Not the jetlag, that I was somehow able to beat. But the post-India illness. You end up eating so much there that it results in cold and cough and if you are unlucky, fever and body ache either there itself or just as you land here.

This time I tried to undereat just to avoid it, and I thought I did, because when I landed I was fine. But just the second day after coming back, I was down with flu-like symptoms.

Luckily, I carry the herbal medicines with me on my project, and they work so nicely for me. I was able to somehow pull myself through to Friday and had the weekend to relax and rest up.

I did just that, and was ok on Sunday afternoon when we had some guests over for lunch.

Will have to try something new next time I go there.
