for my boold test. first time the nurse had trouble in getting blood out. as it did not come out, thenurse called out to other senior one. she came and pushed the needle a little more at an angle and it flowed in. but its color was far from red. it was in fact 'black'! i told her, 'why is my blood black today? it has never looked like this before. she smile and said your HB (hemoglobin) must be very good. surprise surprise. alright so i thought imight be dying today, due to transparent watery blood. but it seems not just yet. will be going back for post food 'sugar' test at 11am.
