Quarantine Series # 14 days Series# Day 8-14 P. S. This write up is dedicated to all the health care professionals, all persons who are covid positive and symptomatic. Once the symptoms appear and your covid testing confirms the same, the period of treatment and isolation seems like eternity. With this day wise write it is my endeavour to alleviate the pain. This is from the time of covid testing onwards. “ Zindagi pyaar ka geet hai, isse har dil ko gaana padega …….. (Life is a song of love , every heart will have to sing) Zindagi gum ka sagar bhi hai , hans ke uss parr jaana padega… ( Life is an ocean of sorrow too, will have to smile and go across). Humming this song, the second week seemed to have gone by, at its own pace. Those with moderate symptoms were progressing well and gradually regaining their inner strength. Those with severe symptoms also, saw light at the other end of the tunnel. Their over all health showed improvement.  Happiest were the ones with mild sympto

Quarantine Series # 14 days Series# Day 5-7 P. S. This write up is dedicated to all the health care professionals, all persons who are covid positive and symptomatic. Once the symptoms appear and your covid testing confirms the same, the period of treatment and isolation seems like eternity. With this day wise write it is my endeavour to alleviate the pain. This is from the time of covid testing onwards.   The last three days passed by in a fleet of moment. I am practicing the theory of “Live in the moment”, no past, no future. Life seems to be more organized and in sync with self. Whenever our frequency changes from our normal bandwidth, some changes occur within our self and in our surroundings. Gradually, one gets adjusted to the hospital isolation room and starts living on a daily basis. With this mindset, one tends to enjoy the hospital stay (really !). As there is surge of energy and power within self, one realizes the numerous hidden talents which had been buried in pursui

Quarantine Series # 14 days Series# Day 4 P. S. This write up is dedicated to all the health care professionals, all persons who are covid positive and symptomatic. Once the symptoms appear and your covid testing confirms the same, the period of treatment and isolation seems like eternity. With this day wise write it is my endeavour to alleviate the pain. This is from the time of covid testing onwards. Human beings are so clever that they calibrated moments into seconds, minutes hours, days, weeks, months and years. After every six days, a Sunday- day of sun/day to relax was named. Little did this being know that the creator of this universe had set everything in a continuous motion and there was no moment to rest. Surprised! Well my context here is very clear, I am talking about a person who is not well. Human body as we all are aware is a 24x7 working machine with no pause (Prayers if there is a pause!).   Lucky ones enjoy Sunday for others it,s like just another day. Like Shak

Quarantine Series # 14 days Series# Day 3 P. S. This write up is dedicated to all the health care professionals, all persons who are covid positive and symptomatic. Once the symptoms appear and your covid testing confirms the same, the period of treatment and isolation seems like eternity. With this day wise write it is my endeavour to alleviate the pain. This is from the time of covid testing onwards. As the sun dawns on day three, its been almost more than forty eight to 60 hours since one is hit by the unexpected happening which has landed in an ICU. Human mind is an exceptional form of energy whose potential and power has not yet been harnessed. The rising sun brings an unconditional acceptance in everyone. The shore seems to be in sight although it appears to be hazy with overcast sky. The paradox lies in being certain of reaching the shore with clarity that turbulence will be there which will go away eventually. One gets used to the hospital routine and monitor beeps soun

Once the symptoms appear and your covid testing confirms the same, the period of treatment and isolation seems like eternity. With this day wise write it is my endeavour to alleviate the pain. This is from the time of covid testing onwards. After a long-long twenty four hours, yet another day begins. The rising sun beckons new birth and the warm sunshine kindle rays of hope. The ups and downs are akin to waxing and waning of sea waves. The bliss can be broken by some untoward changes in your laboratory parameters leading to hard decisions and change in treatment protocol. Your mobile phone is the “magical access key” to this world of uncertainty from the outer side. For once everyone feels being tied by unseen shackles. Somewhere the thoughts of well being of near and dear ones keep on raising their tiny heads in the co

Quarantine Series # 14 days Series# Day 1 P. S. This write up is dedicated to all the health care professionals, all persons who are covid positive and symptomatic. Once the symptoms appear and your covid testing confirms the same, the period of treatment and isolation seems like eternity. With this day wise write it is my endeavour to alleviate the pain. This is from the time of covid testing onwards.   A healthy person comes in contact with person with corona viral load. There can be different scenarios. One is of frontline warriors who are using protection and are aware of the patients they are dealing with. Second scenario can be in case of contact with healthy asymptomatic carriers. Another can be you were in self isolation but stepped out of your house once or twice. Whatever maybe the scenario, in spite of all precautions, you have symptoms and there is suspicion of covid. Now the million dollar question is what to do? It is of utmost importance to decide whether one nee

