so now I will explain how it gets started

this is the story of when covid outrage was at pick throwout of the world and also in my country, the government had taken the decision they will again apply a lockdown in the country very strictly.

before coming to the main thing I want to give you my little background, I was a college student at that time and was living in a different city that was more than 1000 km from my home When I took the decision to get admission to my college, from the first day I was planning to live in a single room with no partner in order to focus in my study. this would be the time when I started living in a single room around August 2017.so somehow I completed my graduation in 2020 September with a lot of roller coaster rides in the study and was unknowingly suffering from depression in these three years of time. I will explain these three years of depression(how I think I was suffering from depression and repetitive thoughts unknowingly ) and stories in different blogs.

fast forward let us come to the date of 25 April 2021 with covid outrage on pick All hospitals were full of covid patients and the lockdown was strictly implemented and everyone was in a panic condition everyone was using masks and sanitizer and soap in order to avoid any possible covid exposure, I was also doing the same and was not vaccinated with covid shotes at that point of time.

I was living in the same city in the same single room. I was placed in MNC and was working from home. In the evening time, one of the closed came to my home and we decided to go outside, we took a motorcycle bike and he was driving and I was sitting in the backseat, but even though my mask was on and I was using hand sensitizer in-between time. we reached home around 7 pm and I came to my home and sleep well.

now the date was 27 April 2021 in the evening time at around 6:30 pm the when same friend's phone called me that he has just tested positive for covid since you have been together with me you should also get tested. the first time I feel shocked that anyone that is close to me can get tested covid positive. I was shown shocked that I also feel some symptoms like a sore throat.

as of now, I am publishing this story online at the date 02-07-2023 at 13:24 time.

I will complete the next part in the upcoming days
