Heeseung a-z nsfw !
Heeseung A-Z nsfw
Tumblr media
A/N :: Hope you it was worth the wait, have a good day! 🤍
.
♡ A (Aftercare) ⇸ What they're like after sex
Heeseung is a very thoughtful and caring person, no doubt he considers after care very important. But he also gets really shy after sex, which makes him even more cuter. He usually likes to take a hot bath, watch a movie and cuddle under the blanket, in the order or individually. He prefers to stay home and doesn't really like to go out after sex. He wants a peaceful or cheerful atmosphere, fighting, tickling in the bed.
.
♡ B (Body part) ⇸ Their favorite body part on them and also their partner's
His favorite part of your body is your lips and your thighs because he loves to kiss them and they squishy. On him, his favorite part is his thighs as well because he loves when you ride them and his hair because he thinks they make him look hotter and he likes when you pull them when he goes down on you.
.
♡ C (Cum) ⇸ Anything to do with cum basically...
Heeseung is pretty clean when it comes to sex, he usually cums on your belly or in your mouth because it's pretty easy to clean up.
.
♡  D (Dirty secrets) ⇸ A dirty secrets of theirs
He wants to have a threesome with another girl but he's scared to talk about it with you because he doesn't want you to believe that you're not enough for him or that he wants to fuck another girl. He wants to do it to feel dominant, superior and worshipped like a king or a god. He'd like to control you and the other girl so he can just lay down and let you ride him and suck until cums multiple times.
.
♡ E (Experience) ⇸ How experienced are they? Do they know what they are doing?
He did have a few experiences but not to much. He only had one or two girlfriends before you but hooking up with random girls is not really his thing. Surprisingly, he knows what he's doing even tho he didn't have a lot of experience before you. He's still learning with you and testing new things out.
.
♡ F (Favorite positions) ⇸ This goes without saying
His all time favorite position is the Cowgirl, he also like the Reverse cowgirl of course. He thinks you look super hot when you're on top plus this is a comfortable position. He likes to when you're on top even if that's him who guide you and help keep the rhythm. Also, a good doggy style and 69 are always very appreciated during sex.
.
♡ G (Goofy) ⇸ Are they more serious in the moment? Are they humorous?...
It depends on the mood of course. He's not too serious but not vert goofy at the same time so yes he'll giggle if something funny happens or idk. But he thinks that's weird to laugh your ass off or make jokes during sex.
.
♡ H (Hair) ⇸ Basically what's going on down there and their preference on their partner
On you, he prefers totally bare or with not a lot of hair, he thinks it looks cleaner and is a bit uncomfortable to go down on you if it's very hairy, he doesn't like it. On him, he also wax it and keep it bare or very short for the same reasons.
.
♡ I (Intimacy) ⇸ All the romantic/intimacy aspect
He prefers to keep sex between the two of you, he doesn't want people to know what's going on under the blanket especially the members, friends and colleagues. He would be really uncomfortable if they see you tease eachother, flirt, sext or anything sex-related. With strangers he doesn't care as much. And during sex he's very romantic and sweet, he really want to create a sensual atmosphere.
.
♡ J (Jack off) ⇸ Mastubation headcanon
He does jerk off often, I think it's because he's horny pretty regularly but doesn't want to tell you because he doesn't want you to think he's weird or that he's using you just for that. He usually hides and does it alone without you knowing. Sometimes you do masturbate together, before penetration or just like that.
.
♡ K (Kinks) ⇸ One or more of their kinks
I'm 100% sure he has a size kink and breeding kink. He's pretty tall so he'd love a short s/o to protect them or dominate them. He loves lingerie you can't tell me otherwise, he definitely buys you cute sets for Valentines day so you can test it out the same night.
.
♡ L (Location) ⇸ Favorite places to have sex
Heeseung definitely prefers having sex at home but he's not against quickies here and there. As I said, not when there are friends or family around. He loves having sex in the car, on the couch or while taking a bath or a shower.
.
♡ M (Motivation) ⇸ What turns them on, gets them going
He's turned on by sexting, kinky messages or when you whisper dirty things into his ear. He also loves when you only wear panties and a shirt when you're at his/your house. When you pass your hand under his shirt when you kiss him or when you sit on his lap for a makeout session. All these innocent-not-so-innocent kind of things.
.
♡ N (No) ⇸ Somethings they wouldn't do, turns off
He wouldn't hurt you of course, he doesn't like when other men are involved he just wants you for himself. He likes simple things, Heeseung is not into all the role play, bondage, hard-core things. Of course, he's turned off by anything  with fluids.
.
♡ O (Oral) ⇸ Preference on giving or receiving, skills...
He's the type to prefer penetration over oral. He will still go down on you sometimes but most of the time you have to ask for it, otherwise you will have to wait until the desire is really strong or if he spontaneously wants to pleasure you. He prefers receiving but he wouldn't ask, he'll let you give him a head if you want to.
.
♡ P (Pace) ⇸ Are they rough and fast? Slow and sensual?
Heeseung does a little bit of everything, he bases himself on your reaction and what you ask. He usually starts off slow and finish rough and fast. He's very careful of listening to your demands, your facial expressions and your body language.
.
♡ Q (Quickies) ⇸ Their opinion on quickies, how often...
He likes quickies, it's easy and since he doesn't have a lot of time because of his job. Of course it's not like a good sex with all the foreplay and everything but it's still a good option.
