Regularly scheduled programming was interrupted by a special news bulletin of a self-styled guru being rushed to the hospital.
Initial reports indicated that he experienced chest pains while indulging with a second helping of his favorite steak.
An hour later, the doctor who attended to him reported that he only suffered heartburn. It brought relief to thousands of his followers who believed that his death would signal the end of the world.
No doubt about it, seeing their guru on TV smiling and flashing the thumbs up was enough motivation to keep donations flowing to his ashram and life’s mission.

Touring with the rock band was his life and gave him the ultimate high. Being on the road, however, was extremely hard for his wife and kids.
Feeling lonely and neglected, his wife had thought of divorcing him.
Then the global pandemic hit. Suddenly, Ryan found himself with no gigs to play and forced to shelter at home.
Staring at his musical instruments lying idle, he hoped to go back to performing again in the future.
But you could say COVID-19 was his saving grace. It gave him lots of time to reconnect with his family and saved his marriage.
