Of Chicken and Men
By Ujwal Kharel, KF9, Philippines
Today is my last day here at CCT. I can’t believe how soon it’s ending.
I have been largely absent from the blogosphere for more than a month. I blame that on two work weeks I missed being bedridden with chicken pox. I found it ironic (?) that I spent 19 years of my life in Kathmandu without any sickness, and within 4 weeks in a relatively cleaner and more developed city of Manila, I got bedridden. I realized that the worst part about getting a child illness at the age of 25 is not the severity of symptoms, but the ridicule from friends and cousins.
“What!? Chicken pox!? Haha! I had that when I was in the 3rd grade!”
“No way! But you are sooooo old!”
“Hey poxy!”
“Are you sure it’s not adult acne?”
Yeah, thanks everyone! (more…)
