In conversation with Aditya Narayan

While Papa Udit Narayan is worried about son , Aditya would like to reassure his father that he’s doing okay after being diagnosed as Covid positive. The latest is that he has been hospitalised.

“I am physically weak but I am doing okay. No need to worry,” Aditya texted back when I inquired about his health.

He further admitted that he felt it coming for a while now. “It’s pretty complicated. But apparently the Covid virus has been in my system for a while. It took some time to show up in the tests. I am told sometimes the virus takes time to show up in the tests. The only certainty about this virus is that there’s no certainty.”

Sadly Aditya’s newly-wedded wife Shweta is also down with the virus.

When I ask about her Aditya says, “She’s feeling the same way as me. The virus hit her 4-5 days after me. But yeah, she definitely got it through me.I take the blame.”

While Aditya’s father worries about his health, Aditya is worried about his father. “He hasn’t yet taken the vaccine. I hope he agrees to get vaccinated soon. I’m worried about my parents and even more worried about my grandmother. This new Corona wave is far scarier than the first wave.”
