My hemophobia – Some ‘Blood’y Tales

I was taking a nap on a lazy Saturda afternoon.Mummyyyyyyyyyy ahhhhhhhh….my nephew’s howling woke me up. First I ignored it, coz I thought it will be a usual stuff, like fighting with his younger brother or something like that. But I was shocked to see him in a pool of blood. We didn’t understand what happened for a moment, what we have seen is a big wound on his fore head. The boy was scared badly and I was trying to console him and trying to keep him cool, by holding his head with a thick piece of cotton. My bother and we rushed to nearest hospital to dress his wound up .Once I reach hospital and they moved his to dressing room, I started feeling uneasy. I felt like I’m gonna faint or vomiting. In fact after cleaning it up, it wasn’t a big wound. But the sight and smell of blood made me sick. Actually I was sweating badly  in the AC room.

While i was waiting in reception room, I recalled my medical test during my college admission. I have a problem with blood. Yeahh Hemophobia, like the very sight of the blood of another person or an animal, and sometimes printed or filmed images of blood or even thoughts of blood make me dreaded. As I was standing in a queue for my blood test, I was telling this to my friend who were standing next to me. That genius nodded his head with a sweet smile and showed me a tube and asked me, is you scared of this also. (It was like blood was rising in a long tube like mercury from a guy’s vain). After giving a look to that I don’t know what happened to me .when I woke up, I was in air and some persons were carrying me. (I asked myself isn’t the way they take blood test in Coimbatore (buying lifting the patient up in the air) coz I didn’t know I was fainted that time).Anyways that incident gave me lot of publicity J .Being a first year student I didn’t have to introduce myself to many of batch mates coz before I start, they will tell with a smile “I know you……”.The best part is after three years when my roommate introduced me to this cute girl from his class, she was telling me like ,”hey I know you ,you were the one who fainted during medical test……..”.That time only I understood the publicity I have got.

These are the very few among lot of incidents. I know I’m not the only person suffering from this problem But I want a solution for this. Come-on, my friends or closer one want me during some emergency, I can’t turn my face and run away. Someone please help me to get away from this problem.Seriously, I’m fed up

Ahhhhhhh its summer again……..

                       After one week easter holiday,I’m back in chennai.had very gud rain in kerala this time.I love rain and love to take bath in rain hehehe….The rain always bring nostalgic memories of school days….like school reopen, wet uniforms,paper boats,special snacks prepared by mom etc.Anyways this time the climate was simply awesome in hometown.
                         Here in chennai things are exactly opposite.I hate summer,wish thought out the year itz rainy or winter season .Chennai is getting very hot now a days(and dusty).Even before khatri the temperature is almost 37-38 degree degree, don’t know how it will be on may!!!!…It is very hard to take even a five minute walk between 11AM to 4PM now a days.(This is the peak time for auto drivers,now a days they are charging two times of normal fare).Apart from summer heat,rising level of pollution and dust is unbearable
          I surfed in net for some tips to beat the heat and summer fatigue.Here i’m sharing the some of the common tips i found in many articles.
1.Drink plenty of plain water and fluids,avoid ice water(It works for me).If you have clay pot,keep the water in clay pot.Take citric juices also(lemon ,sweet lime,orange)
2.Avoid direct exposure to the sunlight.Wear loose fitting cotton clothes.Avoid wearing dark clothes which absorb heat.it is a good idea to shade yourself by wearing a cap or carrying a umbrella
3.Eat lot of fruits and vegetables.Limit the consumption of fries and non veg
4.Splash water at your face and neck often.it will make you fresh.Take bath at least twice a day.Use a good anti perspiration lotion(Deodorant) which save you from excessive perspiration.
5.Get a gud sunscreen lotion.It is a very good investment in summer ,which help you to play cricket ,badminton, go for a walk and shopping comfortably in outdoors without worrying about sunburn.By Indian standards go for sunscreen with SPF-30
Finally be cool always,avoid stress ,listen to some gud music …….
