NEWS OF THE WORLD
OK, thanks for all the good wishes and queries about my health.
Just got back last night after a frenetic three days in Madras, which of course meant that I had to endure two flights against medical advice.
The scalpel-wielder has given his verdict, which is that I require surgery followed by seven days of rest. At any time of my choosing, but sooner rather than later. Incessant pre-operation protocols too—so some suffering involved.
Remember thinking of two things as the doc spoke—that for all my brouhaha, I have never really gone under the knife so far, or even been hospitalized.
In all my working days, I have taken a grand total of four days annual leave. And now I need seven !!

Gham aur khushi mein farq na mahsoos ho jahan
Main dil ko us muqaam pe laata chala gaya
