Day 246

I felt better in the morning when everything seemed to have settled down a bit and now there are disturbances in the city taking lives of innocent people. What can one say or do except becoming the silent witness. Pray, yes that can be done. Prayers and many prayers to bring sanity and peace to this beautiful city.

At home although things are better yet my aunt is still going through the high and lows of fever. Doctors initially diagnosed it to be malaria, as I also wrote in my yesterday’s post but even with that treatment fever is still coming with breaks. It is a viral infection they say however, the type and extent is yet to be seen in the following days. I hope things to get better both internally and externally.

With November soon exiting, now we feel a bit chilled weather but it is not cold enough to get covered up in woolies or sweaters. With winter comes the roasted peanuts sold in hand-carts near every residential vicinity.

The idea of getting under woolies and cracking peanut shells with family members gathered near TV watching some horror movie or a ridiculous daily soap is always a wonderful experience.

May we all experience such long cold winters with warmth and love of our loved ones around us.

May we all remain in peace and health…. Amen!

Sonya. (Day 246)
