Chicken pox is called "pani sara"---well thats the word the darjeelingeys use. Donno what its called in Nepal---In all likelihood, its the same!!! I know this very well coz I had to be in bed, in almost total seclusion for 2 months during my winter vacation. Add to that the incessant itchiness over all the body, totally boiled food with no salt. Boy was it a torture of what??
