The Caffeine Story (Dec 2020)
Index of Journals
Am a horrible storyteller. Before I went to Toastmasters and before I actually sat down to write stories like this one, I had always thought that I would do great in public speaking. I was wrong. At Toastmasters, I learnt that a good speech always consists of three parts. The beginning. The body. The conclusion or ending, you might say. It wasn't just the Toastmasters that conveyed this structure for a story to me, I remember visiting a Psychologist and what Anupama (the Psychologist) asked me to do was write three stories based on some images she showed to me. The activity was part of the Thematic Apperception Test. I do want to present to you my dear reader a story, not facts and figures, and not off the topic moaning and crying but somehow most of the posts are like that only. My first high Caffeine dose episode was in 2008 when I was preparing for IIT-JEE. At that time to stay awake at night, I used to take a glass of tea instead of a glass of milk. My glass of milk would be on my table by 10 PM or so, and from that I would prepare my tea around 12 to pull up studies for till 3 (midnight) or 4 in the morning. The second might have been in college during exams but I would not bring them up here as those days have already been written about in great detail. The third episode was when I was doing MTech while working for Mobileum. A couple of nights such as the ones I had spent dozing on caffeine while preparing for Distributed Computing. I had to go through all the DC videos before that exam and the exam was supposed to happen on the weekend so I stayed at work in the video conferencing room outside of the secured area and watched the DC videos. The way I was dozing on caffeine was that I had either tea, crushed bean latte, or coke and I would have to take a sip everytime that I would yawn in between studying. I went home around 4 AM and could not sleep, I got back to the office around 8 AM and researched about caffeine overdose and ate bananas 'after reading from the internet'. By 2:30 PM, I was back at home due to headache and sleep. The fourth episode and also the last one was in 2019 and 2020. Before the 2020 lockdown, I remember there were days at work when I was roughly (on the lesser side) drinking 8 cups of latte in a day. During the 2020 lockdown, after August, I was making tea from milk alone and it tastes very good and silky. But I ended up being diagnosed with Anxiety and Panic formally by a psychiatrist by December 2020. So yes, caffeine is not good for health and it is addictive and it is America's number one drug.

This includes painful menstrual periods, migraines, and rheumatoid arthritis. It may also be used to close a patent ductus arteriosus in a premature baby. It can be used by mouth or intravenously. It typically begins working within an hour. Common side effects include heartburn and a rash. Compared to other NSAIDs, it may have other side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding. It increases the risk of heart failure, kidney failure, and liver failure. At low doses, it does not appear to increase the risk of heart attack; however, at higher doses it may. Ibuprofen can also worsen asthma. While it is unclear whether it is safe in early pregnancy, it appears to be harmful in later pregnancy and therefore is not recommended. Like other NSAIDs, it works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins by decreasing the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). Ibuprofen is a weaker anti-inflammatory agent than other NSAIDs. Ibuprofen was discovered in 1961 by Stewart Adams and John Nicholson while working at Boots UK Limited and initially marketed as Brufen. It is available under a number of trade names, including Nurofen, Advil and Motrin. It was first marketed in 1969 in the United Kingdom and in 1974 in the United States. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. It is available as a generic medication. In 2018, it was the 28th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 24 million prescriptions. Ref: Wikipedia / 20210710

2013 January 9 (Rape and Tricolor painted on every bench)
Index of Journals
9-Jan-2013
Morning 0800: I was at Yash's house. I thought I needed to talk to someone who can help me with my problem that is more like mental. I told him to call me if he is able to contact Asha Menon to talk to me. I told him to use my landline number, as I was not going to open my phone now until I don't have a damn need of it, only after college reopens.
- Religious songs playing as I was sitting in the bathroom and not doing anything, great.
- Gurarchi's phone was off at night and in the morning too, okay, I hope that the number stops existing.
Then around 2100: I was at Appu’s door. I thought I should ask him if his father can help me with the fact that I need some space to study and his father owns a flat in C-block that is like a guest house for special people coming for treatment in his hospital.
- I had come back from walk on peripheral rounds and as I enter the floor zero of B1 block from Raju's area, I see [Look Alike] of the Dhruv’s dead grandfather. Trying to climb the stairs nearer to the flat number '2', which was brutal.
- Ashwin’s father (Jains) looking at me like I have been r*ped or something. I was not feeling a thing after having spent the day sitting around or with Srishti, Prachi etc or then sleeping after breakfast. I need to feel like home here. Also the situations look favorable.
1352 - 1500: I was outside to spend some time on the swings with Anushka
Diwij Munjal had went up before when I was leaving the B1 block, and he did handshake when he was coming down again when I was entering building again.
Tri-color painted horizontally on the back-rest of every bench in the central park. I came over here on one on which Anushka and her intelligent friend was sitting.
Surveillance: Following, bird watching, eye balling : it is all still on, good that I never had a direct reception.
I AM NOT GOING TO EXPAND. I AM RATHER GOING TO BE SITTING MY A** IN THE BED AND TRY TO BE LIKE STEPHEN HAWKING OR ALBERT EINTSTEIN THAN BE OUT THERE AND GIVING WAY TO ANY OF THE FAGGOTS I WILL SEE IN THE TIME TO COME UNTIL I DONT FEEL SITUATIONS ARE LIKE NORMAL. NO EXPANSION, AT ALL.
THIS WAS ALL AND EVERYTHING A BULLS**T DRAMA AROUND ME OF PUTTING UP PEOPLE WHOM I THOUGHT WERE GOING TO HELP. THEY WANTED ME TO BE RUNNING AROUND AND AFTER THEM, KNOCKING ON THEIR DOORS AND LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT, AND THEN SIT BACK AFTER THEY SIMPLY DISCARD ME AFTER LISTENING TO ME. WOW, WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING.

Dr Shashi Sethi and Angela Chandel (Nov 2020)
Index of Journals
Let's go to the time of Diwali 2020.
Saturday, 14 November, 2020
Midnight of a day or two before Diwali, my psychologist was going to pass away from heart attack.
At first moment, I didn't even bother except for the rush of the hormones in the body that accompany when you hear about loss of someone whom you knew personally.
To this day, I seem to be holding grudge against her for what she had said to me near the end of first meeting.
"We can fix you", she had said.
At that moment, I wanted to tell her what Charles Xavier had told adolescent Jean Grey that there is nothing to fix as am not broken.
She was single handedly managing the Issh Guidance and Counseling center.
30-40 interns (mostly young women, undergraduates).
Two other staff:
Anupama Gambhir, 7 years of experience then. [But does not speak English fluently]
And Angela Chandel, 2-3 years of experience.
Roughly three days after Dr Shashi passed away, there was an online (due to Covid-19) and public grievance (obituary) ceremony for her.
Angela forwarded me the invite for that on an afternoon when I was at work with Anil Dahiya.
Angela's life was going to take an unprecedented turn.
I thought I would support her by taking help from her as she had written in one of the texts:
Please let us know if you need further help.
I took one session from her. Telephonic. An hour long at a not so good negotiated price.
Network problems didn't also allow us to have video call. We didn't even try it, she was in Himachal, Kasaul and network coverage was poor in her area she said.
What hurt me was that she was difficult person to approach if this is not about counseling.
It would be wrong to say that the first session I had with her was futile. She taught me things, cleared my doubts and gave me a direction with which I was going to lead my life that time onwards.
