Anosmia and Ageusia.

-

Anosmia and Ageusia are maybe the two new word additions to your daily vocabulary.
OR maybe they have not made it to your  dictionary yet.
 But soon they will and if they don't.  Don't  you worry. You will definitely hear about them from your surrounding fellows.

Although  i am Agnostic in person , but I will still pray for you that, they will never make into your personal dictionary.

You must be wondering , what's the deal with this guy. Why is he blabbering about these new fancy terms .

Well they are not fancy any more, these are the terms which are  verified and also considered by WHO as one of the CoVid symptoms.

Which we all known as the LOSS OF TASTE (Ageusia) and LOSS OF SMELL (Anosmia) these days.
Yes you read it right. 

Loss of taste  and Loss of smell do have a scientific term and particular name in medical science.
 
You know you can't underestimate medical science these days. They know almost every bit of your system and all of the above , they have named everything.
 So Trust them and stop graduating yourself from WhatsApp University or Any another Social media University.

In medical science language these terms have certain meanings :

Anosmia: The failure of the development of or the loss of the sense of smell. Causes include conditions that damage nerve pathways that carry sensation from the nose to the brain. 


Ageusia: is the loss of taste functions of the tongue, particularly the inability to detect sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and umami (meaning "pleasant/savory taste").
 
And further in ,
Layman's term or in Aam Aadmi bhasha  it is known as : WHAT THE FCUK!! is wrong with my Nose and Tongue.
 
 From personal experience.

Loss of taste and smell is one the most frustrating and confusuing experience of Covid.
For your kind information its nothing like your so called seasonal “COLD".
So stop treating it as cold .

The experience can be explained as like:
 Your Cable subscription got discontinued overnight 
and  now  you have nothing but  “Doordarshan”  to live on.

Its like  “whoooff” and its gone.

It may sound funny but its the worst in its own.
No darama, No entertainment , No spicy News , No controversies , Nothing . Just a boring screen. Like eating plain BOILED KHICHDI.

Just Imagine your favourite food or cuisine that you love the most being served on your plate. For sure you will eat it but you cannot feel its essence. 
It feels like eating piece of paper form your notebook . Just try to imagine that.

 Yes its quite heartbreaking i know but its Covid you know.
 Its His game, his Arena and his rules only.

For example you'll miss the most pungent smell that we are always surrounded by these days i.e the smell of SANITIZER. Yes you can't smell it. 
I'll swear on anything that you'll miss the smell of SANITIZER. And You'll crave for it. That how it is.

On a deeper note, you cannot even smell your Own Fart or anyone's around you, your shit , your  burp , your own body odor.
Everything smells like nothing.

Trust me you'll miss these little self defining smells. And you'll feel a large void in your life .

My intentions are not to freak you out about these symptoms.

But i want you to get little more aware and conscious about your small decisions that you make in your everyday life .
  i.e  (ignoring mask and social distancing protocols, Taking it lightly attitude).

Well i think I don't have to discuss the Corona advisory in here because i know that you all are well known to the preventive measures. And well  if you are not aware till date . You can criticise the government as usual. That's your right.

P.s ( I am also trusting you on your  cramming power and trusting on that lady's voice whose teaching you 24x7 about the preventive measures of covid over a year now, whenever you make a phone call).
 
So get  vaccinated as soon as possible.
Or as soon as you find the slot.

For now Corona seems to be  inevitable .

May it never gets you in the first place.
But if it gets you,
its better that it happens after the first dose of your vaccine so that way your body have some antibodies to fight against it.

And  If you want to worry about something. 
Don't worry about The Pandemic at all.
Have some faith in medical science.

I know that  getting Extra Worried all the time is an Indian thing .

So  if you really want to worry about something then please worry about ongoing INFODEMIC. (False information spread)
i.e ( baseless whatsapp forwards , and misinformations on social media)
It is more contagious then Covid.

Please  Help and make people stop putting  different Things or Liquids in their respective holes.


Stay safe, stay home. Be little  sensitive to others in these times. 

This shall too pass .

Peace out.

Outburst of Suicide and mental health advisories on social media. And my very own experience with suicidal thoughts.

                  Yes, i want to do it and going to end my life while you read this ,now help me if you can. Can you?? Okay relax  the tittle and the first line was just to steal your attention towards the article. Now if you got tiny bit of concern about me by reading it, well thank you but the one who wants to suicide will perform it without writing an article like this so your concern after reading some “suicide notification” will meant nothing to that person. So ,What do we know about suicide exactly? Where does we exactly stand in the field of suicide??  Let's talk about it. Suicide is among the top three causes of death among youth worldwide. According to the WHO, every year almost one million people die from suicide and 20 times more people attempt suicide its global mortality rate is 16 per 100,000, or one death every 40 seconds and one attempt every 3 seconds, on average. that means while you reading this article...

Rape - बलात्कार - The Culture within.

Once again, the Rape buzz is everywhere. Let's try to understand  this unfortunate part of our existence. What it is and How it flourished in our society.?  Starting with the definition,  Let's see what its definition says,  By the way its our irony that we actually have defination for it. Rape culture is an environment or a culture in which rape and sexual violence is normalized due to the societal attitudes and actions about gender and sexuality I'll be talking some direct societal facts, and  No shit around feminism or meninism.  Actually ,The nature of such a culture in India has to be viewed through the lens of Intersectionality. And by the lens of intersectionality, i meant that  The already known fact to us that the Indian patriarchy is Brahmanical in nature and interacts with the systemic biases of society, similarly the rape culture in India also exists within the same setting.  Its a fact and tragedy of our society that, As c...

We can never rub away Memories.

  Millions of memories will lost their existence during the journey of life. But there are those memories which people don't appear willing to talk about it.   The unpleasant memories    Which    they would prefer not to touch on. It's a fact that, Most things are forgotten over time. Even if we had fought a war in past,  the life and death struggle people went through is now like something from the distant past.  We are so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past, are  like ancient stars that have burned out and are no longer in orbit of our minds.  There are just too many things we have to think about everyday, Too many things we have to learn. New styles, new information ,new technology ,new terminology...   But still, no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim,   there are some things we can never asign to Oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain with us...
