Test Negative Stay Positive

Guidelines for booster/third/preventive dose of vaccine. Do not rush for it.
If you qualify the current criteria, do get vaccinated. DO NOT believe in hearsay. Vaccine is the only known counter we have!

09/01/2022

We were hoping for a situation where we do not have to post a message here.
But going by the spike in cases, we just thought to put a reminder to follow COVID Appropriate Behaviour.
Nothing to panic, just basic cautious actions! Also, stay away from negativity to keep sanity intact!

23/07/2021

Hope you all have taken the vaccine. Please encourage everyone around to take the vaccine and not come under any sort of misunderstanding 🙏

30% lungs damaged, but positivity & aspirations brought normalcy in place. That's the story of our next COVID fighter, Samanvay Singhal, 30, Bangalore, Product Manager at UNext Learning.
It started with early symptoms of high fever & cough. He immediately consulted doctor and started the treatment on the 2nd day itself. To maintain the energy levels, he kept consuming warm water & dryfruits;, avoided any kind of screen time; and slept in proning position.
Talking to people about positive things in life & future plans helped him stay positive throughout the recovery phase. Recovery took at least 60 days owing to the severity of infection. But acting swiftly, eating healthy, and staying optimistic helped overcome this phase of his life.

He shares very important advice with states opening up:
> Avoid places which are closed and have no natural ventilation. He got infected in a mall
> Follow regular COVID instructions properly
> Mask up properly
> Wash hands/ sanitize frequently

We thank Samanvay for coming forward and sharing his story. His advises are something we all should follow, as unlock 3.0 unravels.

"Social distancing maintain करे. मैंने गल्ती की, मगर हम घर पे रिकवर कर सकते है! सोच बड़ी चीज़ है!"

Neelam Tehiliani, a businesswoman and a mother of 2 young kids, detected positive on the day of her son's birthday! It started with vomiting, cough, fever, headache during the night. Next morning, doctor asked her to get RTPCR done, which showed a CT score of 17! As a mother, it was difficult for her to maintain distancing with the kids. However, she followed all the home isolation guidelines and protocols. Along with the prescribed medication, she followed home based care - like drinking kadha, steam, isolating in an airy room, and a healthy diet. Younger son was also diagnosed positive, but with proper medication, he too recovered.
Positivity and home based remedies, with timely medication helped her and family fight this battle.

We thank Neelam for coming forward and sharing her story. Also, for emphasizing the importance to maintain social distancing!

"Give up & Panic मत करिए. मैं अगर give up कर देती तो मेरी ३ साल की बेटी और मेरी प्रेगनेंसी पे असर होता "
Manvi Upadhyaya, a 37 year old, fought COVID when she was 6.5 months pregnant! It started with her husband testing positive and had to be hospitalised. Thereafter, Manvi also had sore throat, but kept her spirits high to avoid a panic within the family. Doctor prescribed some early medicines, betadine gargle & steam, but things worsened. Her headache reached the peak, and it was getting difficult to manage herself and her 3 years old daughter (she was worried more of the first child getting affected). Doctors advised not to drop the kid to a relative's place, as kids might be asymptomatic carriers. Within a week her husband returned home, which gave her the space to recover.
Regular pranayam helped her a lot. She had a successful delivery and her newborn son is also keeping well.

We salute Manvi for her fight; she's a fighter and her children will follow her footsteps in the battle of life!

Asif Khan's story inspires us to fight covid with full determination. He followed all strict medications suggested by doctor, proper hygeine regime and all home remedies like eating healthy food, kadha, hot lemon water, yoga/exercise everyday. But it was his mental strength and love for his family that kept him very strong. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle pre-covid helped him to recover in only 7 days although it took another 10 days to overcome weakness. He kept all the information about medical resources available through local news handy so that he is well prepared in advance in case of emergency. He kept a positive approach and remained virtually connected with family and friends during self isolation for good mental health. He advises us to not panic, follow all the instructions prescribed by the doctor and take all the precautions after getting well and regularly disinfect and clean your house. We thank him for coming forward to share his story and inspiring us to keep our spirit high.

"हमारा जीवन साथी हमारा शरीर होता है"
Richa Agrawal and her family's story of fight will give you the chills.
It started with her husband and mother-in-law feeling symptoms. However, their RTPCR came negative. Doctor advised them to begin treatment. However, sudden death of a close relative increased the stress levels, and hampered their recovery. Her brother-in-law got affected too, and his SPO2 level dropped below 80. Left with no choice, her husband stepped out and got his brother admitted.
The 2 kids also had symptoms, and then COVID struck her! Her routine fitness regime played the part; her case didn't reach extreme.
Now, the entire family does Yoga and Pranayam to recover quickly.
We salute Richa for her bravery, and wish her & entire family a quick recovery.

All we need is togetherness and a little bit of empathy to bring the brightness back in life. Stand together, care about others, think beyond yourself even when you are following social distancing!
Eid Mubarak eveyone.

Mohit Agarwal's story is full of hope & determination. Like most of us, he tried best to follow all COVID Appropriate Behaviour. However, COVID hit him hard with early symptoms of cough, cold and a 104 degrees fever. He was fortunate to find a hospital bed when his SPO2 level reached 84. He & his family raised all the red flags for support & even found plasma donor. Negativity did creep in with extreme thoughts of what will happen to the 4 years old kid & the family. HOPE & POSITIVE ATTITUDE helped him fight back, along with timely medication. He kept internalising: "Mohit, you have lot of things pending. Fight back and Come back. You have to be there".
We thank Mohit for coming forward to share his story & inspiring us to keep our morale high!

Tanu from Noida, a 37 year old CA, tackled Covid 19 with prayers and positive attitude, as a result she and her family have recovered from the disease. After being detected COVID positive, she panicked as a first response to it, but soon collected herself and was there standing between her family and the disease. It wasn't very easy but with the will to get everyone out of it she continued to put in all efforts. A good and nutritious diet, close monitoring of temperature and oxygen saturation, timely medication and all essential liquids along with care and love for her family, she was able to defeat COVID. Despite she herself testing positive, she chose not to give in rather stand in the face of difficulty. Her prayers got answered and soon she and her entire family tested negative. The post-COVID weakness prevailed but the battle was won.

Bhoomi Parmar from Ahmedabad, a 34 year old PSU employee, fought Covid 19 with patience and is once again living a normal healthy life. Though Covid gave her and her family a tough time, they were patient for 15 days for their recovery and did not panic. They kept their calm. And that's what happened when they received their negative reports after 15 days. She said it was almost like playing the game of patience for them. Though weakness was also a factor to overcome, it too was dealt with rest and patience. She has adviced to thoroughly follow Doctor's guidance and prescription and stay clam. She is definitely an example of hope and positivity for all of us. We thank her for sharing her story and helping us and everyone to stay positive in this critical hour.