.
♡ R (Risk) ⇸ Do they like to take risk? How?
As I said, he doesn't mind taking risk but only when there is no friends or family around, he doesn't want to make anyone uncomfortable because of your intimate life. He's down for fucking you anywhere when you two are alone.
.
♡ S (Stamina) ⇸ How many rounds? How long do they last?...
He has a good stamina, he can go for multiple rounds if he feels like it. Most of the times, he goes between one and three rounds. He's healthy and fit so it's not hard for him to fuck you for a long time, it also depends on you.
.
♡ T (Toy) ⇸ Do they own toy? Do they use them on them or on their partner?
He doesn't own toys for him, maybe he has a vibrator for you but that's it. Like he won't buy toys but you have some or you want some he'll definitely use them.
.
♡ U (Unfair) ⇸ How much they like to tease?
He can be pretty unfair when he wants to piss you off. He won't let you touch him even if you're super horny to see your limits, he'll let the desire grow harder, so in bed you'll be a needy little slut.
.
♡ V ( Volume) ⇸ How loud are they? What sound they make?
Honestly Heeseung is pretty loud in bed, he's not scared to show that you please him, he wants you to know that you're doing a good job. He tends to moan a lot, he thinks being too silent makes it embarrassing.
.
♡ W (Wild card) ⇸ Random headcanon
"I said stop teasing and fuck me already." He whimpered again. "You need to speak louder I can’t hear you" you said drawing patterns on his abs. "Can you please fuck me already y/n" he said loud and clear, he was clearly trying to be silent so the person in toilet next to you wouldn't hear. You laughed pulling down his underwear letting his erection jump free. Heeseung looked at you biting his lips you pulled him closer feeling his tip brush against your belly. You kissed him letting your hands roam over his body. He groaned again and grabbed one of your leg to put his member inside of you. Giving his member a few pumps you drove Heeseung crazy. "Please" he hissed and you pulled yourself onto his erection. He filled you up and Heeseung moaned again. You pulled him into a kiss to shut him up just before hearing people coming in.
.
♡ X (X-rays) ⇸ What's going on in those pants?
He's pretty average in terms of length. He's a bit wider than average tho.
.
♡ Y (Yearning) ⇸ How high is their sex drive?
The good average as well here. He's not a sex addict but he still wants to fuck his beautiful partner. I would say maybe between 3 and 6 times a week (?)
.
♡ Z (Zzzz) ⇸ Do they fall asleep afterwards? How quickly?
After sex he's either exausted and is very lazy or super excited and wants to go out, there is no in between. After cleaning everything it depends on his mood and on yours, he always likes to do something after and not directly go to bed.

2021 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross BS6 Review: The Gentle Giant
2021 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross BS6 Review: The Gentle Giant
Tumblr media
What happens when you leave boys alone with something like the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross. Well! Most certainly your mother is not going to be happy about what all’s happening behind her back. And today I am sure my mother is going to cross her threshold of patience, after reading this very review. So, I thought it would be a good idea to apologise to her in advance! One just can’t help it with the V-Cross. After all, it belongs in the wild, doesn’t it? 
Also Read: 2021 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross: All You Need To Know
Off-Road
Tumblr media
The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross is phenomenal at off-roading, so much so that you won’t step back before throwing anything at it.
Yes! It’s off the road where the V-Cross is in its element, so much so that you won’t step back before throwing anything at it. Even I didn’t. The location we were headed to offers long highway stretches, twisties, sharp corners and dips in the Arawali range on the way, leading to this hard-core, natural off-road terrain, just the perfect course for the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross. And with us is the six-speed manual iteration mated to the new 1.9-litre BS6 engine, which we haven’t tested before.
Tumblr media
Be it in 4H or 4L you just don’t worry about the momentum, there’s always enough of it.
This thing just glides over anything and everything. Be it in 4H or 4L you just don’t worry about the momentum, there’s enough of it. In 4L and it holds the revs nice and tight at 2,000 rpm giving you enough push, and I don’t really worry about the approach and departure angle because it goes over everything without breaking a sweat. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the mid-angle because it has got a big wheelbase, so that is something you have to look out for. But then, the SUV gets underbody protection, so it isn’t much of a hassle there.
Tumblr media
Off-roading ability is phenomenal and if you plan to do it often, just pick this manual V-Cross.
Yes! It’s a cakewalk for the V-Cross on the rough. Off-roading ability is phenomenal and if you plan to do it often, just pick this manual over the range-topping automatic that we drove back in 2019. Don’t get me wrong, even the Automatic variant is no less of a hero, just that you feel more in command when driving the manual variant.
Tumblr media
It can nearly go swimming with a water wading capability of over 500 mm and so we didn’t mind being a water child.
Even on our way here, 4H served pretty well on inclines, dips, slush, sand or whatever came under it. Nothing seems challenging. If anything, it sort of overwhelms you, going beyond your expectations and that’s quite reassuring. It’s like those solid woodland boots. Looks tough and stylish, and you barely feel the surface. Then, it can nearly go swimming with a water wading capability of over 500 mm and so we didn’t mind being a water child and having our share of fun splashing around.
Performance & Dynamics
Tumblr media
The 1.9-litre, four-cylinder BS6 diesel mill mated to this six-speed manual transmission and we quite like how it delivers.
