Wait and Hope

“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” - taken from the motion picture,Shawshank Redemption. I did not lose my hope and here I am , smiling at my success and looking ahead for a better future. Whatever happens, happens only for good.There’s a God , an almighty keeping a watchful eye on us , playing with us all the time and showering his radiance on us.As Alexandre Dumas has rightly said ,” Until the day when God shall deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is summed up in these two words,--'Wait and hope'.”.May God bless me and all of my friends who care about me.Amen.

Virus

It’s fun to call at your work every monday and say something like ‘I am not coming, down with viral’ and turning up there, the very next morning puffing away your cigarette with a deep grin on you face. That’s viral infection for most of us. However, actual viral infection is totally different from what has been written above. Let’s understand it this way - it’s like reverse order of the previous explanation.When you are down with a viral attack, you lose your grin.No matter how funny the joke or the talk is, you cannot smile.You just can’t.A virus attack kills the humour of the man.Secondly, all of a sudden, it makes you realize that cigarettes or any other goddamn form of smoking is actually injurious to your health.You never cared about the statutory warning on the pack and smoked your fucking deathstick anyway but look what this viral infection has done to you.Now,you care for you life more than you ever did.It’s basically perception oriented .I find it good, you may find it bad – some call it potato, others call it pota-h-to-h.Lastly, if you are really infected with a bad viral, you would not say ‘ I’m not coming’ because a bad viral leaves you with strength just enough to stand limply, forget the walking.And believe me , it’s terrible when you are not able to walk , laugh or smoke.It’s hell.It’s like becoming one of those Benjamin Buttons, like back to an infant from a fully grown adult. A viral attack hits your masculinity -not in that way - but in an equally disastrous way and all.

What I initially thought would be a welcome break from the work, turned out the exactly opposite way.Here I am suffering from high fever since last four days.I believe I must have consumed over 1 kg. of medicine ( surely not less than that ) during these four days.If you ever decide to kiss me , you’d figure out the right compostion of my mouth.”I’m more of a paracetamol guy - you know- kind of seductive one”.Infact, every part of me has become medicine.I pee medicine, I shit medicine, I fart medicine.Whatever blood that was left in my blood system has been taken away by these ill looking pathologists. I guess they are the vampires who suck on during daytime posing as doctors.Or else, who would need three samples in as many days for the same medical test?

In a nutshell, I feel totally fucked up lying in the bed all the time and all. I already must have eaten some 100 kgs. of medicine and urinated medicine type looking substance over a million gallon .I feel like an infant only with a grownup body and lots of body hairs. I have also seen some vampires at the hospital sucking people’s blood and eating flesh. Boy, did I tell you how much I despise the cigarette.
