COVID 19 — END FOR THE NEW BEGINNING

COVID 19, the fearsome name…creating panic and gripping our minds day and night, affecting our soul, giving us the scare of remaining in isolation.Isolation is not the real threat but yes staying away from our loved ones, our passion, our home and our work place is more scary. Now this is the real threat , but imagine a new born baby who needs his mother the most is also in isolation, imagine all elderly who are bound to be in isolation not even knowing whether they will ever be meeting their children. They are not sure whether they will survive and go back home or would be taken to their last destination from the hospitals. With all these facts in mind still they choose isolation not only for their well being but for the well being of others. Life is short don’t make it shorter. No doubt the situation is critical but we cant loose our mind but can act wise by taking necessary precautions to fight against this devastating stage because precaution and prevention is the only cure.

Social Distancing should be done physically not emotionally. This is a high time when we as humans realise that there is a supreme power above all, who at every step makes you feel his presence, so respect him and respect humanity. Stand tall against this dreaded disease. Cooperate with the authorities and the doctors. Our safety is in our hands. Following the instructions as advised by the Government’s advisory committee, will not only keep us safe but also keep our loved ones safe. Nagging and turning a blind eye towards all these things is befooling ourselves and entering the Danger zone. Before we nag let us all remember the face of the new born who needs his mother the most, he yearns for the lap of his mother and the milk that he wants each time he feels hungry.We as adults can’t stay away from our parents for long but this little infant is fighting this dreaded disease all alone without complaining, without any negativity , without running away from the hospital and without playing any blame game. If this infant can have a deeper understanding of this crucial and critical time. Why can’t we the matured adults behave as responsible citizens? So lets all join our hands virtually and fight this disastrous disease by acting in the right manner and most importantly covering not only our faces with masks but also with the prayers.

COVID -19…..Is not the end of the human race but an eyeopener…a new start of a human race where humanity and being human is the only lesson we learn and transmit to others.
