The start !!!!

Hmmm............

I won't forget that date 26th May 2008, as I had been detected positive for Crohn's infection.
I almost went into a shock after knowing that I was infected by a disease that was treatable and not curable (i.e. Crohn's).

Actually I think that I was not to be blamed for the reaction given by me at that moment because What else could you expect from a 18 yrs. old teenage guy to react ?
I was mentally disturbed as well as physically not due to the illness but for the sheer fact that I won't be able to eat all the spicy and junk food that a normal teenager tends to eat.
Food being my second important thing in my disrupted life after Sleep.
I always loved food to the extreme. Normally ,people "Eat to live and survive but I lived to Eat".
To many people the above sentence makes no difference but to me it was a Life or Death situation.
I loved food to its core ,while eating i don't just open my mouth and gulp things down but I would take in the aroma ,let it fill in my taste buds and then have a bite of that godly food just as a wine connoisseur tastes a glass of heavenly vintage wine.

The Pain

Worst part about the realization of this disease was the excruciating pain that I had to go through.
Each time I had to bear the excruciating pain as if somebody has put a 
Sectumsempra curse from the Harry Potter books.
I used the example of this curse not to make this post fancy but try to relate to the pain I was going through.
I was struggling to keep up with recurring pain attacks but was seriously disappointed by looking at each of my efforts of reducing my pain going in vain.
I know I was losing my hopes of getting better ever in my life. This hampered my academics so much as I was living away from my home in a hostel studying in computer science course (wanted to be a web / game developer).
I never went back to complete my course as I had a bad experience in my past.
I didn't complete my course and lost a couple of years without education, though I had some practical experience with many other industries that I will discuss with you later.
But after losing 5 years I have started learning the basic programming languages once again by downloading ebooks from the net.
It is hard starting to learn where I stopped but not impossible though, I personally feel that I could have done a wonderful thing if I have had completed my course in one go.
But atleast I can now finish what I started.