I was watching you # Letter from a sister# Emotions unplugged {This write up is a gratitude note for my elder siblings whose marriage anniversaries fall in this month.} Being the youngest in the family, I was always lucky. I had my elder brother and sisters to protect me and look up to. They were a blessing (most of the time). Many things were filtered at sibling level and never reached my parents. I had the privilege, rather advantage of learning new things earlier than them. It never struck that they had a person who adored and admired them 24 x 7 and was a witness too in their happy and difficult times. I learnt immensely by merely watching them (even though they were oblivious of this fact). When you thought nobody was watching you, I was watching your actions and reactions. From the satisfaction and happiness of topping in class to pain and anguish of missing out by few marks, I learnt that success and failure were a part of life. The way you maintained your first positions

This is a poem close to my heart as it is penned down by my eldest sister for my birthday. This is her poem which I want to share. This reminds me of my mother who had a habit of penning down her thoughts on our birthdays.  Please read on ......... On the  birthday of my little sis, who will be always little and cutest person on earth for me. So, here's for Juju: Tender age of four was mine, When white as snow with glow and shine, Chubby cheeks sailed into our hearth, The cutest prettiest bundle of joy, ever on earth. Tender age of two was Molly, Awestruck amazed at this roly poly. Juju Juju was what she muttered, So, that is what she will be called, everyone uttered. While growing up, she kept everyone on their toes, She was a delight for both friends and foes. Her elephant like memory and easy grasp, This beauty with brains made everyone gasp. I know her for her caring, loving and gentle ways, My li'l sis, our Mom's Raju, is always positive, with no nays. I wish her the b

Only one take # No Re-take Sounds familiar! In this movie of life, there is only one take and that is full and final. There are no re-takes to amend or modify our actions and deed. Seems amazingly complex! Life is akin to chess where one should take a thoughtful step ahead as every step counts, it can either save you or put you in trouble. The bishops, rooks, knights and pawns represent our thought processes both good and evil. Pawns are like virtues which move simply ahead in honor of their king and queen. Bishops, rooks and knights are bestowed with superior qualities and act like vices. The opponent in this game of life is “Life itself.” The goal is to move ahead thoughtfully, cautiously without endangering ourselves.     The famous Gabbar Singh,s dialogue from Hindi super hit movie Sholay,“ Jo darr gaya, who marr gaya”, reinforces the fact that life is always a mental game. Opportunities are many but there is only one take For every problem there is a solution and every solut

Grief is mine # Let the whole world shine Disclaimer: In this write up, grief means loss of parents or someone real close. Life is what happens to us, at this very moment. The moment is “NOW.” It,s happening every living moment. Are we in a state of awareness? If not, then it,s time to awake, arise and shine . Embrace life# Life is waiting for you! What are you waiting for??There is one moment of realization which hits everybody and causes them to wake up from their slumber. The point to ponder is – do you want to wait for that jolt or are you willing to do it by yourself! Choice is always yours. One of my favorite tagline is “To live life in a fully conscious state is like being in an intoxicant state, which is supreme, divine.” I read a story in Hindi subject, class 9, NCERT. The title is “Dukh ka adhikaar - Right to grief.” After reading this, my mind was flooded with many questions as to how the financial barrier in our society has laid down rights in times of grief too! The

And then………….Life happened! Many years ago, a pious soul took a mortal coil and thus began the journey from start to end. Many simple questions created havoc in the young mind. Few questions were dealt with, few were postponed and for few he was chided. Overpowered by parent,s ideologies, this child somehow never realized when he lost his originality and succumbed under so called society pressures. The usual rat race began with (un)healthy competition among peer groups. In a race (to whom does it really matter) to be the best parents, the child was enrolled in multiple classes besides the regular school classes. Somewhere the childhood was completely lost in running from one class to another. To add to it, the stress on relishing food and importance of chewing food was forgotten. All he heard was,” Come on hurry up! you will get late for the next class.” Holidays were booked for extra stuff which needed to be done in order to stay ahead from peer group (really!). The moments of hap
