This
blog had a break for almost 6 months.
It
was in February, me and my wife took a couple of weeks off and reached Goa where
our son and daughter-in-law lived. Our two
grandchildren with our daughter and son-in-law from Edinburgh came on holidays
and joined us in Goa.
We
were having a gala time with lots of eats and drinks, movies and visits to the
beach and a bit of sightseeing to boot. Half-way through the holidays, my heart
gave some indication that all was not well.
Well,
not just the indication, it was a heart attack. Promptly my son and daughter
took me to the nearby hospital and later I was admitted to the ICCU of Goa
Medical College. Well, the holidays took a totally different, unexpected turn
for all of us.
After
a week’s treatment there, went to Mumbai for a more detailed check-up. Blocks
were detected and three stents were put in place. Came back to Dehradun with a
new lifestyle carved out in which rest, and medicine, morning and evening
walks, no-drinks etc were the routines.
So,
with more time on hand, I went slow on the blog and went to a bigger canvas and
wrote and published a book. Thus was born ‘Arts of the Bachelor’, an attempt at
humour.
A
few words about the doctors who treated me in both Goa Medical College hospital
and Sion Hospital in Mumbai. They were Outstanding. Now I am cleared of the ‘heart
troubles’ as cleared by the follow-up checks in May.
OK, the blog is being restarted. No, the books will not be stopped, so there is no
escape. The next book is soon to come.
