The Fever Saga!

Fever!
103.6 down to 102.9 so no real blogging for a while. This is the nth time I got fever this year but this one is the worst by far. Update (17/09/2008)- Thanks a lot for your wishes, my temperature is now a little lower than Radio Mirchi! Maybe I will write a new post tomorrow.

Feels Like Long Time No Travel!
China Peak, Nainital, Uttrakhand Sesha refuses to budge for a short weekend trip.
