I attended a talk show by famous personality like "Gulzar Sahib" over the week end. Most of the crowd were 40+ and was profoundly waiting to get a sip of relaxation from this famous diverse personality. I used to read and recite poem, poetry since i was in class 12. After that last 24 years was playing 'tag' game with life. How many target i can touch vs how many will run away from me...lol. I forgot that highest form of human relaxation can be achieved through imagination. Just pure and intellectual imagination that will lead to ultimate form of stress buster. I grew up with reading "Tagore" , Najrul , Jobadanondo Das, Sukanto so many more that i forgot the names.

By the age of 10 - 12 months, as soon

So, I was very well aware of all the symptoms. After staying 2 years in a cocoon, I was mentally prepared to conquer my fear and was positive that I can fight this demon back, if I were to get it. Friday, June 17. I woke up with severe body ache and headache. Usually, my pain is not chronic, so this was worrisome. Not to mention, off late, COVID was spreading ferociously around my neighborhood. For the rest of the day, I worked with an acute uncomfortableness. As it was Friday, I was just telling myself that I just needed some rest over the weekend, and I will feel better soon. My final thoughts trailed off as around 4:30pm, I was just dropped on bed and started getting chills. I am usually very active and positive person, so i knew that mostly i am getting the final dreaded monster which was waiting on my d
