Hello,
The last one which I wrote, one of my friends messaged, that I might have to write till the 10th, the quarantine is just not going anywhere. It’s again extended till the 17th. Sad!
On the other hand, in the United States of America, who is most severely struck by the noble corona virus, people are protesting against the Lock down. And, I was thinking they must have been hiding in their bedrooms, out of paranoia.
Now, governments are realizing that lock down is not a solution to this enemy. Yes, it is an awesome weapon, and we have used it well to slow the initial growth of the virus, which in turn bought us time to create a vaccine for it, in recent future.
Living with Corona is the new normal.
Sooner, we embrace this fact, better it is for our peace of mind. But, this doesn’t mean it is not dangerous, especially for people who already have any medical condition, corona can be deadly. Hence, that section of our population is needed to be protected.
We all may have to stay away from our parents for a while. Yes, we love them, adore them unconditionally, but being a cause for their medical distress is havoc.
I think offices need to get back on track, with the only essential workforce. But, we can’t just wait anymore. It’s pathetic.
Alcohol Shops Re-opening
Well, that was a piece of good news, but what a nightmare it turned out to be. People are going crazy at the liquor shops.
Now, I just want to ask, when government knows, Indians like to drink, why the hell it was stopped in the first place?
In western countries, alcohol is there, beside a bag of rice, in retail stores. I think they believe that being content and happy is more important, than just survive.
But, we Indians, we are best in taking suffering. People will bite their fingers out of desperation, but how can they shout out, that I need a drink, on the rocks.
Take your mask, a sanitizer, a surface disinfectant spray, and start your journey to work amidst the danger of corona. This is the same, as thousands of years before when people used to go in the jungle, to bring food, amidst the danger of an attack from wild animals.
But, what is important, is important. Some perished, some survived, and a few thrived.
I think the same survival attitude needs to comeback. We know, we have to stay happy and sanitized. It is not only important for us but also for our family. Humans will learn to live in a clean place.
But, is sanitization the perfect solution, for our future?
Well, when we are protecting ourselves from something, we are isolating ourselves with something. Till when can we do that? We can’t surely live in secured facilities forever. We need to come back to nature.
We need to take a nap beneath a tree, on lush green grass, with the beautiful music of the bird’s chirpings. Our existence is in adapting with the earth, not to create a new world, within a planet.
No matter, how much advanced we get in technology, an isolated world is always less of something. This corona experience is an eye-opener for sure, we need personalized healthcare, Now the most.
What if I can cure corona at my home, a shot, why can’t we move to personalized healthcare. A database of vitals, and a portfolio of risks, the best package will cover the immediate medicine for all the probable health issues.
Order two, and keep one at your office as well. The constant problem of blood pressure, keep a shot with you, in a container small yet safe to carry precious fluids.
Coming back to nature.
We did great, we made so many things for ourselves, but the day we decided, that let us destroy nature for our needs, we made a mistake.
We just savaged everywhere we went. We became the most dangerous predator. But, nature has again proven, that threat can come from any direction. Hence, the strength is needed in every one person, strength built or injected.
Sometimes, I just feel confused about what to talk about with you people, because the title is like a newspaper, but you are already getting enough on your TV channels. Media is making so much money, a risk worth taking for them.
But, then I sit and write my heart out. In this time, when we all are so far away, this is an effort to keep the conversation going.
Stay Safe, Stay Curious.