2021 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross BS6

Transfer Case

Now manual coupled with this robust shift-on-fly four-wheel-drive system is more promising in even highway munching as it is off the road! The 1.9-litre, four-cylinder BS6 diesel mill mated to this six-speed manual transmission, belts out a healthy 160 bhp at 3,500 rpm and 360 Nm of peak torque accessible right from 2,000 rpm. And we quite like how it delivers.
Tumblr media
The new V-Cross with this new 1.9-litre oil burner is more promising in even highway munching as it is off the road.
The meaty low-end torque is accessed nice and low at around 2,000 rpm in first and second gears which are short and give you instant access to that torque. And then in following gears, third, fourth and so on, you can push it higher up the rev band at around 4,000 rpm which is its happy zone and that makes it an effortless cruiser. The mid-range is really good. The top-end though is a bit flat and getting up to higher triple-digit speeds will take some time. But then it’s the V-Cross and we don’t want to hustle around with. It prefers being driven in a relaxed manner and you build up on speed gradually.
Tumblr media
It feels more at ease than the 2.5-litre unit and you don’t need to work too much with the gears, very suitable for highway cruising.
In fact, this 1.9-litre oil burner feels more at ease than the 2.5-litre unit where getting momentum and instant low-end push was a constant struggle. Well! That engine has been axed down post BS6 regulations rollout. The best part here! You don’t need working with gears too much, again thanks to that low-end torque that allows you cruise in 4H or even 2H at lower speeds and higher gears. So even 40 kmph in top gear is feasible without much fuss, and you don’t really need to drop down speeds any further. Suspension brings it about for you.
Tumblr media
Leaf springs at the rear is an aid when that bed is fully loaded at up to 215 kg which is the prescribed limit.
And speaking of suspension, there is high ride independent double wishbone coil spring upfront, tall enough for ample articulation and play, while soft ride leaf spring at the rear doesn’t make ride bumpy or too floaty and the leaf spring is an aid when that bed is fully loaded at up to 215 kg which is the prescribed limit. Well! That is a boon, especially on the road.
Tumblr media
It’s proportions and weight is very evident behind the wheel.
It tips the scales at just less than 2 tonnes and stretches over 5.2 metres in length and all that mass and size is very evident behind the wheel. But that bulky SUV feel is what owners really want in something like this and still for the size it holds quite well around bends and corners and electronics do come to your advantage. You feel it even more with an unladen deck and a rear section that’s slide happy, even with a gentle shove on the pedal. The electronics do keep a check here.
Tumblr media
The steering feels a bit cumbersome at lower speeds, but gives required heft and feedback when pushing hard.
The steering feels cumbersome at lower speeds but will give you required heft and feedback when pushing hard and the nose stays in right direction. Even sharp curves are easily dealt and while you do keep a check on speed while cornering hard, it behaves well and doesn’t float much on the highway. You do miss the three-blink lane departure function on the switch though.
Tumblr media
Body rolls and lateral movements aren’t actually unnerving as the chassis is stable but passengers do feel it.
But then lateral movements even on small undulations and while changing lanes are inevitable, courtesy its tad soft sprung suspension. They actually aren’t unnerving as the chassis is stable but passengers do feel it. The ride quality though is plush and that slight soft edge in the suspension setup is helpful here. Even the sharpest of bumps don’t feel as sharp and it takes every terrain in its stride, simply gliding over those beaten tarmac, pebbly roads or potholes. The 18-inch wheels with adequately tall profile do add up as well.
Design
Tumblr media
The next-generation V-Cross looks more angular, but this still looks truly handsome.
But what hasn’t changed at all is the way it looks and that’s not exactly a bad thing. Well because we have always loved its daunting and intimidating demeanour. Agreed! The next-generation V-Cross looks more angular and it’s on sale globally, will eventually come to India and you’ll like that even more. But this! It looks truly handsome and while I am not a big fan of chrome, but healthy dose of it on its face goes pretty well with this body colour – Black Mica. And our test car gets this additional chrome package. So around headlights you have got chrome, also on wing mirrors and doors and even at the rear, around taillights and boot lid. And as said, it doesn’t look flashy at all looks quite good in fact.

Dimensions
Length
5,295 mm
Width
1,860 mm
Height

Wheelbase

Interior
Tumblr media
The lacklustre feel inside the cabin is very evident and it misses out heavily on creature comforts front.
That being said, where it most certainly should have got an upgrade is inside the cabin. All you get is a very functional 7.0-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity and stereo options. So no Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or even in-built navigation. Other things we sorely missed having were rear air-con vents, power adjustable seats, auto-dimming mirror and perhaps wee bit of soft-touch material at least at frequent touchpoints like centre and door armrests. Even leatherette seats and additional roof mounted speakers are available only on the top-end Z-Prestige Automatic variant. The manual with us is available only on the Z 4×4 trim, a lower variant.
Tumblr media
No rear air-con vents at the rear and backrest angle could have been improved, offers decent thigh support though.
So in here, all you get are six-speakers, power adjustable and foldable wing mirrors auto climate control and of course power windows but with just single touch down operation for driver side. Well it does get parking sensors now that the BS4 model didn’t have in addition to the reverse camera, and it’s quite handy while parking or reversing this mammoth of an SUV. But quite honestly! You have all of these even in a premium hatchback nowadays.
Something that needs shelling out close to 24 lakh rupees, has to be up on the feel good quotient and offer few more creature comforts.
