I could eat 750 idlis and 5 buckets of payasam, but 5kg of bananas...that's just obscene.

How could I almost forget this one?
7. Epilepsy - from the strobe-like flashing that occurs whenever I turn on a flourescent light.

Dieseases I Will Likely Contract in India

1. Diabetes - From eating all that ladoo (what I have termed "the 'betes bomb")

2. Conjunctivitis - But I am assured that I will be safe as long as I rinse my eyes with my own urine (Thanks for the advice Cat).

3. Classmates Disease - also known as "ende kalbelayitis" and characterized by a spontaneous rupture of the ear drum.

4. Any number of diseases of the bowels

5. Rabies - Just because that is the one shot I didn't get before I came here.

6. Hot Dog Fingers - That's an inside joke that nobody will get but me...I'm such a loner.

***Special Note - Mom, this is just a joke. I am completely healthy and in no danger. No need for concern.
