PART: FOUR
Almost entire human beings on the Earth , are seeing and practicing this situation called , “ Lock – Down “ for the very first time in their respective live.
People are forcing them to remain where they are . Roads are empty , public places calm , shops offices closed as if life is stranded fully . This sacrifice on part of us is proving very helpful for the battle against this dreaded virus . May God help us all .
Movements are seized , outings prohibited , meetings banned , all are , where they were ?
Trains stopped , Metros calm, All Buses standstill, ships harbored even Aero planes silent .
Markets quiet, Schools closed, Temples shuttered, pilgrimages barren, people seen are rare,
None has seen this situation in life , still all are following the Government’s guidelines, bent .
Having all the problems , difficulties and uneasiness , man continues to get solutions as well . Every able person in the world started efforts to get medicines for this . They are all busy doing for it . Inventions and researches are going on , across the globe . Time will tell the outcome . In the meantime this deadly virus is regularly consuming human beings from here and there . Considering all, the position of our country is better in this regards . Looking to our population , our loss is comparatively less , thanks to the efforts and to our Almighty .
Human beings are ever busy doing up to their capabilities , skill and situations,
They ever put their full efforts to bring out their desired results for the time.
Nature does perform nonstop, every moment , for our beneficial punctuations ,
Feeds us, keeps us , plays with us , as if , making everything a natural Rhyme ?
No doubt , everyone , irrespective of his abilities , knowledge and resources , is trying to read this situation , to analyze and to have an idea about tomorrow . Yes , every one is striving hard with the present and eagerly thinking for future . Sometimes they seem to be dreaming about it . Will it clean our Environment including atmosphere , rivers , public places and all ? will it ruin our Economy ? Will it make our poor, still poorer ? and like wise hundreds of questions floating in every mind, be he of any standard.
Who so ever is here, in what ever capacity or ability, is trying hard , to make it ,
Knowingly or not they all are thinking about tomorrow of themselves and all .
Can they improve the possibilities , so posing, or simply making dream’s – knit ?
Still, the brains are busy their way , prompting their thoughts to surround it all ?
When we see thousands of the people helping others in this calamity , it gives solace to my tiny thinking and when some persons with vested interests are trying to harm the basic fabric of our social adore, it equally perturbs one’s core . We seem to be fighting two wars simultaneously , one with this calamity and the other with the enemies within ? May God grant our country a big success in it .
Who so ever is capable of , is helping the humanity, in the right way one can ?
Helps are pouring in , even from lowest, but nothing is sufficient in the calamity .
Come one , come all to help our country and this society, in whatever way O’ man,
To bring out all, from this calamitic fall, o’ our big and small , for harmony and amity .
Our country is doing it’s best to save each and every individual by all of it’s abilities. Just see our Doctors , who are doing miracles , in lesser facilities and amenities. Nurses and all other staff doing continuous service to the humanity . They are really very sacrificing , miraculous human beings . Sometimes we seem to be helping the other countries in this sector . Proud feels every patriotic Indian , seeing our country leading the world in this situation.
Continuous On Duty are our Doctors , Nurses and other Medical Staff, to serve ,
Sleep less go their nights , on duty go their recess, uncounted nights and day .
Incredible they seem to be , serving humanity under threat to their live and nerve ,
We really feel proud of our owns, when world has so much good for them to say ?
If we look into the historic aspects of the world , we find only two things propelled every civilization and each and every change , on the globe . They are (1) Politics (2) Tragedies . It did force a discussion whether Politics affected tragedies or these tragedies affected politics ? That is , which one of it is the factor and which is the effect of it ?
Two main aspects , appeared to be influencing , changes in civilization , in every era,
Politics and tragedies kept entire Globe under their control , but who affected whom ?
Some kept lamenting that , for every tragedy on the Earth , Politics is the main straw ,
Others loudly said that , for every political change, these tragedies are the main loom .
It seems that at the gap of around hundred years some pandemic affects The World or some parts of it and destroys more and more human lives . When this world feels relief and says that the said pandemic has gone , we realize too much . When such epidemic leaves , it affects so many changes in cultures and attitudes of the concerned society as a whole . Did Japan change it’s social values, like food habits and number of family members after famine from twelve to 17 th century ? Did they change their religious norms, moral values and Governing System too ?
There used to be major changes in religious , cultural , social values and feeding habits ?
After every big calamity or tragedy people try to adapt life on Earth or in any part of it .
According to the changes carried out by such turmoils , just to cope with their tit – bits ,
They change their houses, family norms , morals even political scenarios may change kit .
Was “ Black – Plague “ the product or residue of the “ Industrial Revolution “ in the West ? Can the historians suppose that enormous growth in Indian Population was the resultant of the political reluctance of the then thinkers and political rulers in 18th to 20th century of our Country ?
Presently the world is suffering from Covid -19, which is worrying present and future of entire Globe .
This Corona Imposed Lock Down , poses following questions in every simple Indian mind –
- Will this “ Lock – Down “ change the Inter – Country – relations ?
- Will the “ Post – Lock – Down – World “ have some major changes ?
- Is this situation asking the world that where and what for your weapons , developments and competitive supremacies are ?
- Will it remind the world about the treatments and their futile advancements ?
- Will the world get a complete effective medicine for this virus and so ?
- Will there be a re allocation of industries worldwide , which will ultimately solve the big problem of Labour Migration to an extent ?
- Will our environment get some effective qualitative improvement ?
- Will this air become more breathing friendly ? Better for plants as well ?
- Will it affect brotherhood ( International and Intra -National ) ?
- Will it really ransack the Economy ?
- Will it improve the , “ World – wide – Rating “ of our country ?
- Will it pose a bigger threat of Unemployment ?
- Will this world reduce it’s plays against nature ? and will be more inclined towards nature ?
- Ozone layer around our Earth ( It’s dangerous hole and it’s self repair on 24-04-2020)
- Will it affect Global Warming ?
- Will shaking of hands will be replaced by “ Namastey “ ( Indian way of respect on face ) ?
- Will a culture of “ Work – from – Home “ and “ On- Line -Classes “ come in place ?
- Will people quit some habits like smoking etc after this ?
- Will it bring some material changes in mental diseases, depression and loneliness etc. ?
- Will this world bring a better positive future by adapting against posing problems ?
Even if one is not able to think , he or she thinks it all so elaborately to bring out such points . Will discuss these points to elaborate .
