Me vs mosquitoes version 2.0

This article I am writing after the hardwork I have done for 4 consecutive days . I am not joking , I spent 4 sleepless nights !!


I had stopped trying ways of fooling mosquitoes so that they don't bite and suck my blood . But I had to do something about this .


Necessity is the mother of invention .

Finally , I have found a solution . I want to share this with all the people who are spending sleepless nights because of mosquito biting .



All you need is a blanket , a towel . That's all !!!!



Blanket I am not using to cover the whole body . That's very common . My method is innovative and it is the result of my investigation .




The blanket we are using is only to cover the half of the body . As I reside in a coastal area , we don't need any blanket as nights are quite warm here .




There is a reason behind half covering of body . Our body should be covered properly from neck to abdomen . That's all !!



Based on my research   , I have come to a conclusion that mosquitoes rarely bite on legs and feet . Mosquitoes always target our fingers  , hands , shoulders , neck and face .



So it is very important to cover with blanket till neck . Care to be taken so that no upper body part is visible out of blanket .



Now take the towel . Fold it to half by longitudinally . Cover the ears , cheeks  , chin and threshold properly . Beginning it may feel difficult but practice always makes man perfect !!!



Very important thing is we must not cover our nostrils .


We need to breathe that's why nostrils should be open . I tried this method . It is successful and I recommend this method to everyone .


Yesterday night I had followed the same method while sleeping . As soon as the lights are switched off , mosquito gang became active and they were on their duty of biting .


I was expecting this . Only my nostrils were open and rest all my upper body part was covered . Mosquito gang was nearing ......


Alas , there is no body part of me available for them . I could hear them buzzing here and there , discussing amongst themselves what to do next ?!


They were circling around my head , humming songs . They could not do anything .



FINALLY I WON THE BATTLE .

Caution fatigue

India is battling with covid -19 pandemic disease . The spread of disease has been increased significantly over past months .


I observed significant change in the behaviour of people before lockdown and after lockdown . When this pandemic entered India and Indian government declared lockdown , at that time people really were scared of their lives though the mortality rate was really low .


But now the people getting infection amount is more and also the death numbers, are increasing . But people are acting like they don't care for this pandemic . Though government is educating people about cleanliness and use of sanitizer and wearing mask , people seem to be not serious .


This change in the psychological condition of people is called cautious fatigue .



When lockdown was first announced , many people were charged with energy and motivation to flatten the curve . But now many months on  , prolonged stress , anxiety , isolation and disturbed routine has made the people drained .


People are getting more lax about social distancing . This is cautious fatigue .

Mosquitoes of my room are spying on me ....

I have a special sentiment for mosquitoes of my room . They are very unique . They are fond of my blood so much that they really don't care for any of the mosquito repellent I use to get rid of them ! Somehow they survive . Such a bond we share !!!


Now I am pretty sure that they have started spying on me . I specially noted down 2 instances where in my doubts were proved right .


1. Now it is monsoon season . Usually it is low temperature in the night . Usually I turn on the fan of my room in maximum speed that is level 5 .
     But as it is quite chill in the night , I turned on the fan in level 4 speed . The mosquitoes which were not present when fan was running on its maximum speed , are present now !!
     I have cross checked it by changing the speed of the fan to maximum again . As soon as the speed limit is changed , mosquitoes vanished instantaneously !! This is how they spy my movements .


2. The next incident prove how clever are the mosquitoes of my room . I was sleeping on bed in a particular position . Soon mosquito attack started . I thought for a moment . Got up . Changed my position . Now my legs were there where my head was there earlier . I thought mosquitoes will get confused and leave the place . But I was wrong . They soon found out where is my face and started biting .



Now I have surrendered myself and accepted my defeat . I believe

                  LIVE AND LET LIVE OTHERS .

Why do we get bad breath in the morning ?

Many of us get up in the morning with bad breath . It makes us to stay away from talking with people . I observed that we have bad breath only during night , that means when we sleep for a long time . But not in the morning . Why ?



Reason is very simple . When we sleep , our mouth dries out . That means our normal flow of saliva decreases . This is the exact time when the odour producing bacteria in the mouth , proliferate .

If we snore or breath through the mouth , the rate of drying out mouth is more than usual . Thus making it easy for the odour producing bacteria .


Some medications , smoking and allergies are also the other reasons for bad breath .


By brushing , flossing and also by rinsing our mouth with mouth wash , we can overcome this problem .

What makes the egg to stand straight on salt?

We all know eggs can not be made to stand straight  . This may be because of their elliptical shape . But yesterday I saw one video where the participants made the egg to stand straight !



Illustration is very simple . Sprinkle a little salt on a hard and flat surface . Now place the egg on salt . The egg will stand straight up !


Reason for this may be salt crystals are almost perfect cubes in structure and they form a sort of supporting base to the egg to stand straight .
