New Year 2011

27.10.2011: It was Gujarati New Year. Its said that after Nirvana (Moksh) of Lord Mahavir a reign of darkness prevailed which got illuminated with Guru Gautam attaining Keval Gyan the next day, hence we Jains celebrate it as our New Year. Every New Year I just love to hop around from one home to another of close relatives seeking blessings from them & wishing them "Nutan Varshabhinandan" a very happy new year.

But alas! this year it was quite different. The day started good with chant of Nav Smaran & Puja of Simandhar Swami. But had been feeling unwell since many days as had 15 days Gujarat & New Delhi tour from 1st to 15th October & thereafter was occupied with one of my mama who was unwell & hospitalised since 15th October. The worst part that his son & daughter in law also fell prey to Chickenguinea fever. But somehow mamaji recovered & just got discharged on Diwali day to celebrate it at his home.

But now back to my new year day.. Tried coming office & immediately thereafter had to go to see Doctor as health conditions went worse. Then also tried & met parents of 2 friends at their respective home's. Did blood tests & was detected with very high viral fever which meant complete 5 days rest & no more moving from bed, No sweets, No Junk food :( :( (which I missed most) etc etc.

So in all New Year 2011 went bad in bed except for the chants of Nav Smaran & puja of lord Simandhar. Hoping that Year goes off well which started from disasters.
