Namaste Steem Family,

Hope everything is going well for everyone at the moment.

After a long and extremely needed break, I am returning to the platform after taking a long and much-needed break. During the time that I was absent from my blog, I had been diagnosed with dengue fever, which was very difficult for me to recover from.

The mosquito problem is really getting out of hand here in India, and even after so many government programs have been undertaken to educate people about how they can avoid such situations, people still litter things that hold water for a long period of time, which then creates a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which in turn leads to the illness and sometimes death of many people.

In addition to this, another reason I think that I got dengue has to do with the fact that I take my dog for walks every morning, every evening, and at night, which is part of my daily routine that I have to follow every day. As I was walking early in the morning and late at night, the mosquitoes may have bitten me then.

The house I live in is located in a neighborhood that is very close to two agricultural fields that were abandoned by the farmers and are no longer used for the purpose of growing anything. Because of this, the farmer does not come to weed out his fields as he should, so people sometimes think that the fields are a breeding ground for mosquitoes, as well.

Even after a month after being diagnosed, I was still not able to fully recover from all of this and therefore was not able to be active on the platform for a while.

Would you like to know what helped me to get out of dengue?

We suffer from severe dengue when our blood vessels become damaged and leaky as a result of the disease. A decrease in clot-forming cells (platelets) in the bloodstream is also a result of the condition.

Due to the fact that my taste was mostly gone and I was unable to taste many things for some time, I chose to drink ginger and cardamom tea as it tastes good.

In addition, I took papaya leaf extract, which has been described as being useful in treating dengue fever. Besides this, I was on a saline solution for the rest of the time.

In the course of recovering from dengue fever, I was able to contact @deepak94 for getting updates on the Steem platform, and he was able to provide most of those updates. In the past few weeks, I've been relying heavily on him for information on a variety of subjects.

While I understand that I have many responsibilities as a country representative for Steem, I hope that the Steem team will understand my situation in the best way possible.

Secondly, I am also glad to know that the Steem team is initiating a development program, and I am hoping that I will be able to contribute to it in some way. As far as I am concerned, this is the best news I have received in such a long time. My personal opinion is that this will open the doors to new opportunities for the Steem blockchain as well as for the people who use the Steem blockchain and all those who are a part of it.

I would like to appeal to all Indians to start thinking about what they can do to assist in the growth of the platform and the blockchain, especially now that we now have the support of the Steemit team on board too.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this article through to the end.
