And we realize how grateful it is to be healthy and happy with family.

Last three days have been full of chaos with Dad being admitted in the hospital and these are the moments that makes me realize why we should be grateful to be healthy and alive. Mom always keeps an eye on him, but one small mistake and everything changed - he does not realize what is good for him and ate Dahibara aludam beyond his capacity that he could not digest. He has a very strong cravings for food (which is good), and this is not the first time he ate, but the only problem was he ate double of his capacity causing indigestion that leaded to stomach infection, fever and made him fell unconscious. For the first time we had to call the ambulance to home, because he was not in a position to be brought by even car.

Before bringing him, we did try our best, by giving him tablets, but then as things did not come into control, we decided not to take any more risk.

Admitting him in the emergency, I had to spend the entire night there, before he got shifted to a MICU. A young lady was brought dead by her relatives, after he took her life by hanging herself just because her husband told something. She has two small kids and the entire hospital was full of visitors creating more chaos. But I was silently thinking about the very moment that differentiates between life and death and why people often forget about the precious human life that has been gifted to us.

Leaving Dad in the MICU and coming back made me feel the consequence of being alone - the ambience is great, but still we don't like Hospital, isn't it ?

Can you believe this is hospital ? After taking rest for couple of hours, when I went back next morning, I was shocked to see so many people. A minimalist lifestyle and mindful living to be healthy and enjoy small joys of life is much more precious than this but unfortunately majority of the world is after all the greed.

Even by evening, the crowd was no less - people take it as granted to live by medicine may be.

For two days, dad was not even recognizing but once he got a little better, I asked the lady and the kid to visit him - it creates lot of positive impact and hope for life. These are the moments when you feel the importance of family and togetherness - the stress gets shared when life gets chaotic.

And now the fun - Dad was having the key of his box tied to his thread and they took out that and gave it to me, before taking him to ICU. As he got better, he probably realized the key missing and looked all around. When I went, he pointed to the fire alarm fitted in the ceiling and told me why do you have my key kept there ? It was looking like a key from distance and that ensured, dad is getting back to his normal....I could not stop laughing....Hopefully, we will have him shifted to a room today.
