Mosquito - To kill or not to kill



In some households, people have pets for pleasure. But there is a pet in all households. It is none other than mosquito. Whether you build your home on 125 th floor or in hottest desert or rainiest places, the uninvited pet comes and stays with you, sleeps with you and kisses you too. Once we find the uninvited pet, we go to a shelf and takes out - mosquito coil, odomos cream, Good Knight mat, All out liquid, sticker, bat, etc. - just like army takes its weapons from weapons storage depot. All this against a small micro insect. We have been made even more afraid by the latest list of diseases - malaria, chickenguniya, etc. But all things have failed. 

I was on a trekking journey and when I was about to rest i was raided by an army of mosquitoes. I tried a few techniques, but all failed. Finally nature comes to my rescue in form of a wind for a few minutes, which was the best time of my life during that trekking episode. At that time, I realized one thing, man can grow in terms of brain power and invent new new weapons but finally all are nothing in front of Mother nature. Also, Mother nature in its beauty did not even kill a mosquito and took its soft hand to move the mosquitoes and say to them - "Go away mosquito, don't bite the poor man. They are nothing in front of you."
