Home and Fragility of Life
I guess anyone who experienced staying away from home
would understand my feeling now


Finally I am back home again
After 2 1/2 months!


Ok, 2 1/2 months might not sound like a very big deal
But it is.
At least, to me.

But this time round, my level of anxiety and my gush of adrenaline is not as high as per normal.
Just learned how vulnerable life can be these weeks
First, my bro went for a tonsilitis removal surgery
Then, my relative went for a tumour removal surgery
Now, just as I reached home, my friend A called me
Told me that SM was hospitalized
and had a surgery today
I really dont know how to describe my feelings now.
Well, good thing to note
that they are all safe, and the surgeries went well,
and the next thing is for them to recover speedily

But hey, does that not show how life vulnerable is?
Anything it seems
could just happen to the people around you
People who are close to you
And it is independent of whether you are prepared for it or not

Even a very health conscious person
and who's slim all the while
could collapse one day
and be diagnosed with 3 blocked arteries
and had to go through an emergency bypass surgery
and be placed in ICU for a week
This is not a fictional case
It happened
I knew that person
although I don't directly know him personally...

So tell me, how more fragile can life be?