Safety Features
Tumblr media
It gets six airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill Descent Control and Brake Override System among others.
On the safety side, you do get six airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill Descent Control and Brake Override System among others and they do support you as already mentioned. But disc brakes are there only on the front while you get standard drum at the rear. It would have been nice to have discs at all corners offering you a bit better bite, given its weight and size. Oh wow! That Rhymes.
Verdict
Tumblr media
This 1.9-litre BS6 engine has upped its credentials both off-road and on the highway compared to the previous 2.5-litre engine.
Well the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross is not for everyone but still, it is no surprise why it has such a cult following. And hundreds of queries for the BS6 version on its fan pages across social media platforms will tell you the same. Have to say that this 1.9-litre BS6 version has upped its credentials both off-road and on the highway compared to the previous 2.5-litre engine. It’s like the Hulk from ‘Avengers End Game’. Still does the job quite handsomely when the going gets tough, but now remains poised and maintains its composure. And then, it’s still around ₹ 10 lakh less expensive than the 4×4 Endeavour and Fortuner.
Tumblr media
It can be your second car for highway munching or to satisfy your adventurous or wanderer streak.

November 2015
At the Jindal Naturecare Institute
Landed to an overcast Bangalore. This was the effect from the hurricane that was wrecking havoc in Chennai and other parts of South India. It took me a while to look for the prepaid taxi counter. The listed charge was twice the regular fare plus I had to wait on the curb for 20 minutes. I called my father." I have reached safely".  My father has always been so over protective of me. I have been married 16 years but he still insisted I followed his advise in this new city. I made numerous short calls to him throughout my stay at Jindal just so he was assured I'm safe and comfortable there.  Little did he know all of his cautious planning will be rendered useless in a few days when someone will break into his secured ring with pure charm...I had strict instructions to take the pre paid cab only and tell them the license plate number on the phone before getting into the cab. Let's just say it made for one awkward phone call in front of the cab driver. No matter how softly I spoke, am sure the driver could hear. So the hour long journey in the cab, I went out of my way to appear friendly so as to undo the mistrust I had projected upfront. Upon reaching the institute, I took his cell number and told him that I'll call him for the return ride to the airport in two weeks. The ride was beautiful at least the first half. Beautiful palm trees lined up on both sides of the road and I loved the smell of moist soil and wet foliage --fresh after a downpour. Once into the city, it was the same old traffic, pollution, honking...
The taxi stopped at these tall metal gates. There was a very large water fountain in the red brick paved plaza that could be seen through the gates. Frankly, the first impression was neither pleasing not inviting. But I shoved away any concerns based on the looks of the place. I had heard only good things about this naturopathic centre and so was hopeful about it. Hopeful that my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) type ailment would be understood and cured through their therapies and their detox program.
I had been suffering from this illness for the past 20 years. But in the last 3.5 years I had been miserable. Due to the lack of any solid diagnosis it had been labeled as IBS. Except that the symptoms were daily and extremely debilitating. I had quit working on my phd. And was not employed either. Had been at home last few years, actually mostly on the bed. I had this constant struggle every morning after using the bathroom. My body would go into this shaking and weakness for hours. My stomach would flutter all day and pain at night. I was unable to get up from the bed a few months ago. Battery of tests, scans and doctors visits first in North America and then in India had revealed nothing. I had seen doctors in 3 countries for years. Then I tried acupuncture for 4 months and saw some improvement but still suffered from debilitating weakness and multiple food allergies, severe insomnia, falling hair, wrinkled skin and dark circles around my eyes......
I was carrying only one carry on suitcase. The guard from the gate picked it up and brought it to the lobby that was part of the admin block. The granite flooring and paneling on the walls evoked a bit of a resort feel but that feel didn't penetrate to the rest of the building. I checked in at the reception. The receptionist asked for my papers-- passport and the registration forms. She asked if I had any difficulties with the online registration process. I always have feedback so true to my nature I said yes. The North American influence I guess--there is always room for improvement and I’m used to seeing the continuous improvement feedback loop. She said she will connect me with the upper level management to discuss that further. Didn't think anything of this so said a indiscreet “ok, fine” to the receptionist. The nurse across from the receptionist took my height, weight and other vitals and asked a bunch of questions from a health questionnaire. By now I was tired of speaking about my symptoms/ illness. I had emailed my entire history going back 20 yrs with the test results and a summary to them 4 months ago. I expected them to have reviewed it before my arrival there. Having lived in North America, I have come to expect certain quality standards as a given. The reality of being in a health facility in India was about to hit me pretty quickly.
 After checking in, a golf cart took me for a tour of the sprawling campus. One edge of the campus was a huge lake with a water fountain that ran 24/7. Beyond the lake was the highway with heavy traffic that was responsible for occasional break in the otherwise serene campus. The driver pointed me different facilities: the attached hospital, the yoga hall, the swimming pool, the executive rooms, the treatment centres, campus stores for essentials and the dining hall. Oh, and there was a beauty parlor on campus too!   A paved plaza outside the dining hall had a tall clock tower on it. The area was a socialization space for patients to hang out before and after meals, especially in the evenings. A walking path connected all these buildings, the plaza and provided beautiful tracks and views for the recommended walks...
