I have been truly blessed in terms of health. Have never had a fever in the past decade, headaches are just not known to me and I can digest just about anything.
Given this not pink but PINK health I had started to believe that people overplay their sickness. Meaning when people complain that they have severe headache or their stomachs are not fine, I could never really empathize (forget sympathize) with them. But everything changed last week.
I was out shopping and the day was as usual as it can be. Had eaten a huge breakfast and light lunch. I was looking through various stuff at a shop and suddenly everything started getting hazy. First I thought it’s mental but then my body started getting loose and I could hardly keep straight. Asked for water, sat down on a chair and HAD to put my head down. For all those moments when my body was struggling to balance its metabolism my mind was racing against it and telling me
“Feel this, Feel this, this is how people feel when they are ill. Low sugar and low BP is not just a fake excuse. IT HAPPENS!!”
And when it all ceased within a few seconds I was a humbled human. I for once started to understand the plight of those who must be suffering from whatever it is that they suffer. And not to mention that I felt luckier than ever that I am not a victim of such health problems. I am just soooo happy for my pink health!
Thank you God for making me strong and humble!!

Acutally, its good to fall sick once a while.
A. You can get a good break for free.
B. Friends would call and ppl at home wud show more than usual dose of affection
I heard it also helps in building resistance…
I had 103 temperature this week and with just 1 msg, i took 2 days off…but of course, my routine is totally disturbed and due to weakness, its very diff to catch up with busy schedule…

I, for one, cant stand any kind of pain!
I know its silly… but somehow, any sort of pain, mild or strong, just drives me cranky! All those pooor people who love me and have to put up with it…
