19 Aug 2006Friday has always been a bad day for me, no matter what I try it turns out to be a devastating one. There are many accounts that I can say that Friday its like a “Fry Day” for me. Ok not boring you more further let me tell you about this Friday the 18th of this month.
I get up in the morning little late (could not sleep well last night bcos of pain) and start my routine day by checking out the news and also check out the webstats of our New Vrindaban community website etc. I was shocked to see that some one had played dirty prank and mesed the site and placed information that the site has been hacked. I tried to figureout what was the matter and found that the guy had actually deleted the main index files of the website including the index files of gallery and forum etc. Also much more data was deleted but fortunately I had some backup on my local machine which I managed to put up the site running later.
Coming back to my office I had to fax some legal documents and also had to make few calls to USCIS and then got back on restoring the site. I managed to resotre partial content but the one with mysql database was completely messed up and could nto manage to do anything about it. I was doing research on the google how to restore the 4images gallery etc. but didnt find any luck. Later in the evening my host was supposed to restore the data for me to 17 Aug but they couldnt manage to do that as they only had 24hr backup and the site was already re written by this hackers. Thus I had to manually restore some data. Later after few hours I checked back the site I was shock to know that the site’s index files were again replaced with the hacked message. So frustrating !
Now coming back on the bad part of the day….I was not keeping well since 2 days as the incision area where I was operated for hernia was giving some pain. I tried to take different pain medication but later had to take shelter of OVMC hospital.
Experience at the hospital Emergency Room was very unusual, first I was taken in quickly as if i was going to die but later I was left there to actually die for almost 2 hours. Finally there was a guy who came to do IV to draw blood and to inject medicine, tried on my right palm but could not get any blood pressure and thus he insisted on doing it on arm which didnt work too. Later he looked more worried as he was goin on poking the needle all over my hand and he was not getting any proper veins to draw blood. Finally he succeeded on left hand, sucked out 3 small syringe of blood and flushed the veins by some saline water. Oh God ! I was in lot of pain by then, but they had to go through all the procedures. Later a lady came and injected 2 syringe of medicine which was supposed to drain my pain. But that didnt work and i had to literally beg and cry to them that I need some more medicine. After my request some one came and shot 2 syringe Dilaudid and I was in the heaven. I was taken for CAT scan, while entering the area the lady incharge there recognised me and said “Hey how is your stones doing?” I was shocked and asked her if she remembered me to which she replied ” Offcourse I do, how can I forget you? You came here in pain before and i was the one who had done CAT scan for you” The lady and her staff were very courteaus.
Later I came back to the sick room and was lying down watching a CNN’s LARRY KING LIVE and 360 pr Mr. Cooper story on tv. I asked the ER staff if I could use the phone to which they promptly provided me a sleek cordless phone to make a call to my friend Dayananda who was supposed to pick me back. I was trying to sleep till my reports and Dayananda arrived but was not comfortable at all. Soon Dayananda arrived and we started to chat for a while and then I saw that Mr. Doctor who was looking at my case arrived with bunch of papers in his hand. I was told that I am all fit and fine except for he could see some small hernia signs but nothing to worry and advised me to go back to the Dr. Peterson for a routine checkup. I was discharged finally around 3 am.
So we decided to leave the hospital premises in Dayananda’s car. Dayananda went to get his car and asked me to wait at the ER entrance. I was high in the sky at that time as I was shot Delaudid again so that I dont experience pain till I go to sleep. I didnt see Dayananda coming so I decided to go near his car and was surprised to know that his car was not starting. I said to my self that this friday is really a bad day and car not starting at this hour is a another major trouble to our problem. We tried to call Sham who is a mechanic and tried to take tips from him also trid to take help of the hospital security personal to start the car but nothing worked. Finally Dayananda realised that the trouble was with the starter of the car and managed to fix it. Soon before we left the place I had a serious urge to vomit and ran towards the gutter lid which was right to the car and started to vomit. After few minutes, I was completely flat on the ground, got up, washed my face and we started the journey to temple. On the way again similar urge to vomit came and I asked Dayananda to stop the car, and managed to open the door of the car and there you go….yaaaaak, started vomiting again. Later I cleaned myself and we left that place and before we stopped the car i vomited again. I went to my room and fell on my bed till I opened by eyes and realised that its 12 pm next day.
Now I realise that actually I was food poisoned today and that pain was not the main issue. Sometimes when things start going bad, everything goes bad in a line and such was this Friday for me…that why I prayed to the Lord Sri Krishna this morning and said ” Thank God, its not Friday!”

I think jaish-e-mohammad is responsible for your food poisoning. Generally whenever something goes wrong we should blame laskhar-e-toiba or jaish or pakistan. :-p
