COVID Days

The whole world is going through tough times. Death and despair all around. Feels like Nature wants us to suffer. Though Covid is the main actor , there is flood, cyclone and others in play too. second wave hit us badly in India, especially in Delhi-NCR, condition was really bad. we are afraid to fall sick, there is no beds in hospitals, no oxygen facility. People are afraid to even go to hospitals. Many are having anxiety and panic attacks by just thinking about it. I was also no exception.

Symptoms first occurred to me on 23rd April, Delhi & Haryana was under lock down. It was around noon, I was sitting on a sofa watching TV, suddenly I started having trouble breathing. It was acute while sitting on floor. I stood up putting my hands on my knees trying to breathe. I was even unable to talk properly. Talking made me gasp for breath. I hoped it will go away because the biggest problem was that, I am living alone.

I was kinda thinking, 'MAN, I just married and this is how it gonna end? NO WAY'.

Our  marriage was kinda funny, my wife teases me. It was a covid marriage with just a bunch of people and everything happened in a blink of an eye, from engagement to marriage. Everyone wants to be done with the marriage ASAP. Our family don't know when and how will this pandemic end and nobody wants to wait till then, but my wife, she complained that everything happened so fast and she didn't have time to prepare. And after our honeymoon I m stuck here in Delhi & she in Kerala. 

And now she is afraid to death. I am here alone and gasping for breath and she cant do anything to help. Since it is lockdown and taxi services are somewhat based on the algorithm of "How Luck you are" rather than the Real-Time Network model of Ola & Uber.

I called her and she panicked hearing my condition. She complained that, I never listen, bcoz She had already told me to come back to her in Kerala, which I didn't do, of course. I wondered how did she managed to get that time to complain while I was on the verge of a lung collapse. Anyways, being an Ayurvedic Doctor, she instructed me to have some medicine, which she has already packed for me as a precaution. She told me to have that. I took it and laid sideways on sofa. After an hour or so I got some relief. I am able to breathe normally. 

I was lying there in sofa staring at the ceiling fan. Usually I never dare to look at ceiling fan while sleeping , bcoz I am afraid of the crappy fan dropping on me while I am asleep. Today It was unusually nice looking at the pattern it creates whiling rotating fast. And I mumbled, "God.. I love her".

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray

I hope everyone has noticed the excitement created by the death of Bala Saheb Thackeray. Its just fine if you want to pay tribute to Mr.Thackeray and call him a great visionary and all. India is a democratic country you have every right to do as you please as long as it doesn't obstruct someone else's right. But when Maharashtra govt. arrested two girls charging them, of hurting religious feelings(Section 295 (a)) and IT Act for posting anti-Thackeray comments in facebook, any man in his/her right mind would agree, they have over-stepped their boundary. What religion are they talking about, he is a political leader,whose motto was to carry off non-Maharashtriyans from Maharashtra. Actually what the girls did was, one among them posted some comment on facebook wall and the other girl liked it. Those remarks showed their anger against the "bandh"(strike) on the day of Thackeray's death. If that wasn't enough shiv sainiks vandalised one of the girl's uncle...

Long live humans

I always wondered by the fact that on what basis did they give Mr. Obama a Nobel peace prize. All that i can remember what he did is talking. Or is it because he wrote a book, then its definitely not a big deal at all. Even Paris Hilton did publish books. Any one can write a book now a days, if it is by a celebrity then its going to be a best seller even if it has blank pages. As far as i know you don't expect to acquire peace by talking, you need to do something for that. Even so i think he is much much better than Mr.Bush. In India we have a decent and respectable man as a PM but as we all know he doesn't have a say in any matter. He must stand up to his reputation. People think he is just a puppet in the hands of Congress. If we go to Italy it is worse in there. PM is a morally  deteriorated person. The man slept with almost every women he came across and is accused with paying money for underage sex. Still the guy is shameless. Another one is Mr.Gaddhafi who is not r...
