Its such a wonderful thing to fall sick

Not being able to work, or play or hang out brings about a level of frustration when we fall ill.
We curse ourselves for eating the roadside " golguppas", or getting drenched in the rain or what I call as slogging in morning hours and doing nothing.
But there is an always other side for almost everything. Many people don't agree with my point of view, but I'll try to convince. One can enjoy even more if its taken with a pinch of salt.

Illness can turn out to be a blessing in a disguise if you want to have break from monotonic everyday schedule. You don't need to see your boss's ugly face or hear his ever sadist voice.
Moreover you get loads and loads of personal attention and services :)
Most often you get phone calls and even personal visits from your friends and relatives, and not to mention the "Get well soon" greeting cards and blessings.
And my personal favorite, which is to plan what food items am I going to eat after I get well.
Its not that the food which an ill person gets is pathetic.It is different league of liberty. Like I am missing the traditional "Kaddha" which I used to have only when I fall ill.

What a pleasure it is to sleep for the whole day and night wrapped under a warm blanket.
Food being served and "Do not Disturb" tag is also not required.
You can also see the concern in your loved one's eyes when they pull out the thermometer and check the reading (hoping that it would be or atleast close to the magic number of "98.6").
You get to have those colorful pills and syrups.
Last but not the least, you go through your childhood photo albums, videos and other possessions.
Its such a wonderful thing to fall sick!!!!!!!
