What does it mean to fall sick in a foreign land? Detach of the familiar environment and people who have always been there for you. One ends up going through this wallowing in self pity stage to a severe case of homesickness. But thankfully, it does not end right there and then. One will (eventually) see the light at the end of the tunnel . That is when, one realizes that he isn't truly in solitude. Not in the strictest sense at least. Family and friends are in fact just a call away. A plethora of pictures and updates on Facebook are also there to remind oneself of his roots.
As it turns out, it ain't so bad to fall sick after all. It serves as a gentle reminder/wake up call to oneself - of the things that truly matter.
