    An interesting gripping read. A good resumé too. I enjoyed reading it.

    I assumed you would be a non-smoker. And sad to know you were not but glad that you gave up as heart attack impelled you.

    This write-up evidences you are always strong willed and I conclude that has what brought you this far.

    Regards.
    God Bless

    Thanks Thyagarajan for your good wishes.Iwas introduced to smoking by a friend during Final exam to keep awake.I used to travel twenty days a month and being alone books and smoking became my companions.After I got married smoking became occasional but extreme stress in certain phases of my life aggravated the situation.This is not to find excuses but only confirms that I failed to use my brain.You will be surprised if I tell you that I follow a regimental life since 1995 in all respects, most of all maintaining my weight constant at 61.5 kgs.My Doctor has become a good friend and tells my children that not to interfere and I can take care of myself.I always try to look at positive aspect while dealing with situations and individuals.Smoking/heart attack is one of them
    Regards

    That is enviable constant. But 61+ doesn’t match with your profile image. You must be stocky at 5’3”. Once upon a time I was around 70. Today at bathroom I weighed myself. The needle oscillates between 58 and 60.
    Do you really find some positivity in smoking & heart attack. I heard fever is good and so positive Because it indicates something going wrong in the system.

    An old woman at a crowded bus stop finds tobacco smoke nauseating. He chided the man in diplomatic manner. Brother you pay money for buying the beedi . But then why you leAve the smoke outside. Don’t waste your money. Keep smoke with you”