The golf cart driver dropped me at the dining hall. I wasn't really hungry having eaten some idlis on the plane. However, I did eat some rice, lentils and cabbage. It was spicy though. The dining hall was separated for executive, regular patients and deluxe room patients. The executive rooms cost a third of the deluxe rooms and the dining hall decor and layout seem to justify the difference in costs. I didn't think the food was any different though. The food was all grown on campus in the fields behind and cooked in the huge kitchen. The quality of food was closely monitored by nutritionists, who also kept an eye on the quantity and portion sizes the patients were self helping themselves to. The doctors specified the diet for the entire day and each patient was strictly supposed to follow the prescription.  The philosophy of the naturopathic treatment is that given the right diet and lifestyle, human body can heal itself. The institute touts itself in not only providing relief but also reversing some of the illness. Additionally, it also educates you to a way for maintaining good health.
I made friends with whoever sat at the dining table with me for each of the meals and so by the end of the 15 day stay I knew almost a third of the 300 odd patients on campus. The ice breaker usually was “how many days have you been here already?” We also talked about the diseases we are seeking treatment from, our home cities, the doctor they were seeing, the therapies and their general experience. They all had different ailments they were seeking treatment for ranging from obesity, high bp, diabetes to back pain, arthritis and digestive issues. To my surprise, a lot of them were regular patients at the institute visiting once a year. The setting, the lifestyle and diet all tied the patients together in the common goal of improving their respective health. The interaction among fellow patients was very helpful in coping with the challenges of being there by myself and not feeling so well! 
 A few steps from the reception was the general OPD. The look and smell of the hallway reminded me of the run down government hospitals. I took my token and waited on the bench outside Dr Sharath's room for my turn.   
The Institute had not sent any advance information on the therapies and interventions planned for me so I waited for my discussion w Dr Sharath in high anticipation. The reality of not being in North America hit again, and this time harder. Dr Sharath started reviewing the file in front of me and said he had not seen it prior to our meeting. His verdict disturbed me, to say the least--" your case is hard... But let's see what we can do". Hardly the words I wanted to hear. I had sent my husband and daughter back to North America while I came to Bangalore for this treatment. I know it would be really hard for them to manage everything on their own for two weeks but we decided as a family, it will be worthwhile if my visit to the institute could help me bring my chronic ailment under control.
The primary purpose of my visit was to treat my food intolerances-- gluten, dairy, nuts, sugar and all and any kind of fiber that was upsetting my intestinal tract. Dr Sharath put together a diet and treatment chart for the next couple days. The treatments included mud packs and some massages. He also advised to see the acupuncturist to chalk out the daily treatments with them. The diet chart included wheat bread in it. When I questioned he said-- "try it, we will see what happens". Needless to say, I was in pain the following morning. I went back to the OPD to see him but he was on leave. Spoke to another doctor that morning. Dr Swarajyalakshmi was very polite and caring but as I'll soon find out, she was equally casual and clueless about my symptoms and what was causing them.
Nov 20: Was going by the lobby after meeting Dr Swarajyalakshmi, as the receptionist stopped me. She asked if I had time to go meet Mr Murli in the higher management about the registration process. I was in my pain after eating gluten food the previous day so decided to go give him a piece of my mind-- my disappointment in the way my case was being handled. Two flights of steps took me to the upper floor where the management offices were looking located. I turned left from the upstairs lobby around the circular double height skylight overlooking the entrance downstairs. I went past the admissions office on the right. There were name signs sticking out over the office doors. Found Mr Murli’s office on the left a couple doors down. I walked to turn to enter the office when I noticed he wasn't there. I then Turned around to the office opposite his and saw a pair of eyes staring at me. The sign above the door read "Chief Operating Officer".
 Seated on a chair with a tall back, was PKM. I asked " I'm looking for Mr Murli". He extended his arm as to invite me to his office and take a seat. The table was all clean with a laptop and barely any loose papers. The rest of the horizontal surfaces were also sparse. Along the back wall were windows that overlooked a dead terrace. I remember thinking it could be such an interesting feature if landscaped with some plants. The windows behind him overlooked a terrace-- more or less a dead space. I said, “ the reception ppl wanted me to discuss any online registration issues with Mr Murli”. I mentioned my dissatisfaction with the intake process. I had sent nearly 50 pages of my health history and tests at registration but my file had not been studied until I reached there. He sat there and seemed to be listening patiently to my issues and complains, never really taking his eyes off of me. He was mostly quiet, well may be I didn't give him a chance to talk. I remember noticing how he almost seemed to be somewhat oddly stuck to that tall back of the chair. Then I described some of my health issues and requested him to connect me with the best doctors there. He assured me that he will follow up and gave me his business card with his mobile number. "Please call me anytime if you need anything", he said. I picked up my JNI jute bag and left his office feeling positive about the interaction and hopeful that things will work out.
 The day involved moving from one building to another on campus. The treatments were in treatment centers, Acupuncture and physiotherapy was in the main hospital located near the main entrance and yoga was in the yoga hall close to the lake. I walked across the campus throughout the day, ran into many of the same fellow patients in different buildings or at the diet center.
 The day usually started at 5am with the walk around campus. The day did not break until 5:30am. It used to be dark when I stepped out of the executive building where my room was located. Went to the yoga hall to do all the kriyas—the jal neti, eyes wash, gargles, ghee in nostrils followed by steam. All the kriyas were organized really well. The sequence was well planned. Stainless steel utensils were used for performing the kriyas. the sound of those utensils could be heard on the walkway outside. A strong but pleasant insense filled up the area outside the yoga hall. They was a constant flow of clean sterilized utensils into the hall while the used ones were taken away promptly. After finishing the kriyas, I would head to the open amphitheater facing the lake for yoga, meditation and laughing session.
