My father had a government job, his job was not permanent in one place, sometimes after 2-3 years we had to pack our belongings and go to other cities.

We lived our lives in many cities till our youth. In some places, good houses were found in government colonies, but sometimes we had to spend days in a private house in the new city for a long time.

Similarly, once our father was sent to a new city as the in-charge of a farm, mustard all around in this farm.

There were fields of wheat, maize, gram etc. And in the middle of those fields, we got a small but beautiful house to live in.

Because of the fields around the house and the garden being a garden, they were also irrigated. Due to this irrigation there was a strong rule of mosquitoes.

We had to make very special arrangements at night to avoid mosquitoes. Nets were put on the beds, anti-mosquitoes were sprayed, anti-mosquito mats were lit, they used to sleep with some ointment on the body.

Even after doing all this, if there was a need to urinate at night, the mosquitoes would attack, and the mosquitoes used to bite us badly.

We kept the whole family in that city and had malaria and viral infections many times, after being so careful, when we were in this condition, then it is a matter of thinking that what would happen to ordinary people who do not take care.
