Ek Machchar Aadmi Ko: The Journey of a Mosquito Net

Let's admit it. If there's anything that a human being values today above all else, it is sleep,  a sound sleep. People would do anything to get a sound sleep - pills, drinks, smoking, reading, music and what not. 

There was a time when sleeping without trouble was not much of a trouble. But today's modern day life style makes sleeping, a big deal. Surprisingly, even after all the care is taken to ensure a sound sleep, one thing that people fail to account for and get reminded only in the night is "mosquitoes". We all know how our parents used to tie this big and ugly mosquito nets that often got entangled and required so much of tying and removing all the time. Many people despise such old mosquito nets and instead decide to sleep in the open. And that invites the attention of mosquitoes, for they detect their prey by the carbon dioxide that we exhale. Many instances of  Malaria, Dengue, Filaria and other diseases like skin cancer etc are often caused because people refuse to use mosquito nets. After the arrival of mosquito repellents children are more exposed to the risk of asthma, lung and respiratory problems.
