I have insectophobia. I hate them. In the past 3 months it has never been that my face has not been without an insect bite. Now , without all the marks of their bites remaining, my friends have forgotten how I looked earlier. Even I don't remember , rather I don't acknowledge any change.
They do not bite me below the waist. Never. But have a certain liking to pee their acids on my face , specially my eyelids. They know it will hurt me most over there. They even bit me once , on my eyelid, just above the eye. It was the most horrific. It has been always when I have been asleep.
I have found a solution. I do not sleep at night , lest they bite me again. I sleep during the day. I see the sun rise everyday. Only then do I sleep. The side-effects, I know , will be catastrophic....but at least my face would be safe.
I went to my professor asking to go home. I have already exhausted my leave. My reason was simple. I showed her my face. 3 months....and she knows that.
She didn't allow me. She did not stand up to her reputation of being a house-wife. I will curse her for this all her life ... probably beyond that as well. She cannot feel my fear for insects. Well may be the pigmentation loss around my eye did not allow her to see the truth in them. Anyways, she will be cursed.
I went to a doctor yesterday. Asked him for reasons. He said it was an unproven fact that insects will bite me whenever they get a chance. He blamed the statistics. At least now I don't have any moral obligation towards myself.

The Tilak
I went to Prayag yesterday. Sangam. After staying in Allahabad for 2 years. Basically the motive was to go for boating.
One of my friends started to wash his sins. I did it too. Everyone else was doing it. Sometimes its better to join the crowd.
Then we went to the Hanuman Temple, which is quite famous as folk has it that the Ganga comes inside the temple to wash His feet. It was the second time in 2 years that I had gone to a temple.My friend's first.I put the orange tilak on my forehead.
We bought Masterstroke, Bacardi and Romanov. Had bought for five of us, was consumed between 3. I had left drinking, the excuse was to get totally drunk. It was the last time.
A peg, 2. Quarter. Half. another.
It sure was memorable , though nothing is clear in my mind.
The only thing that i remember is me staring at my face and the orange tilak on it.

Orkut v/s Facebook
Orkut seemed lame a month ago.
Suddenly orkut has applications .
And not only that , it has themes and games.Thats all that i could discover without an orkut account. The reason i deleted mine was because it seemed lame to have exactly 1015 scraps for 2 months...not even forwards increased the count.
I switched to facebook which was considered a much sacred domain than orkut.
But orkut , suddenly seems interesting. I have seen people play teen patti, and play and play.
Plus change the themes in their homepage.
Suddenly, orkut doesnt seem lame.
And although initially it seemed that all the applications-thing was copied from facebook and myspace , it doesnt seem so anymore.
It seems to be more of innovation now.
Orkut has come back with a bang.
And now i repent deleting my profile. The 1015 could have continued a few more months.
