I started the day with a cup of warm water, some deep breathing and stretching exercises, went huff-puff over the stairs, listened to a loud song from some singer and waited for the good results to pour in. Femina (I told u times are bad) promised me wonders. Unused to all this and maybe having done it in the wrong order, by the time the black woman sang her song, I was dizzy. The warm water and stairs when taken to suddenly, one fine day, coupled with attempts to breathe deeply leaves u feeling slightly deranged and then subjecting yourself to loud music isn’t too much of a good idea. I wish I had stopped there, instead I went on all fours (they said ‘cat position’), stretched, craned my neck backwards and did something to my spine which definitely didn’t sound good, tried to relax and then repeat the procedure (10-15 times). I am now bedridden. Almost.
