Two Decades of Writing!

 I just saw it has been a little over twenty years since I started my blog! Well well, at least I am still here to see all those posts 🙏😊

Many of my 'blog' posts would have fit on a Twitter/X post but I am proud of consistently(not really consistent) writing for over two decades now!

That`s the postings i have right now, i am supposed to have anyway, but as the PGs have their exams going on, i don`t think it will start until friday atleast(more likely monday as thursday and saturday are holidays). that reminds me, saturday is the d-day,elections, its the first time i will be voting! The boy in the photo(photo is not mine, though i suffer from the same condition) has a skin disease called acne vulgaris . i have been suffering from this condition since 6-7 years, with exacerbations and (not exactly) remissions. i have been put on isotretinoin treatment since almost 2 months now and the pimples have cleared up(at long last!!!!!). its a 3 month course and lets see how long this remission lasts!
