Yes, it is true. We often underrate a person’s importance in our life. We fail to appreciate the person who is close to us or maybe we just take that person for granted. It is only after death, that the person’s value is perceived.
This is exactly what happened with me. Panchali and her love entered in my life like a blessing from God. Soon it became the most precious gift of my life. All I had to do was to treasure it. She was my better half and I should have respected and loved her like she deserved. Unfortunately, I could never completely understand her passion and affection for me. I am talking about the times when Panchali was with me, when she was alive. It is unfortunate not to cherish love when you have it in your life; because once you lose it you may never find it. I did learn this lesson but by the time I learnt it, it was too late.
I can never forget her. Panchali- everything about her was magical.
I can still feel her with me, in my every breath.
Some people say- ‘Death is a horrible thing’. Some differ in opinion and say- ‘There is nothing more beautiful than death, as it is considered ‘a new beginning’. ‘It is nothing but change of costume for the soul and a new journey begins’.
Panchali was different from all. She was unique and I never met anyone like her.
She embraced death but the desire to live life was also very much persistent in her. She could never let go of her thirst for life.
Blame it on ‘Love’. Love can make your life so blissful!
Life and Death are nothing. Love plays by its own rules. Love is beyond the realm of life and death.
Once in love, a person can even cross swords with God. Love pours that sanctity in you. The energy it triggers inside a person is so strong that even elements bow before the realm of love.
Panchali had so much love in her that elements could not make her surrender.
My Panchali clashed with destiny and fought with God for her love- for me!
My name is Parimal Ghosh. I am an English novelist and I have written five novels so far. All five of them have been best sellers. My novels have been very successful in European fiction market. Most of them have set new benchmarks of success in terms of sale and popularity. In short, I am at the peak of my thriving career which has remarkable future prospects.
I love my writing work and it is ‘Love’ that my writing deals with. I write romantic novels. Love is a universal feeling that everyone can identify with. No matter what part of the world my reader belongs to, he or she understands the passion and intensity in the romantic world that I try to create in my novels. After all, everyone falls in love at least once in life. My readers are young and urbane. My romantic work touches their hearts and lives. I often feel that my thinking matches with my readers; and it is an essential thing for any writer.
It is not that I can’t deal in other genres, but a writer has to be convinced about his beliefs as well as his readership. I cannot imagine my young readers to believe in ghost stories. Spirits-demons are blind beliefs that are utterly discarded by them. Even I do not believe in such things at all. In today’s modern times, who would believe such an old fashioned crap! Life and death are the only certainties. Ghosts and spirits are just the games played by human minds. It is that simple. Why would a person believe in something which he has never seen or experienced? Our common sense does not allow us to do that. So ghosts, spirits and the whole ‘paranormal world’ thing is just a façade. At least that is what I used to believe.
But then, one never stops learning in this remarkable school of life. The world does bring forward and teach new things that we must accept. Being open minded is, of course, a pre-requisite. Then the possibilities of learning are endless. So often, books cannot teach us what our experience can!
It happened with me.
The love in my life took a tortuous course and enlightened me. There were many surprises and shocks en route. Smiles were abundant and so were tears. Love is after all a complex emotion. Like night and day, like sunshine and rain, it plays with our mind and sometimes our life. This is a kind of love story you have never heard or read.
Kolkata is my home town. I used to stay in the famous ‘Gole Market’ area. Panchali was from the same locality. We met in college and the reason we met was nothing but a ‘story’. I had contributed a love story to the annual edition of college magazine. Panchali was crazy about that story.

♻️ ILLNESS AND MEDICINE
For the past few days, John has had some difficulty breathing. He was 30
years old, and it was a bit odd for someone of his age to have this
symptom. Maybe if he was a smoker, things would make more sense, but
John has never smoked a cigarette in his life. He decided to go see his
doctor about it.
Luckily, he was able to schedule an appointment that very week and
get himself checked out. At the doctor's office, there was a considerable
waiting period before you could be seen by the physician. John brought a
book to read in the waiting room, but he found it hard to focus for very
long, given his condition. After 20 minutes, he started to get a splitting
headache. In anticipation of such a scenario, he kept over-the-counter
pain relievers in his car. Following a quick trip and back, he washed down
the pills with water from the water fountain and took a big sigh of relief.
The nurse called John back to room 107 and did some routine checkup
procedures. She took his blood pressure, measured his height and
weight, and asked about his family's history of health problems. John was
fortunate enough to not have any hereditary health issues. There was no
heart disease, cancer, diabetes, nor arthritis to worry about. The nurse
also asked about any and all current drugs he was taking, but he replied that
he doesn't take any medication.
After John's information was recorded, the nurse left the examination
room and told him the doctor would be with him shortly. Just two minutes
later, he was finally face to face with the man who could help cure him in
no time. Dr. Spetzel was his name, and he was as friendly as could be. The
two chatted about John's breathing issue, and John went into more detail
about his condition. Chest pains were occurring throughout the day, but
there were no heart palpitations. There was a little coughing but no
wheezing. The doctor placed his stethoscope on John's chest and asked
him to take a couple of deep breaths.
With a few subtle nods, it appeared Dr. Spetzel had reached a final
diagnosis. It was asthma. He said it was common for adults to develop
asthma and not just children. An inhaler would immediately curb his
symptoms, but it's a medication he would be required to take for the rest of
his life to keep his symptoms at bay.
Carrying his prescription from Dr. Spetzel, John headed towards the
pharmacy to receive his inhaler. He dropped it off at the customer service
desk then started to wander around the store. It would be some time until
his prescription was filled, so he browsed the various medicines on the
store's shelves. He saw tons of products to treat colds, allergies, and the
flu. There were even over-the-counter treatments for constipation and
diarrhea.
The pharmacist called out to John, for it was time to pick up his
prescription and head back home. While out in his car in the parking lot,
John took his first dose and instantly felt much better. It became
significantly easier to breathe, and his chest pains subsided. He was
grateful for the miracle of modern science and medicine.
Throughout the ordeal, it occurred to John how important his health
and body were to him. Being in a constant state of bad health would make
for a very poor quality of life. His diet would be the first place to start
making improvements.
