Go Corona!! by Rekha Jad

The Corona Carnage continues,gaining foothold and creating panic and fear globally. The scare strikes you as soon as you try calling your dear ones,the throaty coughing caller tune gives you shudders. 

The pandemonium at sensex and nifty ,world economy going bonkers in addition to the the mortality n morbidity is beyond imagination 

 But the virus  has some positive effects as well,has'nt this novel Covid19 taught  the world a novel way of greeting each other.Though Trump had already made Namoste popular across the world,but the virus has really made Namaste viral. This public display of affection in greeting people was getting on nerves,people throwing kisses in air, spluttering the people around and hard hand shakes were sometimes too painful.

Corona really helped few Indians make a fast buck by ridiculously overpricing the masks and sanitizer s,though at cost of fleecing the innocent masses. Hoarder,thy name is Indian,we have really piled up the sanitizer and masks at our homes as if this pandemic is going to last for ever,and without understanding that it takes two to tango.

One virtue we must all imbibe from this corona is to treat all equally,see how impartially without discrimination it has affected Hollywood stars as well political stalwarts with same passion as the commoner and treated all institutes at par,be it a primary school in remote village of Kashmir or a Google office in Silicon city,all in stand still.

We must be thankfull to corona  for allowing us to spend corona vacay at home with our family,friend s and neighbour's. Technologies seem to soak up all our free time,adding to stress and competition,so earlier weekends used to be a time to recuperate from the weeklong stress,spend it now for rejuvenating yourself. Corona fear has made it easy to navigate on otherwise chaotic and messy ,mobbed roads n market s.

I do have a grudge with this virus for grabbing the headline s and attention on whole media,which trivialised the coronation of the prince Jyotiraditya Scindia in the lotus family. Though was a blessing in disguise for Kamalnath to be out of the media glare and humiliation.

But beware,this storm of tumult stirred by corona is just a canary in the coal mine! Nature is in a vindictive mood to settle it's scores. Our greed and unending desires have created an unsustainable life style for us. The greed  for resources and energy has caused the climatic,social  and economic mayhem.

Now a silver lining has come  from Israel in the form of a vaccine and every one can chant hopefully,Go corona ,Go Corona Go Go Go!!!!