 Because of my frail condition, sitting with criss-crossed legs for more than 10 minutes was very hard for me. They would go numb and I felt the need for a back rest as well. Else, I started feeling dizzy. The last step of the amphitheater was lined up with flat hard beds and some chairs for the elderly or frail patients like me. I made friends with several of the elderly patients there.
 Meanwhile, I continued with the jal kriyas but the yoga, even the pranayam breathing was also bothersome for me. I tried to sit through the yoga sessions for a few days but the dizziness kept bothering me. I quit by day 3 but continued going for the laughter and the meditation for the rest of my stay at JNI.
 The first meal of the day was coconut water at around 7.45am. No breakfast was served. And lunch started at 10.45 am. Now waking up at 5am and waiting for lunch was draining for me in the first couple days itself. I tried to convince the nutritionist at the diet center to tweek my food servings a bit but they strictly followed the diet chart. I ended up in a few arguments with them and then also tried explaining to both Dr Sharath and Dr Swarajyalakshmi. " That’s the naturopathic philosophy" I was told. Meanwhile, the prescribed diet was not only insufficient but also disagreeable with my system. By day 5, I had had enough. There were many sympathetic fellow patients who gave me moral support. I had lost a couple kilograms already. I was barely getting any sleep, felt dizzy throughout the day. My blood pressure was 80-60. I called my family and declared I was going to discontinue the treatment and come back asap. They advised to connect with COO and request for help. He had already moved me from Dr Sharath to Dr Swarajyalakshmi but it was worth trying, I thought. So I called him to give an update. He didn’t talk much on the phone but said he would meet me near the clock tower square in an hour. I went for a bath, washed my hair, changed in to my night pajamas. It was still a few minutes before my meeting, but I decided to go to the plaza and wait for him.
 I reached the clock tower and stood there looking at the mingling patients. Didn’t feel like interacting with anyone. This whole idea of coming to Jindal all by myself felt like a big mistake. It was around 9pm when I saw the COO coming down toward the tower. He was probably coming from the administrative block. He was a short lean person of wheatish complexion, had a distinct spring in his walk and also seemed to lean a bit on one side while walking. Recognizing him, I started walking toward him. With a lot of concern in his voice, he said “what happened to you, you don’t look ok.”  I told him that I feel miserable.
 He said, “lets sit somewhere and talk”. We found two seats on the plaza. There were still quite a few patients there and though it felt odd not being in an official setting to discuss this, I did not worry about it much. I described my awful experience at JNI so far and how I needed his help. “My daughter and husband are hoping I would benefit from my stay here at JNI and not go back sicker from here”, I said. He said he will try his best to help me. “I started at JNI only a few weeks ago but I will do my best”. He then asked me about my background and I shared my education and experience in the U.S. When I asked him about his family, he had tears in his eyes and said, “its just me and my daughter”. Sensing some awkwardness, I did not pursue that conversation. He got up and went for his final round of the campus for the night and I headed back to my room to sleep.
 The next day, I didn’t go to the morning routines, I was tired, sleep deprived and dizzy. Meanwhile, Dr Swarajyalakshmi called my room to check on me. She was clearly nervous. “The COO might have spoken with her”, I thought. She said she has asked the diet center to bring the food to my room. She made some more changes to my diet, added more rice and potatoes. I only went for my two treatments and acupuncture and stayed in my room the entire day. I enquired in the treatment rooms about the best doctor on campus. “Dr Babina”, I was told. She is the seniormost here, said the treatment worker.
 Day 5: My condition was not coming under control. My pains got worse, I was continuing to feel dizzy, had palpitations throughout the night and got only 2-3 hours of sleep every night. So decided to pursue PKM to connect me with the senior most doc on campus. He kept telling me he is working on it. I decided to walk to the green plaza myself. Dr Babina’s office was in the green plaza, not in the general opd. The Green Plaza catered to the patients in the nests, huts and deluxe rooms. Huge sliding glass doors at the entrance were automated. The lobby and the offices were airconditioned. I asked for Dr Babina at the reception. “She is on leave for the next two days”, I was told. What? But PK had told me he was working on it. I was pissed.  So I decided to go and sit outside the admin offices on the first floor until he connected me to Dr Babina. He was in a mtg but several of the staff members saw me sitting there and I guess passed him the msg. I must have sat there for an hour with crossed arms and stared at all staff going past the lobby. Finally, he came out of the mtg room and told me that dr Bharathi will see me. He arranged for a golf cart to take me to the DdR building to see dr Bharathi.
 DDR building was located at the extreme end of the property, secluded from everything else. It overlooked the lake on one side and a huge grove of palm trees on the other side. First, I met Dr Pradeep, the doc junior to Babina. I started crying while detailing out my ordeal. He said I should try with Dr Bharathi. Dr Bharathi sat across from Dr Pradeep. They both were located in the Deluxe rooms building. I realized they were exclusively serving the higher end clients and that’s why I had never seen them in the general OPD. Dr Bharthi was very assuring. She reviewed my file and said she can take over my case and sounded very confident. I said I don’t want to keep changing doctors so will try to continue with Swarajya Lakshmi.
