On day two of this great big adventure I started to get a bit of a scratchy throat. (Don’t tell anyone in India immigration this because they’ll send over the doctors/nurses in white suits.) As such, I decided I should probably visit one of the plethora of chemists/druggists in the area to get some lozenges.
So, I traipsed over to the nearest parking garage (because where else would you find a pharmacy) and asked the chemist what he had. “Two of these pills a day,” he said, “and here are some lozenges.”
When I took one of the pills about a half hour later it complete eradicated any remnant of a sore throat and erased any chance of a virus surviving in my body. That’s some pretty powerful stuff. It also happened to make me high for about 24 hours. Not sure if I’ll be taking any little yellow pills again any time soon…
