Momsie Popsie Diary

The Journey Inside We have heard phrases like, “Pen is mightier than the sword”, “Tongue lashes more hurt than a whip”, “An ant can make a mighty elephant cry “etc. This holds true in current times too. What no one could do, a virus of approximate size of 120 nm (.12um) has done to mankind. What was lost to the outside world under the umbrella of progress and development, this tiny virus has reversed the trend. No guesses! it’s the inward trend or the journey inside. I heard a story during my childhood days.  When God created man, he took extreme care and diligently worked on this masterpiece. When God was about to complete, happiness came running and pleaded to God, “God please assign me a safe place, as I am always under threat by hatred, jealousy and sadness.” God thought for a while and exclaimed, “Well! as you are the most valuable asset, I will place you safely inside the human being.” Now happiness was satisfied. Gradually, as time wheel moved, human being started searching

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

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

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

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

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

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