 The next morning, I couldn’t find any strength to go for even the kriyas. At 10am I decided to go meet Dr Babina as she had come back from her vacation. After listening to my story and ongoing difficulties, she said, “it s ok if you want to leave. Just get Bharathi to sign off on your papers”.
 Even though, this is exactly what I wanted to do but I realized that in the last 7 days I was hoping against hope for something to work out. I was heartbroken and sad. When I sat down with Dr Bharathi, I could not control my tears. I told her I had come to Jindal with a lot of hope. I have seen so many co patients experiencing rejuvenation and progress. Why not me??? She said she is sure she could help me and wanted me to stay.  I wiped my tears and decided to hang on to my last hope. Bharathi added breakfast in my diet chart and a late night snack. The therapies were kept really gentle and diet was mostly rice and potatoes for almost 9 days. There was no sign of PKM in the last couple days.
But on day 9, he called at around 9pm to check on me. I told him I like Dr Bharathi and was hoping for the best. He mostly listened and asked at the end "what are you doing right now?" “Is he asking me out?” I thought. I said I was about to sleep after my night therapy. “Let me know if you need help”, he said.
 The next morning, I had saboodana for breakfast after my kriyas and laughing, meditation session. Took some pics of the campus and chit chatted with fellow patients in between treatments, my accupucture therapies and usual mud packs and then sat in the dining hall chatting.
 I called him the next night to give him an update. He asked the same question, “What are you doing”. I said, “nothing, why?”” Would you like to come for a walk with me?” he asked. He was on his final round for the night and stopped at several buildings on campus giving instructions to the staff. It was probably day 10. He talked about the food served to the staff and his experience in the job so far. Then sensing that I was getting tired, he pointed to a bench on one of the walkways. We sat there and talked for what seemed like almost an hour.
 He told me how the staff at the diet center were all paranoid of me. I was fussing about the food too much. He said, “you have the words ‘handle with care’ written all over you! “ I smiled listening to that. That day he talked a lot about his life. He described his unhappy childhood, his tensed relationship with his father while growing up and briefly mentioned his recent divorce. He expressed his displeasure at the food available in the mess. It was similar to the food being prepared for the patients. He obviously didn’t care for it much. He then said he wanted to cook for me. It must be almost 10 pm when I got up and started walking back to my room. He was starting to flirt with me….
 I have had a few guys in my life who I have sensed had developed a crush on me. Though none of them ever openly flirted like this PKM. It was a new experience and that too when I was almost 44 years. I never found myself physically attractive. I grew up with a very big inferiority complex. The squint in my eyes, my crooked teeth and my short height—I was very aware of all of it. I was scared to make eye contact as a teen ager. I was surrounded by a flawless genetic pool when it came to beauty, especially on my mother’s side. I was very aware that I was the odd one in my family. Physical beauty was never my thing and I accepted it.
 No one had ever proposed to me in my life, not even my husband. And even he had had not minced his words on my appearance in our initial years of knowing each other. It had taken him 4 years to decide about us…all of this was in my distant past…But clearly, I still wanted to feel beautiful and desired, somewhere deep down in my heart. I didn’t know how much until PK started pursuing me. He expressed in words how much he liked me and wanted to be with me. Words I knew were not serious, nevertheless they were the words I had not heard before….
 The excitement was clearly modifying my brain chemicals and the impact on my physical state and my mood was very apparent. However, I was aware of my limits and I knew I was leaving for North America in a few days. I didn't think it was anything serious and so decided to flow with it. From that point, I was looking for him everywhere on campus. I ran into him a couple times in the dining hall. He called me several times during the day. Sometimes, I was in the middle of a treatment and I would return his call later. All the attention I was getting from him was clearly having a physiological impact on me. I still had a lack of appetite but my stomach felt much better. I still got minimal sleep but my energy level was high. I could get through all of the treatments through the day very enthusiastically. I guessed it was the anticipation of running into him on campus....
 I was away form the internet and whatsapp for 10 days now. I realized that the DDR lobby had wifi connection. I decided to ask PKM for help so I could access the i-net while I’m waiting to see Dr Bharathi. And he did get that working for me. The treatment with Dr Bharathi was working out better. My BP was better and the saboodana controlled my BM somewhat. Plus, the PK effect. I was cheerful and hopeful. I almost wished all this had happened in the first week itself.
 Day 11, after my lunch, I came back to my room. Spoke with my father, like I did every afternoon, to update him of my progress and happening of the day. I got a call from him. “I have really started liking you”, he said for the first time. “Look at my luck, the person I have been looking for my entire life is in front of me but nothing can work out between us, so sad’. I was smiling at his immature, sudden and somewhat silly acknowledgement of his love for me. He shared about his recent messy divorce that has ruined him financially and emotionally. He said he wanted to take me to a concert in the city. I was a bit surprised at that idea cause I knew you couldn’t leave the campus until you are discharged, so I smiled again. I told myself, he is silly but harmless so I let him go on.
 That night after dinner, the staff had organized a concert in the hall. He met me at the dining hall and we walked to the concert hall together. He sat next to me, somewhat awkward and fidgety. After the concert, I went back to my room. He said, “stay awake, I’ll call you after midnight”. I said, “I need to catch up on my sleep. I won’t stay awake”. But he called anyway. It was around 1 am. That night and the following night, he repeatedly insisted, “I love you”. I was very groggy and told him, “I like you but I’m married and I can’t do this.” But he wouldn’t stop. I was sure he was just harmlessly flirting so I didn’t want to abruptly cut him out. I thought I could reason it out with him.
