Gone Behosh


About 8 months back, I fell down unconscious a couple of hours after donating blood, and skipping lunch thereafter. I thought the banana, the apple and the muffin along with coffee, that were given to me after the donation would suffice for lunch, but I was wrong.

It was an interesting experience nonetheless. I was in the men's room when everything went dark and I fell. The last thing I remember of what happened before I was lost, is that my head hit against the wall. My eyes opened again about 5 minutes later. Not sure of this duration, coz I didn't check times before and after. Was too confused over whatever was happening, coz my alerness, mental state, brain responsiveness were far from their best.

I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. Realized in a few seconds that I was down in the toilet. Started wondering for a while as to how I could fall asleep on the floor of such a place. Then tried to recall what had happened, felt a slight pain at the back of my head, and I got scared with the realization that I had fallen unconscious. I immediately got up, though with difficulty. My vision was still blurred. I walked to my room about 30 metres away. Immediately called up Fauji Dhaba and ordered 2 Aaloo Parathas and continued with the movie I had been watching before I went to the toilet - Kungfu Panda (a great movie, I do remember quite a bit of it). I was feeling incredibly great at having had such an experience. I then went ahead and broadcasted through my instant messenger status that I had gone behosh, claimed after some time of having had a Near Death Experience, just to gain some publicity and sympathy. But the world was too busy to show sympathy of any kind :-(. I also went on and got busy doing something.
