Food all around but I can't have any

So, on top of my gluten intolerance, my doctor told me that stress alone can sometimes cause abdominal cramps and pains. This makes sense because I know I've never been as stressed as I am now because I am absolutely terrified about these exams coming.

I've got a cocktail of medicines to take but none seem to really take away the pain. It's always there, in the pit of my stomach. When I'm least expecting it, it'll get really bad for a few moments like someone is tearing me apart. It's so painful and so hard to keep up with

What's more, I keep feeling bloated every time I eat. As well as not eating gluten, I've had to take out foods which would be fried and for a South Asian, that's hard. Today I had an apple for breakfast, sweetcorn for a quick college lunch and then a handful of plain white rice once I'd got home. I just want to cry because I'm that hungry. 

Every little bit of gluten affects my cramps, the stress affects my cramps and now no food is making it worse. I can't have toast, a biscuit, a piece of cake, crisps, cereal, couscous, nothing. No fried/oily food means no curries, omelets, and well, what else does a Bengali eat on a daily basis?

I just want to drop everything and sleep. Sleep it all away.

Friday Favourite - 19 Apr - Bastille, Bad Blood

(I know it's not Friday but I was suffering, so I couldn't post this on the day.)

Today's Friday Favourite is the Bad Blood album by Bastille. I've really been loving Bastille the past month. Their single Pompeii is pretty eerie but amazing at the same time.

One of my favourite tracks off the album has to be Icarus. Damn, that song is good. The atmospheric beginning and almost anthemic feel which makes you feel kind of empowered. (Is that just me?)

I also love Laura Palmer, which happens to be the next video which the band released recently. It's another eerie one but I feel it's also quite sad and melancholic. Check it out on the right.  :)

I also noticed that a lot of the beats on the album are quite multicultural. Whether it was just a coincidence or not, I don't know, but it makes the album pretty amazing. I noticed some Indian beats, Middle Easten belly-dance type beats (subtle, but there) and also some tribal drum beats. It sounds good but if it's just me then I probably sound crazy right now.

Have a listen to Bad Blood by downloading the album from iTunes by clicking the album cover below. :)

Trust me, the album is worth the money and they are seriously talented people.


Let me know what you think as I'd love to know whether I'm going crazy or not when it comes to the thing about the multi-cultural beats haha.

Enjoy and happy listening!
