Corona Pandemic: Lessons Learnt to Unlearn

As the rest of world is trying hard to rein in the havoc unleashed by both invisible and invincible little creatures, India is also putting her best foot forward by tightening the grip to prevent social spread of the pandemic.

Never ever in the modern history of  humankind ,the entire globe was affected by a calamity within the same time frame.

Happenings around                                                        

When sadness, thanks to perils and deaths and madness, due to isolation and separation from dear ones took a toll on the mood of  men, there were other surprises from nature who came to revisit (or shall I say reclaim?) their lost empires.

We watched videos of dead bodies being disposed without performing final rites, motor vehicles on roads rusting, pigeons nesting in the undercarriages of air crafts stranded on runways. But we also saw dolphins, geese, fishes enjoying cleaner water bodies. The scenario raised some serious questions.

• Did Covid19 leave us with a few good lessons we need to remember for generations to come?
• Were we right in encroaching the habitats of other species for our selfish ends?
• Why should we become number one and where we actually want to reach?

I believe some of you know the game of 'Snakes and Ladders'. In most of the boards there would be the longest snake with its mouth wide open on number 99 which would swallow you to reach the bottom of the board.

Did we work day and night to reach this position?

Remember now the timer has been reset.

And the need of the hour is to join our hands, march with steady pace forgetting the differences in size, creed or color and spread only positivity and not the disease.