The q and a at the hall
 I kept thinking about the phone call the next day. The next night when I couldn't fall asleep, He called. He "saw" me in my room. He described pretty accurately the way I was lying on the bed. The fan running in the room and some other details. I was intrigued. He kept saying how he wanted to be with me. He asked me to put a pillow in between my legs close my eyes and feel him “there”. And try to sleep. He kept saying that and I felt drifting into sleep. Before I hung up, "I love you" rolled out of my mouth... He breathed heavily. Woke up again in two hrs and called him. He said he was awake just in case I got up and needed to go back to sleep. I felt special. He then insisted I came over to his room through a path that was not lit at night. Sensing that now it was getting out of hand, I told him, “this will never happen, you can go on insisting forever”. He sounded disappointed. I said it several times and then I hung up.
 Couple days later, I ran into him in the dining hall. He said a girl on campus has been interested in him. I encouraged him to pursue her. She was a fellow patient from Delhi. Her initials was MG. I gave him a few tips about how to go about it and I left. “May be this way I could stay friends with this guy and not feel bad for him”, I thought to myself. He wanted to introduce me to her as a family friend. “I want your opinion, it will mean a lot”. I met MG and exchanged a few pleasantries. It was awkward but a very short meeting. My brief but frequent phone calls with him continued. They were just about how I was doing and where I was on campus. I saw him sitting with MG in the plaza that night after dinner.
MG was a Punjabi girl probably in her late 20s. She was part of a big group of girls some of whom already knew each other from previous visits at JNI. My interaction with them revealed that MG was from a very rich family and had a boyfriend in Mumbai. She came across as a arrogant and spoilt to some girls in her group.
 Day 13, I got a message from him and he wanted to meet me. We met outside the executive building. He looked really hassled. We started walking towards the farmlands. He told me he had an argument with the senior management, Mr Jindal himself. And he ended up giving a 10-day notice. He was very hassled since he had no money with him. Aha! Now it made sense to me. A COO and no money? Cant be. Anyway, I just tried to pacify him. And said I have friends in healthcare. I can pass on his resume and hopefully he will find a job soon. He was breathing very shallow. I thought he needed to drink water. So we went inside the DDR building, I made him sit on a couch and got him water from a dispenser. While trying to grab the cup, he tried to touch my hand. It was clearly deliberate. I pulled it back instantly almost in a reflex action. He did not react. We walked out of the building. “Take care”, I said. He went back to his rounds. I went for dinner.
 After dinner, I got a call from him saying he was very sick. He was coughing badly and said he had fever. I asked him to take rest. While talking on the phone, he sounded breathless and then suddenly hung up. I tried calling back but could not get through. I was confused and also a bit worried so decided to call the after hours service center telephone to check on him. They called back in a few minutes saying he was ok. When I woke up in the morning, I called him. He was still sounding really sick. I asked if I should come to see him in his room. He said, “no, not at this time.” I really wanted to see for myself, so I asked several times. He did not agree. I left for my kriyas and meditation. Before I went for breakfast, I took some pictures of the campus. The morning was different from all the recent mornings. I wasn’t anticipating meeting him coz I knew he was sick. I went back into my room around 7.30am and called to check on him. He said he was on campus and he saw me clicking pictures from behind. I was very upset that he didn’t tell me he was there. He said he wanted to come from behind and hug me but knew I wouldn’t like it. I didn’t know what to say…Then he asked, if it would be ok for him to come to drop me at the airport. I agreed.
Lizard in my rm. laundry guy. He sent housekeeping.  
  Everyone glowing after few days of treatment. I asked Bharathi to write me a glow massage as well.
 Dec 3: I asked him to print the boarding pass for me. He did and sent me an email with a rose and his pic in a pilot uniform. It read, “Pls be with me”. I responded to him that I saw him as a friend and hope to keep it that way.
Leaving from Jindal. Night before he wanted to stop on the way for a couple hours. My answer was a resounding NO. I knew he cannot do anything to me against my wishes. He knew it too. Everyone in the dining hall suggested I left 4 hrs prior to departure because of the infamous traffic in Bangalore. PK wasn't convinced but I insisted and he said ok. I went to his office all chirpy to ask when we were leaving. He commented " You look nice". I said "I'm ready to go back to the real world". He was disappointed to see me all pepped up. Actually, I was kind of excited about the ride to the airport. Had told my father and my husband that the COO was dropping me since he is going there as well. Next I cleared all my bills. Said goodbye to Dr Deepa, the accupucture therapist. And clicked pictures with all the fellow patients i had made friends with.
 At the gate, showed my receipt and picked up food for on the way. PK came and said he will not be coming to the airport. I was disappointed, to say the least. But then concluded that he might be busy with work and/or MG and that made me angry. I actually felt jealous... He said, ‘I won't be able to see you go". He seemed in pain, his breathing was shallow, his facial expressions showed he was in great pain and misery. Meanwhile, I sat in the cab, slammed the door and never looked back. As soon as the car reached the main road I called him to show my anger. He picked up the phone and started crying.” I’m devastated”, he said. “Promise me you will call me and keep in touch”, he kept saying repeatedly. That was for the first time I thought this was serious and not just a fling/flirting that would end with my leaving Bangalore.....
